iftird. Then he remembered, rather
arilr, that GypT would not be

tod It and was curious in her In
ginle feminine fashion.
If I don't find the Wilsons at
kit m wander around and have
hy myself and get that train.
w" She sounded awfully down, poor
H. Tom felt terribly aorry for her.
fbrt she got off she wnTed at hiro
uj t was glad he had been decent
br. It wasn't much fun, being a
ul ilone in New York.
li LOa'i eiotic dining room a dark
Uirfd young woman in a modish
ijrirot satin gown looked down the
feci ttble nervously at a handsome,
nrier dishevelled young man who
hi )t entered. Instlntctlvely she
pipped her hands together. Derek's
itn were wild ana nia tweeo;s
need ent oddly in this assemblage of
aa in fall evening hit.
Iili rose to the occasion auperbly.
Ditin, t chair for Mr. Bliss. Derek
tv iweet, how good of you to drop
i. why didn t you let me know yon
m sere? I thought you were in
Banff. Someone told me . . ."
Derek dropped Into the chair eonie-
m paihed forward, never taking his
iftt from her face. If Lila was dis
turbed by his arrival she
it well. Only G i- notiwd that the
white bosom, dipping into the deep V
of her black lace decotletaRe, roup
and U on a Quicker breath. Her
coloring was not heightened one iota.
I just cot back thin afternnnn "
Derek said thickly, carefullly. "I only
just heard about. , .
Marko scraped his chair Jon the
polished floor, interrumine. 'Tou
look splendid, my dear fellow, Bplen-
ma . . .
Derek fued him with a glitterinr
eye. "Thnnks, awfuTlj-," he said care
fully. "Thnnkf, a lot. Mighty good of
you to aay tnat. '
Marko was standing now, his facs
ruddy In the dim liftht. 'Com along,
my boy." he boomed. "Come- along.
We'll hav a talk in the library.'
Derek shook off his big hand. His
fair, handsome fare was distorted.
"I'm laying here. he said mMly.
"I'm telling our friends all about it.
They know I'm a modern man. They
know these thin are done. What
are you afraid of?"
''Hunt,' Gypsy half whispered.
'This is really dreadful. Can't you
do something?"
On an impulse Gypsy went to him.
"Derek, come along. Let's go out on
the terrace and cool off," she said
softly. He gave her a curious pene-
trntinir glance.
. "Oh. it's you. Is it! I didn't know
you ran with this crowd. Where's
that nice fellow, your husband?'
Gypsy's color Pained. "He's not
here. Derek. He's working . .
"Ah. working. Derek's expression
became cunning. VThnt's good. That's
the ridit idea. We're all modern
people . .
But he got to his feet and L!1a
threw Gypsy one amused, desperate,
grntefiil glance.
"I'll do something for you aome
day." she said under her breath.
Derek took Gypsy's arm and they
strolled out to the narrow terrace
with Its hijrh stone wall, its awnings,!
its trees in gnyly painted tubs. Tbej
girl was trembling all over.
"Tt's going to storm." she said. I
stupidly and Incoherently. The air:
was sultry. There was In it that;
feeling of hieh and unbearable ten-1
sion.
Derek stared down at her. Sullen-!
ness had dropped from him like a
mak. "Why did you want to get me
out of there, little Gypsy?" he want
ed to know. "What were you afraid
of? Can't a man conarjitutat his
wife on getttne a better man? That
is, a richer one?"
"Yon realty mustn't say these
dreadful thines," she protested. "It
isn't fair to IJla . . .H
His laugh was horrible to hear.
"No. lefs be fair to Lila at all
costs,' he said loudly.
He leaned over the parapt.
"Lovely city.' he chanted, staring
at the rooms spread before him like
a gray tapestry. "Lovely, hellish,
faithless city. Just like a woman.
Promises all . . . gives nothing . .
He lurched, and In that split sec
ond Gypsy gcreamed.
"Derek! Ah, great heavens!'
Her finrers. groping, clutched
empty air. There was no one on the
parapet save herself.
