Her face clouded.
"I know I'm not very demonstra
te," he admitted. "I'm sorry."
Ton ain t much good at pretenain ,
harshly. But he thought he
fit a little better at pretending than
knew.
"Be a little patient with me, will

I But even her lore for him could
let teach her patience. Soon Lottie
am crying and he was obliged to eom-
frrt her and pretend some more.
'Ton do lore me, don t yon ? she
lid, nooning her eyes and choking
lick the last of her sobs.
"Of course I do, Lottie," he said
fully, "I'm a lucky chap and I know
"You'll never know how I love you,
fiblo. Never'."
Tou're awfully good to me. Lot-
He."
"Good? Kiss me, honey. Oh not
Ike that!"
What If ha should drop his arms
id y. "I can't go through with it,
ttle! I can t!" What would happen
iea! He had not known she would be
demanding for demonstrations of
iffeetion. He had not known that pre
coma he so hard.
SitfDe wrote Pablito that evening.
i aid to send the letter by post
leeame there was no chauffeur now
h carry messages. She wrote:
I "Dear Pablito: It Is good to write
four real name without fear. Marcia
In told my father and me what she
ai Wd you. too. I am so glnd for
feo. I have not for a long while been
fllad about anything.
"I want to see you and wonder

tag here, I fel that oh, I don't know.
1 enn t ipress It.
I hurt you horribly. I know. Pi.
hapi if I had been stronger I would
have seen iome way to avoid doing
that. But I want to tell you now that
I love you as much as I can ever love
anyone and I will marry you if you
still want me to. Estelle."
Pablito re-rend the note slowly,
his eyes blurred by the diiziness that
had swept over him as he read It the
first time. Then the servant appenred
at the top of the stairs and behind
her Pablito saw Norria Noyes t
For a moment Notes paused; then
he moved forward with a weak, grop
ing "Pablito!"
Pablito clung to Noyee' hands. The
two made the small meaningless com-1
ments people make when emotions
are too great to be expressed by
words. At length Pablito said. "I have
never needed you so much as now"
And even Xoyes, in his hjmbleness,
could believe that. Pablito was thin.
His eyes were tired and his lips were
set to that grim line which tells of
a vast determination and an equally
vast hopelessness,
"What's wrong?" the older man
asked.
"It's nothing that can be changed,"
Ptiblito assured him. "I wouldn't even
bother you alwut it but you know I've
always told you everything " For a
moment he pressed the letter in bis
pocket, then abruptly his hand drop
ped. He had no right to press that
letter nor feel a shaken and ecstatic
warmth as he touched it. He m ist
write Kstelle and tell her he was en
gaged to be married. To write her
that after she had tcld him she loved
him as much as she could love any
one! "A mnn named Billings sent a note
to you," No j-en said, "but I forgot
it. I left it on the bureau propped
before the glass hut I was so ex
cited "
"We'll get it when we get your
things," Pablito said. He put an arm
around Xoyes stooped shoulders and
for a short moment forgot that things
had a way of coming to him too late.
Lottie was assembling her trous
seau gaudy frocks and fragile under
tones of orchid, peach and sapphire
chiffon. Collecting this finery, hr
came as close to happiness as she had
been since Pablito had asked her to
marry him. Sometimes in the nights
Lottie woke with tours on her cheeks.
Pablito was not happy, she knew.
Well, she vowed in her bravest mood,
she'd make him so. But at other
times she realized she did not know
how to make him happy.
Noyes pitied he girl deeply but was
distracted at the thought of her be
coming Pablito's wife.
He said one morning after Lottie
hod lost her temper and thrown a cup
of tea at the fast disappearing ser
vant, "Pablito, you can't marry that
girl !"
"But I'm going to," Pablito said
grimly. "I owe her a lot," he added
more gently, "and ahe cares for me.
Besides, I've already asked her. The
thing's done."
Things can be undone."
There was no answer to that. Pres
ently Noyes went on. "I've heard that
yon cared for Jim Field's daughter."
"I still do." Pohlito let himself sny.
"Then you're not being fnir to her
to Lottfe."
"I'm sorry." Pallto shook his hnd.
"T can't talk about it. Besides It's
all settled."
