The large robin's egg blue lope which was so familiar t Mm was on top of the pile of littcri stacked on his desk. When Paul was gone he picked ip th scented letter with his use scrawled in Valeria's fjiilht up and down handwriting, lit had written: "It was terribly litd to be condemned without a luring. Peter. And because I'm ihld you won't give me an op pittnnity to talk things over, this the only way. I had been ill rer that horrible story in the uwpaper and then you came in Ktmlng me of such horrible tefi. I wasn't equal to explaln ij to you how Innocently I got i!0 those parties. Tbey seemed Jut big larks and I never dreamed ico would mind. Peter, I am com V to Mllllcent's party tonight, hrbapa I shouldn't. But oh, Mar, I couldn't help It I have tee you. Be a little kind to Kit Valeria." Valeria was dressing for the re action and dance wtheh would la Millicent's welcome to her step Mher's bride. Mrs. Watnrlght ana In to watch the finishing man. Valeria was in brilliant ppblre, which deepened the blue t her eyes and made ber fair lair a shining gold. When Valer la was a little older. e probably would be called Itaip. Recognising this tendency, she selected her clothes carefully, uu mougiu io unes as well as becomingness. The dress she was wearing made her look graceful and slender. Mrs. Walnricht had complained over the extragngance of a new dress, reminding Valeria of other lovely frocks she owned. But no dress she bad worn be fore would answer the purpose of this occasion. So the IVnrV hurt been purchased with reckless dis regard or tuture rayment. "It Isn't as though you were going to be a nrlllionairn'i . wlf now," Mrs. Wainrlght said caus tically. She had wanted to hurt her niece who had been a fool to lose Peter Kendall. Valeria did look beautiful tn. night, sweet and charming. Only ner aunt knew the vicious claws behind the girl's gentle manner: how shrill tho low, well-bred voice coma become In a moment. At times when Valeria turned upon her, Mrs. Wainrlght felt she almost hated her for her arrogance and selfishness. But blood was thicker than water, after all. The older woman had been indignant when the newspapers had printed tne startling news of Peter's sud den marriage, hinting that an. nouncement of hiR engogement to a prominent society girl had been expected, i Valeria's distress hsd been gen uine enough. She bad always ex pected to be Mrs. Peter Kendall Greedily she had wanted to eat her cake and have It too; unwil- ling to give up some of her ex citing conquests until she wa6 on the eve of marriage. As far as she was capable of loving any one, she did love Peter. He at tracted her. And he was very rich. 'Ho you think I won't marry a millionaire." Valeria said, smiling Into the mirror as she touched her lips with rouge. "Don't give up hope so soon. I still have my hair, eyes and complexion." They haven t brought you much except Invitations to a few drink ing parties. "They got me Peter " "What good did that do when you let him slip Through your fingers?" Valeria whirled, her eyes bias ing. "Isn't that little word 'di vorce' in your vocabulary, darling? And haven't you ever heard of a place called Reno?" "So that's your game?" "You didn't think I would sit back and let that girl keep him! She won't get away with marrying him while he was tight." "You'll only make yourself ridic ulous circulating such a story." "She took him away when he was so upset he wasn't respon sible," Valeria said, ignoring ber aunt's words. "I know be has re gretted It a thousand times al ready and wants to be rid of her." "Well, I don't know," Mrs. Wain- right said doubtfully. "The picture in the paper was beautiful. "You certainly are a comfort. I suppose you think she has brains, too. Well, she will need them!" Valeria wore no jewelry. Peter's big diamond was In her jewel case. She had not returned it. Some day she confidently expected It would be slipped back on her finger.
