peter glanced toward his desk
in. 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.
