Now she wanted to relay him for that old hurt. He didn't even realize when he had wounded, this unheeding, dazzling young man. "I don't know," she murmured. How long will It take you to know?" Boland Walnwright asked. How can I tell, Hollo?" Willi an effort she raised her eyes to his lace. Her curiosity to read his ex pression overcame her shyness. He's thinking, went her mind, that a Mulr whose molher was a Virginia Vee is not to be scorned, that I Vve plenty of money and that it Jould be rather nice to capture a l rl who had refused to marry a Jlarquls. "Give me a little time," she said nd brought a vivid smile to play across her face. I'm not really li liig cruel, she thought. He doesn't knnestly love me. He doesn't actu glly know what It Is to really love. I do so want to hurt his pride the ay he once hurt mine. His hands dropped from her )oulders. He patted one of her hceks with a touch that was gentle lut quite superficial. "Just a little time, darling.' filled. He was sure ot her. smiled too. He left soon after this. "You'll go to the Charity He She ball with me," he said as they stood by the front door. It was a statement, not a question. "That would be lovely," returned Venice. Every one would see them together at the Charity ball. After that she would definitely dismiss lum. Lying awake she rebelled at the vapidity of soctul success. It's smotiicrtng me, she thought. I'll stagnate. I must do something. I'll fake extension courses at Columbia. I'll write for a booklet tomorrow. She watched the air through the open window stirring the pinned back curtains. Pale, unhappy wraiths, rising and falling. Hcstlve and captured. Like a soul strug gling In the nigitt. Their movement synchronized with her breathing. She dropped a; lecp. The telephone call that intcr T iptcd Venire at luncheon the next day drove all thoughts of Columbia courses from her mind. There was the noisy Jangle and Nora put clown on the serving table the plate of omelette she was passing to answer the Insistent ring. "Mr. Farrelly. Miss Venice." "Who?" asked Venice, wonder ing If she had heard aright. "Mr. Farrelly." Venice dropjied her napkin on the floor In her excited hurry. Hello, Drake." "Hello, Venice. I'm afraid I took you from your lunch." "Who wouldn't prefer a dashing oiing man to an omelette!" "Right. An omelette la only so many eggs. A young man Is all sorts of unknown Ingredients." She heard his quick Infectious laugh. "Would you dine Willi me tonight Venice?" "I'd love to." "Excellent. I'll stop for you at seven.' "I'll have my fase washed and shining." "And I'll wear a cabbage In my buttonhole." Returning ta the dining room Venice's heart was doing funny things and she was tremendously cscllcd. What should she wear? That black dress with the lace collar and culls, or tlie pale grey? Orey did very well with her copper r.air. She decided on the grey. It had a coat to match with tre mendous lox collar and a mere pill box of a hat that perched on one fKtc of her Head. It was a long day. Twice she thought the cl'K-k had stopped. sitting In front of the open fire waning nis arrival tlie Impatiently lit a cigarette. She rarely smokod but did not slop to wonder whv she did now. a moment later she tossed It Into the flames and rose to stralrlitru a picture Iiere, a vase there, pummel a pillow, cliange tlie line of the window shades. Then slie hurried back Into her bedroom to survey herself In the glass. think 111 put on the black after all." She started slipping out of the grey when slie remembered that she had worn black that day In the park, so slie hastily hooked sier cutis again. "Mr. Farrelly, Miss Venice' Philadelphia printer, William Brad ford, and the arrlal of an ambi tious German papartnakw, William Rlttenhouse.

"Show him Into the living room. I'll be right there, Nora." She mustn't hurry, slie stood In the window an Instant and tried to take Interest In the moving stream of cars below, then slowly, as If It didn't matter, she saunt ered Into the living room. "Hello, Drake." "Hello, Venice." She liked the way ns always shook hands. So few people did nowadays If they saw you more than once In a few months. "Shall we have a cocktail before we go?" she asked. It was a sud den Inspiration from out an un expected shyness that was creeping over her. His ge was so analyti cal, so searching. She was sure he had heard something about her since they last met. Just the thing. I uiougm we mlalit trv the Lafayette, and I doubt If you can get them there. Its one of my favorite nauius. us so un-New York, something un hurried about It." I d love to go there. I've never been. And It's so old almost His toric, isn't it? But wolt a minute while I see about the cocktails." Returning to the living room she sat down on a foot stool, her back to tlie fire, and uncomiortaoiy sought for words. I thought you were going wj tel ephone me ages ago," sue man aged. "I thought SO too. BUI ive Dcen working, like a fool on that sky scraper. Got my plans in yester day. I think I have a pretty fair chance In the contest." Me opposite her on the big sofa. How spicnaid. i wisn you coum win." So do I." Nora came In with the cocktails and appetizers. Funnily enough, I met Lorn on my way here. I haven't seen her for ages." What did she have to say?" I told her I was taking you to dinner. She had a lot to say. Venice's heart leaped. He had heard. Lola could never resist spreading and exaggerating the flugranee of gossip. Drakes inter est was ensnared at last. Bne smiled gaily. "What about?" "You." "Don't be so cryptic, Drake. A full expose, please." "An American was ardently vour trail all summer and Marquis killed himself because you woiildn t marry him." "You put It so badly." "Isn't It all rather bald?" She stared. His tone was flat, almost disappointed. He showed no bright Interest in the rumors at tending a shy girl who had always appeared too quiet. She could not fatliom his reaction to this news. She felt a trifle baffled. "Another cocktail?" she suggest ed. He refilled their glasses. "Lola exaggerates," slie said. "Of course. But didn't she have something to build on?" "Just a few bricks and straws." She was sparring for time. She must understand what was going through his mind before she could show off the new and dashing Venice. There was a silence. "A most attractive apartment you have," he finally said. "And how Jolly the fire is. Open fires are like friendships, warm and al ways showing ditterent lights and colors." "What a nice Idea. I don't think I haw any really Important friend ships except Nolly Spalding. And I've fooled her a little about my self." Why had slie said that? Was she going to angle for sympathy again? she was being stupid. "How?" If she explained aha would be glvlnlg herself away. "Little things," slie evaded. "I won t pry," he laughed. "Shall we go to dinner now?" Yes." Back In lier own room, donning her hat and coat, slie felt puzzled and at sea. Something had ent ered their relationship that was unnatural. She felt It. An unsure touch In Drake's treatment of her. Did he perhaps think himself un important to a girl who had broken a titled heart? Was h a trllle awed by the new Venice he had glimpsed? No. It wasn't that but she couldn't deduce what It was. tTo Be Continued! NO, lNlfc-FROfA JAKE- MB. VJtkRWJCK. TOJI HUNT SEEM owe . MKHtae NO- BUT VAlXHT VJOWM- IFOR ME, Iw there?
