she looked at him quickly.

“Most exiracrdinary girl. Beyond

Together they went Into the hotel,
and Pike watched them with somber
eyes.
Horace quietly slipped off
through the arbor Ethel turned to
Pike violently.
“What have you to say to me?“ she
demanded. “What explanations have
you to make?“
“None.” he answered.
“Because you don’t care what 1 think
ef you. You were willing to give me
up to these people, to let me romanti­

efforts to make that creature a man,

“I shouldn’t wonder,” be replied.
“Didn’t you know that would hor­

“I shouldn’t be surprised.”
“You mean you’ve been saving me

“She won’t be there.” said Daniel
disconsolately.
“She might be.” Ethel answered In
a different tone.
“There ain’t any chance of that. The
