JUAN held the telephone receiver close to her pink ear, just as ' though Bob Phillips himself stood be side her instead of sitting in his office staring dejectedly into his own trans mitter. "Your dear old thing I" Jean mur mured to Bob, and the response was startling. ' How perfectly idiotic to talk that way!" was the growling answer. 'What did you say?" demanded Jean 1 in a freezing tone. "Hoes it matter?" retorted the j growl. "li may not matter much to me," blazed .lean, "but I assure you that It matters to you. I am returning your ring now." Deep laughter overflowed the re celver. .lean held it away from her ear In disgust, Her blue eyes were uide with bewilderment and every nerve tingled. Suddenly she hung up the receiver, and the tiny click .seemed to be the lock on the closed door of happiness.' "The h-b-big b-o-o-or!" she sobbed recklessly. Fifteen minutes later Nora tapped at her door. "Mr. Whitten ut the telephone, Miss Jean." Jean flung on a hat and opened the door. "Thank you, Nora; please tell Mr. Whitten that I have Just gone to the post office to mail a package to him!" "Yes, Miss Jean, and begging your pardon, ma'am, your but is on wrong side before." Jean adjusted her hat, tied a spot led veil across her telltale eyes, and proceeded to the post otlice to muil a certain registered parcel that con tained one blazing solitaire diamond ring and a sapphire bracelet (a birth day gift). "1 hate the ring," con fessed .Jean morosely, "but I wish I COUld keep the bracelet; a birthday gift I another kind of n keepsake. Pooh, I don't want any of his tilings. I will send bis letters back as soon us I can collect them." Of course .lean knew where every one of Hob's love letters were hid den ; she also knew by heart every Word In every letter, and could close her eyes and visualize the position of certain words and phrases on the earliest letters. She mailed the pack age that morning and during the eve ning Bob called. "She says she's not at home, sir," said Nora with just the proper de gree of respect for n tragic moment. Bob looked miserable. "Look here, Norn," be said desperately, "what Is Miss Jean doing? Is she entertain ing or what? I must see her If I can." Nora advanced a step and spoke In a whisper. "She's been nowhere much today, and she crying, sir, fit to break her heart," She winked back a tear in her own sympathetic eye. "Thank you, . . . perhaps she will answer the telephone." He made his way out of the house and went to his club and shot Into a telephone booth. Upstairs In her own room, Jean heard the front door close dully, and applied a fresh handkerchief to her reddened eyes. Presently Nora lapped at the door. "The telephone, Miss Jean," she said hurriedly. "This is Jean Ross," said Jean, pick ing Up the receiver. "Ah, Jean. What do you mean, dearest, by sending that ring back to mO and the bracelet?" Bob want ed to know in Ids dear voice. "If you will think hard, I nm sure you will recall our telephone conver sation this morning," returned Jean In Icy tones. "Did we have one?" Inquired Mr. Whitten dryly. 'Didn't vi7" slip rtorti,l Bob's voice took on a heavy Judi cial tone. "I rang you up this morn ing and asked you to go to the the ater tonight, and never received any response from you. I found later that We bad been cut off, so I waited awhile and rang you again, and Norn said you had gone to the post oflleo, and then In the mall tonight I found that that Junk !" "Junk !" breathed, Jean furiously. "Do rOU mean to deny holding a con versation w ith me this morning at ten o'clock?" "It didn't happen," affirmed Bob. "Why, Robert Whitten!" "It's the truth!" stoutly. Jean tottered, oliliging desperately te the Instrument. "Then," she quav ered, "then w-who-oo was It culled me an Id Idiot?" "Not 1 ! I wish I could get hold of (be fellow I'd lick hi in good and plenty," "I 8-Ritbl I w-wns returning your r;rhi2. and he laughed horribly." "The deuce he did! Some cheer ful Idiot diking advantage of crossed wires. There I was waiting for a re sponse from you." Long silence from Jean, and then Bob demanded roughly. tenderly, "Have you been crying, darling?" "Yes!" she whlsK-red. "Then I am coming right over to see you." "Now ?" In a panicky voice. "Yep ; but you'll have time to pow der onr nose before I get there." and his ramble of laughter was mlor ably different from that of the "big biHir." "1 knew nil the time It couldn't possibly he Bob," said Jean Illogical ly as she bung up the receiver and flew to the mirror.
