"Naturally," Claud agreed, "but as

Ned Interrupted. "It's rather up to

Polly said, quietly, "to come at once.
Tou se, Loren, I had never met your

"Oh Quit." Loren agreed hastily,
bis color coming back gradually. Then
th rd headed beauty bad not given
hlra entirely away. It would have
been awkward, especially In view of
bis relations with Claude. , "Th boy's

II put his srm about Mary, who

Mary mechanically put on th bat.

whisked out Into th hall, hurried to
th elevator, snd found herself being
piloted to4 gondola by a tall young
man who laughed down st her snd
treated all th ret of th world a

II stooped to look under Mary's
bat and th sinll died oat.
That sort of an engagement will
never bold nis," Mary said quietly,
meeting his eye. "It was very clev-

and I will."
In th alienee that followed this re

"No."

"That settles everything," Ned
took slowly. "Ill go, tomorrow. Tou

"Tou cant go. Father's fond of

"Wetter welt- for the children,"
Claude suggested. ."Why not din

Mary's plans for the future, and make
our arrangements for her."
Polly stood Irresolutely looking
down st the Orsnd csnal, Just as her
daughter had done that afternoon, op
pressed by the tumult of her thoughts.
"I want you to know, Claude, that
It wasn't the money your money. It

Polly sank Into the chair at the win

Polly stsred out over tb water and

"You're rather wonderful, Clsude

"doing what cam uppermost It's you
