I wasn't aware that you were Interested In the subject, and hardly know to what you refer." "W hy, It was all In the papers this afternoon wasn't i t ? Everybody knows about I t ! ” “ Ah,” said the lawyer, “ I would ad vise you not to put too much faith la the papers, Miss Dallys." ‘'But It said that Hall would get his uncle's money— " Rosamund, who had joined her, broke In— “ If he was married on or be fore his twenty-eighth birthday—" Mrs. Royalton was also In It, eiclted- ly— “ And he's twenty-eight tomorrow — no, It's today!” Mr. Doremus stood, with hts hands behind his back, watching them im passively. "Ah. my dear ladles, that just shows how little one can depend upon the dally press. 'On and after,’ reporters love such expressions. They positively seem to think that no docu ment Is oomplete without that par ticular term— ” “ But Isn't It 'on or before'?” they demanded. “ Not at all. Not at all. The phrase Is, to the best of my recollection, 'be fore he has attained his twenty-eighth birthday/ In the Interpretation of the law, one's birthday begins at midnight preceding such date. Mr. Bonlstelle's chances for Inheriting, therefore, lapse at twelve o'clock.” One and all turned to gaze at the •lock. “ And now, It’s ten minutes past!” cried Carolyn. “ So It seem s!" said Mr. Doremus. “ And now, ladies. Is there anything •lse I can do for you? If not, I must rejoin Mr. Hasslngbury and discuss bis legal arrangements.” With a low bow he passed at once out of the room. For a moment, the three ladies, non plused. were dumb. Then, slowly, Rosa mund turned to Carolyn, all her rancor gone. "W ell,” she said, “ don't that beat anything you ever heard In your life?” It was evident by Carolyn's lronlo smile that she considered the remark Inadequate, but even she could do no better. Mrs. Royalton was more ef fective. She burst into tears. Rosamund began to storm. "W hy, It's no better than stealing! That's the only word for I t !” "Lord, donY be a fool," said Carolyn Anally, "w e got the wrong tip, that's all. But I seem to see, now, why M r Hall was In so much of a hurry." “ I'm going hom e!” wailed Mrs. Roy alton, dabbing her eyes. “ I'm not, till I give him a piece of my m ind!” cried Rosamund. "Hush! W alt a m inute!" Carolyn whispered. "Is that he out In the of fice, there, with Miss Fisher? You wait here, girls, I'm going to call him in !" Leaving them, she walked quietly to the door. “ H all! Oh, H a lil” she called sweet ly. She smiled as if upon an angel “ Come in here a minute, will you? I ’ve got a little surprise for you !” She darted back, and took her place with the others, three in a line. He came In smiling, saw the three outraged ladles, and stopped, with an embarrassed grin. “ What is it? " he managed to say. “ Ob, Hall, Hall, you've broken my h eart!” Mrs. Royalton wept again. “ Hush up, Rena, You let me talk. Miss Gale, will you? I'd like to hear Just what this particular sort of cur ean find to say for him self!” “ O u ilty!" said Hall, seeing the use lessness of protest. “ Now go ahead!' "H ave you got any face to stand there and calmly acknowledge— ” Carolyn broke in. “ You deliberately deceived us, then— all th ree!" “ Just exactly as you deceived one an oth er!" he could not resist adding A t that, all three broke loose to gether. and, for the next five minutes Hall Bonistelle faced the music. It was not only useless, but impossible, to answer them. He stood, with his arms folded, bowing and smiling sar denlcally. The stiletto was Carolyn's weapon, but for Rosamund, the bludgeon. Aha. little Jaek-the-Lady-Killer, are you? Three at a shot, eh?" sang ia between “ You’re a cad, Hall Bonistelle, you’re a liar and a ch ea t!" Poor Rena could but feebly pinch him with reproaches, she was dissolved in her woe. 80 It west, spitting, pounding and blubber Ing— he ought to be horsewhipped, someone's father or somebody's broth er should thrash him! It was an out rags and a disgrace. What if they called in the company to publish his rascality? They were glad, glad, glad he had lost his money; It was good enough for him! It was then that Hall saw a great light. He gave a laugh that stilled them “ Oho! The money! So that's why you were all suddenly so keen to marry me. was It! Why. I don't see bow yeu women have the nerve to look me In the face! Why, a woman will do anything for money, then, will she? She’ll cheat, and He and cut her best friend’s throat behind her back— by Jove, you're the coldest-blooded set of female vamplrea 1 ever saw In my life! It's a revelation to me! So that's all you wanted, eh? That's why you all hung fire this morning, and got me Into this confounded meas—oh, you wanted time! Y’ es, time to Investi gate my finances, of course— and then, when you do get wind of this devilish old legacy, then you're all after me on the gallop, like a pack of Siberian wolves— falling over one anotner to see who can get to the telephone first! Wall, thank God I found it out In time! Thank God I'm free of all three of you, yoq lying, back biting, mercenary, two- faced hypocrites! W ell, it's all over, now. I advise yon to trnln your guns on Cousin Jonas!" There was a disagreeable pause When the pot calls the kettle black It Is uncomfortable for both. Then the three women, their rage and disap pointment still unappeased, swept out of the studio and left him alone. Rosa mund went out, eurly and lowering, Carolyn sarcastlo to the last, with a bitter smile upon her Ups, Mrs. Royal- ton abjectly weeping, hurling her faint reproaches with a lessening m ight She turned at the door to pull the ruby ring from her hand, and, with all of Flodie's abandon, If with less of Flodie's Justification, tossed It at him. He drew a long breath, and dropped Into a chair. It had been a very bad five minutes; It was a relief to have It over. What next? The music still continued, but It would soon be time for his guests to be leaving. He knew he ought to go out Into the other rooms and play the host—but he could not. It was Impossible for him to see again the three ladles who must Just now be making their scornful exit. As soon a i they were out of the way, he would do his best with the others. He knelt down on the floor and be gan to search for the ring. "A re you In here, Mr. Bonistelle?” came Flodie's gentle voice at the door He Jumped up and faced bar. “ Yes, Flodie." She came In timidly and gave a glance at the clock. "Yea. It's all over; the money’s gone!” he said calmly. "H ave they left yet?” She nodded, smiling. “ They're all making up to Jonas with all their might. Ry the way they talked, you must have had a »retty lively time with them.” Flodie sat dowa demurely. " I should say so, Flodie! Three ladles have told me tonight rather ex plicitly that I'm a cad. What d'you think?” “ You're n o t!" she cried Flodie sat up Indignantly, her eyes biasing He gave her a quick surprised look, and his face lighted with hope. It was the first time their eyes had met In perfect accord. It was the first real thrill. “ Then— " he hardly dared to say It— “ have you forgiven me, Flo?" "H ave you forgiven me?” "Y ou ! For what?" It was evident that she need not fear him. Flodie cast down her eyes a mo ment, then raised them boldly. “ For pretending." "Pretending what?" "Pretending that I didn't care " Flo die, suddenly embarrassed, Jumped up and walked away from him. Hall made a leap for her. He caught hdr In his arms. “ Oh, do you care. Flodie? Do you? Do you? Even after all this?” He kissed her ardently full on the lips. ■ Flodie extricated herself from his grasp. “ Isn't it— of course it's very nice. H all—It's awfully nice— but Isn't It— Just n little— well, premature?" She brought It out timidly, but her face showed her raptnre. He dropped his arms and stood, sud denly disconcerted, then laughed nerv ously. "W hy, surely you ought to be lieve me now, Flodie! I'm right back to where I was this morning— no for tune, no prospects— Just working for my living, and quite head over heels In debt.” Flodie giggled blissfully, "Do you want your eggs boiled two minutes, this morning, Mr. Bonistelle, or three?” He smiled sad shook bis head "Yes, It's all over— I ’ll have no mil lions to offer you. after all, Flodie.

For a moment he stood looking at h « , puzzled, then a broad grin spread over his face. "O h !” he cried. "W ell I guess! Is that i t ! ” Jubilant, Dow, he approached her with playful mock romantic airs, knelt and put bla arms around her. "Will you marry me. Flodie?" CHARTER XV. Flodie Inexplicably burst Into tears.

"Oh, It Isn’t that— d—n It all, I'm such a fool I forgot all about the li cense! Confound It, It's a shame! Just my luck! W e'll have to wait till tomorrow, Flodie." Flodie suddenly disengaged herself from his arm. "You wait a m inute!" She ran to the door, looked Into the of fice and called "A lfr e d !” In another minute she was joined by the Janitor.
