"Mr. Doremus!" she ejaculated. “ 1
heard somethin! about H all’s losing
money— his uncle's will, you know—
that was a mistake, wasn't It?”
“ How a mistake, MiBs Dallys!
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

A t that, all three broke loose to

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

It was then that Hall saw a great
light. He gave a laugh that stilled
them
“ Oho! The money! So that's why

He drew a long breath, and dropped
Into a chair. It had been a very bad

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

not. It was Impossible for him to see
again the three ladles who must Just

would do his best with the others.
He knelt down on the floor and be

She came In timidly and gave a

"H ave they left yet?”
She nodded, smiling. “ They're all

" I should say so, Flodie!

“ You're n o t!" she cried Flodie sat

He gave her a quick surprised look,
and his face lighted with hope. It
was the first time their eyes had met

“ 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

"Pretending what?"
"Pretending that I didn't care " Flo

and walked away from him. Hall made
a leap for her. He caught hdr In his

“ 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
