AS Dagger clung to Jack's arm, watching tha group of their f i lends dwindle to nothingness down the diminishing perspective ot 'tbe. rails, tbe possibility of (all ure or unbapplncss la the future never occurred to lior.. And Joy still enwrapped tier when she descended to the plat form at New York. Jack's family? They were simply a new adventure to. be conquered, and she looked . up eagerly as be exclaimed: :.. : "'There they are!" . - ' - Mr. Vaneering she liked at once. He was a tall man, with stooped shoulders, and wore his grey bearC without affectation.

Out she didn't under estimate her mother-in-law. Mrs. Vaneering waa small and dainty. Sue bad oxouislto hands nnd feet, and lovely pink skin,' set off by soft, whlto hair. Her movomonts were languid, and her attitude was one of Indifforonce. "So this Is Alexandra?" she said. "You are very young." "I'm almost eighteen," answered Dagger. Kvoryone laughed, except Mrs. Vaneering. - "You work fast,!' said Kitty. "I'nV twenty-three, and 1 haven't thought ot getting married yet." ; "U Is not tho custom for girls to marry so youngin the Bast," re marked 1 hnr mother. 1 Hor gnio dwelt bleakly ilpon Dnggor's fen turns, slightly flushed in tho ov oltoment of " tho momont "Wo vera greatly surprised to hoar of JatVi innrrlngo." - "Well, It was a surprise, to mo," Dagger responded merrily. "We find It .a most dcllghtrul surpi'lse," Mr. Vaaoerlng said hesi tantly. "You nre very welcome, my doarf . .,!.. ' t ;.V.i; didn't tiink Jack had the 4ssle." Kitty said. "Anyhow he never showed It. before." ".Oh, look here, now, sis," Jack protested mock-seriously. But there was;, nothing mock-serious about Ilia mother's Icy comment: , . "I, am sure.

'"You belong to us, and I am looking forward to our closer ac quaintance. Aftir all, you nre my daughter as much as. Jack's wife, aren't you?" His smile wns heart warming, aud Dagger promptly illiraJssod the uneasiness she had derived from Mrs. Vaneering's re cenllon ot her. "Wq Vish to do overjllhlng we can, you know, to alone for your losing Jack so soon. It saoms very unfair to you." , ; "Oil. but I wouldn't havo him slay .home for anything," protested Dagger. !i "v, ' r,- .- "You want ..jour husband to go , jo Franco?"

"I'm Sire she will, Alexandra," Mr. Vaneering assured her but without conviction. "And whllo we are on the subject, perhaps you don't know that Jack's transport sails tomorrow night?" Dagger gasped. "We hadn't expected It would be so Boon." "1 thought you should know at once." he said regretfully. "Come, my dear, we'll llnd the car, and carry you home. You are tired, and you must have a chance to rest, for wo have had to ask a number of relatives and Intl-jiatos of the fam ily to dinner tonight to meet you. You see, Jack's time Is so short This Is the one opportunity of pre senting you as a coup:e." Dagger's head was In a whirl. Events bad come fast in the last few weeks. Presently they were crawling through the traffic ol Forty-thlriJ Street, and Dagger was made conscious, ot the city's over powering mass. She was relieved when the car halted In front ot a wldo brownstone house facing Cen tral Park; the rlsta of lawns and t"-)os pretended to at least a sem blance of independence of the sur rounding hulks of steel and stone. 'We are putting you In your old rooms. Jack," said his mother. "One ot the guest rooms has been thrown In with It 1 hope you and Alexandra will find it comfortable." Bewildered and more disposed to loneliness than she had been yet, Dagger followed Jack In silence through a door at tho end of the hall; but bewilderment and lonoll- ness faded when he took hor in his arms. 'It nil seems very new, doesn't It, honey 7" ho murmured in her ear. But remember, this is home to you Just as much as to me." "You aro going tomorrow night," she exclalniod, with a little catch In hor volco. ' "Well, wo'vo got tonight and to morrow, ho reassured her. "Kiss mo! Again! Again! Now, what d'you want to do first?" Kho dressed with precise care. Her brown hair was parted In the middle and knotted flatly behind her small, shapely hend. Her ivory- brown skin wns guiltless of rouge. Hor frock was beige, cut simply and not very low. ' VVhon Jack burst In upon her again ho caught her In his arms and hugged her until she begged for morcy. Ho was moro loving, more appreciative, than ha had evor boon, slio thought, walking downstairs and Into tho drawing room bosldo him. Ills prldo In hor went far to mltl- gato tlio strain of Introductions In a doton guests, all rolativcs or fam ily friends, whoso nnmcs were representative ot the best known elements In Now York society; linrd-fcaturcd women, beautifully gowned, off hand In manner; sleek, woll-groomcd men. One or two attempts to patronize her she squelched, quietly, and thon the men, discovering that she could talk , Intelligently and knew how to hnndle hersolt, combined to encourogo hor. The women, on tha contrary, couldn't qulto forgive hor youth and dlfferontncss. Kitty, alone, was bluntly friendly. 'I liko you, Allx," sho called across tho tnble. "There Isn't a woman hero who wouldn't talk her head oft It she had flown an aero plane." i Jack spoke: "It won't he long now hetoio womon will bo doing everything that men do from voting to cut ting tholr hair." This drow Bovcral quips from tho othor men. nnd likewise to cussed Kitty's attention on her brotbor. "I say. Jack", sho exclaimed, "you nron't drinking!" "On the wagon," he returned. "Promised Dagger." "Good work, AIlx," applauded Kitty. , , , . nut Mrs. Vnneorlng thrust back her chair. "If you will glvo mo your arm. Jack, we will leavo tho gentlemen to tholr coffeo." As Dagger rosa with tho othor women, she overheard her mother-in-law sny: "Whnt do you call your wife?" "Dagger. It's a nickname.
