The Dawn butler bad told him Santa' was out, and be had suspect ed a white He. This time, liowover. he thought he divined her motive. Preliminary speech would spoil tha high ecstasy of their Impending drama. Like all lovers, Cllve was hastening to an ambush. Aftor an hour's drive through lovely summer country defaced by advertisements and hot-dog stands, he came to a village that was truly rural. At Its far end In greon oasis ot shaven lawns grew up a oool white house. Immaculate as a "Cllve, dear, I'm engaged," eald Santa. yaeht at anchor, partly screened from public gaze by flowering shrubs and rose-covered pergolas.

At this point hla romantlo Imag inings received a box on the ears; her voice floated to him' through the, brooding stillness, addressing someone as "Dicky, darling." The -box on the "ears was quickly fol lowed by a blow between the eyes: the vision of her Insolently cool sprang figure as she kept a persplr ivM opponent on the run by her eerefully placed shots. ; I "But, Dicky, darling you ought to have got that one; I made It spe .

This iDIoky person was a new one a striking contrast to the college oys who had constituted her pre vious captures. He was aristocratic , solf-assurod. He bore a faint re semblance to Albert, King ot the Belgians blond, woll sot up, blue ered, tresh-complexloned, -10-odd. Be was obviously a good sport, for fee was making a jest ot bis own clumsiness. "You must come riding with me. I'm a wliard on horseback," "So much to learn about each other," ahe jhajed him. Cllve concealed fc!s chagrin by snouting Santa's balls. Meanwhile she lapsed Into French, wlil-h th. Cllve concealed fc!s chagrin by man across the net snnVa ith eual fluency. As far as Cllve was concornod. most of what thv ih was lost. Suddenly, with premeditated abruptness she flung down her racket. "Gather up the balls, Dicky, and carry them to tha house.

The so lemnity of the moment. "And I can't live wlthont yen." "But, darling," aha protested, stroking his hand. "Except for our last parting you've always bees most comfortable," Their Angers Intertwined. Hers twitched and fluttered. Unsur prised and smiling, she came to him without a atruggle. He atooped, drinking In her eyes. The white lids fell like shutter. Her Hps pouted. "Noset da get In the way." Her bubbling laugh recalled him. "Feel better now, don't yon 7" He felt exultant. "I saw at once what was the matter with you," ahe continued. "You've sot kissed a girl tor ages. Now let's be sensible. Why do yon think I sent Zor you?"

Wouldn't you rather iee her single forever than the wife of a man nearly old enough to be her father?" "Don't exaggerate, Cllvs. He's only fourteen years older than I am." "Only!
