CHAPTER XXVIII
CANDRA said. Tou'Te been
fully iwNt to me, Danny." Her
Tolca broke a little on the words.
She was leaning against the fire
place, the sweep of gray stoue be
hind her throwing Into high relief
the perfect contour of her boney
colored head. The flames from the
big logs threw shadows on tbe blue
Telret lounging pajamas she wore
and Dan thought. Quite idly, that
aha made a graceful picture. He
was In riding clothes, casual and
smartly western eren to the big
handkerchief knotted about bis
throat They were alone except
for the Chinese servants. His moth
er and the rest of the party bad
gone to see a picture show at Ben
ning, eight miles away.
"It'a all right." he said rather
awkwardly. "Glad to do anything I
could. Ton bad a rotten time of It
and yon'ra been a good little sol-,
dier." I
"Do you honestly think so, Danf i
Her eyes shone. This was the I
praise she wanted abore all else.
"01 course I do." Dan nflecMd
that It was something of an effort,
BappIytngT Sandra with the moral
conrage she needed. Only this morn
tng his mother had said to blm
flrmlj, Tou'Y, simply got to poor
confidence Into that poor nerrous
child, son. She's splendid but she
had a shock and It ts our duty to
see her through this bad time."
Erer since the kidnaping San
dra had been baring "bad head
aches" and "wretched nights." It
waa not, she said with a charming- j
ly patient smile, at all Ilka her to i
go to pieces this way. Tbe others
agreed and pointed out how brare
she had been through tbe dread
ful experience Itself. Now well.
Sandra needed Dan to lean on,
needed him at her side when they
rode. She seemed perfectly con
tent, perfectly happy when be was
murmuring In her ear. when they
at at table, side by side. -
"Tou're awfully good for me."
she would say softly with a side
wise glance at blm. Dan felt. In a
puzzled way, that he waa commit
ting himself to something without
knowing what It was all about
"Sure you didnt want to see that
picture?" he said now, hoping to
change the subject.
"No, honestly," Sandra said with
pretty eagerness. "I'm perfectly
content perfectly just to sit here !
and talk. Isn't It eoryT" I
... i
rAN agreed, atuffine hi. nin. ,
" and settling himself In tbe big i
leather chair opposite. !
"Just like." giggled the girl i
blue relret "just like old married
folk- She shrugged her shoulders ;
and murmured delicately. "Honest- 1
ly. Dsn. I don't know wbt s to:
Into me lately. I somehow I sem
to be changing. This time last
year I thought of nothing but tear
ing around. 1 was In Monte Carlo
In October having tbe most won
derful time. And now "
Dan prompted her. "And now
whatr
"Well, I seem to be perfectly
contented with the simplest sort of j
things. Books and good friends-"
Her limpid gray eyes besought blm
to understand,
Dan. sensing dangerous ground,
aid gruffly, "What about Monte
Carlo? Did you bare a good time
there? Father wouldn't take us
when we were over. Said It was a
gambling hell and he didn't want
us to go near It"
"Oh, Dan, how quaint!" Her
laugh rippled. "I can't Imagine "
She broke off suddenly to say
quickly that of course bis fatbor
was a dear so upright so charm
ing but Dan bad to admit he was
a bit old-fashioned.
"I'd love to show you the place,"
he said with enthusiasm. "Oh, the
times I bad on the Riviera last
autumn! It was all too marvelous.
There was a count who rushed me
frantically. Honestly, Danny. I al
most took him up. He was the best
looking thing! And there were two
Englishmen don't you adore th
British?" she broke off to Inquire.
"Can't say I do." said the man.
"Considering that my forebears
came from County Sllgo, I'm not
so crazy about them."
"Well, I do simply adore them.
Tou're rather like an English
country gentleman yourself, Dan.
Big and taciturn and handsome.'-
"Ob. cut It. won't you?" growled
Dan, pleased In spite of himself.
Sandra's light laugh rippled again.
"I never saw such a boy,' she
declared. "Just a great big bear.
That's what he Is!"
...
tAN grinned, reflecting It wasn't
so bad to have Sandra talk that
way to him when there was no one
lis around. Honestly she wss kind

Soem to have any moods waa al
ways bright and charming. As his
mother had said, Sandra had had
great many advantages. She could
chatter French In a way to excite
Dan's .nry and alarm since he
bad never mastered the college
course In the language. She Inti
mated that her German waa excel
lent also and that she managed to
make herself perfectly understood

bout that But It did seem that
Sandra did everything well. She

who married Sandra would ha? a
beautiful and accomplished wife
That was tbe way Dan at..l thought
t her as some other man's pros
pect ire wife. Never for an Instant
had be seriously considered her as
bis own.
She left his putses unstirred. All
her pretty ways, ber exquisite

I her performance quite impersonal

ahora he really loved.
"She's so darned sweet," Dan

him.
"What did you aay, Dan?"
"I uh I waa just thinking."
He tapped his pipe against the
hearth, pretending It needed clean
log. Sandra rave him a swift, ap
praising glance. Then she said In
a low voice, "There's something
1're been wanting to talk to yon
about."
The man raided bis eyes, watch
ful, guarded. "Shoot."
Sandra shrugged her shoulders.
"It's just that, well, I like so our
being friends that I hope a certain
person won't misunderstand."
"Who d'yon mean?"
CANDRA gave him a limpid look.
all girlish Ingenuousness. "Ton
big silly. I mean UonnJe, of
course."
Dan drawled, "Why should Mon
nle mind?" He had to be genuine
ly on his guard now lest ha give
the whole show away. Sandra was
not to know how ha felt about
Monnle. Nor anyon. else, for that
; matter.
. Sandra drew her small feet in
the gilt mules op under her.
"Well of course, she's alwsys
been simply mad about you. dear
boy, and you know It," she com
menced in that relishing, judicial
! tone which somehow Irked her lis-
i tener.
! "Rot!" he said crudely.
"Oh, I know there used to
something on your side, too! A boy

We're all had them, admitted
Sandra. "It passes and we wonder
why on earth" She paused and
Dan, staring moodily at the flames,
did not help her out
"Monnle's a wonderful girl," he
said gruffly, after a rather awk
ward pause,
"Don't I know Itt" Sandra was
all gentleness now. She seemed sat
isfied to hare made her point
"She's hard working and good and
quiet," said Sandra, damning ber
riral with toe faintest possible
praise. "But after all, Danny, you
and I know you're not the man for
her."
Dan. holding his temper la leash
with sn effort, asked why.
"Oh. 1 don't know." Sandra nar-

As the party broke up for tbe
night Mrs. Cardigan detained her
son In the bait
"My big boy's miking me very
happy these days." she said, ber
handsome, autocratic face creasing
itself Into a smile. And then she
struck dismay to Dan's heart by
adding, "And he's making someone
else very happy, too."
