CHAPTER XXXIX
pHARLES EUSTACE. tall, lean
and elegant In his dinner
clothes, lounged s gainst the fire
place, in Sandra Lawrence's home.
MI asked yoa to come in," San
dra said softly, "because there
was something special I wanted
to talk about Sit down."
Tha 70 ang man shot her a
rapier glance oat of keen dark
yea, thea subsided Into a deep,
red chair. The airL affecting a
demurenesa and shyness foreign
to Tser, stared Into the flames.
"You're going to the party to
Bight, I suppose," Charles tcb
tured In the awkward silence,
0h, yea. That was It. Sandra
said. To Charles' puuled stare
she continued, "Someone told me
yoa vera angry at me and X did
ao want to ret things straightened
oat before we met when there
wero people present. So awk
ward her voice trailed off.
Charles grinned. "Angry at
yea? But that's absurd. Why
should I be?"
"I 4ont know!" Sandra gare
him a fleeting glance from under
long lashes. "It does sound
ailly, doesn't K, when we know
each other really so little. Only
well I fancied perhaps someone
had talked about me, prejudiced
yoa against me on account of
your friendship tor someone else."
This was arrant nonsense and
Charles said so. His agreeable
Tolce seemed to soften the blow.
"What, precisely, he inquired
amiably, "do yon mean?
Sandra laid her cards on the
table. "You do like Monica
O'Dare awfully, don't you?"
He stiffened. "Yes, I da Does
she come Into this?"
Sandra shrugged, a gesture she
had perfected. "A bit. You see.
she used to want Danny and he's
mine .
"Oh, yes?" Charlee seemed
faintly bored but any close ob-,
server would have noted the sud
den gleam In his eyes.
"He always has been, really."
said Sandra, warming to her topic.
A year or two ago he and Monnie
had a bit of a flirtation. He
didn't take it seriously but she
did. Poor girl, she hadn't much
experience with beaux and Dan is
such a lamb he didn't know she'd
misunderstand."
a
pHARLES stood op, not liking!
any of this. "I'm not at all!
sure she did." he Interrupted.!
"My Impression always has been
that the affair was a bo at fifty-l
fifty."
"Aren't yoo quaint?" trilled
Sandra, "It wasn't at alL I
know them both so 1 hare the
straight of If
"But what," demanded Charles
with some Impatience, "has all
this to do with me?" He looked
rather ostentatiously at the watch
he had been fingering for a mo
ment. "I thought I'd like you to know
how matters stood." the girl told
him glibly. "I didn't want you
to believe I'd done any poaching.
Someone told me you'd said
"I nerer talk about women,"
Eustace said, a note of ha rutin ess
coming into his to lee. "I leave
that to their own sex. You must
excuse me now. I'm overdue at
my uncle's,"
He was fuming as he took his
hat and coat from the maid at the
front door. The girl was a fool
There were no two ways about It.
What did she expect to gain by
talking about Monnie to him?
Was she really, as Kay believed,
such an enemy to Monnie that she
would deliberately try to under
mine her with Charles after hav
ing stolen Dan from under her
nose? Or was It a bit more com
plex was Sandra such an egoist
that she wished everyone, even
Charles Eustace who knew her so
casually, to think well of her?
However It was, she was a nasty
little cat and he sincerely disliked
her.
He walked off Into the autumn
night, frowning. Why hadn't he
told her exactly what he thoupht
of her, he asked himself. She
hated Monnie that much was
plain. How had she dared to
speak of her In that tone to him?
Charles scknowledged. with a
pang, that Monica's absence cost
him a great deal. He was missing
ner more man ne would have be
lieved possible a year ago. She j
was so sweet. That was It 10
everlastingly sweet and cloan and
desirable! She made all these
other girls with their poses and
affectations and meannesses look
drab and uninteresting.
Monnie he admitted it to him
self at last had come to be the
core and center of his life. He
loved her and she was (n lore
with another man. There was
nothing he could do about It. Un
consciously be groaned to himself.
Nothing be could do, he repeated,
except to stand by and be her
friend If she needed one. He
rather thought she would.
rpHE party of which Sandra had
spoken was a barn dnnre at the
atimmer place of the Bliss's, some
IS miles out on the river road.
The great studio barn was heaped,
(or the occasion, with sheaves and
decorated with pumpkins, corn
McELUOTT
stalks, russet leaves and gourds.
Charles, bored with the Idea of
assembling a special costume for
the affair, knotted a bandana over
his crackling shirt front and
lounged on the sidelines, watch
ing the merriment. Gorsldtna
Cardigan, looking rather prettier
than usual In a fresh blue ging
ham, whirled by in the arms of
one of the Payne boys and waved
to him. He saw Dan dancing
with Sandra mid looked away.
There was no doubt about It, the
girl was attractive in a feline sort
of way. Dan, he observed, waa
rather the worse for wear. He had
been stopping at the punch bowl
in the corner a bit too often and
hla step waa slightly unsteady.
Sandra seemed to bo in her ele
ment. She didn't, Charles thought
drink at all but she was gayer
than those who did. Her trilling
laughter sounded often. Her full
skirted frock of yellow stuff, bil
lowing about her, was the merest
burlesque of a milkmaid's cos
tume, A milkmaid from the Rue
De La Palx.
"Good lookln girl!" Charles
turned to find Lance Waterman,
one of bis cousins, at his elbow.
Charles grunted.
"Hear they're makin a go of
it." Lance indicated Dan who
was weaving in and out In the in
tricacies of the dance.
"I believe they are.
"Her father's been kelp in old
man Cardigan ever since the mar
ket took that dip," observed Lance
disappointedly and Charlea re
flected that It was a disadvantage
in many ways to live in a town
where every one else knew your
business. He had heard the gos
sip, too, and felt rather sorry for
Dan, even though he disliked him.
The fellow had charm of a sort.
He could quite understand what
Monnie saw in him. Dan waa
what most girls called "frightfully
handsome." Yes, there was
something about him. But what
a bounder to pass up a chance
at a girl like Monnie because be
wanted money. Or was he Judg
ing Dan unfairly. You could
never be sure. '
Charles waa bored, wanting to
go home, but too kind-hearted to
offend his hostess by so doing.
Everything palled on him nowa
days especially these parties
where there was a noisy band and
everyone shouting above It. Those
picnics with Monnie and her fam
ily last summer he had enjoyed
those. He had been really happy
then. Happier than he'd ever
been before.
a a
TIE could not have told when he
LJ' noticed something was In the
air, something quite obviously
apart from the party Itself. There
were whispers In little groups.
; Something electric Imparted Itself
to thf gathering. Charles was
: mildly puzzled and amused, too.
I The party was evidently turning
j Into a gosslp-fest.
It was very late and he was just
! about to make his departure when
' he found himself, without rhyme
j or reason, dancing with Dan's sis
tter. Geraldfne, usually cool end
distant, seemed fairly crackling
I with excitement.
I "Such doings! She was pre
. tending to be scandalized.
"What Is It all about?" Charles
asked lazily, without any real
Wurloslty.
j She giggled. "You aro a de
! tached person! Haven't you no
ticed who's among the missing?"
He looked about him. There
were some 30 or more at the
dance so It was not easy to tell at
a single glance. Besides he was
sure several guests had long since
withdrawn.
"Couldn't possibly guess," ho
told her. Then, after a moment,
"Oh, I don't see Sandra Lawrence
your brother."
' She smiled again, meaningly.
"I see nothing to get excited
about In that."
"Oh. don't you ?" Geraldlne
mimicked his bored tone exactly.
"I suppose you'd think an engage
ment wasn't news?"
Charles whistled softly. He
hadn't really thoupht it would
come so roon. "Interesting," he
drawled, "if true."
Geraldine tossed her head. "Of
course It's true." she said wltn
some heat. "He's my brother and
I think I ought to know."
