ta stand his ground, and outstay
all comers. In spite of Ifonnle's
acne pnsxlement and tb feeling
of excitement la the air she was
amused. She wanted desperately
ta laugh. Her mouth quirked at
the corners,
Kay came In with a tray on
which there were three glasses and
almost dropped them. "Why,
Charles!" she exclaimed, "Where
old Ton come from? Through the
window?"
He grinned at her, his old self

"I don't know. Just dldnt hear

They stood, chaffing each other,
and llsckeniie said In a low rolce
to Monnle. "I'd like to see you
alone. May ir
She was confused. "I dont know
how. Will you stay a bit and see?"
The party de-eloped Into a four

herself to keep down hysterical
laughter, suggested bridge and
Charles helped her set up the table.
"I really ought to be getting on."
said the older man, glancing st his
watch. He wss too well-bred to
show the measure and depth of bla
impatience but his eye sought lion
nie questloningly erer and again.
She wss at her wit's end. Charles,
forsaking his rather grim manner
of earlier in the evening, now be
came all urbanity. Chatting
smoothly with Mackenxla about
people they had known and places
abroad, he was his old, winning
self, exerting himself to please.
aaa
TN spite of this the tension grew.
The little room was electric
with It. As Mackenile's obvious
Impatience mounted the younger
man grew more suave, more def
erential. He called the older man

cold. What was wrong with her?

hooded In chromium, panted under
the street light. He could not
linger. He bad to be satisfied with
that. But his smile was confident.
He took her slim band. Huskily
he said, "You're the loveliest thing
ail a man could desire, I prom
ise you you wont regret IL"
For an Instant his lips brushed
oere, tne merest, fleeting contact.
"I'll telephone you from Chicago
on Thursday." he said. "Dont
bother to write and dont disap
point me."
Mrs. O'Oare came fluttering Into
the hall to make her farewells,
klackensle's manner with ber waa
perfect. Monica, closing the door
in the visitor's wake, could hear
the rise and tall of Charles' voice,
and Kay's ready laughter. Sud
denly she wss angry with Charles.
How dare he behave so badly?
That very day be had insulted ber
past bearing and then he had
turned up, bold as could be, to ruin
her evening. What did be mean
by such behavior?
"Aren't you going back ka,
lovey?" This from her mother.
"I think not. I'm tired. I'll go
straight to bed."

Imagined dust, "He seems very
nice."
Mr. Mackensle? Oh. he Is." But
there waa ao enthuslssm In her
tone. It wss perfunctory. This
night when she should be occupied
solely with plans for the future,
what she would do as the envied
Mrs. Arthur Maekensie she could
think only of the behavior of the
handsome young man in the neat,
shabby little parlor. She burned
with resentment. If It weren't for
Kay If It weren't for her mother
she would go In there this very
moment, make a scene and demand
of him what be meant by such out
rageous conduct. The Contessa dl

meant the former, of course.)
ne bad allowed himself to "crack
up" for the sake of some painted
hussy with a title! She wsa dis
gusted with him. Why hsd she
ever wanted him for her friend?
He wasn t worth It Oh, how angry
she wss! She wouldn't be able to
sleep, sbe was so furious. How
dared he?
Her mother had gone back Into
the dining room but still Monnle
lingered, dawdling on the stairs.
As If in answer to her thoughts.
i;nsries came out.
Ab, there you are. We were
wondering what had happened to
you.
With dignity she said, "I'm Just
going up.
"I see you were." She was ball

tribute. Monnle bit her Up and
once, catching Me eye, shook her
head ever so alii Stir In reproof.
The look he gais her was oae of
purest mischief. His Intention was
unmistakable.
"Whatever became of that beauti
ful young woman I met with you
at Cannes last March r Mackensle
inquired abruptly. In a pause dur
ing which he was dummy.
Charles, laying down his cards,
stared across at him. "Whom d'you
mean?"
With deliberation the other se
lected and lighted a clgarct from

"She was an American, I believe.
Yes, I'm sure of it. Married to an
old Roman title. The Contessa dl
something or other. Wonderful red
hair and black eyes. Devastating
combination."
Charles bad gone white. In-
stinctlveiy Monnle knew this was
the woman Dr. Waterman had re
ferred to the one who. directly or
Indirectly, bad been responsible for
Charles' breakdown. Did Mackenile
know? If so It was a direct chal
lenge. She held ber breath, wait
ing lor Charles' reply. That old
thing happened?'

Ton were terrible tonight!"
"ir With mock, humility he
seemed to examine his conduct.
"But I thought I was very well
behaved. Modest. Deferential"
"That's Just It You treated
Arthur as if he were an octogenarian."
Charles lifted his
"Arthur?"
Defiantly she smiled.
"Of course. What did you think?"
Suddenly Charles' casual manner
vanished. In a few strides he
cleared the space between them. He
was Just two steps below her. How
tall be was! It was silly of her to
be so excited, so trembly. That
was because she was so angry with
him.
"Monnle, you're not going to
marry that chap!" His face was
close to hers.
"What business Is It of yours?"
sbe flung at him.

"The Contessa dl Fraioli,"
Charles was saying coolly.
"Exquisite creature," sighed Mac
kensle, squinting through the
smoke. "Broke a number of
hearts, I understand."
"I believe so." Charles' voice
sounded merely bored. Monnle
dared not look at him, was pre
tending to be absorbed in the cards
she beld.
"Are we playing bridge or are
we?" Kay's Impudence brought
tbem all back, and the game went
on. The tension had not been
loosed but the wires on which all

strung, quivered a little.

JT was 10 o'clock. Now It was 11.
Charles Eustace, a gleam ol
diabolical amusement In his eyes,
coolly stayed on. At last Mackensle
rose.
"Monica, this baa been delight

She went with him to the door.

He was no longer the annoyed king
