HOW CO OH WITH T1IK STORY
CHAPTER XLVIl
rjpHET stood there, fUmlng At
ueh other. The man. tall and
lean and straight, bit eye dark
ened with something Terr like
fury. The girl, smAll. golden. In
a dress of some thin soft stuff,
her head thrown back, defying
him.
Kay, coming to the door et ike
Urlng room, stared for a moment.
Then comprehension dawned In
her eyes and. nnseen by both com
batants, she slipped away.
"What business is It 'of yonrs
whom I marry t" Monnie O'Dare
repeated defiantly.
Charles Eustace, two steps be
low her on the narrow flight of
stairs, smiled Ironically. She was
so lOTely In her anger. He did
not answer and this enraged
Monnie further.
"It's none of your affair 1" the
tared hotly. "Ton don't ear
whAt happens to me, anyhow.
Ton never did."
"Ah, don't I?" Charles' Irony
was marked now. Folding his
arms and leaning against
the :
balustrade, he considered this.
"What makes you think that?"
Monnie was trembling with
anger and excitement. ' She did
not even bother to answer bis
question.
"Treating me as you hare the
past few weeks." she pursued,
following some grievance of her
own. "Coming to the office today
and speaking to me so so "
ber rolce broke indignantly on the.
words but she found It again
after a moment.
"Then to come here tonight
to behave so badly showing all
of us lust what a frightful opin
ion you have of me!"
aaa
pHARLES Interrupted this tl
rade to ask coolly, "What
makes you think I bare a bad
opinion of you?"
"You used to be my friend."
Monnie rushed on, quite as If he
had not spoken. "You used to be
so well, really wonderful. Last
summer last spring."
"Ah, yes. But that waa then,"
the young man reminded her
cryptically.
"I wasn't any different," Mon
nie reproached him. "I was the
same. What's changed you?"
Charles shook his head, almost
sadly.
"You've not changed? And yet
you're going to marry this fel
low." "He's fine and honorable and
good," Monnie defended ber ab
sent suitor. "He'll take care of
me as I want to be taken care
of. Anyhow, it can't possibly
concern you. You and your
your Contessa!"
Sh fairly flung the title at him.
Charles, whitening under the at
tack, could not help smiling.
"My Contessa? I don't know
what you're talking about."
"Oh, don't you? Didn't you
fight a duel for her lapt year,
didn't she break your hf:art?"
There, she didn't care bow she
hurt blm. She wanted to. He
deserved It!
In an Instant Charles' strong
Angers were gripping her arms.
He was looking down at her with
an expression of amusement and
Impatience.
"You little fool." he said In a
caressing voice which took the
sting from the words. "You
darling little fool."
Suddenly Monnie was limp in
his arms, was sobbing against bis
shoulder. Tenderly Charles lifted
her streaming face.
"I'm sorry. You know I didn't
mean that." He waa no longer
arrogant but strangely bumble
"You know how I feel about yon.
Monica O'Dire."
a a
COMEHOW, Monnie never knew
exactly how although later
sh tried hard to remember, they
wer sitting aid by side on the
shabbily carpeted stairs. Charles'
big handkerchief, smelling of to
bacco and a faint whiff of co
logne, was In her hands.
" 'My Contessa,' at yon call
her," the young man wat saying
very gently, "was a beautiful and
very heartless young woman who
led me a pace for a time. 1 didn't
'crack up' ever her. I was a
1
wreck to Begin wun and finding
out what a shell ah waa Just
put the crowning touch on me."
"Tou were in love with her
then," Monnie accused, feeling
weak aa water at the thought.
"I was well, fascinated," ex
plained Charles, patiently. "I
waa 111 not Quite bright In the
head, I Imagine. When 1 found
out what ah wss really like
using ma as a stalking horse for
her own purposes 1 went a little
gaga. I cam back home, hating
life, hating everybody. Then "
She prompted him, "Ye,
then?"
"I met you," Charles told her.
"Tou know this you must know
It. Monnie. I've been In love
with you from the start."
Did aha know 1L At any rat
It was sweet to hear him say the
words. They were what her heart
had been hungering for. In all
the world there seemed to be
only this tall young man with the
fine head and the purposeful
voice.
"I knew where I stood with
you," Charles went on. "I knew
how you felt about him."
' Monnie ahtrered. Had she, In
deed, forgotten Dan already No,
this waa something quite differ
ent from what ah had felt for
Daa Cardigan. All that old lore
and longing had been mixed stp,
somehow, with her thwarted and
poverty-stricken girlhood. Hadnt
then been. In all of It, some de
sir to "show" Belvedere? Had
she wanted Dan for what h stood
for? No no sh told herself
passionately. It wasn't that- Sh
had really loved him. with a girl's
love. She had set her heart on
him. They hadn't loen In the
least suited to eaCu other. Their
marriage would have been a dis
aster. But opposition had made
their Infatuation only stronger.
With her new, sharply matured
viewpoint she saw all this.
Something of"all this she tried
to tell her lover, haltingly.
"It's not that I've forgotten
Dan," she said loyally. "I never
shall. He belongs to my youth "
a a a
pHARLES. wanting to laugh at
-her young solemnity In this,
took her two small bands In his
own and said gravely:
"I never dared before to ask
yon If I had a chance,- because of
Dan. When he was alive I felt
you were wholly his. And after
h died. well. then. I was afraid
I you had dedicated yourself to his
I memory. You were almost like
a nun. remote, spiritual. It was
only after I discovered this Uac-
kenxie chap was In the running
again that I decided I might have
a chance. But you- were so stiff
t so unapproachable "
j She drew herself up at this.
pretending to be angry.
"It was you who were stiff.
And all that talk of the girls you
went about with, the parties "
Charles laughed In delight
"Jealous little cat!"
"I'm not!"
After an Interval of murmur
ing, Monnie straightened, saying
In a scandalized tone: "Do you
realize what time It must be?
Mother will think we're quite
mad."
He belped her to her feet and
sbe swayed against him.
"What am I going to say to
Arthur when he calls?" she
wailed, perplexed. "Oh, Charles.
I was going to be so cool, so wise!
I waa going to do wonderful
things for the family with
Arthur's money. Why can't I be
like that? My heart always runs
away with my head."
"Don't worry about that" His
tone was so odd that sh twisted
about to stare at him.
"What do you mean?"
"My dear," dmanded Charles,
striking an attitude. "Don't you
realize you're marrying a bloom
ing capitalist?"
"You're Joking." She really
thought he was. He was a young
man of taste and elegance, of
course, but no money. Not much,
that Is. Or so sh had always
thought
"Wait and see," ha told her
mysteriously. "Perhaps I'm not
the beggar boy you thought"
And then tbey forgot all about
such mundane matters. For the
moment, at least.
