Shirley decides to return to New York to see Cuyler In the hopes of Inheriting some of his fortune, She exacts a prom. fse from Stan not to see Margar- et during her absence. +» INSTALMENT XXII .. The next morning Shirley seized an opportunity for a word alone with Margaret. "We've had such a wonderful time bere, Miss Yorke, or Margaret, which do I eall you?" Shirley said appreciatively.. "I do want to thank you." They were in Shirley's room, and she was strapping and packing her bags busily. Margarer, standing in the doorway, felt the signiticance that lay under the friendly tone, and a hot wini seemed to touch Ser skin. I "Il wanted to tell you something (~--explain something to ycu, rath- or," Shirley went on, seting her aw ove~ a refractory strap. "It seems only fair. I wanted you to know that Stap-Mr. Crittenden and 1 bad 8 wonderful talk, yesterday oon. [ explained my position fully----explained that it is wiser rich with color, and the protective hand that she put about Jim's ittle shoulders was trembling, ". The engine roared; the car mov- ed. They left her, standing with her blue eyes fixed half-wiscfuily upon them as they whirled away. Constance, Willis and Shirley nn- ited in praising her. She was an exceptionally charming person. But when the Hyde-Browns were murmuring together on the front seat, Shirley snuggled confidential- ly close to Stan and told him that he mustn't flirt with Margaret while ghe was away, he must pleass b> good. "She's going away, too, she said 60," said Shirley. : "Not for long!" Stanley answer- ed uneasily, "She and the kid may go up to some hotel for the worst weather." "She speaks very confidently of staying with little Jimmie," Shiriey commented mildly. "Is it the Idea that she shall--permanently re- main with him?" "Oh, certainly!" Stanley assured her. Shirley sald nothing more at the time, but that evening, when they were talking together quite late, after a dinner, she returned to the subject, "Stan, it's Nora who really takes #are of the child," she sald. "woe, 1 know, But Margaref runs them both," Stanley offered patiently, "Yes, but, Stan -two of them for one small child! And the rent of hotel rooms, or wherever they go--isn't that pretty steep?" "My annt left the little fellow a handsome income, Rhirley." "Yes, of course. But you'll be putting your hand in your own pocket, at that rate," Shirley count eerd quickly. Stanley annoyed himself, grin- ned. and so annoyed her "He's extremely lucky to have a woman like that so devoted to him!" he said. "My dear, isn't that going o be a part of my job?" Shirley de- manded prettily, I wouldn't care, Stan," she added quickly, as he scowled. "I wouldn't care, If you hadn't admitted a sort of feeling for her! But she has heen flirting with you, you didn't deny it, and pow she assumes this passionate de- votion to Jim, which of course keeps her right under your eyes!" "I shall never separate them," | Stanley said Inflexibly. "I'm the | boy's guardian, and that sort of thing is under my control." "And you're under mine, but you don't know it!' Shirley said to her- self confidently. But aloud she said notWing, contenting herself merely with a wise and significant smile. She had his promise, after all; he and she were on a firmer one arm loosely about hig should- ers, and Stanely put his own arn around her slender waist, For a moment they remained go, Mar- garet resting lightly against him and not speaking, Stanley. on bis part, was afraid to move or to speak, this moment of weukness and of affection was sn exquisitely rare and precious.
