His pillow bad not been touched. But hotel housekeepers are school ed to surprises, She brought Row ena some hot strong tea with a little rum in it and gave her an aspirin tablet. "If you don't feel better pretty soon have your husband call me-- whewhen he comes in," she said. Rowena's smile was a little fore ed, "I will," she promised. At five o'clock she asked for her again, "I feel worse," she sald. But she did not want a doctor. "I'm just nervous," she explained. "Would-- would it be asking too muech--for you just to sit with me a few min- utes? I'm sure it's only excitement after the ball" The housekeeper sat down be side the bed. Rowena looked very young, very flushed, altogether adorable in her soft night things. In the dim light the housekeeper could not see how old they were, and worn, The housekeeper had her own opinion about men anyhow, and her face grew grimmer and grimmer.

She drifted lazily in Peter's arms. Everyone else did, too, it it comes to that, but no one of all those pre sent was so amazed and so bewild ered by her beauty as Peter him- self. Over and over again he had to remind himself that this radiant, exquisite creature, the eynosure of all eyes, whose sheer beauty fairly took away one's breath, was the very same crisp and curt Rowena who kept such a stubborn finger on the 'steering wheel of their 'trip. When dinner was over and he danced with her for the first time he was startled and stirred to dis gover that she was a feather in his arms; that her gleaming hair was fragrant as flowers; her skin velvet to his touch---and that she seemed to melt into the music like music itself, "Rowena," he whispered, "it's great isn't it?--Really, it's Just corking!" "It's gorgeous, Peter, it's glori- ous! And, oh, darling, think how they're going to feel in a couple of months when they read in the paper about the amnulment and know it was all a farce! Won't they go down--plop! --like a flat tire?" "I suppose 80," he assented sob erly. "Looking at it that way, it seems rather a low trick to play on them, They mean so well." "But it was Rackruff got us into it==it ian't our fault," she protested. They danced through the ball with a display of domestic devotion that was thoroughly convineing. At two o'clock when it was over they went, laughing, upstairs to the brida) suite and while he changed quickly from formal to street dress, she lounged in full display in the sitting-room before the chaperon: age of gn open door. J When he went in to say good night he: sat down on the arm of her big chair and cuddled her bright head, roughly, in his arm, "Why put me out, Rowena?" he began in a wheedlesome voice. "Af ter all, we are married, And 1 fahey we're going to have the devil's own time convincing any sane udge, that there was nothing to it ut the ceremony." "My judge will believe it." "It he does," said Peter moodily, "he's going to think what a dam. fool 1 am,~Anyhow, it's been a nice night and there's more of it. We've had a lot of fun and a little more wouldn't do us any harm," he ar gued persuasively, She laughed good-naturedly. "I've had all the fun I can stand for one night. Run along, darling, and be Jule Ply a Joceint that will con skeptics, When Peter had gone she sat on the edge of the bed and thought it all over, In a way, she decided, it was rather an awful thi dousty important for both of them --the trip had--the pictures and the stories. And the money--the money most of all! 'But it was too bad this sort of thing had to happen and to a sweet thing like Peter who ly rather deserved a better re he was so old-fashioned at rt.

"Poor child," she muttered, "a pretty Young thing like that.--Him out all night and them just married! -- Thank God I found men out ip time!" Rowena smiled comfortably to herself when the housekeeper had turned out the light and tiptoea softly trom the room, She had a witness to the virgimal privacy of her night in the bridal suite, Rowena was about half through breakfast the next morning when Peter came in, Re sat down oppo site her and the waitress almost ran up to get the order. But Peter sald he already breakfasted, would take only coffee, very hot, please. "She's entirely too good for him, the brute," said the waitress to tle pastry cook, "She never sald a word but 'Good morning.' Didn't even ask him where he'd been all night." Peter was a little self-conseious about it all and to the critical malds his constraint seemed that of a guilty conscience, Rowena was sweetly gentle, even friendly, "I only wish the hotel had given them a pear! necklace instead of that cocktail shaker," sald Mr. Meeker regretfully. "She'd get to wear the pearl necklace if he didn't pawn it, and it's plain to see who! use the cocktall shaker." Peter had the receipt for his night's lodging and Rowena folded it away triumphantly in the pocket of her portfolio, along with the other proofs of thelr complete seg: regation en route, he was full of enthusiasm, en tirely satisfled with their future rospects, as she was packing her ag before the witness of an open door, "It's a great little burg," she said warmly, "When I am a thorough old maid I shall buy me a dog or something and come and live here.

And I'll invite Mr, Meeker ta tea every Sunday and we'll discuss our past glories and remember-when." "It's pretty plain what they think of me in these parts," sald Peter regretfully. "It seems a dirty trick to play them--they were so kind about everything. "One good thing about it," en: couraged Rowena, "if for any rea son my judge should 'hit a snag in getting us annulled, wé won't need any other grounds after last night.
