Charming- res though, ingers * He did not meet her he said it, and his lean ter knife. It reminded her of the night in the library at home when he had made her his amazing proposition of a year of freedom from matrimony and had toy- ed ceaslessly with the bronze paper cutter. : She could still see the flash of the thin blade as he turned it over and over in his fingers. The knife---the scene-- stirred a chord in memory which had ot been touched since she went away- She felt a sudden and inexplicable nos- talgia for the dim, beautiful, old ib- rary with its rich furnishings, for the warm, soft air of spring stealing in through the opened casement from the side garden with its scented flowers. "Do you think I've improved very much?" she asked wistfully, clasping her slim hands on the table's edge. Oh, very much," he assured her y "I enjoyed your songs last night immensely." Despite the heartiness of his assur- ance, she felt hurt and disappointed. "Ah, the luncheon!" he looked up in apparent relief, as the waiter proffered a platter for his inspection, with a flourish. They ate mainly in silence, which Nan struggled to break by asking painstakingly about every acquaintance they had had in their married life. The fact that he had little recent news of them to tell her, assured her that he was not seeing very much of their old friends. Flora and her crowd were evidently occupying his time very thoroughly, she thought bitterly, "Shall you be here in town long?" she asked over the coffee. "Hard to say," he shook his head. "Business is likely to detain me for some while and then, on the other hand, T may leave at any time." In his own heart, he knew that with a crook of her finger Nan could keep him hére forever, but with a careless nod she also could dismiss him for- ever. Nan, however, interpreted his non- committal statement to mean complete indifference as to whether he saw her again or not. She rallied sufficiently to say gal lantly: "If you're here for a few days long- er and not too much 'engaged you must come to dine with me at my little ap- artment." "I should be delightéd," he bowed over the hand she extended when she left. declining his escort. : .. They separated at the restaurant door and neither had referred to the subjects that were burning into their hearts--Flora Hartley and Louis Bran- don. Brandon succeeded in making his peace with Nan, more because she was piqued at her husband, than becacse she cared to admit the former into her good graces again. n "You were insulting in the things you said to me before the crowd in your studio," she told him severely. "I "I'm sorry, really--beastly, abjectly sorry," he apologized humbly. "I'm Just a poor pup grovelling on the floor! at your feet." credible that | r e they had | | breakfasted and diged together every | day out of the 365.

"Louis, you're utterly spoiled! No- thing will ever make you grovel. No- thing will ever keep you down." i "You think I'm shallow?" he asked | with narrowed eyes. : "I think you're selfish," she answer. ed calmly, ! He flushed darkly. "Aren't you thoroughly and irrevo- | cably conceited?" He laughed atthat and the threaten. | ed temperamental rage was safely dis-! sipated. "Well, when you're through handing bouquets and their accompanying bric- kbats to me, you might tell me when | you're going to choose between me and this chap Larrabee," he suggested, lighting a cigarette and leaning back comfortably in one of Nan's easy chairs. She had refused to come to, | the studio for her lesson after last night's scene, and within half an hour, he was on her doorstep, importuning | her to allow him to enter. | It had amused and flattered her to find him so eager, so insistent after his variously displayed indifferences to! the girls she had met in his studio, es-| pecially to Mona Vail. Nan was not! catty by nature, but after Mona's part in two very disagreeable events through which she had been forced to! pass, she derived a grim satisfaction | | from the assurance that Mrs. Vail was | probably spending a bad half hour at the studio, waiting fdr Brandon's re- {turn and knowing that he was pas ing the intervening time with her rival. | Nan's response to Brandon's ques- | tion, was a long, thorough scrutiny of | him. | *"What's the idea?" he asked visibly fidgety. | "Are you trying to see how { I'd look as a husband? I'll tell you one thing: with all due modesty, I think I'd be a bit more decorative than | you friend Larrabee. He's old, my | | dear." | "And therefore probably depend- | able. Which you are not. Oh, Louis, if | Lonly knew what I,want!" Nan sighed [ "I'll show you," he sprang up and came 'toward her, but she motioned | him away. [ "No. I'm not like the girls you've | known before. I can't be kissed into | consent. I'll admit that when I'm with| | you, when I'm in the studio, talking | with the crowd, hearing interesting things, listening to lovely music, I | think life with you is just the thing I'm | seeking to give me perfect happiness. | But away from you and your environ-! ment, thinking of the old life, the sec- | urity, the peace, the inevitable ennui-- 1 IT don't know." | | Chin cupped in one palm, she stared! | despondently before her. | Brandon leaned against the edge of {a table, studying her through the, smoke of his cigarette. | "You've never told me about what | your life was before you came to take {lessons from me. It's easy to see | there's a story to you--an interesting one, I dare say. Has this fellow Lar-| rabee the leading role in it?" j | She made a negative gesture. ) "Why do you always question me' I've told you and I've promised you that it is noth- ing tolbe ashamed of. In fact, it's an association of which I am very proud." Brandon shrugged and extinguished his cigarette in the tray. | "Have it your own way? I can't for the life of me figure it out--especially with this Hartley girl in the center of it. She's one of the finest adventures- ses I ever saw." Nan lifted her head. "You think so--honestly?" she ask- ed sharply. ! "Judge for yourself," he replied with | a shrug. "If she don' shake him down | for a young fortune, it's because some- | *body's already cleaned the tree." { "Oh!" Nan's exélamation was bare- ly audible, but it spoke volumes. By the time Brandon had left, she had reached a decision." She would save her husband from Flora's machinations, at no matter what cost to her own pride. At least, in her own mind, she pain- stakingly termed her interest "pride." | (To be continued) | { | | Death of Mrs. Ira D.
