The next day Jimmy learns Mary's companion was Samuel Church, a weajthy lawyer. Mary refuses to speak to Jimmy and later in the day he is dis- Chapter XXI. Jimmy quickened his step, gal- yanized into suddén action by the sight of her. 4 "Mary," he said softly, looking down at her . He felt strangely stirred; the blood raced madly through his veins. She turned quickly, startled at the sound of His voice. The red mounted switly to her cheeks, almost as it he had surprised her in the act ot thinking about him. "Good morning, Mr. Rand." She took his outstretched hand. "go I'm just Mr. Rand to you, am 11" he said. He laughed mirthlessly. "You forget quickly, don't you?" She made a pretense of studying her glove and didn't answer. "It was not so long ago," he went on, "that it was Jimmy. No, it was Jim, Hverybody elie calls me Jimmy, but you said you wanted to call me Jim. What was it you sald --that Jimmy seemed so diminu- tive?" "Don't." She. put up a protesting hand. "You have no right to remind me of that." He made as if to sit down on the bench and she moved over to give him room beside her. "It is you," he said, no right to tredt me as treated mo. Mary," he went on, gazing earnestly at her, "you hurt me. You hurt me cruelly." "that have you have "And what about me? It probably | never occurred to you that 1 might have been hurt, too," He leansd toward her eagerly. "You mean," he asked, "you mean you cared?" She fingered her glove nervously, not daring to waise her eyes. "I didn't say that. You may put any interpretation on it you wish. I'll only tell you that you disap- pointed ma. Wait a minute." She checked him with a wave of 'the hand as he was about to speak. "Let me just say what I want to say and then I'll go. I shouldn't say it, but I want to--I can't help (it, even though I had made up my mind never to speak to you again. "You--you destroyed something bésutitul for me, Mr. Rand." He winched at her mention of his name. "Perhaps I'm talking like a To- mantic young school girl, but I keep remembering the way we met. It was romantic--your saving me from be- {ng annoyed by those men, and fight- ing for me." 4 "] remember," he murmured. "You calléd me Sir Launcelot, and you were Elaine." "You seemed so clean and man: "ly," she went on, "and then you had to spoil it. You were not so ditfer- ent from other men, after all." "gpoll it? What do you mean?" "It's not necessary to ask, is it?" "Mary," he #ald, "you judged me without & tial. You didn't give me a chance to explain." "What was there to--" "I know - what you're going to say," he went on hurriedly. "That there was nothing to explain. Now thought of anything else. You were so fresh and heautiful--so differ- ent from amy other girl I'd ever Known. You seemed that way right from the start, the time I first saw you sitting t! in the church.

I shouldn't bave said that. 'Ive burt you. "What does it matter?" she aid wearily. "I'm getting used to it." "Mary, I've been a fool. It's this temper of mine. It makes me say things 1 don't want to say." "You .said," she put™n, "that you wanted a chance to edplain. "I've given it to you and you still haven't told me anything I don't already know.

"Who could have informed yon, and what?" = "What you called a faint was de- scribed to me as intoxication." "And you believed that?" he ask- ed, hot anger mounting into his voice. "Who told you that?" She answered coldly. "Isn't it sufficient that I believed it?" He let bis hands dangle limply over his knees -and stared unseeing- ly at the ground. "Yes he said.

"Oh, pleases stop, Jim. You're only making matters worse". She put her hand en his sleeve, plead- ing. "Who is this man Church, any- way?" he persisted. She turned to face him squarely, the look of pain again in her eyes. (LIER RANE) she sald softly. It stunned him. "God, no!" he said after a long silence. She had turned away, was crying.
