you nre tho first woman he ban played
with and betrayed?" Orrry'R lip was
curved to n sneer. "A philanderer. A
man who surrounds himself with tar
lilihed reputations."
A dull glow came Into Allx's checks.
"I'bllandeiern are of many bleeds," she
snld. "Thnro are those who hnvn the wit
to philander with wonmn nnd those who
tan nnly ilsn to a whisky or a golf club.
Wliiitevpr else Alan may bo lip Is not n
time-server."
Once iiiouted Allx had taken up the
gmiiilct with no uncertain hand. Her
llrst wordn carried the war Into the tn
pinv's ciunp mill thoy weto barbed.
"What do you menu?" snld Oeiry dully.
He bad not anticipated n defense.
"I menu wbnt you might have deduced

be. That has died. Did ou think 1 wnn
going to make oii Into 11 man?"
Oerry stood, breathing bard, a great
despondency In bis heart. Allx went on
pitilessly. "Wbnt have you become? A
monumental time-server on the woild and

Allx hnd calmed down. Theie wns still
tlmo for Oerry to choke her to good ef
fect. The hour could yot bo his. Hut
he did not know It. Smarting under the
Insh of Allv's tongue ho made a dual
and disastrous fnlte step.
"You tiy to humiliate mo by plnclng

with bis new-born sneer. Allx appraised
It with calm ryrs and round it rather
attractive. "Well, let me tell you Hint
Alnn Is so smnll a man thnt if 1 diopped
out of tho world today he'd sail for
Arrlcn tomorrow and think for the lest
or his llfn of his escape rrom you ns a.

Allx sprang to her reet. Sho was trem
bling. Oerry felt a throb of exultation.
K was his turn to wound.
"Wbnt do you mean?" said Allx very
quietly, but it was Hie quiet of suppressed
passion at white heat.
"I mean thnt Alan Is the kind of man
who finds other men's wives nn economy.
Ho would take everything you have
that's worth taking, but not you."
Allx's eyes blazed at him from her
white face. "1'leas.o go nwny," she said.
Ho started to spea... "Plcaso go away,"
she repeated. Her lips were quivering
and her rnco twitched In a way that was
terrifying: to Gerry. He hurried out re
peating to himself over nnd over, "You
havo made Allx cry. You havo mado Allx
cry."
Allx toyed with the sliver on her dress
ing tablo i.ntll ho had gone, and then
sho swept across tho room t- her little
writing desk nnd wroto tho noto that
Alan had found hulf nn hour later In his
rooms. "
ciiAPTnn vn.
GCItrtY stood in the hnll outside Allx's
room for a moment hoping to hear a
sob. a cry, nnythlng for nn excuse to go
back. Instead ho heard, tho scratch of a
pen but ho was too troubled to deduce
anything from that. Ho went slowly
down the stairs nnd out Into tho street.
Tho biting winter air brnced him. Ho
started to walk rapidly. At the end of an
hour ho found himself standing on a dc
Rprted nlor. Ho took oft his lint and let
tho wind cool his hend. "I havo been a
brute," ho said to himself. "I lmvo mado
a woman cry, Allx!" He turned nnd
walked slowly hack to tho avenue and
Into his club but ho still relt uneasy. A
waiter brought n whisky nnd soda and
put It at his elbow. Oerry turned on
him. "Who told you to bring that?" Then
ho felt ashamed of his petulance, "it's
all light, George," ho said, moio genially
than ho hnd spoken for many n day,
"hut I don't want It. Take It away."
Ho sat for a long tlmo and at last
enmo to a resolution. Allx loved roses.
Ho would send her enough to bank her
room and ho would follow them home.
Ho went up tho avenuo to his florist's mid
stood outsldo trying to decldo whether It
should be ono mass of blood red or n color
scheme. Suddenly tho plato glass caught
a rellectlon nnd threw it In his face.
Oerry turned. A four-wheeler was pass
ing. Ho could not see tho occupant but
on top was n Inrge, familiar trunk marked
with n yellow girdle. On the trunk wns
n fnmlllar lnbel. He stared at it and tho
label stared back nt him and finally
danced before his mazed eyes as tho cab
dlsappcaicd Into tho traffic.
Gerry stood for a Ions while, stunned.
Ho saw a Indjr bow to him from a car
riage nnd afterwards ho rememboied that
he had not bowed buck. Somebody lan
Into him. He looked back at the (lowers
massed In tho window, remembered that
ho did not need them now, and iliew Blow
ly away. Two men hailed him from tho
other side of the street. Oerry hiaccd
himself. nodded to them and bailed a
nasslnir hansom. From the direction
Allx's cab had tuken ho knew the station
sho was bound for. As he arrived on tho
platform they wcro giving the last call for
the Montreal express. Ho caught sight
of Allx hurrying through the gates and
followed. As sho reached tho llrst Pull
man, somebody rapped on tho window of
tho drawing room. Gerry saw Alan's face
pressed ngnlnst tho pane. He watched
Allx stop, turn and climb tho steps of
the car and then he wheeled and hurried
from the station.
