wished to postpone the wedding,

with the possible exception of
chicken or bacon, appears ? After

"Of course not; I never entered Jot
tho thing nt all."
"Xo, jou didn't," Scott admitted.
Gone was the sweetness, tho confW
dence, of the other evening when Ituth
had realized tho possibilities In a
friendship with a woman like Bct,ty
Lambert. Mvery worth-while motive
that Ituth had had ns a result of tat
night was swallowed up In a relentlesi
thing that very much resembled Jeal-ousj-.
i .,
Unlit had been choking back Impend
ing tears, but now her hurt turned to
rage.
"Of course jou wouldn't tell me. but
I fcupposo she maneuvered' the whole
thing. .She's probably crazy about jou
and aiwajs has been."
Scott flushed nt tho suggestion.
"Betty Isn't that type." he defende4
angrily, "and if -ou weren't so angrj
that your feelings aro carrying j-oit
away with them you would hesitate be
fore making an accusation of that
kind."
"Because j'ou want to take her part?"
"Because It's unfair to her nnd to me
and Isn't worthy of you", returned Scott
qulcklj-. .
"I suppose you would bo perfectly
willing for mo to have luncheon engage
ments with men."
"If jou met any friend who asked
you to lunch I certainly should think
nothing of It." t
"I suppose j-ou aro anxious to tell ma
that so that In the future j'ou will bs
free to do as jou like."
Ituth hardly knew what she was say
Ing, and she certainly did not believe
that last remark, angrj- as she was.
Sho was slmplj- saying as manj- hard
things as she could; anvthlng In fact
that happened to enter her mind that
would hurt Scott.
"Haten't you nny trust In mo?" Scott
asked slowlj',
l'or answer Ituth hurst Into tears, but
this tlmo Seott made no effort to (julct
