Harriet could lmnglno herself doing anything for a man who loved her enough, but to run after a man like Qharley Harmon, to love him In spite of the fact that he evidently preferred another woninn and to come to thnt woman nnd confess such a thing, was beyond Harriet's comprehension. Suddenly Lucy's voice broke. "Oh, I don't know, that's just It, I don't know thnt you can do anything, but it docs help to realize thai you don't love him." Harriet rose. Somehow she felt suddenly hostile toward this girl; she wanted to get nway, upstairs, away from her. "Then there's nothing else to be said, is there?" hc said coldly, nut as suddenly ns Lucy had been abject she became antagonistic. "Yes, there is more to be said. I warn you to leaie Charley Harmon nlone, and if he insist upon forcing his attentions on you ou must nvoid him. If you don't there'll bo trouble." Harriet's silence nnd ndmlrable self- control eiidently angered Lucy still more, for she went on, her voice slowly rising: "You think I enn't make trouble, don't you. hut I can, nnd I tell you ou'll be sorry if you keep on. Don't play "with fire, nnd keep out of this affair. Remember, I'm warning you." She had risen to her feet and In the dim light of the gas jet Harriet could see her small face dark with passion. It gave her a sudden warmth that she did not ordinarily possess: it made her almost attractive. Harriet could see now thnt in certain moods when she was aroused, Lucy might hnvc possi bilities, but her own attitude toward the girl was curiously abstract. She some how could not feel sympathy for the girl. Lucy succeeded in arousing a cer tain antipathy in Harriet that was sur prising. "It's hardly necessary to be melo dramatic about this matter, Miss Pratt." Harriet said coldly. "We're not characters In a play, and I doubt very much if Mr. nnrmon would ap preciate this conversation nnd the fact that you have warned me to have noth ing to do with him." Instantly Lucy's face reflected fear, that amounted to almost an uncanny terror. "You won't tell him. vou couldn't do that. Promise me you won't!" she said fcverlahlv. putting out a hand that was supplicating. Harriet drew away, she could not help herself. "Oh, no. I won't fell him. j ou needn't be afraid of that; we'll simply forget that this has happened. I'm sure when you have had a chance to think matters over you'll be sorry you decided to come here tonight." Lucy said nothing more, and Harriet walked to the door with her. Sho was eager for Lucy to go. She wanted to be nlone to think matters over, for surely tills was a strange state of nffalrs. On the way up to her room her mind re verted to her first day in the offices of Harmon & Graes. She remembered Lucy's hostile attitude, her unwilling ness to be friends. Was this due per hnps to the fact that Charlie was 'sus ceptible, e.isily attracted by a new face and n freh personality? What was there between Lucy and Charlie a flirtntion or was there something more behind it? Lucy's manner had implied tbe latter, and yet she had been terri fied lest Charley suspect her part in to night's happenings. Suddenly a new thought darted into Harriet's mind, the incident of the jade necklace. Had Charlie given that exquisite gift to Lucy Prntt, and if so wasn't tlicrn something more to tbis thnn a casual flirtation? (Tomorrow A Declaration of Lore.)
