, Do you know." Tnllenlyre said sud
ornty, "I don't think I should snv nnv

ibout Ilillyard I menn!"
Jill s eyes opened wide.
..w0t,T7.70t ",ay nnythlng! Oh. why?"
m1: ,I.I!"va.",, wishes 1-cr to know he
will tell her himself. He evidently has
some good reason for keeping her In
Ignorance."
"Oh. but mi rely " Jill broke out
disappointedly. "Surely it can't mat
ter, she II have to know some dnv?"
i tiiinic Ulllyard would prefer that
she did not hear it from you."
He looked nt her with n faintly whim
sical smile.
"Why can a woman never keep n
ecret? " ho asked.
"I can " Jill nnsuered indig
nnntly. "Of course I can."
"Very well then jou will not tell
her.."
She looked nt him dubiously; her
eyes fell.
"Very well if you don't wish it,"
she nnswered reluctantly.
There was n little silence; the girl
with the highly coiffurcd bend sitting
opposite roe from her clinlr; she
glanced ncross nt Jill nnd Tallentyrc;
suddenly she smiled' and nodded.
Tnllcntyre bowed gravely, nnd Jill
caught her brenth with a sort of gasp;
she was red nnd embarrassed.
"Oh, I am so sorry I didn't
know you knew her," she said aghast,
when the girl and her escort had gone.
"Why didn't .ou tell me? I might
have said something dreadful about
her "
"It would not have mattered; she is
not n particular friend of mine "
Tallentyre called to the waitress.
Jill began to put on her gloves; she
stifled a little sigh as she thought of
Acacln terrace and the ugly room.
"I suppose you know nearly every
body in London," she submitted diffi
dently, after a moment.
Tallcntyre's lazy eyes twinkled behind
his monocle.
"Very nenrly," he answered gravely.
Jill clasped her hands In her lap; she
had forgotten the obtrusive bole.
"Oh, I wish I did!" she said wist-
uiiiy.
He looked at her indulgently. "Lou
don's a big place, you know " he
said, "but perhaps jou will some day
when Prince Charming comes along."
Hho shook her head.
"He'll be poor if he ever docs
come."
"Aud you would like him to be rich?"
"Oh, I should " She raised
her eyes to his face. "I'm not like
Kathy. Kathy says that she would
rather live in one room with a man she
loved than live in Buckingham Palace
with n millionaire she didn't care
about."
He laughed outright.
"And you don't agree with her, evi
dently!" She half shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know at least
jaw sec I've never been in love."
"Neither have T."
"Henlly!" She found that hard to
belle e.
"Itenllj and truly." he nsuicd her,
"which is ii most fmtmintc thing, yee
iug thnt my eventual choice will l.irgelv
be inllucneed by the size of the lady's
rnnkliK account."
It wns impo'.sib'e to tell whether he
were speakin; seriously ; ufter n per
pb'xed moment Jill divided that lit wns
not ; shf laughed.
"You don't menn tbat, of course."
"I do. Heose tu his feet; he
nicked up his coat and th" toft Hnm-
burg lint. "I think if you are quite
icndv, we had better he soing.
Jill scinmb'ed to her feet ; she sup
posed sh ought to hnve made the first
move; she walked beside him silently.
It was inin!ii2 when they reached
the street; Tnllcntyre hal'ed a tnI.
"ion must let me due jou home.
Jill opened her lip to refuse, but
shut them ugnln. Until that day Khe
hnd only been in a tnxi nnre iu her lUe
nnd that had been when Mr. Sturgeon
had sent her on nn urjent message
fmn tho office but she could still re
call the Jelishtful importance of the
occasion; still icmeinher how she hnd
leaned back iu a corner, nnd tried to
feel as If she wore accustomed to riding
about in taxis overy day of the week.
Tnllcntvrc stood with one foot on the
step of tho cab, looking nt her inniilr-
Inglv.
"Wlwre shall I tell him tu di he?"
The hot color rushed to Jill's face:
the did not knew thnt she clnsped her
hands agitatedly as ihe answered:
"If you would just say the corner of
fiiay'H Inn road ; the- tr'ams stop there- -I
can got a tram home." She wondicd
what he would think nf the locality iu
which she lived; her ejes searched his
face In nn npon.v of doubt.
"Stop nt tho corner of Orej's Inn
rond," ho snld briefly; he got in beside
her.
"I don't think you realise whnt a verv
nleasant afternoon you have given me,"
Tnllentjro bald presently. Ills voice
was quite srnva; his eyes looked seri
ous enough when she rnised Iit own to
them in sudden disbelief.
Bho wns so sure that he could not be
sneaking seriously. "I I've enjnjed
It, too,' she said stammering. "I
I thank you ever so much for taking
me."
