But Kathy only smiled faintly, and' a llttlo throb of fear shot through 11111 jard's heart. She looked so frail; sometimes he felt nfrald to look forward to the future ot which ho spoke so confidently. CHAPTER X "When I remtmbtr omtthlnf which I hid Out which Is ton and I mutt do without. I lomatlmti wondir how I cn bi gild ." JIU walked away from the HUlyards' house with n strange feeling ot exulta tion in. her heart. Tallentyre was free! For the moment that thought filled her mind to the ex clusion of all else: for the moment she felt as if everything she had wished fof 111 the world had been given dock 10 her nt last. j ' Sho had not seen him for somo time, but she had heard ot him casually from Kathy, nnd she know from other friends how seldom he and Elrlca Hew ing were seen about together. Ot Course, it was all nonsense to say that he would have to lcnve Loudon. Heaps ot men whoso financial affairs were In a far worso state than his ma'naeed to set alonir nil rltrlit. Ralnli had been talking rubbish ; as If the fact of a broken engagement could make tuch a vital difference to his life. When she saw him nznln but here her' thoughts broke sharply ; it was so unlikely that sho ever would see him unless sho went out of her way to do so. Sho knew that he was deliberately avoiding her. and lately she had been thankful for it : but now everything was surely different. alio felt restless and excited; when she sot home she rnuld settle to nothing. Sho kept wondering how soon he would como to her If ho would come that night, or If ho would think to let a few days go by. Every time a bell rang she thought lt must bo ho but tho day slipped away, and the next came, but there was no word from Tallentyre. JIU recalled tho manner of their parting, and something seemed to tell her that he would never como to her unless she sent for him. Sho had looked in the naoers. but had seen no mention of the broken en gagement, and she began to torture her self anew. Supposing It were not truol Sup posing Ralph had been mistaken 1 Sup posing It had all been made up again! ano, could not rest. Sho stayed in the house a great deal, wandering about, hardly knowing how sho passed tho time. Twice Klgdcn rang her un on the phone, asking what was the matter, and why she was hiding. Jill answered him evasively ; sho was not well, she said she was not fit to sec any one. Ho called, but she refused to see him. On the third evening young Mcrredew came. He sent some roses up with his card, and begged her to see him It only for a minute. Jill frowned and smiled together. "Oh. well, ask htm to como up," sho said. Merrcdow was different from the rest. Sho liked him; he was so honest nnd unaffected. It pleased her that, when he came in. ho kissed tho hand she held to him; liis was genuine affection; sho liked to led that he cared for her. "I've been looking for you every where," ho snld, reproachfully. "The last time 1 saw jou was at the Dcspards , when you went oft wltuout to much as a good-by to me." Sho laughed. "That was Mr. Tallcntyre's fault; he whirled mo off I was not responsible." He was looking at her with wistful eyes. "You don't look well," he said, sud dcnly. "I heard you had not been well; that beast, Rlgden " he broko .off, coloring. "I'm sorry," he said, humbly, "but I hate the man." Sho shook her head. "You mustn't sny things like thnt; and he's a friend of mine." "I know ho Is," said Mcrredew with a growl. "I only wish he wasn't." He sat down beside her. "You've heard about Clg, of course?" he said, presently. Sho nodded. "Yes" there was a little pause. "You mean about hln broken engage ment? My brother-in-law told me, but I haven't seen anything about it In the papers." She realized suddenly that she had not been near Kathy since that night, although she had promised to go tho following day. Mcrredew was watching her with a sort of vague apprehension ; his voice was constrained as he unswered No. it hasn't been announced offi cially yet. I don't know why, though ; it's truo enough. Jig torn mo mmscii ; he seemed thankful to be out of it." Jill laughed shakily. "You mustn't bo bo outspoken," she told him. "You'll never bo popular If you say such things." He laughed. "1 know my tongue runs away with me, I'm always being told about lt. May I smoke?" "I'lense." Sho wutohcil while he lit a cigarette: sho was longing to nsk more about Tal lentyre, but the very longing sealed her lips. "Its rotten lueic on poor oiii Lig, isn't it?" he went on again, presently. "I shnll miss him frightfully ; enn't see why ho need go myself, but he's such a pig-headed chup you can't move him an Inch onco his mind is made up." JIU did not answer at once, then "Wbnt do you moon? Where is is he going?" she asked. "Didn't you know? I thought ho d be miro to have told you. He s going abroad ; it's nil fixed up and he's going quito soon. I've done my best to per suade him to wait a on aim lei minga blow over, but he won't listen. ou know" he added, lowering his voice n iitMf."T think there's more In it all thnn he'll admit, though I'm blessed If I know what It is, and J ins unt is It?" Ho' dropped his cigarette, and rushed over to where she was sitting. She was quito white nnd her hands were gripping the sides of tho couch n If In n (leRpcrutc effort to keep herself from foiling. . , ,,,,,,. , She tried to laugh at his frightened fnce0ho put up ono hand In weak pro test when ho would have touched her. "I'm all light really all right plenhe, It's just that the room was so Mcrredew made her He back ngnlnst the cushions; he opened tho window wldo nnd brought water and made her drink some. "You've had too many Into nights, you know, thnfn whnt'lt Is." he told tier, trying to sneak angrily. "Ion ought to go to bed at 8 0 clock for a month you're just wearing yourso'f Sho shook her head and tried to "I'm perfectly well; I'vo never been better it's just the heat. Don't look so frightened; haven't you ever seen any one nearly faint before?" "Nobody I cared a hang about," he onswered roughly.
