Senestls and and Farmer ns you are new with me and Netta. Why, when I first met you, you were just as scared of me." , "That Isn't true," said Elizabeth, "and you knew it isn't. I was never scared of you, net even from the first minute. There wns something about you" She stepped, realising the hopelessness of her position. Hew could she explain herself te hlm, and what was there possible of explana tion? That she loved him, that was all. An explanation se simple and yet one which could never be made. "I suppose you're r ght," she said with trembling lips, "I never looked at it that way, but but I thought somehow you would come and see me sometimes or that that I could come ana see you ; newever, it you don't want te " "Whether I want te or net is be be slde the point," he said gently. "With Mme. Senestls you will meet people who te put it plainly will leek down en me. In the ordinary ceurse of events Farmer and I de net speak. The ether night was ai exception, because he wished te be introduced te you. Frem his point of view, he is right; he's a rich man and gets about in places where I should only be found if some one' wanted te learn a new two-step; it's no use, my dear," he added earnestly, as he saw the distress in hcr face, "if we live in the world we've get te accept the world ns it is, and you'll seen realize that I am right. Yeu must go with the tide; it's no use trying te swim against it if you want te be success ful. If I'd been a rich man, as I al ways imagined I should be, things might have been different, but then I should never have met you, se, after all, there are compensations, you sec," be submitted whimsically. Elizabeth did net smile; she sat with her hands clasped tightly in her lap, hcr cheeks very flushed, and hcr eyes dewnbent. When, quite suddenly, she raised them, there was u spark of fire in tueir grayncss. "And supposing I prefer te cheese my own friends?" she asked slowly. Roysten's face seemed te take color from hers; he could read her thoughts se well, understand se exactly, and though he might cnslly have taken ad vantage of her euth and Ignorance, there was nothing but the keenest desire in his heart te protect her from herself and make things as easy as possible for licr. "If it Is of me you arc se klnary thinking," he said gently, "there Is something else I must say which I would rather net have sold. Jt is just this, and I hope you will forgive me, and and net be offended. I am a married man, Miss Cenycrs, nnd you nrc hew old? Twenty-one? The world docs net leek very favorably upon friendships between a girl like you and a innn In my position." And in the silence thnt followed, Elzabcth wondered If he could hear the heuvy beating of her henrt be fore she said, almost in a whisper: "Netta Netta said it was only peo ple in the country who who were shocked at .things like that." "Netta talks a great deal of non sense." Roysten said In a had voice, but his eyes were wistful as they searched Elizabeth's flushed face, and umcrcsi envy nuca nis neart. She was se young nnd untried, with all hcr life before her. He set his teeth ns he looked back en the act of felly that had ruined his life. He had met Enid Sanger toward the end of a short leave from France; he had been lonely, and at a loose end, and she had pretended te care for him. Thev had drifted from n mild flirtation into a foolish, marriage, as many another ceuple had done dur ing the disastrous jeurs of the war, nnd In less than twenty-four hours, Roysten's eyes hnd been opened te his irretrievable felly. "Se It's Geed-by for a Little While" She had married Mm for the money which she had believed would come te him at bis father's death, and it bad net come! Roysten winced ns he thought of the vulgar nbufre nnd recriminations that had followed, and of the intoler able bondage which bound him hand and feet. With a strong effort he turned again te Elizabeth. "We're letting dinner spoil while we discuss the morals of the world," he suld drjly, und Elizabeth smiled faintly. She had failed In her desire te keep this man's friendship, she knew, and it seemed te mutter nothing at all if she fulled in evcrj thing else as well. She made a peer pretense of eat ing, und left her wine untouched. She wns glad when the meal was ended, und .et her heart was sick at the thought of the parting te come. She looked at Roysten with eyes that were heavy with unshed tears. He was crave and a llttln mile hitf he smiled when he met her glance. "I think we ought te be going," he said. "Yes." She began dragging en her gloves with nenelesi fingers. She felt as if she wns wulkliic in a dream when presently she followed hlm out into the sljeet. It was a cool, start v nlcht. nml there were net many neenlc about. "Shall we wulk or iind u taxi?" Rojsten asked. "I would rather walk." She tried bard te think of some thing te say with which te break the silence following, but hcr brain felt stupid and woolly. Roysten made one or two desultory attempts at conver sation, but he seemed te find it ns difficult as she did, and It was only when they were but a few steps from Mrs. Sllcum's that Elizabeth's misery found vent in one last appeal. "MV. Roysten, what's te become of me if I'm net a success after all?" She would have given half hcr life te have heard hlm answer unhesitat ingly: "Why, ou will come back te me, of course!" But he only suld, in an obstinate veice: "Yeu will net fail." She gave it up then, nnd neither of them spoke uguln till they reached the beuse. All Its windows wcie in darkness, and the street was deserted: they might hnve been alone in the world, Elxubeth thought, und wondered In despair hew she was te get through the uext few minutes. And jet they rnme and went se quickly, almost without emotion. Roy Roy seon held out his hand. "Se it's geed-by for a little while," he said, and Elizabeth said "Yes." und laid her trembling fingers in his. And ence agalu the wonder went through her mind that theie should be such a dlffciciu'n in handclasps, that this man's temh should mean mere te her than nnthlng In the world, anil for a moment hcr fingers clung te his In n peer little frightened way, and Kemethlii? seemed te catch Roy Roy seon by the threat, no thnt he could net speak, and It was Elizabeth who presently said, "G'oed-by," and turned away, a, r OOjmNUBD iWUQBSQW i JlijffiflMyrif ft -fii' !
