He remembered having seen Htrkness at the Academy with Con stance Brent and Audrey. Alse, he rtaembcrcd the tales he had heard con cen etnilnc Harkness. Birkness looked up and saw them, A hardly perceptible falter showed in his walk, as though he had crushed an lmpnlfe te step. H(b eyes rested en Audrey's face 'for a moment, and there wit an unspoken question in the leek, then he lifted his hat and passed en. Preslew acknowledged the salute stiffly, and the (act waa net lest en Audrey despite the turmoil of her thoughts. She wondered at the hostility fit. Preslew was wondering also. He was trying te guess why the advent of this man whom he regarded as an "outsider" should have be disturbed Audrey's mental equilibrium. He de cided It might repay him te find out. , "Curious thing meeting that fellow Hitknesk," he said indifferently. "I thought he was out of Knglund. But" with a well -feigned hestltatien "of course, he was with you at the Academy, wnsn't he?" "Yes." Audrey answered almost listlessly. "De you knew him?" "I knew of him," answered Preslew. The answer reused Audrey te in4 tares:. "Why the distinction?" she asked. Preslew shrugged his shoulders. The erement conveyed mere than a little. Audrey felt vaguely uneasy. "Them Is nn nicl rn knew nnmnn kactuse you knew of hlra," Raid Pres ew. "In fact, in this case, the mere ete knows the less one feels inclined a knew." He laughed (.lightly. Audrey's uneasiness Increased. She was remembering that her mother had Mt liked Harknesa, and she began te wonder If her mother had known some thing of the man, had heard something which she hnd net communicated te wrielf. She felt n desperute anxiety te learn everything there was te learn. I m afrnid I knew very little nbeut Mm," she said, "but I thought him wrynlce." Preslew cjed her senrchlngly. Her "tempt te appear nt ease did net de Ml him. He lenlized thnt she was Meering under some tremendous emo tional incubus, which hnd been In creased by the sight of Harkness.

While Auurey waa wimin rresiew tneugnt nam. The recent converaatlen had wandered away from the wbject of Harkneaa by his contrivance, because be wanted te think the. matter ever.. He was convinced that Audrey cared for Harkneaa, aad he waa equally con vinced that it waa hla duty te dlaillu dlaillu slen her and endeavor te klj any aft fectieq ahe had for the man, Hia ego ism persuaded hlm that he wa doing thla purely for the geed of Andrey, and net because ,he wished te eliminate from the game ft man who might prove a serious rival te hla own matrimonial ambitions. Tiut .hew te de itt Hla knowledge of human nature warned nlra thnt any open attempts t6 vilify Harknesa would merely arouse resentment In Audrey and possibly mere than defeat their own object. It must be done aubtly cleverly waa the word Preslew used te himself. In the meantime it might be as well if he avoided the subject al together. Fettina lente waa alwaye a sound maxim te bear in mind in an nf falr of this description. Adrew harided in her wire and came ever te him. . "New for the park and the flowers," he sold. It is probable that Harkneaa' senses were stunned when he first saw Audrey with Preslew. He knew he had man aged te observe the usual formalities, but beyond that he waa hardly aware of what had happened, He waa in a desnerate and danceretia mood. Frem the time when he had driven hla great racing car away from Audrey's gate at Knockholt te the time of this meeting with her and Preslew no had net slept. Yet be was net tired. Instead he waa consumed with n restless energy. when be drove up te his garage en the afternoon which found Audrey at the Eres he was dirty and wild, but wideawake and incisive. The car waa coated with mud and filth, and her radiator was an but boiled dry. They seemed a correctly asserted pair a desperate, savage man and a rurastreus, savage machine. "Clean her I" he said curtly te the man. And went straight te his flat and dressed for the evening, Chance had led him te Bend street and the path of Audrey Brent. Audrew hnd allowed Preslew te monopolize her at the Academy. Why Harkneaa thought of that he did net knew, but It filled him with bitter re sentment. Danger - . He was torturing his soul; and 'site was dallying with this smooth-spoken, oily creature he could have broken with one hand. If she had loved him aa she had pro fessed, she would .have been nt home at mac moment Drcauing ner heart, as surely as he was breaking his. one naa net cared, it had been a snam. $ The thoughts flashed through Hark nesa brain as he strode en. The un reason of them did net atrlke him. Fer the nrst time In his life he was jealous, jealous as he was In most ethdr thlnn. strongly and fiercely; jealous of a girl he had deliberately given up and sworn never te see again. it was absurd, but just because It was absurd it was the mere dangerous, for it showed te what a condition of mind Harkness hnd been brought. He was ripe for anything, however reck less, and all the consequences in the world would weigh as nothing against any Impulse which might seize him. At Bruten street he united irresolute, half-minded te turn down te Seuth Audley street and go te the Eres Club. But there he could see Constance Brent, and then He decided lt might be safer for the moment net te go. A bus passed him, and en Its side waa the advertisement for the Arcadian play which had caused Audrey se much pain. VLeIbI" Harkness repeated the name te himself. He had made a confidante of Leis in this love affair of his, and he felt that there was consequently a tie of sympathy between them. (Alse she was a real geed pal. a girl te whom a fellow could talk plainly. And he wanted somebody te whom he could talk. He could net go en forever clamping down nil his misery nnd his thoughts. He found n telephone box, nnd, ring ing up the Arcadian, secured a box. CHAPTER XVI At the Arcadian Audrey enjoyed neither the flowers In Kegcnt's Park nor the very nice little dinner with Preslew afterward. The alght of Harkness hnd ruined the rest of the evening as far as she Was con cerned. Preslew was net certain aa te the cuuae of her comparative listlessncss. He could net imagine her being se tre mendously in love with Harkness that the mere sight of him should cause her he much depression, for the simple reason that he himself was Incapable, of such love unless the object of lt hnn- hiened te be his own. sleek person. The scats Preslew had secured at the Arcadian were in the circle. He saw several peeple he knew in the stalls and hoped profoundly that they would net recognize him. This outing must never corae te Lord Conning ten's cars. He was net certain thut his undo would approve of Audrey spending an evening in his company. The show was a geed one, filled with bright music and clever dialogue. But Audrey heard very little of it. Sliu hiiw only one perren in the whole play, and that was Leis Denbigh. The girl was beautiful. Audrey was forced te ndmit lt. Even allowing fur the effect of the lavish muke-ui) uud the dazzle of the lights, she was n splendid cieatiuc. And she was clever. Hiieli n girl could never be empty-headed. In experienced as Audrey was, she realized something 01 tne art wnicn J.eis ex hibited every time she cnme en te the stage. Her volce was clear and power ful, and her technique as faultless as hard study and geed masters could make it. The people who eaia that l.em Denbigh was going te be the sreatebt of all musical comedy stars weru net ven turing en uu unsnfe prophecy. Slowly, Audrey began te wonder If her judg ment had been at fault. Te the right of the auditorium a box was vacant. Hulf v,uy through the Hist uct Its prcsence was forced en Audrey's notice. A man lounged into it, and one glance at his lean, dark face made her catch her bicath. Jim Harknesa had come te watch LeIh Denbigh act. On hew many pre vious occnslens had he occupied that snme box? She had heard of men uhe went uisht after night te a theatie be cause they wished te nee ene action nepfnrin. Audrey watched Leis closely. The girl had glanced swiftly at the newcomer. Mere than once she turned toward the box as she spoke her Hues. Te Audrey lt seemed that all her smiles were for Harkness. Just befere the end of the act Audrey gnw'n unlfeuncd attendant In the box nnd HnrUncss writing benicthlng en the back of u visiting enrd. He handed the curd 'te the attendant and the man unlshed. , t, . Ah the curtain came down en the net nnd the lights went up for the Interval the nttendunt returned, Harkness fol lowed him from the box, CONTINUnDTOMOnnOW iCevi'luht, tiii, hu lli( M'Clure Xcwtpaper ',M j ir ' ' ---i in' ill "II ' i-- TIT '.'I ' ' gfl llllll llH II I I i !' iNtSWSSawaBSJBBWSSSSSMSjali Mll.tH.I.., 1,11,1111 Oil .
