placed them en the girl's shoulders.
"My dear," she said softly. "A
woman loves because she must, Aad

; Harknesa came back te town and
found a letter from Leis awaiting blm
inclosing a seat for the new edition of
the play in. which ahe had made such
a success. ,
He went te the theatre and took her
te tupper afterward.
"Where have you been, Jimmy?" ahe
asked. "I rang you up and they said
you were out of town."'
' "I went home." answered Harknesa.
"My father is 111."
Leis eved him aneenlitivelv "What
happened? Why have you come back?"
Harknesa ' fhrugged his shoulders.
"Oh, we had the usual dust-up. Snarl
ed at each ether like a couple of starved
curs, and I left in a car and a temper.
Same old thing. He's as unapproach
able as a famished tiger at the end of
a chain."
"Perhaps he is famished," suggested
Leis softly,
"What de you mean?" asked Hark
ness. "What has he ever had In life but
his business, Jimmy?"
"What has he ever asked for?" de
manded Harknesa, almost hotly.
Leis smiled at him. He could never
be angry with her, and she knew it.
"Seme men never ask for whst they
most desire, Jimmy. I think you
should be aware of that, if anybody
should. Has it ever struck you that
you are the son of your father? Yeu
must remember that I have met him
and can Judge him a little."
Harknesj fingered a knife handle. "I
hope I'm a bit mere cheerful than he
Is, ' he muttered. "He thinks of .'noth
ing but work."
"And you think of nothing but play,"
countered Leis. "Yeu think you wer
sent en earth te dance around and sing,
If the metaphor lsn,'t tee ridiculous.
You're aa dogmatic and narrow-minded
In your way as he is in his. Am I
being rude, Jimmy?"
"Yeu always were rude te me. Leis,"
said Harknesq. "By the way, I've get
something te tell you. Audrey Brent
called en me and slanged me fearfully
net mere than I deserved, in a way
nltheugh she made a bad mistake ever
one thing. After I'd left she called
again. My man told me she seemed
upset and worried, especially when she
heard I'd left Londen. He did net tell
her where I'd gene, and she did net
leave a message. What de you make
of that?"
Leis looked down at the table. She
wondered If she should tell him that
Audrey had neen her, and what she
had guessed from the interview. She
decided it would be best net te enlighten
him.
"I can't guest, Jimmy. Yeu should
be able te. better thnn I can. What is
jour opinion?"
Harknesa' fingers clenched hard en
the knife. "I hardly knew." he mut
tered. "When my man first told me
I had a half hope she might have come
te sec me, because she wanted te see
me.
"But. of course, that's absurd. I had
an idea she might have discovered some
of the things she accused me of were
wrens. J can't think verv clearlv
about it. I'm only clear en one point."
"What is that. Jimmy?" Leis sneke
quietly.
runt i love ner mere and mere.
Try as I will, I can't beat it down.
Leis you are a girl, and understand
these things better than I de. De you
think if I went te her and told her
the plain truth, told her what I am,
and the rest although, Ged knows, she
must be aware of it all by new de
you think she would have me back
again?"
L,eis looked into his eves. The vara.
estness in them was plain for her te
read, and, despite the pain his words
had given her, she felt a tremendous
pity for him.
"Jimmy.," She lsid her hand ever
his. "There Is something about Audrey
which I think you ought te knew be
fore this gees any further. It is some
thing of which she herself is unaware,
and which I only learnt by accident."
"What is It?1' The question wns
