"Oh," she suggested, "enn't he?"
fatn, seeing his (lush, she was ashamed.
"Of course, in a hense, net," she
hurriedly nmended, drawing away her
kind, "but, among peeple thut havu

He had leaned back in his chair
and his face was masked nnd rather
ptle. He had fixed his eyes upon her
fn the through-gazing fashion thnt dis
tinguished them, and Mary felt that
all her motives and impulses were bit
terly exposed.
"Please go en with your lessens, Q,
he cried out an instant later.
"Juet a minute, imi'fim. Yeu Fitld
you,as betlierin' about money. If you
w8 a right sensible young woman, you

"Why net?" Mary naked blankly,

In the midst of his rending, the tele

it, turned te her pupil with one of her

He was white when he steed up nnd
Bored te the instrument like n sleep

ibeut the room In a dry -eyed misery

lad her life, nnd her love. When her
little father came, fifteen minutes lutcr,
he dropped his books hastily en th

THE GUMPS That's Beating Bm te It, Kid
By Sidney StnUh )
may beceme a Cleopatra nnd nny man
a Den Juan. The, old sex channels nra
worn be deep In "consciousness, deeper
than nny recent scrlbbllnga of religion,
morality, or .wisdom, it rcquirea only
n slight diversion te send the floods
running deep and free. Heloise had
nnd leisure nnd n wound; she was
dangerous. Ferdinand, was the mnle
counterpart of her condition. HB wns
Vulnerable nnd impatient, thwarted,
sufficient y uncertain nnd sufficiently
masterful. Hclolse'a daring Increased
hand In hand with her ulnrm. Be fur
she hnd kept her balance, but lately
it had been with increasing difficulty.
The artificial supremacy of girlhood
wna Imperiled, becnusc Ferdinand's im
perious passions, always his spoiled
children, were growing like the talons
of the baby tiger. When slm wus safely
out of sight, Ilelelse would laugh at
ner nerves, but no sooner did his sultry
blue eyes fall te devouring her again
than fear, excitement, weakness shook
Jier. After her failure te meet him nt
the club-house en the afternoon of Q's
del bcrntcly excited runaway. Ferdlnnnd
had lest no time in flinging himself
down before his stccrlng-wlicel nnd
eating up twclve miles of heated con
crete te demand from her an explana
tion. He hnd been in the geld reception-room
when Heloise hnd run up
stairs hnd just, in fact, been giving
n messnge te the footman; nnd, seeing
her hurry past the deer, he hnd begun
te fume, te pull at his tiny blend
mustnehes, nnd te prowl nbeut the
room like some lnrge, gruccful, nngry
animal. Helolse had taken time te ro re
nrrjuige her golden helmet.
She knew that he was down there
turning, and she began te be nervous.
olio nnd nrn.spntnrl fn 1,1m ........-
bctween the long geld curtains, when he
turned nt the sound of her coming, n
figure of such cool green hllmncsa und
snew-wulteness thnt n characteristic
(.uiupuincnt nna sprung past his anger
"Yeu leek like n mint julep, Lcle
hanged If you don't some heavenly
cool green fragrant drink in a tall
glass makes n inan'H threat tingle te
iuuk m your xnen, Having her
smile, he returned deliberately te his
waltine this afternoon ! Wasn't It four
o'clock thnt you said you'd be at the
chid it's half-past six new" He
turned a sullen eye te the geld-faced
clock below Sir Sidney Urinscoembc.
"I've been run away with in the
intcnal," sold Heloise, "by a wild and
woolly Westerner," nnd with that,
staggering Jier with its sudden fury,
bis temper had broken. He had stormed,
thick-voiced, pale-lipped, nbeut the
fragile room, be used te reticence; lie
bad damned Q; he had told her his
opinion of her methods. "Damn cruel,
teasing, hclflsh " Heloise, all white,
her narrowed eyes as green as her dress,
had pushed him nwny nt the end, her
two slim hnnds planted ngnint his
chest, which, under its silken shirt, had
scorched her palms se that, that night,
she tried te rub the memory away
ngninst her cool bedlinen. She did net
knew, she hnd told him, hew he hnd
dared te come se clebe te her, te touch
her
"I've touched ou before," he had
stammered ; "better take your hands off
me " And, plucking them from him,
he hnd crumpled them both painfully into
one of his, had put hisnrm close about
her, had held the hands te his mouth.
Heloise, for thn first time, hnd realized
a man's bodily strength. Fer a minute
she could net se much ns get brenth
into the scant space he had left her
in n het, misty, whirling world. She
had gasped "Aunt Selda !" nnd had
found herself free. Ferdlnnnd wns
moving hnckwnrd away from her; his
cjes looked bruised.
"Next time," he hed mumbled with
his In elent, clumsy lips. "I'll get some
Mitisfnctleu from you, you white
wit.'h!"
Heloise hnd sat weakly down In one
of the small gilded chairs. Her wrists
hnd felt emntled of bleed. It hnd been
terrible, and exciting, mere exciting
than Q's game with death. He was
wrong It might be niore healthful nnd
mere honest, but as n galloping in
centive te quick breath there was- no
potency in it te compnre with this
ether game. Aunt Selda hnd come in
.slewly: she hnd pns-ed Ferdinand, it
seemed, in the hnll.
"I hope jeu've sent thnt man nvn
for geed, Ilelelse." she hnd snld.
"Orncieus, no!" Ilelelse hnd lnughcl,
looking lompeiure from serene, dis
sembling eung ejes, "he is the delight
of my life, Aunt Selda. He'll be back
seen nnd I'll tench him his lessen. I
am getting te he n regular lien-tamer."
Aunt Selda had looked nt her, several
phrases en her tongue, but she restrained
it from pronouncement. Aunt Selda
understood her niece.
New, en the Friday afternoon, In the
garden under a striped canvas umbrella,
n wicker table between her and her
visitor, Heloise found tbqt she could
net command the shaking of her body.
Thnt morning, Ferdlnnnd hud an
nounced his coming for tea nnd had
"hung up." All dny, Heloise hud
alternated between self-nssurnncc and
cold fear. It wns her cold fear thnt
had sent the S. O. S. te Q and spoiled
his history Ici&en. Afterward, she hnd
wished she hadn't sent for him, bur.
net te the point of countermanding
orders. Ne, en the whole, she had
told herself, as she led Ferdinand along
n box-ledged path te the garden table,
she wns glnd that Q wus en his wny;
he would by new have left the hotel
