CHAPTER IX (Continued)
Betty had been making tea for Annt
Selina and of course when she beard
We up there she followed tray and all
and we drank Aunt Selina'a tea and
had the first really nice time of the
day ‘Bella had come up too but she
was still standoffish anl queer and
abe stood leaning against a chimney
and staring out over the river After
a little Mr Harblson put Sown his cup
and went over to her and they talked
aulte confidentially for a long time I
thought It bad taste In Bella under
the circumstances after snubbing Dal-
las and Max and of course treating
Jim like tbe dirt under ber feet to
turn rigbt around and be lovely to
Mr Harblson It was hard for Jim
Max came and eat beside me and
Flannlgan who bad been sent down
for more cups passed tea puttlcg the
tray on top of tbe chimney Jim was
Sitting grumpily on the roof with bis
feet folded under him playing Canfield
In the shadow of the parapet buying
the deck out of one pocket and putting
his winnings In the other He waa
watching Bella too anl she knew It
through my tears and an early search-
ed she strained a point to captivate l'gjit sent Ita shaft like a tangible
Mr Harblson Any one could see that ! thing In the darkness Just over my
And that was the rlrtnre that came '
out In the next morning's papers tea-
wops cards and all For when some
one looked up there were four news-
paper photographers on the roof of the
next house and they had the Imperil-
ence to thank us!
Flannlgan ' had seen Bella by that
time but as he still didn't understand
the situation things were just the
stnt But bis manner to me puzziei
me whenever be came near me be
Winked prodigiously and during all
the search he kept one eye on me
and seemed to be amused about some-
thing When tbe rest bad gone down to
dress for dinner which was being sent
in thank goodness I still sat on the
parapet and watched tbe darkening
river I felt terribly lonely all at
once and sad There wasn’t any one
any nearer than father In the West
or mother in Bermuda who really
eared a rap whether 1 sat on that par-
apet all night or not or who would
he sorry If 1 leaped to the dirty bricks
of tbs next door-yard — not that 1
meant to of course
Tbe lights cams out across the
river and mad purple and yellow
treaks on tbe water and on of tbe
mot r -boats cam panting back to tb
yacht club coughing and gasping as If
jt had overdone Down on tb street
automobiles wr starting and stop-
ping cabs rolling doors clamming all
th maddening delightful bustle of
popl who ar foot-fre to dine out
to dance to go to the theater to do
any of tbe thousand possibilities of e

“You'd better keep It warm Flan-

I'm coming” But ho did not go
If— If you’ll excuse - me - miss” ha
said “don't you think ye’d better tall

Tall than whstt”'-'
“The whole thing— the joke he
said confUentially coming closer
“It's been great sport now hasn't it?

soon and— eome of them might not be

“What do you mean?" 1 gasped
“You don't think — why Flannlgan — "
He merely grinned at me and thrust
hla hand down In his pocket When
be brought It up he had Bella's brace-
let on hie palm glittering In the faint
light
“Where did you get It?" Between
relief and the absurdity of the thing I
was almost hysterical But Flannl-
gan did not give me the bracelet In-
stead It struck me hla tone was sud-
denly severe
“Now look here miss” he said
'you've played your trick and you've
had your fun The Lord knows It's
only folks like you would play April
fool Jokes with a fortune! If you're
the alnsible little woman you look to
be you'll put that pearl collar on the
coal In the -basement tonight and let
me find it”
“I haven't got the pearl collar” I
protested T think you are craxy
Where did you get that bracelet?”
He edged away from me as If he
expected me to snatch It from him and
run but be was still trying In au ele-
phantine way to treat the matter as
Joke
“I found it In a drawer In the pan-
try” he said “among the dirty linen
And If you're as smart as I think you
are I'll And the pearl collar there In
the morning— and nothing said miss
So there 1 was suspected of being
responsible for Anne’s pearl collar aa
If I had not enough to worry me be-
fore Of course I could have called
them all together and told them and
Say That Wt Are a Lot of Barbarians
made them explain to Flannlgan what
I had really meant by my delirious
speech In the kitchen But that would
have meant telling the whole ridicu-
lous story to Mr Harblson and hav-
lrg him think us all mad and me a
fooL
In all that overcrowded house there
was only one place where I could be
miserable with comfort So I stayed
on tbe roof and cried a Uttle and then
became angry and walked up and
down and clenched my hands sod bab-
bled helplessly The boats on tbe
river were yellow horizontal streaks
head Then finally 1 curled down In
a corner with my arms on tbe parapet
and the lights became more ami more
rrlsmatlc and finally formed them-
selves Into a circle that was Bella’s
bracelet and that kept whirling
around and around on something flat
anl not over-clean that was riannl-1
gan's palm
CHAPTER X
On the Stairs
I waa roused by some one walking
across the roof the cracking of tin
under feet and a comfortable and
companionable odor or tobacco I
moved a very little and then I saw
that It was a man — tbe height and
erectness told me which man And
Just at that Instant he saw me
“Good Lord!” he ejaculated snd
throwing his cigar away he earn
across quickly “Why Mrs Wilson
what In the world are you doing here?
I thought — they said — ”
“That I was sulking again?” 1 fin-
ished disagreeably “Perhaps I an
In fact I'm quite sure of It”
"You are not” be said severely
"Yon have been as’eep In a February
night In the open air with leas cloth-
ing on than I wear tn the tropics”
I had got np by this time refusing
his help and because my feet were
numb ! sat down on the parapet for
a moment Oh I knew what I looked
like — one of those “Valley-of-the-NUe-After-a-Flood"
pictures
"There Is one thing about you that
Is comforting” I sniffed “You said
precisely the same thing to me at
three o'clock this morning You never
startle me by saying anything unex-
pected" He took a atep toward me and even
In the dusk I could see that he was
I
lookinc Sow at na oddly Aty my
brsvsdo faded away and there yu a
queerixh rtnrtnfslq my 'ear
"I would Uka toff ha aa!4 taaialy'
"I woald Uka this minute— ! a fool
If re’Wlliou"' ha Sniehsi 'mlaerably
“I oerht to :Va driwa as4 qiartered
hut when I aee you Ilka thla I— I gat
craxy ' If you aay tha word TU-rTOi
go down and—" Ra clenched hla fist
- It was reprehensible of course ha
saw that io an Instant for ha abut hla
teeth over ’Something’ that ' xeunded
I very tierce and strode away from me
I to stand looking out over theriver
j with hla bands thrust in bis pockets
I Of course the thing I should have
I gone was to ignore what he had saJd
I altogether but he waa ao uneomforte
I able ao chastened that feline femt
nine whatever the inatlnct U I could
not let him go I had been
wretched myself
What is it you would like to say?"
I 'called over to him He did not
apeak “Would you tell me that I am
a silly child for pouting?” No reply
he struck a match “Or would you
preach a nice little sermon about
people — about women — loving their
husbands T
He grunted earagely under his
breath
“Be quite honest” I pursued relent-
leaely “Say that we are a lot of
barbarians say that eecauae my — be
cause Jimmy treats me outrageously—
oh he does any 6ne can aee that—
and because I loathe him — and any
one can tell that — why don’t you say
you are shocked to the depths?”
was a little shocked myself by that
time but I couldn't stop having
started
He came over to me white-fared
and towering and he had the audacity
to grip my arm and stand me on my
rest like a bad child— which I was X
dare say
“Don't!" he said tn a husky very
pained voice “You are only talking:
You don't mean It It Isn't you You
know you care or else why are you
crying up here? And don't dolt
again don't do It again — or I will—
“You will — what?”
“Make a fool of myself as I have
now" he finished grimly And then
he stalked away and left me there
alone completely bewildered to find
my way down In the dark
I groped along hotdlng to the rail
for the staircase to the roof was very
steep and I went slowly Half-way
down the stairs there was a tiny land
Ing and I stopped I could have
sworn I heard Mr Harblson'a foot
steps far below growing fainter I
even smiled a little there In the dark
although I had been rather profoundly
shaken The next instant I knew I
bad been wrong some one was on the
landing with me I could hear short
sharp breathing and then —
I am not sure that I struggled In
fact I don’t believe I did — I was too
limp with amazement The creature
to have Iain In wait for me like that!
And be was brutally strong: He
caught me to him fiercely and held
me there close and he kissed me — not
once or twice but faslf a dozen times
long kisses that filled ms with hot
shsme for him for myself that I had
— liked him The roughness of his
coat bruised my cheek: I loathed him
And then some one esme whistling
along the hall below and ha puahed
me from him and stood listening
breathing In long gasping breaths
I ran: When my shaky knees
would bold me I ran I wanted to
hide my hot face my disgust my dis-
illusion: I wanted to put my head tn
mother’s lap and cry I wanted to die
or be ill so I need never see blm again
Perversely enough I did none of those
things With my face still flaming
with burning eyes and bands that
shook I made a belated evening toilet
and went slowly haughtily down the
stairs My hands were like Ice but I
was consumed with rage' Oh I
would show him — that this was New
York not Iqulque that the roof was
not his Andean tableland
Every one elaborately Ignored my
absence from dinner The Dallas
Etowns Max and Lollle were at
bridge Jim was alone la the den
walking the floor snd biting at an un-
llghted cigar Betty bad returned to
Aunt Selina and was hysterical they
said and Flannlgan was In deep de-
jection because I had missed my din-
ner (TO BE CONTHfCED)
Still Wondering
Th deaf man got out of the tram
car on to the other lint of rails
“Loek out there's a car coming!”
cried the conductor
“What r said th deaf man
“There's a car coming”
“Whatr
Just then tbe car caught and
knocked down the deaf man and as ha
picked himself up he said:
“I wonder what that fool kept me
there talking about” — Scraps

balloons ere supposed to pass avar

holding the constitutionality of the cop
