The money burned In her hands; she did not want it Her shabby dress had ao worked upon his generous sympathy that he would not be content now without tome pledge of help; this beggar should have a hat coat promise of rent money. "I am poor, and my mother is a widow, but I have a hat and, I dont speak with a brogue!" she thought of bursting out But he would think she was crazy She hesitated. It was too late. Mamie was in the room, obviously with plana against little Veronicas peace. Yes, run along wit Mamie, the father said.

Sheila sat down again, but before he could speak there waa an interruption. Here they all are! Veronica shrilled from the doorway. There was a great sound of bustle and confusion ln the hallway; laughter, voices. Its our Gertrude shes getting married to my boy Peter next Tuesday the man began, when -Gertrude herself interrupted him.- -She stood in the doorway, a stunning slim girl in a black suit and carrying sable furs. Her laughing voice came into the library. Sheila, who had gotten to her feet, stood staring at her, and at the man who stood beside her. A tall man, with black curly hair The floor rocked beneath her feet; her mouth felt dry and her head swam. She knew this man she knew this man. He had kissed her, a certain hot summer night be-side the sea, under a low, hot moon. No other man had ever kissed her it was Peter! Uncle Paul! said Gertrude. "If you could have seen Norah Gaynor get mixed up with Peter lega coming down the aisle, you'd remain away next Tuesday! Honestly, I never waa ao embarrassed in my life She stared at the girl, but there was nothing unfriendly in her stare. "Gertie, la your aunt there? the Judge asked. "She was, Gertrude said. "But of course the minute she saw her. Von put up a squawk, and Aunt El-li- e went upstairs with her. T11 get her! the judge said. Gertrude turned back into the hallway with him;.

There was no more time; Judge Me Cann waa returning, and with him was a tall, delicate-lookin- g woman who turned an eager gaze toward Sheila.
