"Good-by,- " he said pleasantly, as If she were Just some one he had chanced to meet at a dinner. "Good luck to the new 8rm. And I shall be glad to see your father at' any time." He was gone. Mary leaned back In her chair, trying to look as if everything that mattered In the world hadn't gone with him. She must get herself together; must talk to John Stark. But John Stark was talking to her, his eyes narrowed, his bristling little mustache severe. "Where's your coo; age, M. Brown ? You aren't letting him go, are you?" "But he doesn't care any more, Mr. Stark!" "Bosh and nonsense ! When a ' man makes a complete ass of himself trying to snub a girl, makes a bally stuffed shirt of himself what's the answer?

He turned, removed his hat with a faultless gesture. "Denis, I want to talk to you." "I don't believe there Is anything to be said. Is there, Mary?" "I have a different slant on that." "I'll miss my train." "Miss It then 1" defiantly. "May I talk to you?" With a gesture which signified that he couldn't be rude, he followed her around the cliff, beyond the glare of lights, to the beach below, and seated himself beside her on a bench facing the ocean. your fingers and toea, or just to your long as you cornel whether we eat your rye bread If we but dine I don't care whether we Hop of Heaven which I together. 11 v in shall remodel for you (sweetheart, I couldn't stand the place wltb yoo gone !) or on one of your estates, so long as we live together.

The Brown Bowl lay flecked with live oak sunshine and shadow-a- s leaves swung to soft breezes. It was the wedding morning of the girl for whom the Brown Bowl had been named, and of the fledgling promoter who had dedicated It to her when she was a penniless engineer.

"Mary, where is all this getting us? I can't stand more of It" "Will you?" she persisted. "Stick to it that you can't see?" "I'll swear It on a stack of Bibles. What of it?" Exultant, she swung to seize him by the coat lapels. Her voice was wholly "Denny! laughing now. Denny! All this talk Is futile, then !" "What else was your note but a definite refusal?,.
