'Out there" meant "Meadow- brook" of course. Now for explana tions. "Can I?" Jim asked, stalling for time, curious to discover her real interest in the Vaughn estate. 'You can tell Tommy" She paused to find fitting words in which to phrase her message. The scorn ful expression was gone. Again Jim observed her former air of secret amusement, the mischief glinting like dancing imps in her eyes. "Tell Tommy not to come in tonight. Pri vately, if you know what I mean You look like a pretty good egg." Tommy! Complications were in creasing. Jim realized the advisa bility of clearing himself at once, "I'd be glad to take your message," he said, "and you could rely on my But I'm not going to discretion. 'Meadowbrook.' " The blue eyes widened. Jim thoueht he detected about her mouth a return of the scornful expression. "You aren't afraid of him, are you?" she asked. The words implied a compliment. Jim felt a little embarrassed. He shouldn't have let her assume that he was on his way to the Vaughn estate. He shouldn't have encouraged her to talk of the family there. She'd probably be offended. "Oh no," he said, smiling a shade uneasily. "It's merely that Well, it's too hot to walk three miles." "Walk!" she echoed. Jim read in her incredulous expression the thought running through her mind. She probably presumed that he had a fleet of Daimlers anchored at the curbing outside. Or a Packard, at least a roadster, perhaps, with leather upholstery and a Hock of tricky gadgets. "I came out on the train," he said. "They weren't expecting me." He hoped she wouldn't refer to the i j garage or me seaan piauaiueuj TAXI. She mentioned taxi nor neither the parace. After a moment of thought she produced instead, an original suggestion. "I know!" Her voice was warm "We have some with enthusiasm. things to send to Clarke's.

"No, I'm not," he added in an altered voice. "I've missed that one by 15 minutes." "Herb won't mind you riding with him." She slipped down from the stool and glanced at Jim with a mischievous expression. "You could walk a mile, couldn't you?" she asked. "You look as though you could, I mean you aren't a cripple!" "I might manage a mile." Jim hesitated. "But I don't like to impose." "Forget it! Herb likes company. Wait just a second." She disappeared through an opening in the rear partition of the store and Jim heard, indistinctly, a His new murmured conversation. acquaintance, he thought, was a capable young lady. He couldn't, with decency, refuse her friendly suggestion. Whatever his personal inclinations might be, he was about to visit "Meadowbrook." Why not go? Impulse pointed in that direction.

"Thanks," Jim said amiably. "I'm much obliged for the lift." The young man from the drug' store continued to regard him with marked aversion. "Y'r'welcome," he mumbled and sent the car rocketing into a drive, accompanied by swirls of dust and a noise like exploding This sulky young man named Her bert, thought Jim, was probably in love with Dolly. She Jim smiled compassionately. led him a merry chase, no doubt. There was something about Dolly which appealed to the imagination of men. Jim whistled as he walked along tr 3 side of the' road. He felt amazingly cheerful. It was food he had needed and stimulating company. Dolly bless her! had provided both. He must make every effort to deliver her message, bhe naa assumed ne was aeauainted with the household at Meadowbrook." Cecily. Attractive name. But who was Tommy? Some one who worked on the place per haps the chauffeur. The imminence of seeing the Mac- Phersons again added to Jim's increasing felicity. He found that he was able to recall the week-enwith less acute humiliation. Why had he let the Callenders get under his skin to such a disturbing de gree? It wasn't his fault that he hadn't a job. Fellows smarter than he were in the same predicament. He should have been jaunty. "Brother, can you spare a job?" Debonaire. The light touch did it He'd lost his genius "for the light touch. He'd lost his sense of proportion, his conviction that life should be lived in terms of a comea dy. He hadn't been cast for tragic role. He was too healthy, too blond, too naturally cheerful. He'd gotten out of character, glooming and glowering and sensitively magnifying trifles into slights and insults. Jim grinned sheepishly and the melody he whistled, rising in trills of mocking notes, reached a derisive crescendo. As a tragic figure he He'd get back into was absurd. character and stay there, to extend the metaphor, until the third act curtain. He was going to marry Lenore The whistled notes ceased abruptly. He saw her in minute detail, her small exquisitely groomed figure, her dark hair parted demurely and pinned in a shining knot at the nape of her neck, her long dark eyes, her skin so nearly the tint and texture of the gardenias which were her favorite flowers. She was looking. Interesting, too, lovely He'd been so crazy about her What had become or nis young passion for Lenore? Jim walked more slowly along the dusty margin of the road. It had been real enough the summer she'd spent with Kay He was nineteen at "Whitehall." then, just through his first year at Princeton. The details of her visit were lost in a roseate mist. He'd been down for the count from the moment he had met her at the Station, petite and enchanting in some costume frasort of a silver-gregrant with gardenias. What an egregious young ass he'd been! Jim thought with amused compassion of the young' Jim who had been himself a very long time y "You don't know Cecily?" she asked. It was apparent that she found it difficult to believe him. "Word of honor." Jim's expression was grave. He sensed that this was a matter of great importance. "I thought" she gave it up. For a moment she seemed to deliberate. Then, abruptly, she extended the bamboo rod. "Here," she said. "Maybe you can fix it" The rod was a flag of truce. Hostilities were for the moment suspended. Jim examined the break, and the child, with the agility of a monkey, swung herself up on the bridge. "Can you?" she asked. "Do you suppose you can fix it?" "Easily." Jim smiled down into the small anxious face. "A little twine and varnish will do the trick. See, the break is here at the end." The puzzled expression returned to her eyes. "I should think you d know Cecily," she said. "I mean you look " Again she abandoned the difficult task of making her meaning clear. "But I don't," Jim assured her. "You see " he smiled. "Are you a Vaughn?" She nodded. "Which one?" "I'm Susan." Her manner be came defensive. "Go on and laugh. know it's an awful name." Jim, with some difficulty, main tained a grave expression.
