"Beally," said Miss Colby, "I cannot Imagine what you can have to say that could concern me so deeply." "You will in a moment hut I can not speak without your promise." "1 can give you no such promise lightly." "1 don't ask It lightly.

It Is a matter that concerns my happiness deeply, and your own also perhaps even more deeply than mine But If you cannot give me your word of honor never to repeat to anyone what am going to tell yon. there Is nothing for me to do but shut my month and go away."

"Upon my word," cried Doris, with a touch of sarcasm, "how things do get about I And how. may I ask, have you arrived at this conclusion?" "From various sources," answered Nina. "1 have seen you occasionally iu public in company witb the man I mean. I have seeu frequent references to the possibility of your engagement to one or two of those gossipy society papers, and what's more, I have had some talk witb the man himseli upon tiiis very subject." "I suppose," said Doris Colby, "that I ought to ask you to go away at once." "Please, please don't," said Nina quickly, and something in her sudden earnestness caught and held the other. "If you do you will regret it as long as you live, believe me." "Very well," said Doris, after a mo ment's reflection, "but I warn you II what you have to saj is merely silly gossip, actuated by a spirit of petty malice, it will have no effect whatever upon me." "I'll take that chance. " said Nina, "for I know full well that when you have heard me, you will recognize that what I tell you must be the truth." The golden head bowed slightly. "1 am waiting," said Doris. ''Very well, then," said Nina, "and again I remind you that what I am going to say is said upon the assur a nee of your solemn word of honor never to repeal it. If you will say to me, right here and n w. that you have no intention whatever ol mar rying Jim Stanley, why I'll say good night and good by. without further ado." "So that's It," said Doris quietly "Well," inquired Nina, "shall I go on, or shall I say goodnight?" "Co on," said Doris briefly. "After what I have already fold you," continued Nina, 'the mention ot his name almost completes my story lie has wrecked my life that Is the long and the short of It."

As he saw the door swing upon its hinges and close upon the emerging figure, he hurried across the Avenue, nimbly dodging a bus and a flock of hurrying motors, and approaching Nina from the rear, seized her by the elbow.

CHAPTER V The Strollers club was an Institution so old and exclusive that If you wished to become a membei of It before you were too old to use it you had to he proposed about t tie time you were horn. Waterman's father had. in fact, proposed him tot membership three years before he came of age. It was the kind of a club that contains many ancient members who have favorite easy chairs which they regard as their personal property and which can be occupied by others only at the risk of their severe displeasure. It may be imagined, therefore, that the Strollers was not Waterman's fa vorite club. He went there only when he wished to be alone. Tonight' was one of those occasions. Thus far he had not been disturbed by any acquaintance, but at this moment an attendant arrived at his elbow with a slip from the telephone operator Waterman glanced at it and read: "Mr. Brotntield." He ground bis teeth "Tell him Pin no) In," he said, but as the attendant turned away he added: "No d n It, I'll speak to him." And as he found his way to the telephone bmth he muttered: "What ;he devil does he want now?" But he wanted altoknew what Brotntield gether too well. Mr. Brotntield was a burly gentleman who operated games ot chance in a side street Just off the Avenue, next door to one of the famous restaurants of the world He was a genial person geniality was part of his stock In trade. He knew how to make It pay and he was presentable. In a way. Yet lie never allowed his geniality to Inter fere materially with his hank account On the contrary Consequently, though his couversa lion with Waterman on ttie telephone was most polite. Waterman had no Iteduced to doubt as to its meaning Its essentials. It mean, that If certain uotes made by Waterman and now In the possession ot the sporting man. were not taken up within a reasonable time, steps would be taken steps uot agreeable to contemplate. The reflections Induced by this knowledge were not conducive to good digestion. Nor. aside from this, was Waterman's mind entirely at ease.
