M Florian, turned out flawlessly in evening clothes, was waiting impatiently in the drawing room below. His quick flush as she came down to meet him, the silver web of her evening wrap on her arm, would have been sweet to the light vanity that had been hers in a day gone by. Now she heeded it only with a Florian feeling of faint vexation. came forward and lifted a cool and waxy corsage of white orchids from the small table near the door. "Permit me, most beautiful!" he said, bowing elaborately from the waist. "And if you tell me you hate orchids, I'll make you eat 'em!" Autumn laughed and brushed the delicate aristocrats with her finger tips. "Extravagant wretch!" she said, and fixed them to her gown. m "They're beautiful, Florian. There! Thank you so much!" She did, as a matter of fact, detest orchids, and in her imperious days at Aunt Flo's she had never thought twice about spurning them. But that was before this curious possession of pity had come over her. "You haven't seen father, of course?" she said as they turned to leave. "I crashed the gates with Han- nah's assistance," Florian said. "Is the Laird still peeved about the haystack episode?" "No," she replied. "He has forgotten that, I think. But he has his bad days." "Probably feels low about your leaving him so soon again." "Scarcely that. He may be joining me in the fall." They had got into Florian's car. "We're going to miss you like the deuce," he said. "It's something to know I'll be missed, anyway," Autumn murmured. Florian put out a hand and crushed her fingers within his own, then let them go and grasped the wheel. "Damn it!" he muttered. "If you would reason " only listen to The hall in which the dance was being held was packed when they arrived. Japanese lanterns and gay streamers festooned the ballroom and across the bobbing sea of faces came the giddy blare of a jazz orchestra. Autumn looked down from a balcony upon the throng, with heavy-lidde- d eyes behind which there was a searching glow. "Some crush, eh?" Florian observed, standing close beside hor. "Shall we go down at once and c,et our shins kicked? Or shall we wait awhile? They're using everything down there from the Ark gallop to the latest wiggle of the rumba." "Let us look on for a while first," she suggested. As she spoke, her lashes swept low over her eyes. In the comparative freedom of the outer fringe of dancers, she had seen Linda and Bruce Lnndor. Above Linda's head, Bruce's eyes moved cautiously along the rim of the balcony, paused for an imponderable instant as they met Autumn's, and moved on in in- difference. "There's Lin and Bruce," Florian said suddenly, "down there near the wall to the right." Autumn looked, pretending not to see at once. "I see them now," she said finally. "You could pick them out of a million," Florian said admiringly. "They make the rest of the crowd . look like Let's go down and give them a little competition. also-rans- Autumn."

She moved toward the door, but Florian grasped the shoulders of her loose automobile coat and pulled it off her. "Don't be such a fool!" he said. "Now that you're here, sit down and be pleasant about it. I'm not so as to make any assaults on your virtue, if that's what's on your mind. My God, I had to come up here to tell you, didn't I?" "Now that you've told me I can go," Autumn replied. "You're not going to get out of here till we've had a drink and a bite to eat. After that you may do as you please." Autumn seated herself and took a cigarette from her case. She lit it and sat without speaking while Florian carried her coat to a closet and hung it up. When he came back he poured a couple of drinks at the buffet, one of which he handed to Au- - lurch." Bruce laughed lightly. "Hector," he said, "you're barking up the vr'ng tree, old boy." "I Hector bristled immediately. don't bark" he began, then halted abruptly and got to his feet. "Here comes Autumn herself," he said, his pleasure and annoyance making a mask of his face. curious gnome-lik- e an almost For imperceptible instant. Autumn paused in her approach to them. Hector saw her quick pallor and put out a hand toward her. Bruce rose and made a slight, formal bow with an ease that was disconcerting to Hector. After a brief "Good evening!" to Bruce, Autumn turned at once to Hector. "Our dance Hector!" she announced. "Or haven't you finished your smoke?" Hector waived her question and then drew himself up sternly. "You are planning to leave for England next Saturday, I understand," he said to Autumn. "Next Saturday morning, Hector," she replied. "I am inviting you two" he said, and looked aggressively from one to the other "to dinner at my house next Thursday evening. Will that suit you both?" There was a silence in which Hector, the spectator, saw the clash of humorously blue eyes and clear, n Bruce stricken, eyes. thrust one hand idly into the pocket of his coat and stood in a lounging attitude, looking pleasantly down at Autumn as he replied. "Thursday will suit me, Hector." "Why, certainly, darling," Autumn said breathlessly, turning to Hector. "How sweet of you! Shall we dance now?" She took Hector's arm and led him away. Bruce watched them go, then smiled as he seated himself. Poor old Hector, he thought wryly. Making a last gallant effort! And how gamely she had taken it! Came right back at him, her eves flaming in rage. Oh, well what the devil! He buried his cigarette angrily in the earth of a potted plant that stood near at hand, then got up and strolled out, the leisurely figure of a young man who had no scar on his occurred to the old soldier then that Autumn's wish to dance with him had been merely a ruse. Her real desire was to avoid dancing with Bruce. "Hhilo, Hector!" Bruce said warmly as he came face to face with him. Linda, with a nod to- 2291.
