Mrs. Bett called after them. She gave no instructions o Ina, who was married and able shine In her conduct, It seemed. Dwight was cross, On the way to the' station he might have been heard to take It up again, whatever It was, and hts Ina unmistakably said : "Well, now, don't keep it going all the way there" ; and turned bock to the others with some elaborate comment about the dost, thus cutting off her lord from his 'legitimate retort A Dinner and the play the show, as Nlnlan called It. This show was "Peter Pan," chosen by Nlnlan because the seats cost the most of those at any theater. It was almost Indecent to see how Dwight Herbert, the immortal soul, had warmed and melted at these contacts. - By the time that all was over", and they were at the hotel for supper, such was his pleasurable excitation that be was onoe more playful, teasing, once more the Irrepressible. But now hts Ina was to be won back, made it evident that she was not one lightly to overlook, and a fine firmness sat upon the little doubling chin. They discussed the play. Not one of them had understood the story. The part wasn't that the queerest thing? Nothing to do with tbe rest of the play. "I was for the pirates. The one with the book he was my style," said Dwight. , "Well, there It Is again," Ina cried. "They didn't belong to the real play, either." "Oh, well," Nlnlan said, "they have to put In parts, I suppose, t catch Instead of a song and everybody. dance, they do that." "And I didn't understand," said Ina, "why they all clapped when the principal character tan down front and said something to the audience that time. But they all did." Nlnlan thought this might have been out of compliment. Ina wished that Monona might have seen, confessed that the last part was so pretty that sue herself would not look ; and into ilia's eyes etuie their loveliest light. Lulu sat there, hearing the talk about the ptay. "Why couldn't 1 have said that?" she thought as the others spoke.- - -- All that they said seemed to her apropos, but she could think of nothing to add. The evening had been to her a light from heaven how coukl she find anything to say? She sat in a daze of happiness, her mtnd hardly operative, her look moving from one to another. At last Nlnlan looked at Iier. "Sure you liked It, Miss Lulur ' "Oh, yes! I think they all took their parts real well." It was not enough. She looked at - en-ter- ed "THE UNEMPLOYED.' ..." Each day abounds in mystery to on a warm ThisYcag, They 'levelned this theme exhaustively, iHvicht usually speaking in the third person nd always with his" shoulder turned a bit from bis wife. It was Inconceivable, tbe gusto with Ina had aswhich they proceeded. sumed for the purpose ia air distrait, casual, altentive to the scene about them. But gradually her cheeks began to burn. "She'll cry," I.ulu thought in alarm, and said at random r "Ina, that hat la so pretty ever so much prettier than the old one." Rut Ina said frostily that she never saw anything the matter- with the old one. "Let ug talk." said Nlnlan low, to Lnlu. "Then they'll simmer down. He went on, In an undertone, about nothing In particular. Lulu hardly heard what he said. It was so pleasant to have him talking to her In this confidential fashion : and she was pleasantly aware that his manner was open to misinterpretation. In the nick of time the lobster was served. n , - evening a fortnight later, Lulu descended the stairs dressed for her incredible trip to the city, she wore the white waist which she had often thought they would "use" for her If she died. And reallj. tbe waist looked as if it had been planned for the purpose, and its wide, upstanding plaited lace at throat and wrist made her neck look thinner, her forearm sharp and veined. Her hair she had "crimped" and parted in the middle, puffed high it was so that hair had been worn In Lulu's girlhood. "Well I" said Ina, when she taw this coiffure, and frankly examined It head well back, tongue meditatively teasing at her lower Up. For travel Lulu was again wearing Ina's linen duster the old one. Nlnlan appeared, In a sack coat and his diamond. Hit distinctly convex face, its thick, rosy flesh, thick mouth and cleft chin gave Lulu once more that bold sense of looking not at him, for then she was shy and averted her eyes but at his photograph at which she could gaze aa much as she would. She looked up at him openly, fell In step beside him. Was he not taking her to the city? Ina and Dwight themselves were going because she. Lulu, had brought Te planned eloping lota of times," she said ambiguously. It flashed across tbe mind of Bobby that in these plans of hers he may not always have been the principal, and he could not be rare . . . Bat ahe talked In nothings, and he answered her so.
