How he Lau man- aged to accomplish ar ing was a myciery. Luckily, the office had sort of run itself. Kirk got a book and went over to the window seat. The book was Mrs. Browning’s poems. He turned to “Lord Walter's Wife,” the poem Juanita had mentioned at Caprice “But why do you go?” said the lady, As both sat under the yew, And her eyes were alive in their depths Like the bracken beneath the sea blue. ecause I fear you,” he answered ecause you are far too fair, |And able to strangle my soul . | “Why, the darned thing's wr! |ten to prove we can be true if we want to,” he thought. “If I don't confront Juanita with this . . . He took out his pencil and began to mark certain of the verses. He looked at his watch. Five minutes of four. Some one came in from the hall. It was Adrian. Kirk had spoken to him on the stair a moment be- fore. Adrian had asked it the library at this time. Kirk rose. | He would be in the hall when Jua- | nita came down the stair, however, might not come down the stair, but by way of the verandah through one of the long French windows, from which Adrian star- ed so unhappily at the darkened sky. Kirk sat down again. When Juanita entered, they would bolt. “Don't let the weather rumple you,” he said to Adrian. “Tarpon Point’s jolly when it rains.” “The weather?” Adrian turned, hands in his pockets. “Senorita Flores is engaged,” he said abrupt- y. “That so?” Kirk answered after {a pause, his pencil moving beneath a line. How had that got out so soon? He looked up. “Did she tell you?” he asked. Adrian shook his head. “I have nct seen her today, except at Nelly told her. Last night the mar- quesa gave my mother the particu- {lars. Senorita is engaged to a no- bleman in Barcelona.” Kirk looked down at his book. So that was what she had had to tell him. “Barcelona’s a long way off,” |he said. “The ocean to cross, and all Spain, if I remember my geo- graphy. You going to let that stop you?” Adrian thought, “She’s told him herself.” But had she told him all? “Senorita Flores is not only engag- ed,” said Adrian, debt to this man—for her educa- tion, her clothes, her travels. Who- ever else should marry her would have to assume that obligation. It is so stipulated.” Kirk's eyes were on the page. “'Why now you no longer are fair! | Why, now you no longgr are fatal, |But ugly and hateful, I swear—" “Good you found out in time,” said Kirk. Adrian nodded. “Suppose I had proposed and been accepted?’ he remarked. “I thought you should know, also. Nelly “told my mother that you had not been told.” Kirk thanked him, and Adrian sauntered out through the French windows, down into the garden. Kirk went to the hall door. There was no sign of Juanita. He waited until ten minutes after the hour when they were to meet in the porte cochere for the drive to { Tarpon Point. There he found her, on the front seat of Adrian's sedan, Adrian be- side her. She smiled gayly at Kirk, buttoning the collar of her brown suede coat, pulling her russet cap down about her ears. Kirk's smile was less spontaneous as he climbed in beside the marquesa, among the wraps and umbrellas that had been provided against cold and rain. Ma- dame Fouche and Nelly waved to them as they rode away. Tt was not until they reached Tarpon Point and were going up the steps of Steve’s place that Kirk managed a word with Juanita alone. “You didn't come to the library. ‘What was the matter?” “I came,” she answered. “Adrian was there. I'll see you tomorrow.” Kirk was aware that she had been glad to turn back at the door —thankful to Adrian for furnish- ing this brief reprieve. (Copyright, Dodd, Mead and Co.)
