Jessica is about to inherit the principal of her father's estate, and a worthless bounder named Raymond Townley is preying on her affections. Although he is in- terested in another woman, Mark drops his affairs to attend to Jes- sica’s. At first he tries to reasom with her, and they quarrel. Later Aunt Maude suggests that he carry her off until she has come to her senses. At first Mark ridicules the idea, but finally ke does carry her off to his shack in the Shawan- gunk Mountains. Of course, she is furious, and they are sworn ene- mies. When he suggests that he invite Irene Martin, the woman in whom he interested, to pay them a visit Jessica ridicules him Her light scorn stings Mark, and when they go fishing he saves her from a bad fail, and yielding to an impulse, kisses her. She ridicules him again, and he is furious with himself. After lunch he goes away in the car, and in the afterono a thunderstorm rouses Jessica from a nap. PTER XXXVIIL Mark's Errand.

And yet there was one thing worse, infinitely so. She would be the third party, the fifth wheel.

Once Miss Martin arrived, Mark would find it difficult to play the vigilant watch-dog. Given a chance, it would be a simple matter to steal the car and drive off in it. \What a | joke to leave them here together! It was growing lighter, too, and the Jessica of a moment ago, the Jessica of the frightened eyes and trembling mouth, had changed into the flippant Bunny who had faced him so defi- antly at lunch.
