She was a dead weight. Her duty lay clear before her. At breakfast that morning she said: myd, could you talk with me a “Most_certainly, my dear.” Richard stirred his second cup of coffee and looked at Yvonne reflectively. Dr. Loring was right. Yvonne was a real beauty. Perhaps there might be some entertainment in guiding her about his own soclal world. And then her nerves Dr. Loring had said were jangled. He did not want Yvonne to be ill. Sup- posed they played together a little.

And one in 10 days, a week from this com- ing Saturday. Take your choice. I don't suppose there is a great deal of getting ready to do." “I will sail Saturday,” Yvonne said. “So soon?

Richard had -1may taken his personal belongings to the club. His obvious delight at moving there to live was a thorn in Yvonne's side, but it served, too, to steel her to her purpose. At noon they sat at the dining table for a cold lunch. “Will you do lomethlnl for me to- morrow, Richard?” Yvonne asked. “Gladly,” “Just name 1t.” “I wish to go to the boat tomorrow alone,” she said. “Alone—but, Yvonne, how will you mmqe?" “1 can manage,” Yvonne said sim- "lut I wish to mlkl here—in been, have bmte a little—"have hnn 0 hnpg: together.

Good thing you decided to say good-by at the house, or I couldn’t have made it.” Yvonne made no answer. She was waiting for him to tell her of the tea party he had promised to attend, but he did not mention it. “Bob told me a queer story when I saw him yesterday,” Richard went on. “Seems there was a _stunning girl dancer, going big on Broadway while I was away.
