IGNON awakened Roberta at 7 o'clock next morning. As her mistress’ tub was filling the maid announced, somewhat grimly, that somebody had turned her out at 6:30, which hour Mig- non regarded as unseasonable and unrea- sonable. She complained that she had eaten dinner the preceding night in the servants’ dining room with persons to whose general color scheme and table manners she was not accustomed. “They might with equal justice find the same fault with you, Mignon,” Roberta chided her. “No more grous- ing, if you please. We are in the Far ‘West, where men are men and women rope steers and bust wild horses. What did you have for dinner?” Mignon recited the menu. “You ate precisely the same food that I had. Did the others have it, t00?” “Good heavens, no, Miss Roberta! ‘They had brown beans, baked chilli peppers, steak, black coffee and & sort of thin, tough pancake.” “It must be good food.

Breakfast was ready on the gallery when Roberta came out looking for her host. The table was set for two and Don Jaime was waiting for her. “You are as beautiful as an army with banners, Miss Antrim,” he an- nounced in the matter-of-fact tone in which one proclaims that two and two make foyr or that a straight line is the shortest ' distance between two points. Not so much a compliment or the nat- ural desire of a man to flatter a woman, as a definite statement of fact. Nor did he look to see whether his statement pleased her or otherwise; he was drawing out her chair, in fact, and wondering if she had seen what he now saw, to wit— NG _STAR exhibit -u;:u:wum pleasure at com- mmummon-nu,-tm ite looked at her and sai - l-!whlfl‘lmmurenln the gigantic bed of my ancestors.

Instantly his guard was down. With all the eagerness and insouciance of a brittle boy he said: “You and I are go- ing to be the best of friends, Roberta. “Well, I like them fast on their feet— and you're a whizbang, Jimmy. I've been trying very hard to dislike you, but I must confide it's an up-hill job.” “Of course, it's very unethical to like me,” he admitted demurely. “Let ys say it is unuxull ‘and let it go at_that.’ His eyes devoured her. Roberta, you're mighty sweet. I think, if I may, I'll call you Bobby.” “My friends all do, Shamus. Fire away, old-timer.” She saw him swallow mmethlnx— and it was not food. Then she o WASHINGTON, D.

Roberta reminded herself that Don Jaime was the first young man who had ever neglected her to curry favor with a pair of English setters and was interested to discover that she did not resent his action. “What are you going to do about Robbie?” she inquired presently. "Oh Robble, Nothing very much f with him. He requires sunlight, and Iots of it. Every day he lles out in the sunlight. I gave it to him in smail does, s0 he wouldn’t sunburn. Now he'’s tanned.

Or have you?” “I haven't. When an Higuenes mar- ries, it takes. And I haven't married be- cause you've been such a long time showing up at my ranch.” “Why, Jimmy!” “I thought for a while I'd surely have to go to Hillcrest, Dobbs Ferry, West- chester County, N. Y., and point out to you the error of your way, but, thanks to your uncle Tom, I was spnred that expensive journey. Then, too, I prob- ably wouldn't have showed to such good advantage in your country, because of the competition. I loathe competition. It makes me just a little bit jealous.” For the life of her Roberta couldn't help laughing. She had a habit of laughing at men when they were pro~ posing to her or on the brink of it. To her chagrin he laughed with her, and instantly & horrible suspicion crossed her mind. Was he merely telling her the complimentary things he thought she desired to hear?
