She could never go back. never again drowse on the porch of the white house with the green blinds “I don't know who you are or what you are trying to do.” She was strong now. Strong and unafraid. “But if | you have injured me in any way, or iried to hurt me. I will see that you are properly punished. ‘The dance was ended. Now she could escape. No, this man meant to detain her. He no longer lecred. He was confidential, apologetic. “Now, don't get hufly, Miss Brookes. Maybe you know plenty about this Leonard fellow and maybe you don't.

In the end. truth would forge ahead, upset all one’s cleverly laid schemes and graceful intentions. Upset them when it was too late to do any- thing about claiming the stzke, happi- ness. It was fantastic to think that she, Tony, cared deeply about Tom Stewart. Fan- tastic, but true. How could she con- vince' Lee anyihing so unlikely had happened? She couldn't. It wculd be folly to try. And if, by some queer kink in th= cable of truth she had mis- interpreted the message in Tom's eyes, he would regard her as a seniimental idiot. She must hold Fer tongue.

P! “Then he should be here tomorrow momning” It was a relief to know Donald Kemp would implant his domi- nance between them and the disaster that must surely overtake them and shame them until it was too late for |truth to matter. Had Lee, with her native shrewdness for design, hit upon the truth? Was Donald Kemp trying to save his own face, as well as the faces of his casual companions? Some- how the possibility that Kemp was married had not occurred to Tony. He seemed a free spirit. Free to confer her favor where he would. without dalliance, without reservation. (To Be Continued.)
