What on earth has happened to you?” “Is anyone about?” he asked. “No,” she assured him, “not a soul —except but they're at the back of the house. So come in.” “Not like this!” he sald. “I couldn't sit down without ruining the furniture, you know! I have just come from Bouchard’s shack.” “Bouchard!” Her hand reached out tmpulsively—and soiled itself hopelessly on his muddy sleeve. “Too bad!” he said remorsefully. “Now see what I have done!” “What does it matter?” Her voice was all anxiety now. “Something has happened.

She did not realize, of course, what it might mean. “That's very good of you, but you don’t start at all,” he said firmly. “This { one-man job.” “I don’t see why,” she pouted. “I was dragged in by the hair of the head, you know, yesterday, the way you said it always happened in your stories, so why can’t I be again? I'd love to be a heroine.” “But that would mean,” he chal- lenged, “that you would have to fall in love with the hero—and the hero with you.” “Not at all!” she retorted serene- ly. “Don’t you think ft would be something at last really original in & story—if they didn't?” “Well, that’s an idea, of course,” “Yes— he admitted with a smile; then se | rlously: “But this isn’t a story I'm writing, and so far as you are con- cerned you are henceforth definitely out of it.
