A few days later Tom Hardy re ceived a typewritten slip. At first a buzzled curiosity marked his expres- sion. It was a list of dances for the coming season, their dates and the various hotels, and some private dances, and one was the annual ban- quet of the Nebraska society.

He stirred uneas : ily and presscd his teeth together in an effort to keep his eyes straight ahead. Priscilla was fumbling in her bag for something that was evidently not forthcoming. Hardy felt, rather than saw, the pucker of annoyance that swept across her brow. However, she drew forth a bit of fine paper and an envelope. Suddenly she turned, and Tom Hardy knew that he was being ap- pralsed. He did not blink an eyelash during the swift scrutiny; them he heard her voice. “Pardon me—but have you a pen- selves, "I wrote th she said in a curiously un-l~‘u|m<liko% tone. “l had to rush so to get the| train that it was necessary to write it on the way in so that you would get | g “Oh!" said Bess.

And because her nerves were more or less unsteady Faith made a remark that to Bess would have seemed fool- ish. “Yes—it 8 enough to lose & pencil without losing time as well.” Then she blushed turiously at herself and Tom Hardy only laughed. “We agree—beautifully,” he whis. pered softly.
