OF BETTY By ANITA CAVENAUGH. BARTERING | | | | *Just why,” queried Billy as meek- {1y as his 175 pounds would permit, { “are you fjilting me? Here is your ring. I bought it today.” He toss- | ed the jeweled circle on the table be- ; fore them, | “Oh, Billy, what a beauty? May I [ try it on for a minute?” } “For as long as you llke. No | other woman will ever wear a ring of | mine” There was bitterness in his | young heart, | “I wish you could put it on, | Billy, just as 1if nothing had hap- pened.” He saw the tears glittering on her lashes and suddenly caught her hands in his own. “What 1s it, Betty dear? What's gone wrong since last night? Be hon- est with me, girl!™ Betty glanced about her apprehen- sively. “Somebody will hear.” “l took great care to bring you straight to my den.” “For heaven's sake, Betty, why this suspense? Let the ax fall. Have you discovered that you don't care for me, after all?” “No, Billy. 1 love you better than anything else in this world.” “That settles it,” said Billy, slipping the circle of blg diamonds on her finger. “Neither man nor devil can take you away from me now.” Betty looked down at the auburn head bent over her hand. “Don't, Bil- ly!" she cried sharply. “Don't make love to me. If you do, I never can give you up, and father says—" “So—your father objects.” “Only on principle, Billy.” She took the ring from his finger and handed it to him solemnly. “He says that I am keeping you from getting a good business start, that you have no head for figures.” “In other words, he thinks I'm no | man, just a plain boob.” § l “No, he believes that you are clev- er, but he says you never take any- at you are only in th me te rarily, pwant moe after you get me,” | Betty Billy lookked at her, and his pulse throbbed as he her close to him | *how father a | said her, A man supported himself, swaying by the curtaing in the doorway. “I beg pardon,” he said thickly. “Didn’t mean to disturb you and the lady. I-—1 was just looking about, you know—" As he spoke, Billy covered him with the little pistol he had taken from the table drawer, “Up with your hands! Quick about it love w I am golng to thing or two,” he Hearing footstey | perceptibly. “I've had a little too much, That's all. Don't make a row. Tl go now.” “Not with the property of my { mother's guests in your pockets. Your | drunken ruse does not work with me, Betty, please touch that bell by the window. " When the servants had answer:d the summons, and the thief lay bound on the floor, Billy proceeded to search him, “There's father's watch,” rereamed | Betty { him. And mother's horseshoe of dia- monds! What a bold thief!™ The police made a quiet entranee | to take their prisoner. Billy and Bet- ty went downstairs to return the gpoils. Everyvbody was busy playing bridge. Not one of them had discover- | ed any loss, “What time have you, daddy dear?" ! asked Betty stopping by ber father's ! chalr. | There was consternation on his face when he felt in an empty pocket. “Why, 1-1," he floundered miser | ably, not caring to cunounce a loss in | his friends’ house. Rilly held up his valuable old watch. ! “How many of you have lost jewelry tonight?” | pins, trinkets and a string of pearls worth a king's ransom. “My pearls!” shricked Mrs. Stauley Weyland. “My horseshos pin!” eried Betty's | mother, | “My emerald bracelet,” moaned Kit- ty Melears, “It's the one you gave me, et ordered Rilly. “1 There's the thief!™ uted to the stairway where licemen could be seen leading 1y their prisoner, How did this hgppen, young man?®” v's father was perturbed. He was ved that any man could take his I without his knowledge, He had 1imeelf all Lis life on his abil- fty to read character. “The fellow did not look like a thief.” “People, like things, are not always t they appear,” suggested Billy v. "I may not look like a man myself but I am going to you look to your laurels in that S cr-Mynatt guit tomorrow.
