PAGE EIGHT : THE OTHER ALIGE 3 “It’s all the fault of my abominable hand-writing, and careless habit of never crossing my t's,” reflected Owen Barton, as he reread the prim little note of acceptance from a girl he had never invited. “And I've no ome but myself to blame,” he added in acknowledgement of the fact that Alice Barl and Alice Bart did look very much alike. | “Of course, there's nothing to do but carry off the situation as if I had in- | tended it that way, and take Miss Barl | to the dance. I might have known | she would be invited to the Darvin's | dance on Tuesday. The Barls are an old family here—older, even, than the Barts, and the Darvins belong to the conservative set, “But—why, the situation is ridicu- lous! I hardly know the girl” He searched his memory for recollections of Miss Barl. It was fanciful fate that caused him to meet Alice Bart, the one of his choice, on his way home from the office that afternoon. She was stand- ing in front of a jeweler's window. “You are late,” greeted she. “Guy | Pilson has been before you, and I've promised to go with him to the dance Tuesday night.” There seemed to be no doubt in her mind that he had fn- tended to invite her. “Procrastination has defrauded many ] & better man,” retorted he regretfully. “Oh, well, we'll all be at the same place,” she returned lightly. Then the expression of her blue eyes changed to glittering hardness as her glance re- turned to the jewels. “I must have them—the diamond and sapphire necklace!” He could see the slim fingers grind together. “Father has more than half promised me—" Barton’s eyes shone in responsive understanding. She scemed born for things like these, and it was his idea of serving the woman he loved to deck her with glittering jewels. “Some time—some time, Alice, I hope to be in a pcsition to buy things like these, and have the right to give them to you—" He spoke with hur- ried eagerness. thing in its quality disappointed him; ment than tenderness in her eyes. | As he presented himself at the old !

When Alice appeared, dressed in a ! simple white dress, he exerted himself Would be a true helpmate to any man,” to please, and acknowledged to himselt and something in her soft, dark eyes as she said good night gave him hope.

At last he no- |1 there was more calculating appraise- | ticed the guests were leaving and Yet when fie arrived at the Darvin’s and saw Alice Bart, his ardor for her flamed afresh. In a filmy chiffon gown over blue satin, she gave an effect not often seen in Edgetown, and about her throat was the necklace of dia- monds and sapphires she had coveted in the jeweler's window. During the evening Barton wan- dered out on the veranda for a cool breath and a quiet smoke. At first he thought he was alone, but in a few moments he discovered two men seated on a bench around the corner. “For months I've foreseen this crash coming in Bart's affairs,” said one. “For old friendship’s sake, I'd have been willing to give him a loan to tide him over, if he'd shown any disposi- tion to retrench in his personal ex- penditure. For with care and economy this might have been averted. But at his present rate of living I knew I might as well throw my money out in the street for all the real good it would do him.” “Yes, that's true,” responded the other, and Barton recognized the voice of Matthews, the senior partner in the firm where he worked. “He's the sort that never denies his family anything —whether he can afford it or not. Why, only yesterday he bought his daughter a diamond and sapphire necklace,” “The one she’s wearing tonight?” “Yes, and the thing’s caused much comment. Young Barton's been beau- ing her around a good deal lately. But I noticed tonight he brought Paul Barl's daughter—Alice, her name 1s, A fine little girl!” “The other girl would ruin any man,” returned the other lightly, as he threw away his cigar and they re- turned to the ballroom. A couple came out on the veranda and occupied the bench around the corner left vacant by the two men. Then sudden perspiration stood out on his forehead, for the couple was no other than Alice Bart and Guy Pilson, a wealthy young fellow who was visit- ing in Edgetown. And before he knew it, Barton was made witness to the latter’s proposal of marriage. There was not much sentiment about it. It was evident that Pilson wanted a beautiful, accom- plished woman to grace his millions, and Alice wanted millions to back her beauty and accomplishments. Presently they returned to the ball- went in to find Miss Barl, During the ride home, her quiet, “Matthews is right—she's fine and— Dr. Von Esdorf, who is now in Tampico helping to make it healthful, is one of the great malaria experts of the American public health service.
