Engaged to !riend John?" “Maybe,” she answered, without ralsing her eyes. But Harry Gloster only laughed. “I've broken the ice for you, then. Here comes a couple to get you, €hall I let them have you?" And at this, finally, ehe looked up. They were great brown eyes, In- deed, and filled with an almost too perfect meekness. “Can you help 1t?" she asked. “Say the word agd I'll show you | the trick.” Some of the meekness left her eyes and a glimmer of mischlef took its place, "It you can—" she said. It was done with miraculous skill. A slight increase in their speed— they whirled toward one prospective and eager-faced tagger, then away from his reaching fingertips—then toward the other, and away again, like a leaf which wind currents throw up and down, suddenly, but never with jar or jerk. | “How in the world did you do it?" she was laughing up to him. | He drank in that laughter, frank- | ly, meeting her eves as he had| never met the eyes of any woman | before, What did it matter? She was only a ghost. The reality was far away, fleeing through the haze of moonshine | “You're going to forget John - for this one dance,” he command- ed. “You're engaged to me, under- stand — for five minutes!” “What do you mean?’ Nell ‘Yeu know what 1 mean.” He dogged an aggressive tagger ard then 4 on. “If John does Eet was saying, “‘on this round, l~f n furious.” “It does John good to de turious,” answered Gloster. “We're teo happy to he hothered. “We 2" “You are or will be to make up for (n.ri‘nvu"z 1.- on w; it come was tagging you" hl! gasped | “Taking you ainutes, you understan sea how much action we time—"" And after that—" “I'm going away.

Before themn was the moonlight world. CHAPTER VIII An Outlander Offends There was no lack of brains be- hind the level black brows of John Gainor, His temper was as eager and as sanguinary as that of any man, but he was possessed of a controlling discretion. When, after having tagged Gloster, he saw the big man dance eerenely on, his first impulse was to jump at his throat/ |and tear him away, But th every | size of Harry Gloster was enotgh [to make Gainor doubly thoughtful, 8o, instead of acting on the first rash Impulse, he stepped back to consider the situation again. Had 1t been the first time that Nell had stepped from the conventional ¢ifth, passion might have carried him away, but he had watched her flirting & dozen times, and this was simply the old story retold, he de cided, Tt would not do to make him self ridiculous befure the crowd. Agaln, he was by no means sure how far he ecouwld go with Nell Whether she was in love with him or with his father's ranch he had never been quite able to make up his mind, On occasion he presumed on the rights of being her fance, | but thote occasions wers few and far botween, So far, 80 godd. But it he tempt- | ed her agaln, might she not filng away from him and wreck all his hopes with a single flery sentence? He knew her well enough to feel| the danger. And this, plus the phyb lcal dimensions of Harry Gloster. | made him pause to consider. Tn anothér moment he was glad that he had delayed, for Gloster was tagged by half a dozen other men, and yet still went seérenely on and showed mot the slightest in. tentlon of abandoning Rhis paetne It was not Gainor alone who had been insulted, but a whole group of men, and every one of them was on fire with rage. Moreover, they were not fellows to lie down under such an fasult. In fact, they were such men that he could not imagine what had let Nell permit her partner to offend them, Something most egtraordinary must have happened to sweep Nell off her feet in such & fashion. Nel was transformed and radiant in the arms of his big man, Ehe leaned back in them and looked up to him with laughter on her lips. But Gainor took no hasty steps It was not until he saw the ceuple swing off the dance floor at the end of the hall and disappear through the door that he began to act on the offensive.
