(The names aod situations in this
story are fictitious.)
CHAPTER XXX“
UDREY'S hand was outstretched
as she crossed to where Parrish
was standing.
"Oh 2dr. Parrish " she said. sweet-
v.' “I've been whiting for you“
He looked astonished. "i said l'tl
be here at. seven." he said. "It isn't
quite seven yet." . ‘ ‘
‘ "I didn’t mean that." she told him.
"It just occurred to me that instead
niee if you and I went out some place
to eat. so we could dance a little."
"But aren't you tired?" he pro-
tested. "The last I saw of you this
afternoon. you looked as if you were
going to wilt."
She dimpled again at him. It was
the first time that she ever had trest-
ed him with such cordiality, and his
face was beaming.
"But I’m all rested now." she
said, “and I've been home so much
in the evenings that I'd like to go
some pl..ce."
Morton listened to this colloquy in
quiet amusement. "My dear.” he
said, “you'll be losing I. good cook
for me. Half the evenings you are
too tired to eat dinner. and new.
when dinner for three is almost
ready to serve. there'il be only one
here to eat it." ‘1
Elle smoothed his coat sleeve. 'Be
I good daddy and don't scold." she
urged. "I haven’t had any fun for a
long time, and Mr. Parrish tells me
that he can dance now. beautifully.”
Her maid appeared with a light
cape, and Audrey led Parrish out the
door. His face was resents with
pleasure. and be forgot to bid Morten
goodnight. His guitar remained be-
side the door. .
The older man stood thinking. for

back and moved to the center of the

with his knuckles. At last he turned

Returning to the subject of Au-
drey and Parrish, she went on:
"There was just one way to interest
that girl in Parrish. and that was to
make her think some other girl was
interested in him. too. And look how

He gave an exclamation of con-

don't mind if I sold your present?"
she asked him.
"Why didn't you tell me you

Horton rang for Audrey's maid.
and Nona followed the girl up to the
pretty dressing room at the head of
the stairs. She reappeared in a few
minutes. and Morton led her out to
dinner.
"Some cocktails." Morton told the
butler. as they sat down. "and let's
have some of that wine that Just
came in. Has it been chilled?"
The butler bowed.
“We‘ll have a little port. pretty

"There was something funny about
