The girl called ‘Debs' yawned behind her gauntletted glove and looked about with dissatisfaction. “Lucille,” she addressed her com panion, “don't you get tired of all this sameness?—the same places to go, the sunie everlastingly conventional things to do,—” "Merey!" interrupted Lucille, “you have the blues, who is responsible?” “It's not blues.” Deborah denied, “I’m just tired to death of everything usual, that’s all.” “If X,” replied Lucille, “had been born with a lovely golden spoon in toy mouth. I should be able to find things to do without getting tired of them.” “What kind of things?” her friend demanded, "dancing with the same Idiotic fellows, driving, eating In places like this?” “This, I would huve you know,” Lu cille cheerfully responded, "Is the best club In town. My father belongs to It; that Is why you. as my guest, are priv ileged to be here.” Debs laughed. "Thanks for the pleasant reproach,” she said, "but really dear, you don’t know how 1 ache to do something un usual—and Interesting.” She leaned forward In sudden eagerness. "I believe if some unmarried mys terious unknown, garbed in gentle man's attire should step up and Invite mfc for—well even an afternoon drive or a matinee, I’d accept just for the dare of It." “No one will,” Lucille retorted, “even if you would he so reekless. The men of this club do not flirt promiscu ously. They are men of unquestioned good standing. “That Is Just why I would like one to amuse me for the afternoon, we could pnrt without even knowing each others nnmes, and be to each other ever after hut a pleasant memory.” "Fudge!” exclaimed Lucille. She arose smiling Indulgently down into her friend's pretty face. “Delis dear,” she said, “are you nev er going to find contentment?” “I’ll wait here awhile,” Deborah an swered irrelevantly, “liefore gotajr back to the house. I have shopping to dq, (Jo on to your engagement Lo cllle.” When t.uclile hud gone the girl closed her eyes wearily, to open them again at the sound of an agreeably modulated voice. The voice q«m* from a tine looking broad-shouldered man-person, who seated himself easily on the settee at her side. “In my chair behind the palms,” he said. “I heard all that you and your friend have been saying to each other, and I present myself as the desired ‘unmarried, mysterious unknown,’ In viting you for an an unusual after noon. Being a club member In good standing, vou may learn my creden tials at the desk.” Deborah South worth In all her young fortunate life had never been taken s© by surprise. “Thanks Mr. Unknown," she said “I will go with you. Do we drive, or Is It the matinee?” “We drive,” he answered briefly. “And return when?” “Five or six o’clock, as the time suits you.” His car, waiting at the street door, was a fine one, and the chauffeur, turning Immediately out through the trafile, followed evidently some former direction. Debs, leaning back, regarded her companion. “I suppose,”' she said “that when I think this over tomorrow. It will all seem foolish Indeed. Hut now—’’ she laughed, “really. Tm hav ing a good time.” “When you think it over tomorrow,” the hum answered gravely, "I hope that you will be glad you came. We are going through a dingy part of the city .Dltiglness.” he smiled suddenly with an expression that changed the thoughtful lines of his face to pure kindliness, “has not been much in youi line, i runty. “Not much,” Delia carele-'-ly replied. “Where are we now?" “In Potter street,” he told her. “The nnine Is doubtless unfamiliar to yon. We stop here.” The girl'stared. “Tlie stop here,” the man said, “In part of my ‘unusual afternoon’ for you. If you do not wish to carry out the program, you may refuse. I hare to visit here professionally. There Is no danger of contagion or anything of that sort. Just—” he paused, “a little woman with a broken arm. And a lit tle lad trying to look after her, and a >ahy. “I thought,” lie said, “that It would do the little woman good to see mother young woman's sweet face." And when, after a time, he arose to eave the poor room, Debs followed the doctor to the hall. “I am going to stay here,’’ she said shakily, “the whole afternoon. I never knew that such want and bravery ex ist eil.” “Then,” suld the big doctor, his kind ly smile softened Into tenderness* “I will come hack to end your adventure. Not all unusual times can be happy ones, yon see.” “I thank you for my afternoon,” De borah answered softly. “If you knew me better you would learn that I am not always reckless or foolish.” “I am going to know you better," the doctor said, and his. hand held hers la a warm clasp.
