mnlnotl alone until tho moment that
Kvo, either by request or by accident,
had found her there. Tho facts re
solved themselves Into ono question:
What two hail Lillian nindo of those
solitary moments? Without deviation,
Lodor's mind turned townrd one
nnswor. Lillian was not tho woman
to lose an opportunity, whether the
space at her coinmnnd wns long or
short.
So convinced was lie that, reaching
Trafalgar square, ho stopped and
hailed a hansom.
"Cadogan gardens!" he called. "No.
Tho moments seemed very few be
fore the cab drew up beside the curb
and ho caught his second glimpse of
tho enameled door with its silver fit
tings. Instantly he pressed the boll the
door was opened by Lillian's discreet,
deferential iiiiiin-ci'vmit.
"Is Lady Astrupp at homo?" be
asked.
Tho man looked thoughtful. "Her
ladyship lunched at homo, sir" ho be
gan cautiously.
I'.ut Loder Interrupted him. "Ask her
to see me," he said laconically.
Tho servlint expressed no surprise.
His only comment was to throw the
door wide.
"If you'll wall in the white room,
sir." he mild, "I'll inform her ladyship."
Chileote was evidently a frequent and
a favored visitor.
In this manner Loder for the second
time entered the house so uufnmlllar
iiml yet so familiar in all that it sug
Rested, filtering the drawing room, lie
had iei-uire to look about him. It was
a beautiful room, largo and lofty. Lux
ury was evident on every baud, but It
w:i,s nut the luxury that pnIN or of
fends. Knch object was graceful and
possessed its own intrinsic value. The
alnuxphere was too effeminate to ap
peal to him, but he acknowledged the
taste and artistic delicacy it conveyed.
Almost at the moment of acknowledg
ment the door opened to admit Lillian.
"1 thought it would be you." she said
enigmatically.
Loder came forward. "You expected
mo?" he said guardedly. A sudden
conviction tilled him thnt It was not

LEGAL NOON.
-A Timo That Seems to Vary In tho
Different States.
Tho courts of several states have
- .ienlt with an odd question, none of
'diem agreeing upon a similar answer.
T.Mien is It legally noon? Fire insur
ance policies expire at noon, and tho
word m admitted to mean exactly 12
-'clock midday. Hut standard tlmo !
Jhas not been adopted in all communl
Ties. Many small towns cling to sun
idme, which may be from a few min
utes to nearly an hour earlier than
standard. In one state a lire occurred
-at two minutes past noon, sun time,
and the Insurance company held that
Uie policy had expired before the lire.
-Sun time is used In that town, but the
insured sued the company, holding that
local customs did not rule the policy
-and that he was entitled to ids Insur
ance. The stato courts sustained him.
In another stato a similar contention
wis taken to the courts and just tho
opposite decision given. Several con
Hiding precedents have been estab
lished In state courts, and It is said
tlio question can only be decided for
..good and all when a case lias been
carried into the United States courts

ilic evidence of her eyes, but something
at once subtler and more definite thai'
prompted her recognition of him.
She smiled. "Why should I expect
you? On tho contrary, I'm waiting to
know why you're here?"
lie was silent for an instant. Then
ho answered in her own light tone.
"As far as that goes," he said, "let's
make It my duty call -having dined
with you. I'm an old fashioned per
son." For a full second she surveyed htm
amusedly. Then at last she spoke.
"My dear Jack" she laid particular
stress on tho name-"! never Imagined
you punctilious. I should have thought
bohemlan would have been more the
word."
Loder felt disconcerted and annoyed.
Either, like himself, she was fishing for
Information or she was deliberately
playing with lilm. In his perplexity ho
glanced across the room toward the
fireplace.
Lillian saw tlio look. "Won't you sit
down?" she said, Indicating tho couch.
"I promise not to make you smoke. I
shan't oven ask you to take off your
gloves!"
Loder made no movement. His mind
was unpleasantly upsot. It was nearly
a fortnight since lie had seen Lillian,
and In the Interval her attitude had
chanued, and the change puzzled lilwi.
It might mean tho philosophy of a wo
man who, knowing herself without ade
quate weapons, withdraws from a com
bat (hat has proved fruitless, or It
might Imply the merely catlike desire
to toy with a cert-' '.v. He looked
quickly at the delle. face, the green
eyes nnewhat obliquely sot. the unre
liable mouth, and Instantly he inclined
to (he latter theory. The conviction
that she possessed the telegram tilled
him suddenly, and with it came the de
sire to put Ids belief to tho test--to
know beyond question whether her
smiling unconcern meant malice or
mere entertainment.
"When you tlrst came Into the room,"
he said quietly, "you said 'I thought it
would bo you.' Why did you say that?
Again she smiled tho smile that
might be malicious or might be merely
amused. "Oh," she answered at last,
"I only meant that though I had been
told Jack Chileote wanted me, It wasn't
Jack Chileote I expected to see!"
After her statement there was a
pause. Lodor's position was dllllcult.
Ins'lnetlvel convinced that, strong In
tho possession of her proof, she was en

the desire, he made a new beginning.
"Do you know why I came?" he
asked,
Lillian looked up Innocently. "It's so
hard to be certain of anything In thla
world," she tiald. "Hut ono is always
at liberty to guess."
Again he whs perplexed. Her attl
tudo was not qulto tho attitude of ono
who controls tho game, and yet Ho
looked at her with a puzzled scrutiny.
Vonicn for him had. always spelled tho
Incomprehensible. lie was at his best,
his strongest, his surcBt, In tho presence
of men. Feeling his disadvantage, yet
I determined to gain his cud, he made a
I last attempt.
"now did' you amuse yourself nt
Grosvenor square this morning before
i Kvo came to you?" ho asked. The ef
fort was awkwardly blunt, but it was
j direct.
I Lillian wns buttoning her glove. Sho
did not raise her head as lie spoke, but
her fingers paused In their task. For
a second she remained motionless; then
she looked up slowly.
"Oh," she said sweetly, "so I was
right In my guess? You did come to
I find out whether I sat in the morning
room with my hands In my lap or
wandered about In search of entertain
ment?"
Loder colored with nnnoyanco and
apprehension. Kvery look, every tone,
of Lillian's was distasteful to him. No
microscope could have revealed her
more fully to him thnn did ids own
eyesight. Hut It was not the moment
for personal antipathies; there were
other Interests than his own at stake.
With new resolution ho returned her
glance.
"Then I must still ask my first ques
tion. Why did you say, 'I thought It
would be you?' " Ills gaze was direct
so direct that It disconcerted her. She
laughed a little uneasily.
"Heeause I knew."
"How did you know?"
"Heeause" she began; then again
sho laughed. "Heeause," sho added
quickly, as If moved by a fresh Im
pulse. "Jack Chileote made it very ob
vious to any ono who was in ids morn
ing room at 12 o'clock today that it
would lie you and not lie who would
be found filling his place this after
noon. It s all very well to talk about
honor, but when one walks into an
empty room and sees a telegram as
long as a letter open on a bnrciu"
Hut her seutent e was never tin! bed.
Loder had heard what lie came t) bear.
Any confession she i:ilrht have to offer
was of no moment In bi eyes.
"My dear girl." lie hn'.-e in brusque
ly, "don't trouble. I should nrd.e a
most unsatisfactory father ennfe-or."
lie spoke quickly. Ilk color was still
high, but not of annoyan e. Ills sus
pense was transformed Into unpleasant
certainty, but the exchange left him
surer of himself. Ills perplexity laid
dropped to a quiet sense of self re
liance. Ills paramount desire was for
solitude in which to prepare for the
task that lay before him the most con
genial task the world possessed the
unraveling of Clillcote's tangled skeins.
Looking Into Lillian's eyes, he smiled.
"Goodby." he said, holding out ids
hand. "I think we've finished for today."
She slowly extended her fingers.
Her expression and attitude were
slightly puzzled a puzzlement thnt
was either spontaneous or singularly
well assumed. As their hands touched
the smiled again.
"Will you drop in at the Arcadian to
night?" she asked. "It's the drama
tized version of 'Other Men's Shoes"
The temptation to make you see It was
too Irresistible as you know."
There was a pause while she waited
for his answer, her head inclined to
one side, her green eyes gleaming.
Loder. conscious of her regard, hesi
tated for a moment. Then ids face
cleared. "Right!" he said slowly. "Tho
Arcadian tonight!"
