"This Is too beautiful to ro through
bo fast," Daphne cried. "It's wonder
ful. We ought to walk. Promiso mo
wo can wall: home. It's such a gor
geous night."
"You're crazy, darling," ho enld.
"I've got to cot to my ofllec tomorrow,
and you've got to get homo for break
fast." "All right for you," sho pouted. Hut
It was none too serious n tragedy, and
her spirits revived when the tnxlcub
turned In through tho shrubs about tho
old Inn that had onco been tho homo
of Napoleon's brother and had heard
tho Inughtcr of Thcodosln Burr and of
Betty Jumcl in their primes.
Daphne did not llko the tablo tho
head waiter led them to. It missed
both the brcczo and the view.
"Can't wo elt over there?" Bho said.
"I'll Bee."
Tho head wnltor camo reluctantly to
his beck. When Clny asked for 'tho
table, tho answer was curt:
"Sorry, sir; It Is reserved."
Clay felt insulted. Do whipped out
his pockctbook und rebuked the tyrant
with n bill. He thought It was a one
dollar bill, but ho saw n "V" on It Just
as the Bwlft and subtlo head waiter
absorbed It without seeming to. To
ask for it back or for change was ono
of tho most Impossible things la tho
world.
Clay mado it as easy for his new
slave as ho could.
"I don't think you understood which
tablo I meant," ho said, pointing to tho
ono ho had indicated before. "That
one."
"Oh, that ono I" said tho head wait
er. "Certainly, sir."
lie L-d tho way, beckoning waiters
'and omnibuses and snapping his fin
gers. Clay ordered a supper as chastely
perfect ob a sonnet. It showed that ho
had both native ability and education
In the urt of ordering n meal, no Im
pressed even tho head waiter, and that
Is a triumph. That was Clay's pur
pose. Also ho wanted to preserve his
eclf-respect and tho wnltcr's nttcntlon
In tho faco of tho supper that was be
ing ordered at tho next table. That
waB well ordered, too, but it was not
o sonnet: it wns a rhapsody, ic wus
ordered by a man whoso guests had
not yet arrived. When Clay hnd db
"patched his waiter ho whispered to
Daphne:
"Sco that fellow. That's Thcaias
Varlck Duane, ono of tho wettest
known bachelors In Now York. Ho was
crazy about Leila."
"Not Bayard's Leila I"
"Yes. That's really why Bayard got
married bo quick. Ho was afraid Tom
Duano would steal her. Nlco enough
fellow, but too much money l"
' Daphno looked at tho big man, and
caught him looking nt her with a fa
vorablo appraisal. Sho stared him
down with a cold self-possession of
tho American girl who will neither
flirt nor flinch. Dunno yielded and
turned his eyes to Clay, recognized
blm, and nodded.
"Hello, Wlmburnl H'ah ya?'
"Feeling fairly snappy," said Clay.
Duano showed a willingness to come
over and bo presented, but Clay kept
him off with a look llko a pair of push
ing hands.
Duano loitered about, waiting for
his guests. Ho looked lonely. Daphno
felt a mixture of charity and snobbery
in her heart Sho whispered to Clay:
"Invito tho poor fellow over hero till
his guests come. I'm dying to bo nblo
to tell tho pcoplo at homo that I met
tho great Duaue."
Again Clay shook his head.
"And that you introduced blm to
mo."
Clay nodded. Ho beckoned Duano
over with hardly raoro than u motion
of tho eyebrows. Duano enmo with a
flattering engerness. Ho put his hand
out to Clay; and Clay, rising, mado
tho presentation.
"You're not related to Bayard Kip,
I hope," Duano eald, with nn amiable
frown.
"He's my brother. "Why?"
"I owe him a big grudge," said
Dunne, "no stolo his wlfo from me,
Just as I was fulling madly In love
with her. Beautiful girl, your now sis
ter." "I've never Been her," said Daphne.
"Beautiful gtrll" ho sighed. "Much
too good for your Brother, Infinitely
beyond me. Why don't you both move
over to my tablet Miss Kemblo Is to
bo thcro with her manager. Mighty
jelover girl Miss Kemblo. Havo you

"Wo wcro there tonight," Bald Daph
ne. "Slio'3 glorious 1"
"Como on over find play In our yard,
then."
Daphne had never met n famous
actress. Sho was wild to Join tho
group and to know Tom Duane better.
But Clay spoko with nn Icy ilnnllty.
"Thanks, old man. We've already
ordered." Ho still stood, and he had
not Invited Dunno to sit down.
Tom Dunne looked at Daphno and
smiled like a boy rebuked. "All right,
I'll go quietly. I know when I'm
kicked out. But next tlmo I won't go
so easily. Good night."
Ho put his warm, friendly hand out
again to Daphno and to Clay, who
nodded hlra away with an appalling In
formality, considering how great ho
was.
Other pcoplo camo In, eomo of them
plainly sightseers, somo of them per-
Bonnges of qunllty. Everybody seemed
happy, clandestine, romantic. This
wns life as Daphno wanted to live It.
But at length Bho yawned, ncr little
hand could not conceal the contortion
of her features.
"I'm gloriously tired, honey," sho
confessed, with a lovablo intimacy.
"It's the most beautiful Bupper I ever
had, but I'm sleepy."
Ho smiled with Indulgent tenderness
and snld to tho waiter, "Check l"
Dnphno turned her eyes away de
cently as tho Blip of pnper on a plato
was set at Clny's elbow. But Bho
noted thnt ho started violently as ho
turned the bill over nnQ met it face to
face. Ho studied it with tho grim
heroism of ono reading a death-warrant
Tho amount staggered him. no
turned pale. He recovered enough to
say to tho waiter, "You've given mo
tho wrong check."
Tho waiter shook his head. "Ob,
nossnlr I"
Clay studied It ngnln. no called for
tho bill of fare, and studied that.
Daphno felt so nshnmed that sho want
ed to lenp Into tho river. Abroad, It Is
believed that tho man who docs not
audit his restaurant bill Is cither an
American tourist or some other kind
of fool. But in Daphne's set it wus
considered tho net of a miser. Cluy
worked over his check as If It wero a
trial balance.
"Ah, I thought so," ho growled. "Tho

You've charged mo three dollars for
two portions."
A look of pitying contempt twisted
tho wnltcr's fimlle.
"Tho melon you ordered, Balr, was
all out. I served you a French melon
Instead."
"Why didn't you tell mo?"
"I deed not theenk It mcttcred to tho
gentlaman."
Clay sniffed. Ho wns not to bo
quieted by such a sop, no whipped
out his pockctbook and laid down
every bill In It. Uo Btrctched his legs
nnd ransacked his trousers pockets
and dropped on tho plato cvury coin ho
had. Ilo withdrew n dlmo nnd waved
tho heap nt tho waiter.
It was evident, from tho way tho
waiter snatched tho plato from tho
table, that Clay had not tipped him. In
fact, Clay said, "This will bo a lesson
to you."
They slumped down tho steps. Tho
stnrtcr Bald, "Cab, sir?" nnd made to
whlstlo ono up. Clay shook his head
nnd walked on toward tho monument
of Grnnt. Daphno followed. They
went as humbly as a couple of paupers
evicted for the rent.
Daphno wns afraid to fipenk. ,Shc
saw that Clny was sick with wrath,
and sho did not know him well enough
to bo sure how ho would lako her In
terference In his thoughts. Sho trudged
nlong In utter shnme.
Tho worst of her shamo was that
sho was so ashamed of It. Why should
sho caro whether a waiter smiled or
frowned? But she did care, infinitely.
Dnphr.e could not pump up uny en
thusiasm for the scenery. llcr lover
took no ndvnntago of tho serial of
arbors and tho embracing bowers. He
never kissed her, not once.
Daphno ceased to be sorry for Clay
nnd felt sorry for her neglected self.
Then she grow ungry nt herself. Then
nt him.
At length sho snld, with ominous
sweetness, "Aro you going to walk all
tho way, dear?"
"You said you wanted to, didn't
you?" ho mumbled, thickly.
"Thnt's so."
Sho trudged some dlstanco farther
n few blocks it was; It seemed miles.
Then Bho said, "How far is It home
altogether?"
"About three miles nnd n half."
"Is that all? The hcrotno of nn
English novel I'vo been reading used
to dash off five or six miles beforo
breakfast"
Patriotism nnd prldo helped her for
a quarter of a mllo more. Then sho
resigned:
"I guess Tm not nn English heroine.
I don't bcllovo sho ever really did it.
I'll resign I I'll havo to nsk you to call
mo n cab."
"Pretty hnrd to And nn empty one
nlong hero at this hour," ho said, and
urged her on.
"Let's go over thnt way to the In
habited part of town," eho said, "and
tako a street car or tho Bubwoy."
And then ho stopped nnd said, with
guilty brnsqucrle, "Have you got your
pockctbook with you?"
"No, I left It nthorao tonight. Why?"
"Dnphne, I haven't got n cent I"
"Why, Clay I you poor thing l"
"Thnt's why I wus so rough with tho
waiter. If I'd had tho money, do you
think I'd hnvo mndo a row before y.ou
about a few Httlo dollars? Never I You
see, I didn't expect to go out to Clare
mont nfter tho theater. Tho taxi cost
moro thnn I expected, nnd then I gave
tho head waiter five dollars l'stead of
ono. I ordered with enro so thnt it
would como out right But that busi
ness nbout tho melon finished me. I
just mado it I never was bo ashamed
in my life. And I had to drag you Into
It, and now I'm murdering your poor
little feet."
"That's tho funniest Joke I ever
henrd. Why didn't you tell mo before?"
"It's no Joke."
"Why. of courso it isl You have
only to go to your bank tomorrow and
draw some more."
Ho did not nnswer this. He snld
nothing nt nil. Sho had a terrified feel
ing that his sllcnco was full of mean
ing, thnt his bank account would not
respond to his cull. Sho could not nsk
him to explain tho situation. Sho was
afraid that ho might
Sho marched on doggedly, growing

Her Httlo slippers with their stilted
heels pinched nnd wavered, and every
step wns a pang.
"Let's co over there and get on a
street car, and daro them to put us
off," sho suggested.
"It's a pny-as-you-enter car," ho
groaned.
The world was a different world
now. The drlvo that had been so tre
mendously lovely ns she sped through
It In a taxlcab was a pnthway in Mo
Jave. Sho limped through tho hideous,
hateful, unpnrdonnblo length, nnd felt
thnt it was a symbol of tho life ahead
of her. Sho had counted on escnplug
from tho money limits of her home.
Sho was merely transferring herself
from ono Jail to another.
ncr young lover hnd dazzled her
with his heedless courtship, flown away
with her on motor wings, dipping to
earth now and then to elp refresh
ments nt n high cost, and then swoop
ing off with her ngaln.
And now his wings had broken ; his
gasoline wn3 gone; his motor burnt
out; and tho rest of the Journey was
to bo tho snmo old trudge.
Sho had bcon leaning heavily on
Clay's arm. Now sho put It away from
her In n mlxturo of pity for him nnd
of Belf-rcproof. When he protested,
sho said:
"I think I'll wnlk better nlono for n
while."
So sho hobbled nnd hobbled by her
self, ho pleading to bo allowed to help
her. But Bho kept him awny.
And they crept on a Httlo farther,
loving each other pltoously.
In tho courso of tlmo they renched
tho Soldiers' nnd Snllors' monument,
and Daphno sank down nt tho base of
It
"I enn't go any farther," Bho said,
"not If I dlo of starvation." Ilo sank
down nt her Bide. Tho moon peered
celln of the monument, and seemed
to tilt its face to who side and smile.
A motorcar wont by with the sllonco
of n loping pnntlicr. Another car pass
ing It threw a calcium light on Tom
Duane ami his guests uud his chauf
feur. How gorgeously they sped I If
Daphno bad had a bit of luck she
would be with them, soaring on the
pinions of money, Instead of hobbling
on without It.
Dnphne took off her slippers nnd
fondled her poor abused feet as If they
wcro her children. But when she tried
to thrust thm back into her slippers
for a final desperate effort she almost
shrieked with tho hurt
"I'll havo to go the rest of tho wny
In my stocking feet," sho moaned.
"Not If I have to carry you," Clay
growled.
Beforo he had n chanco to carry out
his resolution a taxlcab that had de
posited it lures at an apartment house
above went bowling by with Its Hug
up.
Cluy ran out and howled nt It till It
stopped, circled round, find drew up by
tho bridle-path. Then lie ran to Daphne
and bundled her Into It, and gave her
address to thu driver.
"But how ure you going to pay him?"
sho sighed, blissfully, as they shot
ulong. "Not that I care at all."
"I haven't figured that out," said
Clay. "I'll drop you at home and then
take hltn to my club and see If I can't
borrow from somebody there. If I
can't, I'll give him my watch or the
light of his life."
"That's terrible 1" Daphno sighed.
"To think how much I have cost youl"
"Well, wanted to give you u good
time on your little visit," said Clay,
"and It's only two days till my next
sulnry day."
Her heart sank. Her guess wns
right Ills bank nccount was dry. It
had gurgled out In amusing her. She
felt that thcro was something hero
that would tukc a bit of thinking nbout
when she had rested enough to
think.
The taxlcab swung Into Fifty-ninth
street and drew up to the curb. Clny
helped Daphne out and said to the
chauffeur, "Walt t"
He said it with Just the tone he hnd
used when he said to the waiter,
"Check 1"
When Clay had kissed her his seven
teenth fnrcwell and wns wondering
how he could tear himself nwny from
her without bleeding to death, Dnphno
pressed the hell.
Instend of her drowsy mother open

in her curl-papers, Bnyard himself ap

"Bnyard I" Dnphne gasped ns she
sprang for him. "Whnt on earth

"Money gave out," ho laughed.
"ncllo, Clay," ho said as he put
forth his hand. "Mother tells me

CHAPTER VI.
The meeting of Dnphno nnd her new
sister-in-law was not what either would
have expected or selected. Dnphno
wns tired In body and soul, discour
aged, footsore nnd dismayed nbout her
lovo nnd her lover. She hnd reached
tho door of the apartment In the mood
of a wnve-buffcted, outswuin enstaway,
eager for nothing but to He down In
tho sand nnd sleep.
Dnphne could imagine the feelings
of her brother's wife when she
renched her home nfter n long ocean
voynge, n night landing, the custom
house ordenl, nnd the cub ride among
the luggnge, and found n mother-ln-lnw
asleep In her bed and a slster-ln-law
yet to urrlvc I
Bnyard and Leila, serene In the be
lief thnt Daphne nnd her mother had
gono back to Cleveland, entered tho
apartment without formality nnd went
about switching on lights, recovering
their little home from the night with'
magic Instantnnclty.
Mother Kip's nwnkenlng came from
tho light that Bayard flashed In his
bedroom. Leila had n lovable dispo
sition, but she was tired, and all the
way up In the overloaded cab she had
thought longingly of the beautiful bed
In her own new home, und had prom
ised herself a quick plunge into It for
n long stay. How could sho rejoice to
find a strango woman there even
though sho bore the sacred name of
mother-In-luw?
Mother Kip ordered Bnyard nnd
Leila out of their own room nnd when
sho wns ready to be seen sho had so
many apologies to make nnd ncccpt
that the meeting entirely lacked tho
rapture it should hnvo expressed. Even
a mother could hardly be glad to see
her son In such discouraging circum
stances. All three exchanged ques
tions more und moro perfunctorily, and
kept repeating themselves. The most
popular question wns, "I wonder where
Daphno is?"
They could not know that sho was
hobbling down tho wilderness of Itlv

longingly of her bed. But long beforo
sho renched It her mother had moved

"Isn't she n dream, mother? Aren't

They agreed that she was nnd they
were, and Bayard drew his chair up to
the table with pride.
It was the bride's last breakfast and
the housewife's first. That Is, Leila,
was not really n housewife; only an
upartment wife, with nearly every
thing done for her except the spending
of her time. She hnd to spend her own
