1 clla said nothing, but thought hard,
Huvard was silent. Later the door-hell
ran:' and a young sewing girl brought
two big boxes from Dulllh's: They
were ho big that there was no conceal
In', them. Leila made a timid effort to
escape with hers, but Bnynrd was full
of a cheerful, curiosity:
"What's all that, honey?"
"Oh, It's Just n a little thing I
picked up today at Dutllh's."
"What Is It, a scarf or something?
(Jive a fellow a look at It."
lie began to untie the knot. Sealed
iu-oss this cord wns an envelope, with
ii statement. Bnyni'd tore It free.
Leila snatched at It. Bayard laughed
and dodged her. Leila pursued. It
wi a ghustly game of tag for her, and
Daphne and her mother looked on In
guilty dread. Bayard, whooping with
liiughlor, dashed Into his room and
elo'-rd the door, held It fast while Leila
pounded mid pleaded with him.
ills laughter was iiuenched sharply.
There was a silence. Ho opened the
door and walked out, a sickly pallor at
IiIh lips, I lie statement In his hand:
"This can't bo right, honey: 'Bayard
Kip to Dutllh, debtor, l'each-blow

Jive dollars.' The price Is ridiculous,
am) I have no account there."
"Jle lie Insisted on my opening

"lint I don't want to open any nc

or discount them for cash. I can't pay
'this In thirty days. Every penny I
can seo ahead of me Is laid out."
"I I'm sorry," Leila faltered. "You
isald tho times were getting better."
"1 thought thoy were. I hoped they

aides, I was trying to cheer you up,
to glvo you a happy honeymoon. And
I bought you everything you saw
Abroad. And It wusn't enough I When
vlll you get enough clothes 1"
Leila hud stared Incredulous at tho
calamitous result of her tender Im
pulse to beautify herself In his eyes.
Then tenrs came gushing and she ran
to her room and locked the door.
Bayard did not follow her. He
turned for comfort to his mother and
Daphuc. lie noted tho other box.
Daphne had not dared to Open It.
Bayard ripped tho envelope from Its
cord and read:
"Bnynrd Kip to Dutllh, Dr. Pnrch-ment-toned
gown, for Miss Daphne
Kip, two hundred and seventy-live dol
lars." He was pnrchuient-toncd himself as
lie shook tho statement at Daphne,
and whispered, huskily, "What's this?"
Daphne could not muster any cour

morse, "I snw a gown that I I needed

money."
Bajurd was choked with wrath and
a terror greater than hers.
"I go to my olllco and work llko a

mo Into debt for llvo. hundred ami
fifty dollars. And tho Jinn, tho big

for seven hundred mid fifty because

Ills mother tried to stem the tldo of
Bayard's rage, to turn his wrath with
ti soft answer:
"I guess It's all my fault, honey. Tho
drcsf0H looked so pretty on tho girls 1
, urged them to take them. You ought
to see how beautiful they are. Go put
the dress on, Daphne, and let your
brother sou how sweet you look In It."
"Sweet I She looks sweet In It 1 It's
beautiful t And that Justifies anything.
Lord, what did you muku 'em out of,
theso women!"
Mrs, Kip nudged Daphne and whis
pered, "Oo on, put the dress on; let
him see you In It."
She spoke with great cnunlness, but
Daphne stared at her with derision,
and edged away mid spoke In u tono
am Idling as cold blue vitriol.
'Tut It on, mother I Do you think
I'd ever woar thu thing? I'll send It
hack tomorrow morning at daybreak.
And I'll never take a thing thnt any

any mnn pays for, eh? What are you
going to live on air?"
She nnswered him, grimly, "There
aro several million women In this
country earning their own living, and
I'm going to ho one of them,"
Ills commcnl was a barking, "Hnhl"
Sho lugged the box away to her room.
Bayard Hung himself Into a. chair and
listened to the cauldron of his own
hateful thoughts. Gradually they
ceased to bubble and stew. He could
hear now tho muflled beat of Leila's
sorrow. Ho resisted It for a while,
sneered at It, raged at II, and then at
the cruelty of the world.
Leila's sobs had stopped now and
Bayard listened for them anxiously.
Perhaps she hud died of grief. A lasso
seemed to have caught him about tho
shoulders; It was dragging him to tho
door.
He went there at last, and listened.
Ho heard a low whimpering, unendur
ably appealing. He tapped on tho door
and called through It.
"Leila, honey love, forglvo me. I've
seen the Utile gown. It's beautiful.
You shall havo It and a dozen like It.
l'lease forglvo mo und lovo me again.
And I'll buy you anything you want.
Please. Please don't keep mo stand
ing outside your door. Honey! Leila
lovo I"
The door opening, ho slipped
through to take refuge with Ids Leila.
A moment later the doorbell rang.
Dnphne checked (hu maid whose ears
hatl been fascinatingly entertained,
and (old her that If tho caller were
Mr. Wlmhurn ho was to wait ouUdde
In 'the hall. It was Wlmhurn and
Daphne went out to hint. Ho greeted
her with tho zest of a young lover.
Daphne gave him a cold cheek to kiss,
mid then, pulling her engagement ring
from her finger, placed It 111 his hand.
"What whnt's this, Daphne?" he
stuttered.
"It's your ring. I'm giving It hack.
Tho engagement Is off-lnilcllnltcly."
"Kor heaven's sake, why? What
havo I done?"
"Nothing. Neither havo I. But I'm
going to do something."
"Wha.t are you going to do, Daphno?"
"I don't know hut something."
"Don't you lovo mo any more?"
"Just as much us over more than
ever. And I'll prove It, too."
"Prove It by putting tho ring buck
on." "Never I Send It back and save your
money. That's what I'm going to do
wljli what 1'vo bought KIbs mo good
night and go, please."
Sho left him outside and closed tho
door as lovingly as sho could.
While Clay waited for tho elevator
to como up and take him down ho
stared at tho ring with sheep's eyes,
tossed It, and caught It' awkwardly,
and laughed mid almost spoko his
thought aloud:
"Kunny thing. I haven't paid for It
yet. Got an Insulting letter from tho
Jeweler, too, this very afternoon."
Hut Daphne was thumbing tho tele
phone book to see If she could find
Tom Dunne's number.
CHAPTER Vlll.
Sho failed to run Dunno to earth in
the telephone hook. She was at a loss
for another source of directions. She
was new to New York and did not
know how to set out on such a pur
suit. Sho went to her room, und found
her mother there, dismally engaged In
writing a letter to her father, breaking
to him thu dreadful news thnt tho
trousseau was to cost far iioro for far
less. Sho was asking for extra money
at once. Daphno smiled bitterly and
said: "Hub It out and do It over again,
manima. There ain't goln' to ho no
trousseau, No wedding hells for me."
Mrs. Kip rolled large eyes In Daph
ne's direction and looked deaf. Daphno
held out her denuded engagement lin
ger In proof that she mid Clay wero
detrothed.
"Good gracious I" was Mrs. Kip's
profane comment, "Why ou outih did
you"
"Beoatifio I'm too oxpiimdvo for nim."
"What aro you going to do go back
to Cleveland and tull everybody that
you're not going to get married, after
nil (his trouble?"
"No. I'm not going buck tr OIv.j.

land, nnd I am going to get married
but later, much later."
"I huto conundrums," said Mrs. Kip.
"Better tell mc the nnswer, for I won't
guess. What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to lend n hand," sold
Dnphne. "Do my shnre. Get n Job
and cam my board nnd keep."
"Heaven help us I You've gono
crazy I" Mrs. Kip exclaimed. "You get
to bed and you'll feel better In the
morning. I'll finish my letter,"
Sho added, unbeknownst to Dnphne,
u postscript as long us the letter, con
tradicting all she had Just written nnd
urging her husband to come Kast at
once and take charge of his unruly
daughter. She dropped It In the mall
chute, and It fell into a bottomless pit,
along with her other hopes.
Daphne and her mother were uneasy
at the prospect of the breakfast en
counter with the brldnl couple. There
had been a sense of strain the first
morning. But now a hitter quarrel had
Intervened that first ugly quarrel
when the wedge of finance Is driven
between united hearts.
Bayard and Leila, however, arrived
at the tnble all smiles, more amorous
than ever. Lelln wore a triumphant
smile, such ns .Delilah must havo worn
tho second time she went out walking
with her big beau..
It was plain to tho anxious eyes of
Mrs. Kip and Daphne that Lelln had
emerged from tho quarrel with all the
loot and aggravated power.
Sho had taken advantage of her hus
band's trust and abused Ids generosity
recklessly, with no more evil motive,
Indeed, than the wish to beautify her
self In his honor, nnd yet with reck
lessness. It was not altogether Leila's fault
If tho lesson she learned, perhaps un
consciously, from the combat was
something llko this:
"I run my husband into debt with

buying something we can't afford.
When I want anything I must get it.
I shall bo scolded, then kissed nnd
treated with nwe. If I hadn't bought
It I wouldn't have had It, nor the
bonus that goes with It. If wo hud not
quarreled wo should havo missed the
rapture of 'making up. "
This Is one of tho first lessons that
certain sorts of husbands teach to cer
tain sorts of wives.
When tho man of tho house had de
parted for his ofjlce, and the waiter
had carried off tho breakfast relics,
tho three women wero left alone In a
completely feminine conclave. They
faced Hfo llko three Norns: tho old
mother, the new wife, and the deferred
wife, each from her coign of disadvan
tage.
Tho two married women turned on
tho maid, with common resentment.
They were married and dependent and
sho had her Independence. They were
Tories and sho a Whig. It was their
privilege to rail at things as they were,
hut it was their religion to frown on
changing them. Mrs. Kip senior spoke
for Mrs. Kip Junior.
"Now, Daphne, tell us what Is this
new foolishness nil about?"
Daphne answered, stoutly: "It's not
foolishness. Wa tho llrat glimmer of
sense I've ever had. I'm sick of tho
Idea of always living on tho mercy of
some man, taking his charity or his
extravagance. I've always been a drag
on poor daddy, and I was getting rondy
to shift my weight over to poor Clny's
buck. But I don't think a woman
ought to bo dependent ou n man. I
think she ought to hour hor bhare of
tho burden."
;-

out. "As If the home weren't jusl ns
much labor as the ofllce."
Leila attacked her from another di
rection. "For goodness' snke, Daphne,
don't lose your head. Don't you Im
agine for u moment that a husband
will be happier and love his wife hot
ter because sho earns wages. The
harder you work for men, tho better
they llko somebody else. The harder
a man works for you the better he
likes you. Best of nil, he loves tho
woman that tries to break him."
Daphne's answer was a snappy: "I
don't believe It! I'd despise a man
that felt that way."
The three women wrangled with
wise saws and modern Instances, and
they were In a perilous state of dis
sension when the telephone rang. Leila
answered It and her outcries of Indig
nation alarmed Mrs. Kip and Daphne
till they learned tho cause.
Bayard had called up to say that
the luncheon party must be postponed.
Qutrngcuus business hud nmdo anoth
er Insidious attack on love.
Leila enmo from the telephone in u
slate of desperation mitigated by the
fact that Bayard had asked her to
take his mother and Daphno shopping
und buy them and herself something
worth while as an atonement for his
abandonment.
So they set forth ugaln on another
onset against the rnmpnrts of beauty.
To tho silent horror of Daphne nnd
her mother, Leila was persuaded to
buy a new coat and n new hat and to
pay for them by the convenience of
opening' two new accounts at the sug
gestion of two soapy salesmen. Bay
ard's surrender after his first battle
had already accomplished the expect
able result.
Everything was tho very latest thing
nnd yet was marked down. But Daph
ne priced things now with a new soul.
She was thinking In the terms of
wuges and toll.
She wns going to-curn fifty thousand
a year some day, but she supposed
that at first she would earn very little
twenty-flvo dollnrs a week, perhaps.
For the first time In her existence
she vividly understood how all theso
fairy tissues wero the products of hu
man labor, paid for with wages mid to
ho sold for other wages. Parls were
drops of sweat; perfumes were the
sighs of weary men ; soft fnbrlcs were
the hard spinning of human silkworms.
Bayard was even now racking his
brain t accumulate what three wom
en wore squandering.
So Daphne meditated as she had
never meditated before and might not
often mcdltnto again. Sho refused to
buy a tiling. Her mother could only
explain her mood ns a symptom of an
Illness and advise her to get home to
bed. There was something suspicious
In the condition of a girl who could
look with qujilins of conscience or ap
petite on such a banquet.
At length fatigue and falntness re
minded Mrs. Kip, senior, thnt she had
not eaten and the hour was late. Sho
.called for her luncheon nnd they went
together to a tearoom. Here Daphne
hnd nnother attack of eccentricity; a
stubborn determlnatlpji to go home
and send back to Dutllh the wicked
gown that she had bought of hint on
credit.
Sho had left tho house without re
turning it and she wns afraid that
there would he difficulties if she de
layed. Fortunately there had been no
alterations In tho gown.
Perhaps there Is no form that satan
takes oftener than that of a fashion
able gown. In thnt shape ho offers
women the conquest of tho world. But
Dnphne resisted him and snid to Leila :
"Get theo behind me, satan 1 I'm go
ing to return this gown nnd let Dutllh
glvo Bayard credit for It. I won't look
at another gown till I can pay for it
out of my own enrnings. I'll not get
mnrrlcd till I can buy the rest of my
trousseau myself. I've decided thnt
an Independent woman must buy her
own trousseau."
Even In the eyes of ambition this
promised to require n fairly long
period a period so lenghty that she
wondered If Clay's lovo would outlust
It.
She did lovo him mul the thought
of losing lit in alarmed her more than
the thought of losing tho precious
gown.
Leila woke from her meditation with
a sudden "Come along; wo must dress
for tho tea-fight."
Mrs. Kip, senior, amused the young
Kljis by thinking aloud: "I wonder If
thnt nice Mr. Dunne will bo at the
ten."
"Oh! shamle shame 1" cried Leila.
"It's a regular Intrigue. No, he won't
bo there. Telephone him at tho Rac
quet club and he'll comu to you. He's
usually there."
Sho did not seo tho start .tho artless
hint gave Daphne, who bud learned by
accident what she had not known how
to llnd out otherwise. Daphne con
cealed her agitation In tho briskness
with which sho concluded tho affair of
the Dutllh gown. She folded It up mid
laid It back- In tho box as if It were a
baby she wns about to leave on li door
step. She ktasod It good-hy and put
I he lid over It and tied It up with n
crazy combination of strings of vuri-
ssisasawjaav!.

She refused to go to tho ten pnrty,
now that the gown was lost, nnd hIio
sold sho had letters to write.
But when her mother and Lelln had
left her she wrote only one letter a
note of regretful rejection to Dutllh. i
She pinned It to tho box nnd sent It
off by a messenger. Then she tele
phoned to Tom Dunne.
She did not quite realize the pmer
ity of culling a man at his club, and
Tom Dunno misunderstood her, lm
puted her innocence to Its opposite. He
remembered her ns a pretty thing. If
sho were brazen well, ho liked brass

Immediate moment at the cost of
breaking an engagement at tennis.
Ho asked her if she would not meet
him somewhere for tea, but she paid
thnt she preferred to seo him at her
brother's apnrtmcnt. Ills invitation
aroused her suspicion, ner invitation
confirmed his.
Daphne's heart was bcntlng excited
ly while sho wnlted for him nnd she
began to feel thnt sho had put herself
In n wrong light. When Dunno ar
rived nnd the maid showed him into
the living room Dnphne tried to re
deem herself by n businesslike direct
ness. "Mr. Duanc, you must think it very
peculiar of mo to drag you up here."
"I think it's mighty kind of you."
"You say that before you hear what
I'm going to ask you. I'm going to
ask you to do me a tremendous fa
vor." "Thnt will bo doing me a tremen
dous favor," he said.
Then she nmazed him with her re
quest: "You offered yesterday of
course I know you didn't mean It hut
you offered to get me a Job with a
theatrical manager."
Duane's hospitable smile hnrdened
Into a grimace of anxiety. He mum
bled, "Oh, yes."
"You know Mr. Raven or whatever
his name Is very well, don't you?"
"Mr. Rebcn oh, yes yes, I know
him fairly well."
"I want to go on the stage. Would
you dare Introduce me to Mr. Rchen?"
"Indeed I will, nnd proud to do it"
"Do you think he'll give me a
a Job?"
"I'll make him."
"How can I over repay you?"
Her hand went out to him nnd ho
took It and squeezed It, and It
squeezed back gratefully. But he did
not let go. Dunne seemed to be ex
cited suddenly. '
Daphne drew hor hand back, but his
cume with it, und he followed close
upon. There wns a look in his eyes
that made her unensy. His yolce was
uncertain as he snid:
"You enn repay me easily enough,
If you want to."
"I do. But how? How?" she asked
anxiously, not quite daring to wrench
her hand free.
"By by being by being kind to
me." .
"Kind? How?"
IIo did 'not nnswer with words, bnt
he lifted her hand with both of his
to his lips. It wns an act of old
fangled gallantry that could hardly
be resented. But, manlike, having
made a formal surrender, he tried to
tnko command. One hand held hens,
the other swept round her shoulders
and pressed her against him, without
romjhncss yet with strength. His lips
mocd now, not toward her hand, but
toward the sacrcdness of her mouth.
The future seems bright to
Daphne as she Is given what
she believes Is the opportunity
to realize her ambition. So few
difficulties are in the way at the
beginning that she cannot see
those that may loom up In the
future.
