Melltta Vane, the queen of Ids own
ufi'cct ions.
Militta was, after a sort, compound
ed of saint and siren. Vividly beau
tiful, alive lo her linger tips, dancing
like a menad and sin;::ng like a 'brush
in June, she had undisputed right t
be first In the hearts of her country
men. Denning had no Intention ol
disputing the right when it came to
Poppy Sanders, there was another
story. Poppy had already more than
he deserved besides, he could not pos
sibly need Melltta as Denning himself
did. Hence, therefore and because
Denning set Idmself sedulously to the
supplanting Of ids friend. At first
cannily, covertly, but soon by open
and eager pursuit. He haunted her
waking hours, wrote to ber daily or
oftener, sent fine, small, well-chosen
gifts upon any occasion, or none, and
by clever maneuvering made himself
her social complement upon the most

that It was because of Mm a wom

man should have a chance to set his
Image In Melitta's breast. Since two
bodies cannot occupy the same spnee,
Penning was relying a lot upon pre
emptions. The sense of security they
bred In Mm went to bis head he not
only spent with both bands almost os

without ceasing in full stream, nil the

a warmth and earnestness unit amazed
himself. She listened, sometimes
laughing, sometimes yawning, giving

elfln oracles that made her more than
ever mnddenlng.
This could not hist forever. Two
careers were open to him whleh he

"Hid that bring you? Or Is it Just a

"Providence brought me, T think If

In a tliroaty voice he hardly recognized
