instantly enraged: Ho blocked tho

Dal had gono up Just thom, nnd
round thom glaring at each other, Jim
with his hands clenched nt his sides
and Mr. Harbison with his nrmn fold-
ed and very erect. Dal took Jim by
tho einow ana led him downstairs,
muttering, nnd the situation wan
- saved for tho time. But Dal was not
optimistic.
"You can do a bit yourself. Kit." he
finished, "Look moro cheerful, flirt

It would bo charity anythow, Dut
don't lot Tom Harbison tnko It Into

"I have no. reason to think, that Mr.
Harbison cares orid way or the othor
nbolit mo." 1 said primly. "You' don't
think no's hos In lovo with mo. do
you, Dal?" I watched him out of tho
corner of my eyo, but ho only looked
amused.
"In lovo with you I" ho ropcated.
"Why, bless your wicked llttlo heart,

he's fighting for. If I hnd as much

Mnx interrupted us Just then, and
asked If wo knew whoro Mr. Harbison
was.
"Can't find him," ho said. 'Tvo got
tho telephono togothcr nnd havo
enough loft over to mako nnothor.
Whoro do you suppose Harbison hides

screw nnd two palette knives."
I honrd nothing moro of tho troublo
that night. Max went to Jim about
It, and Jim snld angrily Unit only a

retorted that a fool and his wives

It was dark in tho third floor hall,
and I had to feel my way to tho foot

turned tho knob of' tho door to tho

I could hear the wind howling out

out horo, In splto of tho storm. A
faint reflection i of tho street lights
made It possible to dlstlngush tho out
linos of tho boxwood plants, swaying
in tho wind, nnd tho chlmnoys and
tho tent And then a dork .figure
disentangled Itself from tho nearest
chimney and seemed to hurl Itself at
mo. I remember putting out my
hands nnd trying to say something,
but tho figure caught mo roughly by
tho shoulders nnd knocked mo back
against- tho dooj-frame. From miles
away a hoavy voice was saying, "So
I've got you!" and then tho roof gdvo
from under mo, nnd I was floating out
on tho storm, nnd sleet was beating
lh my face, and tho wind was whis
pering over nnd over, "Open your
oyes, for God a sako!"
I did open them nfter a while, and
Anally I mado out that I was lying on
the floor in tho tont. Tho lights woro
on, and I had n cold nnd damp feeling,
and something wot was trickling
down my neck.
I scorned to be alono, but In a sec
ond somobody camo Into tho tent, and
I saw It was Mr. Harbison, and that
ho had a doublo handful of half melt
ed snow.- Ho looked frantic and do
termlncd, and only my sitting up
quickly prevented my getting another
snow bath. My qieck felt queei and
stiff, and I wan very dizzy. Whon ho
saw that I was conscious he dropped
the snow, and stood looking down at
mo.
"Db you know," ho said grimly,
"that I very nearly choked you to
donth n llttlo while ago?"
"It wouldn't surprise mo to bo told
so," I said. "Do I know too much, or
what Is It, Mr. Harbison?" 1 felt ter
ribly ill, but I would not lot him seo
It. "It Is queer, Isn't it how wo al
ways select tho rof for our llttlo
differences?" Ho seemed to rolax
somewhat at my gibo.
"I didn't know U was you," ho ox
plained shortly. "I was waiting for
some ono, and in the hat you woro,
and tho cont, I mistook you. That's
all. Can you stand?"
"No," I retorted. I could, but his
summary manner displeased mo. Tho
sequel, howovor, was rather amazing,
for ho stooped suddenly and picked
mo up, and tho next Instant we woro
out In tho storm together. At tho
door he stooped and fcJt for tho
KnoD,
"Turn It,"' ho commanded. "I ean't
reach It." ,
"I'll do nothing qt tho kind," I Bald
Blirowlshly. "Let mo down: I 'can
walk perfectly Woll."
Ho hesitated. 'Thon ho slid mo
slowly to my fcotv, but ho did not open
tho door At onco. "Aro yqU nfrald
to lot mo carry you down Uioso stairs,
niter Tuesday night?" ho asked,
very low. "You still think I did that?"
I hnd novor boen loss sure of It
than nt thnt moment, but nn Imp of
pflrverslty mndo mo retort, "Yes."
Ho hardly scorned to hear mo. Ho
stood looking down at mo as I leanod
against tho door-frnnic.
"Good Lord!" ho groaned. "To
think that I might havo killed you!"
And thenho stooped and suddenly
kissed inc.
Tho next moment tho door was
opon, and hi was leading mo down
Into tho house. At tho foot of tho
staircase ho paused, still holding my
unnd, and faced mo In tho darkness.
"I'm not Borry," ho said steadily.
"I supposo I ought toJjo, but I'm not
Only I wanted you to know thnt I

I was quito unablo to speak, but 1
wrenched my bnnd looso. Ho stopped
back to lot mo pass, and I wont down
tho hall alono.
CHAPTER XVIII.
It's All My Fault.
I didn't go to tho drawing room
again. I went Into my own room and
sat In tho dark, and tried to bo furl
ouBly angry, and only succeeded' Id
fooling queer and tlngly. Ono thing
was absolutely certain: Not tho same
man. but two dlfforont men hnd kissed
mo on tho stairs to tho roof. It sounds
rather horrid and discriminating, but
thero was all tho dlfferonco In the
world.
Dut then who hnd? And for whom
hnd Mr. Harbison boon waiting on the
roof? "Did you know thnt I noarly
choked you to death a fow mlnutoa
ago?" Then ho rathor expected to
finish somebody In that way! Who?
Jim, probably. It was strange, too,
but suddenly I roallzed that no mat
ter how many suspicious things 1
mustered up against him and thore
woro plenty down in my heart 1
didn't believe him guilty of anything,
oxcopt this last and unforglvablo of-
fonso. Whoovor was trying to leave

clarod. "You In bed, Lolllo Mercer

"If you'll put hor. to bed, I'll keep

"You'ro a dear." Dolla camo back
from the- door. "Look hero, Kit, you
know Jim protty woll. Don't you
think ho looks 111? Thlnnor?"
"Ho's a wreck," I said soberly
"You havo a lot to answer for, Delia.'
Delia wont ovor to tho cheval glass
and looked In It "I avoid him all 1
can," sho said, posing. "Ho's awfully
funny; ho'a bo afraid I'll think ho's
serious about you. Ho can't renllzo
that for mo ho simply doesn't exist."
Woll, I took Aunt Sollna, and about
two o'clock, while I was In . my first

"Thoro's somobody In tho houso,"

"If thoy'ro In they'll not got out to

"I tell you, I saw n man Bkulkina

I got up ungraciously enough, and
put on my dressing- gown. Aunt So

Sellna loaned far over nnd peered

Tho lust of battlo was in Aunt So

hor and began to descend Jtho stales
cautiously. t Wo wont through tho hall

situation then, but it was too late.
"Then why did' you kiss hor in the
dining room?" Dolla was Baying in
hor clear, high tones, "You did, didn't
you?"
"It was only her hind," Jim, dee
perntely explaining. "I'vo got to pay
her somo attoritlon, under tho;lrcunv

I was thinking of you whon I did it."
Tho wretch!
Aunt Sellna drew hor broath in sud

"I am thinking of marrying Reggie
Wolfo." This wns Delia, of course.
"Ho wants mo to. Ho's n dear boy."
"If you do, I whl kill him."
"I am so very lonoly,'" Dolla slghod.
Wo could boar tho creak of Jim's
