“I won’t! I say it! I mean it! I
won’t! Not now, never, nor the next
day! So there!” Adela cried, her fin
gers light in her ears and stamping
her foot hard.
“That’s a pity! Such a pity!” Billy
Bruce murmured, with his most engag
ing smile. “A pity you say it, 1 mean,
because 1 know and you know per
fectly that you will.”
“Who’s going to make me. or what’:
Certainly not you, not the little old
scrap of a fortune,” Adela retorted,
sticking out her chin. Billy laughed
softly, hardly more than ft chuckle.
‘•True, we don’t amount to mu h. the
fortune and i.” he said. “Still, there’s
rather more to us than you can get
any other way."
“Oh. you think so! Your modesty
won’t kill you, not for a long time
yet,” Adela broke in, with a wicked
toss of the head Billy made he r his
best bow, saying half plaintively:
“Y'mi didn’t notice I held up my fin
gers for quotajk’h marks. I_ guot
fng’—Troth ftob jforr3i§. Tie talked you
over down ht the hotel.”
"I don’t believe it! How dared you
let him? What did lie say?” Adda
shot at him, a round red spot blazing
in either cheek.
“He didn’t say much—after I got to
him. Benny Driggs was with him.
They were going on at a great rate un
til I came. No; he spoke no harm of—
anybody. Indeed, he was more sensi
ble than one might reasonably expect.”
Billy continued.
“Unless you tell me I shall go
straight and ask him—ask him if he
said anything at all about me,” Adela
cried, her lip curling faintly. Billy
stood a thought straighten “You can’t
do that. He’s leaving on the evening
train. It’s due. Just about,” lie said
“I don’t think you can mean to imply
that I’m lying. I wouldn’t do that if it
would make you love me. Torrens said
as I can recall his
>■<■■( 1 thing t’io little
wedding present she’ll like best in the
world.’ ”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Adela
said fretfully. Billy smiled, but d p ew
3 long breath.
“Telling would have broken the
charm,” he said. “I wanted to sur
prise you, and I didn't want to bribe
you into taking me. I shouldn’t l>e
telling you even now if you hadn't
made me see there is no chance of our
coming together.”
“Then why don't you go away?”
Adela said, more than ever fretful.
She was on the verge of fresh toars—
tears she would not for the world let
him see. if life bad depended ou it
she would not have admitted, even to
herself, that they were more for the
hurt to her pride Involved in his going
without her than fer the crushing out
of what but yesterday she had fancied
was her oue true love,
Torrens had awakened it—Torrens,
with his gay elegance, his careless,
easy assumption of authority, so un
like Billy’s respectful adoration. Bil
ly was the inevitable, the comnion
plaee. Therefore she had res ntod
him even more than she had resented
the family disposition of her hand.
Torrens had fascinated her from the
beginning. She had felt it would be
so finely romantic to fling away a
lover and a fortune for his dear sake.
And he had asked her to do it—a hun
dred times at least—as plainly as any
thing could be asked without words.
And uow he had gone, at Billy’s
bidding—gone without n word to her.
Sharp "acroas had
come the whistle o£ the departing
(ram. TiT a"passion of anger and hu
miliation she turned again upon Billy,
saying in her hardest voice:
“Go tell everybody you threw me
over—because of—the other—and don’t
let me see you ever again!”
She was sorry for the speech before
the gate shut behind Billy, sorrier still
ns the days drew into a week—a week
full of stir and wondering over Billy's
approaching departure. She had not
seen him again, even at a distance.
Daily he walked a block about rather
than pass her gate. He did more—
gave up his share in the money, put
ting the whole of it safely in trust for
Adela. When word of it was brought
to her she turned away her face, ran
upstairs and was invisible until next
day.
Torrens had written—a light, grace
ful, lying letter, pleading imperative
business in excuse for bis seeming
at the very end hinting
