TV/TARY stopped short with a lfillc gasp of surprise and shock. The. lounging, ill-dressed, haggard figure | on the park bench could be no oilier than Edwin, whom she had seen the last time three years before.

His words stirred old memories. “Oh, Edwin, those —won’t you .come with me to lunch? I—l do want t«> chut with you again," she said hur riedly, feeling within her some old memories stir. He u/tived readily, and her quick mind told her that he was mill} hungry. I II go, hut you must pay the cheek. I'm clean broke," be said bluntly, joining her. He was hardly a respectable hg are beside her neat and attractive self, and many eyes were turned to them as they went on. Bui Mary did not care; some of the old happiness returned as she walked beside him. In a sheltered corner of the res taurant, over a laden table, they tl nally faced each other. *T haven't had a square meal in weeks," he admitted with ids old /rankness. “Now, don't tell me I a til wasting my life, us you used to. I'm no good. 1 admit it” “No, Edwin, I won't scold now. Then I hud such bright hopes for you." “Now you have given me up. 1 don't blame you. But I'm grateful for this handout.” t; “Don't," she begged. “I am stl<l— trill Interested in you. Please be kind.

She reached for her handbag, which she had hung over the buck of her chair. The bag was gone. Her lienrl seemed to slop beating. Could he Jinve taken the bag? In the confusion in her own mind the truth appeared. He and no other could possibly have taken it. She wailed until the tumult within her had quieted. Then she easily made arrangements to have the lunch charged, and with the world gray about her went buck to the office.
