“That's a fine idea,” laughed Anne,
“and if hostesses continue to pair us

we can prompt each other when our

“Simply great! We can work to

ple and have lots of money. Did you
ever notice how quiet, demure girls
like Anne always get the eligibles,”
So she had not needed the scintil
lating small talk of dinner tables to
land the biggest catch of the season,
Randolph furnished the reason why
she did not want to depend on him.
All at once Bob Lawrence felt de-
Jocted and miserably lonely. Life
hedged him about with hundreds of
other dinners, dances and nights at
the opera when he would not be
| privileged to enjoy the music hecause
his social obligations kept him atten
tive to girls in chiffoy clothes and
lace coats trimmed in fur that were
indicative of the sham life they al]
led, feigning happiness even as the
coats of delicate lace furnished only a
pretense of warmth, He determined
that the following Saturday would
find him ahoard an outbound vessel
He would seek adventure in strange
lands
He adjusted his husiness affairs and
engaged passage on a boat bound for
the West Indles. The first news he
heard on deck was the announcement

that a girl from his own city had been
married suddenly, and that she and
her husband, a man named Randoelph,
were on board. He did not need to
ask the girl's name, It laughed at
him. It mocked him, it seemed to be
written in huge letters all over the
boat and the deck. The gerat adven
ture had come to glm, quickly, withe
out any blare of trampets and beat of

Anne Anderson, and she was a bride
on the very bout that he had hoped
would carry him away from every

He could not help but smile back
when a little later a girl in a big,
white coat, with a whiet tam.o'-
shanter pulled over most of th elittie
brown curls about her face turned
from the rail and smiled at him.
“Why, Bob Lawrence, what are you
Going here? fid you find that bhook?
We can stody and improve ourselves
if you did.”

“Why won't 17" she demanded.
“l dare say your husband will be
able to answer that better than I
can,” he sald. “I hope that 1 will have
the pleasure of meeting him before
we land.” Then he left her abruptly.
She stared stupldly at his broad
back in the rough, gray coat and the
Erap cap that completely covered his
head. Things had been happening
very rapidly In her lite for four or
five days, and she was too dazed and
tired to wonder why Bob Lawrence
Was trying to snub her., Well, he
would have no reason to think thag
she cared. |
For two days she 4id not even
catch a glimpse of Bob, then the thlmi
day he appeared only to completely
ignore her. When she volunteered a
few polite questions he answered her
#imply and moved away. So Anne
flirted and sang and danced her way
into the heart of every eligible man
on board. Hob considered that she
was acting in r taste for a brlde.‘

thought she could do nothing of

night out there was a benefit for
Some poor Cuban who was ill and
trying to get back to Havana before
she died. Anne won the laurels of
the evening. Her rich, pure contralto
voice rang through the salon, and
fliany a man surreptitiously rubbed
the mist from his eyes when she had
finished singing. Bob Lawrence felt
his throat tighten as Anne sang of
home and love that waits patiently
through the years for the absent one.
Home-—why, home meant Anne,
ind she could never be his, He went
up on deck, where the moonlight,
spread ltke silver gossamer on the
dancing waves, and the kind stars
seemed to twinkle understandingly,
“Bob,” sald a soft volce at his

He turned and saw Anne's face in
