Anderson when he found himself her
dinner partner for the third time in a
week, “for I am not adept in tossing

“That's a fine idea,” lnughed Anne,
“and if hostesses continue to palr us
off as they have been doing this week,
we can prompt each other when our
memories get stage fright at the
sight of terrapin and roasted duck.”
“Simply great! We can work to
gether for a common cause”
Mrs. Nathanlel Blake beamed upon
them. “1 am so fortunate,” she said
“in seating my guests congenially, i
see that you two are quite interested
in each other. Really, | frequently

“What combustible stuff she must
be merving us!” Bob whispered to
Anne under cover of the laughter that
followed Mrs. Blake's innocent ie
mark, “Some truth to her statement!

Anne looked grieved., “If you are
not careful you will make me study
alone, That speech of yours was
really funny.”
“Mrs. Blake gave me an idea. She
sald that we looked interested in each
other. Well, we are, and if we pre
tend to be more than interested, say
in love, everybody will put us to

“I am afrald we will learn to be
very dependent,” argued Anne, “and
that would not be best.”
Why would it not be best? Bob

ever notice how quiet, demure girls
like Anne always get the eligibles.”
50 she had not needed the scintii
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 because
his soclal obligations kept him atten
tive to girls in chmo’ ¢lothes and
lace coats trimmed in fur that were
indicative of the sham life they al}
led, fel{nlnr happiness even as the
coats of delicate lace furnished only a
pretense of warmth, He determined
that the following Saturday would
find him aboard an outhound vessel,
He would seck adventure in strange
lands.
He adjusted his business affairs and
engaged passage on a boat bound for
the West Indies. The first news he
heard on deck was the announcement

that a 3lrl from his own city had been
married suddenly, and that she and
her hushand, a man named Randolph,
were on board. He Adid 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 &im, quickly, withe
out any blare of trumpets and beat of
drums. He had fallen in love with
Anne Anderson, and she was a bride
on the very boat that he had hoped
would carry him away from every
thing associated with her. ”
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 elittle
brown curls about her face turned
from the rdil and smiled at him.
“Why, Bob Lawrence, what are you
doing here? Did you find that book?
We can study and improve ourselves

“Why won't 17" she demanded,
“I 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 stupidly at his broad
back in the rough, gray coat and the
EZrap cag that completely covered his
headq, hings had been happening
very rapidly In her life 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 did not even
cateh a glimpas of Bob, then the third
day he appeared only to completely
Ignore her. When she volunteered a
few ?ome questions he answered her
simply and moved away. So Anne

Into the heart of every eligible man
on board. Bob considered that she

she dled. Anne won the laureis of
the evening. Her rich, pure contralto
voice rang through the salon, and
fhany a man surreptitiously rubbed
the mist from his eyes when she had
finished singing. Bob lLawrence felt
