"KING OBHEARTS" BY EDNA R.OBB WEBSTEPj.

CHAPTER XIII Jack awaited Doti in the reception room of the clubhouse. He felt a vague restlessness which was new to him. Doti was one of those girls for whom men waited with tolerant expectation and conceded that she had a right to keep them waiting. Jack could not have estimated the hours of his life which he had devoted to that patient service. But he never had considered them a loss of time until now. His impatience mounted. He visioned a blonde young man whom he had known most of his life riding beside a dark-haired girl whom he had known only a few hours. The vision disturbed him, and he paced the length of the room with his hands thrust deep into his pockets. Doti had talked to him a great deal about her cousin, Lynn. But Doti always talked a great deal about everything. Thinking now about Lynn, he wondered why Doti had not said more. Or, hadn’t he listened? Often as not, he didn’t listen carefully to what Doti said. Subconsciously, he knew without listening. But, of course, he hadn’t known about Lynn. And he caught himself wishing that he had. ■‘The girls of Jack’s life and experiences had been those who were as established in his thoughts as his famous ancestry, his business, his home. . . . But Lynn was something very different. She made him feel disturbingly aware of her. Perhaps it was this fact, added to his restlessness over waiting for Doti, which caused him to say to her when she appeared, the first critical words of their long association. “Whv does it take you so much longer than other girls to get ready? Almost everyone has gone.” “Oh, I had that horrible gypsy makeup to take off, and I thought I never would be myself again,” she laughed unaware of his stormy mood. Doti was as consistenly bright as the tropical sun. Few clouds of doubt or despair ever crossed her sunny existence, and her disposition reflected its radiance. But dispositions are like the sun; if there are no clouds to hamper them, they have no reason not to shine. It is those which shine in spite of heavy clouds, -which are brave and strong. “Tomorrow is a long day,” he observed soberly, as if he had not been anticipating that day for many months with genuine pleasure. “The greatest day in our lives—so far,” Doti reminded him gently, and awaited his reply with a breathless anticipation. But what he said was, “I don t think we should’have let your cousin go with Dewey. She doesn’t know him very well, and it may look to her ns if we were trying to get rid of her.” “Why, Lynn was thrilled to go with Dewey. After all, she’s quite old enough to have dates with men who have danced with her several times in one evening. I didn’t get her down here to trail around with us. Lynn needs a chance to meet eligible men and get acquainted.” “I don’t think all the men in Chicago could be blind idiots,” irritably. “Why, Jack, whatever is the matter with you? You’re as cross as an old woman. If you don’t quit grinding away at that office like a crystal crusher, and take a vacation, I’m going to tell dad to send you away.” “I’d rather work too much than play too much, as most of the fellows do ” morosely. ** r * Lynn’s senses were keyed to their r.ll-time high pitch. The moonlight made the air like liquid silver, and it was yet tangibly sweet. Dewey I: ad stopped his car under a palm ree and the leaves rustled together ’ike whispering voices of the night. Jut they were as inarticulate as his transformation of herself was nysterious. She felt so very far -way from Mrs. Kime’s and not at ell the same girl who lived there as „ynn Bartel. She was someone else ;o whom all th ; s was happening so .swiftly that the giddy gyration of events made her dizzy and bewildered. If only she might stop them tong enough to adjust her thoughts ana feelings.

Fred Reppert and RoyUohnnon sold at auction Wednesday, two : farms and some town property,com.Arising the Sellemeyer estate. The auction school students ati tended the sales with the purpose j of learning how the job was done. At the close of the large farm sale a few of the students were introduced to the crowd. The sales were successful as the : properties brought more than ex- 1 I pected. We students got a lesson

Even if she and her life could change so completely in a few hours, how could she be <ure of her reaction to it until she had had time in which to gain the right perspective on it? She had to find that time, somehow. She hadn’t wanted Dewey to stop his car before he arrived at the Merchon’s, and yet she had known that he would. Intuition, and the sequence of the day’s events, had told her that he would. Yet she had had so little experience of this kind. She wondered if this were an example of what was known as woman's intuition. But she had been powerless to prevent Dewey stopping the car, much as she wished he would not. and knew that he would. She objected, a trifle shakily, but lightly, "I must go straight Lome. Dcti wiU be expecting me." i

’■W ' ' ■ -iWflflSMrOL:■ ’7''” “Please say that you won’t go away, and that you will stay her* always—with me.”

“Not for a long time. Jack won’t t let her think about you for awhile, I little lady. But I’ve been thinking i about you ever since I saw you this i afternoon.” “That hasn’t been so long, has it?” : she reminded him, dreading a repeti- 1 tion of his earlier declarations. “Time has nothing to do with it. ] When a man sees the girls he’s been looking for all his life, it seems as if - he has always known her. I’ve realized that all this evening.” “But you don’t really know me,” Lynn insisted, feeling more bewildered than ever. Here was a man whose attention most of the girls of the city had desired at some time telling her that she was the one for whom he had passed them all by. It was incredible. “Then, let’s get acquainted,” he suggested, drawing her closer with his arm. “Please,” she entreated, pressing ■ her hand against his shoulder to resist his embrace. “You will know me better after I’ve been here for a • week.” ; “When you will be going away— I yes. Please say that you won’t go ’ away, that you will stay here always i —with me.” “I couldn't say that now—and be . honest. You see—l don’t know you, i either.” > "But you are wearing my pin,” • he reminded her, as he noticed the t gleam of its emeralds in the light. i Her hand reached up to it quickly, 3 as if she had forgotten it. “I’m—- ) sorry—if you misunderstood my acf ceptance of it. I expected to return - it after tonight.” 1 “But I gave it to you to keep.” s “Doti told me—what it means, to accept a krewe pin.”

“Giving it means the same thing. That is why I want you tn keep it.” “And that is why I can’t.” < “Why are you so sure?” he asked gentlv, lowering his face to hers. She drew away abruptly. “Because I’m not sure of anything, tonight. I shouldn't be at all surprised if those palms ehanged to giant ogres who chased us both in a flaming chariot drawn by two swordfish and then we suddenly discovered that we were the fishes swimming in an ocean of green wine.” “What fairly tales you do conjure!” he laughed. “That is just how unreal everything has been to me for the last twelve hours, and I’m not at all sure I’m not dreaming,” her voice trembled a little with the strain of the day’s prolonged excitements clim-

axed by Dewey’s rapid courtship. She wondered about his sincerity, even with the clamor of her thoughts. Was it possible that he proposed to every girl whom he fancied for the moment, only to discard her when the novelty of her acquaintance had subsided? She had heard Susanne remark that some men were like that—stringing a girl along until he was finished with her. But the men whom her vision had conjured from Susanne's description, had been nothing like Dewey Condon. He might be too impulsive, but surely he was not that kind of man. He insisted, his hand clasping hers, “I can prove to you how real everything is,” and stooped to kiss her lips, but she turned them away and his own brushed her cheek. “Won’t you please take me home?” she entreated. “On one condition.” “What is that?” "That you will let me take you to the ball, tomorrow evening, and see you every moment you can spare all this week.” “On one condition.” He laughed with amusement. “Fair enough. What is that?” “That you will not ask me again to —marry you." "That’s a bargain. And by the end of the week, you will have decided to stay here where you belong.” “By that time, you may have detided that you don’t want me to stay.” “The contract is signed and witnessed " he agreed blithely, and started the motor instantly.
