Saturday at noon Chloe closed the office and went out | to r;f J to spend the afternoon with Boots. She had been keyed to the luncheon, to seeing fUinn again, i She could not stay at home. Boots was always stimulating. If the boys weren't with him, he and he would merely talk until some | f them arr.ved. It pleased her to see him turn off the radio beside his bed when she carr.t in. to see him ■ lift a ligated face and give i»er a I l.i arty welcome. The face of the nurse lighted, too, at aii’bt of the viaitog, for Chb'ie’a com,ng meant So afternoon's release, and Boots was no angel He was a brown young husky , whose muscles screamed for the outdoors, who had endured grinding pain snd was discovering that im-1 mobility and confinement can be i even worse. | Chloe was a change—from the 1 patient-faced nurse, even from tne ! boys who came to him smelling of snow and wind, talking of games . and classes. . . . Boots and the boys had never seen Chloe In any platform array except the Jack Rabbit outfit. To them she was merely Miss Dwyer who came as herself, who could sing and tell Indian yaraa and do tricks with a rope.

To-day being Saturday, aha and 1 ( her guitar had been half expected, , and the room was as full as Miss | ( Simpson. the nurae, would allow. Chloe opened, by request, with | "Roamin' Cowboy," the boys join- , mg in the refrain. Miss Simpson, putting on her wrapa, couldn’t hear herself think, and was thankful that she would soon be outside in the comparatively quiet traffic For Chloe, the louder the boys yelled the better she liked it. She didn't want to hear heraelf think. (Suppose Rann Sturgis should walk in that door. He eame before, when 1 thought ho was still away. Suppose be walked in now, and met Miss Dwyer again.) "Do the rope tricks, Mias Dwyer! You brought your rope.” Chioe did the rope tricks—ocean waves, butterflies, roll-overs. e e e • There was a tekgram from Rann beneath her door when she reached home: boston najtnvcs mninq with Ml AT BOBINCOTB TUESDAY.

■ clipped English speech and a small red mustache. Chloe, placed between Mr. Vc'per and Thorne Dillon had found a fl'Ssant abstraction in watching Ulive Buren, in listening to her. The stage, yes —yet mere than the ■ tage. A warm, a vivid personal ty. Her gown of old gold velvet, the dark hair parted and drawn into a low knot, gave her the timeless look of an old portrait. She had a low I voice, rich and lovely, and a slow, dark smile. Stokes Joplmg appeared to be her satellite. i Chloe would have preferred to ' talk with the gentleman on her left, Thaddeus Vesper, hi ad of Bond and Vesper, and himself the author of a work on the History of Jurisprudence. He was a small, bearded, elderly man with an esgle profile and myopic eyes behind thick glassns. Chloe's exchanges with him had been brief but interesting, when Thorne Dillon on her other side intervened, asking where Kann bad i found her. i “In the Wallace Building," she answered. "West Forty-th.rd i Street." | "But Fee been In the Wallace Building,” complained Dillon. I He was perhaps forty-five, rather paunchy, and going bald. It was a wry, humorous face, distinguished 1 by good features. Chloe was trying to rew.-mber what Hugh bad heard ’ about Dillon, scion of a great law- ' yer and Rann's senior partner. ' Something about his bibulous pro--1 Iclivities. . . . He was not drinking tonight. "On

the wagon.” ho had explained when the cocktails went round. “What, again ?" This from Hester, his *ife, who hadn't known. But then, they hadn't met for a month, coming home at odd hours. Hester had been late tonight, bad arrived with Molly Wain, the blond boy sitting next to Enid Vesper. Having detached Chloe from the conversation on her left, Dillon was slow to release her. Interesting looking girl, he considered her. The minute he had seen her to-night, •tending with Rann and the young Richards yonder, he had asked who she was. Now ho was Utting beside her. Lovely girl m a frost-white dress with gardenias on her breast, her only ornaments a strand of pearls and a bracelet of old silver. Something rather classic in that Rossetti bob of leaf-brown hair. He was not long in learning what •ho had been doing in the Wallace Building whoa Rann found her. Now it seemed she was agent for young Richards, who was a poet. . . .Ah. yea, she was that f nend of Rann’s who had an artists* bureau of some sort. Olive had mentioned her to-night Baid Rann was interested in Richards* success. . . . Well, you could see be was interested in something Dillon recalled n paragraph he had seen in a Peeping Tom's column the other day: Who to the girt Rana Sturgis was dining end dancing with lately ' at the Van Winkle Boat Club!

Hester had found the item, had shown It to him and asked if be . knew. But Thoene Dilbe bad known nothing about Rann and aay girt. May be st was this earn She had a pretty bee. nil right.
