"Dearest, Art Palmer I mean Doctor Palmer—," he corrected himself mockingly, "wants to know whether you want to be spliced— I think he said in his church?" Her voire trembled even more. It was the way he had said “Dearest “I’d like It very much If you would.” “Oh, yes!" she assured him, “Quite certain?" “Quite." “May I drop in this e\ r ening? There are a few things I want to talk about.” “Please do." “Then—until this evening, dearest," he said a bit too loudly. He heard her half-whispered “Goodby—" Arthur Palmer was studying a paper knife which he twisted in his hands. He had known Barrett Colvin for many years and now he was worried. Barrett's tone had sounded artificial and forced. Arthur Palmer wanted this marriage to be a success. They both deserved that It should be. Cf If IT snowed during the night as Elinor lay wakeful. Just before dawn she fell asleep, to open her eyes at 9 on a day that was clear, cold and bright. Celeste was standing at her bedside, smiling t°nderly. For a moment Elinor wondered at Celeste's presence and at her smile. Then it camp back, the truth which was not a dream. And with the truth came full consciousness of the ordeal before her. a. Elinor sat up, hugging her knees and staring at a window which framed a square of the glittering world. She would go to the church at 12 to meet Barrett Colvin. They would be married. Then she would go with him to his house, and thug would start the pretense * that must endure for a year. Her father would have everything he needed; her cousin Philip his rightful share; her aunt and uncle, an almost-forgotten peace, and their sons, the chance they so deserved. The Thropes would accept a. share of the money from her. Elinor was certain. Celeste was running her bath. An almost overpoweringly sweet scent floated to Elinor from the room that was filling with steam. Celeste had evidently borrowed boldly from one of the many Venetian glass bottles standing on the peacock blue shelves of her mother’s dressing room. “Something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue," chanted Celeste, returning. Elinor laughed. “But I haven’t anything that isn’t old, Celeste!” she admitted. Celeste had considered that, she confessed, nodding. She had slipped out to buy a handkerchief and if Mademoiselle would deign to carry that it would be new. “It was sweet of you. Celeste!” exclaimed Elinor. Her mother had had no thought of her. She had been thinking only of how much Barrett would do now to make up for his “treachery" about the will.

“Last night I added the letters," said Celeste. “Ah. and with love. I thought of you—thinking of your sweetheart!" a a a ELINOR flushed. True, she had thought of the one Celeste called “her sweetheart’ most of the night, but not as Celeste had dreamed. t “I shall keep the handkerchief always, Celest*.’’ she said. Even Lida felt an unwonted thaw ring when Elinor, appeared at 11:30 from her father's room. She had been sitting silently by his bed, her hand on his weak hand, her eyes on his which smiled at her. Leaving him. stooping above him .-he had heard him murmur, “My—blessings—dearest! ” Lida saw Elinor's w r et eyes, but what struck her more acutely was her daughter’s painful shabbiness “You should have something new —" she broke out sharply, “that old coat and dress— ’’ ‘They'll do." “I presume they’ll have to. The car is waiting.” “Yes. I’m ready—if you are." “Quite.’’ Elinor w r as lovely in spite of her shabbiness. Lida saw, and for the first time she saw the girl's beauty without envy. “Your flowers are exquisite," said Lida as she looked at Elinor’s corsage, an artful blending of spring blossoms which had been chosen, after great thought, by Barrett. “But those roses—” she ended, brows raised questioning. “Father gave them to me from some that were sent to him," Elinor answered. Every inch of the ride she had seen the chauffeur stowing her bags in the back of the car. Perhaps because that action had made it so clear that she was not coming home again, that she was going to live in Barrett house. Asa “guest" of course. But it was a definite step, none the less; an extremely definite step. Yet what else could she have done? She could not deny those others—all of whom she loved—the advantages that would come to them through her marriage.

AS she had done perhaps a thou- . sand times before, she told herself that she was doing the right thing. She must not, she reflected, let this hurt Barrett in any way. He had been so fine about it. Few men would have felt about the will as he felt. She saw the spire of the church ahead of them, outlined through a gap in towering buildings. •‘We’re almost there,” Lida said. Elinor felt her cheeks sting. She slipped a glove from her left hand. The night before he had brought her a ring that had made Lida's eyes glitter with envy. It held a large, flawless diamond set simply, beautifully. Then she saw Bessie and Jim and the boys, waiting for them. Bessie was beaming and at the same time weeping. "Darling child!” said B°ssie unsteadily as she moved toward Elinor. “Wey. well!” murmured Jim. He was pumping her hand up and down. “I presume we may as well gc in—” Lida suggested with a weary, ironic smile. Bessie’s display of emotion was simply too frightful. It was. of course, the sort of display to Be expected from a creature whose house was habitually scented with cabbage and other odors from what Bessie called ‘‘plain, nourishing foods.” It was all thoroughly revolting to Lida. She saw that Elinor was clinging to her aunt's warm, pudgy, ungloved hand. Lida hated clinging but something that had once been heart in her ached dully without her knowing why. The verger opened the door and the group made their way into the church vestibule. (To Be Continued)

Just before dark one evening, an almost exhausted flier entered the headquarters of Colonel Capell of the Second Rhodesians and saluted. ' Well, Thomson.’' asked the superior, “what luck? The others have all returned. Never saw a thing of Lieutenant Cecil or his plane. I guess we shall have to give it up unless you were more successful.’’

“I was." replied the young officer. “I found the plane.” "No!” ejaculated Colonel Capell. “Where was it? Any signs of Cecil?” “It is in the worst hole in the ground I ever saw, quite a bit inland. Narrow gorge. Saw the plane all right, but couldn’t reach it. There wasn't a sign of life about it; only a dead lion.”

“Wonder if the beast got the lieutenant,” mused Capell. He called two officers and with the assistance of the returned flier marked on a map the approximate location of the plane which Thomson reported to have discovered. “It’s a mighty rough country," remarked one officer. “I doubt if infantry could reach it or survive during the search.”

“We can't leave a stone unturned until we have exhasted every resource to find that boy—or hia body,” said the Colonel. “Take motor lorries with rations and water. Detail a couple of planes also. Good luck.’ They saluted and departed to make ready the almost hopeless search for their lost comrade.
