Bob looked across the table, drinking in the exquisite loveliness of her--the golden curls peeping out below the pert little bla'ck turban; the blue eyes, radiant and exciting now; the soft cheeks, inviting a caress "You've found the "No.

I haven't really looked 1 for one. Fve been too busy mov-' ing my sell" "Don't tell me," he said in mock distress, "that you've deserted the Lovely Ladies' Lodging Club. Where did you move?" "Green Hills." "To Green Hills? Boy, that's fine! With Sybil?" Joan shook her head quickly. "No. With an old friend She told him of meeting" Dorothy at Sybil's tea, and of Mrs.

Downs' subsequent invitation. "So," she i concluded, "Dorothy and I are I living alone in the huge Downs house while the family is in Florida." Bob smiled "At Peter Downs', eh? You're certainly meeting the best people. He's one of the leading attorneys in the city. You say you and this Dorothy Starke went to school together?" "Yes, in Seattle." "Seattle?" he repeated in surprise. "You never told me you lived in the West." "You never asked me," Joan smiling disarmingly.

"No, I guess I didn't I've always been too busy telling you what a fine fellow I was. I never thought to ask about you." "PERHAPS it's time 1 told you, then." She spoke lightly, and even Bob could not detect the serious undercurrent in her voice. "I was born in Sacramento, and later went to Seattle to live. After I left school, we moved--mother and I--to Chicago. Mother died to myself at nights because I was so lonely.

That was until I got the job with Mr. Hendry. He's, been fine, Joan. Almost like a father to me. I don't have any folks either, you see.

Sybil ha3 been swell to me, too. By the way, how did you enjoy the tea?" "It was a lovely party, Bob," Joan reported, truthfully enough. "Of course, it was a bit formal, and--well, I'm still in awe of Sybil. And of her friends, too, I guess." "I Bob grinned. I felt like a bull in a china shop the first few times Sybil entertained me.

Everything was so damnably correct And that fish-faced Jennings watched me like a hawk, as if he suspected I intended to make off with the silver. However, Sybil means well enough." "VOU'LL like Dorothy, Bob." He patted her hand, as it lay beside her plate. "If she's a friend of yours, I'll have to like her, won't Joan smiled. "You don't have to like her." "Well, I want to. Is that better?" "Much better." She smiled brightly.

"Will come home with me this evening and meet her?" that I may meet with her approval?" "Don't be.silly, Bob!" He leaned forward and looked at her more intently. "There's a little detail we must decide first," he said, very quietly. From his coat pocket, he took out a small card calendar. "I asked Mr. Hendry this afternoon if he could spare us both for-a week." Joan's eyes were starry.

"What did he "He asked what was talcing me so long." "So long?" "That's what he said. He likes people who mafce up their minds and act immediately. No dilly- dallying Joan laughed softly. "It sounds just like him." "Next Saturday," Bob noted, "is the 30th. But Norton is coming on from the coast some.

day next week, so there will probably be a few details to iron out concerning the Bella Terra. I'd better be on hand. I may even have to 'run. down to Washington for a day or so. But the next Saturday--well, the "Queen Bermuda" sails at three o'clock.

Do you think Mr. and Mrs. Andrews can make it?" "I know they can, Bob dear." eyes met and held, and Joan's with tears at thei sheer happiness which filled her heart. Presently he said: "I have something for you." Joan smiled eagerly. 'A souvenir from the mine?" "No.

It wasn't that kind of a "Have you got it with you?" He stirred his coffee with exaggerated nonchalance. "I can't give it to you here "Why not?" "Oh, it's sort of a private present Later, in a taxi going uptown, he took a tiny black velvet box from his inside pocket "Shut your eyes," he commanded. As she did so, he opened the box and reached for her hand. Gently, he slipped a ring on her finger. "Oh, Bob!" Joan's eyes widened as she looked down at the sparkling diamond on her left hand.

For a moment she just gazed at it, holding her breath in speechless wonderment. "Do you like it?" "Like -it? My dear, I never saw such a beautiful ring in all my life. It's so--so utterly magnificent It frightens me Take it off, dear, and let me read the inscription. It has an inscription, hasn't it?" In the dim light, she held it up and made out the tiny letters: H- A. to J.

B. "I love it Bob!" "And I love you." He slipped the ring back on her finger and took her into his arms hungrily. In the mirror, the taxi-driver caught a glimpse of them, but red lights and jay walkers claimed his attention. Let the two of them have a little romance. He remembered how it when he and the Missus were going out Gee, that was a long time ago! What swell times they used to have, in those days Take a pair like this, though.
