Eric Greatson took off his spec tacles and wiped them, with i little smile. "I thought they weren't getting on very well tonight, ne remarK-ed. "Your friend had that rather superior, rather humorous smile all the time she was daneing, and Prankland was so furious he was bumpiDg into every- one. They are sitting down in the lounge now and Frankland is looking like he does when he's been successfully heckled at a political meeting. And before they come- back may I remind you. Miss Brown that as yet we have scarcely said a word about yourself. Your friend is a very charming young lady, and social politics are one of the most Interesting things in life, but I should like, if I might, to talk a little about Miss Brown." She smiled at him, pleasantly enough, but always with that air or aloofness, wmcn seemed interfering?" Frankland demanr ded. Greatson faced him across the table. "I interfered." he said. "slmolv because you know as well as I do fhat the -Night Hawk' is the most disreputable place in London, and if you II ajlow me to say so Frankland. you ought to have known better than to have sue- gested taKing euner or tnese young women there." Frankland looked around. Fran ces and Miss Brown had alreadv disappeared. For a moment he glared at Greatson, who was standing very calm and self-possessed. Dreparme to lleht a cigarette. Then he dumped him self down in his chair. "Oh. dash it all!" he exclaimed. "WeH stop here and have an other drink."

Frances was calmlv gathering up the trifles she had left. In her Place. "ML Austin and I are going on to the 'Night Hawk.' " he announ-ed- "You needn't worry. Mist Brown. Ill bring the young lady home even if we are a bit late." Eeances had picked up her pos- seswons. There was a sweet but danarerous smile uoon her lloa. "Miss Austin Is doing nothing of tile sort.' she said, with a glance of reassurance at miss Brown, "Yon said you'd think about it, Frankland declared anertlv. "I have thousht about it. and I.have decided not to go. Come aipng. Eioun. prankland made an effort to smother his anger. He turned to &WS9 urown. "I say. won't you persuade her, Miss Brown?" he begged. "You and Greatson can come along, too." "I'm sorry.' 'the latter inter vened, "but r dont thrnk either Miss Brown or Miss Austin would like the 'Ntpht Hawk' at all. It isn't a place Td take my sister to, for instance, and she's not too strict. Better call that off. If you want to go on anywhere else " "Thank you so much, Mr, Great-son," Frances Interrupted, "Come along. Edith." "What the devil do you mean by ,un me nps, isaun? ' Miss Brown turned around. "No- man has ever kissed me on the Hps in my life." she declared. Frances looked at her for a moment, andbnodded. "Well. Ii might have guessed it" she said. "You are telling the truth, "too; which mates it more awful Well, no man has kissed me for a long time, and I know one thing for certain now Mr. Frank-land never will." , "How vou could have conceived the possibility " Miss Brown began sternly. "Oh. shut up, you little fool!" Frances intetrupted. "You're mad differently. You don't understand. There's onlv half of me alive like this, and the other half Is turning me around and twisting me about Inside. I'd escape all risht if I could, but I know now that I can't thronsh Mr. Frankland." "I hould hope not!" Miss Brown exclaimed emphatically. "Of the two men. why on earth don't; you take a little notice of Mr. Great-ron? Even if he doesn't daneejie's mow interesting to taiK to. "You seem to choose such serious types." Frances observed with a grimace. "When a vourie man as serious as Mr. Greatson starts to make love to me he appeals to my sense oi numor more man my affections, and the whole thine seems ridleuTous. Funny creatures, we are. aren't we. Edith?" Miss Brown brought her friend a cup of tea, made one for herself, clipped off her own gown in decorous fashion and wrapped herself in a dressing-gown. Thus attired she sat In an easychalr in irom oi me stove. Yes. I suppose we are funnv Frances," she reflected "you especially. I wouldn't call you clever I dont know whether vou are nr not but you have too sensitive a orain ror tne everyday things of life. Directly anything simple or inierwsiing presents itself, you either laugh at lt or despise it." -wnat about Mr. Frankland then?" Frances demandpd 'Ws simple as an idiot apart from his wortc, mat is. rnere s only one way he could possibly appeal to any one the lowest. And he did appeal to me for a time. I wondered all sorts of thlnis. I liked his ionic nf strength even the smell of cigars aoout nim. i aion t oisitKe nis dissipated eyes. He was forceful and lrntaDie and used to getting what he wanted, and like a child In letting you know what he wanted. "It was onlv one side of me he appealed to.

He's oenavea me tne worst kind 0. fools they are, these men, Edith. They could jget so much more ol what they want in this world If they'd only take the trouble to learn how." Miss Brown's face under the shaded light was absolutely un-.sympatbetle almost 'severe. "My dear Frances.' 'she said. "I chickens is agreeing with you." "Well. I've got to go on with it " was the somewhat despondent re ply. "Every bob I have is sunk m those rotten little huts and all the machinery for making them pay, it's you who has all the luck, Edith.

"He is rather elderly and devoted to his profession. I am 'use the sort of secretary to suit him the mechanical Instrument keeping a record of all the thlnes he needs recorded." "Yes." Frances reflected, herself out. "I suppose vou have in you the makings of a perfect secretary. Temperament, if any. perfectly under control. Affections yes, you nrobablv have affections entirely self-supporting. Doe anyone ever kiss you at all. Edith?" No one? And I wish vou'd leave off this habit of talk Frances. "Must taiK aceordine to mv moods, child. I've been in this sort of mood for a month now. I think wnen I get back to the couatry though. I shall stay there.

Miss Brown lnterrun- ted. sitting upright with a start It was 2 o'clock and the little street had been deserted ever since the closing time ot the public house at the corner. The silence outside, however, was suddenly almost fearsomely broken. From somewhere In the direction of Curzon street came a confused clamor of voices voices shrill and "et raucous, voice which some- now or other reminded the two girls, listening now side by side at the window, of a pack of wild animals- in full cry and In the nearer distance, along the pavement, closer at every moment came the stumbling footsteps of a mart running. Miss Brown shivered. She had n momentary accession of weakness. Surely the tragedy of the morn-Int: had been sufficient "Put out the light, Frances," she whispered. ; (To Be Continued Monday) OLD COUNTRY FOOTBALL English League, First Division Birmingham 3 Manchester City Blackburn Rovers 2.
