He had not once asked Marjorie to (lance ill afternoon the light oi imli; nation had been growing I brighter in her eyes, though Maurice Igor} ' s defectio 1 to the la (1y from New York had not ianned this flame. From the moment Fanchon had whispered fair iliarlv in Penrod’s ear and Penrod had blushed Marjorie had been occu- pied exclusively with resentment against that guilty pair. It seemed to her that Penrod had no right to allow a strange girl to whisper in his ear, that his blushing when the strange girl didv it was atrocious and that the strange girl herself ought to be ar- rested. ‘ Forgotten by the merrymakers, Mar- jorie stood alone upon the lawn, clinch- ing her small lists. watching the new dance at its high tide and hating it with a hatred that made every inch of her tremble. And; perhaps because jealousy is a great awakener of the virtues. she had a perception of some thing in it worse than lack of dignityâ€" something vaguely but outrageously reprehensible. Finally when Penrod brushed by her, touched her with his elbow and did not even see her, Marjo- rie’s state of mind (not unmingled with emotion) became dangerous. In fact, a trained nurse chancing to observe her at this juncture would probably have advised that she be taken home and put to bed. Marjorie was on the verge of hysterics. She saw Fanchon and Penrod assume the double embrace required by the dance. The “Slingo Sligo Slide” burst from the orchestra like the lunatic shriek of a 'gin maddened negro, and all the little couples began to hob and dip and sway. Marjorie made a scene. She sprang upon the platform and stamped her foot “Penrod Schofield!” she shouted. "You BEHAVE yourself!” The remarkable girl took Penrod by the ear. By his ear she swung him away from Fanchon and faced him to- ward the lawn. “You march straight out of here!” she commanded. Penrod marched. He was stunned; obeyed automatical- ly without question and had very little realization of What was happening to him. Altogether and Without reason he was in precisely the condition of an elderly spouse detected in flagrant mis- behavior. Marjorie similarly was in precisely the condition of the party who detects such misbehavior. It may be added that she had acted with a promptness, a decision and a disregard of social consequences all to be com- mended to the attention of ladies in like predicament. “You ought to be ashamed of your- self!” she raged when they reached the lawn. “Aren’t you ashamed of your- self ‘3" “What for?” he inquired helplessly. “You be quiet!” “But What’d I do, Marjorie?

But something else, surpassing, he would remember of that hour, for in the side street close by a pink skirt flickered from behind a shade tree to the shelter of the fence. There was a gleam of amber curls, and i’enrod started as something like a tiny White Wing flut- tered by his head, and there came to his ears the sound of a light laugh and of light footsteps departing, the laughâ€" ter tremulous. the footsteps fleet.
