Marston asked, as he took the 38. "It wouldn't have been kind!" Harleston smiled. "When visitors come at such an hour, they deserve to be received with every attention and courtesy particularly when they come on a mistaken impression and a fruitless quest." The man looked at Harleston doubtfully. Just how much of this was bluff, he could not decide.
"Mrs. Clephane understands," Harleston explained "I confide her to your care. À bientôt." He hurried out. A taxi, waiting with power on, sped up; he sprang aboard and it raced away. As it neared the Connecticut Avenue bridge, the taxi slowed down a trifle and the driver half-faced around. "The other car is just ahead, sir," he reported. "Very good," said Harleston.
"Don't you see it's because the boy fell in love with his Mercedes?" said the old gentleman. Certain it is, the two were inseparable. One fancies Harleston heard more of Mrs. St. Clair than either of Jamie's older friends. For Jamie, in her absence, grew to love all whom she had ever known, all who had ever seen her; how much more, then, this young fellow who had shown the grace to love her, too!

"I think you are," the Secretary replied, "We all are obligated and quite ready to give our lives for our country, if the sacrifice will benefit it in the very least; yet I can't see the obligation in this instance, can you Harleston?"

When he appeared, it was with his hat and stick, as though he were going out. "If anyone calls, Miss Williams," he remarked, pausing by her desk, "I'll be back in about half an hour." "Very well, Mr. Harleston," she replied.
It would be at least a momentary diversion; something to occupy her for the loss of Harleston. She closed her eyes and shivered ever so little. Damn Mrs. Clephane! But for her she would not have lost him. She flung off the cover and sprang up. There was a chance left and she would try it. If it failed, she would not lose more than she had already lost.
