It was Valentine Corliss: he had turned in from the street and was crossing the lawn to join the two young men. Lindley rose, and, greeting him with sufficient cordiality, introduced Mr. Vilas, who bestowed upon the newcomer a very lively interest. "You are as welcome, Mr.
What makes you think that?" she cried, but she was sufficiently disconcerted to confirm his amused suspicion. "So it was Mr. Vilas," he said. "He's one of the jilted, of course." "Oh, `jilted'!" she exclaimed. "All the wild boys that a girl can't make herself like aren't `jilted, are they?" "I believe I should say yes," he returned.

"Do you see that?" asked Vilas, leaning over the balcony railing with Richard Lindley. "Look! She's showing the other girls don't you see? He's the New Man; she let 'em hope she wasn't going in for him; a lot of them probably didn't even know that she knew him.
I can't keep anything from him; he reads me like a signboard; and then about himself he keeps me guessing, and I can't tell when I've guessed right.

He sealed the envelope, rang for a boy, gave him the letter to post, and directed that the apartment should be set to rights. It was not that in which he had received Ray Vilas.
Cora's door opened and closed softly, and Laura, barefooted, stole to the bed and put an arm about the shaking form of her sister. "The drunken beast!" sobbed Cora. "It's to disgrace me! That's what he wants. He'd like nothing better than headlines in the papers: `Ray Vilas arrested at the Madison residence'!" She choked with anger and mortification. "The neighbours "
