are　so　happy　and　all　that；　but　I　don't　see　the　necessity　of　rubbing
it　into　a　fellow。　　You　know　how　I　feel。　　I　am　glad　for　you　andI
am　glad　for　Rupert。　　Or；　at　least　I　told　him　so。〃

〃But；　Jack；〃　said　the　girl；　her　eyes　burning　with　a　deep　inner
glow；　〃Rupert　has　nothing　to　do　with　it。　　Rupert；　indeed；〃　and　she
laughed　scornfully。　　〃Oh；　Jack；　why　can't　you　see？〃

〃See　what？〃　he　said　crossly。

〃Jack；〃　she　said　softly；　turning　toward　him　and　standing　very　near
him；　〃you　remember　the　note　you　sent　me？〃

〃Note？〃

〃The　note　you　sent　the　night　of　the　hockey　dance？〃

〃Yes；〃　said　Jack　bitterly；　〃I　remember。〃

〃And　you　remember；　too；　how　horrid　I　was　to　you　the　next　time　I　saw
you？　　How　horrid？　　Oh；　Jack；　it　broke　my　heart。〃　　Her　voice
faltered　a　moment　and　her　shining　eyes　grew　dim。　　〃I　was　so　horrid
to　you。〃

〃Oh；　no；〃　said　Jack　coolly；　〃you　were　kind。　　You　were　very　kind　and
sisterly；　as　I　remember。〃

〃Jack；〃　she　said　and　her　breath　began　to　come　hurriedly；　〃I　got
that　note　yesterday。　　Only　yesterday；　Jack。〃

〃Yesterday？〃

〃Yes；　only　yesterday。　　And　I　read　it；　Jack；〃　she　added　with　a　happy
laugh。　　〃And　in　that　note；　Jack；　you　saiddo　you　remember〃

But　Jack　stood　gazing　stupidly　at　her。　　She　pulled　the　note　from
her　bosom。

〃Oh；　Jack；　you　said〃

Still　Jack　gazed　at　her。

〃Jack；　you　will　kill　me。　　Won't　you　hurry？　　Oh；　I　can't　wait　a
moment　longer。　　You　said　you　were　going　to　tell　me　something；
Jack。〃　　She　stood　radiant；　breathless　and　madly　alluring。　　〃And　oh；
Jack；　won't　you　tell　me？〃

〃Adrien；〃　said　Jack；　his　voice　husky　and　uncontrolled。　　〃Do　you
mean　that　you〃

〃Oh；　Jack；　tell　me　quick；〃　she　said；　swaying　toward　him。　　And　while
she　clung　to　him　taking　his　kisses　on　her　lips；　Jack　told　her。
