PETE INTERFERED.
_
He Was Not Returned and Healed

By CLARISSA MACKIE.
[Copyright, 1910, by American l’ress Asso
ciation.)
Kvelyu, having returned her engage
ment ring to Utchnnl Ilullum, was col
lecting her other gifts for the same
purpose when it occurred to her that
she would like to keep one of them.
What should she retalu?
Why, l*ote.
She caressed his brttidlod coat, and
a strange lump came Into her throat
as hi* pink tonguo licked her little,
riligless hand. Then she sat up and
blinked buck the brightness to her eyes
and completed her tusk.
She wondered If KlehurU would come
tonight. No; he would sulk one day,
and then tomorrow evening he would
come.
1 lie next day Evelyn shopped and
lull l: d and called with exceeding dil
k itc in the afternoon sin* slip

own sitting room. There were.no let
ters, no messages—nothing for ner.
In the evening Mr. llallam was nn

wild beating of her heart and dallied
over the adjustment of a rose in her
hair. Il would be ail right after nil.

moment. I will ring for Martin to
bring them.”
They sat In silence until Martin's fat
white calves staggered Into the room
under the weight of hu assortment of
neatly tied packages. Evelyn stared
miserably at the sight. Hallam grin
ned broadly. “Looks like a Christ
mas festival,” he said, with ill timed
levity.
Martin deposited tho packages on
the floor and departed. Dick Ilallam
drew a slip of paper from his pocket.
"I have an Inventory here,” he re
marked, with n businesslike nir that
was disconcerting. Evelyn felt that
she was the victim of some horrible
nightmare. It could not bo possible
that Dick Hallam had been so mean
ns to keep an account of the gifis he
had given on birthdays and at Chrlst
tnnstide! Where was the generosity
and love that had always character

one another with frigid politeness, and!
then Evelyn turned her attention to!
Pt-rcle Goodall, who took her In. while
Itichard devoted himself to Maty Cam

now.
“For a good, all around, cotupaulon

telligent and a genuine sport, com
mend me to a Boston terrier,” he suid
enthusiastically.
Evelyn shot an apprehensive glance
across the table, llullam was discuss
ing an entree with careful attention,
but she knew ho bad heard Good all’ll
loud, crisp tones.
“Oh, yes,” she said carelessly, ‘‘dogs i
arc interesting, but I want to hear
about that skating rink you are build
ing nt Vineeliff. Mr. Goodall.”
•'But,” expostulated Goodall, "I
thought you Wore a dog lover, Miss
Lovell. Surely your Peto won n blue 1
ribbon!” *
“Yes, yes,” she interrupted In ago I
nlzcd baste Why should ho persist
in talking about horrible dogs? "I
adore them, you know, only I want to
hear about the rink now,” she added
In a low tone.
“Very well," ho laughed good na
luredly, “exit, the dog and enter tho
rink! It’s a tnnk 100 feet square; |

will be queen of the festivities! IIow's
that?”
“That will !)o delightful,” she said,
with a relieved laugh. Dick was
frowning into his plate now. and she
felt u little better. It was apparent
that Mr. llallam was experiencing the
pangs of jealousy. s *
After that they went to the play, ntvjl
Dick llallam still danced attendance6
upon Mary Cameron.
“Nice girl, Miss Cameron,” venture ill
Goodall as he helped Evelyn into berfl

for the last time. ^
“Lovely!” exclaimed Evelyn enthusi

“Engaged to llnllnm’s cousin, isn't
she?” aske#*Goodall.
“I didn't know,” faltered Evelyn.
“So they-,gay. Bob.llullnm is*in tho
Philippines, you know. The engage-1
ment hasn’t been announced, although
I it leaked out at the club.”
"Oh!” said Evelyn, and it is not on
record what Evelyn thought.

solftnderof her room she had attacked

One crisp morning she sallied forth*
with Pete at her heels. She shopped
without enthusiasm, and then, qvu*-J
come by a weariness that was unnht/,
urul to her buoyant temperament, she
went into a certain smart little turn
room and ordered luncheon. Pete’tel

ent to the tempting sights and smells,
that surrounded him.
The room was deserted save for her
self and a group at another table in

discussed her salad languidly. Suil- 1

It was Richard Hallnm who was si»ot- ,
ed at tho opposite table—and of course i
the Cameron girl. She lifted lier cbin '
with hauteur and bowed coldly. He
returned It stlflly. She thought he was i
looking pale and tired and somewhat 1
bored. It was strange that such a !
busy lawyer as Hnllain could spend
time dangling after a creature like the
Cameron girl. Oh, everything was
