Jim VVynter was about to move
across to her when Malin inter-
cepted her, to whisper someth.ing
with a smile on the heavy, confident
face that somehow made the other
man yearn to kidk him. She saw the
girl shake her head very coldly and
unsmilingly and turn away, leaving
Malin with a frown like a thunder-
cloud—which seemed to afford Wvn-
ter considerable satisfaction. Lester
Malin was a man whom all the girls,
pretty or plain, he felt should snub
on principle.
And anyway it gave him his
chance. He crossed over to her with
his cheery, rather crooked smile—
a smile that mo^t women found fat
more attractive than a bushel of mere
good looks to which, incidentally,
this big man with the lazy, humorous
gray eyes could lay uo claim what-
ever.
“What have I done that you
should cut me dead.^Miss Faring?"
Jim Wynter challenged gaily.
Not that Wynter was surprised
Katharine should have •forgotten
him. They had oply met once be-

duced them at that New York party
given in honor of this rising star.

The little heap of paper money

as once again her stake was raked

“I’ve had something on passe
every time, Jim." Milly told him.
“All the big numbers are coming up
tonight. There you are—29'. That’s
another win,” she added breathless-
ly. as theslowing ivory ball dropped
into its number slot.
A big. florid nian. whose name
was Malin, rose disgustedly from his
chair.
“i don't’believe the bally wheel’s
true,” he murmured to Wynter. "Oh,
not Hildreo's fault—1 don't mean
that, but III swear the .infernal

PERVERSITY
Malin looked in a decidedly evil
humor. The younger mao grinned
unsympathetically. He had no par-
ticular use for bad losers. Besides
Malin had more money than was
good for him. Time be learned to be
a sportsman and lose decently.
Again tfie ball was spun. Then:
"Twenty-three—rroug&TT-passe," an-
nounced Hildren.
