“Why not?" he demanded. "You think me too old?"

She did, but this was hardly the time to tell him so. “Oh. it's not that." she lied hastily, “I-I just mean that I didn't think you'd marry again."

His eyes held hers, harried her. "I spoke too quick, you mean." he suggested, "You mean perhaps by and by you change your mind?"

Then she heard herself way, as if somebody else were using ner voice: “It's-it's just because I'm already married. you see." He star- ed at her wide-mouthed. Then: “You-married?" he echoed in- creduloualy, "Hui. you never tell me. You let me thlnk—"

But he was prepared for that. and it was plain he was going to find out what it was that she did not wont him to see. He spread "aut the picture of Bing. read the cap- tion beneath it. Finished with the picture he glanced at the ring. then his eyes met Joneseyﬁ.
