Dan was puzzled to know why Alester had not kept his appoint- at with Leontine and why he and came to Miss Starr's home, un- til he rementberal that he had leff Jerry's note on his dresser.
Alester often came into his ruum at Carmoor. Until they met Jerry they had been on fairly good terms. Dan knew too much of Alester's past to feel any warm friendship for him, but he was too sensible to set himself up as monitor of a man with whom his business brought hlm in contact.
The realization that Alester was jealous of Jerry added nothing to Dan's happiness. He hadn't believed that Alester would spend much time with a nice girl of the "lower middle class," but now be wondered if he might not have misjudged him in another way.
Suppose he should want to marry Jerry! The idea of Jerry embracing marriage with a philan- derer such as Alester made him shudder; not merely because ha loved her himself but because he

“She... er, changed her plans," he suld evasively.
"Well, you needn't wait for me,” Jerry returned emphatically. "I'm going home with Dan."
"If you do," Alester said theral eningly, "I see that you don't go to Atlantic City with Weinertz's show."
Dan's reference, to the Lebaudy place had reminded her that Ales- ter, loo, had imputed a taste for wild life to the modern-girl, even to one who was not of the stage. He was conţinually trying to break down her opposition to night clubs and roadhouses. He seemed to think it waя a pose."
Jerry stared at him in astonish- ment. She hadn't dreamed that he cared so much about, anything she| "He's been playing around with ilght do. But to threaten her, the live ones so long he thinks "You can't have me fired,” she everybody else ought to be burled."”

Alester smiled at her.
"Pretty clever, Jerry," he said admiringly. Her unexpected on position to him, had cooled his temper a trifle. It also served to femind in that Jerry was a stub. born little creature who couldn't
