CHAPTER XLIII
For all Lottie's artful planning,
dinner at Holiday House that evening was singularly unroman- tle. There were no lovely gowns and there was no lingering over a candle-lit table, no strolling in the moonlight. It proved to be the first evening since the girls" arrival that no one dressed for dinner.
Their departure from Grenada was delayed, the carpenters taking a great deal of time to decide final- ly that they could not begin work on the hangar for at least a week. The motor boat left the harbour two hours later than they had planned. Sam, the untive boy, was at the wheel while Barry and Steve apent most of the trip in rather dia- gruntled discussion.
When they arrived at the house they found the table on the veran dali atli set for dinner, the flowers drooping under the electric light and fireflies gathering on the ter-
race.
The food in the kitchen had long since cooled and lost its flavoursomeness.
"I sent the maids, home for the night," Miss Gracie sald, unper- turbed. "There seemed to be no knowing when you'd come. thought you might have dined at Grenada."

"Well, we can't lure those car- penters here for a week yot," Steve announced. "I was going to buy this girl a pair of monkeys to take back to New York-"
Back to New York! Mona felt her heart throb sharply, her checks suddenly grow cold. Stove and Barry were thinking then of their departure!
"Don't buy those monkeys yet n while," Barry said hastily and Mona sighed, reassured. "We'ra not going to let Mona and Lottle get away for a long time. They haven't acen half the sights yet."

Barry and Stove glanced at each other and burst out laughing.
"Let Lottie tell you that one, Barry. I can't do it justice."
They listened to Lattie's divert- ing version of the affair on the boat but when she related the gift of Barry's portrait to Coleste the mon became instantly sober.
"Great heavens, that practically constitutes an engagement" Stevo exclaimed.
"But she was honest, anyhow. She Inalated Barry hadn't paid much attention to her," retorted Lottle.
Steve rone, "Yes, that's honest, only a little too mild. You might as well any a man pays no atten- tion to a mosquito buzzing around him 24 hours of the day."
MACON GREETS DAWN ON FIRST FLIGHT
As the two girls mounted the stairs Lottle and quietly, "At least Barry doesn't want us to hurry away

could hardly have said less. Stavo practically put us aboard the Miranda."
"Ho didn't menn it that way," maintained Lottle. "He really did promise to get me some mon- keys and I told him to wait until wo were ready to leave."
In her flowing negligee Mona stood before the mirror, brush in hand, har bronze hair floating.over her shoulders: Fór a neither girl spoke. The brush moment
plied, evenly with long, deft strokes.
"She's a great one," was Lottie's thought. "Her heart is breaking but sho doesn't forget the đỡ |strokes—or is it 50 or 100?"
::.
It was, as a mintter of fact, 160 that night. The brush was re- placed in the dresser drawer. Mona moved from chair to closet hanging this away and smoothing out that, taking out fresh gar menta for the next day.
Sented on the bed, Lottle awung one foot røffectively and watched her
"Maybe we'd better go soon, Lot. Įtie,” Mona remarked presently in
a low voice.
"Before you've talked about the will or anything to Barry?".
Monn sprend both hands wido. "How can I? I might possibly say something to Stove but neither
one"
"Neither one has recognized your marringe," finished Lottle, | rising. "Well, I'm rendy'to go if you say so, Mona, but my advice is to get into action! Listen, to- morrow, I'll corral Steve and take him some place. That will leave. you and Barry alone so you can talk to him. Tell him why you came. Tell him you love him. You do, don't you? Ho can't do anything more than call you a for ward bussy and after that you'll know where you stand! Tell him you're the fourth wealthiest wo- man in New York now and want (Continued on Page 10.)
