DARLING FOOL

(Continued from Pape 8.).

the messenger boy, lifted his brows at the sight.

"They're from Mr. Mackenzie," Monica stammered, rather at a loss bafore Charles' quizzical glance. Why was it lately, that he had seemed so strange; almost cool to her? He was always nice, to Kay, chaffing her in pleasant, brotherly fashion. With Monnlo he seemed formal, almost distant, in his man? ner.

"Did you want-Kay's working late to-night," Monnie went on, still rather at a loss.

"I knew that." Charles Inld his stick on the hall table and Monnia saw that he was in evening clothes. "I'm going on to the Willard's for dinner. They're giving a dance for Ellen,"

So that was it, Monnie thought. Ellen Willard, the daughter of the new family who had taken the Law- rence's house, was a beauty as well as brilliant intellectually. She and Charles would be certain to hit it uff well.

"I'm wishing you all a happy Christmas," Charles told her for- mally. He weighed his stick in his hand, giving the mammoth florist's box another quizzical glance.

"I knew Mackenzie in Monto Carlo," he said irrelevantly.. "Nice fellow-very,"

"Oh, he is," Monnie said with en- thusiasm. And then felt rather foolish, thinking her tone sounded gushing. It was horrid of Charles to make her feel so! What was the matter with them both? Couldn't they be friends any more? Her mother camo in just then and the conversation took an easier trend, became general. Monnic had dreaded Christmas this year but somehow the spell of the old. familiar things, the scent of pine, the holly wreaths in all the wind- owa, the children singing carols, took hold of her. She reproached herself for the pleasure she felt in it. Why, it must be wrong! Dan was gone. There was no Christ- mas for him this year. How could she go on without him, how find any pleasure in the season?

Perhaps that was what Charles meant when he looked at her so oddly. Perhaps he thought she was shallow and had no heart.
