Cleveland Hrown switched on ie headlight in the big limousine and gazed pon them with the same sensation he would ave experienced if she had produced a couple f white rabbits from her cigarette case. One was a check for three thousand dollars, ayable to Ray Connable and signed by Clevemd Hrown. The other was a letter of the same date, on is own engraved stationary and it read — "Dear Kay — Here is the check for the first ayment on the bungalow. Please do not lank me because I don't know when anything as given me more pleasure. I feel almost ke a family man already — "Yours as always, Cleveland Brown." As simple as that. He wet his lips. How lever she had been. " You didn't cash the check," he commented. "I'm no piker," said Ray Connable. It didn't seem possible that he had been such n idiot. His motives had been of the purest. It had 11 been in fun. They had kidded so much bout their fake engagement. It was her ivorite joke. And she'd always seemed grateul and sweet and appreciative. How could he lave dreamed! Would anyone else have sustected? That check for the bungalow, the California •ungalow to which she was to bring her mother .nd the two kiddies. He looked at her sternly. "Why, Ray," he aid, "you know what I meant. You couldn't ake my — kindness, and use it to injure me." He saw her wince. Her eyes dropped. And hen she flung her head up with a quick, hard jravado. "Why not," she said, half-impudently, halfjassionately. "Why not? It's all I've got to ight with. Oh, I've been watching you. Dther girls have mothers, or great names and xisitions, or homes, or even children. They ill do it so innocently, it looks beautiful. But ihey're playing the same game I am. This is :he only chance I've ever had. Money's the inly thing that's any good to a girl. The only :hing she can protect herself with. Money — >r a rich husband. I advise you to marry me, Clevie." "But — you never — you didn't really want to marry me?" "Oh, yes, I always meant to. And I'd have done it, too, long ago if Leda O'Neil hadn't come along. Later, when he talked to Scoop Wilson about it, Scoop said: "Of course she'll do it. I know the lawyer she's hired and he's a bearcat for that kind of stuff. Why shouldn't she?
