"You are staying at the 'Australian,' are you not?"
"Yes, why?"
"Oh, nothing. I thought I saw you there the other day. Miss Kelley, will you mind my bar for a few minutes?" and she hurried away.
"You've upset Miss Harris," said the other lady, coming forward.
"I am sorry. It was quite unintentional," said Hal.
"You know she and Wyck are great friends?"
"Well, I heard something about it, but as Wyck is such an outrageous flirt I did not take much notice of it."
"But they are engaged and going to be married shortly."
"Lucky fellow," answered Hal, with a smile.
