"By November a girl like Miss Preston might be married to some one else," retorted Dan Dalzell. "It was a fool risk to take, Dan!" "If you look at it that way." "Will you promise me not to take the risk again, Danny boy ?" "No." "It's a serious affair, then, so far as you are concerned," grinned Dave, though in the dark Dan could not see his face.
