FIRST LOVES By Felix Diesenberg Twentieth Installment "Josephine. We might as well face the facts.” "Why, Marvin! Are you about to propose?” She sat on the arm of the great chair and stroked; his head. "Why have you lit up that por trait of Gilbert?” "Because it reminds me of, well, of him, and John.” "You know all about-the rela tionship?” "Right, old guardian. Now what? Must I split?” "My dear young lady. You don’t know John.'’ "Well, more than half of the estate is my own. You know I've made money. Hanging onto this house has paid. You know the offer. If John Breen expects me to drag him in here and give him either, well, I may have to do it. Of course he knows.” "Yes.” "I thought so. Well, Marvin, I’m getting back into society a gain, what there is left of it, and 'Mrs. Van Horn’ won’t sound so bad. He’ll have to change his name, that’s all.” "I was hoping he would. Jose phine. Oh, girl, you are good, and wise.” "I’m going to settle things pret ty soon Marvin.” "Good night, my dear. Will you kiss an old man?” "There! now be good.” It was getting on into Novem ber. Josephine Lambert had cany things to think about. What a difficult boy John was. Of course he was different, essentially a gen tleman, and she, in a measure, knew why he was so reluctant to pay ac tive court to her. But she knew he was impressionable, romatic, fervent, and she knew he was lost, in the interminable maze surround ing them. The whole bulking, swelling body of the town was chokine her. it was literallv chok- l ing her with money and disgust. Two weeks before Osman Snow, alis Sknowvitzky, had paid, in cash, a sum so staggering she hard ly believed her eyes. Quite cleverly (she had acted unintentionally) her reluctance to part with the old Van Horn house had resulted in many, many thousands of addi tional dollars. In another month, however, she would have to move out. Another month. Two weeks of the last month had gone by. She had not seen John Breen. Judge Kelly arrang ed to inform her of his where abouts The old Judge was as ex cited as a harpooner. Another week went by. Already Josephine was feeling the necessity of pack ing. Of course it could be done quickly, and many things could simply be left to auctioneers. "Mr. Breen has the Engineers’ Club. He is going to the Public Library.” It was an important call, arranged for her by Judge Kelly, Josephine Lambert motored down Park Avenue, it was surer. She left her car at the Grand Central and walked over to Fifth Avenue. For the longest kind of a time she waited. Would he leave by the side door on Forty-Second Street? She swore under her breath, rath er competently, and she would have liked to light a cigarette, as many men aia dui tne stupiu city had yet to advance a few more stages before women could be en tirely at home on the streets. It was mid-afternoon. John had lunched leisurely, and had consult ed the files of the papers back in 1909. He used the Times Index, and was rewarded by several refer ences to Almon Strauss. He was piecing together information for his own use. Strauss was im mensely wealthy, almost a com plete mystery, as to fact, a nebul ous theory, as to report. Since the talk with Almon Strauss, John came to realize more and more the utter futility of merely planning. No one can tell the city what to do. It does things, and offers no excuses. As John walked down from the library, across the broad steps, Josephine saw him at once. He went southward along the Avenue strolling casually, swinging a cane, hardly looking at any one. Jose phine crossed over and walked a short distance behind him. She smiled grimly at the business. Several acquaintances saw her, she bowed stiffly and dropped back. It was a deadly business. But John did look rather trim. He walked easily, he had an air about him. For the first time the humor of the situation dawned upon Josephine. She almost laughed, she was so cer tain of her ability; but he would have to pay her for this, pay her well, and, of course, he would never know what he was making up for. John crossed Thirty-fourth Street, hesitated a moment, as if ibout to enter-the Waldorf. Jose phine, on the north side of the street shuddered. Thank heaven he had not entered that place. Of course she would have followed him, but the necessity was thank fully past. At Twenty-fifth Street he again stopped apd read the iron valve sop covers. Catskill Walter Then he bought a paper, and'.foi t moment, seemed interested. He walked across into the park. Jose phine also bought 'a paper. She was getting intensely wrought up in the chase. A picture caught her eye. "Almon Strauss Defini |ely Abandons bureau or City Plan. There was not much else. She wondered what John was so upset ibout. His jaunty step was gone. He had tossed the paper into a can ind it was immediately retrieved by a bum. Josephine dropped her paper behind a low rail, on the half-dead grass. "The city is al ways being abondened,” she re marked thoughtfully. Soon she would abondon it herself. She smiled at the thought. Josephine was a good stout walker, the air was cool, it was getting a bit dusky. John was on Third Avenue, and strolled along. He hardly knew where he was go ing. So Almon Strauss was quit - ting. Well, he was quitting toe. The London crowd* had cabled him only a few days before All he had to do was say "yes.” Five years' work at least, in Manchuria. He felt better, even in his lonesome ness At Ninth Street, he walked East to St. Mark’s-in-the Bouwerie. and then he was near the site of the old Cafe Boulevard. "Oh, John!” Josephine called to him. She was running toward him. "I saw you a block away. I was going home. Where in the name of common sense have you been?” There she was, before him. There they st<5od. The whole neighborhood had changed, since —since—well, it was no use talk ing. He was glad to see her, doub ly glad. It was all so sudden and unexpected. Onlv the day before Judge Kelly had met him at luncheon, and had suggested that he owed her a call, at least. "A fine woman, John, a good woman.” Night was stealing over the city, chill night. The rackety old East Side rattled away. Strangers were passing. Mean spreets are doubly mean in cold weather. It was six o’clock. They turn ed west, toward the subway. ''1 usually leave my car, when Em down here.” She told the plain truth, but not much of it. They were near the Astor Place station. "You must come home with me, John, you look tired. Do.” "Thanks, Josephine, if you will have me. I was about to suggest dinner somewhere.” "We’ll dine at home, just you and me. Oh, I am so glad to see you, John.” He changed a coin, they were clapped through the turnstile. A crowd covered the platform. They were wedged together. "I have been wondering, just now, what is to become of us— you and me?” She looked up at him, her long lashes dropped. She was young, so very young it seem ed. They were crushed into a train, he tried to shield her, his arm over her shoulder against^ a column. Her presence was grateful, com forting, as if he had always been with her, as if she was, well, was what a wife should be, safe, reas suring, lovable. At Fourteeni|h Street the greater part of the crush squeezed out, attempting to enter an express and save two minutes. Conversation on the train was impossible, a few seats were avail able. Josephine, who never Used the subway, sat very close to John, shoved against him by a man in foul overalls, a man with an evil smelling paper hanger’s kit be tween his knees. The East Side tube, carrying the returning deni zens of upper Harlem and the Bronx, the black and the white, the drab and gray, rocked and shunted, stopped and started with, jerks, and pounded on flat wheels and with screaming brakes. A song was reverberating through Jose phine, "I’ve got him at last! I’ve got him at last. They walked across narrow Fif - ty-ninth Street. John thought how significant numbers are in the great city. Fifty-nine. Mjen at fifty-nine are old, at least so it seemed to John. They walked up Madison Avenue and turned into the familiar cross-town street. High buildings hedged in the Van Horn home. The Japanese butler opened the door. * * s "I am not at home, Tashi.” "Yes, madam.” Dinner was served in the dark dinning room: John and Josephine hardly talked. She had changed her street gown, in an incredbily short time. "You know I have no special maid now, John. Just the cook, Tashi and a boy. Oh, I have changed.” She blushed becomingly. "I dress myself, do my hair. See.” She unwound a thick coil, stretch ed it out at arm’s length and wound it back in place. They were in the drawing room, she stood before a mirror. "I hope it’s straight.” She was in negligee of net with a coat of gold lace and cream. It was a dangerously fem inine thing, filmy with ruffles and roses, easily crushed. A breath of vague perfume filled the room; par fume Josephine; CONTINUED NEXT WEEK CENTRAL ITEMS Central Grange had a call meet ing Saturday night, October 29th for the purpose of boosting the grange.
