Tim far Hob had yielded precedence I to hla father, but he could no longer restrain himself. "Now let me take the chnlr." he commanded, easily. "My i niltul Is made up. You see, 1 didn't i marry 'Peter Knight, residence Vale,' nor 'James Knlnht. reputation had,' i nor even 'Mathilda Knight, wife of Peter." I married tblt kid. ud tb book tre closed.

And uudentand this: You can't Krsft off me. You and your family are due for a great disap pointment. Hob hasn't a uy thing, and he won't have until 1 die, but I'm good for tidily years yet. I'm not going to disinherit him. I'm merely going to w lt until you both i;ct tired. Take my word for It, poverty I tbe most tire some tlduK In (lie world." "We can manage." said Lorelei. "You speak for yimivelf. but h can't make a living uulesa be ba aoinethinic In him that I never discov ered. I fear you'll find blm rather a heavy burden." Throughout the Interview Mr. Whar ton bad kept bis temper quite perfect ly, and his coolness at this moment argued a greater fliity of purpose than mluht have been Inferred from a dis play of rage. Me made a final appeal to hla son: "I'au't yoll ee that It won't do at all. HobV I won't stand para site, unless they're my own.

She supporting three loafers; I dare any she nan take care of another, but It Isn't quite rigid to put It upon her she's sure to weary of It some time. Y'ou'll notice I've said nothing about your mother so far, but ahe' with me In this. I'll be In the city for several days, ami I'd like to have you return to Pittsburgh with me when I go. Moth er Is expecting you. If you decide to stick It out" Wharton's face showed more than a trace of feeling, his deep voice lowered a tone "you niuy go to hell, with my compliment, and I'll sit on the lid to keep you there." He rose, took his bat, and stalked out of the apartment without 10 much as a backward glance. CHAPTER XVIII. "Whewl That wa a knockout. But who got licked?" Bob weut to the lit tle sideboard and helped himself to a stiff drink. "Did he mean ltr "My dear, time wear away moun tains, and rivers dry up. and the whole solar syslem Is gradually running down, I believe; but dad Isn't governed by any natural law whatsoever. He's I built of reinforced concrete, and time hardens him. lies impervious to rust or decay, and gravity exerts no power over lilm." "Then I think you'd better make your choice tonight." j i Hob's eyes opened. "I have. Don't you understand? I'm going to Btiuid pat that is, unless" he hesitated, bis smile was a bit uncertain "unless j I you're sick of your bargain. I'm afraid : you haven't come out of tbe deal very t well. Y'ou thought I was rich and so did I until a moment ago but I'm not. I've run through a good deal. I don't blame you for considering me a tine catch or for marrying me. You see, 1 never expected to dud a girl who'd take me for anything except my money, so I'm not offended or disappointed or surprised. A bank account looms up Just as big on l'lfth avenue a it does on Amsterdam, and there aren't any more love matches over there than else where. I'm not blind to my short-com ings, either: there are a lot of bad habits watting to be acquired by a ebap with time and money like me. I can't live without booze; 1 don't know bow to earn a living; I'm a corking spendthrift. That' one side. Balanced against that, I possess let me see 1 possess a fair seuse of humor. Not a very even accouut, Is It?" l'or ouce lu hi life Bob (bowed un mistakable self -consciousness; this was, so far a Lorelei knew, bl maid en effort to be serious. He ran ou hur riedly: "What 1 mean to convey I this: I have no regrets, no questions to ask, no reproaches I got all 1 ex pected, aud all 1 waa entitled to when 1 inn riled you. But It seem that you've been cheated, and I'm ready to do the square thing. I'll step aside and give you another chance, if you say so." During this little declaration Lorelei had watched him keenly; she appeared to be seriously weighing bis offer. "I wa getting pretty tired of. things," Re added, "and I s'pose I'd have wound up In tbe D. T. parlor of some highly exclusive Institution or be hind a bathroom door with a gaa tube tn my teetb. , But I met you, and you went to my head. 1 wanted yon worse than I ever wanted anything worse even than I ever wanted liquor. And now I have you. I've had you for one day, and that' something. I suppose It' Billy to talk about starting over I don't want to reform If I don't have "Walt. Please " "Beautiful!" Ills eyes were aflame. "You're my w ife. Nothing can change that." "Nothing except yourself. Now, you must listen to me." She forced blm re luctantly Into his chair and seated her self opposite. He leaned forward and klBsed her once more, then seined her baud and held It. At Intervals be crushed Ids Hps Into Its pink palm. ''We must stint honestly," she began. "Do you mind if I hurt you?" "Y'ou can't hurt me so long a you don't leave me. Your eyes have haunt ed me every night. I've seen the curve of your neck your lips. No woman was ever so perfect, so maddening." "Always that. Y'ou're not u husband at this moment: you're only a man." He frowned slightly. "That's wluit makes this whole mat ter so difficult." she went on. "Don't yon see?" He shook bis bend. "Y'ou don't love nie, you're drunk with something altogether different to love. . . . It's true," she insist ed. "You show It. Y'ou don't even know the real me." "Beauty may he only a skin dis ease," Hob laughed, "but ugliness goe clear to the bone." "I married yon for your money, and you .married me because I seemed physically perfect because my face and my body roused tires In you. I think we nre both pretty rotten at heart, don't you?" "No. Anyhow, I don't enre to think about It. I never won anything by thinking. Kiss me again." She ignored his demand, with her shadowy smile. "I deliberately traded on my looks; I put myself up for a price, and you paid Hint price regard less of everything except your desires. We muddled things dreadfully and got our deserts. I didn't love you. I dou't love you now nny more than you love me; but I think we're coming to re spect each other, and that Is a begin ning. Y'ou have longings tn be some thing different and better; so have I. l et's try together. 1 have It In me to succeed, but I'm not sure about you." "Thanks for the good cheer." "You're afraid you can't make a Hy ing for us I know you can. I'm mere ly afraid you won't." "What do you mean?" he asked. "I don't believe the liquor will lot you." "Nonsense. Any man can cut down." " Tutting down' won't do for us, Bob." He thrilled anew at her Intl- WlXm "I Dlvorc th Demon Rum." mate use of his name.
