PAGE 2 11 RAPT! SECOND INSTALLMENT i Fresh frcan a French convent, Jocelyn Harlowe returns to New York to her socially-elect mother, a religious ambitious woman. The girl is hurried into an engagement with the wealth Felx Kent. Her father. Nick Sandal, surreptitously enters the girl's home one night. He tells her he used to call her Lynda Sandal. The girl Is torn by her desire to see life in the raw and to befcme part of her mother's society. Her father studies ner sunuuuuings. Now go on witli the story "U'-hum. I suppose so. Will you get his picture for me?" I "Felix Kent's?" "Sure thing. Your young man's." She laughed. The whole experience began to be an astounding adventure. This father had a way with him that opened a door in her heart. He was so casual, so hard, so vibrant. There had been nothing like him in her life. She hurried to her room to get the picture. She was quick, being really afraid that he might just vanish forever if | she left him. So coming back light-, footed she found him returning tc his place from some swift furtive investigation of the room. She noticed this, but in her confused excitement it made on her at the time no particular impression. Later she was driven to remember it. Her father stocd up to go, catching his cane smothering a cry at the pain all sudden movements cost him. "I mustn't see you again. But? here's my address." He pushed a folded scrap of paper into her hand and bent her fingers over it. "I want you to have that for two reasons. If you ever reed me you can ? ?-- T send I or me or come to me. uu? * advise yo uunless it's a very serious business, to forget me and my whereabouts. The ether reason . . . well, I won't bother with that. May I kiss you?" She lifted her face. She was in tears. She followed him into the small back room, her own bedroom. It startled her to think that he had climbed in at her own little window. Now Sandal got himself painfully cut across its sill and Jocelyn watched him climb down the fire' escaped, swiftly and quietly in spite of his pain and twisted body. Jocelyn shut the window, went back to the lighted front room. This was her father, she thought. One day Felix offered to take her to her office. "Oh, Felix, will you? I'd love to see your office. Will you show me everything? Will you explain everything. In Kent's inner sanetuary she was introduced to Miss Rebecca Deal, a little ruddy sturdy woman with bright eyeglasses and a sturdy saouth. Jocelyn was amused by this new manifestation of womanhood. When Felix left to interview someone in the outer office she sat down in his revolving chair before his great neat handsome desk and looking at Miss with all her eager eyes began to'Question her: "You work here with him every day?" "Half the time he's off, Miss Harlowe, in Chicago or the Southwest. He's interested, as of course you know, in all these minqs." "It seems so queer to me," said Jocelyn with her slow wistful smile, "that all this side of his life just means nothing to me. How much better you know him than I do?" Rebecca blushed and laughed. "I wish I were as clever as you are and had your experience. I would so love. . . Here Felix entered and the girl came toward him, speaking earnestly. A new Jocelyn seemed to meet him at every turn he made. "Felix, can't I learn how to do i.U r n t o uiese tilings lor your i. mean, 11 Miss Deal could teach me, I'd love to work with you, to understand. "You shalll know whatever you want to know, sweetheart." In the limousine, on their way to lunch, Felix spoke tenderly: "I do want you to be in my confidence but I never thought you'd be interested in this sort of thing." "But this sort of thing is just part of all I must know, Felix. I have been so put away and shut up . . . like one of these unlucky princesses in towers. It is horrid to be a midieval infant in a world of grown-up moderns. I much know. I must learn. If I had friends here who could tea:h me. . . young people .. . " Felix controlled a wincing motion, "but without them how shall I ever, fearn unless you will teai'ii mer j_"j you imiiK a couia take a business course, perhaps, after we are married? "You may take any course you like, beloved. '.3ut you mustn't hate your beautiful innocence. It is just because you sre so exquisitely different that I love you." In her own room she sat down on her bed snd thought. After a while she pulled out a big leather Warrenton, N. C.

She dressed herself in a pleated short plaid skirt, a blaek tight jersey, long-sleeved, high in the throat, a little jacket and in a big old tam-o.shanter. Before she put this on her head she ran her fingers back and forth through her sleeked thick hair until it was the wild unruly mop of a golliwog. She went to her mother's room and examined the likeness she had so achieved: a girl with a slim high-colored face, a firm rich mouth, a pair cf tilted gleaming eyes: a girl with a swagger that was made charming by its lines of race and breeding. "Oh, Lynda Sandal," said Jocelyn, "I am going to like you. Maybe it will be wonderful!" There, in the little bedroom, its door locked, coiling a trunk rope around her arm she switched off her light and swung her leg across the window sill. She drove to the address her father had given her. She got out, paid the driver and climbed up the dirty steps of an old-fashioned brownstone building on a street which once must have been lined with somber dwellings. A Japanese bey answered her ring. | "Does Mr. Sandal live here?" -FlirrVit. i,rx ? i CO All. X ICC iiigll w Jocelyn paused before she took the last few steps of her ascent of the three flights of stairs. Across the room Nick Sandal crouched on a battered sofa against the wall. He was twisted up painfully among some tattered cushions and smoked a pipe with deep eager sucking noises, cuddling its bowl in one of his swollen and distorted hands. His bright eyes watched a group of four men playing cards at a table. She came rapidly up the last few steps and stood in the doorway. Nick Sandal, brushing away the smoke of his pipe, made a queer gasping exclamation, then put up his hand as though to prevent an insult and struggled to his feet. "Boys, this is my daughter," he cried out sharply. There was a strained silence in the room. It was Jocelyn herself who broke the silence. "Go on with your game, please," she said, "I came to talk to my father." The men obeyed with alacrity. They returned to their cards and to their smoking, ignoring Nick and his visitor. But one of them, with a wink and twist of his whole face, got up and shut the door. Jocelyn sat down beside the cripple on his battered lounge and put her hand uncertainty on his free nno TTo frvnlr ff. iin oc fVir\norV?

They spoke in low voices, trying to create for themselves an illusion of privacy. "I wanted to see you, Father. I got out the way you showed me. Mother doesn't know I'm here. "Nothing wrong then?" "No. I felt that I must see you. There's something in me that belongs to you. And I am really very lonely." "Lonely? With a fiance and a mother and a crowd of friends?" "Felix is still a stranger.

Laugh that off if you an, Miss Jocelyn Harlowe." She put her hand across his lips. Hush! Not here. Here I'm Lynda landal."

In order to seal ur compact and to show my sinsrity," he stood up, lifted his hand l a great gesture and raised his oice, Lynda, I want you to meet ome of my friends.'' At the changed timbre of his oice, the four card players turned. "Boys, I want to present you to iy daughter, Miss Lynda Sandal, fr. James Drury, Mr. Saul Morison and Mr. Gustave Lowe.

After the men had finally taken heir leave Jocelyn questioned her ather. "What is the hunting grounds?" "A gambling place." "Is that how you make your livng, Father?" He held out his crippled hands vith a gesture and a look which dearly meant, "How could I? No. Tock Ayleward, who is like a son o me, does all of that," he told ler.

There was a time when I took care of him." "He loves you, Father. I can see it when he smiles." "He's not a bad scout but don't get romantic about him, Lynda. He's not the man your Felix is, for instance. He has a poor outlook in life and a character which might be called unstable." "He's loyal to you." "Uh-hum." "There's a sort of stability in that." "Uh-hum. Emotionally I should say he was a sort of bulldog. But that's because .perhaps, he's not been coddled any by life. He knows the value of the lew people that care for him."
