SYNOPSIS
At the close of a soy Convent Gar
den Ball box party given by Lady
George Cornish and her husband
, Lumley, Teddy Sherwood attacks
Tony Fortescue, disinherited scion of
i noble family, because the latter un
hinkingly monopolised the society of
i Christie Burning. It is a case of loxfe
if first sight with the adoring couple.
1 Sherwood is worsted in the fray by
Fortescue who is not really a black
luard but a throwback to the days of
:.ls swashbuckling ancestors. Sher
wood failing strikes his head. Tony
t nd Ghrissic take him home. He is
still angry and demands an explana
tion.
"Oh, so you’re the latest, are you?
You're the new one to kneel down
and kiss the boots ot this damned
humbug. You're all the same, the
toi of you. You put up barbed wire
ind virtuous notices against the de
cent people you come across, but let
x wily skunk sneak in with a mov
ing-; Afire profile and down go your
■defences and you hand yourself
away. God, it makes me sick 1"
"Oh, so you're the latest, are you?
said Teddy. You're the new one to
kneel and kiss the boots of this damned
humbug."
The smooth-footed presence of
Beppo with a tablecloth brought the
argument to a stop for a moment.
Accustomed to seeing strange peo
• pie in that room at all hours of the
day and night, his childlike, expres
sive face showed no surprise at the
sight of a girl in the costume of the
ballet and the familiar Tony in the
decadent garments of a Dulac illus
tration. Nor was he in the smallest
degree upset because his master’s
head was bandaged. It all belonged
to what he called life, and it ap
pealed to the natural passion for
dramatics that plays so strong a
part in Italian psychology.
As 'Soon as he was out of the
room, the ball was in play again,
this time in Chrissie’s hands.
“I don’t know what you mean by
all that, Teddy,” she said quietly,
“and it don’t seem to me to be any
use to make another scene. It's
very simple, all of it. I'm just ai
sorry a* Tony is for spoilin' yogi;
evening, but it’s as much my fault
as his. All those hours were like a
tninute to me too, because just the
same thing happened to me as hap
pened to him."
"I know that. You're only telling
me what I told you.”
“Yes,” replied Chrissie, watching
every word with the greatest care,
in order to try and live up to Tony’s
wonderful flow. “But with this dif
ference.”
“What difference?”
“You think Tony went nutty
about me as he’s been nutty about
■ther girls.”
“So would you, if yon knew any
thing about him.”
“No. You’re wrong there, too.
You won’t let yourself understand
vliat I mean when I say that this
vus meant,”
“Meant?” The word completely
floored him.
“Yes. It .was marked out to come,
and it would have come just the
i same if I hadn’t gone with you to
the ball. Tody and I had to meet
tonight, we had to. and we should
have done it at the corner of a
street, in a chemist’s shop, any old
place.
Sherwood shot out a scornful and
incredulous guffaw.
“And having met”—a rising emo
tion put her off her grammatical
guard—“we’re not goin’ to cut loose
again never in our lives. See? It’s
inc and him against the bloomin'
world I”
She left her nurse’s place at the
head of the sofa, and with a dignity
and finality that proved to poop old
Teddy that hi* hopes were dead,
placed her head on Tony’s cheat and
dosed her eyes in peace.
if they imagined that they had
\
“How touching,”'he said, with the
best attempt at sarcasm of which he
waa capable. “If I had a camera j
handy, you’d make a Leautiful pho
tograph of love’s young dream. But
unless Tony’s the monkey the man
agers asked you to find, how do you
thick you’re going to set up a house
tor your domestic bliss? Is he go
ing to pinch one when nobody’s
looking, or are you both coming to
live on me?"
The entrance of Beppo again, this
time with a large tray of cups and
plates, spoilt the effect of the heavy
insults with which Sherwood had
hoped to draw blood. It is more thas
probable that he would have been
rewarded with a smile. There waj
genuine humour in the last sug
gestion.
As it was, Chrissie drifted to tbs
window over which the blinds were
drawn, and Tony strolled casually
to the table on which there was the
familiar cigarette box and helped
himself.
"And as to all this fatalistic muck
that you’re trying to hide behind,”
continued the unscientific fighter, a:
soon as Beppo had gone, "it doestn
go down with me. If you were frank
and were to tell me that you wem
mesmerised, I might believe you,
Chrissie. That blighter has mes
merised me often enough for money
and food and roof. And if you wer?
to say that you’re going off thj
straight because of the suffering
you’ve had and are going to chuck
yourself away on any woman's mail
in a violent reaction, I might even
believe you there. But this pifflf
about 'having to meet’ and being
together against the world—Whal
do you take me for?" '
“These cigarettes are a little toe
dry, old boy/’ said Tony) endeavour
ing to change a perfectly useless con
versation. "There’s a little man in
Jcrmyu Street—”
“Oh, shut up,” cried Teddy. “You’re
not going to put me off like that
You may not know it, and it wouldn’t
matter to you if you did, but Chris
sie’s my friend. I’ve been her slave
and bottle-washer for the last six
months, and you're not going to get
away with this high-handed com
mandeering as lightly as you think
It’s all in a day's work for you, this
sort of thing. You’ve only to bat
your eyes at a woman to take her
from any man she’s with. But I’m
going to fight to'save Chrissie from
- you as long as there’s one damn bit
of truth left in me. She’s worth it”
"I agree with you there,” said
Tony. “Fight to the last gasp. I like
you for it”
Sherwood sat up straight, swung
round, and put his feet on the floor.
The towel nad slipped a little ovei
his left ear. His collarless shirt from
which the studs had been taken gaped
as dress shirts will. He cut a strange
figure in that prosaic room. “I love
this girl,” he cried out, with a depth
of feeling that made his voice un
steady. “I’d sell my soul for her.
Unlike you, who will drop her in a
week, I’ve asked her to be my wife,
over and over again. And unlike you,
who live by the skin of your teeth,
I'ih in a position to make her happy
and comfortable, give her a house in
the country if she’d like it, with a
car and a maid and dogs to walk
with, and settle my business on her
to win a smile. Have you asked her
to be your wife? Have you? You bet
you haven’t. You think that just be
cause you call yourself the Honour
able Anthony Stirling-Fortescue—
and preciqus few people believe you
are—that you can take what you
want and nde loftily over all the rest
of us. But if, before Chrissie goes
any further, she’ll take the trouble to
look up your record at Bow Street,
she’ll probably find that you’re as
common a man as I am and without
as honest a father. I ask her to Oq
it, that’s all. I ask her to remain un
charmed long enough to make en
quiries, to be the ‘hands-off Chrissie
to you that she's always been to me.
That’s fair, and I deserve that Don’t
I? Come, don’t I? Both of you?”
And he flung out his arms in a sort
of pathetic appeal, unware of the fact
that tears were streaming down his
face. And then, taking advantage o{
Tony’s utter speechlessness, he sprang
to his feet went unsteadily to Qr.it
sie and seized her by the wrist. “Own
up, go on, own up. You haven’t an)
more true idea who this man is than
I have, have you? And he hasn’l
asked you to be his wife and haj
never come anywhere near it has he?
Say it Say ,it"
“No, he hasn’t” said Christie
quietly. “Ana I never expected him
to. r
"What!— You never expected him
to? You —who have been through aq
the cities with verboten on you
back?” /
“This is different Teddy” As
i said, "I’ve tried to tell you so.” r

different direction from town.
The first was in the Vartown sec

One occupant in the negroes' car.
Malt Mullins, was injured. He re
ceived several painful bruises about
the face and head.
Later on, about 12 oc.ock two
Ford cars had a head-on collision
near Maiden, on the Xewton-Liw*
colnton highway. Both cars were
complete wrecks. One was a coupe
driven by Lee Bainev. of Lenoir, ac
companied by two ladies, and was
headed in that direction. The other
was an old Ford touring car and was
occupied by four or five young men.
One of the men is said to have lost
an eye in the crash- Two bottles of
whiskey and a lady’s hat was picked
up near the wreck. The ramies of the
men in the touring car have not been

1 Statesville, Sept. 6. Thirty-six

Each truck is driven by a de

an examination and received special
instruction in the operation and ogre
of the truck. During the past year a
