His pudgy hands fumbled with the sheets. Then on page three of the paper, he found what he wanted. "Look at that!" Under a big heading of "Honey moon Couple Sail for Europe," was a smiling, handsome picture three columns wide of Henry and his bride, the lovely Virginia Ran dolph! "The double-crossing cad!" breathed Julie, as white as a sheet. Her eyes stared at the hateful pic ture. She had an impulse to drive her clenched fist into the radiant, smiling face of the young bride Henry's wife! At his wits' end what to say, Willie mumbled; "Say, she's a swell looker, anyway." "He's a Judas!" Willie said helplessly, desperate ly sorry for Julie: "He seemed like an awfully nice, square-shooting chap to me. I I'm surprised at all this." "He never told me a thing about it! Why why don't you know we were engaged?" grasped Julie. "No. I hoped you weren't. I meanoh, it's none of my business, but -but I'm daffy about you, Miss Julie!" Ignoring that, her green eyes baleful as a jungle tigress, she started a diatribe on Henry. "He told me over and over that he loved me! Why, this bracelet I'm wear ing, he gave me. It could just as easily have been a ring! We were bound together' She told Willie considerably more than that before their tete-a-tete was ended. Her pride terrifically wounded (what on earth would people say to this denouncement on the very day of the columnist's an nouncement?) Julie drank heav ily. Henry was a scoundrel. He'd led her on made a fool of her hadn't even had the decency to tell her of the other woman had sneaked Off like a thief in the night! It was one of the shabbiest tricks a man could play on a trusting girl. She'd never get over it! Julie's perturbance was so great over Henry's sudden secret mar riage that Willie's sympathy mounted. He ordered a stiff brandy for her and himself and another and another. "What on earth will people say? It'sTVfle of him. ;I loathe him!" de clared Julie, her eyes narrowed to pin-points.; "And to top the whole outrage, Mr. Krass, this shock has to come to me on my birthday." "Today your birthday?" She nodded resentfully. "We al ways spent it together. Last year he gave me this diamond bracelet." "Then won't you let me?" be gan Willie eagerly. The brandy had mounted in his head. He felt a great wave of generosity. After all, what was money for when a beautiful girl was around, but to make her happy? "Miss Julie, let's have another little drink, and then what say we go around to the jeweler's ? " The resentment and the gloom on her face lifted a little. She touched Willie's hand for a second. She said: "You're not a bad soul." BRICK A brick home is a rtprmnnp-nf vnvoamPtit that. rA- ;JMe capital and maintains its original value, 'AH BRICK BUILDS BETTER HOMES rysdalejCorp. Etowah, N. C. one S venes to All Parts Of Western Carolina "I'm a rough fellow from the West, without much of what they call culture, but I'm darned if I'd play a dirty trick like this on a girl!" Willie waxed eloquent. Come to think of it. Henry need not have kept him in ignorance of the wed ding! He was a dark horse. He would keep a sharper eye on Van Tyle in. business. Both pepped up by the brandy, Julie led the willing Willie round to the Fifth Avenue jeweler's. If the man was a fool about her, let him pay for it heavily! A valuable marquise diamond ring on the third finger of her right hand, and a pin of gleaming emeralds in the lace collar of her dress, Julie and Willie taxied from the jeweler's to her apartment. Over her telephone he ordered a case of Champagne to be sent in, and 'phoned a florist for orchids. Now get into your best gown, and we'll go out and dance. We'll show 'em." Thought Julie bitterly; "With him? After Henry! And have everyone in town laughing at us." She said aloud: "It's sweet of you, dear, to be so wonderful to me. Suppose you hire a car and we drive to some quiet inn up West chester way, so we don't run into anybody ? You understand the way I feel the shock of it all " He did. The rough diamond had a kind heart. He let Julie talk of her disap pointment all the way out, assur ing her that no one would ever hear the story from his lips. The exag gerated jumble of accusations against Henry the figurative ink she slung over him had its effect. "I I gave myself to him ut terly," wept Julie, who had tried to drown her disappointment for the past several hours in champagne, '; .;..' Willie got out with her at her apartment, dismissing the chauf feur. "You give me Henry's chance, and see if I'm not good to you?" he pleaded as they sat together on a sofa. - She had hinted already at the mess her financial affairs were in. Now she spoke more openly, "Let me take care of your af fairs. I'll buy you all the pretty gowns and geegaws that you want. Don't give that cad another thought. Let me be the one. Please, Julie!" In the little hall at that moment there was a rustling sound.

At her request, Willie went out and brought it in. She turned to the columnist's article. ... "Even snooty Park Avenue las sies have to learn that there's many a slip between the .beau and the altar," read Julie, petrified, her face scarlet. "When the pulchritu dinous Julie Trevor informed us yesterday she would shortly wed Henry Van Tyle, may we say she was greatly exaggerating?" Directly opposite, on the society page, was a large picture of Henry and his bride on board ship ... he smiling possessively and proudly down on her, and she returning his look, a vision of youth and beauty. Julie crumpled the offending pa per into a ball, and flung it into the embers of the fire. "You've got me, Julie, my girl," murmured Willie Krass, putting his arm about her. "Let me love you! I'll be good to j you!" www It was the afternoon of the fourth day out on the ship. A brilliant and beautiful day, the sun shining on the sparkling waters of the At lantic, Blissfully happy was Virginia Van Tyle, the bride, and so was Henry, "Darling, do you mind if I leave you for a bit? I've papers to go through and a couple of marconi fcrams to send to New York," said Henry. "It's all right, darling."

They invited her to join them in a gauie of poker. Virginia consented. A couple of hours later, Henry walked in on them, showing his sur prise and annoyance. As he took Virginia to the saloon for a cup of Honors Given To J. M. McKnight Rev, J. M. McKnight, of Norfolk, and well known here, as he sup plied at the Presbyterian churches of the community, was vrecently honored by being included in the Biographical Encyclopedia of the World for 1941, an authentic re cord of notable living men and women compiled by the Institute for Research in Biography.

Last year, he was included in "The Biographical Encyclopedia of America," an authoritative compen dium of notable men and women in the United States, Canada and afternoon tea, he said abruptly; "How come, Virginia? I must con fess I'm a little astonished to find you gambling with a couple of card sharps!" Her beautiful eyes widened. "Card-sharps ? But they couldn't be! Why, I was the one who won! Look eighty-five dollars, darling !" "Don't you realize that card sharps always permit people to win first, and then trim them later?" asked Henry -.grimly. It was the first little tiff they had. Virginia thought him rather unreasonable. (To be Continued) Supper Finishes I Rooster's Noise I PASADENA, Cal.
