STORY FROM THE START 0 Laurie Devon, a gay young Riap somewhat Inclined to wild ness, has recently succeeded as a playwright. His wealthy sla ter Barbara, who has Belped him to succeed, has Just been mar ried and is going to Japan, leav ing Laurie on hla own. Epstein and Bangs, his theatrical part ners, have promised Barbara to keep an eya on Laurie. They scold him for his laziness of late, and he retorts that he seeks ad- stnture. From his window In New York he sees the reflection of a beautiful girl In a mirror In the house opposite. From the elevator boy in the girl'a house Laiirle learna the girl's name Is Mayo. Again In the mirror’s re flection he sees her with a re volver and fears she means to commit suicide. He rushes Into her apartment, and, winning her oonfldence, induces her to lunch with him, though she warns him of danger. At lunch she admits there le a mystery in tier life. Ghe says also that her funde are almost exhausted, but refuse! flatly Laurie’s offer of financial help. As a stranger enters the restaurant, the girl mutters “He has found me.” Upon learning that the man has no claim on her, Laurie warns the stranger not to molest the girl, whose name, Laurie learns, is Doris. To Louise Ordway, his Invalid sister-in-law, Laurie ad mits his Interest In Doris. CHAPTER VI—Continued —9— "Bob (Ikln’t know,” she said. “If he had felt the least suspicion he wouldn’t have gone so far, or for so long. I thought I had three or four months—” Laurie bent and kissed her cheek. “I’m coming In every day,” he said, and abruptly left the room. In the lower hall he stopped to take In the full real realization of what he had discovered. Louise, superb, ar rogant, beautiful Louise, was really Ill, desperately 111. A feeling of re morse mingled with his sense of shock. He had believed her a sort of nervous hypochondriac. He had BO resented her excessive demands on Barbara that It was only since he had seen much of her in this last month that he had been able whole heartedly to like and admire her. As he stood silent, he become con scious of another presence—an au- Fnst, impressive one, familiar In the past but veiled now, as It were. In a midst of human emotion. It was Jep- son, the butler. He cdughed humbly. “Hexcuse me, sir,” he faltered. "But Mrs. Hdrdway h’aln't quite so well lately, sir, ’Ave yon hobserved thatr Laurie nodded. "I noticed It today,” he admitted. "She’s losln’ strength very fast, sir. Hall of us ’as seen It Cook says she don’t eat nothing. And Susanne and the nurse sajs It’s ’ard work to get ’er from the bed to ’er chair—” Laurie checked these revelations. “Has the doctor been here today?” “Tesslr, two of ’em ’ave been 'ere. tloctor Speyer comes hevery day. This morning ’e brought Doctor Hames again. Hit’s very hupsetting. Sir, with ’er brother away and hall." The man was genuinely anxious. Laurie tried to reassure him. “She may be better In a day or two,” he said, more buoyantly than he felt. “But I’ll come In every day. /Ln() here’s my telephone number. If anything, goes wrong, call me up Im mediately. Leave a message If Fm ■ot there.” "Yesslr. Thank you, sir.” Jepson was pathetically grateful and relieved. He had the English servant’s charac teristic need of sanction and author ity. When Laurie reached his rooms, he called Sonya on the telephone. Like Jepson. he was feeling rather over- whelmfd by his responsibilities. It was a relief to hear Sonya’s deep, colorful voice. “Didn’t know you were here till Just now,” he told her. “I’m coming to •ee you In the morning. I want to talk to you about a lot of things." “Including Mrs. Ordway?” suggest ed Sonya. “Yes. Ton saw her today. You no ticed—” “Of course. Samuel Is to be op erated on tomorrow. I’ll send him back to Devon House with his mother In a few days, as soon as he can safe ly travel, and 1 shall stay right here.” "That’s splendid of you!” “It’s what Barbara and Mr. Warren would wish. And Mrs. Ordway, too, I think, though she would never sug gest It." "I’m sure It Is." Laurie hung up the receiver with' a nervous hand. To a youth of twen ty-four It is a somewhat overpower ing experience to discover that destiny Is especially busy over the affairs of two women for whom he has assumed a definite responsibility. As he turned from the Instrument Its bell again compelled his attention. He took np the receiver, and the voice of a girl came to his ear. A week or two ago he bad rather liked that voice and its owner,, a gay. Irresponsible, food-besrted little creature who pranced in the front row of an up town pony ballet Now he listened to it with keen distaste. "Hello, Laurie," It twittered. ^ "Is tiiat you? This is Billie, Listen. I gotta plan. A bunch of us Is goln' oat to (ledney to supper tonight. Wa’re goln' to leave right after the Abow. Are you onf’ Laurie got rid of tbe fair Billie, He Md'U eoorteonaly bat very flrmly. A . By ELIZABETH JORDAN te by TBs Cestnpr Company.) , WNUS«rv)«a rather unusual degree of firmness was necessary, for Miss BUlle waa not used to having her invitations refused. She accepted the phenomenon with acute unwillingness and very linger ingly. Bangs was not at home, to divert his chum’s mind with hie robnst con versation. As he dressed for his call on Doris, the sharp contrasts of life struck Lanrie with the peculiar force with which they hit tbe young and the inexperiented. But were they really contrasts? On the one side were Louise, dying, and Doris, seemingly eager to die. On the other were Billie and her friends— foolish little butterflies, enjoying their brief hour In tbe secret garden of life. At Eight o’clock Laurie Found Doris Sitting Under the Shade of a Read ing Lamp In Her Studio. eternally chattering about “good times,” playing they were happy, per haps even thinking they were happy, but Infinitely more tragic figures than Louise and Doris. Yet a week ago he had thought they amused him! Pondering on these and other large problems, he absently- removed the bloom from three fresh white ties. CHAPTEli VII Griggs Gets an Orden At eight o’clock Laurie found Doris sitting under the shade of a reading- lamp In her studio, deep In the pages of a sophisticated French novel and radiating an almost oppressive atmos phere of well-being. Subconsciously, he resented this. His mood was keyed to tragedy. But he returned her hfllf-serlous, half- mocking smile with one as enigmatic,, shook hands with grave formality, and surveyed with mild Interest a modest heap of bank-notes of small denominations that lay on tbe table, catching the room’s high lights. Fol lowing his glance, Doris nodded com placently. “I left them there for you to see,” she remarked. * “Did the kind gentleman under the three balls give you all that?” “He did. Count It.” Laurie frowned.. “Don’t be so arrogant about your wealth. It’s fleeting. Any copy-book will tell you so.” She opened a small drawer In the table, swept the bills Into It, and casually closed It. Laurie stared. “Are you going to leave It there? Just like that?” She looked patient “Why not?” “I begin to understand why you are sometimes financially cramped.” He took the bills, smoothed them out flat, rolled back the rug to the edge of the table, laid the money un der It, and carefully replaced the rug. “That’s the place to put It," he ob served, withsatisfaction. "No one connected wl& a studio ever lifts a mg. Bangs nnd I used to throw our money under the furniture, and pick it up as we needed it; but others sometimes reached It first This way Is better. How lovely you look!” he added. As he spoke he comfortably seated himself on the other side of the reading-lamp, and moved the lamp fo a point where It would not ob- stract his view of her. She did look lovely. She had put on an evening gown, very simply made, but rich In the Oriental color ing she loved. She was like Louise .in that. Laurie’s thoughts swung to the latter’s sick-room, and his brilliant young face grew somber. The glH Jonnging In the big chair observed the sudden change In his expression. She pushed a box of cigarettes toward him. “Smoke If you like," she said, in differently. “All my friends do.” He caught the phrase. Then she had friends! i “Including Herbert Ransoime Shaw.?” he asked, as he lit a match. “Don’t Include him , among my friends! But—he was here this aft ernoon.” “He was!” In his rising interest Laurie nearly let the match go out. “What did he want?” “To warn me to have nothing to do with you.” “I like his Infernal cheek!” Laurie lit the cigarette and puffed at It savagely. Then, rising, he drew his chair forward and sat down fac ing her. “See here,” he said quietly, “you’d better tell me the whole story. I can’t help you mneh If I’m kept In the dark. But If you’ll let me Into tilings —And before I forget It,” he Inter- rapted himself to Interject, "I want to bring a friend of mine to call on you. She will be a tower of strength. She’s a Russian, and one of the best women I know." She listened with a slight smile. "What’s her name?” “Miss Orleneff, Sonya Orlenelt, a great pal of my sister’s and an all round good sort. I’d like to bring her In tomorrow afternoon. Will five be convenient?” “No.” She spoke now with the curt ness of the morning. “In no circum stances,” she added, decisively. “But—^why?”v He was dazed. If ever a knight errant worked under greater difficul ties than these, Laurie told himself, he’d like to know the poor chap’s name. "I have no wish to meet Miss Or leneff.” “But she’s an Ideal person for yon to know, experienced, sympathetic, and understanding. She did a lot for my sister last year. I must tell you all about that sometime. She could do more for you—” “Mr. Devon!" The finality of her tone brought him up short. “We mnst understand each other.” “I should.like nothing better.” He, too, was suddenly formal. “This morning you projected your self into my life.” “Literally," he cordially agreed. “I am grateful to you for what you did and what you wish to do. But I will not meet any more strangers. I will not meet Miss Orleneff. or any one else. Is that clear?” “Oh, perfectly !*’ Laniie sighed. "Of course you’re a crowned head,” he mused aloud. “I hod forgotten. Would you like my head on a charger, or anything like that?" She studied him thoughtfully. "Almost from the first,” she said, “and except for an occasional minute or two, you have refused to be seri ous. That Interests me. Why Is It? Aren’t you willing to realize that there are real troubles In the world, terrible troubles, that the bravest go down under?” “Of course.” He was serious now. He had begun to realize that fully. “It’s my unfortunate manner, I sup pose,” he defended himself. . “I’ve never taken anything seriously for Marriage Rites That Are Old as Humanity The gin who today treads tbe aisle to the tune of the wedding march Is still the victim of certain marriage rites so old that the Idea originallj underlying them has been forgotten. Her wedding veil, for Instance, Is a relic of the canepy that used to be held over the bride to seclude her from profane gaze. T^ ancient Romans attached great Importance to the custom of veiling the bride. Its primary object waa to protect her against the evil eye, a superstition cur rent among many tribes and nations. With some people the veiling was re quired because the bride’s own glance was considered to be dangerous. Mis fortune would surely befall any per son or animal the bride looked at be fore she bad seen her husband on her arrival at his bouse. From the early Romans Is handed down the custom, not infrequently ob served by an American bride of to day, of being married In a previously worn marriage veil. Great luck la sup posed to attend the practice, especially if the former wearer bad been happy In the married state.- In Liberty Magazine.

It’s hard to form tbe hab- IL all of a sndden." \ “Ton will have to take me seri ously.’’ He made a large gesture of accept ance. “All right,” he promised. "That brings us back to where we were. Tell me the truth. If tbere’s any thing in it that really menaces yoa, you’ll find me serious enough.” Before answering, she rose and opened the studio door, on which, be observed with approval, a strong new lock and an inside bolt had already beien placed. He saw her peer up and down the hall. Then she 4’lo8ed and bolted tbe door, and returned to her chair. The precaution brought before him a mental vision of Herbert Ran- some Shaw prowling about the dim corridor. Be spoke Incredulously. “Are you really afraid of that chap?” *T Have good reason to be,” she said quietly. She sat down In her, chair again, rested her elbows on the table and her clrpi In her hands, in the pose already so familiar to him, and added quietly, “He is the source of all my present trouble.” She stopped and turned her head to listen. "Do you hear anything moving In the hall?” she asked, almost in a whis per. “No. Shall I look?” She shook her head. “Don’t unbolt the door.” “You’re nervous. I’m sure there’s nothing there. Please go on,” he urged. “Our little friend Bertie—” Seeing her expression, he stopped short. “Forgive me,” he said, hum bly. “But the plain truth Is, it’s aw fully hard for me to take that fellow seriously. Oh, I know he’s venomous," he conceded, “but I can’t help feeling that he hasn’t as much power over you as you think he has.” He realized that she was listening, but not to him. "There Is some one outside that door I” she whispered. Laurie leaped to the door as noise lessly as a cat, nnbolted It, and flung It open. The hall was empty. He had an Instantaneous impression that something as silent as a moving shad ow had vanished around the staircase at the far end, but when he reached the spot he saw nothing save the de scending Iron spirals of successive stairways. He returned to his com panion, smiling reassuringly. “It’s our nerves,” he said. "In • few minutes more I shall be worry ing about Bertie, myself.” “Bolt the door again,” she directed. He obeyed. She went, on as If there had been no interruption to their talk. “It Isn’t what he Is,” she admitted. “He himself is nothing, as you say. It’s what Is back of him that—that frightens mel Why don’t you smoke?” she Interrupted herself to ask. Laurie automatically selected and lit another cigarette. “I know what’s going to be back of Bertie pretty soon,*' he darkly pre dicted. “Whoever he Is, and whatever he is doing, he has a big Jolt coming to him, and It’s coming fast.” He laid down the cigarette and turned to her with his most charming expression, a wonderfully sweet smile, half shy, wholly boyish. Before thla look, any one who loved Laurence Devon was helpless. “Come,” he said gently, “tell me the whole story. Yon know It’s not curiosity that makes me ask. But how can I help you when I’m working In the dark?” As she hesitated, his brilliant eyes, so softened now, contlnned to hold hers. “And I want to help you,” he added. ‘T want that privilege, more than I want anything else in the world.” For a long moment she sat still, as If considering his words, her eyes on her, hands, folded In her lap. The strange, deep flush he had noticed once before again stained her face. At last she straightened up with a quick movement, throwing back her shoulders as If to take on again some burden they had almost cast off. “I am sorry to seem so mysteri ous,” she said, “and so unresponsive. I wllT tell you this much, and It Is more than I ought to say. In the situation we are In l am In his power, horribly so. He can crush me at any time he chooses." “Then why doesn’t he?” The gentleness of her caller’s voice softened the brusqueness of his words. “Because—” She stopped again. For the first time she had become embarrassed and self-conscious. She made her climax In a rush: "Lately he Insists that he has fallen In love with me I” Lanrie uttered an ejaculation.. It was not a pretty one, but It nicely fitted the emergency. “He has hoped that to save myself, and others, I will marry him, the con temptible, crawling snake!” The listener was Impressed by her comparison. Certainly there was something ophidian about Shaw. Hs hlmralf had noticed It “Then, for the time being, you’ro really safe?” he suggested. “No. His patience is exhausted.
