| " wife and Jane. They
| were whisked westward
IN his private car OH the second day aft
er the Bansemer exposure. Broken spir
tied. Jane acquiesced>in all their plans
She seemed as one In stupor, com
pretending yet unresponsive to the
pain that enveloped her
Il can't see any one that know
here" she said listlessIy. "Oh. the
thought Of what they are sayingw
They did not tell her that Graydon
had enlisted as private soldier in the
United States army. Jane only knew
that she loved him and that the bar
sinister existed.
Cables devotion to her was beauti-
full. He could not have been more ten.
der had she been his own daughter
instead Of his wife's imposition.
Jane WAS III In Pasadena for many
weeks. Her depressed condition made
her recovery doubtful. It was plain to
two persons. at least, that she did not
care whether she lived or died. The
physicians were puzzled. but no expla-
nation WIS offered by the Cables. 1t
was not until certain Chicago sojourn-
ers generously spread the news TIM
| the cause nj her breakdown became
apparent to the good doctors. Before
many days the girl who sat wan and
distrait upon the nower shaded piazza
was an object of curiosity to fashion
able Pasadena. Al soon AZ she was
strong enough to endure the trip the
hunted trio f0rsOok Pasadena and ned
northward.
| San Francisco afforded relief In pri-
vacy. James spirits began to revive.
There had not been nor was there
ever to be any mention Of that terri
bic night and its revelations. What
she may have felt and suffered in Sc
cret could only be conjectured by those
who loved her. Bansemer's name was
never uttered. His fate remained IN
known to her. The faraway. unhappy
look In her eyes proved to them that
Graydon was never out OF her
thoughts.
| David Gable was In Chicago when
Mrs. Gable received word from her
sister. once Kate Coleman, that she
soon would reach San Francisco with
her husband. bound for the Philip
pines. Kate was the wife OF a West
Pointer who had achieved the rank of
] colonel In the volunteers by virtue of
political necessity. His regiment had
! been ordered to the islands. and she
was accompanying him with their
daughter. q girl Of sixteen.
Colonel Hardin had seen pleasant
service at the eastern posts. where his
! wife had attained a certain kind of
social distinction in the army fast set
She was not especially enamored Of
the prospect ahead Of her in the Phil
| tppines. But the new colonel was a
strict disciplinarian on and of the
field. He expected to be a brigadier
general II fortune and favoritism sup
ported him long enough. Mrs. Hardin
could never be anything more than a
private In the ranks SO far as his es-
timation OF distinction was concerned.
His daughter, Ethel. had. by means Of
no uncertain favoritism. advanced a
few points ahead Of her mother and
might have ranked as sergeant In the
family corps.
Mrs. Hardin played cards. drank
highballs. fiirted with the younger OFF,
! GERS. got talked about with pleasing
| emphasis and was as happy as any
subordinate could be. They had not
even thought of such thing as d.
vorce, and the whole army wondered
and expressed disgust The army's
appetite for scandal 10 surpassed only
by its bravery In war. 1t 10 even
limited that the latter b welcomed a. q
loophole for the formse. War brings
peace.
