Great Story To-day
by Reading This
First

TIME opening scene is laid in the
palatial home of Charles Nelson,
whom the world calls a successful
man. In reality Nelson's money has
caused his wife to become a society
leader, so that he gradually finds his
home becoming more and more cherries
and less like a home. He enters his
mouse to find his only son drunk and at
tempting to kiss Mary Burke, Mrs.
Nelson's secretary. He upbraids the
boy, who turns on his father and ac-
ouses him Of maintaining another es-
adjustment uptown. Mrs. Nelson en-
tiers the room just in time to hear the
accusation. Nelson confesses to her
that the charge is true Nelson leaves
his home and moves to the Alpine
Apartment Hotel. His daughter deter
mines to follow him. He telephones to
the Winthrops, some close friends, for
help. Alice arrives at the hotel. She
begs her father to take her with him,
but he refuses and sends her to the
Winthrops. Alice tells Tom Harding,
her fiance, that their engagement is off
temporarily. Mrs Harding arranges to
bring Mrs Nelson to the Alpine Apart
ments Nelson hears of this arrange
ment from Mrs. Harding, but declares
his wife will probably refuse to see him.

covering her poise.

Sarah Harding's eyes were twink

ing up the hall and she spoke with
her accustomed crisp dryness.
Some friends of mine are about to
break up housekeeping ] shall rec

She dismissed her companion with
a nod Miss Ryan's society tete-a-
tete was ended. She became again
the telephone operator of the Alpine
Apartments.
Am I late, Sarah?" cried Emily
Nelson. quite as if being on time for
appointments were as important a
matter as any she had to consider.
Naturally
Il have a hundred things to do,
Can't we look a the apartment now ?"
Come here"
Emily Nelson looked at her com
mander curiously-then obediently
followed her into the reception room.

Charies!"
"Here!" cried Mrs. Nelson, looking
around the room in fear
Yes He lives here now"
A moments pause, then Charles
Nelson's wife turned firmly and
crossed toward the door. Mrs. Hard 70

You must see him, Emily"
No"
He 10 sorry and ashamed
He should be-"
You love him." questioned Sa-
rah Harding, without mercy.
IF I didn't ! wouldn't care"
A note Of self forgetting love
struggled into Emily Nelson's care
fully modulated voice. Before any
feeling could trace q mark on her
equally carefully powdered face-or
disturb the serenity of her we'll

the injured wife-the unforgiving

matched it. She went on:

Your fault-all Of it," exclaimed
Sarah Harding with grim uncom-
promising truth.
What did you expect a man like
him to be doing while you were fiirt-

What did he get for his money? A

For heavens sake hide your head

her friend in evaporation. But 1t
won't stop worse tongues than mine
from talking about you, and Alice's
father-and this chorus girl. Fine
subject for debate in the club and in
the kitchen. Fine inspiration for
scurrilous pens!"
What can they say of ne?" said
Emily Nelson, hiding behind her own
selfish lack of action.
Kitty Claire.
They will laugh at you They will
laugh at you, Emily Nelson, because
all the world knows no woman ever

her If she could help herself. Do you
want to give your husband once and
forever to this little chorus girl up
in Ninety-ffth street? VIII you be
beaten by this Kitty Claire?"
A dainty young girL-gay, happy,
smiling -audaciously pretty in her
quaint new suit, audaciously proud
of her new gold card case and van
ity bag, had come done the hail. She
hesitated in the doorway, smiling,
presenting no appearance of evil
suggesting only youth, miTth and JOY
of living.

doorway. You called me. / am

Emily Nelson stood-a figure of
impassive grayness.
"Waitl"

turning.

For a moment Kitty looked rather
startled. Then she smiled quite
charmingly.
"well?' said Kitty Claire to Emily

Is this the gir?" asked Emily
Nelson. There was hush-a still

Yes. Tom told me her name

existed between Philip and his chief
agent and he thought that in adopting

he was striking the right key

Arson Home was smart. he imagined,
while the main body of the letter dealt
in safe EeneralitieS
Naturally, he knew nothing of the con
versation between the two men on this
very topic a couple OF months earlier,
But Langdon'S ample confessions had
clearly revealed Philips attitude, and
the INSCRIPTIONS sCOundrel was willing
now to dare all in his attempt to gain
a fortune
While he was dining. a telegram was
handed to him

Did ever women invent more tantalz-

What was blue atom? No doubt,

as well as black ones and red ones.
But why this reference to any particu-
lar atom? He tried the words In every
possible variety of meaning. He gave
them the dignity of capitals. BLUE
ATOM. They became more inexpli-
cable.
In one respect they were effective.
They spoiled his dinner. He had steeled
himself against every possible form of
surprise, but he was forced TO admit
that during the next three DAYS he must
succeed in persuading Evelyn Atherley
that Philip Arson was alive and en-
gagged in important matters in York

scheme to be wrecked by blue atom?

course, a mere device 1t would be
fnanifestly absurd to send her a type

could copy Philips signature, he dared
not put his skin as a forger to the test
of inditing a letter to her, no matter
how brief Finally he hit upon a com
promise. He wired
Stupid of me to omit address.

but his appetite was gone
