had gone into Kitty's room for a
goodnight talkfest and Kitty was
telling me of her talk with Bill Ten
ney before Dick and l came down to
dinner.
you see, Margie, 1 waited until l
thought would be late. but you and
Dick were late and when got into
the drawing-room there he was, with
the most woe-begone expression on
his face possible.
'The very first words he said to me
were: You knew that loved you and
was only waiting for my wife to get
a divorce to marry you. l did not
know that women were SO fickle,' he
murmured as he took both my hands
and gently pulled me over to the sofa.
81 drew away and said: Don't,
Will! would rather stand. 1 am sor-
ry you and l had to meet just now,
for, as things have turned out, it
might look as though had been rath-
er nasty to you, But let's look at the
matter calmly. When / left this town
hardly one of my old friends, except
Margie, would speak to me, because
l was going out with you-a married
man. l was not sure that your. wife
would ever get a divorce. You had
reputation of growing tired of girl
very quickly. Indeed, l heard that
wagers were made at your club on
the duration of our affair was not
happy to be thus exiled from and
talked about by society. l knew if l
stayed in this town it meant only one
thing the absolute ruination of my
reputation
'Margie Waverly told you that

somewhat vindictively.

before me in very plain manner,
but she told me that she would not
advise me what to do. That if / went

must come back to you
"I didn't think Margie Waverly
was as liberal as that said Will, in
surprise.
'Margie looks at life in a very
common-sense manner l told him.
When did you begin to care for
that preacher?' he asked.
4 don't think you have a right
to ask that l answered, but I'll tell
you this, Will, had none of the mad
passion for him that l had for you. 1
knew he was the best man had ever
known perhaps the best 1 would
ever know-and was tired, so tired,
of fighting temptation off.
Every man had known, until 1
met Herbert, had considered me his
rightful prey. True, he would protect
me from every other man, but with
him the case was always different.
viii, Herbert Spencer not only
protected me from himself, but from
myself. He showed me that there was
another life to live than that of selfish
qualification of the emotions. He
gave me wonderful love tinged with
a respect had never had from a man
before and took it gladly, gratefully,
and every day thanked God it came
to me- .......-
"'But you loved me once he said,
and before we could say much more
81 heard the last of it, Kitty" 1 told
her, "but that and what you have told
me does not yet make quite clear in
my mind if you still love Bill"
81 don't think do said Kitty sob
erly. 81 am sure don't want to. I
want to love my husband best of all

Keep on wanting to- for you can
do anything you want to in this world
if you want to bad enough"

chiefly of the moving picture houses,
all the places of entertainment have
been firmly closed. Once again,
