"we Tomlinsons are after the wrong thing
From daddy down, we're all dead wrong"
@Go away shrugged Theodore Oge.
@Pm writing a letter" She torpidly
dipped a jeweled pen into an ivory ink
well. She was striking brunette with
blue-black hair, blue eyes with black
shadows, dead-white skin, and scornful,
scarlet lips. Her mother, Mrs. |. Tom
linson, had succeeded in marrying Theo-
dora to many millions.
But |. Tomlinson, Junior, straddled an
ivory chair and crossing his arms on the
back of it, demanded: care you happy,
Theda? Is daddy? Is the mater? Am 1?
No! We're all off the track. Money,
money, money!
Theodore addressed her letter and used
violet seal. "Touch that button, Tom
N.Y." she said.
l. Tomlinson jabbed at the electric call
bell
Moneys useful" said Theodore in
differently
She gave the violet-sealed letter to
maid. "You can't get along without
money-oodles of it," she said tonelessly.
l. Tomlinson went home and read his
musical comedy.
10Y MEIGS pronounced l. Tomlinson's
musical comedy rambling The comedy
was shelved To celebrate it's uncom-
promising failure, |. Tomlnson invited
himself to dine with the Meigses, bringing
with him the first course-a two-quart
cardboard bucket of oysters. 1t was char
acteristic of l. Tomlnson to bring too
much.
AS naturally as healthy duck takes to
water, l. Tomlinson plunged into the
habit of dining frequently in the back-to-
nature one-room home on East Thirty
fourth Street. Mr.. Meigs seemed to find
physical warmth in the sunny society of
l. Tomlinson; and Jealous Joy encour-
aged the blooming young man to try
again at musical comedy, and go deeper.
"Theda," said |. Tomlinson to Mrs.
Archibald Ogle, one afternoon in the Ogle
limousine, Owe told your chauffeur to
turn off the Avenue at Thirty-fourth.
@Why?" inquired Theodore laconicaly.
IL want you to make a call with me,
SIS"
4Too tired, Tommy. Another day."
"To-day's the day! Honey, be sport!"
He seized Theodora's hands. "Im going
to introduce you to the girl l Lowell" he
said excitedly.
Theodore frowned. "You're not MAX
ing fool of yourself, Tommy" curtly.
@All kinds of fool! I'm-she's-" He
swung Theodoras hands. His face was
beatifc.
The Ogle limousine stopped before
faded, brown stone front with furnished
room sign.
"Here we are!" said I. Tomlinson,
squeezing his sisters hands. "Theda,"-
his voice was suddenly SWEETEST your
hat straight want you to make good
impression"
Theodore Ogle wore heliotrope chiffon
cloth, huge silver fox furs, and close
fitting turban of shaded velvet violets.
An enigmatical expression on her face, she
followed her brother up the steps of the
faded brownstone front.
l. Tomlinson, Junior, knocked on the
door of the Meigs home.
Mr.. Meigs opened the door. Outlined
against the light, his thin figure was like

shea perfectly charming old gentle

"My cousin" smiled Mr.. Meigs. "Are
you fond of country life, Mrs. Ogle?"
Joy Meigs came to her fathers side in
her white blouse and corduroy skirt. She
regarded |. Tomlinsons sister with
dumb look.
Theodora's smile slowly shifted from
Mr.. Meigs to the girl her brother loved.
She seemed to measure JOY, as Joy seemed
to measure her.
ISIS and have been to matinee Of the
new war play, 'Torpedoed,'" said I. Tom
linson, gazing happily at JOY
"Was it good?" asked JOY, in low
voice.

seen The Half-Emptied. Cup at the
Gaiety, Miss Meigs? That's standable."

l. Tomlinson gave Joy radiant look.

"look at these window gardens-lettuce
and radishes and all that sort of thing all

"How interesting" said Theodore.
She rose with a graceful sweep of hello
trope and silver fox, holding out her hand
to JOY. "Come to see me" she said.
"Thank you" joys voice was smoth-
cred.
Theodore gave her hand to Mr.. Meigs.

"That will be bully!" applauded I.

He was looking at JOY.
Theodore moved to the door. "Coming,

IN the limousine, l. Tomlinson took
good look at Theodore. "Well?" he
ripped out.
Theodore was looking out Of the win

brooded, merged to violet black. marry

voice. "Maybe you'll get the happiness

mouth. "Lord love your he cried. He
caught the knob of the limousine door
the car had turned into the Avenue and
had been halted in fleet of automobiles
by the white-gloved hand of traffic po-
liceman. "I'm going to get out here" he
said excitedly.
He stepped from the machine, waved
an exhilarated hand to Theodore, and
dove through the starting limousines and
touring cars, to the pavement. He landed
up in front of candy shop, and precipi-
tated himself into it.. He sent ten-pound

LIE went home sometime that night, had
"A something that might be called sleep,
and then something that might be called
breakfast. The inopportune hour of nine
o'clock in the morning found him, with an
enormous box of roses under his arm, rap
tapping on the door of the Meigses' room.
Joy opened the door. The ten-pound
box of bonbons lay on the center table;
brown little y-of-the-valley heads, and
an envelop adorned with a zigzag row OF
stamps, topped the sweets.
Handing her the roses, |. Tomlinson
burst into incoherent speech, the discon-
nected purport of which doomed that he
wanted Joy Meigs to marry him.
Joy put the roses on the piano stool and
backed up against the piano.
The fact that her brown eyes had turned
cold overnight swung like a suddenly
started pendulum through the space of
his words. He stopped talking and
flushed.
81 wouldn't marry you if you were the
last man in the world" said Joy Meigs
evenly.
The flush plunged to pallor.
"You are the most tactless, insufferable,
underlined man | have ever met" she
said with deadly calm. Her face went
scarlet. "How dared you bring your sis
ter to laugh at our poverty" she famed.

"How dared you intrude upon u.s." she
continued.

Her voice steadied: "I'm-doing things.
It's fine to fight. I'm going to be sue
cessful. Fine!" The voice suddenly
dropped, begging: "Please don't make
me-silly." The clever hands, tremulous,
went up and covered joys face.
l. Tomlinson drew submerged breath.
His eyes seemed to struggle over the
hidden face. He spoke uncertainty. "If
you'll stand me, in spite of the cravats-
I'm a sort Of decent fellow, JOY" He
ended with humble, despairing slump.
The fatalistic shake of her vivid head
denied him.
He took his hat and stick, and the too
big box Of roses, and the ten-pound box
of bonbons "All right" he whispered.
He went from the room and down the
steep flights of stairs.

gether for wreath of wheat and immor-
telles. After it was all over, and the house
had forgotten, Joy tried hard to cry. Then
she called up the Tomlinson residence on
West Fifty-fourth Street and asked in
faint voice for |. Tomlinson, Junior A
serving-man informed her that "Mr.
Tommy" had gone away on hunting trip.
1t was then that Joy looked at bottle of
denatured alcohol marked "poison."
I TOMLINSON, JUNIOR, had written
crackerjack musical comedy. With
the bulky, blue-backed script under his
arm, he did what he had not done for
weeks-turned down Thirty-fourth Street
toward the house with the furnished room
sign.
1t was eight o'clock in the evening, a
rainy night. AS l. Tomlinson, under a
big umbrella, approached the faded brown
stone front, Joy Meigs came out. She
opened an umbrella walked rapidly down
the steps, and turned west.
|, ,Tomlinson started impetuously for
ward. His glimpse of her face had shocked
him.. AS he plunged to overtake her, he
became confused, mystifed. One minute
he was sure that the umbrella ahead shell
tered JOY, and the next minute it seemed
to him to cover wild, running thing,
For some intangible reason, his forehead
turned clammy. 1t would have been easy
to overtake the umbrella, peer under it,
and make sure. But something held him
back.
Westward, through the driving rain, he
followed, dark block after dark block-to
the river. Here, Joy lowered her UNI
brella and lifted her face to the sky.

with mighty sob in his breast. He ran

He ran with her in his arms along the
pier to the place where the Hudson boats
come in and the taXicabs are lined up. He
lifted her into one. In the taxi he stared
at the fresh Grape on her hat.
With his comedy script stuffed in his
overcoat pocket, he carried her up three
flights. The room was in silence and
darkness. He laid her on the couch and
lighted gas-jet. With the step of one in
familiar surroundings, he went to the al
cove and drew basin of water. On his
knees, he bathed her temples. With a
fluttering breath, she opened her eyes.
