OF necessity the two lived In the
closest intimacy, than which nothing is
ordinarily more fatal to domestic hap
piness. But Bob was unique; he did
not tire; he began to rely upon Lorelei
as sick man leans upon his nurse,
and to worship her as a man worshios
bis sweetheart. There was more than
passion in his endearments now.
But it was discouraging to the girl.
who gained no strength from her pen
ance and derived no satisfaction what
ever in service for services sake. The
whole arrangement tried her patience
desperately; she was weary in mind
and body. and looked back with regret
upon her former easy life. There was
no time now for recreation-Bob had
to be amused. Salary day assumed
new Importance. and she began to
count the cost of every purchase.
So spring went and midsummer
came. 1t was terribly hot in the city
the nights were brea thless, the days
were glaring, and this heat was espe-
cially trying to one in Bob's condition
In his periods of gayety he showered
his wife with attentions and squan-
dered every dollar he could borrow in
presents for her: in his hours of depres-
sion he was everything strange, morose
and irritable
Without her knowledge he applied to
his old firm for salaried position and
was refused. He appealed to Merkle
with the same result. but succeeded in
borrowing thousand dollars, with
which he bought Lorelei set of black
opals. going into debt for half the
price.

home he ushered her into the apart

amazed to find their table set with
strange linen, silver and china and the
dining room decorated as If for a
party.

she exclaimed.
"a little surprise. A supper for just
you and me. my dear"
1t was one of his whims. During
the meal he made elaborate speeches
in the names of his friends. His
imaginary guests congratulated him;
in empty glasses they toasted the bride,
they extolled her beauty, they praised
his own gallantry, and Wanted his

Lorelei went swiftly to him. "The

doing nobly."

she saw that same strained uneasiness
in his bright eyes. "I'm not thirsty

Lorelei nodded alphabetically.
That's why it's so hard to reform

is always fresh. You must keep busy"
"I'm going to work.
'No, no! Not yet" she cried, quick

For the first time in her life Lorelei
really worked, and worked not for her.
self, but for another Although the
experience was interesting in its nov
city, the result remained unsa tisfac-
tory. for not only did love fail to re-
spond to these sacrifices, but she could
see no improvement in Bob's condition.
The thing she fought was impalpable,
yet enormous; IL was weak, yet strong:
it seemed to sleep. yet it was ever
awake.

CHAPTER XXI.

1t still lacked something o: luncheon
time when Bob Wharton swung into
Fifth avenue. He was In fine fettle
with the certainty of an agreeable hour
with his tailor. 1t was always pleas
ure to deal with Kurtz, for in his shop
customers were treated with the most
delicate consideration. Statesmen. cut
tiers. filters. all were pleasant acquaint-
ances. Kurtz himself was an artist:
he was also person of generally cul-
hvated taste and a man about town.
His books were open only to those he
considered his equals. A stony faced
doorman kept watch and ward in the
Gothic hallway to discourage the gem
eral public from entering the premi-
ses. The fact that Bob owed several
hundred dollars dismayed that young
man not in the least, for Kurtz never
mentioned money matters.

for work he was ab,aze with resent

He took up the search with logged

bat he snapped at it, and returned
home that evening in the best of humor.
Already the serious issues of the
morning were but memory; he burst
in upon Lorelei like gale, shouting:
"I'm chalk-boy at Crosset e Meyers.
SO you can give Bergman your notice
tonight"

Loreleis objections were not easily
overcome, but at last, in view of the
fact that the summer run of the Revue
was drawing to close and the show
would soon take to the road. she al
lowed herself to be persuaded.
Throughout the next week Bob
Wharton really tried to make good. He
was enthusiastic; the excitement of
actual accomplishment was so novel
that he had not time to think of liquor.
When Saturday came and he found
himself in possession of honestly
earned funds he felt soul-satisfying
ease. He decided to invest his first
savings in a present for Lorelel, then
graver sense of responsibility seized
him, and he sent them to Mrs. Knight.

FRAME CARRANzA
REPLY TOMORROW
Uncertain Whether Often
sive Language of Note
Bring Rebuke.

Washington, June 3.-President
Wilson probably will take up with
Secretary Lansing Monday the ques-
ton OF framing reply to General
Carranza's new demand that the
American troops be withdrawn from
Mexico. Officials have not obtained
any indication yet as to the form the
answer will take further than that it
will not yield that General Pershing's
men retire across the boundary line.
Because of what are deemed often
sive statements in the note, some Off
Gals believe the reply will carry
rebuke for the seeming discourtesy.
Others think, however, that because
the communication was prefaced with
statement, explaining that no often
sive was intended, and that the feel
ings of the United States would not
be wounded, that the reply will ignore
the discourteous passages.
Secretary Baker conferred with the
president today on Mexican questions,
but the aspects discussed were not
disclosed. 1t is known that the result
OF the local conference yesterday be-
tween General Pershing and General
Gavira were not mentioned.
While details of the Pershing-
Gavira conference have not been made
known, it is known that no suggestions
for an agreement as to local troop
disposition were made, the conversa-
ton consisting mainly of statements
by the Mexican field commander of
what steps he was taking to round up
the bandits.
Army officials who studied the
Mexican troop disposition, as reported
by General Funston, said they appear
ed to be in accord with the plans to
police the country, and did not indi-
cate preparation Of an unfriendly
demonstration toward General Perish
ing's forces.
News of the renewed activity by
Zapata followers in South Mexico,
officially reported to the state depart
ment, may change the military dis
position of the Mexican troops in
chihuahua. If the situation is as seri-
Gus as indicated, General Obregon
may be compelled to call some of his
forces in the north. 1t has been
stated, but without specific authority,
that $4,000 men were being concen-
trated in the north. The official re-
port placed the number at 10000.
