talking about-would make her very
sick"
"She'd get over being sick, though,
wouldn't she," said Rose, "after
awhile? And then don't you think
she'd be glad"
Rodney laughed. 'The sort Of wom-
an I've been talking about" he said,
'would feel, when all is said, that
she'd got gold brick"
Rose poured his coffee with a
steady hand. They were in the library
now.
IF that's So" she said, "then the
kind of woman you've been talking
about has already got a profession.
AS Doctor Randolph says, she's cashed
in on her ankles. But maybe you're
mistaken in thinking she wouldn't
choose something else If she had a
chance. Maybe she wouldn't have
done it, except because her husband
wanted her to and she was in love
with him and tried to please. You
can't always tell"
1t was almost her first contribution
to the talk that evening. She had
asked a few questions and said the
things a hostess has to say. The
other three were manifestly taken by
surprise.
But surprise was not the only ef-
feet she produced. Her husband had
never seen her look just like that be-
fore. The flash in her eyes, the splash
of bright color in her cheeks, the ex-
citing timbre Of her voice, was new
to him and very alluring.
Barry saved him the necessity of
trying to answer, by taking up the
cudgels himself. Rodney didn't feel
like answering, nor, for the moment,
like listening to Barry. His interest
in the discussion was eclipsed, for the
moment, by the thrill and wonder of
his wife's beauty. For the next half
hour she matched wits with Barry
Lake very prettily.
When Jane declared that they must
go, her husband protested.

SCREEN ACTRESS TALKS.

Those who enjoy good, wholesome
motion picture plays will welcome the
action Of Miss Blanche Bates in de-
clining to appear in any production in
which drunkenness is depicted. 'There
are many reasons" she says, "why all
the plays In which I've appeared have
been on the water wagon, and one Of
them is that would not participate
in a drunken orgy any more on the
stage than of. My managers would

INSURANCE MEN DRY.

Speaking editorially Of the waste in
human life due to drink, the Insurance
Magazine says:
Zone of the brightest hopes that this
country had in its entrance into war
was the hope Of the abolition Of the
manufacture and use of booze.
1T is permissible to disagree with
the president that beer and wine are
in any way more necessary than whis-
ky. Every one of them is first aid
to German bullets, an enemy to food
conservation and deliberately unjust
tax upon the entire country in time
Of war.
"At some national or perhaps inter-
national conference all the chiefs of
the insurance world will put q coop
erative ban on fntoxicants.
'It is the man who drinks who is
more largely responsible for the pres
ent mortality tables than any other
factor.
'.It is the man who drinks who is
forced to pay a greater sum for his
insurance than otherwise would be the
eff the man who drinks is still ac-
ceptable as a risk at a certain price,
then the man whose system is free
from the brain-numbing poison is en-
titled to a lower rate"

CHAPTER Xl.
A Defeat.

The gown which Rodney had spoken
of apologetically as a coronation robe.
was put away; the maid sent to bed.
Rose, huddled into big, quilted bath
robe, and in spite of the comfortable
warmth Of the room, feeling cold clear
into the bones-cold and tremulous,
and sure that when she tried to talk
her teeth would chatter-sat waiting
for Rodney to come back from seeing
the Lakes part way home.
She gave a last panicky shiver
when she heard his latchkey, then
pulled herself together.
"Come in here, Roddy," she called
as he reached the head of the stairs.
II want to talk about something"
He had hoped, evidently, to find her
abed and fast asleep. His cautious
footballs on the stairs made clear his
intention not to waken her. "Oh, I'm
sorry" he said, pausing at the door to
her dressing-room, but not coming in.
II didn't know you meant to sit up
for me. II I'd known you were wait
ing, I'd have come back sooner"
II haven't minded" she told him.
"I've been glad of a chance to think.
But now oh, please come
in and shut the door!"
He did come in, but with manifest
reluctance, and he stayed near the
door in an attitude of arrested de-
parture. It's pretty late" he pro-
tested with a nonchalance that rang
little fiat. "You must be awfully
tired. Hadn't we better put OF our
pow-wow"
She understood well enough. The
look in her face, some uncontrolled
infection in her voice she had meant
to keep SO even, had given her away.
He suspected she was going to be
"t-sSic." If he didn't look out, there'd
be scene"
1--WE can't put it off," she said. Il
let you have your talk out with the
Lakes, but you'll have to talk with me
now"
1--WE spent most of the time talking
about you anyway" he said pleasant
ly. They're both mad about you.
You were a perfect miracle tonight,
darling. when they were here. But
now, like this :" He came over
to her with his arms out.
But she cried out 'sDon'tP and
sprang away tsora him. "Please don't.

wouldn't answer. He didn't want to
talk to anybody. But no one can re-
sist the mechanical bell ringers they
use in exchanges nowadays-the even
spaced ring and wait, ring and wait,
SO manifestly incapable of discourage
ment. At the end of forty-fve Sec
onds, he snatched open his door,
punched the jack into its socket,
caught up the head piece, and bel
lowed "Helloi" into the dangling
transmitter.
And five minutes later he was call
ing Rose on the wire. "Rose, listen
to thisl Barry Lake and his wife are
here. He just called up. They got in
from New York at five o'clock, and
I've asked them out to dinner.-Barry
Lake and Jane! What's the matter?
Can't you hear me?, Why,
they're about the best friends I've
got. The magazine writer, you know,
and his wife. And they're coming out
to dinner-coming right out. I told
them not to dress. I'll come straight
home myself-get there before they
do, I guess. All rightl Good
byw
But he sat there frowning in puz-
zled sort Of way for half minute.
Roses voice had certainly sounded
queer. He was sure she hadn't
planned anything else for tonight. He
distinctly remembered her saying just
before he left for the office, that they'd
have the evening to themselves. And
it was incredible that she minded his
bringing home two old friends like
the Lakes on the spur Of the moment,
to take pot-luck. Oh, well, you
couldn't tell about peoples voices over
the phone. There must have been
something funny about the connection.
An opportune taxi just passing the
entrance to his Office building as he
came out, enabled Rodney to better
the fifteen minutes he'd allowed for
getting home. But in spite Of that
fact, he found Rose rather splendidly
gowned for her expected guests.
"Good gracious I" he cried excitedly.
''What did you do that for7 thought

He stared at her. gave shrug OF

HYou are angry about something
then" he said. IT thought so when 1
first came in. But. honestly, don't
know what it's about"
"Tm not angry" she said, as stead
lily a. she could. She mustn't let 1t
go on like this. They were getting
started all wrong somehow. "You
didn't want me to touch you the night
when came to your Office, when you
were working on that case. But 1t
wasn't because you were angry with
me. Well. I'm like that tonight.
There's something that's got to be
thought out. Only I'm not like you.
I can't do it alone. I've got to have
help. I don't want to be soothed, and
comforted like a child, and don't
want to be made love to. just want
to be treated like a human being"
II see," he said. Very deliberately,
he lighted cigarette, found himself
an ash tray. and settled down astride
a spindling little chair. "All right" he

said. "Now, come on with your trou-
bles." He didn't say "little troubles"
but his voice did and his smile.
Rose steadied herself as well as she
could. "We've made a horrible mis-
take" she began. II don't suppose it's
either of our faults exactly. It's been
mine in way, of course, because 1t
wouldn't have happened If I hadn't
been-thoughtless and ignorant.
might have seen it If I'd thought to
look. But didn't-not really, until to-
night"
He wanted to know what the mis-
take was. he was still smiling in
good-humored amusement over her
seriousness.
"It's pretty near everything" she
said. "You've hated the way we've
lived-the way this house has made us
live. I haven't liked it, really. But I
never stopped to think what it meant"
"What it does mean," he said, with
a good deal of attention to his ciga-
rette, 'is that things are desirable to
me now, because am in love with you,
that weren't desirable before. don't
see anything terrible about that"
''There isn't" she said, when
when you're in love with me. But you
aren't in love with me all the time.
And when you aren't, you must hate
me for what I've done to you"
His face flushed deep. He sprang
to his feet and threw his cigarette into
the fire. "That's perfectly outrageous
I@ tef1
to it."
"If 1t weren't true" she persisted,
you wouldn't be excited like that. If
I hadn't known it before, I'd have
known 1t when saw you with the
Lakes. You can give them something
you can't give me, not with all the
love in the world. I never heard about
them till tonight-not in a way I'd re-
member. And there are other people
you spoke Of some of them at din
ner-who are living here. that you've
tried to sweep them all out Of your
life; to 60 to dances and the opera
and things with me. You did 1t be-
cause you loved me, but it wasn't fair
to either of US, Roddy. Because you
can't love me all the time. I don't
believe a mana real man-can love
a woman all the time. And If she
makes him hate her when he doesn't
love her, he'll get SO he hates loving
her."
You're talking nonsense" he said
again roughly. He was pacing the
room by now. STARK, staring nom
sense! I've never stopped loving you
since the first day we walked together.
And should think I'd done enough to
prove It"
That's it." she said. you've done
too much. And you're SO sorry for
me when you don't love me, that 1t
makes you do all the more"
She had found another joint in his
arner. She was absolutely clairvoy-
ant tonight, and this time he fairly
cried out: stop It'll"
