An echo of the proceedings came with a
letter from the star requesting Kennedy to
write Il series Of articles on the abuses in
the courts through Inscriptions attorneys.
1t had always been Kennedys ambition to
write and in this offer Mary saw an oppor-
tuuity to bring them nearer, arresting his

she might copy the articles.

ing her embarrassment and trying to put
her at ease. The work went easily and
well. and an arrangement of three evenings

Tonight she was too happy To rebel at
the sordidnesS of her home surroundings.
In the siN months since Margaret had come
TO New York there had been many DAYS of
bitter encouragement. only pride and grim
determination goaded her on in her ambi-
tion to be a famous writer Her work with
Kennedy came as an alleviating respite
from the worries of the weekly bills
kennedys pride in his new work knew
no bounds when the star complimcnted him
on his first article, but Mary'S enthusiasm
was somewhat forced. Instead Of bringing
them nearer as she had hoped. the work
was only widening their estrangement.
That it was most unwise for any wife to
depend solely upon her husband for happi.

had done.

sponse. That was all. For hours Mary

The evening work was nearing the end,

Kennedy was paying her most generously,
it was only three evenings a week be-
sides, she was paying several small debts.

the three dark flights to her back hail

out the daylight from the one small stained
window.
The first glimpse Of the mail that had
been thrust under the door brought to her
throat the sick Clutchng that always came
with rejected manuscript. Inside was the
usual slip, without even personal line
to take away the sting.
Would she have the heart to send it out
again? She had put into it her best work
for she had written about the things she
knew. 1t was story of a sordid boarding
house-the life she was living. Having
woven into 1t her own struggles, her heart
aching loneliness, her starved ambition she
had called it THE Woman Alone

glad to rush off without her dessert

her door to shut out the sounds of dis

There was in her heart the dread chill
