STORY YOU BEGIN AT ANY TIME Her Side---and His How Cora and David Temple rrob.ms
 By ZOE BECKLEY
The Food of Love.

With civilized women in love. "Fccd the brute!" as the sesame to a mans heart has changed to "Fecd tho man." Cynics notwithstanding. modern man of caliber has developed soul above tho stomach-,or is it that the chef at club and restaurant has sup planted woman as caterer to mans stomach? At any rate. man now de- mands more than good meals as toll to his heart.
 Whatever defects bohemia has, mod ernity is one or its virtues. Lucy Benton was modern: so was Walt. She understood him. in some respects, even better than did his wife. all though Janet herself was alive in every fiber with the spirit ot woman- hood of the day. only that Janet was so near Walt that his immediate hardships oppressed her even. more than they did him: certainly she felt them more keenly than did Lucy Benton. Paradoxically enough, this put her at a disadvantage as com- pared to Lucy in understanding Walt at this particular time. He was moro in need of sympathy with his future than of relief from immediate priva- ton. He wanted food for his spirit.
 At breakfast one morning, Janet handed him a letter addressed in handwriting she knew to he LuCy's. Walt read it in silence. Then Janet saw his face light up. She rose and went to put on her hat and coat, leav- ing her coffee unfinished.
 Janet. will you read this and toll me what you think of ito" Walt caled out handing her the letter. She read it:
 Dear Walt:

This is busy day at the Lyceum theater. Tonight marks the opening performance of the new stock com pany and Manager Lynch is deter mined to make it G noteworthy event in local theatricals.
 With the new company comes the Introduction of new ideas, new faces and new plays.

What Happened When Madge, Dicky and the Cosgroves Surprised Mrs. Allis.

I reluctantly admit that my knees were shaking under me as 1 stood hidden behind curtain in the hall of the old Cosgrove farmhouse at 1 o'clock in the morning, and heard the door opened by Mrs. Allis to admit the man who was to aid her in stealing the valuable collection of pictures in the parlor
 was afraid that she might make some search for hidden watchers be- fore beginning her nefarious work. and the thought made me remble with terror.
 But evidently Mrs Cosgrove had been doing some clever work In the afternoon, for the first audible words from Mrs. Alls lips showed that she imagined that the coast was entirely clear
 Have you the things?'' she de- manded in q low tone, "the flashlights, the waterproof wrappings for the can- vases and the knives?"
 "All set" the man returned. laconi- cally Are you sure everything is safe here?"
 Absolutely" Mrs. Allis replied.
 "Where's that artists wife you thought was spying on you?" the man persisted.
 1T told you everything was safe, she repeated impatiently. The ar- tist and his wife are shivering in the jail. I reported them for violating the game laws. and they were arrested and taken away this afternoon"
 But are these people boobs enough to leave these pictures unprotected now they know the value of them?"
 '"Do you think I'd be fool enough to try this thing tonight if hadn't every thing flXed?" Mrs. A1lis demanded savagely "The Cosgroves go on the theory that no one has known about this stuff. and that there's mighty little danger of any one learning about it. They arc not even sleeping in the house. Mrs Cosgrove asked me to be sure that the front door was locked if I stayed up after the rest of them went to bed in their bungalow. so just as soon as you get these things shipped out Is going to lock the door and creep up to bed, where I'll be the most surprised and shocked party you can ina zine in the morning.
 "NOw, if I've answered all your questions satisfactorily" with note of deep snrcasm in her voice. Suppose VIC can the chatter and get to work.
 "Mrs. Cosgrove always pulls the curtains clear down to the sill. so it will be perfectly safe for us to use the nashlights.'
 They went into the parlor. and noiselessly slipping out of my hiding place I followed as near as I dared. I knew that Dicky and MT. Cosgrove must by this time have undone the hook in the inside of the clothes press which they had so carefully oiled in the afternoon.
 "Whnt a Brave ArrRy!''
 The supreme moment for which I had been waiting all week seemed to be at hand. and my whole body was thrilling with mingled excitement and terror.
 Then there came a glow Illuminating one of the pictures that came from the electric fiashlight held steadily in the hands of Mrs Allis. By it's light I saw the man whom we had overhear I'd talking with Mrs. Allis in the woods coaching up to the picture to take it down preparatory to cutting the can- vas from the frame.
 Both the backs of Mrs. Allis and l the man were toward be. For an in- terminable minute I wondered why 1 Dicky and MT. Cosgrove did not act

 LUCY"
 Poor Janet! She felt Fate were playing with her as cat with a mouse. She had been wistful, so anxious to work in partnership with Walt in just such way as this which Lucy offered. She had jumped with joy when Roy Nicoll had offered Walt 8 chance to Write a novel for the mag azine of which she was editor.
 Walt had flatly turned down the chance to work with her! But now his face fairly shone with eagerness to say "Yes!" to Lucy's proposition. Painfully into Janets consciousn ess pierced the wonder if, after all she and Walt were not mismated. She had always thought herself a woman of the times. Yet she sensed in the situation what Lucy had actually eX- pressed to Walt that night the two sat oyer their coffee at the Lafayette, though Janet did not know it.
