Daphne took off her slippers and
fondled her poor abused feet as If they
were her children. But when she tried
to thrust them back into her slippers
for final desperate effort she almost
shrieked with the hurt.
"Tn have to go the rest Of the way
in my stocking feet" she moaned.
"Not If I have to carry you" Clay
growled.
Before he had a chance to carry out
his resolution a taxicab that had de-
posted its fares at an apartment house

felt that there was something here

The taxicab swung into Fifty-nintt
street and drew up to the curb. Clay
helped Daphne out and said to the
chauffeur, "Wait!"
He said it with just the tone he had
used when he said to the waiter
"Check!"
When Clay had kissed her his seven

how he could tear himself away from
her without bleeding to death, Daphne
pressed the bell.

CHAPTER VI.

The meeting Of Daphne and her new
sister-in-law was not what either would
have expected or selected. Daphne
was tired in body and soul, discour-
aged, footsore and dismayed about her
love and her lover. She had reached
the door Of the apartment in the mood
Of wave-buffeted, outswum castaway,
eager for nothing but to lie down in
the sand and sleep.
Daphne could imagine the feelings
Of her brothers wife when she
reached her home after a long ocean
voyage. a. night landing, the custom
house ordeal, and the cab ride among
the luggage, and found a mother-in.
law asleep in her bed and a sister-in-
law yet to arrive!
Bayard and Leila, serene in the be-
lief that Daphne and her mother had
gone back to Cleveland, entered the
apartment without formality and went
about switching on lights. recovering
their little home from the night with
magic instantaneity.
Mother Kip's awakening came from
the light that Bayard flashed in his
bedroom. Leila had a lovable dispo-
sition, but she was tired, and all the
way up in the overloaded cab she had
thought longingly Of the beautiful bed
In her own new home, and had prom
ised herself quick plunge into it for
a long stay. How could she rejoice to
find strange woman there-even
though she bore the sacred name of
mother-in-law?
Mother Kip ordered Bayard and
Leila out Of their own room and when
she was ready to be seen she had so
many apologies to make and accept
that the meeting entirely lacked the
rapture 1t should have expressed. Even
a mother could hardly be glad to see
her son in such discouraging circum-
stances. All three exchanged cues.

a smallish bed in a smallish bedroom.

"Come on over and play in our yard,
then"
Daphne had never met q famous
actress. She was wild to Join the
group and to know Tom Duane better.
But Clay spoke with an Icy finality.
'Thanks, old man. We've already
ordered" He still stood, and he had
not invited Duane to sit down.
Tom Duane looked at Daphne and
smiled like boy rebuked. "All right,
I'll go quietly. I know when I'm
kicked out. But next time won't go
SO easily. Good night"
He put his warm, friendly hand out
again to Daphne and to Clay, who
nodded him away with an appalling in
formality, considering how great he
was.
Other people came in, some of them
plainly sightseers, some Of them per-
sonages of quality. Everybody seemed
happy, clandestine. romantic. This
was life as Daphne wanted to live 1t.
But at length she yawned. Her little
hand could not conceal the cont0rtion
Of her features.

confessed, with a lovable intimacy.

his mother and Daphne good morning,
and he paced up and down the dining
room like a Gagged leopard till Leila
arrived.
Her trousseau had included boudoir
gowns Of the most ravishing descrip-
ton and she wore her best one to
breakfast. Daphne and Mrs. Kip made
all the desirable EXPLANATIONS at the
cost and the cut of it. Even Bayard
paid her tribute.
"Isn't she a dream, mother? Aren't
you proud of her, DaphY"
They agreed that she was and they
were, and Bayard drew his chair up to
the table with pride.
It was the brides last breakfast and
the housewives first. That is, Leila,
was not really a housewife; only an
apartment wife. with nearly every
thing done for her except the spending
Of her time. She had to spend her own
time.
This breakfast was the funeral of
the honeymoon, and Leila hung with
graceful detection over the coffee cup.
It might have been a cup Of hemlock,
judging from the posture of her woe.
But the he-brute, attracted by a por-
ton of headline, had his newspaper
and was gulping it down with his cof-
fee.
He was SO absorbed in the mere
clash of two Mexican generals and the
danger of American Intervention that
he forgot the all-important demands
OF love. and ignored the appalling fact
that he had only few minutes left
before he must take his departure.
1t was a pitiful awakening to the
new Mrs. Kip. She was being taught
that she was not important enough to
keep her husbands mind or his body
close at home. He had said that she
was all the world to him, and, behold |!
she was only part of it. He had said
that he could think of nothing else and
desired nothing else but her. Now he
had her and he was thinking Of every
thing else. He had to have a news
paper to tell him all about everything
In the world.
The sight Of Leila's anguish over the
breakfast obsequies of the honeymoon
chilled Daphne's hope of marriage
bliss like frost ravening among peach
blossoms.

and ransacked his trousers pockets
and dropped on the plate every coin he
had. He. withdrew dime and waved

waiter snatched the plate from the
table, that Clay had not tipped him. Ir
