Daphne took OF her slippers and
fondled her poor abused feet as IL they
were her children. But when she tried
to thrust them back into her slippers
for q final desperate effort she almost
shrieked with the hurt.
"Tll have to go the rest Of the WAY
In my stocking feet" she moaned.
"Not II 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
above went bowling by with its flag
up.
Clay ran out and howled at It till it
stopped, circled round, and drew up by
the bridle-path. Then he ran to Daphne
and bundled her into It, and gave her
address 20 the driver.
"But how are you going to pay him?"
she sighed. blissfully, as they shot
along. "Not that ! are at ALL"
II haven't figured that out" said
Clay. "Ill drop you at home and then
take him to my club and see it I can't
borrow from somebody there. If I
can't, I'll give him my watch or the
fight Of his life"
That's terrible !" Daphne sighed.
ITO think how much I have cost you !"
SWELL ! wanted to give you a good
time on your little VISIT said Clay,
"and it's only two days till my next
salary day."
Her heart sank. Her guess was
right. His bank account was dry. 1t
had gurgled out in amusing her. She
felt that there was something here
that would take a bit Of thinking about
when she had rested enough to
think.
The taxicab swung into Fifty-ninth
street and drew up to the curb. Clay
helped Daphne out and said to the
chauffeur, "Waitl"
He said it with just the tone he had
used when he said to the waiter,
"Check 7"
When Clay had kissed her his seven
teenth farewell and was wondering
how he could tear himself away from
her without bleeding to death, Daphne
pressed the bell.
Instead of her drowsy mother open
ing the door half an inch and fleeing
in her curl-papers, Bayard himself ap-
peared In his bathrobe and pajamas.
"Bayard" Daphne gasped as she
sprang for him. "What on earth
brought You home SO soon2"
"Money gave out" he laughed.
"Hello, Clay" he said as he put
forth his hand. Mother tells me

sister all this time. you old scoundrel!

"Lend me five dollars" said Clay.

"Come on over and play in our yard

Daphne had never met a famous
actress. She was wild to Join the
group and to know Tom Duane better
But Clay spoke with an icy fnality.
"Thanks, old man.. We've already

not invited Duane to sit down.

smiled like a boy rebuked. "All right,

was.

confessed, with a lovable intimacy

noted that he started violently as he

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 a wave-bufeted, 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 arrivel j..
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 q loyable 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 a quick plunge into It for
q long stay. How could she rejoice to
find a strange woman there-eyen
though she bore the sacred name Of
mOther-in-law? N
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 It should have expressed. Even
d mother could hardly be glad to see
her son II such discouraging circum-
stances. All three exchanged Ques-
tions more and more perfunctorily, and
kept repeating themselves. The most
popular question was, 81 wonder where

his mother and Daphne good morning,
and he paced up and down the dining
room, like a Gagged leopard till Leila
arrived. .s
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 a tribute.
''.Isn't she q dream, mother7 Aren't
you proud of her, Daph?"
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 q por-
tion OF a headline, had his newspaper

He was 50 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 Ne had only few minutes left
before he must take his departure.
II was q 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

she was only q partaof It. He had said
that he could think Of nothing else and

Thousands of People Throng
Streets of Twin Cities to Wit

PROUD OF ARTILLERY
Flock to ST. Paul and. Minneapolis
to Join in Reception to Heroes
From Europe.

Minneapolis, May 10.-Braving a
mile-long barrage of welcome roaring
over their heads and into their very
ranks, Minnesota's victorious soldiers
marched through the heart of Mime
apolis into the hearts of their waiting
home-folks
Soldiers, sailors and marines,
wounded boys and girls who softened
the anguish of wounds; fighting pals
from our sister country to the north;
state and city officials; military staffs
and welcoming committees-al COM
bined in procession of victory
through aisles of cheering, shouting
humanity; by many thousands the
largest concourse of people ever
assembled in Minneapolis.
Nicollet avenue was transformed
into Way of Welcome, a Boulevard
of Victory, lined from curb to cornice
with bunting and flags and bordered
with joy-mad thousands. Windows,
roofs, balconies, and parapets were
fringed and filled and laden with hun
dreds more. bands were drowned in
cheering. and over all the watching
airplanes circled and dipped and soar
ed
From The Gateway to The Parade
marched the fighting men of the North
Star state, led by the gallant 151st
field artillery in honor of whose return
from France the day had been set
apart.
Longer parades have been given in
Minneapolis; more brilliant spectacles
have been seen in its streets and
parks; yet the procession engendered
deeper feelings than any other in the
city's history.
Wild Welcome at ST. Paul.
st. Paul. May 9.-They come back
veterans. Eyes to the front, even
though friends called to them by name
from the crowds along the line of
march, the 151st United States Field
Artillery marched as on parade
through downtown ST Paul 1t was
their first review on Minnesota soil.
Bronzed, carrying their gas masks
and wearing their tin hats, but having
no sidearms or guns, they marched
through yelling, horn footing, whist
ling, delirious crowd that pressed
against the ropes and surged forward
to get closer to the Minnesota boys
who fought from Chateau Thierry to
Sedan.
1t took the parade an hour to pass
the reviewing stand at the st. Paul
postOffice IL is estimated that more
than $4,000 persons saw the artillery
men march by.
Chicken Dinners Served.
When they had finished they were
given dinner in st. Paul hotels and
clubs. 1t was some dinner, 1000 chick
ems having been prepared.
Then, on schedule time, they were
to entrain at the Great Northern sta.
tion for Minneapolis.
