THE LOVE GAMBLER
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water

Thanks! I'd love to-" he accept
ed promptly.
He was glad he had his dress suit
IN the case he had brought from
New York with him. He chuckled
as he refleated on the conditions
under which he had recently worn
it.
"A butler few nights ago, a
chauffeur when / last saw Miss
Bristol, and gentleman tonight" p"
he muttered. Presto, change"
seems to have been my rule of life
lately
He looked so handsome when he
appeared in Miss Brist OILS drawing
room at 1880 that she took both of
his hands in hers and gave them an
affectionate squeeze.
How nice it is to see you, dear
boy!" she said. "I declare it brings
back the days when your blessed
aunt was here and when I used to
meet you so often in her home. But
surely you did not sail for France
when you expected to? You could
not have returned as soon as this ?"
He determined to be strictly
truthful-in word, at least.
Il did not get back to France
after seeing you" he admitted. 81
had been over there already. you
see, and had been wounded and sent
back home"
But you did not tell me that"
NO, l did not l hoped to go
was signed. Now tell me about
yourself"
just What He Hoped
Her attitude of mind was just
what David DeLaine had hoped it
would be. For he had determined
not to ask his question until he and
his hostess had been together so
long that the query would come nat
urally and not as a sudden and ir-
relevant demand. He had learned
to be very wary.
So he listened to her talk about
the war-work she had been doing,
the books she had been reading. the
various plays she had attended. At
dinner he praised sincerely the Si-
cellent food, but shook his head
when she suggested that he might
like n glass of wine.
II am surprised at you!" he
teased. What would Uncle Sam
say If he knew that such a patriot
as you offered liquor to a man just
out of the service"
you see, my doctor recommends
It," she said so, with your per-
mission l will follow his orders
He watched her, a comfortable
sense of 'well-being stealing over
him. He was once more in his own
circle, bearing his own name, and
under no necessity of assuming a
role he hated.
The only drawback to his comfort
was his fear as to Dosiree's opinion
of David DeLaine.

Why had Desiree Leighton been
unwilling to meet him when she was
visiting his aunt?
That was the question that tor
mented David DeLaine for several
hours after he had left the lawyers
office.
A few days ago the problem would
have affected him much less than 1t
did now. To-day, with the knowl-
edge that he was man of inde-
pendent means, he. longed to return
to New York and lay his heart and
fortune at the feet of the girl he
loved.
Mature reflection told him that
she might refuse to see him when
she learned that he had been an
impostor, had gone under an assum-
ed name, had pretended to be what
he was not and had concealed from
her and her father who he really
was. She might not be able to un-
der stand the instinct that had
moved him to adopt this course, to
set out upon the adventure that had
come near terminating disastrously.
If the pendant had not been found,
he might have been accused of theft
Then he reminded himself how
she had confessed to him her faith
in him, and he yearned to go to her
Immediately.
But Henry Andrews statement as
to her reluctance to meet the ne
phew of Miss Jeanne DeLaine wor-
ried him intensely. If she wished
to avoid him when he was living "a
conventional life in Baltimore,
would she not shrink from him
now?
Why had she been unwilling to
meet the nephew of an old friend of
her mothers?
this to him. If his aunt were here
she might enlighten him. Now that
she was gone, who could?
All at once he remembered his
aunt's intimate friend, Miss Bristol
He recalled his brief talk with her
in October in New York, and his
bungling efforts to escape her re-
cognition that evening.
He was now in the smoking room
of his hotel. Seeking a telephone
directory, he looked for the address
of Miss Myra Bristol"
In five minutes he had called her
up and asked permission to pay his
respects to her late that afternoon.
Glad to See Him
oh, - are you back from
France?" the spinster exclaimed.
Il seem to be-" he laughed And
| am eagerly anticipating a call
upon you"
But" she insisted, Il have a bet
ter plan. Instead of coming this
afternoon. arrange to dine with me
this evening"

CHAPTER CCCxxvuI


On the morning after the birthday
dinner, which Phoebe and Neal gave
me, l wrapped up the blue crepe de
chine dress and marched down to
Tom Mason's new uptown office with
it. ] couldn't decide which of two mo-
tives actuated me, so | gave it up as
a bad job and got into action without
'tinsisting on analyzing the why's and
wherefores of that action.
on the one hand 1 felt sure that
l was taking the dress back to Daisy
solely and simply because | wanted
Ler to have it, and to have the as
surance it would bring that l wished
10 be friends with her as of yore. On
the other hand, l knew l was curl
Gus to see how she'd explain the pc

me, l couldn't understand.
"Oh, Mrs. Harrison this is nice!"

She had what 1 should call her best
sGleswoman manner and reverted to
calling me Mrs. Harrison" That
gave me my opening.
Why not Anne?" | asked.
DO l call you Anne? l mean may
/: That's so sweet of you. And |
can't tell you how much l appreciate
your coming here to see me. 1t was
to see me?" she asked with mean
ingless formality from which an ef-
fort at warmth and intimacy must
slide off like water from high glazed
Chinese pottery.
It's to see you, Daisy" I said, con-
tiEuing my efforts to get below the
surface to the fine feelings she had
revealed the day she returned my
ring.
That's sweet" she said again.
Perhaps you will look about a bit
and wait until my assistant returns

No Cause For Coal
Increase Now, Says
Miners Statement

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 1s.-That
there is no cause for a reported
movement to increase the price of
bituminous coal is the assertion
made in a statement issued from the
international headquarters of the
United Mine Workers of America.
Local coal dealers declare that,
since the strike order was issued, the
price of coal has been increased at
the mines from 25 to so cents a ton
and say 1t is likely will go even
higher. One local operator said the
price now was no object, and that
retail dealers and industrial concerns
were offering higher prices in order
to get coal.

DEVELOPMENTS IN MURDER
 OF ]. STANLEY BROWN

Mount Clemens, Mich. Dec. S2- Statements that rivalry for her acec- tions had led to threats of violence against J Stanley Brown, killed in his automobile near here last Tuesday night, were denied today by Mrs. Dolly Peck Bennett. Mrs. Bennett, brought hcer this morning from 7 Sandusky. Ohio, was questioned at length by Sheriff Caldwell, and held for further interrogation. Meanwhile the sheriff was checking up her statement of her movements before and after the dis covery of Browns body pitched over the wheel of his automobile, or the road between here and Detroit.
 Two men, one a taxicab driver and the other soldier. sought by the au- thorities, had not been located early this evening. It was the taxicab driv- CT. according to statements previous ly made to the authorities, who had threatened Brown. Mrs. Bennett told the sherifTe that she knew a chauffeur acquaintance Of Browns, but em- phatically stated he was not on friend ly terms with her. - s-.-'
 The soldier, it was learned today. is being sought to substantiate story that Brown had armed himself follow Ing the alleged threats against his life. According to this statement Brown, fearing that in an impassion td moment he might use his revol- yer turned 1t over to the soldiers. The names of both the taxicab driver and the soldier are being withheld by the authorities.
