CHAPTER III.
Enter q Hero.

No one could remember when
Stephen Dale had not been an admirer
Of Marjorie Langley. It started when
the piquaat Marjorie was sent of to
Europe for a finishing course after
boarding school She met Dale on the
Riviera where he was unwillingly in
the tow OF his family who were doing
Europe much more thoroughly than
people with their type Of expensive
yacht generally did. Young Stephen,
who had been dragged from one IA
nous ruin to another with very bad
grace suddenly developed a passion for
inscriptions, stained glass windows,
and moldy relics viewed through the
reflection of Marjorie's crimson sun
shade.
His devotion had persisted through
the years. He had been constantly
at the beck and call OF the capricious
Marjorie who fitted from one fire to
another, coming back always to the
steady unquenchable fame that glowed
in Dale's quiet grey eyes.
There had been only one break In
their friendship; for some unaccount-
able reason-unaccountabl as far as
the watching world was concerned
he had gone off on the yacht, without
adieu for a years cruise. Everyone
said that Marjorie had given him his
congo at last. but he had come back
al the end Of the year as constant a.
devoted as ever, but the nrst streaks

II men liked her and wanted to

Besides there was a lot to be paid
out to men, in a sort of generously
ambiguous fashion, for the rotten
way they treated unattractive girls;
ignoring them, saying smartly hu-
morous things about them in club
smoking rooms, and making wall
flowers Of them at dances.
Diana may Rave had her own
mother in mind when she thought
this out; certainly it was never
inspired by Marjorie Langley, who
was still beautiful enough to have
vogue when Diana was fully grown.

 Similar action has been taken in Minneapolis, where it is said, that nothing would be done to encourage boys or girls in a life of crime. Books of the blood and thunder kind were held to furnish boys particularly with ideas which later developed into crimes of a serious nature in some cases.
 Tales of harmless adventure are held to be all right, according to Miss Endicott. but the rough stuff is under the ban. According to Miss .Endi- cott's view, books which would be
