THE WINE OF LIFE
STORY OF AN AMBITIOUS YOUNG SCULPTOR

The message left Storrow In a
none too happy frame of mind. AL
ready, he saw, there were forces
gnawing at the bands with which
he had tried TO tie Torrie the closer
TO him, forces which left even mar
rage altogether in the background.
And yet, he kept telling himself, the
situation had arisen through no
fault of his wife's. She, In all
likelihood, was quite as miserable
over II as her husband, IL the realiza-
ton that she was the possessor OF a
husband had yet crept home to her.
Still swayed by restlessness
which seemed beyond his control, he
went out to dinner. He ate alone,
oppressed for the first time since
his advent to the city by con-
seriousness of his isolation. Then he
Just as modify wandered along
Forty-second street to Broadway and
it's hectoring sky-signs, pausing with
the crowd before the shutting street
traffic of Times Square.
With eyes that were idle and not
altogether free of antagonism, he
edged back against the curb TO
make way for a limousine which
admitted of no argument as 1t i'm
diffused resentment focused into a
sudden startled stare, for In that
limousine he clearly caught sight
of Torrie and Herman Krassler.
He watched the car sweep down
Seventh avenue. His first quick
flush of resentment gave way to a
feeling of humiliation which he
found it hard to define and equally
hard to master. What impressed
him most was the frank enjoyment
on Krassler's face. And the more
he thought of this the more a
slowly enlarging suspicion grew up
in his mind. He dreaded to formu-
late that suspicion. But the wings
of II carried him back to an earlier
scene in the Alwyn Arms.
He was halfway home, in fact, be-
fore he even dignified his /unworded
fears by making a movement to end
them, or IL the worst came to the
worst, to confirm them. Turning in
at pay station, he called up the
theater where he knew Krassler's
company usually rehearsed, and
making his inquiry as curt and
casual as he was able, asked IL
rehearsal of THE Seventh Wave"
was taking place there tonight. This
theater, it was promptly explained
to him over the wire, was housing
company Of its own, with an even
ing performance under way. THE
Seventh. Wave" people could be
found rehearsing down at Acorn
Hall, somewhere on lower Seventh
avenue.
