BEGIN HERE TODAY.

After five years of married life,
Lucinda bruce decided that wealth,
youth, beauty and social position
were not sufficient for happiness.
The heavy drinking and promiscuous
filtration of her husband, Bethany,
had destroyed his wife's love for him
and he has been warned that his next
escapade will mean a definite break.
Events are in this state when Luz
cinda visits the studio of Alma Daley,
motion picture queen, on the invita-
ton Of harry Lontaine. Lontaine is
about TO form a moving picture COM
pany in California. Lucinda is
greatly interested in the work at the
studio but laughingly rejects Alma
Daley's offer of a chance to appear
in the next picture. That evening,
at the Palais Royal, Lucinda is dane
ing with Daubeney when an intoxicat-
ed couple crash into them and fall
to the floor.

he spoke to Bellamy in a low voice,
and the latter swung round with
startled eyes and a dropping jaw.
She closed her fingers on his wrist
and put all her strength into that
grasp.
"Come, BEL" she said clearly and
not unkindly. please don't keep me
waiting. The car is here, we're go
ing home
For moment the balance wav-
cred, then Bells eyes fell and she
knew she had won.
"Oh, Alright" he mumbled with
strange docility. Didn't know you
We're waitin', Linda. Get RI in the
car-be with you in jush minute. -
NO. She said firmly-"you'r re
coming with me now"
She drew him away. He yielded
without remonstrance, permitted
her to lead him to the door of the
car, stumbled in on his knees, and
crawled up to the seat.
Lucinda followed, the door closed
behind her with clap sweeter than
music in her hearing. And with
purring gears the car shot out of
range of those leering faces.
Lucinda had forgotten Dobbin as
utterly as if she had never known
him.
Bellamy lay in a loose SLOUGH,
breathing heavily. The passing
lights revealed the stupidity of his
3ongested features. His eyes were
nalf-closed, he seemed to be asleep.
When at length the car stopped,
ihe jumped out and, leaving Bellamy

Notwithstanding that Hartford
Willis was pledged to code of NOR

eighteen-eighties, and so implacably
antagonistic to the general trend Of
present-day thought on the divorce
question, his great affection for Lu-
cinda predisposed him to allow that

sepulchral voice.

the subsequent silence the clock
chimed twelve.
Lucinda rose then, ard changed
to her simplest street suit.
For half an hour or 50 she was
busy at desk and dressing table,
packing a cheque book and her
jewels with other belongings in a
small handbag. She aid not falte~
once or waste a single move through
indecision. indeed, lt did not once
occur to her that there was any
thing to be done but what she mean.
to do.
Shortly after one o'clock, she left
Bel snoring, crept down the stairs,
and with infinite stealth let herself
out to the street.
Spurred by irrational fear lest Bel
lamy wake up, discover her flight,
and give chase, Lucinda made in
haste for Fifth avenue; cab slid up
to the curb, its driver with two fin
gers to his cap soliciting a fare. Lu-
cinda breathed the first address that
came to her mind - Grand Central,
please"-hopped in, and shrank
fearfully away from the windows.
At the station a negro porter with
a red cap opened the cab door and
took possession of her single piece of
luggage, and when she had paid off
the taxi and looked to him in indie
cision, prompted her with: "Whut
train was yo' wishin to TEX, ma amp"
An instant later Lucinda was Won
deripg why she replied: ''The first
train for Chicago, please" She knew
no reason why she should have
named Chicago rather than any
other city where she was unknown
and where she might count on being
free to think things out in her own
time and fashion.
