him. He had many adventitious things
to offer her-snch advantages as mod
ern civilization has made desirable tt
hothouse women-but he could moi
give the clean, splendid youth she
craved. It was the price he had paid
for many sybaritic pleasures he had
been too soft to deny himself
With only a little more than two
weeks Of freedom before her, Beatrice
! made the most Of her days. For the
first time In her life she became a
creature Of moods. The dominant ones
were rebellion. recklessness and re-
pentance. While Bromfield waited and
fumed she rode and tramped with
Clay. 1t was not fair to her aff1anced
lover. She knew that. But there were
times when she wanted to shrek as
dressmakers and costumers fused
over her and wore out her tangled
nerves with multitudlnous details.
The same hysteria welled up in her
occasionally at the luncheons and din
ners that were being given In honor of
her approaching marriage.
It was not logical, of course. She
was moving toward the destiny she
had chosen for herself. But there was
an instinct In her, savage and prtmi-
tive, to hurt Bromfield because she
herself was suffering. In the privacy
Of her room she passed hours Of tear
full regret for these bursts of fierce
insurrection.
Ten days before the wedding Bea.
trice wounded his vanity f1agrantly.
Clarendon was giving On informal tea
for her at his rooms. Half an hour
before the time set, Beatrice got him
on the wire and explained that her
car was stalled with engine trouble
two miles from Yonkers.
~rm awf1y sorry, Clary," she
pleaded. I'VE ought not to have come
80 far. Please tell our friends I'VE
been delayed, and-1 won't do 1t
again"
Bromfield hung up the receiver In
cold fury. He restrained himself for
the moment, made the necessary ex-
planation, and went through with the
tea somehow. But as soon as his
guests were gone he gave himself up
to his anger. He began planning a
revenge on the man who no doubt was
laughing In his sleeve at him. He 4
wanted the fellow exposed, discredited
and humiliated.
But how2 Walking up and down
bis room like Gagged panther, Brom-
field remembered that Lindsay had
other enemies In New York, powerful,
ones, who would be eager to cooper
ate with him In bringing about the
mans downfall. Was It possible for
him to work with them under covert
e SO. In what way?
Clarendon Bromf1eld was not a Grim.
nal, but conventional member Of
society. It was not In his mind or In |
lis character to plot the murder or
mayhem Of his rival What he wanted |
vas public disgrace, one that would |
,lare his name out to the newspapers
ID a lawbreaker. He wanted to sicken |
Beatrice and her father OF their |
strange infatuatlon for Lindsay.
A plan began to unfold itself for
i'm. 1t was one which called for ex- |
,ert assistance. He called up Jerry |
)urand, got him on the telephone, and |
made an appointment to meet him
secretly.

the Veterans Bureau. Director of the
Budget Dawes, John Barton Payne.

Legion.
Following the conference, Director
Forbes and Gen. Dawes left for New
corning hospitalization. Col. Forbes
intending to further clear up the sit
uation regarding the Fox Hills hospi-
tai. which had been ordered abandoned.
Although specific results of the
White House conference were lack
ing. and it was understood that the
matter of making them public was
left with Col. Forbes. it was learned
that criticisms made by the Amer
lean Legion disqualification commit
tee were taken up and. with regard
to specific charges against the re-
Mobilization service in Illinois" diff
ferences had been 'ironed out.
Urge Langley Bill.
Brig. Gen. Abel Davis of Chicago.
a member Of the legion committee.
said the President had been urged to
approve the Langley bill, now before
Congress. providing substantial ap-
preparation for hospital construction,
alleged by the legion to be urgently
needed.
The proposal that service men
being treated under the supervision
of the public health service be trans
ferred to the Veterans Bureau was
discussed. the legion representatives
tients were still outside the bureaus
supervision. Two-thirds of these
were mental or tubercular cases. 1t
was said, requiring special treatment.
The President was understood to
have given his approval to the pro-
posal.

President Harding and his party re-
turned from Florida shortly after
noon yesterday. the special train
having made the run on scheduled
time and without incident.
Col Forbes is understood to strong
ly take the position that the Vet
erans' Bureau be given authority
and money to actually construct the
hospitals needed for veterans.
Under decision of the federal
board of capitalization. as reported
to the President through the director
of the budget. the Veterans Bureau
was authorized only to determine
the location and kind OF hospitals to
be built and operated for the care of
the world war veteran" But it is
understood Director Forbes is of the
belief that with funds for erection
of the hospitals still in the hands of
the federal board of hospitalization,
the Veterans Bureau is impotent to
face the situation.
