Then, as Dan said nothing, she added: Possibly you've forgotten that you did ask me to marry you. about an hour ago! Just before you fell for this blond who seems 10 be the newest 'only-woman-l ever loved in your young life!"
 As if she divined that May was talking about her, Goldie at this moment came swaying into the car and stood at Dams elbow. looking up at him with eyes of childish in nocence. Then she calmly lit a cigaret, and smoked 1t, blowing the smoke from her rouged nostrils.
 "I do remember, now that you remind me of it." Dan said coolly. But to tell the truth, it did slip my mind for a minute"
 His tone was impudent and Nays slow gathering anger f1ared up suddenly.
 'I hope you realize that what you do doesn't mean a thing in my life Dan Sprague!" she crie q. 'l wouldn't care If you kissed every actress in America! But what fiI' me with fury is that you can trea' Carlotta this way"
 Which way?" Dan asked inso Iently. I'm sure it's my own bust ness if l chat with a young woman for ten or fifteen minutes. ."

 Although I am sure yon didn't mean 1t, my dear, you treated him rather cavalierly when you fell in love with Jack, and 1t very effectu- ally spoiled Karl's life. I don't think he'll ever care for any other person as much as he did for you, and his love for you was more Of an obses- sion than q passion. He married Alice, I am sure. only because he saw he could make h"r happy by doing so, and he thought he would like 10 be in our family.
 But I cannot complain Of Kari, dear. Whatever he married her for, no man could have been better 10 a woman than he was 10 my poor, unfortunate younger daughter.
 Betty told me the other night that Alice was always crazy about Karl. and she always was railing at you because she said you had treated him so badly.

 He managed a salaam to me even as he showed Steve toward the door. I did not see them go. Spent and trembling.

 But I had no time, I reminded myself sternly, for maudlin intro spection. I must get back to the house and by going to Lillian's room, apprise her, without telling her anything definite. that my part of the affair was finished. Then ! knew she would arise from the feigned nap which she had taken in order to keep herself in igno- rance of my activities, and prepare herself to meet the operative whom Allen Drake had wired to come 10 the farm for the purpose Of appre- hending Steve. Later, knew that must prepare some plausible story for my mother-in-law ears, but for that I needed Lillians as- sstance, and it was something which could be postponed to an- other day.

THE STORY so FAR;

May Seymour. whose husband killed himself because Of her love affair with another man, returns to her home town after years ab- sence. She sells her property, and with her tiny fortune in cash, sets out to find and marry man with money.
 At Atlantic City she meets Her bert Waterbury and Dan Sprague through a divorcee, Carlotta Frol- king. Both men pay suit 10 May, greatly to the distress of Carlotta who has long been in love with Dan. She and May become great friends, however, and Carlotta asks May to spend the winter with her in her California home,
 May finds Dan much more at tractive than Waterbury, But she decides that Waterbury is the rich husband she Is looking for, So she sets her cap for him. He finally proposes and May accepts him. When he offers to invest her money for her she turns 1t all over to him. Almost immediately he disappears and the money with him.
 Penniless, May sells her furs and diamonds to buy a railroad ticket to California, where Carlotta lives. On the way she stops off in her home town to see her friends, Dick Gregory and Gloria, his wife. There she meets a widower, Ulysses For gan, who falls in love with her at first sight and asks her to marry him. But May refuses him in spite of his wealth for the reason that she likes him too well ,v marry him without love,
 On the train bound for Los AL tcs, she meets Dan sprague. Not knowing that she has lost all her money, Dan makes love to her. But May is interested in the proposal of a movie magnate, Lemuel Fisn- back. to give her a part in a new film of his; and she leaves Dan to the tender mercies of Goldie Gay, would-be film actress.

low iyy-hung balconies to serenade their sweethearts, Today knights of the whisky flask and the Ford car honked their horns loudly to call their "cutles" forth to drive to the nearest cabaret.
 Love. these days, thought May, was farce,
 Then a sudden memory flashed across her mind. Hadn't she, her self, made a farce of love when she had promised to marry Herbert Waterbury because she thought he was richr Hadn't she, her self, been only looking for a cheap little thrill when she had let young Jack Darnley kiss her under the stars of Atlantic City? Of course, she had!
 So. who was she to sit in judg- ment on Dan Sprague?
 He was only doing what men had done since the beginning of time kissed and ridden away. It " dS III lIS lldbult ul liEti lc uO that careless brutes that they were,
 At that instant Dan raised his eyes and saw her watching him. Without any show of shame or sur prise. he flashed his ivory smile at her, quite as If 1t were the most ordinary thing in the world to be caught kissing 9 blondined move actress whom you had just met.
 Then he showed Goldie gently out of his arms, said something to her out of the corner of his mouth, and came toward May, smiling his en- gazing smile as he came.
 Were you looking for me?' he asked cheerfully, as lie straighten- ed his rumpled necktie.
 "Why, yes, I was" May answer ed, and her I-should-worry smile was every bit as radiant as his own
 T was looking for you to tell you I've been thinking over your offer of marriage" she went on, "and I've decided I don't want you ! Wouldn't have you for a gift. Toe bad isn't it?" She laughed aloud a little devil of malice in her eyes

 May said nothing, only shrugged her expressive shoulders.
 How do you happen to be going to see her? You said you were go- Ing to spend the winter In Europe" Dan asked then. And If you have all the money you're supposed to have, how does 1t happen you're around begging Lemue Fishback for job in the movies? You must know it's rotten job"
 q haven't any money" Mays lips ourled little, Your friend. Mir. Waterbury. saw to it that [ haven't cent left in the world, As you probably know
 "Why do you say that l probably know about it"" Dan asked. I've told you don't hear from Water bury"
 And I'm telling ycu that know you do'" May said sharply, Car. lotta told me that you and he are both crooks that you work to- gether 10 fleece people, And anyway, l know, myself that you're crooked without her telling mel"
 Her pupils dilated with anger and her eyes met Dan Spragne's with out a sign Of fear,
 "1 know youre crooked about money because you're not, on the square with vomen," she said slow ly. Ni;h ice in her voice, i've never known man who was crooked with women who was on the level with men,
 For instance, you ought to marry Carlotta. But you don't, In- stead you ask mo to marry you be- cause you think l have lot Of money. But in the meantime, you cant keep your hands off any woman who happens to be around - this little movie actress, for in" 1 stance! There's not h ing straight or honest about you,"

You naught may ever hope to gain By grumbling at the falling rain.
 Old Mother Nature.
 It was raining. It had been rain ing all day. It had rained all the day before and the day before that. Of course 1t didn't rain every min ute of all that time, but there wasn't a minute when it wasn't either raining or promising to rain. Peter Rabbit didn't like 1t. No, sir, he didn't like it. It had kept him at home In the dear old Briarpatch. He didn't like so much wetness. Much of the time he spent in 8 hole in the ground in the middle of the dear old Briarpatch. It had once been the home of Johnny Chuck's grandfather. In there Peter and Mrs. Peter were at least dry.
 Now the rain made no real diff ference to Peter, excepting that 1t kept him at home, Privately little Mrs. Peter thought this good thing. She hoped it would keep on raining. It didn't begin to make as much difference to Peter as it did to some other little folk, Of course, there were some who rejoiced in the rain. Jerry Muskrat, Billy Mink, Little Joe Otter, Spotty the Turtle, Grandfather Frog, Paddy tn e | Beaver, Mir. and Mrs. Quack, and few others who delight in water enjoyed the rain, Their waterproof coats couldn't be wet through. Be- sides, this water that fell from the | clouds washed a great deal of food into the Smiling Pool and the Laughing Brook for some of them. But there were others, whose coats were not so waterproof, like Happy Jack Squirrel and Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and Striped Chip nunk. and Timmy the Flying Squirrel. and Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, and Reddy Fox and Johnny Chuck. And so they did not enjoy | the rain.
 Never have I seen such weath- er," grumbled Peter in the middle of the afternoon, as he poked hls head out of the dear old Briarpatch for a look around. It had stopped raining, but it looked as if it might rain again any minute. I should think Old Mother Nature was try ing to drown some of us out. Good ness, l would like 10 know what real hot sunshine feels like. Being

Letter From Mrs, Joseph Crave
 Hamilton to Leslie Prescott

Hamilton 10 lHSlle IrtstotI My dear daughter:
 There was short paragraph In the London paper this morning to he effect that someone had been breaking into your house again. l am very much worried. do wish that other man could be captured. I'm afraid something is going 10 happen. I would even be more com fortable if l thought he had the old pearls.
 Poor Karl always gets nearly be- side himself when anything is said about them, for he seems to feel that he Is to blame for the whole thing not only your having the pearls, but Alice's death. l was awfully sorry he saw this paragraph in the paper, for he had been more like himself lately than I have known him since Alice's death. This news item, how ever, has sent him back into melan- cholia again.
 up to date ve have been having such a wonderful time. As you see hy this letter, we are lack in Eng land. We came back 10 stay for a couple of weeks at Betty Stokely's house party. You remember she was poor Alice's best friend, and both Alice and Kari stayed with her be- fore they were married. She mar ried one of the Carnovans. and an. nexed 8 wonderful country estate as well as title. Karl and I have been staying with her for tho last ten days. and she wants us to stay until the end of tho month.
 Betty's younger sister has groNr up and is lovely girl. She is also staying here.
 Between us, my dear, I think th' stokelys and the Carnovans " ould like to make match between Mary and Karl. Karl likes her very much They have many tastes in common do wish he would fall in love witt her, for he has been so unfortunatc in his heart affairs. would like tc have him have great love before
