thoughts while she is loving him?"
Violetta considered. well, when
I'm in love there isn't anything
else in my mind at all, she said.
Bruce was staring at her fixedly.
Her eyes were large and childlike.
Suddenly he crossed the room and
leaned over her.
Before she could guess what he
intended to do he had kissed her and
abruptly gone away.

from Mrs. Stacy. She told me to
ask you to call her this morning.
she wants to give out an announce
ment about the Vale Acres business.
They say she is going to put a
great deal of money into it."
Good for Lydia" said McDer
mott. "Just sit down while l call
her.
Then I'll hand her over to you
and you can take the story
McDermott GREETED Mrs. Stacy over
the telephone. Barbara watched
him. He listened patiently for many
moments. his face growing more and
more puzzled.
At last he put up the receiver and
turned to Barbara. That's queer,
he said. 1.-The lady is cool as ice this
morning. Says she has changed her
mind about the announcement-in
fact, about the investment itself"
Barbara, turned togo. What shall
1 do about the story?" she asked.
McDermott lifted his head from
his paper. why, If she isn't going
to invest, we can't say she is, OF
course. But about the party and
Gignenlli-give that what it's
WORTH"
Barbara went back to the main Of

against her desk.
He burst into talk. This is the
first time I've had the nerve to come
and see you. l know you'll never
have any use for me after the Light
house escapade. But l had to come
and say was sorry. anyhow"
That's all right, Sinbad," replied

might be able to help you q lot. All
my loose money lying around might
make the whole difference between
success and failure for Vale Acres.
But of course don't want to NEEDLE
where I'm not really wanted.
Bruce fidgeted. "Of course I like
you, Lydia" he said, land Iappre-
ciate your help and interest. But 1
must say that hope you will not in
vest one cent in Vale Acres that you
would not invest If friendship were
LETT out Of the question"
Lydia rose impetuously. She stood
by the Chinese lamp, twisting its
ivory drop between her fingers.
The ivory spindle snapped in two.
She let the pieces drop from her fin
gers. When Bruce looked up, she
was standing close beside him. Good
night" she said.
AS he passed through the door, he
turned and looked at her.
Good night" he said again.
"Good-by." Bruce rallied a faint
smile. "Only au revoir, Lydia" he
said, with a hint of fatigue in his
voice.
She merely smiled.
Miss Cranby's door stood open as
he passed through the boarding
house hall half hour later She
called to him to enter.
He found her seated on the floor,
working with rickety spirit lamp.
"Why. Violetta," he said, what
are you doing?"

swered gayly. Thought you might
like to drink one with me-"
Bruce frowned. But Violetta went
rafting on. Most of our little talk
tests come after midnight. don't
they?" She turned and faced him.
Say, now what's the matter? You
look as white as ghost? Has she
done you wrong again?"
mo, there's nobody to blame, Vio-
ietta. I'm just a. bungler with wom-

only smiled.
Later in the day she took the red
scarf from the lower desk drawer
and wrapped it carefully in paper.
When she went home that night, the
parcel was in her coat pocket.
ri HE days that followed Lydia's
party brought a furry OF
IL work to the Telegraph office.
Barbara came into the editorial
room one stormy afternoon to find
McDermott waiting for her. Come
into my office, Miss Hawley," he
said.
I'm going to give you the special
Christmas page for women" he told
her. 'See what you can do to make
it ttractive-madonna stuff. Yule-
tide cheer and all that. And maybe
a picture of fat baby for the cen
terpiece. You know the sort of thing
women can't let alone"
Barbara looked up at him. THAT
depends, Mr. McDermott. There are
some women who would be no more
attracted by a fat and smiling baby
than by picture of a tractor. We're
not all the rank sentimentalists you
think u.s.
McDermott waved her views aside.
STUFF and NONSENSE" he said.
There's not a woman in the world
who won't stop and look at a picture
of a baby. The normal ones do it
openly, and the abnormal ones do it
when everybody's back is turned.
But they all do it. That's not SEN
timentality-it's biology"
Barbara was about to answer in
dignantly, but McDermott began to
discuss articles and type sizes for
the page. And suppose you look
out for some heart throb feature sto-
ries between now and Christmas"
he added. Get a lot of poor kiddy'
stuff and some mother love stories
and anything else calculated to pull
at the heart strings along this time
of year"
Barbara grimaced. Il, hate that
stuff"
Barbara made a helpless gesture
and walked to the door.
by the way, Barbara, how about
Jerome Ball? Are you seeing much
of him?" asked Bob, who was stand
ing by her desk.
"And why do you ask, Mr.. In
quisitor?"

weather.
Barbara made plunge for the
other side Of the street, and landed
on the curb just in time to be plenti-
fully splashed by a taxicacb that
tore past.
She cast a.rueful glance at her tan
silk stockings, streaked with mud.
Her umbrella was pouring jet OF

Barbara slipped the steaming choco-

was full Of women, mostly IN groups
OF, two or three, chatting over tho
tea cups.
They were pretty, well-groomed
women, having a good time in a
lazy. feminine way. Barbara caught
herself staring enviously at their
furs and their fresh faces. The mud
was soaking through her stockings

the plunge into the deluge. The clock
over the cashiers desk slipped
around to flve-hfteen. She rose and
paid her check.
The crowd on the sidewalks were
still greater than when she had en-.
tered. AS Barbara started for the
curb, a tall man with an umbrella
jostled against her. She stepped
back. He had girl on his arm.
Barbara glared after the two, rub
bling the elbow that the man had
bumped. They turned SO that both
their faces were visible. The man
was Bruce, and the girl was
shadowy-eyed creature who was
smiling up at him chiIdishly.
Barbara had never seen her face
before.

Dissension between the national
