His laughter was deliberately in-

Carroll sneered. You see, my

to Madge. it was as though there
had never been any love. There
had never been any tenderness,
and most certainly there had
never been any trust between
them.
Her anger was so cold and just
that it had almost ceased to be
rage, and when she spoke 1t was
more in the frigid tones of judge
pronouncing sentence.
''It is useless, Carroll" she said
slowly, for me to tell you just
what sort of cad you are. In
your heart you know it. AS for
me, I thank God that I found
you out before it was too late.
Don't feel sorry for me, Carroll,
because I have suffered all the
pain I am going to know. I have
no words to tell you how COM

you are is enough"
He did not reply, but seeing
that he had lost her, and hoping
to win her back by the lure Of his
kisses, fOrcibly he caught her in

Madge, blinded by sheer fury, ran
from the studio and out through
the door. Blindly she entered the
elevator and descended to the
street.

Madge stepped from the curb,

ingness arose and enveloped her.
This state passed into dreams
dreams of Carroll. And Madge
was stabbing at him with the
stiletto as he sat on the front
bumper Of a car. This changed
into the oil sketch of herself, and
curiously she felt pan in her head
each time that she cut at the can
vas. Then she was flying with
Carroll, and something went
wror.. with the plane so that it
plunged downwards in. sickengly
swift circles.
Quite as suddenly there came
consciousness, and with it there
came another stab OF pain. A
sense OF loss. She had lost Carroll,
so nothing mattered very much.
Her hand went to her head-to
touch bandAge. Then she re-
membered. The car that had come
rushing at her.
Madge's first reaction was Who'll

Madge would not hear him,
and as she continued her TRADE,
Mr.. Stewart, pleading an engage
ment, fled from her wrath and
from the apartment.
Left alone in the studio, Madge
longed for Carroll to arrive
quickly. She wanted him for
vengeance then with greater poig.
nancy than ever she wanted him
when love made her hunger for
the violent thrills he aroused.
"Oh, let him come" she ragged.
LET him come soon."
And suddenly he was there,
framed in the doorway. He had
met Stewart as he came into
the building, and by his express
sion Madge knew that he was
aware Of the revelation of his per.
fidy. She did not know that he
was still slightly intoxicated from
the debauchery OF the night be-
fore, but he swayed slightly as
he advanced toward her.
"And what's all the trouble
with my darling?" he attempted
loosely.
Madge regarded him in stony
silence.

And although Madge insisted
that she had had enough sleep. she
did grow drowsy again, and
through the rest Of the day slept

very much like q long and un-

ened early the following morning
and the motherIy nurse had
washed her did she have q com

they were.
Having had her breakfast, and
feeling ever 80 much better, Madge
was permitted to sit propped up
with pillows. She noted that the
room was good one. with its own
private bath, and she began to
worry how it would be paid for.
Her thoughts were interrupted
by the nurse who entered laden
with cardboard boxes, the sort
sent out by ultra-chic stores.
"All for you. my dear. the
nurse said. 'sAnd IL know any.

admitted 1t to herself for anything,

the nurse opened those fascinat-

+But who-whO sent all these?''
she asked, bewildered, as the first
box disclosed masses and masses Of
dewy vioIets.

ply.
Madge was intently watching
the nurse remove the covers from
the other boxes.
NegIigees! What negligees!

nighties, bewildering in their
beauty and flower-like delicacy--

regarding all this luxury with
round-eyed amazement, when her
father entered the room.

Later, trim and neat in her fIv-

in the cockpit of the glisteninge
new ship which the mechanics
rolled out on the wet grass. A
2 summer shower had made the
air deliciously fresh.
Then, as the plane zoomed up-
ward, Madge's lips parted in a
smile as she noticed the forming
. arc Of rainbow across their path
Through the skies. And as the
plane darted toward this beauty
OF the heavens, Madge wondered
idly: "Shal I ever reach the
ratnbow?" She did not reach it
that day, for it danced ahead of
them until Carroll landed her at
= the Huttons' place, allowed him
one kiss before he started his re-
: turn flight.
But three mornings later, Madge
arrived back in New York by
train. She had been unable to
really aid her father: His money
worries had depressed her, and it
had been difficult to be secretiye
with him upon the subject nearest
her heart. And how could she
have told him about Carroll.
Madge argued, considering that he
was not free to marry her?
But, above all else, had Madge

known that it was nothing but
stark, human jealousy that had
caused her to take the early morn
ing train back to New York and
to Carroll.
Had he sought feminine solace
from his loneliness? What fool
she had been to leave him!
At last she reached the studio,
and her heart was pounding.
Hardy opened the door. "Good
morning miss" he greeted her.
''Mr. Dudley is out, but / expect
! him back soon, Will you go into
the studio, miss? There is a gen.
tleman there, Mr.. Stewart, who

Madge was disappointed. She
had so hoped Carroll would be
there to greet her.

standing near the north windows,
admiring q picture.
He turned as Madge entered.
