THIS is WHAT HAPPENED

SYBlL HORNE, VINO knows
a good dael about men, meets
RICHARD EUSTIS, an aston
ishine person, who proceeds to
make immediate and passionate
love. They are on their way to
Cuba, where Sybil has planned
to mediate concerning her prob
lematicaI marriage with CRAIG
NEWHALL.
Craig is very much in love
with her and possesses all the
qualifications of an ideal hus-
band, but Sybil has been haunt
ed for years by the specter of
her first young JOHN
LAWRENCE, whom she adored
when she was 18, went to France
with the A &. F. and re-
turned. Since then SybiI has
sought to forget her heartbreak
through various light affairs and
countless indiscretions.
Following the death of her ia
father and the marriage of
her brother TAD to VALERIE
WEST "a frivolous creature, Sy-
bill sails for Havana with
MABEL BLAKE, a good-natured
young woman, who is determin-
ed to get married. 1t was Mabel
who saw Eustis first and looked
upon him Ionginely, but Eustis
has never seen anyone but
Sybil.
The first night they r to-
gether he tells her that he is
crazy about her and proposes to
make her love him. He kisses
her and she promises to meet
him every night on deck. Fear
fully excited and a little fright
ened, she awaits developments.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIII
Next morning Richard Eustis
breakfasted in the saloon, and
that day he began his conquest
Of sybil.
Morning, noon and night"
complained Mabel, two days later.
"And he won't give me a second!"
Mabel became a social creature.
She chartered with Father Finn
and the minister. She studied
Spanish with the Corrales and
knit a baby jacket for Mrs. Per
kins. She sympathized with the
Joneses in all their troubles, and
listened patiently to the lady from
Wellesley.
Anything" she explained, ito
get away from Arnold. | wouldn't
marry him, Sib, if he was the last
man on earth-and happened to
ask me. Now you know how I
hate him"
Il suppose" hazarded Sybil, IF
he hadn't grabbed you off that
first evening Rich would never
have fallen to my lot"
You never can tell. Anyhow,
I'll never forgive him for it,"
EUSTIS was making frantic
love to Sybil, and everyone aboard
was watching the progress of the
affair with the avid interest of
people who have nothing else to
do.
Don't think" besought, Mabel,
that it's just q case of sour
grapes-but, honestly. Sib. think
you'd be an awful chump if you
threw Craig over"
who said I was going to?
Anyhow, you thought Rich was
pretty special yourself"
81 know l did, dear. And I do
think he's absolutely fascinating.
But he hasn't Craig's stability,
Sybil. He's a sort of drifter. oh,
please don't misunderstood me,
honey. l. think as a lover he's a
perfect knockout. But as a nus
band-well, YOU know yourself,
Sybil, how perfectly wonderful
Craig would be. Do you think
Richard would be as dependable?"
IF you think Craig's so wonder
full why don't you try and get him
%yourself?"
Mabel flushed darkly and in
stantly Sybil was contrite.
ooh, Nab. didn't mean that.
Please forgive me. You're not
angry, Mab?"
Eyes, I am. I'm darn good and
sore. But you needn't worry. ]
III mind my own business after
this"
Mabel picked up a book and
stalked from their stateroom in
outraged dignity.
There's one thing certain" she
reflected grimly, I'm in for a i
devil of a trip Serves me right. {
running around with fappers. A {
love-sick kid on my hands-God Y
help mel"
EUSTIS knocked on Sybirs
door. Come i'm she called. And t
when he onened the door well. +
if it isn't Gods little gift to WON
en-! And how's my blue-eyed I
babv this morning." v
"Sybil, be serious. Where's
Mab?" l.
