and whispered to, the need to be
kept warm in the cold loneliness of
the world.
Her thoughts spun giddily in her
mind, air entangled with skein Of
romantic threads. She was young
and pretty and time was wasting
her flowerly graces. Some one
bloomed!
While she debated with herself, as
doubtless innumerable women have
plights, Claymore's own mind was
a chaos of equally ancient plaii-
tudes of a mans philosophy.

or the cruelty to slip his arm about
Mems waist and to draw her close
to him. He was almost more
alarmed than delighted to find that
she hardly resisted at all.
He took her hands in his and
whispered, "Your poor little hands
are cold!" -.
Then he kissed them with cold
lips that he lifted at once to hers
and found them warm and strangely
like rose against his mouth.
He was as much amazed as If
hers were the first lips he had ever
kissed-as if he had just invented
kissing. Then in frenzy Of won
der he closed her in his arms with
all his power. He did not know
that the wheel bruised her side, and
neither did she.
But she forgot to debate her duty
or to think Of her soul. She thought
only of the rapture Of this com
munion, and her arms stole around
his neck and she clenched him with
all the power of her arms.
Mem, swooning she knew not
whittier, was awakened from hei
mad rapture by low voice across
her shoulder.

had stopped and drawn close to the
cliffside in the dark, each car a
wheeled solitude, a love boat at
anchor in a stream of cars ignoring
and ignored. There was strange
Influence in this recurrent mystery.
Everywhere lovers were hiding
themselves in conspicuous conceal
ment. Mem felt disgust at the first
dozen, amusement or contempt for
the next fifty, tolerance for the
next, and
Claymore did not speak of them
or of anything else. He was too
busy twirling the wheel and gauging
: the little distances between the
edge of the cliff and the cars that
whizzed past.
Halfway up the canon his head
light ransacked a black cove and
found no motor in possession of the
estuary of night. And here, to
Mems dumb astonishment, he
abruptly checked his car, swung in
off the road against the wall of
rubble, and stopped short with a
| sigh of exaggerated fatigue.
"Well," he groaned, this is a
drive! I'll rest bit if you don't
mind. Pretty here, eh?"
| From their cavern of gloom they
looked across a fathomless ravine
to- a mountain on which the risen
moon poured a silent Niagara. In
the doing radiance a creamy shaft
of yucca stood, candle blown out
; in a deserted cathedral.
The night air was of strange
gentleness, and the cars that shot
| past threw no light into their
: retreat.
: There was a long, long silence
that filled Mem with terror she
7 could not quite fail to enjoy. She
2 could not tell whether she heard hel
S own heartbeats or his, but excite
e ment was athrob together in The
/ little coach that had brought then

= of what he would say, and to begin
to wish that he would get it said
d so that she could know what he
# answer would be.
e She felt battling uncertainty o
b herself. She could not imagin

o not had much experience of mer
If but enough to know that before loni

ir procedure that starts with an arr

d vent at any cost the proclamation c
a her sacred integrity. If necessary

Now Go On With the Story

He never said anything, how
ever, that he might not have said
before a crowd. He never tried to
hold her hand or snatch a kiss or
flch an embrace. Mem was con-
stantly set quivering with ex-
pectancy that he would make some
advance, some gesture of endear-
ment, yet always unable to decide
just, what she would do if he did.
But he didn't.
The picture and its NAL retatee
were finished on Saturday after
noon. There was an evenings idle
ness ahead. Claymore asked Mem
to take a drive in his car, a long
farewell flight about the familiar
and the unvisited roads. She ac-
cepted meekly. Something told her
that this drive was important to
her fate.
Something was always telling her
something. Nine times out OF ten
it was false, but she forgot the tail
ures and recalled the condolences.
Nobody had yet asked Mem for
her self-respect as an initiation tee
or an initiation rite. She was paid
weekly wage based upon her
ability, her experience, and her use
fulness. She was paid in coin OF
the realm.
Her price would rise and fall ac-
cording to the general market tor
moving pictures and her SPECIFIC
value. Her emotions and her beauty
were commodities, and Steddor
stock would be quoted on the Sou
Exchange as the demand for it rose
and fell, as the bidders for it IN
creased or diminished.
Claymore had been chaperoned By
the company and his own reverence
for discipline. But now she wa
outside his authority. Both wer'
outside the Bermond inclosure. Ant
they were as helpless together a
any other twain whom nothing re
stains or separates in the undertoV
OF passion. They were two emo
tional people without a barrier.
Among the countless things sal
about the hows and why's @
women's surrenders one motiv
seems to have been too muc
ignored, though it must have eX
erted vast influence as women G
more and more into the worlds c
business, of art, and of freedor
with only themselves for the1
guardians.
Good sportsmanship, hatre
of smuggery, a contempt tor to
careful self-protection. a DISCUS
for a hoiier-than-thou self-esteen-
these are amiable attitudes of min
that make for popularity. Toibe-
niser of ones graces. a hypochor
driacal coddler of ones virtues,
TO be unloved and movable.
So many a man will gambl
break a law, risk his career, h
health, his life, get drunk, stea
slay, and play the fool rather tha
face the reproach that he is
nloliycoddle, a Puritan, prig,
Miss Nancy, a coward, Pharisee
And many a woman who wou
not yield for love or luxury mu
have consented for fear of seen
ing to be overproud, stingy, col
prudish, disobeying, superhuma
subnorma1, unsportsnlanlike.
Mem had been swept once beyor
the moorings by summer storm
devotion to young Farnaby, h
first love. Now she was to feel h
anchors cut adrift by the gracio1
gesture of good fellowship with
colleague.

s.iair to her father.
The Rev. DR.. Steddon, clergyman of
kind heart but narrow mind who attributes
much of the evil of the world to the
"nnovies" and constantly inveighs against
them. Mem, her lover Elwood Farnaby
having died in an accident, at the advice
OF DR.. Bretherick, gives her bad cough as
an excuse to get to Arizona and from there
writes home that she has met and married
"Mr. Woodvilie," a wholly imaginary per-
son. Later she writes again to say that her

takes job as a domestic to avoid being a
burden on her parents. A fall prevents her
becoming a mother. In Arizona she had

the Hotel George V. headquarters Of the second Dawes committee, all yes terday afternoon that the Germans were preparing text of their reser- vations. It was even reported at one moment that the text had been delivered.
 In the evening some of the experts declared Dr. Hjalmar Schacht. chief German delegate, would bring for ward his reservations today. But the experts waited all this morning in vain. Dr. Schacht did not appear at the hotel. and at the headquarters of the German delegation, it was said the Germans had expressed themselves on Mir. Young's proposals just as the other experts had. They supposed that when all the delega- tions had taken their positions, some subcommittee would take up the matter which would then be thrash ed out in common.
 The barometer of the conference after many violent fluctuations indi cated stormy weather early this aft ernoon and the attitude of some of the delegations showed that trouble was apprehended. The calm of the British and the Americans was, however somewhat reassuring.
