CHAPTER NINETEEN

MADALYN was so daintily frail!
4V1 He could have crushed her
delicate little body with one twist
of his hands. But more intoxicat-
ing than this sense of physical SUI
periority was the subtle knowledge
that to her he was king.
Not the inexperienced boy he was
to "Lambie," nor the Willful,
rather pathetic figure he seemed to
be to Sally. Madalyn wor-
SHIPPED him. His mere companion
ship was boon. And she was good.
Hadn't she insisted, time after
time, that the liberties she per-
m!tted him we're exceptions grant,
ed because she loved him?
He was more inclined to believe
this now than he had been on that
first occasion. With an emotion
compounded of both passion and
pity, he drew her closer into his
arms.
you do like me, don't you?"
Like you2 Listen, honey, the
nights you don't come after me I'm
SO low I don't care whether I live
or die. The girls at the shop are
all kiddin' me about it. 1 can't even
look at anybody else"
'BUt Madalyn, I don't want you
to feel like that. I've told you be-
fore that I'll see you whenever I
can, but I've nothing to offer any
girl"
She kissed the tip of his nose.
"And I've told you that doesn't
matter. Just be sweet to me,
honey"
Their lips met. Her kiss went to
his head like wine. The moonless
night, the waves breaking on the
beach, the girl in his arms It
was all dream from which shortly
he must awaken.
"But oh, not yeti Not yeti" he
whispered.
Her face was warmly white
against his. Tears cleaned along
her eyelashes but her eyes were
closed. She trembled at the touch
of his hand.
"Howell-oh Howell, I love
you ="

He came upon huge panther pinned beneath

snarlng beast struggled anew to free himself.
The ape-nan stood before the helpless creature
and fitted an arrow to his bow. sudden whim

1t was too horrible to contemplate The filed

In q complete, miserable misun-
derStanding, they passed back down
the boulevard which had seemed so
bright an hour earlier. The sun had
disappeared.
Sally drew her coat closer about
her. She obviously was sorry for
him, but 1t wasn't the kind of SYM
pathy he wished. It Smacked too
much of pity. Pity. The last thing
in the world he wanted from any
one.
HOWELL'S dark eyes were stormy
l. l. with resentment. He made an
effort to speak of other things, but
it was with relief and the silent de-
termination not to see her again
that he opened Mrs. Benton's yell
low-painted door and said good-by.
All she did was upset and make
him unhappy.
A telephone call from a drug store
gave him the information that
Mrs. Granville Matthews was out
for the day. With anger and the
secret, sullen desire of hurting
sally. he made his way to the small
white house where Madalyn lived.
She might not be home. But II she
were
She was. She opened the door,
clad in a bright, pink apron.

Come in. I'm cleaning house"

him to a small, cheaply furnished
room. with a bed in it.
Father sleeps in here during the
day. I have a room Of my own"
where is your father now?"
''He got up about IL o'clock. He's
never here on Sunday"
Poor little kidd No wonder she
was so hungry for affection. She
evidently got none of it at home.
Madalyn Strengthened the covers
on the heavy, golden oak bed and
sighed
1--WE Just begged him to use a
day bed or a sanitary cot in here,
but ne won't do 1t. He says he
couldn't sleep on anything but this. 1"
With housewifely energy she
Siuffed up the pillows.
"Therel That's better. Want to
see my room, Howell? I've Just
cleaned It."
1t would have been less than
courteous TO have refused. He fol-
lowed her inside the dingy portiereS
and the pathetic gesture towards
beauty the room implied caught at
his heart.
Roses in the paper, rose colored
rugs. and roses In the bright colored

table and bed.

The bed was ,heaped with pillows
of every conceivable size and shape.
Sentimental, heart shaped pillows
of lace over pink, triangleS of pink
organdie, daintily embroidered
squares, and fat, round cushions Of
pink satin bursting with their cot
ton stuffing.
hEADALYN'S pride In these was
klS1 so obvious that he felt COM
&,elled to remark: They're certain
ly pretty. Did you make them all
by YOURSELF"
IT sure did. I love to sew. Not
clothes, but embroidery and things
like that
