she knew that no man could
be true to a woman who has
been tied to a wheel chair

Big Tim was taken aback
by her sudden onslaught of

It annoyed Maisie; she even
came to believe that Mouse
had made up all that stuff
about Bills remarks. Ii he
thought she was so wonder
full why didn I. he show her
some attention?
And then there came an
other dance at the country
club and Maisie sitting on
'ethe dark verandah happened
to oNerhear Mouse and Bill
talking. What she heard
wasn't as connected as it
might have been, for they
spoke in low tones, but she
distinctly heard Bill say he
was all ready to elope and
she distinctly heard Mouse
reply. ''as well now as
ever"
Bills voice came to her:
"See you at 9 then in my
car-I'll be there. =
They moved away; Maisie
heard them laughing. And
all at once she felt a deep
resentment. Here she was
allowing Mouse to steal the
very man who had offered
his heart to her.
And now when she was on
the point of losing him she
realized that she loved him
after all. She walked dis
consolately back to the club
house and spent an unhappy
half hour looking at the
clock. Then she slipped out
into the darkness. &
The next morning the
papers carried the announce
ment of Maisie s wedding to
Bill Matthews with a roman
tic little account of their
elopement from the country
club.
Mouse called Bill up to
congratulate him. "You
see, T" she said, "I was right
that was the only way to
win her-of course we took
a chance talking that elope-
ment stuff. when we saw her
come out on the verandah-
but it worked but NUNS

day."
"I1l say NUNS the

TOdaV's True
Story

kkT BELdEyE in taking
chances was the
way Maisie Temple
flung her youthful defiance
to the world. And because
she was good to look at and
possessed that indefinable,
something characterized by
the envious as 1t, " she got
away with her challenge
that is until she met Bill
Matthews.
Bill was a mild young
man who worked hard for a
living, but who had definite
ideas about everything and
very definite ideas about
Maisie.
She put him down in her.
category of possibilities and
f'Iirted with him just as she
did with half dozen other
presentable males.
The only difference was
that Bill took it seriously.
He was making. a hundred
a week; he was lonely; he
was in love with Maisie, and
he made up his mind to ask
her to accept his heart and
his pocketbook for now and
forever.
It was at q country-club
dance that he got his chance; ;
there was just the right kind
of a moon, just the right
touch to the air, and Maisie
had never looked so be-
witching.
After a dance they
wandered out to the we
randall and Bill, solicitously,
escorted her to a chair.
When he had established
himself beside her, he made
bold to reach over and take
one of her hands. She made
no protest. Many men had
done. that. Nor was she
quite unprepared for what
followed.

Carlos we expect him and

Don Carlos and Eugene
had promised to stand up
with them. Selma and Ruth
knew of the turn their
friendship had taken; they
had taken them into their
heart.
"You're an old peach,
mother. / don't know why
any one as good as you are
should be forced to spend a
lifetime in a wheel chair.

band. / never did LIKE
bacon, anyway.
Ruth tripped gaily down
the garden path, exactly as
she had done in all those
months when her father had
been listening. Only, today,
she sang because her own
heart was light. Life was
before her.
The marriage was over.
Ruth had returned to the
family home and the days
would pass by as though
nothing out of the ordinary
had happened.
II hope, AL dear, " she
had murmured whimsically
to him, tthat when you get
an office of your own you
won't find marriage such a
heavy burden that you I'll
have to have an attractive
red-headed nurse. "
Why pick on the red
heads 2" he had teased her.
Because all of the vamps
from Cleopatra to Helen Of
Troy were red-heads. Men
have passion for them. And
don't want to lose you to
one of them. =
Love-and learn" he
had retorted. "It's the first
time / knew that Helen of

Bills face was the color
of the moonlight, but Maisie
didn't notice, and then
someone called and she rose
and went inside.
He sat where he was
thinking hard. but, when he,
too, rejoined the dancers, he
seemed in no way cast down
by Maisie s refusal.
In fact, he appeared SO
much gayer than his usual
self that the girl was rather
puzzled. It didn't seem pos
sible that a scorned sweet
heart could take dismissal so
easily.

head Of hers She spoke
very great truths in her own
decided manner.
