wind"
She shrugged her shoulders and
fluttered her fingers.
"Just like that" she murmured.
In her secret heart Sybil had
made a VOW. She would never,
she swore, tell another man she
loved him. Because that, she be-
lieved, would be betraying John.
After his death she had tried to

had given herself up to Craig's
careSseS.
Its plain as A, B, c." she told
her brother. Emotions and love
are as far apart as the poles.
Because 1 like to pet with Craig
is no sign that l love him.
Once a girl wouldn't let a man
kiss her until he'd sworn undying
devotion and all that sort of thing.
If she was sure he respected her,
she'd stand a little petting. If she
got a hollow feeling in the
stomach, she'd think she was in
love. Then they'd get married.

ing matters very much now. It's
a crazy old world, Tad. Remem-
Der how we used to talk about
ideals and glory after the war?
Wasn't it bunkumi Everything
seemed SO sort of exalted then.
Now nothing counts but just
money and good times. There
were some lines in that poem you
gave me:
"They crowded all their youth into
a hour,
And for n feeting dream of right
they died. | used to think
that was glorious. 1t thrilled me
that John had died for a dream.
1t was so splendid. SO romantic.
But pretty soon people stopped
caring. 1t didn't make any differ
ence-all the boys that died.
Everybody forgot. They laughed.
and joked, and only remembered
on holidays when they waved
flags, and made speeches and got
drunk"
Bright spots burned on SYPHILIS
cheeks.
"It makes me so damn madi"
she cried, and clinched her small
brown hands.

I'm not bitter about it any more.
It's better, perhaps-the way it is.
I'm not rebellious now. Nor an

life, Sis. OF course you want to
marry. Every woman does"
Sybil drew herself up, and lock
ing her arms about her brown
legs. rested her chin on her
knees.
Being in love-" she pronounced
solemnly, Changes everything.
Because l loved John I can't love
Craig-or anyone else. l think
that must be the price a woman
has to pay. One perfect love
and when it perishes life is sort of
over. l read something once:
And the price Of love is this
A crown of thorns for thy head,
And vinegar to thy kiss j..
That's the way it's been. I low
ed John so fearfully, and I was so
happy. Then he died-and I had
to pay for all we'd had. There's
not much use talking. I can't
make things very clear. I wish 1
could make you understandable
there it is. DO you understand,
Tad?"
Tad ran his hand through his
rumpled hair.
"Tll be darned if I do" he con-
fessed, and pulled a strand,
bleached like molasses candy,
down between his eyees. You're
too darn analytical, and you don't
know what it's all about. When
you start %dissecting life and love,
and all that sort of thing, you're
getting in over your head. And
you know, Sib, it's sort of cuckoo
to talk about love as if there was
a price tag on it. "Thorns and
vinegar!' Suffering catfish"
"Oh, I'm not complaining" she
interrupted serenely. I'm glad
it's that way. It would be a mil
lion times worse if life could go
on just the same, with John out of
1t all. I'm not posing as a TRACE
dtenne, or anything like that.
And I'm not a martyr to love. I've
had a lot OF good times since my
poor old heart broke. And III

That's why I can play around with

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER II

OA1[l1 LIN IL
Tad and Sybil were on the
beach at Craigville, lying side by
side under an orange umbrella
that looked like a sunf1ower
blooming on the oceans brink.
Sybil sifted sand through the
tunnels Of her palms, making little
mounds like ant hills on the scar
let jersey of her swimming suit,
and meditated languidly on the
events of the summer.
From the beginning Craig New
hall had been in love with her.
At first he had been a bit hard to

fiercely he had whispered it-a
command against the soft
ness of her hair.

with him." Sybil defended her
self stiffly.
"And I've noticed" she observ-
ed, that when a mans getting
what he wants, he's not particu-
larly interested in it's why or
wherefor."
But she remembered a night on
the shores of Lake Waban, all
silvery and bewitching in the
moonlight. The night Craig kiss
ed her for the first time. They
had driven to the waters edge
and left the car, and gone and sat
on the trunk of a fallen birch that
lay like a lanky tree-ghost, all
white and slender on the ground.
That was when she said, Don't
ever get me wrong, Craig. It's
only playing"
And she put back her head for
his kiss on her lips. She remem-
bered how he had drawn away
and how she clasped her arms
about his neck and whispered,
isn't half a loaf better than no
bread?" Then he had crushed her
to him with a smothered sort of
groan, and his kisses were hot and
merciless.
She stirred restlessly. And
then, rolling over on her side,
looked Tad cody in the eyes.

be an egg and all that, but I'm

one"

Tad, but I guess it's only in books
that people die of broken hearts.
I wanted grief to kill mel really
did. That was childish, wasn't
it? And, instead, it only sort of
smothered all the good that was
in me.
"There wasn't much religion for
our generation, you know. I said
all my prayers during the war;
and when it was over and they
hadn't any of them been answered,
I hadn't any more prayers left.

and faith was the loveliest thing
on earth. When it persisted we
substituted reason. And reason is
so unsatisfactory. 1t gets you aw-
fully muddled. Now | think
there isn't any absolute wrong.
No real signs. Only ever so many
wild, foolish things-'gestures' the
psychoanalysts call them"
With a sudden change of spirit
she giggled.
I'm not SHINING, Tad. I'm only
gesticulating."
But Tad was very sober and
spoke like a patriarch.

FARLEY SEEN ON
FREEDOM OF SEAS

WASHINGTON, March 25.-CP)-
Official and diplomatic circles here
expect the continued agitation, both
in the United States and abroad,
over the question Of the freedom Of
the seas will bring about some
formal consideration of the subject
before the end of the year.
The declaration last week by
Ramsay Macdonald, prime minister
Of Great Britain in the labor gov
eminent of 1924. that Great Britain
must agree with the United States
on a sea policy. is looked upon here
as important. Macdonald said the
United States and Great Britain
must agree on the freedom of the
seas as the only basis Of complete
friendship between the two coun-
tries.
With the possibility Of the con-
sentative government Of Prime
minister Baldwin not being returned
to power and the possibility that the
age-old policy Of British mastery OF
the seas may be changed by another
government. it is considered likely
the question will be held in abey-
ance until after the general cleo
tons in England two months from
now.
Sir Austen Chamberlain. the Brit
ish foreign secretary. has indicated
on several occasions the foreign Of
flee was consulting with the British
dominions on questions relating tc
the Anglo-American affairs. While
the nature of these negotiations has
never been revealed a belief IS an
parent here that they are along the
lines Of freedom of the seas and the
closely linked questions of empire
defense
