of Aunt Louise's many millions, the
little, little sum that Patricia need
ed for absolute happiness never had
been set aside! And now Sidney
was going again
II believe I'll put my pride in
my pocket" Patricia decided, hero
ically, land go to Aunt Louise!" She
had a discouraging vision of herself
cacklingly referred to as Chaddy,
but she suppressed it. "I'l ask her
for a lump sum-" Patricia thought.
I'll go east with Helen and Sid,
and I'll drop out of Deerbridge for
ever! I'll ask for twenty-for twen-
ty-five thousand dollars!"
Twenty-Five thousand dollars! The
words touched a reminiscent note
somewhere. For a second Patricia's
thoughts paused, and when they
went on it was in a new direction.
She need not humble and hurt
herself. The Palmer girl must sure
ly marry some one, properly handled.
Her mother and her brother would
not be too hard to suit. Without
Patricia she was helpless; Patricia
had seen other unWelcome new
corners cruelty snubbed by Deer
bridge society.
But with Patricia it was to be
expected that some preSentable
youth must be susceptible to the
youth and comeliness and millions
of the heiress of the Sensatone
PaImers. Indeed Patricia, who had
no illusions as to the youths of her
acquaintance, could think of at least
three collegians who would be quite
frankly affected by the thought OF
such financial -eminence.
Her family, of course, would rage.
That is, it would rage when it fully
realized her iniquity. But by that
time she and Sidney would be
married, and meanwhile it would be
rather refreshing to iafuriate the
family, to make them pay, in a
slightly inverted sense, for the
honor of the name. They had
dragged Patricia up to their stand
ard; she would draw them down to
hers.
There was a sort of justice in 1t
that amused her. She knew that
she could do it.
A rare dinple deepened in Pa
tricia'S cheek. She presently got
down from her trunk and descended
three flights of stairs to the tele-
phone, Just outside the dining room
door. She was still smiling as she
called the Castle.
Amt you going to nave any
dinner?" said fellow boarder ten
minutes later, when Patricia slow
ly remounted the stairs.
Patricia gave her an absent look
in reply. The taste of red pot
tage was bitter in her mouth.
A FTER all, it was not entirely
N the Palmers' plebeian dollars
that confirmed Patricia in her mad
decision to defy the family. Indeed,
the sensations she experienced after
she had had a second talk with
Dan and his mother and after she
had received a clean little new yell

deposit duly entered in pale green

givings beset her then, and for the
first time in all her proud life she
felt a touch of shame.

The time came, three years ago
now, when he must go to Paris. and
for two years Farchester heard only
echoes Of his success.
And then he came back, and
Patricia began to taste the reward
of he faith and her waiting. Only
these Two knew the Joy of their re-
newed friendship, the exquisite
hours Of music, of talk and of
silence that they shared.
Still preserving their secret, they
began confidently to plan for the
near future when Sidney should
have just trifie more assured work
ahead and when Patricia should
come to share the big studio with
him and step with him into the
world CT struggling, achieving and
struggling anew for which she so
longed.

IA Helena, and Helena'S problem.
Sidney was rare; Helena was COM
monplace. Sidney was generous;
Helena was narrow and Jealous.
Sidney helped all the world;
Helena would not even help her
self. Tt was a deadlock. For two
months the situation had been
growing daily less and less endur-
able for them all.
They talked Of Helena now and
again, as they walked.
Helena, it appeared. was IN touch
now with old friends who were
shortly to play a vaudeville engage
ment in Farchester, and they were
anxious to have her take a small
part with them when they returned
to New York for the season. One

THE question that Sidney and

for days was whether it would not

himself and Helena and then to

 Rains Hard in Stockholm
 "You talk about rain in Alaska It does rain there sometimes, too. But July II, it rained more in two hours in Stockholm than it rains in two months in Alaska. Stock holm's streets were from twelve to sixteen inches under water. No side walks were visible. Cellars were flooded. It was thunderstorm with a regular cloudburst. Until then, however, the summer had been unusually warm and dry. One kind of commodity is cheap. It IS berries.
