stimulus to patriotic pride and their
high educational value.
"The President 5 Own will be
heard in the valley under the aus
pices of the Imperial Valley pageant
association, programs of splendid
quality being offered for both after
noon and evening concerts. 1t is
emphasized by the local manage
ment that the afternoon program

down the short flight of steps
that led to the vestibule with

"Good.by," Lovejoy answered
automatically and shut the

That was their farewell to

Lovejoy was talking to Steve
on the telephone when Tom

o'clock.
She heard his voice. But
she laid one hand over her

nothing but Steve's voice.

claimed, as her courage re-
turned. "Only sixteen and two

Van Dyke jumped with q sud-

Of this figure.

She looked UP. The tears
were all gone now and her eyes
were shining. She grew happier
as she spoke.
II like your fiance very much,

Now I've always wanted to take

blingly. "You-you really mean

bay out there afterward, so

Outside in the dark street an
automobile horn honked.
Here I got" Lovejoy cried,
glad to get away.
But at the door she turned
and took a thin packet Of
envelopes from her handbag.
She held them out to Aunt EN-.
"TheSe are some letters that
belong to Aline Anderson" she
said to her. You'll see that
they're addressed to me. But
they belong to her. Some man
UP In South Port writes to her
all the time. Please give the
letters to Tom and ask him to

Perhaps that would convince
Tom, at last, that the South

you. I'll never try to do any

For q few blissful moments
they sat there, clinging to each
other, eager to forget the mis-
understanding Of an hour be-
fore. They would never quarrel
again, they promised. Their
voices had dropped to @ con-
slant murmur Of II love you

it could be at this time Of
night?"
An utter stranger was revealed
when the door was opened. A
tall, good-looking man, Of con
siderable dignity. He seemed
worried.
He didn't look like the sort
Of man who would come burst
ing into a strangers house at
midnight. His whole manner
inspired confidence.
May speak to you q mo-
ment, Miss Parker, on q rather
important matter?"
Dulcy nodded, and let him
into the living-room. She felt
q sort Of namelesS dread clutch
ing at her heart, and she
drew close to Gordon, and
slipped her arm into his.
My name Is Patterson

Dulcy and Gordon nodded.
Everyone knew Of Blair Patter-
son, the attorney.
II was referred to you by one
Of your neighbors, Mrs. Ken
nedy. She said that you had
guests. / just wondered if
among them there was Mr..
Morgan"
Dulcy shook her head.
He asked If there was a Mr..
Ford, or q Mr.. Rockefeller,
or a Mr.. Vanderbilt there. Be-
wildered at first, Dulcy began
to be amused as he ratified
off the names Of most Of the
prominent financiers in the
country. He must be joking

to suggest that they would
be visiting her simple little
home.
But Patterson was very Sc
rious.

Before he had finished Dulcy
was nodding proudly.
"You must mean Schuyler

"Yes-yes, do mean Schuy-
Ter Van Dyke" Patterson began
slowly, weighing his wordsl as
though it were difficult for him
to go on.
I'm his cousin. And I've
come 1Or MIN.
Dulcy and Gordon were frank

to offend Blair Patterson, but

and announce that he was

For once Dulcy was speech
less. She could only twist her
handkerchief und an d
around in her hand and utter
cry Of anguish.
"If he is already asleep, It,
would be safer not to awaken
him." Patterson went on.
"And I will have to beg your
permission to stay here, some
where near his room, so that l
can watch him and see that he
doesn't elude me again"
Without look at Gordon,
duly, mechanically, she led

And, sitting there, she deliver
ed herself Of some things that
were on her mind.
IF you two people had just
stayed in that little house." she
said loudly, so that Lovejoy could
hear her in the next room.
there wouldn't have been all
this rowing and fussiY1g! You
wouldn't have spent all your
money on lot of liquor and
cards and limerick furniture!
It was getting in with all that
fly-by-night crowd that ruined
you both"
Lovejoy put her hands over
her ears. Aunt EN- had said
that q dozen times before, and
she was sick and tired Of listen
ing to it.
You were just like q lot Of
the people that made SOL much
money during the war a few
years back!" Aunt En- was say

from her ears.
They were making ten and
twelve dollars day in the fac
tories land spending it on silk
shirts, If you please! And silk
stockings, if you please! And
automobiles to ride themselves
around in--instead Of putting it
into the banks!"
Lovejoy got UP from the din

been sitting, and went into the
bathroom. She turned on the
water in the bathtub and
mercifully it shut out the sound
Of Aunt Ems voice saying harsh

softly, consolingly, what is the

the business deal with Gordon.
And now Gordon's mad and he

paused significantly, adopting

1t was all very well to say,
Lets forget the last two years"
But to do it was far different
thing.
You couldn't cut life in slices
the way you could cut q cake,
and say, There are two years
and here are two more"
Life wasn't like that. It was
all jurnbled together, and you
couldn't separate it into neat
bits any more than you could
cut syrup into slices. It was all
one.
There was the baby, for In
stance.
Lovejoy always knew that no
matter where she went or how
long she stayed the baby would
always be as much a part of
her as her own heart-beats. She
should put Tom aside, but she
could never put his baby out of
her life.

but Van Dyke disposed Of the
whole affair airily, as though
1t we're q trifle of no Importance.
I'm put up the necessary CAPT
tai, never fear" he said, as he
reached his door. GLAD to help
you in this little matter"
When Gordon pounded on
Forbes door a moment later, the
noise resounded through the
house, and Dulcy looked on from
below, delighted.

definitely called off our PROPOSE
tion?" Gordon asked grimly, as
Forbes came to the door, rub
bling his eyes sleepily.
well, perhaps not definitely"
Forbes hedged. but there will
be no 16 % per cent in it for
YOU" he added with the air Of
q man who has his enemy down
and is going to make him cry
for mercy.
You're all wrong about its
not being off," Gordon told him
belligerently. 1--WE decided that.
Schuyler Van Dyke Is going to
back me, and I'm going to give
you the fight OF your life because
you tried to take advantage of
me. You knew I was In q hole.
Well, we're going to dig q good
big one and put you in 1t now.
You're going to get a first-rate
licking"
Even when half asleep, and
after q day of constant annoy
ances, Forbes was not q man to
be intimidated. Definitely, he
dared Gordon to go ahead,
though the name Of Van Dyke
had noticeably impressed him.
But having shot his bolt, Cor
don had rushed downstairs
again, eager to clasp Dulcy in
his arms and beg her forgive
ness.
"Gordie, darling, you were
wonderful" she murmured, as
she buried her head on his
shoulder. You see, I am Of
some use after ALL"
Use! You were wonderful"

She had forgotten the long
hours when she had left him
with Hilda and with Norrie
Shane while she played bridge
or shopped or waited on dark
street corners for Steve Ogle-
bay.
IF anything happens to you
while I'm away, I'll Just die"
she went on talking to the
baby when she had brought
him his bottle.
But, Of course, nothing was
going to happen to him. Aunt
Ems apartment was the safest
thing in the whole world for
him, and Aunt EN- knew every
thing there was to know about
raising babies.
At that afternoon Tom
came to take the baby for q
ride.

sound that was half laughter,
half sob, as she said to him:

est woman in all the world.
You'll let me tell Gordon about
