TYSON.

Next morning she announced to her parents that she wished her marriage to be hurried forward. She was afraid of her own inde- cision. Forgetting Give wasn't easy. Her thoughts returned to him in every idle moment. Un- fortunately, loving Dicky was an effort. Through fear of what she might do if left to her own de- vices, she scarcely permitted him out of her sight.
 The quality which had recom- mended him had been his sporti- ness. She now cashed in on it to prevent herself from thinking From morning till past midnight she was with him in the high powered runabout which he drove so recklessly.
 She forced him to take her to night clubs. After giving a mystic signal, one burst from gloomy street into the glow of an Alad- din's cave. The life they led seemed chapter from the Arab ian Nights They had no leisure for conversation.
 Meanwhile her father, wishing to learn more about his future son-in-law, pursued enquiries. He discovered nothing to his discred- it, if nothing distinctly favorable.
 Dicky's pedigree at all events, was traceable. He derived from 2 race of spectators in Chicago, who in the second generation had quieted down to philanthropy and church going. Previously to that they'd cornered wheat, lard, rail- roads-there was precious little they hadn't cornered.
 Their women had specialized in European titles. Dicks father was worth several millions. Unfortu- nately, the father didn't approve of the son. Why was hidden in obscurity. Probably they were sympathetic. Probably they were not sympathetic. Most of Dicky's education had been obtained at foreign schools. Since becoming g man he'd lived chiely in France and Austria. Again the answer to wha was he doing there was blank. An inheritance from an aunt was his only visfO1e means of livelihood.
 From social point of view the wedding was a huge success. For weeks costly presents from emil nent persons had been arriving The news leaked out via the press, that the best man was worth twelve millions. To have multi millionaire for a best man, Dicky also must have money.
 The first night of the honey moon was spent in New York. Be- fore sailing for Havana, Santa telephoned her parents that she'd married the finest and most con- siderate of husbands.
 At the start of the voyage she was too seasick to enquire or care what he was doing. On the third day, when she became convales- cent, she discovered that he'd been grabbed by a bunch of poker play CTS. Late that night, since he had not come to bed, she dressed and went to the smoking room to re- claim him.
 She was greeted with loud shouts Here comes the bride"
 When she tried to coax him from his chair he showed temper. Lat CT, when she was sleeping sound ly in her berth, she was reused by clumsy movements. Hot hands ca ressed her.
 You there, Lou-Lou?"
 In panic she switched on the light.
 Dicky blinked his surprise.
 Not Lou-Lou" He was half seas over. Gee, you must be the gal I married"
 At breakfast next morning his attitude was repentart. He wasn't certain what had been his con- duct.
 Hope I didn't disturb you" He introduced the subject. To tell the truth, I drank too much last night"
 Who's Lou-Lou?" she asked quietly.
 How should I know, darling? I expect she's a name you've in- vented"
 She isn't" Santa shook her curly head. She's a woman whom you loved before me-"
 I never pretended there weren't women I loved before you," he owned gravely. T fessed up that evening when you planned to run off with Give"
 "Dicky, dear, by loved. I thought you meant liked"
 I'm not tO blarne for what VOL
