INTO a blaze anG looked r1unG hcr
with critical eyes.
Hitherto she had been rather
proud of her flat, with its queer
coloring and very modern lighting,
but today she felt vaguely dissatis-
fed with it. She knew quite well
why she felt dissatisfied. 1t was
the presence of Dennis O'Hara that
made her choice of furniture and
fittings look tawdry and bizarre.
Dennis himself was SO wholesome,
so clean. There was nothing arti-
fcal or pretentiqus about him;
he had come into her life like a
fresh breeze into a stufy, scanted
room, with which she knew she
would never again be satisfied.
She sighed again and came back
to the fire.
"Take off your coat, won't you?
There's whiskey on the sideboard,
and cigarettes. Mix me a whiskey,
please"
She sat down in one Of the big
velvet chairs and leaned her head
back, watching him with grave
eyes.
He looked so at home there in
her sitting room, in spite of his
tweed suit, which was oddly at
variance with his surroundings; he
looked, she thought, and little
shiver Of joy shook her as she real
lied hoMwo-derfuli it would Be #
it was really his home as well as
hers, if they had the right to shut
the door on the world and be hap

Unconsciously her eyes misted
over as she looked at him. So dear!
so beloved, but the husband Of
another woman.
Dennis came back with two
WHISTLES.
Barbara rose to her feet.
II want to talk to you. No
stay there at a nice respectable dis
lance, please" She moved close
to the fire and held her hands to
its warmth. Barbara had beautiful
hands, slender and white, and sud-
denly Dennis found himself con-
trasting them with Pauline's.
Barbara went on after a moment
in a brisk, Unconditional voice.
"All this-nonsense has to stop,
Dennis, you know that" She look
ed round at him and quickly away
again. Were behaving like-like
a couple of rotters. There's Paul

/ know. | can't understand myself
I'm not given to decent actions
It's not for Pauline, either. I'm
fond of her, but not fond enough
to wear a martyrs crown for he1
sake.
She was standing by the FIRE
again now, her arm resting on the
mantleshelf, her eyes bent on thu
leaping flames. 'It must be because
I love you so much," she said after
a moment. "You know, the sor1
of thing you read about in books
She loved him too we'll to spoil hi:
life," she said cynically; then sud
denly her head went down On hel
arm. "Why need this have hap
pened to newly need it have
happened to me! I've never beer
given any happiness; all my lite
everything's gone wrong"
Dennis watched her silently; his
arms ached with their longing tc
hold her, but he was afraid.
Barbara spoke suddenly: "Iou'd
better go, Dennis. There's moth
ing more to say, and it's getting
late. You've got to dine with DR..
Stornaway, you know"
"I can put him off"
"Nonesense." She turned and
faced him bravely. II look a sight,
don't 1? Women always do when
they've been crying, and That's
why they cry when there's nobody

night"
He took her in his arms and kiss
ed her. "Some day" he said
hoarsely, but she would not let
him finish, she laid a hand on his
lips, silencing him, and at that mo
ment there was a sudden knock at
the front door. Barbara gently
disengaged herself.
81 expect it's Mellish. I'll let
her in" She gave a hurried glance
in the mirror. II look a sight, but
she won't notice."
She turned to go, then came
back and put her arms round his
neck and kissed, him, but then:
when she would have gone, he held
her and kissed her many times, and
Barbara said breathlesly, DO you
remember the story of the plain
princess who only looked beautiful
when the man she loved kissed her.
and so she always looked beautiful
to him? Well, l think that must b
me-" and then, as the knock was
repeated, she went swiftly away:

cigarette and walked over to the

going to break her hearth"
Dennis. said, IF it is a cues
ton of her heart or yours"
She cut in harshly. Mine isn't
the kind that breaks-you've only
got to look at me to see that" She
dared not look at him as she spoke,
but she could have laughed at the
contrast between her carelessly
spoken words and the stark desola-
ton in her heart. eff he would
only speak-only say something"
She told herself in despair.
And then she heard him move,
and she felt his hands on her
shoulders, gently turning her to
him, and she raised her eyes slowly,
slowly, till they net his. There
was a little silence, then Dennis
bent and kissed her lips.
eff this Is what you call trying
to play the game, Barbara, don't
try any more. I know you, and I
know that you belong to me as
much as I belong to you, and that
nothing will ever change it even
if-if as you say-it's got to end.
Well?" he queried, as she did not
speak.
Barbara's lips moved, but no
words came. Then quite suddenly
she put her head down. on his
shoulder.
.. TX !. n n le s;;ai me- "
At that moment he was far more
to her than just the man she would
have married if he had been free:
he was all the different loves of life
that had never been hers, father,
mother, lover, child-everytHing.
He held her very gently, his face
against her hair, speaking words of
which he had never believed him
self capable. So often had he told
Pauline that he could not talk
like a poetry book and that she
must take his love for granted.
Poor little Pauline, who, although
she was his wife, had never been
his love.
And then Barbara gently olsen
gagged herself.
"I'm sorry, it's your fault. I've
never been such a weak idiot be-
fore" The tears were streaming
down her face, and though she
tried to brush them away they still
fell. IF I'd met you years ago,
Dennis, 1 might have been quite a
nice woman" she said sobbing.
"And, oh, look at your coat, all
wet with tears. Let me wipe them
away"
But he held her wrists, prevent
her.
mo, let them be, they are mine,
anyway" he said; then he kissed
her hands, the palm Of each, and
let her go.
"And all this doesn't help us or
tell us what to do" he said rueful-
ly.
Barbara laughed shakily. I'VE
don't need to be told-we know
already. You're married to n of
the sweetest girls in the world,
who adores you, and Though
I've got the reputation of being a
husband s%tealer, somehow I can't
steal you, Dennis. Perhaps it's the
one decent streak in my nature

Ambassador to Brazil, returned today
on the liner President Roosevelt, dubi.
GUS as to the prospect of America re.
ceiving further war debt payments.
He said unofficial ambassadors, =
spreading good will in European capi-
tails, had educated the war debtors te
believe America does not look for pay
ment.
The unofficial ambassadors Gibson
described as prominent Americans trav-
cling abroad without Government port
folio. He said they have been rash
enough to say that we should cancel
the debts"
I'VE can accept it with good grace,
he said as to his view of the hopeless
ness of further payments. "but there is
no reason to rejoice about it."
The Ambassador was more optimistic
about the prospects for reduction OF
armament.
Progress toward disarmament looks
very slow to me-" he said. 1T has taken
nine years to educate European govern
ments and diplomats to the idea. But
now, having met one another so often
and having obtained a better knowl-
edge of one another's psychology, they
have reached a point where they are
able to talk about formulae for cutting
arms
If an agreement is reached, Gibson
said. it will be the result of this slow
process of getting acquainted.

7TH STREET BANK
JOINS MERGERPLAN
Action of Directors Brings
Total in Hamilton Group
to Eight.

The Seventh Street Savings Bank
today joined the Hamilton Nationa
Bank merger, increasing the number Of
member banks to eight.
Action of the Seventh Street Bank
was taken this morning at meeting Of
the beard of directors and was an
nounced by John D. Howard, president
and conservator.
The Seventh Street Bank brings tc
the merger total of $1,166,0OO in de-
posits, from about 4.800 depositors. The
institution as a member of the merger
will start now on campaign to sell
s56, 900 worth of stock in the new mer-
ger, on the same basis that this issue
has been sold by other member branches
$25 a share of par value of $40.
The Seventh street institution will
join the Hamilton Bank merger under
similar arrangements to those under
which the other member banks belong
This means that when the bank opens
that so cents on the dollar will be
made available to each depositor at
the Seventh Street Bank If he buys
stock in the Hamilton merger he may
pay for it by cash or by taking it from
the so per cent of his deposits, which
become available when the bank opens
The other so cents remains in the
Seventh Street Bank to be handled by
the conservator and will be realized by
the depositor according to the way in
which the conservator can realize on
the assets remaining in the old bank.
This is the same plan used in all other
member banks of the merger. The ad-
dition of the Seventh Street Bank
therefore increases the deposits of the
Hamilton by half of the total deposits
of the Seventh Street Bank.
The bank, located at Seventh and N
streets. will be operated as a branch
of the Hamilton, with Mr.. Howard
continuing as conServator, it was an
nounced
Mr.. Howard expressed himself as
very 'gratified.' Before taking the
action, he explained that the situation
had been studied carefully and he was
assured that the step taken was the
best for both depositors and stock
holders.
II feel that the success of the Hamil-
ton National Bank is absolutely assured -

were rapidly approaching that goal.
