SOPHIE KERRS SUPERB LOVE STORY 1iEN-

By Sophie ker

I emancipation from the rules that
limit and plague lesser spirits.
1t did not have the same effect
on Thorpe. He was frightened
and James grandiloquet ideas
frightened him still more. Also
they shocked him. Jane ought to
have been terrified. She ought
to have cried and she ought to
have clung to him and implored
him 20 help her. But she did
none of these things. She laughed
at his flustered reasonings and
arguments. She assured him that
the things he said didn't apply to
her.
His resistance strengthened her
obstinacy. He couldn't make. her
see what an utter little fool she
was and presently reached the
stage of reproof and command.
And then the last remnant of
glamour was off Thorpe for
Jane.
One lengthy acid quarrel sue
ceeded another. Jane pointed
out to him that in brains and
business ability she was quite his
equal, if not his superior, and
that she had been able to catch
and stop various bad holes in the
scheme by which they had profit
ed at KandePs expense. There
was sufficient truth in this to
flick Thorpe's self-esteem on the
raw. She said she never had
! thought it sporting of him to
use her place in Mr.. kandafs
confidence to better himself, and
that she was pretty sure he cared
for her only to use her in this
way.
She also pointed out he wasn't
supporting her, that he never had
done so and that such presents as
he had given her-that brooch
and bracelet Of sapphires and
pearl, the crystal fruit dish for
her dining table, the gold cigaret
case and so forth, she would
gladly return to him. She re-
minded him that she was Is years
younger than he, had never had
a lover, that he was married, es-
tablished, and knew perfectly well
what he was doing. With these
and similar thrusts she made him
feel cheap and dirty and dishon-
est.
i Though he knew it was the
truth, he knew also that it was
qualified and explained by much
other truth less advantageous to
James case for herself, but which
he could not fling back at her.
The necessary restraint did not
endear her to him. Still his
sense of responsibility would not
let him leave her until he was
driven away.
And now she had driven him
away. And the long hard wave
of disgust for him and for her
self-though this she would never
have admitted to him-which had
carried her through this last
scene, and subsidized and she was
spent and done. She remembered
the way she had thrown herself
on her bed and sobbed about
Howard jackson and Amy, but
today she was past tears. Their
she had still had her beautiful
strong, untouched body, but now
that had failed her. She was ugly
; and awkward and weak and ill
!! She was alone.
There was no one in the worlt
on whom she could rely for tho
grace and soiace Of companion
ship, and she wanted companion,
ship. She needed someone tC
whom she could talk and ease
the burden of secrecy, for that
']had become almost intolerable.

She had felt so sophisticated,
so frec-she had believed so GER
tainly that the marriage ceremony
was no more than mumbo-j jumbo,
meaningless to honest minds,
worthless to honest lovers, just a
lot of words that tie up people
into an inconvenient, stlfling III
timacy. She HAD not minded in
the least that Thorpe himself was
married. She was, she told him,
above the pettiness of wanting
legal possession of his name. And
to tell the truth, her views along
that line had not altered at all
She was honestly glad she hadn't
married him. He had lost his
interest for her and the glamour
of her imagined COURAGE and even
more imaginary superiority to
less daring women had worn
threadbare. She wanted to be rid
of him. He had become a weary

BEGIN HERE TODAY


Jane Terry comes to Ne York
determined to show her home
town and especially Amy Jack
son that she can make a success
of her life. Amy had been her
best friend until Howard jackson
broke the engagement Jane fore
ed on him and married Amy. I'm
able to bear the sight of Amy's
happiness, Jane obtains a job in
a New York real estate office.
Jane is clever ari soon is max
ing an excellent calarv. She has
an affair with Roger Thorpe, a
business acquaintance who is mar
ried. Later she tires of kim, and
when he offers to bear the ex-
Pense of their child she dismisses
him contemptuously.
NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIV
Pm going" Roger Thorpe
said. "But Jane-if you need
me, If you want me"
'Ill never need YOU. I'll never
want you" Her voice, for all it's
level quality, was like whip
lash. We're through i don't
even want you to speak to me if
you see me on the street. And
stay away from here. That re-
minds me-give me your key.
Very thoughtful Of you to ring
this morning"
g" always ring when Kitty's
here"
CAS- if Kitty didn't know. Don't
be silly"
There was pause and Thorpe,
signing, rose to leave. "Jane," he
asked, hesitatingly, "How are you
, off for money!"
81 am all right, and it doesn't
concern you anyway"
II couldn't GO without asking
you. If you should happen to
need any, Just call me up"
Where? At your house,"
Thorpe sighed again. you're a
| queer girl. There's only one thing
more | can say, that Pm sorry
from the bottom of my heart. Pm
sorry and ashamed. l feel so rot
ten, getting out and leaving you
alone"
"You may feel rotten, but you
are relieved, too. If only I'll hold
my tongue, if only I'll not bother
you, that's all you hope. You'll
wake up at night and go cold all
over wondering what would hap
pen if l came along again and
wasn't inclined to be discreet.
This will be a good lesson to you
not to make love to any more
girls in the office, Roger"
Thorpe WINGED, turned resent
full. "Since we're giving advice,
I'll give some to you. Don't take
another lover unless you really
love him. Remember that. Ii
makes difference. And goodby
Jane"
At the closing of the door Jane
sat down, limp and blank. Well
she was rid of hmm. And glad OF
it. "He's a coward" she thought
"He's. weak. He's not honest
1 about anything. What made me
! do it! What made me. l knew
exactly the sort he was all the
time. except maybe right al
first"

She put her head down on hel
hands and let the scenes Of hel
relationship with Thorpe drift
slowly up from her memory. His
first kindness, when she was find
ing the office stale and difficult
! and then, his personal interest
and her response, flattered anC
