NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XLV1I
Word went to Victor Stryk-
hurst by wire and he, of course,
was furious.
Married to Michael Heath
eroe weeks ago. He is here
with me. Both ask blessing
and forgiveness"
Victor almost had apopleXy.
Berthe did not do much to soothe
him. What was this outlandish
tale, Victor fumed! Katharine
wandering around the southwest
with God knew whom. lost in the
desert, found by this extraordi-
nary young man who had taught
riding class in Innlcock and
who, amazingly enough, had been
married to Katharine for weeks.
Berthe said again and again
that she could not get over it.
She repeated the phrase impress
sively, as though the very weight
of her words must stun the
listener.
People got bored hearing it:
Ida Parker, who was fond of
Berthe, said so roundly.
"You really must stop raving
about Kay" Ida told her friend.
"Peoplc will think there's some
thing odd about the whole affair,
and it's really very romantic. it
isn't as if this young Heatheroe
hadn't turned out extraordinarily
well. He has a title if he cares to
use it. Zoe tells me. 1t was all IN

and went back to the shabby lit
tie house she shared with her
mother and sisters to gloat over
the story with trace of envy.
81 know her WE'LL" she told the
dazzled little sisters who hung
over the very poor half-tone re-
production Of Katharine's picture.
ooh, she's lots prettier than that,
Daisy! She's a real blond-and
you know we don't get many of
those. I've seen the fellow she
married MANY a time, too. He's
real good looking don't know
as he's nv type, though. Now,
my IDEAL
They had heard about Isabel's
ideal before. Daisy frankly
yawncd.
my IDEAL" pursued Isabel,
running a wet comb through her
wave and narrowing her eyes
speculativelv at her image in the
spotted and cloudy mirror. "my
ideal is sort. of like Fredric March
only YOUNGER. but with the same
, kind of chin
"Bill don't look a bit like
Fredric March," observed Daisy
with an air Of innocence bclied
by the knowing stare in her
beadv eyes.
"You better let Bill alone"
Isabel said with spirit. Owe told
Bill many time he wasn't my
ideal as far as looks go, but he
certainly is one handsome fellow.
There are girls in this town
who'd give their shoes to go out
with him"
SEE vouw Daisy was settinp
the table now, slapping forks and
! knives, all hopelessly mismatch-
ed, down upon a cloth notable
for the number and variety of
spots on it.
"You mind your own business
or you'll be sorry" Isabel advised
heatedly. "Tell you one thing
when Bill and | step off We'll
have slicker looking place to
| live in than this dump. Wonder
you kids wouldn't rinse out a
! bit of wash now and then. with
Ma working her head off all day
at the canning factory. You get
out of school at quarter past
three and hang around yelling
your heads off till Just before l
come home. Bet l know what's
for supper, too" She wrinkled
her nose, staring into the hand
leless pot or the stove.
Canned beans! | know it."
She slammed into the room she
shared with Daisy and Mary
Maud. Bill was taking her to one
of the first indoor hockey games
tonight. She'd be lucky if she
found a decent pair of silk stock
ings to wear. When she had talk
cd so boastfullv to Daisy and the
others of her probable marriage
to Bill she had been whistling in
the dark. How did YOU ever get
a bow to the point whore he pro
posed? She didn't know. Maybe
she'd GO on like this forever,
working at the shop, coming
home to dirty house, getting
older by the minute, not having
anything she wanted. :.

| when did you ever encour-
age confidence from Katharine,
my DEAR" inquired the other
woman softly, unable to resist
, this stab.
Berthe flushed and tossed her
head. For a few days she didn't
telephone to Lisa, but the other
woman heard that Mrs. Stryk-
hurst had stopped what Zoe call
ed "broadcasting" about Kath-
arine's elopment and was salts

man, nice looking and pleasant. "
'He was a groom" muttered
Victor. "He was a cowboy be-

"You'rc being very foolish

and terminating the interview.

When he left she shook hands
with him quite calmly, and then
she went back into the house and
tore up letters which she had

Why she had kept those old
love letters. she could not have
said. She was true and faith
: full wife: but there had been a
! lurking sentiment for the old tie
which she had never before been
able to sever. She saw Victor
now as he really was-elderly,
Intellectual, hidcbound. How could
] she ever have loved him?

Retsy's Beauty shop, read the
news in the village newspaper

after all, it wouldn't matter when
she was older. She wouldn't care,
then.
ooh, sis, box came for you
today" Mary Maud, gangling
and pale at II, in a bingham
dress size too small, came to
stand and stare from the door.
"a box? How? By parcel
post?" Bundles of any sort were

Mary Maud virtuously, wanted
to open it, but | wouldn't let
her"
Frantically Isabel tore at the
string, ripping it off. Under
folds of tissue paper lay a white
and silver frock. Isabel gasped,
staring. She tore open the square
creamy envelope. There was a
signature. Sally Moon. . Why,
of all things.
Dear Isabel: Pm going to
Paris for a year. You said
something the last time you
did nv hair about getting
married. Don't saw | gave this
to you. The old cats have
talked enough already. Good
luck"
"Well. | never thought she
even liked me-" marvcllod Isabel.
Casual, careless Sally had sent
her the wedding dress!
"Try it on, sis. Try it on"
Both dingv little girls were hop

from the scrubby cubicle which
served as bathroom. her arms
and face cleaning from recent
scrubbing. She slipped the love-
ly frock over her head.
COOKBOOK, don't GU look mic"
Even Daisy said it. reluctantly
but convincingly.
When YOU have never before
in your life owned a, really de-
cent frock, Isabel thought, re-
volving before the square of mir
ror, it's heaven to own one at
last it works magic for you.
Lost in her dreams, she didn't
hear the doorbell. Didn't hear
Bill's deep growl in response to
Mary Maud's piping treble.
"Tell her I can't make the
game" she heard at last. "Tell
her I've got to play pool with
some of the fellows :"
Isabel went out into the sit
ting room. Bill saw her. He
CAPPED. The little girls, sensing a
situation, withdrew to the kitchen
where they peeped through tho
kitchen door.
Don't bother" Isabel said
ioftily. you've broken dates

She was regal in the white and

she was like an exotic flower.
