that his mother was asking for her

Carter flung himself into bath,

He found her propped up in bed,
a high flush on either cheek, and
Zita Van Worst sitting beside her,

this situation-his mother urged him
to "settle down"

our family-and so would your faith

Hating and loathing Lucinda as he
now told himself he did, and assured
that this was the best way to put her
out of his mind forever, Carter there
and then was caught on the rebound.
Before Zita left the Chalaire mansion
that morning, he had become engaged
to her.
Jeremy Chalaire had left his Of

came through that morning, about his
wife's sudden illness.
He was on the track of Carter. The
bank had called him up about Car
ter's checks. Yes, $4,000 was tidy
sum. Those gambling checks must
be instantly quashed!
After reassuring himself as to his
wife's better condition, he had a
stormy scene with Carter. Stormy on
his side, that's to say. Carter was
surprisingly meek that morning.

"Well, if you can't get either hard
cash or a proposal of marriage out
of him, you're a fool!" Bubbles
harangued her sister one week after
their return. "D'you think we can
live on air-hot air-and kisses?"
Lucinda said proudly:"I should
never dream of asking Carter for
money"
eva! You make me sick! You'll
end in a charity institution, for all
your proud airs! I've good mind
to go to his old man for hush money.

Bubbles, you wouldn't? You
couldn't?"

Poppy, but his stuck-up clerks evil

I can't reach the old sinner!"
Bubbles behavior was widening the
gulf that already separated Lucinda
from Carter's family &C..
However, one day she got job.
AS the stand-in for star at a Long
Island motion picture studio. This
provided fluctuating funds. But Lu-
cinda was still out Of work.
Bubbles had also made a new

visible occupation, seemed to have
plenty Of money. His name was Cam
bericas.
"Look here, Lucinda, Camby's got
q job for you. You can be hostess
at that new Society place he's open
ing on East list Street. It's going
to be a WOW. Whenever my pictures
through, I'll give up most of my time
to it."
"What kind of a placer" Lucinda
had heard disquieting rumor that
Cambericas was a bad character
in fact, one of an underworld gang.
But Bubbles pooh-poohed her fears.
Didn't everyone break the silly old
laws in one way or another? Look
at Prohibition and the end of it! She
told Lucinda not to be q fool.
So Lucinda, at a salary of $50 q
week, including food and liquid re-
freshment, was taken on officially as
a hostess at the "Casino Belgravia."
This was a high-class gambling
rendezvous.
But apart from that little question
of law-breaking, it seemed perfectly
decorous to her. Cambericas was
strict. He would permit no alcoholic
whoopee on his Exclusive" premises,
though-to those who played roulette
and baccarat and vingtet-un-the
drinks were con the house" and the
food too.
AS she worked all night, and there
fore slept most of the day, she usually
saw Carter between the hours of five
and seven. Unless he dropped in to
the smart gambling house on East

cause his father had laid down the law
heavily, and threatened to cut him off
without a nickel if he found him

Excitement took the place of tran

She dare not look into the future.
Live only in the present.
She had not seen Carter for two
days when she could bear it no long
er, and telephoned him at his home,
and got him to drive up late to the
house on East list Street.
When he arrived, she saw that he
was very tight.
