still raining. I wanted more than
anything in the world to see
Mimi. I felt that if she knew my
plight she would be moved to ten
derness. Yet I dared not call her
up.
Restless, yearning for a conf
dante, telephoned to Olga. May
1 come over?"
Jerry? But you have neglected
me shamefully. I don't know
whether I ought to forgive you"
''I have been up to my ears in
work, writing play with Lionel,
and this morning it came back to
us. It was an awful blow"
She melted at once. Come, tell
me about it."
I went, and found it comforting
to have Olga's sympathy. Even
the awful Turkish Retreat seemed
to glow with pleasant bright
ness after the dreariness outside.

town." she said, when she had
heard my woeful tale, well have
to find some other way out Of it"
1 told her that 1 had written to
my father eff he lends me the
money, I'll be all right"
Coffee had been brought in, and
she poured cup for me, and then
one for herself which she made
sweet with much sugar and mel
low with cream. She ate with it
one of the fat chocolate cakes
which added so many pounds to
her overabundant figure.
IF your father won't lend it to
you," she said at last, 81 Will"
flushed, 81 couldn't do that"
why not"
"Well, I couldn't"
She turned that over in her
mind, and said at last, eff you
leave here you'll lose Mimi. How
can you expect to hold her when
you are 1000 miles away? A girl
like that, with men swarming
about her like bees? They all
have money, and the things she
wants, and you haven't anything
to offer but pack of dreams

these days to think. She hasn't

, open leather jewel-case lay among
the books, and in the case was a
string of pearls with an emerald
shamrock clasp.
Bernice's pearls! There was no
mistaking them! She had offered
them on the altar Of her love for
Lionel, and I knew how lightly he
had accepted the sacrifice.
did not want him to know that
1 had seen them-so I laid the
evening paper over the leather
case, and the next day when he
told me Jauntily that he had man
aged to get some money. my
cheeks burned with my knowledge
of the truth.
The letter from my father was
so like him that felt no sense of
indignation or Of anger at his re-
fusal to grant my request.
IT can't do it, Jerry. The thing
that I want for you is strength,
and I pray every night on my
knees that it may be given you.
You will never have it as long as
you lean on me. You have been
more than although I
am not sure even yet that it is
good fortune to have an income
provided which will permit you to
go on with your chosen work. If
that income has not been sufficient,
it is because you have not learned
sIscSf ISn 70
to live on what he has, no matter
at what sacrifice.
Does that sound harsh? MY
dear boy, you know my love for
you. So shall not offer any ex-
cuse. Except perhaps this one
that to let you have the money
would be to deprive your grand
mother and your aunt of the
things I had hoped might make
them comfortable this winter.
And I know you too we'll to be-
lieve that you would want me to do
that. There must be new heat
ing plant of some kind, if we are
to be warm. Our old stoves are
not adequate. If I send you the
money, I am afraid your grand
mothers ancient bones will ache.
II have this to say, however.
Why not come to us for a few
months? You ought to be able to
do some writing here in this quiet
place, where you will be undis-
turbed by outside forces. Spend
your Christmas with us, Jerry, and
our hearts will be glad. Then if
you want to go back-God speed
you.
LAS for the woman you love.
If she really cares, she will find it
out when you are away from her.
Her heart will travel to you across
the miles.
Write to me at once and let me
know that you understand this let
ter and my motive in failing to
let you have the money. The fact
that I want you to have it more
than want my mother ard sister
to have new stoves shows how my
sense of justice is blurred by my
for you. I'd rather freeze
all winter than leave a wish of
yours ungranted. So you see how
weak I am, and it takes the mem

You must think of his good,
Stephen to hold me to my pur-
pose."
I have my fathers letter yet,
and have copied it. It shows the
battle which he fought between
his love for his son, and his fear
that he might spoil him.
I answered at once, and told him
that I understood, but that I could
not be sure Of coming to him at
Christmas time. Things must
work out for me a bit before I
made my decision. I did not tell
him that my fate hung in the bal

ance, and that II came to him my
hopes would be dead.
The picture which the rose ball
room presented on the night of the
browning event was an unforget-
table one Of loneliness and luxury.
1t was the last time that was to
take part in such festivities. I did
not know it then, but in a few
| days I was to leave behind me,
forever, this world of silken shin
ing beauty, of rosy effulgence, of
care-free indulgence, of gay as
sumption that nothing in the world
mattered but a good time.
Olga had let me come early, and
was at the door when Mimi ar
rived. The fur of her gorgeous
wrap reached to her ears, and
above the fur was the radiance of
her glance, the beauty of her hair.
For once she had foresworn her
favorite colors, so that she
matched the ballroom in her rosi-
ness. AS her cloak fell back,
caught my breath-she was ex-
quisite, so absolutely a creature of
the world which encompassed her
silver slippers, silver butterflies
on the rosy tulle.
She gave me her hand and it
went to my lips. Neither of us
spoke, yet my heart cried out to
her, and think the cry was an
swered.
We had only that moment, for
Mrs. LIE Brun, who had stopped to
speak to Olga, came up to us.
'The guests are arriving, Mimi"
she said, you'd better run in and
be ready for them" Then she
spoke to me with an air of mad
dening patronage. you've been a
good boy, Jerry. You can see her
now as often as you wish. The
danger is over"
She swept on and up the stairs.
leaving me stranded on the shores
of apprehension. She seemed so
secure, SO triumphant.
Yet nothing could rob me of the
rapture of the thought that Mimi
was under the same roof with me.
That I could feast my eyes upon
her. I made my way to the bal
cony, and looked down to where l
could see her standing just beyond
the arched entrance to the ball
room. She saw me, and f1uttered
her fingers up towards me in
charming gesture. I waved back.
and sat there for a long time
alone, gazing down. I saw Andy,
erect and assured of manner,
standing with an irritating air of
proprietorship beside Mimi I saw
Mrs. Barry and Bernice-with
Lionel in attendance saw Kath-
crime Merrill and Stiles Sanderson,
and the Anmidon twins I saw
Olga elbow to elbow with Mrs. LIE
Brun, and regal in gold tissue and
the family diamonds. Many times
in later years the scene was to
come back to me-the fluid color
of 1.-THE astonishing separation
of it from all that had to do with
sQualor and sordidness- Its abso-
lutely artificial quality and it's fas-
cination.
Many single incidents stand out
IN my memory of that night, yet,
except for the final dramatic Gil
max, none more wildly than my.
talk with Bernice.
We had danced together, and
had wandered out into
the great sunroom, which, with it's
italian marbles, it's gay tropical
birds on perches lent itself per-
fectly to the decorative scheme Of
a rose garden, overtopped by a sky
of turquoise silk.
Bernice had seemed to me quite
like the girl I had first met, gay,
audacious.

We were in LionePs room, and
stood at the window looking out
It was rainiIg-a dreary, autumn
rain. with a thick smoky sky
above it. In the park across the
street the storm had swept the
trees bare-some blight seemed to
have fallen on the golden city
which 1 had entered with such
high hopes.

he had so often asked, implicit be-
lief in his powers. Yet a spirit of
encouragement gripped me. The
wind had risen and the rain
washed down the windows. 1
looked out on a streaming world,
and felt as if a blank wall blotted
out my future.
1T will take time to find out
what either of us can do" I said,
"and in the meantime I can't af-
ford to stay here"
He did not look at me. "Of

overthrown by the disaster which
had come upon us. Yet I had
nothing to say to him. 1, too, was

was glad when, breaking in on
our silence, the telephone rang.
We had been, felt, on the edge
of a quarrel. Any interruption
was welcome.
It was Bernice, wanting Lionel
to have tea with her.
He denurred. 81 should simply
weep on your shoulder, Honey.
The play has been rejected, and
Jerry and I are throwing bricks at
each other"
She argued with him, evidently,
and his voice took on a softer
note. you are a darling i
Yes s. at -
He hung up the receiver. "She's
too good for me, Jerry" he said,
soberly, and stood beside me look
ing out at the streaming rain.
I laid my hand on his arm. We
did not speak. But the anger had
gone out Of us.
When Lionel left me I faced the
facts. I must find some way to
retrench. I had mortgaged my
allowance for several months
ahead. It was out Of the question
for me to engage in other work
than literature. 1 was dedicated
to that, and I must prove myself
to Mimi. Since I had no money,
I must have fame to lay at her
feet.
I decided, that, all else failing,
I would ask loan of my father.
I could pay him at my leisure. 1
