Chase was sleepy, and Dora tired.
But Victoria, in an old, short skirt,

'T'he morning was ushered in by

Of cannon. At IL o'clock a grand

men and closed by citizens) to

of his excellency the president Of
Congress, where the compliments of
the day were first paid to his ex-

From whence they returned to Cor

SYNOPSIS s; s !.

Victoria Herrendeen, vivacious little
girl, had been too young to feel the
shock that came when her father, Keith
Herrendeen. lost his fortune. A gentle,
unobtrusive soul, he is now employed
as an obscure chemist in San Francisco,
at a neager salary. His wife, Magda,
cannot adjust herself to the change. She
Is beautiful woman, fond of pleasure
and a magnet for mems attention.
Magda and Victoria have been down at
a summer resort and Keith joins them
for the weekend. Magda leaves for a
bridge party, excusing herself for be-
ing such runaway" The Herrendeens
return to their small San Francisco
apartment. Keith does not approve of
Magda's mad social life and they quar-.
rell frequently. Magda receives flowers
from wealthy man from Argentina
whom she had met less than a week
before. Manners arrives a few hours
later. Magda takes Victoria to Nevada to
visit woman friend who has daughter
named Catherine. There she tells her
she Is going to get divorce. Victoria
soon is in boarding school with her
friend Catherine. Magda marries Man.
ners and they spend two years in Argen-
tina. Victoria has studied in Europe
and at eighteen she visits her mother
when Ferdy rents a beautiful home.
Magda is unhappy over Ferdy's drink
ing and attentions to other women. Vic
dislikes him. When her mother and step
father return to South America, Victoria
refuses to 60 with them because of Fer.
'dy's unwelcome attentions to her.
Magda returns and tells Vic she and
Ferdy have separated. Meanwhile Keith
has remarked. Victoria is now a stu.
dent nurse. Magda has fallen in love
with Lucius Farmer, a married artist.
While she and Vic prepare for trip
to Europe. Ferdy takes suite in
their hotel. The night before Magda
and Vic are to sail, Magda elopes with
Lucius Farmer. While nursing the chill
,dren of DR.. and Mrs. Keats, Vic meets
DIR. Quentin Hardisty, a brilliant physi'
clan, much sought after by women,
who is widewer with crippled daugh'
ter. In tete.a.tete at the Keats home,
he kisses Vic. Several days later he
invites her with other guests to spend
weekend at his cabin.

Trinity equipped, they went Out
to the kitchen, where the. younger
doctor was mixing something iq-
uid in a small pail, and the older
one busy with a salad.
They all worked together, getting
in each others way, getting more
and more hungry as the clocks
hands slipped from half-past six to
seven, from seven to eight. The
boy carried the steaks into the shed,
where they were to broil on a char
coal fire. Victoria sampled the salad
on a bit of cracker.
'That," she said firmly, sis the
most delicious salad ever tastedi"
It was long and delightful meal.
Presently they carried their cups
to the fire, and Mock Suey cleared
away the table, and still nobody
made a move to go to bed, and the
logs burned on, and the level
branches of the redwoods swept
across the low roof in the restless
wind of the spring night.
''You girls going to freezer"
believe me, we have our hot
water bottles" Dora said firmly.
Victoria, raising her S5as with a
sleepy smile, met Quentin Hardis-
tvs steady look, and was disturbed
to feel herself flushing. But when
she and Dora finally did drag them
selves off to the raised platform
where their beds were, and had
drawn the canvas curtain against
the warm sitting room and the fire,
she was conscious Of a sort Of
dancing excitement in her veins.
This was all such fun!
There was a rattle at the curtain
rings. Victoria put her head through
them and found Quentin Hardisty
standing close to her at the other
side.
Victoria's hair had been gathered
to the top of her head in mass Of
careless, tawny curls; her young
face was rosy from heroic washing
with scented soap, her eyes danced.
"EIere are two extra-things," the
doctor said a little corfusedly.
They're stone hot-water bottles:
some people like 'enl. Anyway,
they'll keep hot until morning."
"Oh, God bless you, misterI" Vic
toria said, the curtains parting as
she put out her arms to show her
slim body in square, blue-striped
pajanaas open at the soft young
throat.
''You look like a DOLL" the man
said in whisper.
Victoria stood still, her throat sud-
denly thick. She smiled at him
confusedly.
''You're Iovely!" Quentin said. He
laid his hand on her arm. Good
night" he said, and somehow the

TNOURTH OF JULY first was OBJ
served as a holiday with a
- public levee at the home Of
the President in 1876, three years
after the close Of the Revolution, it
is revealed in papers brought to
light by the historical research de-
partment of the Carnegie Institution
Of Washington, states a writer in
the Washington Star.
The first Of these is letter from
Rufus King to Elbridge Gerry, both
of whom were members Of the Con-
tinental congress, then meeting in
New York. It reads:
"D'r Gerry, In consequence Of an
order of Congress a public levee
was held from IL to 3 ocrk at the
House of the President at which
were present the members of Con-
gress, Officers of the Great Depart
rnents, Foreign Ministers, etc., etc.
The Cincinnati are in the highest

with a splendor exceeding any
thing within the practice of Govern
ment-of course draw the Huzzas

almost an absent voice, if she would
see him in his own office before she
went away.
Vic found her way to this guarded
and inaccessible sanctum made
strangely easy. Kate had a wrapped
molasses peppermint to console her
for recent indignities, and Vic sat
earnest and pretty in her new spring
clothes, looking in puzzled expec-
fancy at the doctor.
II want to talk for. a few minutes,
and then you talk, Quentin began.
He drew four firm parallel lines in
pencil on a scrap Of paper, looking
at them, crumpled the paper and
threw it aside.

NERVOUS, huh?" Quentin Har-
disty asked, looking up.
mot very" the girl smiled, flush
ing.
''Why at all?"
''Well, then, not nervous at ALL"
Vic said, laughing. ''But there is
something fundamentally-distur
ing about being shut up in lone
mountain cabin with a handsome
and fascinating man." she re-
minded him.
Listen, why do you rub in that
fascinating, handsome stuff? That's
the third time"
''The second, ] think"

ed, ''when you were nothing short
of-well, there's only one word for
it, beautiful"
'HThank you. Seriously, there
aren't many real beauties, and the
few I've known have had vile
time!" ....
''We1l, coming back to first prin-
ciples," DR.. Hardisty said, don't
worry about the Uphams; they'll get
here. And if they didn't, I assure
you that you'd be as safe as my
own sister," -:
The girl looked across at him,
handsome and brown, and quite Sc.
rious, in the soft fire and lamplight,
and her heart gave an odd twist, a.
physical plunge Of emotion. Her
throat thickened suddenly, and she.
felt silly and confused. But she
gave no sign of it, and before either
she or her host spoke again the Ups.
hams arrived, in a gay furry of.
apologies, and after that everything
was smooth sailing. !. n
The two women were relegated
to the south alcove, drew their cur
tain, and proceeded with their Un-
packing and changing to a lively
exchange of gossip. Dora was 60.

nobody knew it but Chase, but they
were tremendo dously excited. Vic

CONGRESS- FIRST SITTING

THERE were two reasons why
L the Constitution trainers pro-
vided for such long lapse of
time between election of a con-
gress and its first sitting. The
chief reason was that the franz
ers believed it unwise to have
legislators take Office soon after
election because of the danger of
hasty action. It was felt that
time should be allowed for the
heat of the contest to cool. The
secondary reason was that con-
siderable time was required for
members to travel from distant
parts.
