CHAPTER III.

Mary's quick mind summed up her
own personal situation. 1t could be
secret till the divorce came out.
Her mother would be in California.
If the payment was enough she
would 60 with her. If not, she would
keep her job at the salon. 1t might
even be enough for her and Martin
to marry on and start some inde-
pendent business of their own. Her
heart hammered on her ribs. She
said, If I could do it without my
mother knowing till it was all over
l believe Id be willing. 1t seems
very simple"
Ruby Neville was cunning, or
perhaps merely diplomat like her
father. She had left the dif1cul-
ties to the last. 1T is very sim
Pile she said casually, but not so
simple as all that For instance,
you cannot keep it entirely from
your mother. for you will have to
live with Mr.. Bardsley for a year
in order to comply with the terms
of the will. Not only that, you
will have to be seen about with
him to a certain extent, so that
the residual legatees cannot con-
test the inheritance on the ground
that you are not on good terms with
each other" She looked angry
now as If merely the remembrance
OF the tyrannical will nauseated
her. When l say live with him,
mean, of course, live in the same
house. You will have absolute
freedom and privacy" She con-
tinued hastily, seeing the dubious
and reluctant expression on Marv's

piercing dark eyes, that seemed to
look through her and an easy air
as If he owned the earth AS their
eyes met some shock of immediate
mutual attraction seemed to pass
between them. so you're the young
lady who's going to help us out" he
said smiling.
1T isn't definite yet" she said
with hard-Won composure, there
are certain things 1 will have to
think about"
"Sucl. as?"
Il will have to discuss it with my
fiance.'
Mrs Neville interrupted her
brusquely. But surely I made il
clear that this was matter between
our thee selves, not to be shared
with any one"
But you see the position that
would put me In, Mrs. Neville?"
They were all standing and Kit
pulled forward a big chair and in
vited Mary to sit down. She's right
OF course. If she has a fiance and
if we go through with this thing
she'll have to tell him. Think OF
the mans feelings. Ruby" !,
Mrs. Neville thought this over
She sat on the edge of the table
and lit a cigarette, the wide sleeves
of the dark kimono falling away
from ner round white arms. This
young man of yours Mary-can we
trust him?"
Mary lost her nervousness. "Ot
course. Martin is wonderful He
would die by torture before he
would break promise to me-"
Hinges on Martin.
"A paragon" Mrs. Nevilles tone
was cynical But men are men
Don't try him too far. Is he going
to agree to this if you tell him
about it?"
L don't know I shall have tc
wait to let you know about it when
find out"
Kit had been silent but not in
attentive. 1t occurred to him while
they talked that Ruby in her haste
to get something dore, her desper-
ate desire for him to inherit his
fortune in spite of his LOYALTY

to her. had overlooked Mary Trees
persuasive charm. The girl had a
warm dark voice which would take
her places without beauty But she
had beauty too-rain-grey eyes, rich
amber hair and a luminously fair
complexion. He saw Mary's anxious
glance at the clock
1T seems We can't get any fur
ther till Miss Tree has talked things
over with her fance. So 1 think
Id better take her home now"
Ruby Neville agreed instantly.
When will you be seeing him?
When can you let us know Mary?'
The day after tomorrow. I won't
get chance to talk to him seriously
until tomorrow night"
Kit said as they slipped through
the damp gusty streets in the long
luxurious car, this fance of yours
why don't you marry him?"
He hasn't got a steady job. He's
a radio expert-quite genius
but he doesn't get a break. He
keeps going by odd jobs. installation

He's done quite we'll really. but it's
very precarious. One job doesn't

Concerned for Mother.
II see. You never thought of
marrying and going on the way you
are?"
Yes. And Id do it, too. But I
daren't in case something happened.
I'm responsible for my mother"
so Mrs. Neville told me. You
feel that responsibility very keen
ly, don't you?"
Yes" said Mary fervently, "if
she died because I left her or I
hadn't been careful enough I'd
never be happy again in my life"
The next day was Saturday. Mrs.
Tree had a friend in to supper
on Saturdays and Mary went out
with Martin to the Coco-Tree, an
inexpensive but colorful restaurant
they liked and afterwards to the
movies. This night Mary told him
she didn't want to 60 to the movies
she wanted to sit on after dinner
Evening star., 1940-07-26

and tell him about something very
important.
She began-"What would you
say Martin, if told you I'd decided
to get married to somebody else?"
A look half anger, half despair
distorted his face for an instant.
He said bitterly-"I wouldn't blame
you. But all the same I wouldn't
believe you"
why wouldn't you?"
You're not the girl to play tricks
on people who trust you. I know
that"
A happy warmth tingled all over
her body. She put her hand across
the narrow table and laid it on his
for a moment. I'm glad you know
that Martin. Because I am going to
tell you something difficult to un-
derStand-"
Divorce Impossible.
But Martin did not at first find
her side Of it difficult to under
stand. The difficulty was Ruby Ne
Vile That's silly, xary. She
COulQ go 10 Keno.
"Of course she couldn't. She told
me she has no evidence whatever
that would hold water. Her husband
is cruel to her, but in a very clever
way. He never lets a witness see it,
When friends or servants are there,
he is always exquisitely polite. With
him fighting her she wouldn't win
anywhere. Besides Reno divorces
are not valid for New Workers Peo-
pie get by with them, but not if there
are things relatives want to fight
about-for instance huge legacies at
stake"
Martin shrugged his shoulders
"Why did she pick on you for the
masquerade"
Il don't know. I was handy I
suppose. And I guess she doesn't
want girl of their own class in
volved in case something goes wrong
in case for instance the girl fell
in love with him"
She paused rather breathless see
ing Martin staring at her, his face
suddenly white with anger. The
matter is closed" he said rudely, Il
won't allow it."
Mary's Mother Relapses.
Mary started at him. Then she
spoke very quietly, but incisively and
with lift of her chin Martin,
won't let any man tell me he won't
allow me TO do anything. This
isn't the middle ages. You forget
about mother-or you don't care.
Like it or not, I'm going ahead with
it
Mary! Has it occurred to you for
one moment to put yourself in my
place and consider what you're ask
ing me to stand for?"
What about my place? How would
I feel if I let this chance to care
for mother 60 by, and I lost hero"
Martin got up abruptly and
reached for her coat. This IS all
I can stand Mary Let's go home :"
1t was early and he went up with
her to the small box-like apart
ment. Mrs Trees friend met them
at the door. She was a practical
woman not given TO fuss or commo-
ton, but her eyes were frightened.
She said. Thank God you've come.
