An embarrassed flush su1used
Elaine's cheeks as he stumbled
through his explanation. Impul-
sively she raised her arms and threw
them around his neck. "Eric-1'm
sorry. I was just angry for q minute
that I didn't stop to think you might
have q real reason for having left
me-"
"1ts all right" he forgave her
with q tear -dimmed smile, dabbing
ut her eyes with his big, white
handkerchief. "The only thing
we've got to talk about is your mar
riage to Stuart. Elaine, are you
really going through with it,"
She averted her eyes and nodded
her head. Il have to, Eric. I prom
ised Melvyn I would and can't let
him down now. I'm marrying him
this afternoon and tomorrow we'll
be on our way to China"
"China!" Eric's eyes were startled
and his fingers gripped her shoul-
ders until she ached all over. But
are you insane, Elaine? Is he in
sane? China is no place for a girl
nowadays. You can't 60! I won't

you're q fool, you know" Betty
said softly, perching on the end Of
Elaine's bed. You're letting little
quarrel ruin your entire life. Elaine,
why don't you tell Melvyn that you
can't marry him?"
Elaine forced gay smile to her
lips as she placed her remaining
clothes in the suitcase. She snapped
1t shut with a decisive click and
turned to Betty. "Because-because
I happen to love him."
"Bosh!" Betty snorted. MY dear
little cherub, do I have to remind
you that I've lived four years with
you and that I can read you as
easily as I read a book? You
mustn't ever tell lies, Elaine. Every
time you do you begin to blush like
the very dickens. You don't love
Melvyn and you're going to marry
him simply to spite Eric. And I
think you're a fool If you do"
"Are you finished?" Elaine asked
coolly, hesitating before the door,
Because if you are I have to go.
Melvyn probably will be waiting"
"You talk like a schoolgirl" Betty
said with a reproving glance. She
jumped to her feet. Buff that
is the way you feel aboutsit, well,
go ahead and marry the man. It's

engaged in their argument as Elaine
swept into the room. Signing, she
sat down on the couch and glanced
at the little clock on the mantel-
piece. Quarter to /. Fifteen minutes
more and she and Melvyn would
be made husband and wife. She
was suddenly glad that there was so
little time left. It would be better
to leave without seeing Eric. She
was going to marry Melvyn. that
was final, and Eric's arrival would
only have the effect of upsetting
them all.
Sure. an I pity the lad!" Jack
exclaimed with q grin at Elaine. ut
is no easy thing for q man to be
givin' up his independence. For
the rest Of his life now Melvyn will
be havin' to take orders from a
woman. 'Tis q sad state of affairs"
Eric Arrives.
Elaine didn't tell him that he too
was going to give up his independ-
ence that very afternoon. Before
she could even think Of this crush

behind them that she turned 10
look up 1t Eric. The flre In his eyes
sent delicious shudders up and
down her spine, and she immedi-
ately turned her eyes away again.
She had no right to his love any
more. She had no right to feel
anything for him. She was going
to marry Melvyn.
Eric walked slowly toward her
and sat down on the couch. Before
she had the presence Of mind to
move away he had placed one arm
gently around her shoulders. His
voice was husky and deep when he
spoke.
"Elaine-I-I was told that you
were going to marry Stuart. sup
pose I shouldn't have come back.
But well-1 had to. Do you mind?"
Elaine shook her head as she
slipped out from beneath his arm.
"Of course don't mind. Eric" she
told him with forced smile. you're
one Of my best friends and-and
one should always have ones friends

Her remark had hurt him. I'm
pulsively she laid a cool hand on

And yet-what else could she do?
If she acted nervous or showed how
much she loved him she would sim.

his useless quest. The quicker he
found out that she had no inten-
ton Of breaking her engagement to
Melyn the sooner he would forget
about her and return to California

tension over the room as Elaine rose
from the couch and walked toward
the door. Thu muscles In her
stomach became tight and she
wished that her legs would stop
wobbling 20. Her heart was pound
ing . mad tempo within her as she
placed her hand on the knob and
threw wide the door.
He was there. Handsome, eager
black, curly hair disheveled, suit
wrinkled, he stood quietly before
her, eyes pleading, lips curved into a
nervous smile.
Hello. Elaine" he said softly.
"May-may I come IMP"
Elaine smiled and withdrew from
the door. "Of course, Eric!"

glanced at Clara, q triumphant

you did for me-"

couch as the three of them marched
solemnly out of the room. 1t wasn't

she smiled as shs again sat down
upon the couch.
Somehow, Eric had changed. fIis
mothers death had, in some strange
way. caused him to grow up. Gone
now was the nervousness, the air
OF uncertainty which had once, 90
annoyed her. Before her stood q
man who loved her very much, .
man who was confident Of himself
and quietly determined to recapture
her love. But-but that man hAd
come too late!
You can't stop me-" she told him
quietly, desperately trying to control
her trembling nerves. Don't you
see, Eric. Melvyn loves me. Soon
he'll be In China, running q thou
sand risks = day, taking chances
every minute of his life. I couldn't
send him to face that hurt, moody
and angry. He-why he might even
be killed. I couldn't ever look at
anybody's face If I let him die un-
happy"
What about us, Elaine?" Eric
said gently as he took . seat beside
her. Are we to ruin our lives
simply to make sure that one man
dies happy2 That sounds rather
hard, know, but Elaine, you could
die. too; 50 could I; every one dies
sooner or later. Selfish thoukh It
may sound, our first duty is to our
selves. We have right to be happy,
and absolutely no right to deliber-
ately ruin our lives"
Elaine glanced down at her watch
and frowned. It was o'clock. She
f1dgeted restlessly on the couch and
took one final look at Eric's serious
face before she rose and walked to.

His eyes grew puzzled and he rose
TO his feet to pace restlessly up and
down the room. ''You shouldn't be

His remark st,lng her to the quick.
Gone, suddenly, was her resolve to
remain cool. Into her mind swept
the memory Of all the anger and
hurt his departure for California
had caused her and she glanced
ilercely up at him.

ended the day you left me. It ended
the day you proved you couldn't

OF every day life. Go back to your
mother and your fortune, Eric Go
on back to your mother and leave
me alone!"
There were tears in her eyes as
she angrily rose from the couch
and walked over to the door. She
rubbed her hand impatiently across
her eyes. She was a fool. She must
stop crying. She mustn't let Eric
know how badly she felt.
