The story thus far: Lucy Granville
accepts Greg Hanson's proposal and
they return to the old house on Beacon
street to tell Lucys uncle Luke, her
guardian for many years. the good
them in they hear the voices of Luke
and his wife Elizabeth in the study.
Luke is telling Elizabeth that he wants
to divorce her and marry the actress
Rita Star. Greg leaves hurriedly and
Lucy is heartsick; If she doesn't marry
Greg she won't get her inheritance until
she is 25, and she wants it now SO
she can help her brother Guy finance
his chemical research work. Next
morning her uncle Merit, half-brother
of Luke, seems upset at the news OF
the engagement. Later. Lucy is an
noyed by the persistent familiarity OF
a young man named Sandy Block, who
comes to the house to see Luke but
takes occasion to criticize her engage
ment to Greg Hanson.

CHAPTER Nv.

If she could only tell Greg that it
had all been mistake. IT she
could tell him that Uncle Luke
didn't intend going through with
what he'd been threatening last
night! She wished she knew what
to do! She must try to think, rea-
son things out. She told Laval, who
had returned to the hall at that
moment, that she was going for a
walk in the park.
"The sun will do you good, Miss, "
he said. There's more than one IN
this house that needs good dose
Of SUM-"
And in the park she met the
irrepressible Mr.. Block again. He
sprang from a bench as If he had
been waiting there for her all the
time, and fell into step beside her.
She tried to ignore him, lifted her
pretty little chin and kept her blue
eyes straight ahead of her. But she
was aware of his humorous good
natured glances. Finally she stopped
and faced him. please" she begged
distraughtly. "go away and let me
alone. Can't you see that want to
walk alone; that I'm not IN any
mood for banter or-or anything
else?"
His face sobered instantly, and
the blue eyes meeting hers became
very kind. II know you're in trouble
of some kind. That's why I've been
watching for you. II want to
help. You must let me try to help,
whatever it is. I'd do anything
anything at all for you"
This isn't anything you could do
something about" she said. so If
you'll just 60 away-let me
alone"
How do you know" he de-
manded. why not give me a
chance?"
Tells Whole Story.
There wasn't any reason why she
should have told him all about it.,
unless it was that he had such an
air of assurance that she half be-
lieved he might be able to help her,
Perhaps it was just that there didn't
seem to be any one else to whom she
could turn for any real help.
And so your whole problem is,
he interrupted her at last to say,
that If your Uncle Luke gets di-
vorce and marries this Rita Star,
you'll lose Greg Hanson. and you
and Guy will have to 60 on waiting
for your money. Is that it?"
"Yes," she admitted. The way he
put it made it sound rather as if she
were marrying Greg without love
and that wasn't quite fair-but she
skipped over that. And then there's
Elizabeth, too. She'll suffer so. It
isn't that this Star woman really
loves Uncle Luke, I'm sure. There've
been dozens of others who've had
the same idea-to trade on the
Granville name in the theater and
have money to finance career"
II know that Star DAME" Sandy
Block muttered. "She couldn't ever
really love any one but herself" He
showed his hand into his pockets
and wrinkled his forehead. "And I'm
sure I could spoil her game, too"
The only thing I don't relish
about the whole affair."" he added,
fitting his head to look at her quiz
zically, "if that 1t throws you right

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-J. Albert
Vol, United States district attorney,
said today he would ask the Attor-
ney General to consider seeking a
Supreme Court ruling on whether
dissemination of horse racing news
over interstate wires violated the
Federal lottery laws.
The Federal Court yesterday
threw out an indictment charging
Western Union Telegraph Co. and
II individuals with conspiring to
violate the lottery laws. The court
held that closing odds and pari-
mutuel prices carried on the wires
did rot constitute lists of prizes
drawn as a lottery and therefore no
crime was committed.
Mr. Woll said he felt the highest
court. should decide the question
finally.
