GETHYN MAE LO W.

ETHYN MARLOW took life seriously. I don't know wh.v for life Is a quaintly fickle, curiously inconstant thing. She also took her bus band seriously, a feat no person ever attempted withov *. loss of self-esteem He was such an

ratic human mine of surprises. "Is this paragraph true?" she askec' him one day when he had come bona to recruit. "Read it," he said, returning the paper. "I can't hold the bally thing still." "It says Mr. Austin Marlow is financing the Regent theater." "Yes that's true." "You never told me." "I didn't see the necessity."

"Then, as Miss Bramber is, I see, the reputed tenant of the Regent, you are financing Miss Bramber?" I "Well, why not?"

Ho did not happen to look at her when he spoke. "Under the circumstances," she said, curtly, "wo will consider the financial aspect. Can we afford it? Wliat are the expenses?" "Blest if I know," he replied impatiently. "I can't bother with figures. About six or seven hundred a week." "And how much are you losing?" "How do you know I'm losing anything?" "The paper says It is an Ill-starred venture." "About two hundred a week I dare say." "Ten thousand a year! Undoubtedly we can't afford It. This whole income doesn't total eighteen thousand a year. What are you paying Miss Bramber?" "A hundred." "A week?" she exclaimed. Interrogatively. "Yes." "I should consider Miss Bramber rather an expensive luxury. What did she earn as a photographer'3 model before you made her into a star actress?" "You'd better ask her." "Thanks. I'll think about it. Are you too shaky to ride? I'm going to put a new horse at the low fences this morning." "I couldn't sit a dray horse." "Then I must leave you. Be good."

She returned, however, in a few minutes. "I've changed my mind," she said. "The horse shall have a rest. I'm going up to town till tomorrow. I want to see how we stand at the bank and to interview the lawyers. You won't drive me down to the station, I suppose?" "No, thanks." "Very well. Anything I can do for you? Shall I close the theater?" "Mind your own business, Gethyn." "I'll try, Austin. Good morning."

With that intention she called on Miss Bramber about noon the next day, and, with some amazement, found the lady at breakfast. "I would have called later had I known your breakfast hour," she said. "That doesn't matter I never eat before lunch. This is Harry's founda-tion-laying, not mine," said Miss Bramber, smiling at her vis-a-vis, "I did not send my name up because my business is quite private," said Mrs. Marlow. "You'd better hurry up^, Harry, there's a good boy," said Miss Bramber. "All right, I've finished," said Harry, "so I'll be off. How long will you be?" "Not long, dear."

"My name is Marlow," said Gethyn, 1

when Harry had gone "Mrs. Austin Marlow." Miss Bramber screwed up her mouth and almost whistled. "0!" she said. "Anything wrong with Marlow?" "Nothing unusually wrong with my husband, thank you," replied Mrs. Marlow, coldly and politely. "But thie is not a social call. I'm a woman of business. My husband is what you call your backer, is he not?"

"DON'T BE PERSONAL." "Marlow Is financing the Regent spec. Why?" "The result does not Justify the expenditure. I saw the performance last night."

Miss Bramber sneered slightly. "Marlow is satisfied," she said "that's everything.'' "Not quite. As a speculation, an Australian aborigine wouldn't touch it. As a performance "Don't be personal!" interjected Miss Bramber. "It is a personal matter. What did you earn as a photographer's model, Miss Bramber?" "Less than you would earn as a model of Impertinence," replied Miss Bramber angrily. "My contract doesn't stipulate for your impudent catechism, ma-1 dam." "Keep to business, please, Miss! Bramber. My husband recommended me to ask the question. However, at! the moat generous computation, your I ssrvice-value as an actress can scarcely exoeed £20 a weclt. The surplus £S*0 must therefore, I presume, bo considered a gift, and tho weekly loss a sacrifice to your vanity. We can't afford It" "Marlow can." "Mr. Mario# won't" "He will."

Mrs. Marlow moved her head Impatiently. "I happen to object, on various grounds." "You have your remedy, madam." "No, thanks. Miss Bramber. Reputations are made in divorce courts. I have no intention of making yours. Quite otherwise." "Then 1 defy you!" said Miss Bramber. snapping her fingers. "Naturally. Other parasitic persona have given me similar trouble—pugilists, touts, money-lenders. If you care to accept a month's salary and cancel your engagement, to-day, a solicitor shall call with a check." "I'm not an idiot, madam." "l ne-u iiiai. coin wHietj my DUSlne*" with you. Kindly ring for your servant."

Mrs. Marlow was so gratified with the result of her business that, immediately after lunch, she returned to Berkshire and her husband. He had braced up wonderfully since the previous day, and they kept up a good-humored conversation all through dinner, much to the secret surprise of both. "By the way," she said, when they had reached the sweets, "who is Harry?" "Which Harry?" he asked. "Old Harry is the devil." "I mean the Harry who breakfasts in a dressing-gown with Miss Bramber."

He glanced at her keenly. "I don't mean both in one dressinggown, you know," she explained "and he's not old—at least, not aged." "How do you know anyone breakfasts with Mies Bramber?" he askted quickly. "I called there to-day." "Where?" "At her house." "I told you to mind your own business, Gethyn." "And I obeyed, Austin. You referred me to Miss Bramber, if you remember." "You have an abnormal faculty for interfering with other people's affairs." "Only with irrational affairs, Austin. Some one must keep you dear of the bankruptcy court."

He got very angry and very rad. "I never waa and never will be tied to a woman's apron strings!" he said, hotly. "You haven't told me who ia Harry," she replied, quietly. "How the devil should I know?" "Because, dear, you finance Miss Bramber's vanity." "And have to tolerate your meddling," he retorted. "At a rough guess, Austin, I should say he plays the good young man at your theater," she said, preparing to go. "His name is Henry Something-or-other on the bills, is it not? He is a sturdy, red-haired animal."

She timed her exit judiciously to th* last word. "I think that leaven will work better with appropriate pfanoforte accompaniment," she said on her way to th© draw-ing-room.

Next morning she breakfasted early and got to work on accounts in the library before her husband came down. She could see he had been writing there the previous night—everything was *0 untidy. Nevertheless, she was prised almost into joyfully clapping her hands when she subsequently turned tip a sheet of foolscap and read the large, sprawling lines thereon. "Evidently tried how it looked," she said "then hesitated about sending it. It would be a pity if he changed his mind. He must have another dose of bitters at once," she concluded, turning the foolscap face downward again and covering it with ofther papers.

Leaving the accounts, she went ia

searc

of her husband, aifd eventually

found him in the stable yard. "Where are you going, Austin?" she ask^d. "To the devil!" he replied surlily. "I'll go with you, dear," she said. "Wait till I get into my habit." "I can't wait," he growled. "I'm sorry. I wouldn't take the jour* ney on that raw beast, though, Austin. He'll shy at a gooseberry bush." "Could you possibly mind your own business?" he sneered. "I really try, Austin." lie set. his horse at a gallop across the park. "That beast won't jump the fences!" she shouted. "Then I'll make him!" he shouted back. "I'm afraid he's going to save me a great deal of trouble," thought Gethyn.

He got no further on the meditated journey, however, than a couple of fractured ribs, a fractured elbow, and slight concussion of the brain. "He'll be .all right in two months," said the doctor. "In tho meantime, I suppose I must manage his affairs," said Gethyn, going to the library.

During the evening a solicitor's clerk posted a sheet of foolscap, writ ten upon in great sprawling lines, on the call board at the Regent Theater—

"Notice.
