“EMBERS OF LOVE”

SYNOPSIS Lily Lou Lansing, young and pretty telephone operator, gives up her opportunity for an operatic career to marry wealthy Ken Sargent. Ken’s mother wanted him to marry the socially prominent Peggy Sage and threatens to have the marriage annulled. Ken and Lily Lou are stranded, but she assures him ‘-he will stick by him regardless of what happens. CHAPTER NINETEEN They had an apartment in a building on Filbert street, on Russian Hill. At night they could sit in their window and look out all over the bay. see the lights on the other side . . . pick out Lake Merritt . . . watch the flash of the light on Alcatraz. . . . Lily Lou knew every nook and corner of her apartment. She had the rented linen and silver by heart. She thought the rooms were beautiful. and certainly they were nicer than any she had lived in before. “Can we afford it?” she asked, a little frightened. - “Sure, it’s much cheaper than the hotel.” They had been staying at the St. Francis. Ken had insisted. He said it would be just for a few days and they might as well start out right. It was thrilling for Lily Lou. The crowded lobbies, the long dining rooms with the scurrying waiters, the snowy tables, the people who al! seemed rich and well dressed. Their room was nice, too, so large, so luxurious . . . Lily Lou would have been very happy, if she hadn’t worried. She wrote long letters on the hotel stationery ... to her mother, to Bess, to May . .to the boys, John and Ear! . . . think of it! The youngest Lansing, sitting in her own room in a hotel like that, writing letters headed “Hotel St. Francia”—as if it were nothing at all! But the answers from the family depressed her . . . they were so careful, so restrained. All but Bess—“l’m sure I hope you’ll be happy,” Bess wrote, "and don’t you mind vhat anybody says. You’ve got your own life to live, you’ve got just as much right to a home and husband and babies as any of us, so the family can just shut up about that. “Don’t you care what Ken’s family says, either. They may think they are the last word, but you can’t tell me that any big business man is as good and kind as dad, and as for mother, we wouldn’t trade her for any society woman. Don’t you Jet them lord it over you. You’re just as good as they are. I only hope that Kentfield is all you think he is. You deserve a real men. Lily Lou. and I only hope he twins out to be one!” Lily Lou winced at that. She couldn't just make some polite answer. Bess would think she was changed already. . . So she wrote, with something like candor: “Yes, Ken’s family was angry enough. Not very complimentary to me. Bat Ken broke with them when they tried to se; irate us. . . .” "Tried to annul our marriage" was what she ought to write, but she couldn’t quite do that. Instead. ’ she added another paragraph; "S’ou don't have to worry about >p.s It is true that Ken lost his job with his father, but the very day he bft his father’s office he got a job,

to the hole. Then put into the top of the hole a plug which will not leak, and push ou the plug. A limit of the high pressure obtainable is set by two things: the leaking of the plug and the yielding of the steel container. In a few cases, pressure up to 600,000 pounds have been reached. The danger of the p.oeess is seen by the tact that it has been found necessary to set some pieces of apparatus behind boiler plate to pioteet the operators for such extreme pressures are 10 to 20 times th -e in long range guns. r _ o HUNGRY FISH KEPT ANGLER FAMISHED SAN LKANDRO.

and a better one. at another place.” Patting that into writing made her feel safer, somehow. She hastened out to mail it. That would show Bess the sort of husband she had. - "He really is old for his age,’ she thought, determinedly, listening to his accounts of the office, at night. He really did seem interested and enthusiastic. She was foolish to worry that it wouldn’t last. . . . They had been in the apartment about a week when Ken came home a little late one evening. "Dad came in to see me," he said guardedly. Lily Lou pretended to bustle about the tiny kitchen. She stirred up the mashed potatoes, fussed with the biscuits she had heating in the oven. “What did he have to say?” she asked, when Ken just leaned against the kitchen door, watching. Ken yawned. “W a n t me to do anything. Lily Lou? Oh, he didn’t have much to say. He’s trying to talk me out of it, of course.” The dish with the mashed potatoes leaped in her hands. “Trying to talk you out of what?" “Oh. out of marriage, I guess.” He laughed nervously. Lilj Lou was silent. A little pulse over her eye began to throb. She put her hand over it. Tried to go on eating. Then Ken came over to her, put his arms around her. loved her. The chops congealed on the plate. The coffee cooled in the cups. “Lily Lou, nothing in the whole world could make me leave you—” “Or be sorry you married me?” “No, honey, nothing—” She laid her cheek next to his. “I believe you, Ken.” And afterward she thought, “That puts the responsibility up to me." They were so happy. So happy that sometimes she was afraid. Afraid it couldn’t last, and she couldn’t bear it if it didn't. She took care of the little apartment herself, went out and bought flowers from the venders on the streets. Came back and arranged them carefully, sorting and choosing with happy care. Red gladiolas on the library table in the brass opium bowl, great double-flowered white stock on the highboy in the little square hall, spicy white pinks with threads of purple in the Holland glass bow! on the table between their two silk draped beds in the large rose and walnut bedroom. May and Raymond came to dinner on Saturday night. “This is something like.” Raymond said, trying out the deepest armchair. He lit one of Ken's cigars. Since their marriage Ken had taken to smoking cigars. Lily !j>u knew, with a queer little lump in her throat, that it was because he thought they made him seem older. . . . Queer how much of his boyishness was slipping away from him. “Some day I’m going to have an electric icebox.” May war paying. She loved the little cubes, pored over the recipe book that went with it. “I’d make all kinds of frozen desserts if I had one. I could fix them in the mornings—" Lily Lou showed her everything with proud pieasur®. Her new clothes, not many, but nice. The pigskin dressing ease with the dark red fittings, that Ken had given her. . . . , |t was a lovely p-efling j ATter they bad gon*. Lily Lou realized, with a little shock of pain

A little timidly she asked Ken if there wasn’t someone he wanted to have for dinner and bridge “Sure. Maybe some night next week.” "Who, Ken? Who shall we have?” “I don't know, honey. I'll think of someone—” “Let’s have it the first part of next week!” She planned happily. Filet steak and green peas. Or was filet too expensive? But long before she had made up her mind, something happened, something that filled her with foreboding of tragedy <.O come. Ken was late again. He hardlytouched the beefsteak pie she had gone to so much trouble to make “Headache?” she asked, anxiously “A little. Yes—it does—” She sang to him softly after dinner. Little love songs, folk songs that he liked. She thought he seemed happier. Some time during the night she woke. She heard a queer, choking, strangling noise. "Ken—Ken—is that vou?’’ He did not answer. She went to his bed. reached nut to him in the darkness. She felt her hand wet with his tears. Ken Ken was crying. Lily Lou grasped the head of the bed, for support. The floor seemed to be giving way under her. She was afraid she was falling, falling through space, with the wind rushing by her closed eyes. But she knew she wasn’t. . She wasn’t the kind who faints, or finds comfortable ways out. She was just standing there, grasping the bedpost for a moment because she felt dizzy. There was no gaping dark hole to swallow her up, the way she wished it would. And Ken was lying face downward on his pillow, probably hating her because she'd waked up and knew he had sobbed. . . She didn't know what to do. Min utes passed. Ixmg, miserable minutes. The funny, strangling sound had ceased. She was suddenly desperate with loneliness. Anything but this terrible shut-out feeling . . anything but that. . . . “Ken!” Her voice was hardly more than a breath. “Ken—it’s Lily Lou. .. . Are you . . awake?” She waited, and there was no answer. Presently she crept back to bed. They were a little furtive and unnatural in the morning. She felt his awkwardness, and he felt hers. "He knows ... he knows I heard him cry,” she thought miserably, cutting the grapefruit, measuring the coffee with curiously capable hands. “Breakfast is almost ready Ken!” she called in a voice that was meant to be natural and gay, and sounded loud and tin-canny to her own over-sensitive ears. “Ready in a minute, honey,” he answered in the same tone. Lily Lou straightened the strip of embroidered linen on the built-i* table of the breakfast nook. Re- ; arranged the sugar and cream I pitcher.

Usually he took a glance at the front page, another at the sports section, then pushed it aside. Today he propped it up in front of him, read while he ate. There was something husbandly and settled about it. From her place across the table Lily Lou could just see the top of his head. His brown head, still damp from his shower. She bit her lip. to keep from crying out. Fear and anguish gnawed at her heart. But the paper comforted her ... he must feel settled and satisfied if he could eat his breakfast and read that way . . . sort as if the honeymoon were over maybe, but settling down . . . the loving husband. . . . He looked up suddenly. "You're awfully pensive this morning.” “I thought you were reading.” He struck the paper aside. “No, I wasn't reading.” “Another cup of coffee?” she asked hastily. He glanced at his watch. “Sorry, have to be on my way.” She went with him to the door, accepted his rather absent-minded kiss. After he was gone she practiced for an hour or two . . scales, breathing exercises . . . felt better. What a super-sensitive idiot she was turning out to be! Next thing, if she didn't look out, she'd develop nerves like May. or a weak back, like Bess, and have to take pills. . . . She laughed a little at that Decided to go down town and do a little shopping. She wanted some black darning cotton, for Ken’s soeks. and a new lipstick At the perfume counter in a drugstore on Grand avenue she walked right into Peggy Sage. No time to back out. to hastily look the other way. Peggy saw her, seemed to shrink back. too. Then with a nervous little laugh she held out both hands. "The bride! To think of meeting you here! My dear. I'm so glad to see you. Do have lunch with me. I'm alone, and starving—” Lily lx>u gulped. "I'd just love to. but—” She never finished the halting exeuse Peggy Sage hooked a small huf determined arm through hers. B'fore she knew just how it happened they were seated at a table in one of the Russian tea rooms, just off the avenue. "The Russian soup, with the sour cream?” The waitress’ pretty Slavic face was close to Lily Lou’a. She must have asked twice. “Yes. please," Lily Lou murmured hastily, though she hated sour eream, and didn't even want soup. The orchestra dinned happily, just back of them. Smoke rose in faint blue spirals from every table. Smartly dressed women, impervious ; to noise and crowding, knocked elbows with each other. Chatted id low, well-bred tones.

Why don’t you try this funny conserve? It’s good really. . . . And I said to Ken, 'I certainly' do wish you luck, boy!' and I do, my dear, and if there’s anything 1 can do. . . .” “That’s awfully sweet of you,” Lily Lou put in, stiffly. She made a pretense of eating her salad She felt awkward, and at a disadvantage. What rotten luck to bump into Peggy Sage, of ail people. . . And what a ninny to let herself be dragged off to lunch this way. Peggy just invited her to pump her about things . . . well, she wouldn’t find out much. . . . “Are you going somewhere exiting this summer?’’ she asked, and then settled back, pleased with herself because Peggy fell into the trap and rattled on about Maine, and somebody's camp. Lily Lou almost enjoyed her lunch. She admired the bright dishes, the colorful carvings, the strange Russian frescoes in the room- She studied Peggy’s printed silk dress, decided she wasn't so terribly pretty after all . . . her nose was really too large, and her eyes were too sharp. . . . “No, let me!” Peggy’s birdlike little hand closed over the check the waitress had left on the table with the dessert. Lily Lpu held her corner of it firmly. She knew it was silly, but she didn’t want Peggy to pay for their lunch. She wanted te pay for it, bMielf. “Please—” she begged —®e have it—” The eagerness must have showed in her face. “Just as you like,” Peggy said indifferently,
