"MARY FAITH" 1 I b y Beatrice Burton COPYRIGHT, 1931, BY KIHG FEATURES SYNDICATE, IHC.

SYNOPSIS Mary Faith, young and comely fiancee of Kimberley Farrell, handsome blond youth, just out of law school, leaves her position as secretary to the wealthy Mark Nesbit to marry “Kim.” Mary Faith receives a note from Kim's mother inviting her to dinner. Arriving late, due to Kim's delay, Mary Faith is greeted coolly by Mrs. Farrell. Kim is late and his mother insinuates he has other interests. CHAPTER IV “Well, he was gone all day, Mary Faith. He got up early in the morning and drove the car out of the yard before 1 was really awake. Why don't you ask him where he was all day and who was with him?—l'm oniy his mother, of course; but you have a right to know what he does with his time.” Mary Faith shook her head. She had a fine contempt for women who did not trust the men they loved —women like Mrs. Dan Bassett whose husband was shipping clerk at Nesbit's. . . . Dan Bassett never looked twice at any of the girls who worked in the building, but Mrs. Bassett gave him no peace. She was always popping in unexpectedly to see what he was doing and she kept the telephone wires hot on the nights when he worked late. "I’ll be no Mrs. Dan Bassett,” thought Mary Faith firmly. “1 wouldn’t want Kim to think I didn't trust him, Mrs. Farrell,” she said. "And that's just what he would think if I started to cross-question him about things like that. I know he wants to marry me, and that’s enough for me." Mrs. Farrell blew out the match she held and tossed it under the stove where there were a dozen or so burnt matches. It flared up and she set her foot on it. “He hasn’t any business wanting to marry you or any other girl just yet!” she said violently. “He owes me a little comfort. Here we are, struggling to get along on what he makes down in that law office—and lo and behold! he waltzes in and says he’s going to get married in two weeks 1 On what. I’d like to knowl On what?” “On his salary," Mary Faith re- ; plied, breaking eggs into the sizzling ’ pan “Sixty dollars a week is plenty of money for three people to live on ! comfortably. You and 1 can do every bit of the work around in this flat. We won't even send the laundry out ” "1 don't know why he wants to get married anyway," Kim’s mother went on. paying no attention to her. "I'm sure I don’t.” “Everybody wants to get married sooner or later, 1 suppose,” Mary Faith spoke as gently as she could. “You want to, you meanl” Mrs. Farrell turned on her suddenly, her plump face full of color. “Kimberley doesn't want to get married. He knows he isn't making enough money to keep up two homes and he knows I won't be happy when he brings you here to mine. Besides that, he’s running around ” She stopped talking as Kim | pushed the door open and stepped into the kitchen. He had changed his coat for a brown velveteen smoking jacket and a pipe was gripped between his teeth. “What's ail the row about?" he asked mildly. “And how about a little chow for a hungry man instead of all this talk?” His mother took a pitcher of cream from the top of the icebox and thrust it into Mary Faith's bands.

"Put that on the table. I’ll watch the eggs, Mary Faith. And pour the water. The pitcher’s on the sideboard.” Mary Faith carried the pitcher into the dining room where a droplight with a yellow glass shade hung over the table. She set it down on a German silver tray that was flanked by a cut-glass vinegar cruet and a bottle of meat sauce. "People can’t call themselves poor who live as comfortably as this,” she thought, glancing around the room. “Sixty dollars a week is a lot of money, if it’s properly handled." A German silver pitcher of water stood on the sideboard. When she picked it up she saw that it left a wet white ring on the polished wood. There were other faint white rings near it. No one could call Kim's mother a careful housekeeper, she found herself thinking as she began to fill the water glasses. Suddenly there was a crash and a loud scream from the kitchen. After that there was a second of dead silence. And then Kim’s voice calling her: “Mary Faith! Come here—hurry I” Somehow his mother had managed tn knnrk the coffee pot off the stove while she was taking the fried eggs from the pan. Streams of pale brown liquid were running down her arms and the front of her gray silk dress when Mary Faith opened the kitchen door. The coffee pot lay on its side on the floor. “My arms—oh, my poor arms,” she was sobbing hysterically. “Oh, my arms—” She began to moan, rolling'her large head from side to side. Kim was trying to roll her sleeves back from her wrists. “She’s scalded herself," he said, “with that red-hot stuff ” “It wasn’t red-hot, thank goodness!” Mary Faith broke in. “She had set it on the fire just two minutes ago. It couldn’t have been very hot. I was afraid she'd burn herself with the grease out of tha't pan. That would have been terrible. ... I’ll get some baking soda. There's nothing like it for burns.” She flung open the door of the untidy little cupboard above the sink. When she found the soda and swung around with the little blue box in her hands, Mrs. Farrell was trying to push Kim away from her. “No, you don’t have to do anything for me!" she was telling him, her voice shrill and shaken with sobs. “You've heard what she said—that coffee wasn’t hot. And you believe her! You think I screamed for nothing. 1 suppose, both ot you!” She flattened both her hands against his chest and freed herself from him. “I want you to let me alone!" she cried, pushing past him on her way to the kitchen door. She stopped there an instant, looking back at him with streaming eyes. “This is the way things will always ■ be now in this place — her wordi against mine! I tell you 1 won't i stand it I won't stay here! I’ll go i down to Lucy's and live there—” Her words were lost in a storm of i loud sobs. I She slammed the door of the I kitchen as she went out. Then after a half minute they heard the door I of her bedroom slam. Her face scarlet, Mary Faith bent : over and picked up the coffee pot. t “Kim. you can feel it yourself," 1 she said, holding it out to him. “It’s warm, that's all. But I'm sorry I I said anything about it. Only I was II glad she wasn't badly burned | Do you think it would help matters

if 1 went into tier room and apologized to her?" Kim shook his blond head. "Better let her alone.” he said shortly. He stood, leaning against the wall, and watched Mary Faith wipe up the puddle of the coffee from the floor with a damp gray rag that she found on a nail under the sink. When she had finished she came close to him and took one of hit hands in hers. She held it tight, twisting his big fingers around her slender ones. "Kim, when we’re married and I’m living here," she said, looking down at them, "things like this won't happen. I won't let them happen. I’ll make your mother like me." Kim gave a worried laugh. “You'll have your troubles,” he said, and then he added: "She'd be just like this with any girl I wanted to marry. It isn’t you she dislikes. .. . She just doesn’t want me to get married.” Mary Faith knew that what he said was true. Kim’s mother had divorced hit father when Kim was a little boy. With her alimony she had brought him up and educated him for the iaw. He had been, and still was, her whole life. When Kim was twenty-four his father died and the alimony stopped. But by that time he had a position in the law offices of Mclntrae and Westover in the City Bank Building downtown and was earning enough money to keep himself and his mother. He was still with Mclntrae and Westover and he was making twice the salary that he had made when he started to work for them. His mother was very proud of him. She didn’t want to give him up. She made no secret of the fact that she did not want Kim to marry for several years. She was ambitious for him and his career. Once or twice, in Mary Faith's presence, she had reminded him that "he travels the farthest who travels alone.” “Isn't it a funny thing that when two women love a man they almost always hate each other?" Mary Faith asked now, her hands on Kim’s shoulders. “Not that I hate your mother. I could love her, because she’s your mother, if she'd let me. . . . But she hates me, doesn’t she?" For answer he shrugged his shoulders. Then he turned away, emptied his tobacco into the sink strainer and dropped his pipe into hi* jacket pocket “My appetite’s gone,” he announced tullenly, "but I'll Uke you somewhere for a bite if you’re hungry There'S the barbecue over on Fifth Street and the tearoom down at the comer. Where do you want to go?” "I don't want to eat if you don’t,” Mary Faith said quietly, shaking her head. “Please get my hat and coat —they’re in your mother’s room, - Kim—and I'll go home. You stay 1 here with her." "No. I’ll take you home.” i They finally wound up, the two of them, by going back to Mrs. : Puckett's and having their dinner there. It was eight o’clock by the time ’ they got there and the dining room ' was almost empty. It seemed very cozy and peaceful with a coal fire t burning in the grate and the hum . of voices coming in to them from the parlor on the other side of the i hail. I (To Be Continued) Cepyrifht.
