'MARY l'\l III" 1 I b y Beatrice Burton COPYRieHT, 1931, BY KfHG fSATURES SYNDICATE, INC.

SYNOPSIS Mary Faith and Kimberley Farrell have been engaged for some time. Mary Faith, beautiful young orphan, gives up her position as secretary to Mark Nesbit when Kira sets their wedding date. His attitude changes brusquely when his mother objects. The latter treats Mary Faith coldly. Heartbroken, Mary Faith returns to her office and breaks the news to her co-workers. Mark, taken ill, has Mary Faith driven to his country home, daily, for two weeks. He tells her of his love for her. She halts him saying she will never love anyone as she did Kim. While in a jewelry store with Mark, selecting a Christmas ring for his sister. Mary Faith meets Kim with a girl. Next morning Kim calls at Mary Faith’s boarding house. He assures her of his love and proposes immediate marriage. Mary Faith melts in his arms. Mary Faith tells Mark she is leaving to marry Kim. CHAPTER XV He crossed the room and stood beside her, looking down at her and shaking his head. “I hope you’re not leaving because of—last night,” he said. "There’s no reason why you should leave, Mary Faith. We’re still good friends, aren't we? We can go on working together, can't we?” Mary Faith stood helplessly wondering how to answer him. “How on earth can 1 tell him I'm going to be married?” she asked herself. "I can't,” she decided. “Not when he likes me the way he does.” She stooped and picked up the hatbox. ’’l've made up my mind to leave,” she said awkwardly, and because she had begun to feel as if she were going to cry, her voice was cold. She turned toward the door. “Well. I'm sorry, .Mary Faith. And, look here, if you ever want to come back we re always waiting ior you. You’ll remember that, won’t you?” She nodded. “And there's something else—” He put his hand on the knob of the door. “I want you to know that you can always count on me if you need me for anything. You know how 1 feel about you, Mary Faith, and I’m not going to change.” He held the door open for her and stood watching her as she went across the big empty office and vanished dowm the stairs. Mary Faith and Kim were mar ried at high noon in the chapel of the Church of the Heavenly Rest. December sunlight came in through the high, stained-gla-s windows and laid its bright finger on the pages of Dr. Pomeroy's prayer J>ook as he began to read the marriage service: "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together in the sight of God to join together this man and this woman.” Mary Faith had tight hold of Kim's hand and her eyes were on his face. “Dearly beloved, I wonder if you know how happy I am to be standing here Reside you at last!” she said to him in her heart w'hile tlie minister went on with the beautiful and simple words that were binding them together. Kim. being Kim, had forgotten to buy the wedding ring, and Claire Maldon had let him take hers for the ceremony. Mary Faith looked down at it as Kim slipped it over her finger and found herself wondering what he had done with her engagement ring "I II never ask him about it." she made up her mind. In all probability he had taken it back to the jewelry store where he had bought it. He was always m need of money.

■ Welt, she would see to it that he saved part of hts money from now Jon. ‘he told herself. She was a good . manager. Hadn't she saved eighteen j hundred dollars herself during the ! last lour years? She thought com- , iortably of them tucked away in her savings account downtown. “I can buy lots of little things for the house.” In her mind she went , through the dingy Wilton Street ] flat, putting up new white curtains , in the sitting room, setting the din-ing-room table with a set of Indian ] Tree china, tacking down shiny new ] blue-and-white linoleum on the ) kitchen floor. Her fingers fairly ( itched to get at that flat and make , it a brighter place for Kim. He was turning to her now and ) Dr. Pomeroy was beaming at them j both as he closed his prayer book. , Claire and Jack Maldon came up ) to them from the shadows where . they had been standing. Claire’s bright blue eyes were on Kim’s face and she was smiling broadly at him. She laid one of her white-gloved hands on his shoulder. I "Well, Sandy,” she asked him, I "how do you feel now that it's all over ?" Kim laughed. “I feel just like a i married man,” he said. “That serv- ■ ice certainly does tie you up for life, , doesn't it?—‘Till Death us do part.' : That’s quite a line, isn’t it?” Claire turned her eyes to Mary , Faith. “Now that you're safely married, could 1 please have my wed- , ding ring?" she asked. “They say . it's bad luck to take off your wedding ring, and this is the first time , I've had mine off since Jack put it on last October. I keep it on even . when I wash dishes.” She talked constantly. She talked ’ all the way into the registry where . Mary Faith and Kim wrote their . names in a book filled with the names of other brides and grooms and all the way out of the shadowy old church into the sunlight. ( “Sandy,” she said to Rim as they . stood in the street beside Kim's t shabby little roadster. “We brought you and Mary Faith a wedding present and put it in the back of your , car. It's a package of books—all the new novels that looked good to us. We. knew they'd be life-savers for ! you down in that dead little town ) where you’re going." She had a light, pretty voice that was like a very simple piece of music. I “You don’t believe what T’m tellt ing you,” it rippled on, "but in a ■ week or so you two will be so bored with each other that you'll yawn every three minutes by the clock. f You’ll wish you’d never seen each other. . . . Jack and 1 scrapped all , the time we were os our honeyI moon, didn't we, Jack?” f Jack Maldon, a tall, dark, quict- - mannered young man, grinned and . said ndthing. , “Well, we did whether he admits ( it or not,” said Claire. "We fought . like two strange bull-dogs. . . . You see, we thought we wanted to be all j by ourselves, just the way you do. 1 So we went 'way up into the North Woods, miles from everywhere. And t four days after we got there it began to rain. It just poured! And we p didn't hive a thing to read or even p a deck of cards! It was ghastly! I Next time 1 get married I’m going to Atlantic City or Palm Beach or ’ some other crowded spot for my a honeymoon, and no fooling!” p She clung to her busband's arm r and waved her hand at them as they I drove off. r "When you get lonesome come back to town and <all up the Malr dons!” Her voice floated after them through the clear bright air. “Don't e forget, Sandy!” - The graysblue shadow • of late t. afternoon lay acress the snow wlaea j Mary Faith and Kun drove into the

main street ol Gat rcttsville —* "the main drag.” as Kim called it. It was a long narrow street lined with little shops—a candy store called The Sugar Bowl, a White front Meat Market, a Five-and-Ten filled with tinsel and toys, a jewelry store that reminded Mary Faith that she had no wedding ring. Kim parked the car at the little telegraph office and they sent off two day letters—one to his mother and one to Mrs. Puckett. "Now, then, we've done our duty,” Kim said when they came out into the snow and sunshine once more; “and we can forget the rest of the world for two solid weeks, Mrs. Farrell.” The world that Mary Faith had always known already seemed very far away. Was it only last night that she had sat talking to Mrs. Puckett in the house on River Street? Only this morning that she had said goodbye to Mark Nesbit in her old office in the Nesbit Building? It seemed ages ago. . . . Aunt Ella Goad's brown shingle house stood at the top of a little hill half a mile beyond Garrettsville. Snow lay deep on its porches and along the tops of its diamond-paned windows. A silver fringe of icicles hung from its low-pitched roof and on either side of it stood a tall fir tree. "It isn't a real house at all. It’s a picture on an old-fashioned Christmas card, Kim, and I know it!” Mary Faith declared as they drove up the hill and into the drifts of the backyard. “It's old-fashioned, all right. There isn't even a gaiage," Kim said dryly. He always seemed etnbarrased when Mary Faith made extravagant statements or quoted poetry to him. "The car. will probably freeze, standing in that woodshed all night." ' He set the suitcases and the Maidens’ books on the back porch and unlocked the door. The kitchen was filled with a faint ’ spicy smell as if gingerbread had often been baked in it. and the low red sun shining in through the west windows made it seem very bright and cozy. There were rag rugs on the floor and a big cushioned rocker ■ stood near the stove. Mary Faith stood in the very middle of it, enchanted. “Did you ever see such a lovely : kitchen in all your life!" She turned wide starry eyes to Kim. “And look at the wall paper in the dining rooml i All little Chinese pagodas and boats! I Why, this house is just a house of a i dream, isn't it?" "Is itr" Kim asked. He had no i eyes for the little house. He had I come up beside her and his arms • were around her, holding her so close that she seemed to feel the quick ■ heavy drumming of his heart in her I own heart. She sighed, lifting her face to him. > “You're happy here with me, t aren’t you, Mary Faith?" i “Kim,” she said with a throbbing 1 note in her voice, “Kim, I’m never happy unless I am with you.” i • « • ’ For two weeks both of them were ) gloriously happy with a happiness that Mary Faith had never dreamed ] of. The days were gone before they ' knew if, and yet all of them were f pretty much alike. Every morning Mary Faith went 1 ddwnstairs as soon as it was light and made the coffee. She made it as 1 she had learned to make it at the ' Business Woman's Club cooking classes, with hot foamy milk, and c carried it upstairs on a tray. She and Kim would sit up in bed in their bathrobes and drink it, telling each * other with great contentment that this was the. life! (To Bs* Cocuouad i e „ €•*>right.
