SYNOPSIS Young and beautiful St ante? Paige loses her fortune through market speculation but a hardet blow eomes when her fiance, th« fascinating, irresponsible Drew Armitage, tells her it would be madness to marry on his income and leaves town. Penniless and broken-hearted. Stanley refuses to seek aid from her wealthy friends. Desiring to make her own way, Stanley drops out of her exclusive circle and rents a cheap furnished room. After a week of loneliness and trying to adapt herself to her poor surroundings, Stanley calls on Nigel Stern, one of her society friends, and ask his aid in securing a position. Nigel urges her to marry the handsome and wealthy young lawyer. Perry Deverest. who has loved her devotedly for years, but Stanley's heart is with Drew. Nigel suggests that she think it over, and then, if she still wants a position, he will try to place her. Stanley docs not go back to Nigel, realizing it would mean meeting her old friends. One day, while sitting in the park, a young man speaks to her. She tells him he is ingenuous. CHAPTER TWENTY “Let’s see, ingenuous—that means artless, sincere, honorable —” “Heavens, all that!” “Os course.’’ he nodded, grining briefly, “Roget's Thesaurus.” “What?” Stanley frowned at him a hit blankly. “Roget's—but you wouldn’t—it’s a sort of writer’s dictionary. I’m ; a writer, you see.” “Oh, that explains you, perhaps.” ] She spoke slowly, wrinkling her ' forehead at him a bit. “Writers are , —different, aren’t they? I've never known any before.” < “Neither have I,” he admitted i quickly, “but this one is blue and ' discouraged and lonely as hades. • You don’t look any too happy your- , self,” he added swiftly, swinging | the conversation back to her. ; “I’m not. I haven’t been for some i time.” ; “I’m sorry. Could I do anything perhaps—” He stared at her in- | tently, his voice shy, a little un- i certain. 1 She shook her head. He was nice, ; this awkward young man. “No. It’s 1 just that things have broken wrong with me.” ; “If it’s money—” “No, it isn’t money, exactly.” And then she laughed shortly, a lit- ( tie huskily, because of course, it i was money, in away. “Someone—you cared for per- ; haps?” She pushed Drew out of her < mind, answered briefly, “Yes — that’s it.” “I’m sorry. I guess I knew it all along—that something had hit you hard, that you’d been terribly hurt » She smiled at him a little wearily. “I suppose being a writer you study people—sort of dissect them » I “Os course not—it was just—oh, I don’t know—" He broke off awkwardly, took off his hat, ran his fingers through his rumpled brown hair. Then he smiled at her a bit pleadingly. “It’s just there—that’s all. In your eyes, when you smile; around your mouth, as if you had cried a lot and now, quite suddenly, you couldn’t cry at all!” He stopped, blushed furiously, looked away from her. “You should be a very goofl writer—apparently you’re vey intuitive. Or perhaps it’s just that I was too tired to bother with rouge and lipstick—and I haven’t had any ' dinner.” “You haven’t? Don’t you want some? We could go some place—” She shook her head. “It’s too hot to eat—-it’s too hot to do anything much.” A bus rumbled through the Arch

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1934.

fieri Dollfuss had arranged a five | hour truce period. , Every few minutes during the morning over the wireless sent out the voice of the government, pleading, warning, urging wives t«>, • save their husbands’ lives by ap i pealing to them td surrender. It was to no effect. The govern- , I ment announced alter the expiration of the amnesty period that many Socialists had surrendered. > Many had. for there were whits flags on many workmen's homes

and drew up a few feet away from them. He bent to her suddenly. ■ "Let’s go for a ride—it’ll be cooler up there under the sky. Will you?” “Why not?” She caught somee thing of his excitement, for a mo- * ment she forgot to be weary and * sore-hearted. She ran with him to- * ward the bus. climbed the twisted d stairs a bit breathlessly, sank be--0 side him into a seat near the front. ’’ They were alone up there under ’’ the soft, black sky, except for a * young couple in the rear, who sat “ closely together frankly making s love. r She took off her hat and ran her s fingers through her hair, closed her r eyes for a moment. When she opened them, he was staring at her. His ’ eyes were very eager, very intent, ' and a little wistful. He looked away ’ at once, terrifically confused. ’ She liked hi m for being con- ■ fused, for looking away like that. 1 She wanted suddenly to be kind to 1 him, to reach out and squeeze his ’ hand and say to him: "Don’t be afraid of me. I understand all about you — how shy you are and how honest and how terribly embarrassed. And I like you because you are like that.” She said, instead: “I suppose you > have a name? I have. It’s Stanley— ' Stanley Paige.” “It’s pretty,” he said simply, < bringing his eyes back to her, < thanking her a little for her kind- ! ness. “I think it suits you.” ’ “And yours?” 1 “Northrup—John Harmon North- > rup.” She repeated it slowly. Then, > said: “John Harmon—that would J be right—not just ‘John’ but John s Harmon. I think I’ll call you that. ' Tell me about yourself,” she demanded suddenly, "everything.” ’ He laughed briefly, a little self- • consciously. "There’s nothing to tell. What do you want to know? 1 That I came from Vermont, that I H worked in a bank, that three 1 months ago I sold a story for three s hundred dollars and jacked my job t and came to New York, that I was a fool to give up a sure thing for t a crazy dream.” “But were you?” interrupted Stanley quietly. “I think dreams ! are very important. I had one once, r but 1 lost it somehow—” For a f moment she was back on a high hill above a distant sun-splashed t valley, dreaming a dream—a sweet, s mad, impossible dream, a dream of t happiness yet to come. t “Isn’t that the trouble?" he ask- t ed quickly, his eyes frowning in- c tently. “With dreams, I mean? We s have them and we live for them— s and then we lose them and—” He J shrugged, his mouth smiling a bit t crookedly. “It’s hades, isn’t it?” t She nodded. “But you haven’t ( lost yours, have you? You wanted to write, didn’t you? To come to t New York? Well, you have—and ‘ you did. What’s wrong with your > dream?” “It was all right as far as it ' went. 1 did want to w-rite. All my 1 life, I’ve wanted to, without really daring to believe I could. You see, < it’s like this." He leaned toward < her, his voice intent on what he was 1 telling her. “I come from a little > town up in Vermont, where you grow up and become a lawyer or a furniture store man, or raise cows 1 and go to the legislature or become i a bootlegger and make money but you don’t grow up and write books. ' It’s just not done, that’s all.” He ' smiled at her briefly. “So I went to work in the bank; but all the time I wrote—l had to, you see. And finally I got up courage enough to send some stuff to magazines. It came back—as fast as I sent it ouu it came back. I guess every time I got a rejection slip, I died a little death But then, I sent out a story —and it didn’t come back. I got a check for it instead. And I gave up the job in the hank and came down here. You see, I was going to write —how I was going to write I sup-

I But there were >nany more in the fight, chancing quick clean death in action or cold death In the nooae. The period of grace over, gov- ! ornmwit forces massed to go into I action across the great Raichs bridge that is at the end of a seriez of straight streets from the inner city, to execute the threat of extermination against the Socialists across the river. Then the Socialists' challenge to a finish fight came in volleye

r pose 1 thought ail 1 had to do wa? . get a room and a typewriter and r let New York and my newly dis- ’ covered genius do the rest. I sup- - pose I also thought that three bun- • dred dollars would last .forever." I His eyes were drawn together in • dark scowl but his mouth grinned I at her, and at himself, deliberately, “Fortunately, 1 can count on fifty . dollars a month from the farm my • father spent his life paying for. i It’s lucky, because 1 haven’t sold ; another thing, and now I find 1 can't even write. So. you see, I have sort of shattered the dream.” “1 don’t see that at all,” she told him gravely. "I expect you’ve just been alone too much—and it hasn't been good for you. If you wrote one story that an editor liked well enough to buy, you can do it again. It doesn’t make sense any other way, do you think ?” “That’s what I’d like to think, al! right. I suppose that's really what 1 Ido think.” He smiled at her sud- 1 denly, a bit bewilderedly. “It’s < funny how I can talk to you like this. I’ve never been able to talk ( about it, before, to anyone, and I ; don’t know you ” f “Which quite likely explains it ] all,” Stanley told him quickly. “Be- ; cause you don’t know me you can be yourself. After all there’s something nice about strangers. You don’t have to pretend with them, you can say about anything you want to because you know it won’t make any difference, that you’ll never see them again ” “But I'd hate to think it was going to be like that with—us. Do you want it to be that way?” He spoke abruptly, quite without thinking, and it was not until the words hung there between them that he was conscious of them and of their impetuous insistence. She was staring at him intently. ; Now she saw his face flush swiftly, i saw his eyes blur with embarrass- > ment but refuse to look away. She spoke slowly. She said: “No, I don’t believe I do.” At the next stop he suggested that they get off and have some- | thing to eat. Stanley agreed. “You’ve done me a lot of good,” she told him, “you’ve even made i me hungry. I haven’t been hungry for a long time.” They found an almost deserted restaurant and a girl with red hair and shellacked fingernails brought them coffee and egg sandwiches. In the brilliant light of the enormous room they scrutinized each other quite frankly, confirming impressions already made. “She’s young and sort of tired looking,” thought John Harmon, trembling a little at the intimacy of being with her in all this dazzling light, “and her eyes are lovely and her mouth is sad.” He leaned toward her across the ' table, smiled at her, said abruptly: j “Nobody’s ever bothered with me much. I’m awfully grateful to you.” “When you smile like that, it’s very easy to bother with you. You have a nice smile, John Harmon.” He lifted one eyebrow whimsically; it was a little way he had of doing when he was discounting himself. “It ought to be nice. I’ve ! never used it much, I’m afraid.” “You mean?” He shrugged, his eyes leaving hers. "Nothing much. Except that I’ve always been pretty much alone —and I haven’t always liked it. If my mother had lived, things would have been different, better for me. My father never had much use for me. He died last year. I haven’t missed him much. That explains everything, I expect. A man ought to miss his father, don’t you I think?" She nodded. She was thinking swiftly that she had never missed | hers much either; and that very i likely it did explain a lot.
