M gj— - ,r ~ ~~ CHAPTER XXVIII "Working, Stuart?" Julie asked. “Not yet. ... Oh, those sketches —1 wired the soap people I had a new idea for an ad. They wired back to send along a sketch. So now T’ve got to find an idea." “Those old ads!” she gasped, indignantly. “Why should you have to do those any more? Didn t she give you any money— ?” "Certainly not!" he snapped. “As I told you once before, I don’t need to take money from a woman —to live.” “I know! But it just seems wicked; she used you as long as she wanted you—and then threw you over for her old sweetie —” ■'Hush, Julie. You don’t understand—" ... “No I don’t!” Jo!:» persisted shrilly. “I’d think she’d give you a half million or so, just so she could look herself in the face—-” “Nonsense! Tiou don’t know what you’re talking about. We won’t discuss it, if you please.” He was frowning, plainly irritated. She calmed down instantly. Now she had put her foot in it! How could she get him to smile a , her again? She had forgotten her big news! She jumped up quickly and ran out to the screen porch to get her inake-up box. See, Stuart, she said, pulling a legal paper out of the box as she came back to him. "Contract, Julie?” "Uh-huh. I haven’t signed it yet. Two years with options. Look at this about the second year.” A glittering, pointed finger nail indicated-he clause. “A starl M’hy, Julie, that s splendid!” “If the public likes me. “They will. Youre sure to make goed.” Hi patted her shoulder. “Al! your dreams coming true!” Julie stayed and got dinner for him, found some half-burned candles and put them on the table as of old. There was a bit of cheese and a package of macaroni and some left-over meat, so she concocted a casserole a la Itnlisnne. I She was happier than she had been for many months and Stuart did ■ full justice to the spread. After dinner Julie came and plumped herself down on his lap before the fire. “Darling. I’d rather have you i than all the careers in the world!” “No you wouldn't, really, Julie. I’m just an old stick-in-the-mud. You’re already used to the glitter 1 of success.” She did not answer, but lay there against his shoulder looking at the I fire and thinking. “Stuart,” she said at last softly, "will vou marry me?” “What!” He made her sit up and looked at her, frowning. “T mean it. I-I’ve always wanted you—” Her eyes were glowing and ardent. “Why Julie!” He took her face i in his hands and looked into her . eyes a long minute. “You actually ; care enough about me— to throw over that magnificent contract to be a star? I can’t believe it!” She dropped her eyes. “But that wouldn't make sense, Stuart. Os course I'd go on working—” “Oho!” His arms relaxed. “But listen, darling. I’m going I to make a whale of a lot of money’. Not as much as she has, of course. But Jots! And I want to share it with you. I want you to escort me ■ when I go to openings in my ermine coat. You look so distinguished, Stuart. And you ore distinguished I —in your line. It'd be a lot better publicity for n e to marry an artist than just another screen actor. You could in't go on painting and ' painting. Ami you’d never need to i worry about money—l'll make plenty for us both—” She ran out of breath and was suddenly disturbed by the satiric twinkle'in the blue eyes surveying her. “So—r.o-.v you’re getting to be Queen —■ -i. want a prince consort, eh, little Julie?” “I wsr.t—you.” He shook his head, still smiling. “I don’t, fit the role at all, Julie.” Then his face tightened and he spoke rapidly, decisively. “I’m going to be free presently. And I’m not going to be another prince con- : sort. If I ever marry again, I’m I going to support my wife myself, by’ the labor of my hands, if necessary. And that's that!” ; He put her off ii.s lap and strode ! up and down the mom, hands in his ■ pockets, hair ruffled, blue eyes blazj ing. Julie walked slowly over to the contract lying on 'he tabic. She picked it up !:> trembling hands and looked from ;t tn the fire. In a rush of feeling for Stuart she was al-

She tucked the contract away in her make-up box and went to Stuart, clinging to his hands, smiling at him. , "Never mind, darling, you re sore becauwi of the raw deal th&i s been handed you. And I don t blame you a bit. M e won t talk about getting married—now. Lots can happen before I get to be a star, anyhow.” Mr. and Mrs. Kent Damerell conimuted back and forth across the

land in airplanes and across the seas on fast liners, following the sports and tournaments and seasons of the fashionable world. Sharlene was accustoming herself to abrupt changes in Kent’s schedules as the whim seized him. They rarely came back to California. Kent liked the south of France better. Sharlene. who loved to go places because of the people she knew all over the sane of the globe, found that now she travelled in order to see a football classic in the Yale Bowl, or a regatta on the Thames, or the races at Longchamps. She did not care particularly for such sports, but she did care about seeing Kent happy. Often she was inconvenienced—and sometimes bored—but she never let him know that. So, when Kent went tarpon fishing off the coast of Florida, Sharlene went, too, not. because she enjoyed the tremendous battle with the fish, but merely because he wanted her with him. They set out with a guide, one dark night, when the sky was overcast, in a rowboat. It was Kent’s theory that the noise of a motor warned the tarpon away. They anchored under the shadow of a beautiful key, covered with mangroves. Kent sat there for hours, tense and alert, watching his light rod and line, lighter than most, because he liked heavy odds against him when he fought a fish. Sharlene curled up and slept most of the time, but roused toward morning to consider the far-o.f lonely stars. Presently she turned her head and glanced at Kent. “Never mind watching for that old fish, Beloved. Something far more marvelous is happening!”

But Sharlene persisted m her serious mood. “Kent —sometimes 1 wonder what you and I are doing to help along the flow of solution. “Huh? We’re doing our best te retard it, I hope, and having a swell time doing it!” “Silly. .. • But, I mean, what are we here for?”

“I’d say—it was the result of parental will and good luck.” “I didn’t ask uhy. I asked: IT/mt for O' “There’s an answer to that, too, but this is hardly the place to demonstrate or the time—” His lazy, smiling mien vanished he felt a" slight tug at his line. He leaned forward, breathless. Sharlene shared his moment of excitement, but presently they both relaxed again to wait. She sighed gently. “Stars—and the dawn coming—they make me think—” “Don’t! Leave that to the brainy ones who aren’t as ornamental as you are. If you want to know what you were made for—why to be my wife! How’s that?” She reached up and kissed him fervently. “I know it, and it’s good enough for me!” Sharlene meant that with.all her heart. She wanted to make up to him for the lost years, for her lack of faith. She longed to blend herself into his personality. She was obsessed with the splendor of giving. . . For Cora, she had no jealousy, thinking only how noble Kent had been. She was making a hero of him, imagining him far more kindly and tender with Cora than it was possible for Kent to be. She imagined him treating Cora as Stuart Pennington would have done under like circumstances. Kent was happily unaware of his status of hero. He would have been embarrassed and annoyed if he had known. But he was having a good time. He had Sharlene at last and a new zest for all the sports. <To Be Continued)
