SYNOPSIS Lovely, young Cathieen McCarthy tries to discourage the attentions of Seward Ingram, her employer's son because of social barriers, but he insists on seeing her. Seward presents Cathieen with an expensive bracelet. She plans to return it but her shiftless brother, Joe, steals the bracelet and pawns it for J.sOO. Cathieen tries to get an advance on her salary to retrieve the bracelet. Homer Alspaugh. Ingram's confidential secretary, insinuatingly offers her a loan and she is furious. Alspaugh speculates with his employer s money in -he hope of securing money to meet his faithless wife's extravagance. Marian Alspaugh is having an affair with the Marques d’Alhues. ~ . Arline Martin. an actress, tries to induce Ingram to finance a show written by her sweetheart. Ingram refuses and Arline threatens revenge. The { Marques d’Alhues offers the Russian royal rubies to Mrs. Ingram. CHAPTER XX When, a day or two later, the rubies were laid before her, she was a little disappointed at first by the inartistic settings. Also they were so large, it was hard to believe they were real. After she had handled them for a few moments, observed the lights in the stones, the steady fires in their heaits, she changed her mind and became enthusiastic. “They’d all have to be reset, of course,” she said. “They were worn like this, Mrs. Ingram, by Queen Maria in the Escorial.” “She’d be surprised, I imagine, to see what a modern jeweler can do with them. They’re beautiful stones! I'd like to have them, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness in 'first offering them to me. But I’ll have to talk to Mr. Ingram. You’ll wait, though, for my final answer before showing them to anyone else, won t you?” That evening, quite confidently, Laura spoke to her husband of the rubies. “It's a remarkable opportunity. Jasper. It isn’t every day royal jewels like these are offered for sale. They’re beauties.” “My dear, ordinarily I’d be deligbtod to get them for you, but I'm afraid it’s impossible just now.” “Now, Jasper? Why?” she demanded. "Business conditions are uncertain, you know. It’s not easy to lay your hands on ready money.” “But. Ja. per, a tiara, and a sort of mediaeval dog-collar! It’s the , opportunity of a life ti»c. Besides, they’re a sound investment. Surely half a million—” “Half a million! I’m sorry, Laura, but right now every dollar I can scrape up I can use. I’m taxing my resources to the utmost to gain ! control of enterprises that later on will make sneetaeular returns. People are selling out, letting go, all around. It s a time when power can be consolidated. Why. every day I pass up opportunities because I haven’t the money to take advantage of them. I'm extended now, more than I have any right to be. I walk up a. town my office saying to myself. “God! If I could only get hold of some money.” “If I don’t give the .Marques a favorable answer in a few days, he’ll offer the rubies to somebody else,” said Laura not in the least impressed by dismal statements. > "Somebody is going to buy them. Maybe Grace Allenby will. Os | course they’d look ridiculous on her.: but imagine my feelings, Jasper, | at the opera this winter, if I saw I her wearing the Infanta Josefa's rubies! I’d wear them with white lace, and a ruby velvet and ermine wrap—of course, not as a tiara and dog-collar. I'd have them made into a necklace and bracelets, I think, set so every stone wouid swing free. ■ It would be startling.” “Out of the question, my dear,” he said impatiently. “I simply can't do it.” Jasper had denied her requests so seldom that she %-as stunned and angry. She decided now that she had to have those rubies. In her eyes, they became more desirable than anything on earth. One way or another, she’d make Jasper get them for her. Or if he wouldn’t or couldn’t, maybe she could, herself, in some way raise the money. She I had to have them.

| Later, when her husband told her he was going to Chicago the next day, she was delighted. His absence would leave her free to develop her own financial plans. . When Cathieen heard that Ingram was going to Chicago, she was dismayed, for much of her work now was necessarily done in the private office adjoining his own and where she wouid be isolated and subject to annoyance from Alspaugh. Her relief was boundless when she discovered he was going to take Alspaugh with him. On the morning of their departure, she ensconced herself in the inner room for a long day of undisturbed work. More then a week had passed since she received Seward's present. Although the keenness of her distress had not lessened, the loss was no longer constantly in her thoughts. These were divided between attention to her work and self-congratulation over the emptiness of Alspaugh’s room. She was thus pleasantly occupied when a knock fell on the door and Seward came in. "Hello,” he said informally. "Good morning,” she replied, fighting to regain her composure. What could she tell hint about the bracelet? It could not be ignored, but she hadn’t the faintest idea what to say. He came over and sat on the edge of the desk. “They told me you were in here, all by yourself. What a break!” He was smiling and gay, yet the aural counterpart of the bracelet hung in the air between them. Wondering again what she could say, she all at once heard herself saying: "That present you made me, that night—it was too valuable. You know that. I must give it back to you.” “Oh, nonsense.” he said. “Os course you mustn’t do anything of the sort.” “It was wrong of you to give it to me. I didn’t know what was in the box until you’d gone. I should have mailed it, but I was afraid to put anything as valuable as that in the mail.” “Oh. forget- it. That happened a long time ago. I liked giving it to you and there are other things I’d love to give—” “Oh. no,” she cried. “You mustn’t give me anything else, ever—won’t you understand? When I saw what it was you’d given me, I hated you; yes, and I hated myself, too. Then I thought, maybe you didn’t mean it in a bad way. . . . But a gift has to be looked at from two sides. I’m a business girl, living on what I earn, with no decent way of getting sapphire bracelets. So it goes back to you, and with it the scolding you know yourself you will deserve.” “I’d rather you’d keep ’em both!” he said. "I’ve been crazy to see you. I didn’t want to come here, you know why, and besides you hadn’t asked me to come. I want you to go with me again—for a drive or something.” "I’d like that. It must be pretty in the country now. with the leaves beginning to turn.” "That's a date then? For next Sunday . , "That will be nice,” she said. But you know, I ought to be getting on with my work. Just because there’s nobody near to call me to account is all the more reason for being conscientious, isn't it;” "You want me to be on my way? What an inhospitable girl you are, Miss McCarthy! You’re not so con i scientious you don’t cat. arc you? ! When do you go out for lunch?” “No. no, Mr. Seward. I really mustn't do that. Please leave it till Sunday.” "All tight, if you insist,” he said, “but Sunday’s a long way off,” She was relieved when he had 'gone; yet the indirect lie she had I told him about the bracelet burned 1 deeply into her soul. She had implied that she still had his gift. He would expect her to have the bracelet Sunday and make an attempt to re’urn it. How could she get the bracelet out of the pawn shop? Or how could she explain to him her failure to give it back? In her distracted state, the hours at one time dragged and at ansther flew on winged feet. Thus Sunday came both fast and slow. Fast when her dilemma lay heavy on her heart ! and slow when she realized her 1 problem would be as pressing on

any Sunday in the future as it wa * right now No matter how hard she thought, she knew she would not think the bracelet out of the pawnshop and back into her possession. Several times she was on the verge of sending Seward a telegram telling him not to come. Then she went to early Mass on Sunday and remained to say a prayer to the Virgin. When she left the church her soul was less heavily weighted and she was determined to make a clean breast of the whole affair to Seward. That seemed the only way out, until she remembered how such a confession would involve Joe. Doubtless it would mean he would lose his job, at which he seemed to be doing so well after such a long period of idleness! At whatever hazard, she felt she must protect him. When Seward called for her a little after eleven o’clock, she met him with a brave smile and he was so happy to see her that it never occurred to him the smile was forced. It was a perfect day. The sun was high and warm and, as they escaped from the eity, as distant wooded ridges, blocked away at first by streets and houses, came near, they saw the fires of autumn in full blaze and a little song of pure ecstasy carolled in Cathleen's soul. Single trees in empty fields shook banners of gold, or stood sheeted in rose and flame. Exclaiming at first over every burst of rioting color, Cathieen fell silent after a while and a little subdued, too full of the unusual beauty in which she was drowning to give voice to tht emotions that lay to® deep for words. After a while they came to one of the ferries, crossed the Sound, to the mainland, and headed north. They drove through Poundridge, past the reservation, wild and bare of houses, hillsides flung up to display a chromatic grouping of every conceivable red and yellows, relieved by the occasional outcrop of ridges of granite. A reservoir spread its cool blue before them, ringed in dark pines, a jewel set in the close embrace of encircling hills. “When you work in an office all day and every day,” Cathieen said, “you’re in danger of forgetting this sort of thing is going on in the country around you all the time.” On the bridge at the foot of the reservoir, he stopped the car. They sat there, she gazing at the little landscape far below and the ridges beyond, he at her wistful profile against the sky. It was not that he did not appreciate the beauties of Westchester, but it seemed to him he could never get enough of looking at this girl. Constantly he was finding some touch of loveliness he had missed before. She had a bewitching contour of cheek and eyelid, and sweet, small, melting curves that gave life to her beauty. She was so absorbed in the view that for a long time he did not have to look away. Sated at last with the gorgeous panorama, she turned toward him and the boy caught himself back from dangerous speculations, and drove on again. Their plan was to drive till they were hungry, stopping for a pienic lunch in some wild spot, and then, leaving the car and the paved road, strike out for a goed walk. The crisp day invited to exercise, and she said she adored walking. "I’m glad you do,” Seward said. “Hardly anybody seems to. I met some English people in the south of France, when I was a kid, and they used to take me on long tramps up into the mountains. It was great. You see so much more of the country that way.” But lunch, provided, at her insistence. by Cathieen, came first. She had spent a good part of Saturday afternoon preparing the lunch. She had baked a fluffy cake with an orange icing and stuffed eggs and made sandwich fillings of different flavors. She had bought white seedless grapes and big red plums. There was excellent hot coffee in the thermos bottle. They ate in the dappled shade of a small grove of maples, springing haphazardly from a tumble of great boulders. Below them the rock pasture fell away to a small lake, on the other side of which rose hills tapestried with hot color and beyond them another range in cigarettesmoke blue.
