WHAT HAS CONE BEFORE. Life to pretty Ardeth Carroll meant working in a shop, an unhappy home with her aunt, and the courtship of Neil Burke, to whom marriage would mean a continuance ot her drab existence. When fate in the guise of the socially prominent Jeanette Parker, offers her the charge of a shop she is opening, Ardeth accepts. Her happiness knows no bounds when she meets her idol, Ken Gleason, often seen with Cecile, Jeanette’e younger sister. Ardeth and Ken see much of each other. Announcement of Ken's engagement to Cecile stuns Ardeth. Ken denying his engagement, explains it is his mother’s wish that he marry Cecile. He confesses his love for Ardeth. Unable to oppose his mother, Ken hopes to win her approval of his marriage to Ardeth. Neil quarrels with Ardeth about Ken. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.

CHAPTER XV. z/TTES —he’s slaving!” came V Neil’s bitter answer. “Got an easy berth in old Parker's office and going to get solid in the firm by marrying the boss's daughter. And in the meantime he thinks he can have a good time with my girl. I’ll show him where he’s going to head in ” •■You—bully! If you try to see him I—l’ll —” She blazed at him through the uncertain light, eyes and teeth agleam like a small outraged cat. „ „ Suddenly she was flung flat against him, held by his arm as rigid and uncompromising as a steel bar. His teeth showed in a smile which held no mirth, his eyes burned down at her from their shadowy sockets: “You what? You’ll give him up if you know what’s good for you. Think you can throw me over whenever you please” A door up at the head of the stairs suddenly opened, rending a glare of light leaping down the stairwell, painting black, angular shadows of balusters on the grimy plaster walls, flinging into relief their struggling, locked figures. Angry U ords. Aunt Stel’s voice sounded, harsh with anger: “Ardeth Carroll come up here right off! What time of night is this to be gettin* in an’ waking the whole house?” Ardeth thrust Neil violently away and went up the stairs burning with rage and shame. Wearing a black scowl, the man followed. They faced each other in the blaze of the living-room chandelier. Aunt Stel had evidently just arisen from her Y ir i u ° u ? couch, for .he kimono of faded irises did not quite conceal the end of a much faded nightgown and her front hair was wound on two stout wire hairpins to provide a rigid wave the next day. Neil stood beside her, his long arms folded* tightly against his tall, lean body. His face was paper white and his eyes ?J’ er ? very black under his thick, black bf Ardeth stood before them with Naming cheeks, her slender body taut with excited anger. Aunt Stel’s eyes went heavily over the girl, much as a lumbering wagon would crush a moth. “So, you finally decided to come home, did you?” Her voice was thick with scorn. Remembered you had a good, decent home to eom. to, when you got good an ready 1 An’ me, like a fool, keep.n your dinner hot in the oven till about dinner. Aunt Stel,” the girl said with stiff lips“l know I should have telephoned, but—but I lost all track of time ’’ „ “Yes, I can believe that. Aunt Stel’s lips were a thm line. “You forget most things since you’ve started chippying around with your rich beau! I dare say that isn’t all he’s made you forfiTCt •” * Th“ girl befijrc her blazed with

sudden wrath. “That's horrid! I’ve done nothing I’m ashamed of and you’ve no right to talk to me like that! It’s nobody’s business but our own if we love each other!” She stopped, swept by a guilty sense of betrayal. Putting it in words like this made it sound so bleak. . . . This love of theirs—so newly confessed—so delicate. . . . Flinging it out before Aunt Stel’s skeptical face was like handling a butterfly with clumsy fingers. “Oh, so you love each other, do you!” Aunt Stel’s words were freighted with sarcasm. “Failin’ for all his fine promises, aren’t you. Like Nellie Ross. She had plenty of times to remember her sweetie’s fine words, an’ so'll you have ”

■> «C “Yes— he's slaving!’* came Neil’s bitter answer.

“Stop—you!” Ardeth blazed at her in such white-faced fury that her aunt automatically blinked. Nellie Ross ... as a youngster of eight Ardeth had seen Nellie wheeling her heavy-headed baby in the sun of the Panhandle. There had been a strange elusive secret about Nellie Ross. The big boys had snickered and whistled as she went by. The big girls had gathered in intense knots in doorways, discussing something mysterious from which they had barred Ardeth. But she remembered, and later she knew . . . Now, slightly sick, choking with anger, miserably aware that Paul had roused from sleep on the lounge and was drinking 1n the scene with one scarlet ear, she defended herself. “You have no right to say that to me, Aunt Stel. I didn’t want to say anything so—so soon, but —well, Ken and I are engaged. We're going to be married —soon —so, you sea!” “Married!” hotly, from Neil. “Married!” a derisive cackle from Aunt Stel. ' Well, let me tell you, young lady, you’re not pulling the wool over my eyes! Bet knows ail about your fine sheik—there’s a girl works in her

office has a aister in Parker’s office, and your Mr. Gleason isn’t engaged to marry you, because he’s going to marry his boss’s daughter. He’s like many another rich young fellow —takin’ his fun with a poor girl before he marriex a rich one. More fool you for falling for his fine talk!” “I suppose Bet knows more about it than —than Ken or—or me!” said Ardeth in a stifled voice. She felt weak and sick. Aid dreadfully alone. “At any rate, she’s not such a fool as you! Aa’ here’s one thing you’re going to learn, my lady. If you’re going to stay on here, you're going to give up this chasin’ about at night Come home this hour again an’ you’ll find my door locked!” Hazel eyes glowing with hot, tawny lights ... So bright those eyes of Ardeth, with burning pride, that the others blinked as her gaze swept their faces. Leaving Home. Her voice was husky. Smothered with the tremendous effort to keep it steady. “All right. If that’s the wav you feel about me, Aunt Stel, I'll save you the trouble of locking the door. I’ll leave here tomorrow. I’ll get a place of my own

where no one—can insult me—” She felt hot tears coming an i turned swiftly before they should see them. “A’deth!” She heard Neil speaK as she reached her bedroom door, but she went in and closed it behind her. The dark room, swimming before her dazzled eyes after the glare of the other. As she pulled off her clothes with cold hands, her vision gradually cleared. The window grew out of the blackness, a gray rectangle—curtains looped back and blowing in the night wind. The street light seeping in showed a dark bulk in the bed. Bet—breathing in carefully simulated sleep. But Ardeth knew that Bet had been lying tense, straining to the sound of the angry voices in the other room. They all hated her . . . they would be glad to have her go . . . She tried to plan as she crept in quietly beside the motionless Bet. A hotel room —something inexpensive. She could manage that until such time as she and ke» could be married. The thought ci him brought a warm, sweet reeadty to overlay her anger. She drifted tc sleep serene in the memory of him.
