CHAPTER XXIX. r|ECILE flung off Ken’s hand. “Don’t you quote the doctor at me! I don’t give a single pin for you or the doctor, no, nor the darn baby. It had no right to come. 1 don’t want it! It’s unfair—unfair ” Two hectic spots burned in her cheeks. Storms raged in her eyes. He fought to keep his own temper. "Well. . .let’s forget it, dear. 1 don't want to get you excited. Anyway, we don’t have to decide now.” ‘‘Oh, we don't!” she mocked. “Well, we will! I’ll show you I’ve decided. I’m going to run down to Coralie’s today, and I'm going alone! And I’ll come back when I please and not before!” She rang the bell for the maid and when the girl appeared she curtly ordered her to pack the grips. But in the living room Ken paced the floor scowling and uncertain. No use trying to stop her. They'd had too many of these scenes lately. Cecile would only fly into a tantrum. . .get herself all worked up. . .the doctor .-aid to keep her calm. Let her have her own way. . . Little by little the surroundings of the room crept in on his thoughts. Shaded lamps, priceless vases, expensive hangings... Oriental rugs glowing like jewels under foot, dark and rich. He looked at them sardonically. They gave an illusion of comfort which vanished before him like water before the thirsty Tantalus. Suddenly he was stifling in their richness ... He snatched up his hat. Went to the garage for his car. His own car . . . something of bis own, bought with his money.

The thought was comforting. His conscience pricked him. That was small, perhaps.. .just because Cecile had money he shouldn’t begrudge her the use of it. But hang it all, the way she did it—the things she said, hurt a man’s pride. Fast Company He found himself remembering this latest discord. Coralie Gaines was a rather notorious divorcee. Her Summer home had gained glittering fame for its hilarious parties and the high stakes of its bridge games. Well, Cecile could afford to lose a few hundred if she would be such a fool. But the drinking—and the dancing . . . Ken’s brows drew together nervously. The doctor had warned her. . .A child. How strange, that he and Cecile would have a child. Cecile who frankly disliked all children. . . Rather a dreadful responsibility to bring a new —and perhaps unwilling—soul into the world. Underneath that cool self-possession, did Cecile feel something of this awestruck pity he knew? If she did, she hid it well. The discovery of her condition had promptly flung her into hysterics. She was frantic with alarm and dislike. Her temper, always uncertain, became more than usually capricious. She made it an excuse for self-indulgence. While he was thinking this, Ken had been idly driving through the morning sunlight along streets oddly deserted for Sunday. Now he found, with a leap of his heart, that he had unconsciously been obeying an old habit. Half a block away was Ardeth’s hotel. A smothered excitement stirred n his mind. The longing to see

mystery of broken windows downtown stores and stinging necks on shoppers was solved when four men were arrested in a hotel, each with a rubber-band slingshot. The men said they had been ’doing it’ for days from their hotel window; for •amusement.” Water Starts Fire Denver (U.R) — Water, custom arily used for extinguishing fire, turned the tables and started a' blaze which almost destroyed a garage under construction here. A downpour of rain soaked some lime which smouldered into flame. ■ -o— — Markets At A Glance Stocks, strong and fairly active; bonds Irregularly higher; rails, active and strong; U.

her again invent down upon him. If he could only roll past the last few months. To be again where he was before his mother’s illness. How many times he had driven down this street on a Sunday morning to find Ardeth waiting for him before the hotel. Sitting here in the car with him. slender and lovely. Golden eyes meeting his own with such warm frankness. Dear bright hair—the joyousness of her. . . His heart leaped and for a moment he had the sensation of moving through a drcam. Ardeth—that was Ardeth standing before the hotel entrance. Slim white coat, white felt hat pulled down over her eyes—Ardeth! He was reaching for the brakes when she suddenly crossed the pavement. And then Ken saw, what he had been too excited to notice before. Tom Corbett’s roadster drawn up to the curb. Tom, smiling into the girl’s eyes as he opened the door of the ’ car. Ardeth got in and they drove away. Neither of them

had seen Ken. Ken took his bitter thoughts over to the duck shack. The silence of a Summer day brooded over the salt marsh. His own footsteps alone woke a lonely echo as he walked lown the plank to the little houseboat basking in the sunshine. He flung himself on the faded cushions piled on the rattan couch and lay there smoking and staring over the empty miles. Smell of warm mud and warm saw-grass. The soft lipping of the incoming tide on the planks. Above all, an empty grey-blue sky bending in aching loneliness. There was peace of a kind, here. A greycolored peace, tinged with resignation. | Thoughts of Y esterday No resignation in Ken’s heart, though. He was burnt up with unbearable jealousy at the memory ■ of Ardeth getting into Tom's car. i Ardeth . . . his girl . . . Every- I thing over here spokr- of her. turn- I ing the knife in the wound.

ago 1 And now he hnd not even the right to dream of her . . . By the Autumn of that year, The Caprice was living up to its name. Jeanette was tiring of hei latest toy. “I simply can’t stand being tied down to regular hours,” “he informed Ardeth fretfully. ‘‘l never could stand it, even as a child. They had to take me out of school on that very account. I’m too nervous. Just kfiowing that I nav to be down here at a certain time each day is simply harrowing my feelings. Really, Ardeth, the responsibility is killing me!” This, from Jeanette, who never appeared at the shop until one, and then only to give a few nervous and totally unnecessary orders on her way to some bridge tea, caused Ardeth to turn hurriedly away to hide the smile trembling about her mouth. The responsibility of The Caprice had long since ceased to weigh on Jeanette—except in her imagination. Ardeth it was who did the buy-

ing of the stock as well as the selling now. Ardeth. the first to appear in the morning; the last to eave at night. Now that she had lost Ken, this small store had come to mean the dearest thing in life to her. It put purpose and order in her days. It was more than a means of livelihood, it had become her own creation. She noticed the signs of restlessness on Jeanette’s part with alarm Suppose Jeanette should sell out to someone . . . Suppose she should impetuously decide to fling over the whole thing . Tom noticed the worry in her face when hr- took her to dinner that evening. “It isn’t just the fear of losing my position," she admitted across the restaurant table. “1 can al ‘ ways get something tv do at or.e of the large stores, ’’ve studied antiques and Oriental art It’<s ; the place itself.
