"KING OBSHEARTS" 7 BY EDNA

CHAPTER XXI They entered a small corridor which instantly resolved from an ancient passage into a handsomely appointed reception hall. Tall vasts of pink azaleas stood on a pair of console tables, where the men left their hats and sticks; while the ladies were ushered up a second iron-railed stairway into a spacious and beautiful boudoir which might have been the private suite of Marie Antoinette, herself. ‘‘Didn’t I tell you it was perfectly gorgeous?” Doti whispered to Lynn. “You should have seen the place when Andre lived here alone. He didn't use these upper rooms, only the two below. He lived in one and worked in the other, and sometimes cooked for himself in the kitchen. Vera had that remodeled completely/And the bath. Isn’t it sumptuous 2 The fittings are gold, and so is that French bed.” The bed stood on a low dais, draped and canopied with gold net. Lynn preferred the less regal splendor of her mother’s blue and silver room, but she admired the lavish appointments of these rooms which looked as if they belonged in the Pafece at Versailles. But she recognized that the golden appointments were a suitable background for their owner, as soon as she saw her hostess. Vera was wearing gold lace, exactly the shade and texture of hei hair, which was her chief asset of beauty. She was altogether charming, and Lynn could see that money Was not the only advantage Andre-had obtained by his fortunate marriage. The two large rooms were strikingly decorated in white and crimson. White bowls of crimson orchids and pigeon-blood vases of white budlea were everywhere. Deep chairs and divans of crimson chenille were offset by table covers of white matting and white lamp shades. A bone-white concert piano stretched triangular length in one corner over the crimson carpet. Elaborate silver service covered two long buffets in the dining-room and gleamed in the peculiar lighting of the rooms. This was achieved by indirect illumination, concealed in opposite corners of the rooms at the ceiling, so that long rays of light cast geometric be Jims across the white ceilings, like aerial beacons. There was nothing French about the living rooms. They were distinctly and originally modern. But the wines were French; imported Sauterne and Burgundy and French Vermouth.

“I can remember when Andre served us with weak gin highballs,” Dewey remarked to Doti with smirking significance. “Oh, forget it!” snapped Doti. “You-sound like a gossiping old woman.” Her fierce loyalty to Andre puzzled Lynn a little. She never defended Jack; rather the con-trary.'-She criticized all kind of J maginary neglects in him. Was it only because Doti was privileged to act and talk exactly as she pleased? Lynn had stepped through the open French window onto the balcony which covered the sidewalk below, th see Jackson Square under the spell of night shadows and dim lights. To her right, the triple spires of St. Louis Cathedral made an impressive silhouette against the lowhangingsky. It stood in the shadows guarded on each side by the solid stone masonry of the old Cabildo, as all beauty was guarded in this romantic city. • Lynn, had snatched this moment to be alone in this strange place. She wished to feel the witchery of its haunting unreality, so tangibly typified by those balcony rails which had been wrought by human hands so many years ago. And suddenly, she sensed that she

was not alone on the balcony. She felt that someone had followed her out there, and she almost feared to turn about to discover who it was. If it were Dewey, he might be very difficult to manage in this particular situation. If it were Jack. . . . She half turned about and exclaimed softly, “Oh!” as she saw that it was Jack. Relief and anxiety filled her with a clamor of emotional forces. “Sorry!” he said gently. “Did I frighten you?” “No—that is—l didn’t know there was anyone out here,” her words stumbled. “Isn’t this a charming place?” “You like it better than—Chicago?” “Oh, there’s no comparison! We have beauty—but of such a different quality. It's like the difference between a piece of primitive textile and a fine old Gobelin tapestry. There are no mystery and tradition to soften the edges and corners of things, up there.” “If you like being here, why do you go away?” he protested in a low voice that was tense with something which his face did not reveal in the shadows. “We rarely can have the things we most desire, or live where we choose, can we?” she forced her own voice to sound lightly, as if there were no <Jeep emotion aroused within her at his words. He did not reply at once. Silence for a moment, then he asked abruptly, “Why did you run away from me, this afternoon—on the boat?” She managed to pretend a vague memory of the incident. She forced a laugh. “Oh. I didn’t know I ran away. Doti called us, or something, I believe.” “Didn’t you want to hear what I had to say?” Panic filled her. How could she divert this moment from themselves? She sensed the import of his words, but she had to stop him. He didn’t really mean to be serious or even sentimental about her. She was only a novelty to him. He belonged to Doti. The lives and order of two entire families would be threatened if she permitted this moment to develop into what portended.

She replied lightly and with effort. “Os course. But—Jack —don’t say anything you might regret. Doti —trusts us as much as she loves us, and we love her. Shall we—go in?” Her voice shook a little on the last words, but she turned quickly toward the open window and stepped back into the brilliant apartment. No one ever would know what effort that action had required of her. She wondered about the expression on her face as she slipped back into the- party, hoping it betrayed little of the anguish she had suffered in that renunciation. Perhaps she had been wrong about what Jack wanted to say to her. But it was worth taking the chance. When, later, he also came into the room, he glanced at her with a puzzled expression, but she avoided talking alone with him again. She wished with all her heart that he might understand just how much she adored and admired him, and why she had been so callous toward his own tenderness. But if he did not understand—there was nothing she could do about it. Doti’s happiness could not be sacrificed because she had entertained her poor and lonely cousin for a week from her generous affection If Jack had any vague notions aboirt being attracted to Lynn, he would have to get over them. He would find, when she was gone, that it was much more comfortable to slip back into the old grooves of habit and tradition and family arrangements.

Finally, the crowd had sated its thirst and satisfied its hunger, while someone intermittentlygplayed the piano, everyone grew loquacious and wit sparkled at sudden intervals. Someone discovered that it was time to leave and everyone declared it had been a grand party. Lynn wondered how anyone could stimulate enthusiasm over any kind of party. Their lives were a merry carousal of pleasure and leisure, food and drink. Already, it was beginning to pall on her—and this had been one week out of a lifetime, while they continued on indefinitely. Dewey insisted upon driving home with Lynn. But he had consumed much more than his share of Andre’s liquors, and Jack protested. “You’re in no condition to escort a lady tonight, old man. Better let us take you home, instead.” “When did I ask you to manage my affairs?” he demanded of Jack with an ugly snarl. “I’m not managing your affairs. I'm only protecting Miss Bartel. Go home and sleep it off tonight, so you can be at the station tomorrow to speed her away,” he suggested agreeably. • “She’s not speeding away,” Dewey leered. “She’s staying here, with me. Aren’t you, beautiful? Tell them all that we’re going to be married. Go on, be a good little sport,” his arm dropped heavily about Lynn's shoulders and drew her toward him.

Her frightened eyes appealed to Jack. “But I am leaving tomorrow,” she insisted. “I never told you I would marry you,” she pressed her hand against Dewey with a shoving gesture, feeling a sense of nausea engulf her. It was all she could do to command her composure, to refrain from reaching out to Jack for protection and composure. But she smiled bravely, and managed to elude Dewey's overtures Everyone appeared to credit the small disturbance to Dewey’s over-indul-gence and most of them were quite as uncertain about their own condition, so that Jack Anally managed the situation without a scene, and no one seemed to remember it afterward. O Jack drove the girls home and left them immediately. Doti had suggested he should do so. “You can’t stay a minute, tonight. This is our very last night together, and we haven’t said one-half the things we intended. You run along. I can see you every day after Lynn is gone.” Later, when they were curled up in deep chairs in Lynn’s room, Doti confided, “It won’t be long now until our engagement is announced. Zola wanted to wait until after the Mardi Gras so it would look as if the romance blossomed right out of it. Os course, everyone knows it didn’t and that the affair has been settled for ages—but that's the social order. So we have to live up to it. You must plan to come down for the wedding, darlin’. You will be the maid of honor and the four maids-in-waiting to the queen will be the bridesmaids. Won’t that he stunnin’?”

Ah, could she bear that experience, Lynn wondered. “I doubt if I can have a vacation very soon again,” she objected quietly. “Oh, it will be a year or so, yet. I’m not so anxious to marry for a while. I have a pretty good time the way things are, and I’m not ready to settle down to one man, yet,” ruefully. Lynn’s heart ached. If only she had one of Doti’s small chances for happiness—and she was tossing away the most precious of them all. (To Be Continued) i CfiDyrifht, IfSS, King Featurw ByndlcaU, fefl.

CHAPTER XXII The little time that remained on that last morning, after a late breakfast, Lynn devoted to packing. Doti insisted upon helping her, but she did not seem to know how to do anything. Her efforts were impulsive and ineffectual. At the last moment, she presented Lynn with a complete set of ivory satin lingerie and an ounce of imported French perfume. When Lynn protested her extravagance, she dismissed the gifts as of no consequence. Her generosity was fostered by abundance and indulgence, and not by a spirit of loving sacrifice. She gave from her lavish provision and knew nothing of intrinsic values. Much as she treasured the luxuries, Lynn was reluctant to accept what would have represented so much effort to her. Zola and the Colonel had added their persuasion that Lynn should remain with them. But she was determined to return north. Added to being their responsibility, she feared now for the ehaos her affection for Jack might precipitate Into their orderly design for living. She knew that if they suspected the truth for a moment, they would speed her departure with all haste. They would tolerate no smallest element which threatened Doti’s happiness, she was sure. But she compromised with a promise to consider returning at some future time. Dewey came speeding out to the house in the early afternoon, protesting, “I just heard you were leaving. Os course, I didn't believe it, but I came out to see what you had planned,” he lowered his voice with guarded significance. “We’ll go anywhere you say, sweet. If you want your relatives to believe you’re going back north—l’ll meet you anywhere you say” She gave him a look that was intended to wither or freeze, depending upon his vulnerability. “I don’t wish to meet you anywhere, Mr. Condon. I have only been civil to you for Doti’s sake, and I'm going back north to take care of myself, where my acquaintance doesn’t include men like you.” “Oh, I say, aren't you being a little cruel?” “Not nearly so cruel as I should be. You need some man to deal with you, or some woman who is as ruthless as ycu are—not the innocent girls you select for your victims.” “Innocent girls!” he sneered defensively. “Oh, I don’t expect you to believe that any of us are innocent. Your pattern fits everyone, in your own mind. Goodbye—Mr. Condon. It has been something of a revelation i to know you. and the experience may be useful to me in the future.” She stood up to dismiss him. He retreated with a little less than his usual grace, but his manner still insisted that he seerned her rebuff. As she stood at the open door and watched his glittering car disappear down the drive, she thought how very far apart were those two extremes of her revelation of men in one short week of time. She felt wiser by ages of time and depths of experience, sineu the morning when she had first entered that door. The I golden serenity of the day, the mystery of th* drooping oaks, the | sheen of the tragnofia trees were 1 the same. But she was not the 1 same. She kad experienced the i depth of love and the revulsion of I that substitute which was almcet as

old as love, and quite as universal. * And she had renounced them both. • The same group which had feted her all week, with one exception, was at the station to speed Lynn’s departure. She was amazed and de- | lighted to find her drawingroom—the Colonel had insisted upon that ' —filled with farewell gifts of books and flowers and confections. It was a happy climax for her holiday. The girls were demonstrative and the ; boys attentive. Everyone promised < to see her in Chicago soon, whether ' or not they had any idea of visiting , in the north. She accepted the : promises in the same spirit they , were made, like all such assurances of the future. And the next thing Lynn knew, 1 the little group on the platform was 1 receding into the distance and the < train was speeding toward the north. The happiest week of her life was ended and she did not know whether to mourn or rejoice. < The fulgence of its shining memory was going to light the future for her, but ah! the contrast it would suffer from the experience. Could she return to the monotonous pattern of the two-tone texture she had been weaving alone, after gazing upon those rich and in- , tricate designs of variagated color? It would take plenty of courage and , determination, she knew. More than she possessed? Lynn wondered. To distract her thoughts, she turned to inspect the assortment of gifts . . . half a dozen new books and as many of the week’s periodicals. She would have a whole day in which to enjoy them, tomorrow. The flowers would be wilted by the time she arrived home, but the confections would be a treat for her and Mrs. Kime over many days. She would give Susanne a box of candy and fruit, also. She began to anticipate seeing Susanne and telling her all about the joyous holiday. Perhaps not quite all—but describing what she had seen for the benefit of Susanne’s vivid imagination. She was grateful that she could count on seeing Susanne, Lynn reflected a trifle wistfully, recalling Doti’s host of friends. And then, as always, her thoughts reverted to Jack, and she remembered his farewell. He had been gay enough with the rest of them, and no one had noticed his sudden gravity when he took Lynn’s hand and kissed her suddenly and firmly on the mouth. It was over so quickly that she hadn’t time even to think about it until afterward, and the incident had no significance for anyone except Lynn—and Jack himself, perhaps. She wondered if it had, or if his family duty had i prompted the gesture of affection. The torment of uncertainty was too painful, so she tried to dismiss the i conjecture. Os one thing she was certain, ■ however; that some part of her — ’ some vital element—had been left • behind her in the south. Her love ; remained with Jack, whether or not i he desired it And whether he knew i it or not, Jack had changed her en- : tire perspective on life and given a ’ new meaning to its fundamentals, i She never would be the same again, s having experienced the revelation i of love as it might have been. But ! it was gone now. It had appeared, i an elusive vision, and vanished i again like a phantom ship of the ! night She had glimpsed the ulti- ! mate.

ever. It gave her something to dream about The train roared north, as if protesting its transition from the soft golden atmosphere into the damp gray chill which shrouded it completely on the second night. The cars creaked and shuddered, and icicles dripped mournfully from window ledges. And there was not that pleasant animation of expectancy aboard the train which had been so obvious on the trip south. There were few passengers because most of the carnival guests had returned several days earlier. But Lynn enjoyed the privacy of her drawingroom, reflecting that it was probably the last as well as the first in her experience. The entire week had been so crowded with novel experiences for her—most of them delightful ones. Its short span bridged a deep chasm between her past and her future, but she had yet to discover its astonishing depth. Lynn walked through the maze of hurrying humanity in the terminal. It seemed queer to see everyone rushing so frantically about, with such grim expressions on their faces. Many of them were running, as if each moment must suffice for two. It seemed so very long since she had been a part of this haste and anxiety. But she was grateful now to graso at something definite which would absorb her thoughts. She glanced at the’station clock, and quickened her own pace involuntarily, overtaking the redcap who had carried her bags from the train. “A taxi,” she nodded, as his gesture inquired. If the driver made good time, she would be at Dunning’s at the usual hour. She gave him her destination and inquired anxiously, “Can you make it in ten minutes?” He nodded and slammed the door to. With screeching brakes and sudden stops which almost precipitated Lynn from the tonneau into the front seat, he deposited her at the main entrance of the department store at the specified time. Lynn hurried to the checkroom and left her bags before she went up to the ladies’ apparel shop on the fifth floor. Seeing no one about, she went into the locker room, where sha found Susanne absorbed with her makeup. Her face lighted with pleasure when she saw Lynn, and she threw her arms around her with an ardent embrace. “Well, if it ain’t the beautiful lady, herself, back here among us. Gee! I’m that glad to see you! I was afraid maybe you wouldn’t come back.” “Why not?” Lynn laughed. It was rather nice to be so cordially welcomed home, even by Susanne. “Did you have a swell time?” “Marvelous!” "You look it. Why, you’re tanned —just imagine being tanned in February,” she sighed dramatically. “How’s everything?” Lynn was hanging her wraps in the scarred steel locker. Susanne rolled her eyes and gestured with her shoulders. “Hm! not so good. Lowry’s been on the warpath ever since you left. And there’s a new model. I he had to get a sub because business has been pretty good. But he will be glad to see you back, all right, all right. I hope his disposition improves with your gentle influence.” (To Be Continued) Copyright. 113«. Hint Fetturg* Bynd!cat», Tm.
