SYNOPSIS Marie Alexander, young and unsophisticated. satiates her longing tor romance by corresponding via • letter exchange club with a young man she had never seen. When Edward -Wilson, the correspondent, visits her. Marie is filled with misgivings that he will not care for her. To impress him, she had written that her mother was an actress, and so she had been years ago. but now she conducts a beauty parlor in their home on the outskirts of Hollywood. Marie runs a circulating library there. The young couple meet and are mutually attracted and, after only two days’ courtship, profess their love. Edward is to leave on business in two days and suggests that they marry secretly before he goes. And so, they do. After spending the night at an unromantic auto camp. Marie returns home alone and breaks the news to Julie. Edward comes to dinner that night. He is surprised when Charlie. Marie's step-father, speaks of Marie going to Oakland with Edward. Evidently. Charlie did not know that their plan was for Marie to remain in Hollywood until her husband got started in business. Julie, however, settles ail that and tells Edward frankly that he married Marie and it is his obligation to take her with him. She insists that he make up his mind, then and there, whether he wanted Marie or not. “Come, darling," Edward says to Marie; then suddenly remembers there is no room in the roadster as he came to town with two other fellows. CHAPTER XI “Edward,” Marie said, through tears, "couldn't we go on the train?” Miserably he put one hand in his pocket, pulled out a few coins. Mutely he shook his head. Charlie couldn't stand it. "If it was the loan of the price of a couple of train tickets now, then I could—” “Charlie Bronson, you stay out of this!" ’ "I was just trying to help, Julie,” “Any man—any real man," Julie's blue eyes were biasing, “would resent interference at this time. He'd WANT to take eare of his bride himself. Isn't that right? Answer me, young man?” “Yes," Edward said, “it's right. I have no excuse to make. I just haven’t any money. I—l'm in a spot.” Julie snorted. "Well, then, if I want to make Marie and her husband a little wedding present, is it any business of anybody's but mine?” Charlie wanted to know. Out of his Oallet. feeling each bill with his thumb and forefinger, he peeled five ten dollar bills. "There," he said, “now you can go on the train, son." He beamed and tried not to wince as Edward's strong fingers gripped hie. He knew the boy didn’t trust himself to speak. "And now,” he said, “I'm going to give the bride a little present, too. 1 A check for about fifty bucks, to buy , some pretties." "Oh, Charlie," Marie breathed. | “Oh, Charlie-" . "They oughtn't to LET you,” i Julie stormed. Two big tears rolled 1 down her cheeks. "And besides you 1 make me look like a female Shylork, and 1 only wanted her to bo I h-happy. I'm g giving her my diamond clip, myself!" “Mother—NOl” “I never wear the dang thing, and you know it. I hate jewelry," Julie , shouted. "Como on, and pack or ] you won't get the train in spite of < what Charlie’s doing." "Oh, you can always pick up a | drawing room at the last minute," i Edward said. 1 "A drawing room,"Charlleechoed. He hadn’t thought of a drawing i room. He looked again at the boy i who had just married his step- I daughter. “Have another cee-gar," I he said. < They sat back in their chairs, and 1 Charlie looked in the coffee pot to see if there was any coffee left. I “You hadn't ought to mind Julie,” < bo went on. "She's loud-mouthed i

sometimes, but her bark is worse than her bite. She felt real bad about Marie marrying a—a stranger as it were. Women are kind of like that." « “Yes,” said Edward soberly, “I know.” He was thinking of his mother and his sister, Bee. • • e Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wilson were having breakfast in the dining car. Edward wanted to have it sent in to the drawing room, but Marie said she loved dining cars, so they went there instead.

“This is Martines," Edward said, “we'll be in Oakland pretty soon.” Marie smiled, poured herself another cup of coffee. Edward refused a second cup. He looked across at his bride of two days, and was surprised again. At dinner last night ahe had bean a tear-stained wreck, a clinging, terrified child. On the way to the train she had wept again at parting with her family, and then she'd cuddled in his arms, and laughed and been happy as any love-bird. And this morning, here she was, positively matronly in spite of her babyish wide eyes, and her curls. Complacently going to strange people and a strange city, while it was only with a direct effort of will that he managed to look even half way composed. He had written a half dosen wires ( on the train, torn them all up. Bet- j ter just walk in on them, and explain after he got there. Hee would be at work, and so would his father, anibbe could easily handle his mother, though what she'd say when he came in with a bride ... “Darling," Marie said, “don't you feel well?” “Perfectly," ho replied with a little inner annoyance. It seemed strange that a girl who professed to love you so much could be so absolutely Incapable of understanding your problems. She had been fully nware of her own, of HER mother, HER father, who was only a stepfather anyway. Heavens, couldn't "ho realise what he wns facing? Couldn’t sho even guess what he was up against? In the taxi, driving from Second and Broadway, through the business section, skirting the lake, then up a little hill to the aWilson home on Shalimar, Marie was a-flutter with •xcitement, and Edward sank deeper and deeper into himself. He realised that she'd never seen anything but Hollywood and Los I Angeles in her life, and this was an I advents re and a journey. But as the 1

To save his life he couldn’t think of anything else to say, any other way to put it. And it was so hard to beat a new idea into Mom’s head. Anything new just didn’t register with her. Mane would be there a week before she’d really get it all straight His lips twitched in a half smile. Msrie’s wide eyes were a little

anxious. "What's funny, Edward?” "I waa just thinking,” he said, “of how surprised my folks will be." • • o The dishes were done, the living room was dusted and vacuumed, the bathroom mopped. Mrs. Wilson stopped to catch her breath. Now, to make the beds, or do her marketing first? Eddie'd be home some time duging the day, and there wasn't a thing in the house for lunch. Also, if chicken wasn't too high, she'd get a good nixed hen to fricassee Eddie waa so fond of it with dumplings—and it wouldn't hurt to get it started early. Os course. Eddie might come when she was down on the avenue but it wasn't likely. The later sho put off the shopping, the more likely that he'd come when she was out. ! Not that it really mattered, for ho i had his key and could let himself in. but she wanted to tie there to welcome him. So she slipped her old brown coat over her checked housedress and got her “house money" out of the old coin purse in which she kept it in the kitchen drawer. It looked like rain, but you can't carry an umbrella and bundles, too. She locked the back door, am' was just about to open the front dour and start on her way, when, through the glass, she saw a taxi slopping In front. A taxi -and Eddie getting out.
