BEGIN lIK.KK TODAY The marriage of Polly and Nigr! Bretherton proves an unhappy one. When ar is declared Nigel is glad to enlist. He leaves' Imlly in the rare of Mary Furnival. Nigel is hided and Polly marries an old sweetheart. Robert Durham. Dolly and Robert sail for America and word comes of the sinking of their ship. When Nigel's brother, David, calls to see Nigei'ig widow, Mary. is ashamed to tell him of Dolly's marriage. David mistakes Mary for Ids brother's wife and asks her to come to live at Red Grange with him and fits aunt. Mary is given a hearty welcome to her new home. Dora Fisher intends to marry David. Stic - alls at Red Grange and asks to meet Nigel's wife. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY a jr l ISS VARNEY did not answer. |iVl| remernh ® r<l <l well enough I J the many times Nigel had designated Dora as a “dressed-up. doll,” and even gone so far as to mimic her airs and graces. She poured the tea silently. They had finished before Mary and David returned. They came into the room together, laughing and talking as if they had known one another all their lives. David carried a rug and Mary’s coat over his arm; his rather pale face w-as flushed with the fresh, damp air. Dora had never seen him look so young and animated. , He stood quite still when he sav her, and the smile faded from hib lips. But the next moment he had recovered himself, and came forward with outstretched hand. “This is an unexpected pleasure!” His eyes searched the room rather anxiously. “Is—is Monty with you?” Dora laughed. “No, and he doesn't know I am here, either.” She explained the situation to him as she had done to Miss Varney; he accepted it gravely. “You’ve had your journey in vain, then?” Her eyes shot him an appeal. “Not in vain, David, if I see you all. How inkind!” She triocl to laugh. Miss Varney introduced Mary. “Miss Fisher—Mrs. Bretherton, ■Nigel’s wife.” Mary held out her hand. She looked a little pale and troubled. For one terrified moment she, too, had wondered if Monty were here, too. If

sc—if so—oh. what would have hap i cited? j “I am so pleased t" meet you!” said Dora effusively. She bent and kissed lhe girl's grave face. ”1 do hope we hall bo friends. Nigel and 1 were great chums.” ■ M m-A \ I ‘ Vt-,' "inlLsl f ■ / “ARE YOU GOING BACK TO LON DON TONIGHT?;’ DAVID ASKED. She was no longer jealous of Mary. In her heart, she had already summed her up. Dowdy and uninteresting! How could Monty have ever described her as “pretty?” She would have been amazed could she have known how David was contrasting her with Mary—infinitely to Mary’s advantage; he considered her iy thousand times more attractive in her simple mourning than Dora in her smartly cut clothes and pink and white beauty-. "Mary drove all the why without my valuable assistance this afternoon,'’ he said to Miss Varney. He looked at Mary with a sort of proprietory smile in Lis eyes. “She won't want any more ftesons now.” “Do you like -motoring?” Dora asked. “I never had tiny before I came here,” said Mt£ry shyly. “I never went in a private car ”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Dora looked surprised. ”1 thought Nigel had one. I am sure I have heard my brother say that lie did.” Mary had remembered, too late. She caught her breath hard; her eyes went to David with a sort of agonizing pleading. He came to her rescue quietly. “Mary doesn’t call that, old knockabout a 'car,’ I expect,” he said. “Nigel bought it second-hand, anti it was only a two-seater; I believe he had nothing hut trouble wifjt it." He changed the conversation byasking if there was any tea left. “We must have some fresh,’’ said Miss Varney; she was very particular over the way her tea was brewed. Si., gave the maid most careful instructions when she came to answer the hell. “Are you going back to London tonight?" David asked; he had taken a chair beside Dora. She laughed. “Why, of course I am! I didn't mean to stay five minutes, only I couldn’t resist the tea, and Miss Varney said you would be in soon. Why didn’t you come to see us last night, David?" Her voice was reproachful. Mary moved away and stood looking out of the window into the darkening garden. It was surprising how acutely soncitive she was to every word that passed between David and Dora: though she tried not to listen, she heard everything they said. She had never seen Dora Fisher before, but she had heard Nigel’s wife speak of her many times. Dolly had inelegantly called her a “dressed-up cat;” she had made fun of the way she did her hair, and the clothes shb wore, though she would aearly have liked to have worn the same things herself. In her heart sh ehad known Dora to be both smartly and expensively dressed; it was through her jealousy that Nigel had heen obliged to break off all friendly associations with the Fishers. Mary w-as recalling all this vaguely as she stood at the window and heard Dora’s rather affected voice, and David’s deep tones. She knew she was not going to like Dora; she knew that she resented this visit—that she resented the fact that Fisher’s sister ealied David by his Christian name It vast an absurd resentment, but none the less real. The past few weeks at the Red Grange had spoiled her, she had been made much of for the first time In her life. She felt out in the cold anc. unwanted as she stood there alone in the window, and heard those two friendly, intimate voices at her back. It was Miss Varney who called to her to corns and have tea. David rose

perfunctorily and drew forward a eh tir for her: she took it without looking at him. She was angry and ashamed because she resented Dora’s presence. After all, David had a right to his friends; it was nothing to do with her who came to the house. She exerted herself to try to join the conversation, but it was a poor success, and presently she sat silent in the flrelit room listening, to tn<y others. Dora was very beautiful; it w-as no wonder David seemed so attentive to her, she told herself a little bitterly. She did not think she had ever seen a more beautiful woman. It seemed an endless time before Dora rose ;o go. “I looked up a train when I w-as at the station.” she said in answer ’o Miss Varney’s inquiries. “There is a fast one at 6:16. May I telephone to the- station for a cab?” “1 will drive you down in the car,” said David at once. He rose and went into the hall. “That is, if you are sure you cannot stay to dinner,” he added as he returned with his big driving coat. “i should love to, hut I mustn’t," Dora answered. “Monty will be wondering w-here I tun; as it is, he will have to have his dinner alone tonight, and he hates that.” “He is a lucky man to have such a devoted sister,” said Miss Varney kindly. “Oh, I have heard him say how god you are to him,” she insisted, as Dora began to protest, Mary was forgotten.

the deep chair in the firelight, silent and a little sad. Miss Varney had followed David and Dora into the hall: she heard David order the car; then their steps and voices died away in the distance. Mary sat staring into the fire; after all, it was she who was Lhe intruder here, and not Dora —she who had no right there! She w-ho was nothing to either David or Miss Varney! She heard the sound of returning steps, and rose to her feet. David came into the room. She heard him feel along the wall for the switch with which to turn on the light; then he spoke her name. “Mary! Are you there, Mary?” She answered at once. “Yes—do you want me?” He came across to her; he changed his mind about the light, and left the room In darkness. “I wondered where you were. Is anything the matter? Are you tired?" Sne could just see his face by the red glow of the fire; his eyes seemed to be looking right down into her heart. “Is anything the matter?” he asked again. There was a little silence, then Mary spoke, and the words seemed forced from her against all reasoning, against her very will. “Oh, I don’t want you to go down to the station with Miss Fisher,” she said childishly. She was terrified as soon as she had spoken; a wave of scarlet seemed to envelop her whole body.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1921

She was painfully conscious o£* the sudden tension of David's tall figure. She tried desperately to laugh, but the sound died away In her throatj she just stood there —trembling. CHAPTER XXXII “I Didn’t Mean It” “You don't want me to go to the station with Miss Fisher?” David Bretherton echoed the words slowjy, as if, as yet, they conveyed nothing to him. Then suddenly the hot color flamed into his face; he half held out his hand, but drew It back irresolutely. Mary had recovered herself by this time; she was trying to laugh, but .it w-as not very successful. “I didn’t mean that, of course. How silly! I don’t know what made me say it! Os course you must go to the station with her; please forget that I ever said anything so foolish.” She tried to move past him to the door, but Bretherton barred her way. “You did mean it,” he said; there was a quiet determination in his voice. “You are not in the least the soiff of woman to say a thing unless you had' some vex-y good' reason for it; especially a thing like that. Don’t you like Miss Fisher? Why don’t you want me to go with her?” Mary w-as covered with confusion; her eyes were distressed. “Indeed. I meant nothing,” she declared. “Please forget all about It; look, the ear is ‘at the door.” (Continued in Our Next Issue)
