" 1 didn't , T'idnr knew HPoment " Up pu.lc-1 ;i from his pocket. in a bored way and fpusned it to the table. “My dear boy—l’m dieting. You don't seem to learn!’’ He sat down, talking to Willman, pulling at his finger till the knuckles cracked. With a studied carelessness he tossed a tiny tissue-paper package in his wife’s lap. He laughed. “Perhaps that will strike you better tht:n the candy, Edie.” He watched her hungrily. She made no move to open the box. Barbara’s eyes were blazing; even Chickie felt a stir of anger. They were all looking at her. She perceived this. Her lips curled. “Curious, my dears? Pardon me.”' Very delicately and very slowly she snapped off the elastic bands, opened the box with a sharp breath of delight. Within was a ring, set with an immense emerald. It was cut square and gleamed with a magical brilliance on her white finger. A flush crept over her olive skin. , Dirk Potter said .eagerly: “Like it, Edie?” She stood up. "You are a dear, Dirkie, old thing. You’re quite a darling.” She gave him a smile. The two of them walked off together. ' Willman’s eyes followed with a contemptuous flash! “Pay as you enter!” He laughed. "Poor old )lrk will be tolerated for a day or yo at that.” Before the evening was over, Udith became restless, intensely irritable. She kept turning the ring, finally she took it off. The next fternooh Dirk Potter went away. Barbara said to Chickie: “I feel sorry for him.” "Why?” "He lovfs. her. The meaner she is, the more lie cares.” Chickie laughed: "Some men thrive on a demoniac menu, k "But it makes me afraid, just the fcanie. Imagine loving a person w ith laJl your heart and then having it Itum out like that?” " "Did Edith ev#r love him with all her heart?” "I don’t know. I was only thirteen when she was married. We didn’t have as much money then as we have new. Lee says Edith was bought but she won’t pay. He’s awfully against her. Dirk gives her the most gorgeous things. She likes that and she likes the name. The Potters are just about the best people down here—” A few days after this Edith was giving a dinner party. Her husband

1 had not returned. She w ,nt about with a splash of excited color in her face. Barbara learned that an actor, very well known, very handsome, was the guest of honor. She spoke of him as “Timmy.” She said nervously: “Edith thinks him wonderful.” Just as the guests were arriving, Potter drove up. Chickie happened to be crossing the veranda. She saw Edith—saw her face turn white as paper. A few moments later Edith came to them. She said pleading: "Won’t you please join us, Miss Bryce? Please —there’s an extra man.” Barbara interceded. Final, y Chickie consented. She was placed next to Edith’s husband. CHAPTER IX The Dinner Party Potter talked of his wife. His eyes dwelt on her. Beautiful with excitement, she sat at the head of the table. Her dress was cut low and of adeep garnet color. This gave a waftnth to her pale olive skin. It heightened the passion in her dark intense face. * Potter said to Chicklei “Edith "looks magnificent tonigh*.” "Yes.” Timmy, the actor, was at Edith’s right. There was charm in the rich, well sculptured face. But Chickie was disappointed. She had seen Timmy on the screen and been greatly moved by the romantic flash of him. The real man seemed quite a small edition of the noble fe;lo\v striding with such a gallant step across the film. Yet she strained her ears to hear what he might say. And this, too, chilled her. For Timmy was not completely master of his tongue. He had arrived in a jovial mood and without his hat. This had begp lost in some inexplicable manner that puzzled him. He wished to find it. He invited in turn each of the guests to aid him. He interrupted his own very graceful conversations with a foolish: “But where is my hat, my darling! Come—let us find my hat.” Edith ran her hand through his hair: "Never mind, Timmy, dear. We’ll buy you anew hat.” ’ With the air of a prince he took her hand and kissed it. Potter laughed. He said to Chickie: “Edith can meet any situation. She makes every one feel at ease.” He kept mumbling such comments, insisting that Chickie agree. But she was absorbed in the man next her. He was blond and suave with a large, handsome face. She fancied him a florlfied grocery-clerk. He was engaged in a stupid flirtation with the wife of another guest and had now reached the stage of sentimentally squeezing her hand under the table. Potter said: “Do you think Edith liked the emerald, Miss Bryce? Did she speak of it afterward?” He repeated this, touching Chiekie’s arm and leaning down to her. “Oh, yes!” sue answered with a ,hurried smile. "I’m sure she was delighted—” Potter's long, sallow face suffused with pleasure. Chickie noted this and at the same moment perceived Edith watching her husband with a triumphant hardness on her mouth. She wondered. The dinner was boring. At Timmy’s end of the table It had suddenly become animated, but Chickie could only catch snatches of his conversation. For he spoke deliberately in soft, throaty tones. She was glad when Edith rose. • She came directly to her husband. Her eyes shone. She patted his hand: “Dirkie, dear, I know you're just aching for a game of billiards. Me.ll wants to play with you. I’ve arranged a match. Miss Bryce won’t mind, will yofi? It’s awfully fascinating to watch a good player. And Dirkie is that.” Potter reddened like a boy. He said warmly: Edie, dear! Are you going to sing tonight?” “No Timmy wants to see those pictures. He’s interested. And he has to leave early.” Timmy, surrounded by the four other women guests, held court with a winning and royal condescension. Edith nodded. He sauntered leisurely 'to her side. “We looked for you Tuesday night, Dirk. Too bad you couldn't make it.” As Edith advanced, he came to meet her. The two of them were of an equal height. They crossed | the room. Chickie had a sense of rhythm. Potter felt this-, too, for he said, j musing: “She walks like a queen, i doesn’t she? Edith could make a name in the films.” He waited till they passed Into the hall, then shrugged: “I suppose Mell is waiting.” The billiard room was in the extreme end of the south wing. Mell was the blonde flirt. His partner of the dinner table accompanied him. She was little and dark, reminding Chickie of a. rabbit. Yet there was in her pinched face a complacent smugness; that pugnacious sell es-

teem obscure girls sometimes acquire wtih marriage as though the winning of a husband has once and for all vindicated their charms'to a doubting world. Adding to her distinction was her name, "Betty Jane.” She came In on that tide of Betty Janes about twenty-one years ago. I|etty clapped her hanos and called out: “A bird! A bird!” whenever a good shot was mAuc. Chickie grew tired of grinning and agreeing. She was worn out by Betty’s vivacity. When another couple entered the room and Betty proceeded to enlighten them in the same manner. Chickie moved with apparent carelessness toward the door. Her absence would not be marked. Like all the rooms on the ground floor, this opened on the court. She hurried, intending to join Barbara The moon had come up. In the gauze and silver of Its light the swans, motionless, their heads lowered, had a ghofttly beauty. And beauty saddened her because It held so many memories. x The night was warm and hushed as though It listened to a distant Rmusic. Chickie paused. What a chaste and holy thing the silence was. Her thoughts ached. She was lost in them. A voice at her side made her tremble. AVillman said: “I thought you weren’t going to that dinner. Miss Bryce. What made you change?” “I wasn’t. At the last minute I had to.” “Had to? Why?” She gave a little laugh wondering at his harshness: "Well—your sister asked it. She Jiad unexpectedly an extra man.” ' “Extra man! By the way was the extra man one Mr. Dirk Potter?” “Mr. Potter was there. I don’t know whether he was the extra one or not.” She opened her hand evasively. They laughed. "What are they all doing now that you come sneaking away? Bored to death, are you?” “No—but I’m not needed exactly now. Mr. Potter is playing billiards." They had been walking. Willman halted abruptly: “Oh —po you* had the pleasure of Mr. Potter's company at the table?” * “Yes. I did! What Is there to grow violent about? He Is a most ordinary person, I would say. And where do you come from so full of indignation this time of>the evening, Mr. Willman?” “I was waiting for you. I knew you couldn’t stand much of that.” “I was highly entertained, I assure you. ’ He had hold of her arm, but he kept his head very erect, facing straight before him. Suddenly he said in a low, strained tone: “My brother-in-law is a fine fellow. I have ,a great respect for him. But I’d like to ask you this, Mis.-* Bryce. Don’t permit Edith to pair you off with him. She has her own ways of eliminating the undesirable—” “Oh—aren’t y?u a little 'rejudlced, Mr. Willman?” He went on, ignoring her: “Edith is as ruthless and as selfish as Nature. She Is by no means above abusing those whom she has used. You can’t understand a thing like that, Miss Bryce.” “No —” “Then remember. I know her quite well.” He slipped his hand along her arm, clasped her palm. “Let me—that’s only friendship. You can give me a little grace. I wonder what you are wanting from life,, Miss Bryce, that you keep your eyes so straight before you. Is It something very exquisite?” Her breath hurried. "Oh—l don’t know. Should we be so greedy, Mr. Willman.” “Answer me, pleasq. You must surely think of the future—of loving or of serving—” “Yes—” "I’m sure you do. What made you saj r that love Is cruel? It needn’t he.” “Perhaps I said it then, because I didn’t know. You see, I don’t want love —” “Why don’t you? You can never keep it from you—never. . . “Yes —I’m going to —” “No —you aren’t —tot you—" She drew her hand free —shook her head. He went on:: “With you it would be glory—” She glanced upward-saw his head

raised —the lips parted and white. Tears came to her eyes. She touched his hand. They "(valked an silently. And as they did tliis Chlckia heard softly a murmur. It was repeated, faint as an echo. She glanced through the shrubs. On a bench, hidden bift revealed to her through a parting in the vines, were figures— two figures, molded as one in a piercing and beautiful grace. The man’s arms were about the woman’s waist, and hers, long and white, clasped his neck. In the shimmer of light the dark red of Edith Potter’s gown glowed warmly. Willman gripped Chlckte’s arm. He said: “God!” and pulled her roughly down the path. (To Be Continued) (Copyright, King Feature Syndicate) ’
