Beautiful JOANNA MANNERS, clerk, is summoned by IIARKNE3S. the buyer, to appear before her employer. Mr. Graydon, who delivers an overwhelming message. Someone whose identity she is not to know has placed $1,000,000 on deposit at the Metropolitan Bank subject to her personal check. Graydon convinces her “there are no strings tied to the, proposition.” and has his chauffeur take her to the banker. Andrew Eggleston. Graydon's old friend. That evening, when Joanna hopes to talk confidentially with JOHN, her fiancee, she finds also the eloquent and wealthy FRANCIS BRANDON, her banker s nephew, waiting in the draw-ing-room. Sensing the situation, Brandon departs, after being assured of a later engagement. : Joanna promises to share her fortune with John, but he will not believe her story and departs with utmost coldness. Perplexed because John, as well as COHEN, the furrier, and even her landlady. MRS. ADAMS, now distrust her, Joanna goes to Graydon. He offers no advice, but hopes that John will apologize. Joanna suddenly realizes that only Brandon can show her the way to go. _ At a brilliant social affair, Brandon Introduces her to YVONNE COUTANT. famous society divorcee, whose partner, Roddy Kenilworth, rich, romantic idler, admits he will try his hand for Joanna. He knows Brandon is the one thing Yvonne desires that she hasn't got. Yvonne invites Joanna to live with her until she becomes properly launched, but it is suggested that Joanna withhold her decision until later.
By H. L. Gates CHAPTER XII Joanna Visits Eggleston Sr- — o JOANNA, a billow of snow white ermine nestled in the ... cushions of Brandon’s limousine, went happily to the place she had called home. Went to the' rooming house where Mrs. Adams lost her sleep over flapper lodgers. She thought It would be for the last time. Realization that she was rich, fabulously, rich like Yvonne Coutant, like a movie star, like Mrs. Delaney Jordan, with whose son Bob Joanna once had a date negotiated over his mother's shoulder at the silk counter, had settled at last in her groping brain. Her fight for understanding of the fantastic thing that had happened to her was over, soothed away by the retrospects of the evening. The feel of the ermines against her cheeks and throat and shoulders, the nearness of Brandon who wore his evening clothes so smartly, the prospects of the morrow when she would move Into the aura of Yvonne, symbol of life, throbbed through Tier pulses and suffused her alert body with a gentle glow. For tho twentieth time she resolved to puzzle no more about the source of the money, or the reason of It. Something would happen to her, of course. She’d meet it on tip toes. One thing, though, she must square up. Brandon, whatever his part in her affairs, mustn’t think she was—well, the kind of a hell that is all clapper and no ring. She asked him suddenly: “Why didn’t you want me to go to Miss Coutant’s tonight? It would have been much easier than tomorrow.” “O wholly selfish reason,” Brandon informed her. “You’re an important person to someone, you know, for some reason. Decisions you make now are of consequence. I’d rather not have the responsibility of delivering you into anybody’s guidance. Then you will not be able to tell me about it later on, if you feel like it.” “Do you think I shall ever be sorry?” “That doesn’t follow. Certainly, though, Yvonne Coutant represents a distinct theory of what life owes Its dependents. You wouldn't adopt her as a counselor in the same impulse that would lead you to go In so us say, uplift!” “Yet you want me to go to her, to learn from her what to do with my money to spend it her way, and to become like her? You knew she was going to ask me. You arranged it.” * * * f"p"| HE saw that she had struck IO I home> For a brief moment Brandon was perturbed. Then he smiled to her. “When you begin to accuse me I know I’m getting on,” he murmured. “Oh, I shall let you get on fast enough, until I know what’s what. Then—!” "And then what?” “There’s no use going to a funeral until somebody’s dead, is there? We won’t be downhearted now.” When he stood with her, for parting minutes, in the rooming house reception hall, where a dim light burned Its grim reproach to young ladles who breezed in from midnight to four, Brandon suddenly took Joanna’s hands in his, and gently drew her to him until she stood quite close, so that she had to lift her chin to look Into his face. For a moment she was panic stricken. It was a prelude of a kiss, she thought. She didn’t want Brandon to kiss her. Her lips burned at the threat of it. She would not protest, if he asked her, or if he took his caress without asking. But lit would spoil the evening. Still when chaps were decent, and had contributed

what might be called a good time for lack of a better phrase, there was but one coin with which to reward them —the coin that passed frankly as currency. But she' didn’t want Brandon to take it, and he didn’t. He held her hands and looked down Into her eyes, silently. She met his gaze steadily, unafraid, but quivering a little. She had reasoned to herself that tonight she had discovered a clew to her fear and dislike of this cynical, good looking, perfectly poised man who impressed her always as If he was taking charge of her. The woman in her leaped to the defensive before him, and with a sense of futility. Kenilworth she could battle on his own ground Brandon tortured women, she had concluded. She wasn’t ready yet to meet him fairly. But he spoke softly. “Do you know,” he said, “I shouldn’t be surprised If you’d win through, after all!” She caught her breath. “Win through? Why—what!” * * * Hi"” ""1 E dropped her hands, instantly, and his manner changed. “You must forget that," he said, mocking again. “It’s another case of a funeral with nobody dead ’ yet. At least, don’t remember it for a long time.” Georgie, her own new hats and wraps and gowns, Joanna’s shower of gifts, hung from the door top, the chandelier and either side of the mirror, so that she might prop back on the bed pillows and examine them, was awake, and waiting. She had refused all invitations for th* evening, both sentimental and hilarious, frankly admitting she couldn’t leave her wardrobe at home alone. Joanna threw off her momentary depression, the aftermath of Brandons sententiousnesa, and plunged into a gay recitai of the night’s events. Then Georgie broached her own news. “John was here tonight!” she announced. “He was at the bank today. Mr. Eggleston sent for him. Mr. Graydon, at the store, had told Mr. Egglestone what you had said—that John had suspected the place the money came from. The bank wanted to put him right. John’s got it all through his half baked mind and he’s like a bird dog that’s been pointing the wrong way.” Joanna sank onto the bed, the wistfulness haunting her eyes again. Her plans for the morrow began to crumble, and In their place rose something else, vague and unshapen, but before it she stood side by side with John. Then, with a petulant shake of her shoulders she reassembled her plans, and the arrogance came back into the tilt of her chin. “But he hurt, Georgie—l don’t think—!” "Oh, you can /arrange things to suit your self,” Georgie assured her, wisely. “He’s got six cylinders under the hood, maybe, but only one works. I’ve always told you he was full of carbon. He’s frightfully cut up.” “That’s not it. I knew he would be, some day—it wasn’t me ho suspected so much as it was anybody, any girl I mean, who’s got knees and isn’t too ashamed to show them. I’m going t<) !” “What?” Georg’e prompted her, but Joanna hit her lips and wouldn’t finish her sentence. * * * | p j TILL, fight with herself as IO I muc h as she might, nothing I ! seemed to matter so much as John. She had intended to spend the rest of the night packing her new things and her old, for she had no idea of sleep. There’d he lots of time for sleep when she was thoroughly convinced she wasn’t asleep and dreaming anyway. She had wanted just to pack and talk to Georgie through the night and shape vague things that she planned to do for her into a definite gram.This last idea Georgie dismissed at once with a practical, ’’Wait until you know where you’re at. I’ll take my fun reporting about you to old Good Morning. I always did want to land that bird. Now that you’re gone maybe I’ll get a chance.” Joanna agreed that this wouldn’t be a bad idea, and Georgie concluded: “Then when I’ve got him watch me double-cross him! That Is, maybe I will and maybe I won’t. Who knows? He’s not such a bad bird at that!” Joanna was not in,the mood to discuss Mr. Good Morning or, even, Kenilworth, who had ordered her to call him “Roddy” without further ado; or Yvonne, whose career from Cairo to London and America was as well known to Georgie as any other avid reader of the Sunday
Puzzle a Day

This is the insignia of the champion basketball team of the northeastern district. They have chosen it because they always play "on the square. And if you recut It, you will discover that it was made from a square. What is the fewest number of cuts necessary to make this insignia form a square? Last puzzle answer: The easiest way to work the last puzzle Is by process of elimination. There are only three states in the U. S. A. having four-letter names; Utah, lowa and Ohio. The answer is Ohio. A prophecy equals omen minus 0 equals men or people; a port equals harbor minus h equals arbor or a bower; a perfect pattern equals ideal minus 1 equals deal or a transaction; a jewel equals opal minus a equals pal or a friend. “Ohio” |txe the letters removed.

press, or Brandon’s Insistent andi sinister probing of her. Instead, she cross-examined Georgie patiently about John. With little success. Georgie was detached, her roving eyes engaging her attention with every new splendors creeping out in the sheen or the trim or the drape of one of the new things hanging about the room. "He said he wanted to see you and square the deal, and that he’d hunt you up tomorrow,” was all that Georgie would vouchsafe. With the morning Joanna had decided. She sent to John a brief little note that cost her an hour. She wanted him —as always and as usual. Everything was all right. They wouldn’t talk about that night when he accused her. But he must come to her—at Yvonne’s! This despatched to John's workroom in the offices of the firm where he was working up to his career, she went to the bank. The uniformed doorman remembered her. In his manner there was none of the subterfuge with which he would have met any other of the ban’s customers, even the most important, at the announcement that it was the chairman of the board himself whom the caller wished to see. He led Joanna directly through the marbled corridors, past the railings shutting In vice presidents, cashiers and other Important functionaries from whom the girl caught glances of interest. It seemed as if the entire institution was alert to her. Eggleston rose to receive her. Again she saw a great gentleness beneath the grave, austere exterior of this man whose hai’shness was a tradition that even shop girls knew. In his presence she trembled at her own audacity in coming to speak to him of her little matters. “But you may always come to me —at any time,” the banker assured her patiently . “I have made up my mind what j to do,” she told him, when she had sought some other opening and failed to find it. "It isn’t very much, just that I have found a great friend who will show me how —I mean, who will help me.” “You have the most disconcerting way of not finishing what you start to say,” Eggleston protested. He spoke shortly, with none of the soft-: ness in his voice that had been there ' a moment before. Joanna realized that she could practice no evasions with the great man. “I think I meant to say, some one who will show me how to enjoy my money,” she said uneasily. “You see you, nor Mr. Graydon, nor Mr. , Brandon will give me any advice. I don’t know what to do. I feel there | is so much I could do, and should do. I tried to win a prize one time, by thinking what I’d do if I { had a thousand dollars. I knew all j sorts of things. I think I built hos. j pltals and started schools for girls to learn howto be Mary Piekfords, | and even then I didn’t win the prize. | Now that I’ve all that you say is in , the bank for me, I can’t really think ] of a thing. I guess I want a little 'un too badly. So I’m going to learn from one who knows.” “Just a little fun, as you call it: ! hut you can buy a lot of pleasure with the money you have. Won't it pall on you after a while?’ “Perhaps. I don’t know. I’m a little bit afraid I don’t know’ much of anything, you see. So I want to learn. It’s a lot of responsibility. somebody has put ontef my shoulders, isn’t It?”
OR a time he didn’t answer. When he did he asked her abruptly: “Who Is your confidante going to be?” “I don’t suppose you know her. Miss Coutant, Yvonne Coutarrt. She’s very famous, you know, and has heaps of money of her own, men are always in love with her. Shes thrilling.” Again he was silent, and then Joanna thought there was something cold in his voice. “Yes, I know of her almost everyone does. Let's see, —is she divorced now, or married?” % “Divorced. But that doesn’t make any difference, does it?” “Not the slightest.” He spoke briefly. She was sure, now, that he had gone cold. She deckled not to dwell, after all, upon her plans. She spoke of John. “Your friend, and mine, Graydon, was deeply concernedd by your report of the young men’s misunderstanding. He gave me to believe, also, that you were disturbed by that circumstance. As your banker, I took it upon myself to protect your interests—even if those interests were, at the moment, a mere young man. If I offended, I am sorry. You are a valuable patron of the bank. I would not offend you.” "But I wanted teo tell you how happy it made me!” Joanna exclaimed. The sudden change in him distressed her. He had gone far away from hor, and she had always sensed him as very close, very close to her in some unfathomable way. ‘jl would not take the money—none

of It, If it should cost me the thing I want John to think of me!” She was gazing at him too earnestly not to see! His hardness vanished from his face and his eyes as gently as the passing of a shadow. His fingers reached out for the jade paperweight and toyed with It, as she had observed him do during her first visit to him. When he spoke again it was as If she were not there; as if he spoke to a memory: “Yes, there are times when money doesn’t count. So long as youth knows this, everything’s all right.” Joanna nodded to him, quietly, silently. At that moment she understood that something had gone from one to the other of them. But she couldn’t for the life of her, explain what. In a moment she was telling him about John; of their school days, and of their coming together again in the city when she was “on her own," and he, with neither fortune nor chance, began to build for his career. Os her hope in him, and of their plans, plans that had all gone awry. “But have they?” Eggleston interrupted. Doesn’t he figure, someway, In your prospects?” Joanna considered "Yes,” she admitted. "But I don’t know how—yes; I don’t think I’d make him happy, just yet. There’s a lot for him to learn, as there Is for me.” Then she added, brightly. “But I'll figure it all out someway! And now, may I have some more of my money? I’m going to begin to spend, you know.” (Copyright. 1925, H. L. Gates.) (To Be Continued.)
