Beautiful JOANNA MANNERS, clerk No. 27, is summoned by HARKNESS, the buyer, to appear before her employer, Mr. Graydoti, who delivers an ovei-whtiining message. Someone whose identity she is not to know has placed 51,000.000 on deposit at the Metropolitan Bank subfeet to her personal cheek. Graydon convinces her there are no obligations and has his chauffeur take her to the banker. Andrew Egrsrleston, Graydon’s old friend. That evening when Joanna hopes to tali confidentially with plain JOHN WITMORE, her fiance, she finds also the eloquent and wealthy FRANCIS BRANDON, her banker’s nephew, waiting In the drawing room. Brandon departs after being assured of a later engagement. Joanne offers to share her fortune with John, but ne will not believe her story and departs with coldness. Brandon introduces her to YVONNE COOTANT. famous society divorcee, whose partner. Roddy Kenilworth, rich, romantic idler, admits he will try Ills hand for Joanna. He knows Brandon is the one thing Yvonne desires that she hasn't got. . ____ Joanna leams from her chum GEORGIE, that John is willing to apologize since speaking with Eggleston. She sends a note. Joanna goes to live with Yvonne, where she meets MRS. DORIS MARKS a MR. PENDLETON and LORD TEDDY DORMINSTER. who loses no time in courting Joanna. John attends Joanna's coming-out party and realizes that her new setting has placed a greait abyss between them. By H. L. Gates CHAPTER XVIII A Kiss you don’t like my hapI piness?” Joanna said. ‘‘You 1 - " don’t want me to have what my money has made possible for me?” “I haven’t said anything of that meaning,” John declared. ‘‘l want nothing else In the world so much as I want you to have happiness, biit I wish you could have with it something of real joy, something of the joy of doing things, big things, out of the opportunities that have come your way. I am afraid you will never know that sort of feeling. Perhaps it is all right that you shouldn’t. Money will mean one thing to you; it would mean something else to me. As it so often does where love is the bargain, it has come between us.” “You mean that because of this we must give up—give up each other?” She was still very quiet, and patient. “What else can we do? How Is there any room, or place for me? The little house, with a parlor and kitchen that we planned would hardly he serviceable to you now, would It?” "But, John, we could still build that same house. That Is one thing I want to do, right away.” She smiled a little. Only we can make it larger ,and with more to it than just a kitchen and parlor—fountains and gardens, and balaonies, and the stairways and panelled halls we used to joke about when we saw them In the movies. We can have all those things now, John, th it we laughted about. It will be jut the house we planned, enlarged to fit my million. Will there be anything wrong about that?” She saw the stubbornness that she always hated, settle deeper in his eyes. “No,” he returned; “It can’t be worked out that way, Jo. I’d never live with you in a house you'd paid for, even with money given you for a reason that I hope will turn out to be all right. You see, I, too, have plans. You know them, even if you never cared much about listening to them. I’ve got to make my way. The career I want is one that can’t be bought. You can’t give it to me like you would a birthday present. Different, you see, from yours.” She looked at him from widened eyes. She wondered at her own calm. She was not hurt as she ha,d been that night aat Mrs. Adams’, when John repulsed her. He was not doing that sort of thing again. Now he was quietly stubbornly taking himself out of her life. A wild impulse to run upstairs, wrap herself in a cloak and run out Into the street with him, thrilled her for a moment and then lapsed into the deadly calm that puzzled her. “But John,” she said; “I love you. I have always loved you. Why must you make such a fuss about the money? It won’t change me, not so much ns it has changed you.” He interrupted her. "That’s just it! It won’t change you. It has only brought you out of yourself, and revealed you. This sort of thing won’t get you any place, In the end. It la not the background for a girl, no matter how good she is—and I believe, Joe, as I always have that you’re good. You will stay good just as long as you can. I shall always want you, but I just can't have you. Can I?” • • * eIS last words were a pleading for his justification. It would have been better, perhaps, if he had not spoken them. They reminded Joanna that he was one who would not, could not, understand her, or, one like her. Still, she wasn’t hurt. She suffered, because her heart was turning over. She longed for him, wanted to yield to him as he would have had her yield to his fears for her and to his ideas that she should be some other rind of girl, but she realized that It would all be useless. She would never be content with all enchantments taken cut of the world that had suddenly become so lavish to her. “Then you won’t be coming back, you won’t accept things as they are nnd come back to me-” she asked.
Acid Stomach “Phillips Milk of Magnesia” Better than Soda
Hereafter, instead of soda take a little “Phillips Milk of Magnesia’’ in water any time for indigestion or sour, acid, gassy stomach, and relief will come instantly. For fifty years genuine "Phillips Milk af Magnesia’’ has been prescribed by physicians because it overcomes three times as much acid in the stomach as a saturated solution of bicarbonate of soda, leaving the stomach sweet and free from all ?ases. It neutralizes acid fermentations in the bowels and gently urges the souring w r aste from the system without purging. Besides, it is more pleasant to take than soda. Insist upon "Phillips.’’ Twenty-five-cent bottles, any drug store. —Advertisement.
“If you still want me, when I have made my own way, and have money of my own, I will be wanting you," he said slowly. She probed his words and understood what he really meant. “You mean,” she said, "that you still want me enough, even, to take me, no matter what 1 shall have become, by then? Isn’t that it?” He wouldn’t answer her. She continued: “Was it because you think that I should be drab, and a killjoy, and go Into a shell and hide, except when some prudish chaperon is satisfied that I have enough clothes outside of me and enough false shyness inside of me to make it safe for her to take me out for a walk in a churchyard, that you spent more than an hour shut away in here with Yvonne? She doesn’t walk about with her eyes on the ground and her mind on the purities of the lily. Didn't you suffer —all alone with her?” “We were talking of you,’’ he replied, shortly. “Yes,” she retorted, her eyes narrowed a bit, “there’s a man who coaxed me into the winter garden just a little while ago, and spent the whole time talking of his wife.” She knew that she was being utterily foolish, and childish, and irrelevant. But still she watched John curiously. For some reason he thought it necessary to explain. “When I told her I was going and wanted to say good night, as I should, she brought me in here. Before I realized it I got to telling her how much I do love you, and why I can’t have you. That was all. She told me, of course, that I was a fool. She Is one who would think so.” “And so am I, John,” Joanna told him, quickly. * • • KENILWORTH opened the door. When he saw that John was still there he would have gone away and closed the door behind him. Joanna called him back. “Mr. Wilmore is just leaving,” she explained, eyeing John, coolly. “And I don’t want to go out and dance just yet. I want you to stay in here and talk to me.” It would have been’ an awkward moment If Roddy had been one ever to be at a loss to meet any situation. His wisdom seldom failed. He chaffed her and said good night to the younger man with an ease that cleared the atmosphere. When John went out Joanna did not get up from the couch. She held out her hand to him and when he took it she wrapped her fingers about his and held them for a moment. There were no words between them. Roddy went over and gently closed the door, which John had left opened- When he stood over the girl her head dropped onto her arm. She had drawn her knees under her. As Roddy took note of her he concluded that just then she was not thinking of herself, or of anything about herself. Instinctively he sensed the slow swaying of a scale beam, weighted at either end with two precious bits of magic. And he knew that one end of the scale was slowly dropping. He wondered which end would be heaviest. Without a warning rustle the limp figure on the couch straightened and rose. Roddy knew how the scale had turned. He was startled by the change In Joanna. Her poise was new, and almost regal. There was something haughty and something else defiant and dangerous in her. “I wopder,” she asked him, stirring him with a look from between her lids that he had not caught before, “If you would think me very silly If I should ask you to do a very silly thing.” His answer was the obvious one. And it was obvious, also, that he should go a little closer to her. The message in her eyes made it so. “I want you to kiss me,” she said. • * * E drew her up to him instantly. His lips had almost i___J brushed her’s when she suddenly pressed him back—again that trick with her hands. “I want to tell you something, first!” she exclaimed. “It isn't you Roddy, that I want to kiss me—anyone would do just now. There’s something on my lips, something that was put there a little while ago, I want taken off—it needs a kiss to do it. Because you happen to be here I am asking you. You see I must be fair to you—since I am doing the asking.” “One explains a kiss afterward, never before,’’ he murmured, and caught her hands and held them. She yielded her lips completely. She felt that she was being wrapped in a burst of tame. She closed her eyes so that she would not see what
Puzzle a Day
This verbal wheel is composed of well-known words. The eight spokes are four-letter words. The first letters of the spokes form the rim. The last letters of the spokes form the hub. Spoke 1 equals penny; spoke 2 equals grayish white; spoke 3 equals thought; spoke 4 equals to jump; spoke 5 equals profound; spoke G equals heavy cord; spoke 7 equals pitcher; spoke 8 equals sleeps. What words form the rim and hub? Last puztle answer: In the Michigan football practice game, the first pass was given as 11 yards. The second was therefore, 33 yards, and the third, 44 yards. For the second was equal to the first pass plus of the third (11 plus 22 equals 33). While the third was equal to the first plus the second (11 plus. 33. equals 44).
Storyofa Modern Girl and a Million Dollars
was in his. tut she gave herself to the caress without stint. When he released hor she said: “There! You mustn’t spoil it by demanding another. I want to go out to the party, now, and dance. And I’m going to flirt outrageously with Teddy Dorminster. He has been begging me to discover how sentimental he can be all evening. But I still want you to do something else for me. I want you to make sure that Yvonne knows you kissed me, and that I allowed it. You don’t need to say I asked you to, but you may say that I didn't take my lips away.” Within half an hour Joanna was hidden away, in the safest corner of the winter garden, with young Teddy. She had promised him only fifteen minutes. She granted him but a few more, despite his pleadings that one couldn’t crowd an eternity into such a short space of time. She Insisted that he find Brandon and bring him to her. “He has not been nice to me, tonight, she exclaimed. “And I want to be nice, too.” She laughed at that rhetorical mix-up and sent him away. • • * iODDY KENILWORTH, when D ho had turned her over to * Dorminster, went back into the morning room. When he had made himself a drink, out of the bottles in the cabinet, he settled back In a chair and fell to studying the ceiling. When Yvonne looked in he explained that his brain had become twisted around a conundrum and that he couldn't take an interest in anything or anybody outside until he’d straightened it out. When the hilarious guests, some of them frankly boisterous, began to reassemble into their original groupings and say .their good nights, Joanna's gorgeous gown was crushed, her shimmering hair fluffed and her face sparkling. That night had been like wine to her and she was vital with the stimulus of it. Dorminster wanted to linger at his parting, but she mocked at him. When she saw that his face clouded she was prettily peniteht and gave him her hand to kiss- To Kenilworth she was more serious. She looked up at him rather shyly. “You know,” he said, “I am taking a very marvelous memory with me!” “Be good to it,” was all the comfort she would give him. Yvonne was confessedly weary, “I always shudder at the sight of the debris after a night like this,” she informed Joanna when the hist guest had gone merrily on his way. “Shull we go up stairs to my room. We can talk It all over, for awhile. A party must be talked about before one goes to bed, you know.” * • • mHEY talked until the sun broke into Yvonne’s boudoir. Then Joanna, in her tight fitting pajamas and transparent, rolled down boudoir socks, obeyed Yvonne's command that she run along for at least two hour’s of sleep. She didn’t sleep, however, but sat in her canopied bed, her knees drawn up, her chin resting on them. Martha, her own maid, found her sitting there on the unmussed coverlets which were just as they had been turned down the night before, the warm sunlight bathing her figure and making a gay caprice of her gold hmwn head. The pearls which had been her only jeweled ornament still glistened around her throat. A flower that had remained pinned to her dress throughout the evening, was crushed on the floor. Joanna saw Martha come in. but looked at her blankly for almost a. min ite before she comprehended her. Then she curtly ordered her bath. Brandon had arranged with her for the visit, that day, to Eggleston at his home on the avenue. They

planned for Joanna to pick Brandon up at his own office in a downtown skyscraper, and drive him, in her new and smart cabriolet, to the Eggleston mansion This appointment had been for 1 o’clock, as they were to lunch with the banker. The cabriolet, with his chauffeur in gray that matched the silken loveliness within, drew up in front of Yvonne’s shortly after 11. Joanna, soft and fraceful and elegant in beautiful fox trimmed mole, a little black hat pulled down over her eyes, and carrying a pliant swagger stick in her hand, tripped lightly down the steps and Into her ear. Martha had turned her out quickly, to make it possible for her to meet her car so soon after 11. Yet there was nothing of drowsiness in her face or her eyes. She was alert, vibrant and confident of the supreme perfections of her appearance. She made her driver put his head inside the door while she gave him Instructions —orders that seemed explanation and repetition. The car did not go down the avenue in the swiftly moving panorama of other smart cabriolets, toward the office building where Brandon, later would be waiting for her. Instead it turned into one of the dark streets, also avenues, but only In name, and moved swiftly between the pillars of the elevated railroad into neighborhoods most visited by delivery and freight vans. It came at last to a cross street which pierced a district of tenements of the better grade—old dwellings made into furnished rooms and cramped housekeeping flats; much the kind of homes as that which had been Joanna's, at Mrs. Adams’. The chauffeur scanned the house number, many of which were hidden. Joanna gave him more directions through her speaking tube. He stopped just beyond a comer and opened the cabriolet door. “It is the fourth house from here, on this side,” Joanna explained. “You will recognize it by the sign at the side of the door- It reads ‘John Wilmore, Architect.' There’ll be an old.woman with a rag tied around her head come to the door—if any of the children answer you. tell them to get the old woman; she's the landlady. She's all right, if she doesn't think you’re*an officer come to take her In for having a flowerpot or something on the fire escape. If she does, she'll slam the door in your face, so you’d better stick this bill in her hands as soon as she sees you. Then she'll tell you If Mr. Wilmore is in. If he is, give her another bill and tell her to keep her mouth shut about the inquiry. If he Isn't, tell her that I'm coming in to talk to her.” (Copyright. 1925, H. L. Gates.) (To Ite Continued)
