THE STORY SO EAR SANDY McNEIL, in love with lif. marries BEN MURILLO. a rich Italian to please her impoverished family. Ty ranny by Murillo and frequent quarrels follow. A soil dies at birth. HOB Mr NEIL, her uncle, aids in plans for Sandy and her mother to take a. trip to Hono lulu. There she meets RAMON WORTH, who saves her life in the surf. On the same steamer home he declares his love. Murillo says he will never release her. •TUDITH MOORE a cousin, tells Sandy lore is everything. Murillo overtakes her as she goes for a. tryst with Ramon. He appears, unexpectedly, at a party she is giving for her friends. After the Party he strikes her. She leaves his “house and accepts the kindly attentions of Ramon, whose home she shares. He spends a week there with her and then returns to his office in the city. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER 60 A month passed. She heard no .tvord from her mother. The letters 'roni Alice came at longer intervals. “Soon they'll forget me," Sandy thought, anc\ she grew sick with he coldness in her heart. She looked forward all week to Saturday. Then Ramon came. Friday was a terrible day. She ivould sit at the typewriter holding herself there by main force, pretendng to ignore the quickness of her Jreath, the burning a.nd unrest. She you Id give lip and go out to walk on the beach. Then the thought# and questions pushed down with such desperate resolution broke hash. “What are you. Sandy McNeil! That have you done? Where is this :oing to end? Wh°re can it end?” And shocking phrases leaped to ler tongue; phrases to characterize lerself and her position here in this ouse of Ramon’s.

At night she stood before a mirror, lost in the contemplation of her rwn image. She would smile at he pale, vivid fa.ee before her, thinking how young it seemed, how sweet \nd untried. There she was—just ike that. No other Sandy existed — 10 reckless spirit who had thrown aution to the winds.' She was this irlish image. She bowed to It, assuming many lifferent expressions, talking ah iently. "Girls adore themselves. Every girl, no matter how plain, can see ittraction in her own face. Else why do we look at ourselves so nuch? I think I'm beautiful. My ;yes are entrancing. Alice has the :ame thoughts. T've caught her gazng at herself ages at a stretch, the thinks she’s far better looking han I.” Her pulse would begin to beat , 'ery quickly because these words vere spoken to conceal her agita■The agitation rose. She saw her Bsm experience grotV tense, the Byrds of her throat tighten. She f uirmured: “I look just the same. Jo one would guess. Why am T laying this? As though I cared? 3ut I don’t. It was inevitable. It vas fated from beginning. In he cards for me!" She meant by'this her relation vith Ramon was foredoomed. She tometimes felt she’d been prophetc&lly aware of it from their first neeting: she'd been certain of it Iron the night on the boat when her lands had so impetuously reached !o his neck —when she kissed him in ;hat moment of intoxicating, reckless joy. So now it had happened. She lay awake smiling against the clash and fever. * * * Then he came. They drove and walked and swam. She abandoned herself to the giddy delight of companionship, the joy of someone striding along at her side; someone stooping unexpectedly for a swift, ardent kiss. “This is living! This Is gay and freehand sweet. A right to it? Who gives a damn whether we’ve a right to it or not! I don't.” She said this to him once as she came laughng out of the water. He looked stricken. He became quiet and sober. “T wish we had a right to it, Sandy. I wish we could get the right to it.” “We have. We think we have. W'hat else counts?” “Nothing—nothing! We can shut out the world. We can live just for each other—’’ * • • She became oppressed. Shortly aftfr this the woman at the postoffice said to her: “Are you keeping the cottage through the summer?” “I’m not sure,” Sandy Answered hastily. “I was wondering if you were leaving. In fact, I thought you had 'gone. I thought I saw Mr. Worth fast Saturday.” Sandy turned her letters in a pretended absorption, feeling the blood creep hotly to her cheeks. “Oh, did you?” She ripped open an envelope, hurried from the place. She became self-conscious, as though the whole village had found her out. They had all seen Ramon —they all knew he was there on Sat-

urday and Sunday. There would be rumors of her. .. .ugly things said. “But you don't care,” a voice reminded. “No, I don't care!” And tlie woman In the posloffice—all the men and women who might talk of her became hideous. They were small—bigoted—dead. They were living in the past. They had no youth—no emotions. “Why are these things wrong?” She thought of • all the kind, thoughtful things Ramon did. Hoy eager he was to please her. How delightful It was to run down from a hill hand in hand. .. . Imagine Ben Murillo doing such a thing! But the relation was right —and tiiis one was wrong. •* * * She paced the long, shadowy room listening to the throbbing stillness. She stopped before the typewriter, gave it a vicious shove. Suddenly she said aloud: “I know it well enough " She became breathless and hot. Yes—-she knew enough to get a job. For some time she had suppressed this admission —thinking, “Next week!” She dreaded the thought of going into an office. She visualized herself going somewhere and asking for work —then keeping at this grind year after year. It seemed incredible that she had really come to this-’pAss— that no one was dofrhr anything for lier. They just let her go as though her fate was no longer any concern of theirs. She was out orv her owui. “I'll get a job."'she said quietly. Os course, get a. job—she was now ashamed to think she had delayed this. She said aloud —feeling her fresh scarlet: “What am I if I stay on here? Yes —what!” But if she worked—when she was making her own way.then she could talk of freedom—of bra Very.

There was a letter from her Uncle Bob McNeil. This- confirm# and hastened her resolution. He wrote “Dear Little Kid: .Sorry I wasn't iri these parts when all his hap penerl. Just got in the other day and learned the low-down from Alice. Write me where you’re working and when I'm in Los Angeles I'll come and have lunch with you. Have you got a permanent job yetV T want to talk over your plans and aid you if I can.” “I went to see Murillo—talked hours with him. Don’t figure on a divorce. He won’t grant it. He can get it easily—without any trouble. All you would need is to write him a letter saying you have absolutely left him. But he Is wild-eyed. He says a divorce -won't free him. He won’t let you get it and he won’t get It himself. “So that's pretty tough, little kid. But don’t give up. I have a suspicious he's doing a bit of high flying. Os course, that's the hardest thing in the world to prove. ...but I'm On the job. “In the meantime you'll get by. You know' you always could. T’m inclosing this remembrance. If you need more now' or later, I’m your uncle and don’t forget it.” Enclosed was a check for SIOO. Three days later Sandy went to San Jose. She answered ads. In a week she had a job as filing clerk in an insurance office. She earned $65 a, month. Her hoard and room in a private family took $45 of this. She wrote to Ramon. He came over the week-end. Whin it was dark they drove back along the coast. He was exited and unnerved: “Now—Sandv—AJod—is this the beginning of the end?” (To Re Continued.) N. A.

MARRY YOUNG IS ADVICE Chicago Court Official Gives Ideas About Matchmaking. Ftv Thttrs Fipectnl CHICAGO, April 2. —Several years as assistant State’s attorney In the Chicago C.>urt of Domestic Relations have given Miss Marie Andersen some definite ideas about successful matchmaking. “Marry when you are hetween 20 and 24. Marry someone within a year of your own age,” was her advice 4 “Every day,” paid Miss Anderson, “I see marriages of people who are too young or too old go completely on the rocks. Before a person is 24 or 25 he still has a few of the ideals pf youth. It pays to enter marriage with a. few Ideals unshattered by age or experience.”
