She couldn't see Ramon’s letter. But that corner of the envelope protruding from tho scarf stuck in her mind like a sharp little knife. All evening it had stuck there. “I’m not going to read itl I’ll NEVER read it! He has no business doing this. Lord, he doesn’t own me!" But she went over and fingered (he envelope, her blood going heavily and with heat the way it does when one is stifling with apprehension. She was afraid not to read the letter. She tore it. across. Here and there the paper was blurred and crumpled with peculiar marks as thought he had held tho pages against his mouth and bitten them. • * • “You have betrayed me, You have broken your faith. No wonder you shrank from meeting me. I seemed a ghost come back to torture you. My love is now a villainy in your eyes; an impertinence. It was not always this. ‘May you not remember as I am now remembering. May you not recall your arms upreached; our arms entwined. Your lips on my Ups; your lips on my eyes. I have kissed your feet—your little cold feet. I have knelt to you. I have poured away my thoughts and hope on you. "Now you are gone. You have turned coldly from me. Without one regret—longing to be done with me. 1 asked you to kiss me. And you suffered this, smiling—your lips muter than a statue's. "Then you ran your hand over my head, pitying me. I drank your pity. “Why do you pity me? Becuuso my love is a thing that doesn't die? What I wanted once, I still want. Because having taken you as wife of heart and soul and body, I would hold you? “You Pity me for this. Strange reasoning, as though I am weak because my emotion endures. “Are you then strong because you find it easy to rid your heart of me? Are you strong because your feeling is gone and having loved me madly for an hour you now love me not at all? “Yes—loved me madly—turned to me with your luminous and haunting eyes. Put your fair hands on my face, thrilling me with what an insanity of pride and joy—- “ God help me that I live to see you turning to another; God keep me from the madness, the abject, despondent madness now creeping like a beast upon me. “I fight it. I hold furiously to what strength is left. I am quiet now. “Good-by, Sandy. Let nothing that I do trouble you. "Let me thank you. T would thank you for your lips. And for your hands. And for your eyes that in an hour of Infinite, heartbreaking beauty have been mine—” * * Sandy held the letter stiffly before her. Those peculiar marks made in an Imperfect circle as i hough he pressed the page against his mouth and bit into it— She sank at the bed, flinging her arms across it, abandoned to the suffocating tide that now surged over her. Ramon would kill himself. She was sure of this. She saw his brown, emaciated face ns he sat with his hand pressed.

against his mouth; heard his voice in a monotony so piercing it conjured loneliness and wasted places. Then as he turned with that desolating humility to ask: -“You care somewhat for me, Sandy? Let me kiss you. Will you not kisS me?" She cowered from these images. She brought him to this, lie was no longer a lnughlng, vital fellow whose graceful strength sent a quiver of delight along her nerves. She whispered: “He’s sick. It’s the fever. Lord, I ought to go to him. He noeds some one—” And suddenly she remembered the package of clothes he had sent her —that smart, knitted coat.. How big and gallant he was about it when she said it must be Just a lban. He clasped his arms about her shoulders and said: “Poor little darling! l>o you think I caro how or why you’re taking it? I'm so glad it's I you chose to serve you. Hecause I love you greatly." She got up dizzily and M'ent feeling along the wall. She turned her face against it. v She thought: “He's done it by now.” Sho began to tremble. Where was he? She didn’t even know where he was staying. And again she said: “I suppose It’s over by now—" , Sho ran into the closet and got down her coat. She stood with it In her, hands, half fainting, with the warmth throbbing in her veins. She said aloud: “I've nothing to cling to! God —what ought I do?” "If I knew where he is. Go —I ought to go—one good thing—go back to him—" Then she remembered Judith and that she told Judith she was going away to save Douglos. Sho couldn’t check these protesting sobs. "But I am! I won’t let him come. No —He can’t ' come. Oh, God —God of Heaven | With her head ducked as though I she were being lashed she went ; lightly, half running up and down 1 the room. The phone rang. It was Ramon, j She had to make him repeat because j of the muffled thundrer and the dizziness In her head. “Did you get my letter, Sandy?” j “Yes. Speak louder, Ramon. I I can’t hear jJ>u.’’ "I won’t keep you long. I Just wanted u> hear your voice before I went. I’ve phoned to say good-by—-:to hear you say good-by to me, {Good-by, Sandy, darling.” "Where are you going, Ramon? Why do you speak in such a queer tone?” "Does it seem queer th you, Sandy? I'm going away—for a along time. Will yoh say / good-by to me? I've just a longing to talk with you. Would you come and see me a moment? No —no, you wouldn't do that —” “Where are you, Ramon? What In ! the world Is the matter?" "Didn't you hear, Sandy? I’m going away. I’d like to see you a j moment first —" “Tell me where you are, Ramon, j Listen—” i “Never mind, Sandy. I see you | don’t wish it. I see you have no wish for another hour with me. I had a few things I wanted to give you. I’ll mall them. It’s just is well—” "I'll come! Ramon—of course. I'll come. Tell me where you are and. wait for me— ’’ She pressed her mouth against the receiver, so hard it made a dark blue ring on her lips. She listened to his voice giving the name of a I building. It seemed to come across miles of heaving fogs—a call, moaning and faint sent out in agony from a forgotten, fog-blind waste. “He means to kill himself! Oh, God—God!" She was cold and shaking in every limb. .. * It was 9 o’clock. She scribbled a note and left the door of her room ajar. The note was for Douglas. She told him little: “I’ve gone to town on important business. If you wish, drive down and wait for me somewhere near Market and Third. Y'ou might stand near the cigar store at the southeast corner, I’ll meet you

there as soon as I can.” She took a taxi —driving through the clear-, starry night. She suddenly remembered the darkness that first ,time she had gone with such an exultant, guilty sense of adventure to meet Ramon at the pier. The black shadows, a throb with the boom of the sea encompassing' her. ... She felt that she were plunging into shadows now plunging to an ominous and terrible doom. * • * She knew this building. On the third floor Ramon had an office. She didn't wait for the elevator but Went up the narrow stairs. * . He must have heard her step for he opened the door before she had i- chance to knock. He closed it softly after her, opened his arms. “You came!” She smiled, standing white and motionless. “Why did you come, Sandy?” "What is the matter, Ramon?" By sheer force of will she went toward him, closed her eyes when his irms enfolded her. "Love of j;ou, Sandy. Why did vou come? I hoped you wouldn’t -ome!” She shivered—feeling his burning ips on hers. "Did you come because <f love? Bccfuise of fear?” "Ramon—don't talk so. You’re o excited.” He smiled. "You’re right. I am ■xcited, I'm going to take you with me, Sandy. Did you know v I’m to take you with me?" "Where are you going, Ramon?"

"Will you come? Why are your lips so pale, Y'ou're frightened? Are you afraid of mo, Sandy? No —you mustn’t be. Tell me, do you love this Douglas? Have you kissed him? your arrne upreached to him? What is he to you?” “Oh God, Ramon, what makes you so! You're holding me too tight. Let me go, Ramon—dear Ramon—” “No, I’m not letting you go, Sandy. Didn’t you understand? Why don't you answer? Did you come because you love me? Will you go with me?” * • • He looked so thin. His eyes glowed. An ashen pallor about his mouth. And she stared at him. She tried to put up her hand and touch his face. She was paralyzed with fear and began talking playfully—smiling—suing for time—"Ah, don’t, Sandy! Don’t trick me! Why do you force me to it? Let me you just once just once. You won't answer—that's because you won't come—you're tired of me—so I must take you —■” “God—Ramon, what do you mean —oh, no. Don't do that!” She tried to clutch his arm—to take his hand. And he said wildly: ‘-‘Don’t be frightened, Sandy. Do you see what I have— She gave a whimpering cry, tried to push from him, seeing the pistol gleaming in his hand. {To Be Continued)

Golf knickers are becoming popular with the advent of real summer weather and many shades and varieties are being displayed by local stores. The separate knickers are shown in plaids, checks and tweeds of the darker colors. Many white, light brown, and light patterns are on sale, however. Suits with extra golf knickers are popular, merchants said. These may be had in light and dark browns and the darker tweeds. Golf socks are more vivid and colorful then ever before, if that is possible. They are shown in every shade including pink. It seems to be a case of closing your eyes and picking.
