SONIA A Story of Dangerous Love R, VIDA HURST

Through DR. DON STILLWATER. SONIA -MARSH, young and pretty, obtains a position in the San ftrauctsjo real estate office of JED THOMAS, his UI MAXINE LARUE, head of her department, invites Sonia. vIOLEI. v FERN. jINNY and FRANKIE to her 114 WAl¥eR D. HENDERSON, a wealthy bachelor of Berkeley, disapproves of Sonia living with Maxine. Sonia quarrels with BERT DONOHUE because of her infatuation toi FRANKLIN CRANE, whom he says Is a periodic drinker, and retains his position in their office because his wealthy father was a friend of Jed Thomas, but Crane explains that he is absent to take his invalid mother on long - auto tripe. Maxine notices Jed Thomas unusual interest in Sonia . a Sonia visits her Bister VERA and sees an old lriend. TOM UNDEKWOOIL who is now engaged to SlDriJ!x M VINE v> iiiii* * home for Christmas. Walter Henderson calls ana asks Sonia to 1 \Vhen she fefuses he asks her t° take time to consider it. Her parents. SAM and ANN MARSH, are favorably impressed with Henderson Sonia learns from Sidney that her cousin. GENEVIEVE, is engaged to Franklin Crane. When Sonias father asks her to explain her sudden depressed expression she bursts into leais. but will tell him nothing. She loaves hurriedly lor San r raciseo. It occurs that Crane lies to her. Maxine admits that her middle-aged friend. MAC MACGREGOR, is married. Crane lei.s Sonia his engagement was arranged by his mother, and that lie did not object for fear of affecting his mothers M-aith: that tne engagement must stand even though he never intends to marry the girl. He tells Soma lie still loves her. . In her extreme despair. Sonia promises Walter Henderson she will marry within a month, provided she does not change her mind beiore then. CHAPTER XXYII Sonia slept soundly after her rather indefinite promise to marry Walter knowledge that he would be waiting to take her away from things at the end of the month gave her an inner courage. At any rate, she told herself, she would not have to go on working at the real estate office. Would not have to face her lover day after day, knowing she was never to be anything to him. Walking to a gray day, with rain streaming down the window panes, she thought of Henderson with gratitude for his consideration and unselfishness. If she could never meet life quite so gaily again, at least she would face it cheerfully. Fortified by a night's sleep, Sonia found herself more capable of philosophy. She remembered the night after Franklin’s first kiss when she had made up her mind to accept his love, to take whatever came arid not be afraid. She had hot dreamed the loss of that same love would be the hardest thing she would have to bear. “But, if this is the result,’’ she thought, trying to be brave, “I really ought to be a better sport about it. And I’#n going to start today.” She slipped from bed and bathed and dressed before Maxine was awake. “Wake up, Sleepy Head,” • she called from behind the screen, where she was starting the breakfast. Something in her tone must have surprised Maxine, for she sat up, crying, "Oh. Sonia, everything is all Hght, Isn't It?” A mask fell over Sonia’s face. “You promised not to ask.” “I know I did, but your voice sounds so different. Haven’t you and Franklin made up?” “We have not,” Sonia declared, measuring coffee with a steady hand. “But I'm through whining about it.” Maxine’s blue eyes were wide with admiration. “Well, I’ll say this, you're the gamest little sport ever.” Sonia did not reply, but the warm praise fell like balm on her wounded heart. * * When she reached the office she began to work with a clearer brain than she had had for weeks. She was delighted to find that she was able to push all thoughts of Franklin from her mind. Walter telephoned at 10 o’clock. “Good morning, Sonia; are you half so happy as I am this morning?” “I’m very happy.” “Are you really, dear?” "Os course!” &&& keeps die (Win clear WAKE up the sleeping beauty in your skin!

“It’s sweet Os you to say so. I’m going to be busy all day, but I’ll come for you about seven and we’ll celebrate, shall we?” “That would be she answered, appreciatively. He would always be like that. Arranging pleasant little surprises for' her. “He knows how to treat a girl,” she thought with a gnawing sense of resentment against the man she loved. Then, resolutely closing her heart to Franklin again, she went to work. At noon when she went out lunch, she saw Franklin busy *at his desk with his mail. She forced a cold little smile to meet his wretched eyes. He was suffering, she could see. “But I can’t help it,” she told werself sensibly. She ordered a substantial lunch and ate it. In the afternoon near closing time, Franklin came to her desk. With his blue gaze beating upon her, he asked, “May I see you tonight?” “I’m going to be busy.” “Tomorrow night, then?” “No,” she said evenly. “I think the less we see of each other the better.” He leaned so close to her that her foolish heart began to palpitate wildly. She had only to turn her cheek to have touched his hair. “Sonia, don’t drive me too far!” “What do you mean?” “I rlfcan I won’t stand being treated like this when I know you love me!” “Don’t be too sure of that!” she retorted. "And why not? Has anything happened since last night?” “Quite a lot'has happened. I feel entirely different about the whole affair.” His face was white and puzzled. “I don’t understand.” “You will before the end of the month,” she replied, recklessly. Violet was eyeing them with her usual curiosity, so he was forced to pass on. But when she was leaving the office at 5 o’clock he stopped her, sqying, “I’m going to take you home.” "I’m with Maxine,” she objected. "I’ll take you both, then!” snapped Franklin. When they reached the apartment Maxine ran in, leaving Sonia with him. “Now, I want to know,” he insisted, “what you mean by that threat you made.” “I wasn’t making a threat. I merely said you’d understand soon.” “You said in a month.” “All rfght. That’s what I mean.” “Something Is going to happen in a month to show me?” Sonia was annoyed at her unusual laclfc of reticence. "If you wish to put it that way, yes.” He was silent a moment, then he begged, “Who are you going out with tonight?” “That doesn’t concern you.” “But it does. Because I love you, sweetheart, just as much as ever. Is it Walter Henderson?" Feeling her heart soften at his changing tone, Sonia took refuge in brusqueness. “Supposing it is?” "Because if it is, by God, I won’t stand for it! I’ve suspected his little game all along. The dirty dog!” “He has asked me to marry him,” Sonia cried angrily. “And I am thinking seriously of doing it.” He stiffened with amazement. “Sonia, you wouldn’t?” He’s so much older. You can’t!” “You’ll see!” she cried, stung into fury. "And if I do I shall consider myself very fortunate.” She jumped from the car and ran in without another word. She heard him tearing down the street but did not look back. Then she went inside and dressed carefully for Walter Henderson. She accepted his kiss without flinching. “I’ll get used to it after awhile,” she thought, complacently. They dined and danced at the \Palace. He left her at her door wish a tenderly affectionate farewell. And for the second time since her quarrej with Franklin she fell into deep, childlike slumber. But the nest day %vhen Franklin did not appear at the office she found herself stopping her work to listen for him. When Walter telephoned, his well-modulated voice grated on her tense nerves. “I’ll have to go to bed early tonight,” she said. That night, she sat before the open fire, listening for the telephone

above the wind and rain. But it did not ring. At midrfight she went to bed to lie, wide eyed, staring into the dark. Franklin did not come to the office again that week. On New Year's Eve she hurried home from the office to dress for her, engagement with Walter. She was feeling utterly drained of life. The prospect of a gay party at the St. Francis held no allure. The future stretched bleakly befort her. “It will be like this the rest of my life,” she thought, grimly. “All Walter's kindness can’t help me. I will dress, evening after evening, for pinners and theater parties and dances, but there won’t be any kick to it.” As she came up to the apartment she found Franklin's car at the curb. He sat at the wheel, looking ill and miserable. But at the sight of him, waiting for her in the rain, something, which had been silent for days, broke into wild sweet singing in Sonia’s heart. “"What do you want, Franklin?” His voice was broken with jealousy and longing as he replied, “Won’t you let me talk to you, Sonia, please? I suppose you’re going out with Henderson, but it won’t take roe long,” Her eyes, meeting his, were sad but very kind. “Come inside,” she said.

Watson and Arthur R. Robinson, Republican senatorial candidates, it became known today. With few exceptions all Republican candidates are indorsed as “favorable in the Klan “information” slate. The slate indorses Watson*and Robinson as "favorable,” but scores Charles L. Biederwolf, Ft. Wayne, G. O. P. candidate for clerk of the Tstate Supreme Court, as “unfavorable.” Aihprt Stump and Evans Woollen, Democratic senatorial nominee?, are designated as “neutral.” Reports that Mrs. Grace Urbahns, O. O. P. State treasurer candidate, is to be made an official “goat” were strengthened in her slate listing as “neutral.” The Remy family. Republican leaders for many years, suffered Klan-Cdffin opposition in the listing of Charles F. Remy, candidate for judge of the Appellate Court as “neutral.” Prosecutor William H. Remy, who now is investigating the misdeeds of prominent politicians, received little aid from the Klan-Coffin combine. He is listed as “favorable,” but his opponent, Raymond P. Murray, raceived the same listing. Judge Frank J. Lahr of Juvenile Court likewise was listed as "unfavorable.” L. J.

Robinson was leader with twelve lines, while Woollen received only five. • Representative Ralph Updike took the inside track from his Democratic opponent, William B. Headrick, with a listing of “dry of record” as opposed to the simple “dry” for Headrick. The publication launched a vicious attack Upon Supreme Court Judge Julius C. Travis, devoting fifty-seven lines to scoring him. The League also scored Criminal Court Judge James A. Collins as “record unsatisfactory; should be defeated,” and praised his Democratic opponent, Clarence E. Weir, as “dry of record; one of the dry Democratic leaders who helped make Indiana a dry state, high grade, clean and fearless; ought to be elected.” Charles (Buck) Sumner, Democratic candidate for sheriff, is designated as “very undesirable." Prosecutor Remy was indorsed as ‘“dry of record. A fearless prosecutor. Has made a remarkable record. Underworld trying to defeat him.

Castoria has been used for baby’s ailments for over 30 years and has merited the good will of the family physician in a measure not equaled by any other baby’s medicine because of its harmlessness and the good results achieved. And remember this: Castoria is essentially a baby’s remedy and not a cure-all for every member of the family. What might help you is too often dangerous when givpn to a babe. To avoid imitations always look for the signature of Proven directions on each package. Physicians everywhere recommend it.
