SONIA A Story of Dangerous Love - Pu VIDA HURST -

Through DR. DON STILLWATER. SONIA MARSH, young and pretty, obtains a position in * tne San Francisco real estate office of JED THOMAS, his uncle. MAXINE LARUE, head of her department. invites Sonia. VIOLET, FERN. JINNY and FRANKIE to her liquor party. WALTER D. HENDERSON, a wealthy bachelor of Berkeley, disapproves of Sonia living with Maxine. Sonia quarrels with BERT DONOHUE because of her infatuation for 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 ho is absent to take his invalid mother on long auto trips. Maxine notices Jed Thomas' unusual interest in Sonia, Sonia visits her sister VERA and sees an old friend. TOM UNDERWOOD, who is now engaged to SIDNEY MAINE. Maxine admits that her middle-aged friend. MAC MACGREGOR, is married. Crane tells Sonia his engagement to Genevieve Erickson was arranged by hts mother, that he never intends to marry the girl, although the engagement can not be broken for fear of the bad effect on his mother's health. fn her extreme despair Sonia promises Henderson she will marry him within a month provided she does not change her mind before then. ANN and SAM MARSH, Sonia’s parents, are favorably impressed with Henderson. After a week’s absence from the offtre. Sonia finds Crane waiting at her door on New Year’s Eve. CHAPTER 28 He followed her into the cold living room. It was dark and Sonia only turned on one lamp. Standing in its orange glow she faced him, waiting with a suddenly racing heart. t He was very humble. “Sonia, I am trying to be reasonable. I realize that I have no right to attempt to influence you. . . He waited, hoping, perhaps, for her contradiction. But she said nothing, so he was forced to continue. “As I have explained to you, I cannot alter the fact of my own engagement just now.” “I don’t ask you to, Franklin.” “But so long as I don’t, you won’t be anything to me?” "We can always be friends.’ “Hell, wha.t possibility is there of friendship between us, ever?” The riot of excitement/ surging through every vein made her agree. “Sonia, we love each other. In reality nothing is different between, us. You know that I’m engaged;! that’s all. But there is no real change in our relations.” "My knowing it makes all the difference in the world to me,” she contended. “Why should it, when I have explained that it can never come to anything? Can’t you trust me. Sonia? Mother may not have a year to live. Her -death, much as it will grieve me, will release me instantly. You are young, dear. Would it be so hard for you to wait?” "It would be impossible for me to share your love with another girl.” He took her hands. "It would be wicked for you to marry Walter Henderson, feeling as you do about me. Besides he is too old for you. His life is half lived. Y'ou couldn’t endure it after a saw months. Would that be fair to him?” “If I marry him 111 play the game.” \ "But you won’t marry him, will you, darling? T.ife is too long. Years are ahead of you. Os us, Sonia.” She was silent, eyes remote, brooding. It was true that the years stretched barrenly in front of he without him. Neither Walter Henderson’s attentions nor his wealth could makp up for the loss of love. She was still too achingly young. He saw his advantage and pressed : t. eyes burning into hers. “Where would your freedom be if on married him, Sonia?” She sighed. “It doesn’t seem to mean so much r.o me. any more.” “But it would once you’d lost it. 1 understand you. Sonia. You have

“DON’T WAIT; DO IT NOW” IS SENSIBLE ADVICE OFFERED BY NEW YORK ST. RESIDENT * Mrs. Glass Urges People Who Suffer With Stomach and Liver Trouble to Try “HUSKY How It Relieved Her.

Similar Experiences Related by People in All Parts of City at Haag Drug Store. “If you don't feel well get a bottle of Husky at once—don’t wait — do it now and you'll begin to feel better almost immediately.'' says Airs. Emma Glass, 521 E. New York St.. Indianapolis. This is similar to''what hundreds ore saying in all parts of the city of Indianapolis, and it explains why there is more Husky sold than all other preparations of a similar nature. * Continuing Airs. Glass says: “At the time I started to taake Husky I was in such misery that I didn't know what to do. Sometimes the sight of food turned my stomach, and the smell of frying meat or stewing vegetables made me sick. I never had any appetite and I ate only because I knew I had to do so. “I became under-nourished. I felt tired and weak. Housework of any kind was a hardship. About the third dose of Husky brought* me slight relief and from that time on 1 kept getting better and better until now 1 feel fine. “After eating I don’t feel bloated as I did before. My tongue is not coated, my heart does not flutter and I never lose an hour's sleep.” Following are the names and ad.dresses of a few more people who have been relieved of their ailments by Husky: Mrs. Florence McCauley, 720 N. Capitol Ave.; Peter Conway, West Hotel, South Side: Mrs. D. Martinez, 114 W. Ohio St.; J. Blanchard, 17 S. Senate Ave.; Mrs^

to be free. It yould kill you to be chained for life to a man you don’t lov^f’ She withdrew her hands and began to pace the room. “Oh, I love you, Franklin. There’s no use my denying that. But what wilbythe years be, dragging out Indefinitely? Our marriage dependent on your mother’s death! We couldn’t be happy waiting for a thing like that to happen.” “You’re right. I won’t put it like that. There is a chance that she may get stronger and live for years. God knows I hope she will. And if she does, so soon as her- condition warrant’s I’ll break my engagement!” She turned to him, passionately. “You mean that, Franklin? Don’t lie to me. I can’t forgive you if you lie to me again.” His eyes met hers, fiercely, blazing with desire. “I swear it, Sonia. Sonia —ah, God —I’ve missed you.” • • • They were clinging to each other, like derelicts at sea. They had been almost drowned in the black waterS of jealously and suspicion, but nothing mattered now execept the supreme necessity of the otheT’s arms. The clock struck. Sonia dragged herself away from, him crying, “I’d forgotten about Walter. He’ll be here in half an hour. You’ll have to go.” 4 “I’m not afraid to leave you now,” he smiled. “But this will be the last time, won’t it? You won’t see him any more?” His jealousy delighted her. “What do you expect me to do the nights you aren’t here?” “Go to be. There won’t be many of them.” “Well, T make no promise,” she answered, her eyes shining. “We’ll see. I’m going to keep you so busy you’ll be glad for a chance to rest.” As he was putting on his overJhokt she asked, “What wall you be doing tonight?” “A dance at Burlingame.” “With HER?” She avoided ,his fiancee’s name. “Y’es. Isn’t/it a shame that we can’t spend it together?” “It certainly it.* Os all nights not to he together—New Year’s Eve!” “Never mind, sweetheart. It shan’t happen again. Not if I have to plead a broken leg at the last minute.” Closing her ears to doubt, she put her arms about his neck, crying. “And you’ll be thinking of me every minute?” “Will I? When the New Tear comes in, I’ll be whispering, ‘I love' you, Sonia, I love you, love you. * * * When lie had gone she stood for a moment, hugging her happiness to her. /“Nothing has changed,” she whispered. “Yet everything is different. What a fool I was to think I could give him up.” She bathed and dressed hurriedly. Maxine came In before she was ready. She looked tired and unhappy. “Aren’t you going out?” Sonia asked, surprised. “My God. no! Mac is being a husband tonight.” Maxine sank on a chair, pulling at her wet coat with nerveless fingers. “I getting sick of this. Sonia. Here I am, left high and dry on New Year’s Eve —of all times!” “Will you come with us, old thing?” “I will not.” She began to cry. “I'll stay at home and be miserable.

I suppose Alac couldn't help it. Just i the fjame I’m damned tired of It.’* Her grief seeped through Sonia’s joy. She felt it corroding at the edges. Not a great deal of difference, it seemed, In the demands of a wife and a fiancee. “I won’t think of it,” she said, resolutely. “When you really love anyone you have to bear all sorts of things. Misunderstandings, and pain! Look at Vera . . She shuddered. She felt that she had grown infinitely wiser since Christmas day. Wiser and sadder! But she would not be sad tonight. Then she remembered Walter. What about him? Her happiness was going to be a fresh blow to him. “I won’t tell him tonight,” she decided. “I can’t bear to hurt him tonight.” In spite of her intentions, her attitude toward him had altered. His possessive manner, controlled though it was, irritated her in the taxi on the way to the hotel, he put his arm about her. “Please don’t do that!" she cried, sharply. “What’s the matter?” “I don’t want to be all njiussed up. My hair and everything.” “What a vain little creature she is.” he smiled, releasing her. Instantly, she slipped her hand beneath his arm. “I’m sorry. -You’re such a peach. I don’t deserve you.” Later, when the bells and whistles were hustling In the New Year, Sonia, sat in the midst of the tumult and heard only Franklin’s voice. “I love you. Sonia, I love you, love you * . What would the new year bring to them? His mother’s death? She hoped not. Far better to have him come to h • bravely, with his mother restored to health. But whatever came she resolved to meet It, fearlessly. She had learned now that each love has some cross which must be borne. She would shoulder hers, gallantly. (To lte Continued!

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WEEKLY BOOK REVIEWDog Protects ‘Dog’ in Sabatini’s Latest Story

By Walter D. Hickman Sabatinl, his first name is Rafael, is up to his grand manners again in weaving romance. This man does the strangest melodramatic things in his novels of hiitory. And it is this strange tiling In all of his books that I remember first. And I will remember until my last day the chapter, “The Miracle of the Dogs,” in his latest book, “Bellarlon.” You have a fugitive escaping after a murder following a plot'against a state in Italy during the Italian Renaissance. His name is Bellarlon. Into the domain of another Prince he lands, only to be met with a terrible sight—that of a weak Prince running down to death a political offender with a pack of bloodhounds. Bellarion forgets his own danger and goes to the help or the man being tracked by the hounds. One hound springs at Bellarion and his knife dispatches him. Still another and this hound jumps high, nearly throwing Bellarion to the grojnd. Then the knife comes into action. The dog’s blood flows over Bellarion. The weak Prince did n<3t like the sight of his dogs being ripped to death and so Bellarion was captured. The Prtnce then ordered Bellarion to run and ordered the most savage of the beasts to be set free upon his trail. Bellarion ran a short distance. Stopped The fierce hound was set free. On the animal sped. Suddenly this savage beast fell to the ground

Hardy*s Poems Thomas Hardy brought his first volume of poems when he was nearly 60. He was already famous and had been placed in his historical niche as a great Victorian novelist when he surprised the literary world by suddenly becoming a major poet of the twentieth centtiry. Last year, at 85, he bfought out anew volume of verse, “Human Shows, Far Phantasies. Songs and Trifles,” and the contents of this volume have now been included in the new edition of his “Collected Poems,” which was published by Macmillan last month.

at the feot of Bellarion. The hound would not harm him. Not a Miracle Another hound was turned upon him and this animal sniffed the air near Bellarion and vefused to touch him. Not a dog would harm Bellarion. The followers of the prince said it was a miracle, but Bellarion knew it was not a miracle. He knew that dog will not eat dog. In the words of Bellarion: “I reeked, I stank of dog. The great hound I had ripped up when it was upon me had left me in that condition, and the other hounds scented nothing, but dog in me. The explanation, my Lord, lies between that and miracle.” And so with one great and powerful stroke, Sabatinl paints an ln-‘ cident in the career of Ballarlon and gives it so much melodramatic and dramatic color that it becomes one of the strangest and most powerful episodes In this story of adventure in old days in Italy, near and about Milan. Do not think that the story of Bellarion is repulsive or common. It Is a great and bully yarn of a knight, who fought for a Princess, a fine and beautiful lady, who doubted her true knight until the last chapter of a book of exactly 446 pages. There is lot of old-fashioned war and fighting in this interesting story of the> days when knights were bold. And there Is a glorious love, story—tuat of Bellarion for the Princess Valeria, the beautiful. A Few Thoughts When Houghton Mifflin Company, the publishers of Sabatini’s books, sent me “Bellarion” for review, I look'd at tl-e cover and asked myself: “Can .t equal ’Scaramouche,’ and can it even approach ‘The Sea Hawk’?” It equals the first and goes beyond the last-named one. I found a new spirit of Sabatini In the very fabric of this new story- He never becomes lost in living the reader a careful, and thrilling account of every second of Bellarlon’s adventure int<* the world of romance and strife. I said once before if anybody could approach the charm of Dickens and the artistry of Dumas, then it Is SJabatini. - “Rcllarion” Is corking entertain-
