MAXINE LARUE, head of her department. invites Sonia. VIOLET. FERN. JINNY and FRANKIE to her liquor party. Sonia quarrels with BERT DONOHUE because of her infatuation for FRANKLIN CRANE, whose father was a friend of JED THOMAS. Maxine notices her employer's unusual interest in Sonia. Sonia visits her sister VERA and meets TOM UNDERWOOD, who is engaged to wealthy SIDNEY MAINE. Maxine, with whom Soma lives, admits that her elderly friend, MAC McGREGOH, is married. Crane telle Sonia his engagement to Sidneys cousin. GENEVIEVE ERICKSON. was arranged by his rich mother, that he never intends to marry the girl, although the engagement cannot be broken for fear of the bad effect on the health of his invalid mother. In despair, Sonia makes a conditional promise to marry wealthy WALTER HENDERSON whom her parents, ANN and SAM MARSH,- favor. Crane asks her to give up Henderson, hoping that a turn for better or worse in his mother's health will permit him to break his engagement. She consents. Henderson leaves the offer open for her lengthy consideration. Soma hears that Dr. Stillwater is thinking of locating in San Francisco and that his mother approves of his interest in Sonia. When Sonia refuses to spend the next week-end alone with Crane at his summer cabin, he invites Maxine and her friend to accompany them. At the theater Sonia sees Crane with his attractive fiance. He is very attentive. The folly of her own part in his lile overwhelms her. The thought of her coming trip is sickening. When he calls unexpectedly she demands that he chooße at once between her and his fiance. CHAPTER XXXIII She had not dreamed his charming mouth could be so cruel. Chiseled Into granite lines! For a moment he frightened her. She had a mad desire to run to him and kiss his lips into tenderness. It hurt so that he could look like that to her. He snapped, "Well?” "Oh, Franklin, don’t look at me like that. I don't want to quarrel with you.” “It seems to me that’s all'you do want to do lately.” ' “But it’s hot because I want to," she Insisted. ‘‘Things keep coming up.”

"It you can’t take anything on trust or have any faith In me, we might as well quit!" Her face paled. “You’d like to?” “My God, Sonia! Haven’t I shown you In every way a man can how I feel about you? Do you expect me to crawl at your feet after what you said just now?" He began to pace the room, while she watched him, bewildered at the storm she had aroused. “I thought the thing was all settled New Year’s eve. I didn’t know we’d have to fight it out all over again every few nights. You pretend to love me, but It's a poor sort of love that goes all to pieces at the first test.” In some Inexplicable way he was putting her In the wrong. “Pretty soon you’ll have me apologizing,” she faltered, trying to smile. “Oh, no! You’ll never apologize. I am the only one who does that. It seems to make you happy to have me cringing like a yellow pup. Asking to be forgiven all the time.” Her green eyes were shining through tears. “If you really think that,” she said, slowly, “I guess you’re right. This had better be the end.” He turned, abruptly. “You're tired of me, then?” She cried, “You know I’m not tired of you. But I don’t think it’s fair for me to be placed so that I can be hurt as I was tonight.” “You agreed to It, didn’t you?” “But I didn’t understand. You must listen to me, Franklin. I didn’t know that Genevieve Erickson was just a girl like myself. I thought of her as older and different. But she’s young, she’s pretty . . . ” Her voice broke. “If you know how it hurt to see you with her!” He had stopped his pacing and was gazing at her, stonily. “I don’t see that her being pretty alters' things any.” Sonia sat down. Her knees were trembling so that she found it Impossible to stand. Already she had forgotten the rights she had Intended to Insist upon. She was anxious only to pacify him, to bring back some semblance of his former affection. “I didn’t mean to be a poor sport,” she begged. "Seeing you together made me wild, that’s all. To think that I should stand meekly behind you and have to watch you smiling at her . . . You weren’t even thinking of me.” “How do you know?” “You couldn’t have been, looking down Into her face all the time. Why, if you’d lifted your eyes you’d have seen me.”

All at once the anger melted from his face. His blue eyes became kind again. “Sonia, you’re just plain jealous. ’ Joyous over his changed tone, she ran into his arms, crying, “But can you blame me? How would you feel?” “I know. It’s a damned shame. But you needn’t have worried. I was thinking of you every minute.” “If I could only believe that.” “Well, you can. I’m mad about you, Sonia. Do you know I thought you were trying to throw me over? Making a scene and all that as an excuse to go back to Walter Henderson.” She snuggled into his arms. “Oh, you know I won’t do that now. No matter what happens." "You didn’t mean what you said, did you, Sonia?” Relaxed and warm in the blessed assurance that he still loved her, she could scarcely remember what It was she had demanded. "About choosing ‘between you,’ ” he murmured, lips against her black hair. "Because there’s no choice about it, darling. It’s only you.” Far back in her mind a harsh voice clamored that she had suffered bitterly and was to suffer again. But she could not hear to force the issue now. She had promised to wait until he could free himself. She should not go back on her word merely because she had seen the fiancee she already knew about. She clung to him as if some treacherous hand threatened to sweep her out of his arms. “Don't give me up. No matter how angry I am, don’t ever let me get away from you.” Smiling in his old winsome fashion, he lifted her face to his. “Don’t worry. I’m never going to let you go now. Maxine, returning at 1 o’clock, unlocked the door and stepped into the room before they saw her. “Sorry to interrupt.” she remarked, breezily. "But it really is time for all honest wolking goils to be In bed. Or shall I prepare a place for myself in the bawth tub?” Sonia disengaged herself from her lover’s arm, tremulous with the different emotions which had shaken her in those few hours. “No, Franklin Is going now. Aren’t you, dear?” “It looks that way.” Maxine discreetly disappeared while they bid each other a lingering goodnight. "Oh, darling,” she whispered. "I will not be suspicious again. But you won't make It any longer than you just have to?” „ His voice was husky with passion as he replied, "Sweetheart, I won’t! You’ll be repaid for all of this, some day.” * • • When he had gone she became conscious of intense fatigue. Limbs ind body ached from the violence of her reaction. But she did not tell Maxine that she had almost given up her lover an hour earlier. Instead, she closed her eyes and drifted deep Into slumber. She awakened at 6 o’clock. The room was gray with a cold, wet dawn. Wisps of fog floated in through the window, clinging damply to the bedclothes, which she drew higher about her chin. And the voice she had refused to heed the night before began to nag her. “What have you gained? You've

even lost in his eyes by pulling a scene that acomplished nothing.” “But he loves me,” she protested, weakly. “Does he, Indeed? And what good will it do you? Where is it leading you? You, who demanded freedom!” She shivered and springing from bed, ran to the window. Beads of water lay along the sill. The air seemed saturated. The city peered ghostlike through its white drifting mantle. A sense of foreboding came over her. Life was so startling. Sudden tragedies loomed up as those buildings below rose from the fog. She had ridden rough shod, over all objections to carry out her plans for coming to San Francisco, to lead her own life! Yet how much freedom had she won after all? Was she not bound more than before by her infatuation? And these chains she had no strength to break, though they wounded her cruelly. She closed the window and crept back into bed. When Maxine opened her eyes she found Sonia staring at her. “Maxine,” she inquired, earnestly. “Do you every worry about what’s going to happen to you?” “Why should I?” yawned Maxine. “What’s to happen will happen regardless.” “But don’t the years ahead of you ever loom up with a terrifying significance? Do you ever think about the future?” Maxine sat up in bed. “Have you a fever? Or what in the world is eating you? I’ll bet you're getting cold feet about our weekend?” “No. I’m not. Although I do have a feeling ...” “Oh. hush!” You'll have me shedding tears all over the place. Don’t fool with my emotions, kiddie. I’m too tender-hearted. Better take a hot bath and some aspirin.

Meyer, secretary of the Allied Coal and Material Company, declared today, pointing out the same situation is faced by other cities.

MR. FIXIT Leaf-Strewn Streets Are Cause of Complaints,

Let Mr. Flxit present your case to city officials. He is The Times representative at the city hall. Write him at The Times. They’ll not leave the leaves on Indianapolis streets much longer, is the word Mr. Flxit received today from the streets department. Complaints have been pouring in rapidly from citizens who fear their cars will sldd and crash as well as from those whose artistic senses are outraged. C. F. Nagel, 1329 Olive St., was awarded the golden, monogrammed rake in this contest when he reI>orted that street has not been cleaned more than twice in two years. But don’t forget (and we won’t) the streets department has promised relief. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Please do fix it. What? Why, the awful hole In the bridge. Not the bridge we stand on at midnight, but the bridge over Morris St., at Eagle Creek. The hole Is two years old and getting larger every day. JACK HENDRICK, R. R. C, box 172. Mr. Flxit hasn't stood on bridges at midnight for many years. The streets department now has the money and repairs are In sight. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Please call attention to the poorly located Inlet at Lord and Noble Sts. Only an expert Charleston stepper can avoid a mud shower. If passing when an auto makes the corner. A PASSERBY. Don’t let this Inlet worry you. The streets department has promised to Charleston down to the corner and look it over. Various departments are Investigating the following: Insanitary chickens and ducks In the 1400 block on Garfield Ave., bad health conditions in the 100 block on S. West St., reported by Charles Zeller and Harry H. Maag’s alley near Drexel Ave. and St. Clair St. In Sululand the air is so clear that objects of fair size can be distinguished sA'en or eight miles by starlight. \

How to stop BOILS! There’s only ona way to stop boils. Stop the cause of boils! That’s common sense—isn’t it? All right.
