SONIA

THE STORY SO FAR SONIA MARSH, leaves Stockton and comm to. San Francisco to live her life as she pleases. HON STILLWATER, a young doctor, helps her pet a lob in the real estate oftice of his uncle. Jed Thomas. Believing that she has captivated FRANKLIN CRANE, potted young salesman. Sonia allows him to make love to her, crediting his explanation that he cannot marry her because the breaking of his engagement to Genevieve Erickson, a pretty society girl, might prove fa al to his invalid mother. Crane's drinking causes an auto wreck in which Sonia suffers bruises and asks for Dr Stillwater to attend her. Though Sonia still loves Crane, she is disgusted with him and marries Dr. Stillwater, promising that if at the end of the year she does not love him with all her heart sho will be honest about rt. „ . , They keep the news from all but their parents. After seeing Crane again on the street, Sonia asks Don for her freedom. Don insists that Sonia go to her parents. while he makes a four month s trip to Berlin, and promises to release her if she still wishes it when he returns. When Don is ready to leave she admits she would give anything if she could care for him as he wishes His passionate kiss arouses her dormant love CrHno assails wealthy WALTER HENDERSON, thinking he is responsible for Sonia's change of attitude. Henderson is ironical when Sonia will not tell him why she cannot marry him. Crane calls on Sonia and informs her that he has broken his engagement, but leaves without a word when 6lie tells him she is married. CHAPTEIT LiVII A white night for Sonia! She lay on the davenport before a dying fire, consumed with loneliness, eaten by remorse. Franklin had phy’eil fair with her when she had Avast ex-, pected it. Her plan of evading him had 'worked too quickly. She was caught in her own trap. It infuriated her to think she had been so stupid, so blind as not to see that he was sincere in his devotion. She could have forced the issue long ngo by using the same tactics, without involving herself in a perfectly hide-bound marriage. The thought of Don came to her vaguely, as a figure in a dream. He was wonderful, but . . . The habit of loving Franklin could not be broken by one hour of Don’s lovemaking, stormy though it was. The touch of Franklin’s, arms had been able to obliterate all traces of the finer feelings. Her lips longed for the kisses they had known all winter. Her head ached to snuggle into the warm hollow of his shoulder. Every nerve in her body was keyed to his. A physical tie! Before it everything else was swept away, save mad, wild, impulse! Sonia twisted her fingers until the knuckles whitened. She cried, “Oh, God, send him back to me. I’ll do anything. Suffer anything . . .” He had not given her a chance to explain that it was Don, not Henderson, she had married. Not that it would matter which man stood in his way. He would hate her just the same. She pictured him driving to his shack, a disembodied spirit flinging into the night! She trembled to think how he was suffering. He might deliberately drive the car over the grade. He was capable of any madness. She put her hand across her mouth to keep back a scream. Then she began to pace the floor. She muttered, frantically, "If anything happens to him it will be my fault." Drops of rain spattered intermittently against the windows. She pictured him cold and broken at the bottom of a ravine, his face so vivid that she ran to turn on all the lights. She sobbed, “Something is happening.” She visioned his face, so sweet and wistful even in death Then the rhythm of the rain sounded slow, heavy, like a funeral dirge, beating into her brain. She drew the shades to shut it out. She ’Wound the phonograph but it refused to turn. It made her remember one other night when Bertie had wished to dance with her, Bertie with his clammy hands and evil eyes. How pleased he would be if he could see her suffering!

That thought sobered her. She must get hold of herself, Franklin was safe. Perhaps after all he had not gone to Marin County. Perhaps —the thought was a subtle hop© of justification—he had been lying. How did she know? His version of the quarrel with his mother might have been only a ruse to persuade her to accompany him. She smiled, nervously, telling herself she was a fool to believe him. He had lied to her once. He would again. While she was enduring this mental anguish he was no doubt asleep in his own bed. She looked at the clock. Onethirty. The idea to find out became an obsession. She must know. She could not sleep until she had heard his voice. If he were at home she would tell him she wished to see him once more. Then she could go to sleep. She thought, wistfully, of how well she could sleep if she were sure. But what would the servants think? Supposing his mother should be waiting up for him and should answer the telephone? Well, what if she did? Why should she worry over his mother’s opinion? What had she done to deserve consideration from Sonia? She lifted the receiver, grimly, and repeated the number in a clear hard voice. She waited, frozen with apprehension. There was no answer. Sonia rattled the telephone, Insisting that the operator ring again. “I know there is someone thert

A Story of Dangerous Love

They’ll answer if you ring long enough.” * After an eternity of waiting, a voice said, crossly, “Hallo.” "Will you call Mr. Crane? It is very important.’’ She swayed dizzily. He must be there. Os course he had gone home. He was always a little dramatic. It led him to exaggerations, to lies which were not intentional. He would be there. But, perhaps, he would not answer. Supposing he did not wish to talk with her, would not give her a chance. . . . "Mr. Crane is not at home. Will you leave a message?” “No. Thank ypu very much." He was not there. He had not lied. She sank on the floor before the fireplace trying to warm her cold hands. So It was true! He really had broken with Genevieve and refused to go back. But there was no joy in it now for Sonia. She had hound herself, hopelessly, for at least four months. In the meantime he would return to his fiance. Well, even that would be better than the pictures she had imagined earlier in the evening. The clock struck 2. Sonia told herself she must go to bed. Everything would seem different in the morning. Sh© would laugh at these silly fears which were bred of the night and nerves. She understood rapidly and turned

off the lights. Time to cut out this foolishness. How old was she? Eight or 18? Hysterical! That’s what she was . . . She threw the window open to the rain. “Nothing about that to make you nervous. Used to like it when you were little.” In bed she closed her eyes and listened. It fell gently, insistently, dripping, dripping . . . She sat up in horror. It might be dripping on Franklin’s face, upturned #h death. "Oh, I can’t stand this!” she moaned. ' / She wrapped her heavy coat and a comfort about her, and stood before the window, looking down upon the sleeping city. But was it sleeping? Or were there other girls, wideeyed fear and remorse also facing the dark? Girls more hopeless than she? “In trouble!” She thought, violently, “At least they have known what it is to love. They haven't been cheated. starved like I have." For a moment she envied them. It would be better to have tasted life to the dregs than to see it held before your lips and snatched away. What would have happened if she had gone with Franklin the Tirst time he had asked her? Alone? Maxine would probably be living: Don would have gone away untroubled by their misleading alliance. She, herself, perhaps this moment, would be warm in her lover’s arms. Wrong! Wrong! All this "blah” about conventions! She had said it once before to Walter Henderson. She repented it now with the despairing conviction born of the desolate night. Everything had gone wrong since she had started denying Franklin. Until then their love had been almost perfect. Prudish-
