Henderson is ironical when Sonia wiH not tell him why she cannot murrv him. . Crane calls on Sonia and informs her that he has broken his engagement, but when she tells him she is married, he leaves in desperation. Souls, tears tor his safety and lit anguish wishes she had not been so prudish. CHAPTER 58 Friday morning found Sonia paying the penalty for her hysterical night. Her head ached miserabyl. She felt depressed and uneasy. Although she realized her fears had been morbid and imaginary, she called the office at 11 o’clock to see if Franklin was thers. She was informed that "Mr. Crane had not been in,”*that morning. She called again at 3 with the same result. Then, determined to break the silence before another night, whatever the cost, she telephoned his home. "Mr. Crane is not feeling well enough to talk. Will you leave your number?’’ She gave her name outright. Thank God, he was there! She was not worried over the nature of his illness. He hadiprobably been drinking. But, if ever a man was justified, he was this time. She knew from experience that he could go for weeks without a drop of liquor. He had proved It before Christmas, when they had been so happily in love. The reaction left Sonia faint with relief. No matter what else happened, at least he was alive. The warm comfort of that thought made her realize that there was always a way out of every difficulty, no problem which did not have some solution provided, added Sonia, wisely, "one keeps one’s head. You didn’t quite do that last night, old thlhg.” She dressed with enthusiasm And went out to loiter among the sllops of Chinatown. A favorite spot! tShe loved the exotic sights and smells, the color of fat Chinese women, in sober black trousers, the anomaly of Chinese flappers, with bold eyes and painted cheeks —all peculiar to her San Francisco, her city, she had promised to leave. She saw it that day through a golden haze of farewell. When she returned to the apartment she had stored her mind with pictures for barren days to come. Her arms were loaded with pack-

ages, trivlul oddities which would please her mother and Vera. She had attained also a protective selfcontrol. She had left her name at Franklin's home —a direct challenge, which if he chose to neglect she could not pursue. It was up to him. She retired early and dropped into deep slumber. Before she was out of bed the next morning her telephone was ringing. Her heart gave a throb of joy as she answered. He cared enough to call. She said, “Franklin, I’m leaving for Stockton this afternoon. Am I to go without seeing you?” "Do you want to see me, Sonia?” "Os course I do. I have several things to tell you." His voice was without life as he suggested the States, at noon. Seated In a booth, marked New Jersey, which brought no smile from either of them, Sonia began to talk. She was startled at his indifference. His attitude was almost pathetically resigned. \ "I was worried about you Thursday night,’’ Sonia admitted. “Did you get to the shack all right?” He looked up as a trance. “Oh, yes. I made It all right.” “I didn’t know . . . that the rain woifld make it hard for you." "The rain?’’ His shiver was scarcely perceptible. "It was a bad night.” “Franklin,” she said, gently, "you aren’t angry with me?” “Angry with YOU?” She trembled before the magic sweetness of his voice. “Sonia, darling, I couldn't be with you if you plunged a knife deep into my heart." She leaned across the table then to whisper, "You think I’m married to Wa lt r Henderson, but I’m not.” “You are not* married to Henderson?” Sonia smiled, sadly. "No. It’s Dr. Don Stillwater, from my own town.” His eyes stared at her. He repeated almost stupidly, "You’re not married to. Henderson?" “No, but after all, the fact of my marriage is unchanged. It doesn’t matter who It Is.” ‘,'No, of course not. It doesn’t matter." How terribly upset he must have been. To be so nervous! The hand that lifted his glass of water shook visibly. "Franklin,” she said, earnestly. ”1 suppose It’s unreasonable to hope that you can understand the reason back of all this. But you certainly know It wasn’t because I didn’t care for you. . . .” His understanding nod was so free from bitterness that it brought a sob to her throat. With an effort she went on, “I thought you didn’t really love me. I was terrified with the shock of Maxine’s death. It seemed then that I was through with excitement forever. All I wanted was to be safe and protected.” He said, then, “You needn’t explain your motives, Sonia. I know exactly how you felt.” The waiter served their order. When he had left, she continued: “But you don’t understand that ours Is not a real marriage. Oh, It is legal enough. But I entered it selfishly and I couldn’t go on with It. Don has gone to Berlin for the summer and has promised to release me when he comes home.” Her words did not have the effect she had anticipated. "I’m going away, too," he said, drearily. “Mother and I are going for a trip right away.". , "Where, Franklin?” "Oh, across the ocean somewhere. I don't care.” She asked through lips determined to smile: "Are you going on account of me?” ' • "Partly. Mother Is glad enough to take me. She feels It will settle th'nf'S.” "You asked her to take you?” "Yes.” After h moment he asked: “What are you going to do In Stockton?” How could she tell him that she had planned to wait there for him?” "Nothing much, I guess.” "How can you endure to go back? I thought you had always hated It?" "I do,” she admitted. "But It was Don’s one condition when he left."

A Story of Dangerous Love

"Wanted you away from my Influence, did he?" "Something like that." “He needn't have worried. You can tell him for me. I’m not running after another man’s wife.” His attitude puzzled her. "But, don’t you see? I’ll be free after Don comes home?’’ “Do you really think that means anything? That he Is going to give you up after you’re married him?” "We aren't really married,” she insisted. "It can be annulled." Then for the first time there was a flash of emotion In hla face. His hands pressed hers. He whispered, 'Do you mean you’ll wait for me?" "Do you want me to?” “Sonia Marsh, you're the one thing under Heaven I do want. If you had only had a little confidence In me. ..." "Oh, I know. ...*• "It’ too late now. Oh God, If you could only have waited! We are both too headlong, Sonia." "Who knows it better than I?~ she grieved. "I’m going to have to pay with four months of Stockton. But perhaps In that time we shall learn wisdom. Do you thing It possible?" His blue eyes were blazing with passion as he answered, “I'd given you up. I never dreamed there was a chance. . . "Do you have to go away?" "I'm afraid I will now. Can’t you stay In San Francisco until I go?” "I promised Don I wouldn’t. He has been so good to me, I must play fair. But I suppose we can write. Will you write to me, Franklin?" He whispered, fiercely, "What use are letters? When I am dying to hold you In my arms?" (To Be Continued)

SKIN TROUBLE COVERS BODY At last finds treatment which cleared it away in few days "A while ago I was troubled with a akin disease, a mild case of i*ch, which was very distressing. It berran on my leg and was most.aggravating; the more I scratched it the more it itched. Finally a number of tiny pimples formed and soon spread all-over my body. It became so bad that I did not know what to do about it and was going to consult a physician when a friend of mine suggested that I try Resinol Ointment. I bought a jar the next day and was delighted with v the relief I obtained after the first application. A few more treatments and the itch was entirely gone. I have also used Resinol Soap and Ointment for blackheads and pimples and it helped wonderfully. I cannot praise Resinol enough for all the good it has done me.” (Signed) Celia StofTel, Star Route Badger, Minn., March 1. —Advertisement.
