THE STORY SO FAR SONIA MARSH leaves Stockton and comes to an Francisco to live her life as she pleases. DON STILLWATER, a youne doator, helps her get a job in the real dstate office of his uuole. Jed Thomas. Believing she has captivated FRANKLIN CRANE, petted 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 fatal to his Invalid mother. Though Sonia still loves Crane she Is disgusted with him and marries Dr. Stillwater. They keep the news from all but their parents. She refuses to accompany her husband to Berlin. Before Sonia tells Crane shj- Is married. he mentioned the breaking of his engagement. She says she will be free after Don returns.

She sends newspaper clippings of the story to Don. SAM MARSH kills himself because of Sonia's disgrace. She Is surprised to learn from her mother that Jed Thomas is Sonia's father, but Mrs. Marsh never told her husband the truth.

By Vida Hunt Don wires that he Is cording home. Sonia opens the week-ends with Crane. CHAPTER LXXVII Days lengthened into weeks. In spite of renewed attempts at cheerfulness, Sonia’s inward perturbation grew. Don was coming and she had used almost half the money he had left for her. knowing that now she was not entitled to a penny of it. Yet for some reason It seemed more decent to accept it from him than from her lover. Meanwhile her search for a position had become a farce. There were mornings when she sat until noon in her room, vainly trying to acquire the self confidence she lacked. She would face herself In the mirror, desperately. “But you must get something. Any number of other girls are finding places every day. They are open if you look long enough.” The green eyes stared back so hopelessly that her heart failed. She

knew sh® would never find any one who wanted her while she looked like that. Her hands were icy with nervousness. All the blood seemed slowly to recede from her brain. “I’ll faint if I go out on the street like this,” she would decide. "I really feel ill.” In the end she would remove her hat and lie down. But she could not relax. She said. “When the clock says 10:30 I’ll kart." But when the hands were almost there she cried in fresh panic. “That’s too soon. I’ll make it 11.” At a quarter of eleven she would decide that it was too near noon. She would prepare her lunch and that would make hA feel more fit for the struggle. Many days she did not reach the street at all. But no matter how depressing the day, she managed to be brilliant and vivacious at night. At 4 o’clock she drank a cup of hot tea and smoked a cigarette. Her dressing was accompanied by rising

spirits. By the time Franklin came she was glowing and radiant. Ready for any suggestion. And she was rewarded by his increased Infatuation. “You look like a million dollars.” “Not saturated with gloom any more?” “I'll say not. You're beautiful, Sonia. More beautiful than you have ever been.” She thrilled to his praise, although she shivered, sometimes, to think what it had cost. Yet was It not worth it, to have him telephone “Hello, sweetheart! I Just wondered what you were doing?” Most wonderful of all was the fact that so far as she knew, he had kept his promise. She had everything she wanted to complete her happiness, everything! Then why did she sigh, admitting it? Why the deepening depression which greeted her each morning? The fear that startled her from sleep? If only Don would arrive so that things might settled. She understood that an annulment was much quicker to obtain than a divorce. The prospect of scenes with Don, with Franklin, with her mether, sapped her already weakened vitality. 1 Walking down Market St. at noon, meeting the girls wh® poured from shops and offices, she wondered how all of them had obtained positions. There must lie a secret in it she did not understand. Surely all the employers in San Francisco had not read her story. Could there be a conspiracy against giving her work? Or was it Fate that maligned old harridan, who had hounded her since birth? She caught wisps of conversation. “And he said,” “And I says to him.” And he says, “My Gawd n— e.” Not so long ago, she and Maxine had swept down the streets at noon, giggling and whispering secrets. Her heart ached for the companionship of another girl, sojne one who would not expect her to be gay all the time. Yet girls had never meant a great deal to Sonia. One day she hurried home, although It was only 12 o’clock. She had Inquired at an agency where she had left her name and been informed that there was “nothing doing.” “There’s no use,” she said to herself. “too look any more today.” She flew back to the dingy refuge of her four walls. Her hands trembled as she ate. She felt haunted i by the necessity of obtaining work. | She would wait one more week, then she would bo forced to take anything. It might be that no one happened to need a bookkeeper. But something better, perhaps, was Just around the corner, even If it did not pay so much . . , She felt better after eating, and flung herself on the bed to fall into an exhausted sleep. The telephone woke her. Franklin jeered at her sleep-sodden voice. "Sonia, let’s go to the Palace tonight.” “That will be lovely,” she cried, with all her old enthusiasm, although she would have preferred sitting quietly at home. It seemed to her that Franklin was insatiable, wanting to do something exciting every night, restleojf If they stayed at home. But she met him with pink cheeks and sparkling eyes. Like a great green butterfly, she

swayed and shimmered in his arms, thrusting back every annoying obsession, forcing lightness to her feet, sauciness to her replies. On the way home she snuggled against him, responding to his caresses through weariness that swept her in waves. In bed she tumbled down a sliding tunnel to forgetfulness, sighing with relief.

Creeping back between the blankets she lay, tortured by faintness and by a suspicion, which began to flame into certainty.
