SONIA Love

SONIA MARSH leaves Stockton and comes to Sa’i Francisco to live £®r liie aa ehe pleases. DON STILLWATER, a young* doctor, helps her get a job m ihe real estate office of his uncle. Jed Thomas where she falls in love with FRANKLIN CRANE, petted young salesman. Sonia calls for Dr. Stillwater to attend her after an accident. Though she still loves Crane she is disgusted with his habit of becoming intoxicated, and marries Dr. Stillwater. They keep the news from all but heir parents. Sho refuses to accompany her husband to Berlin. Before Sonia tells Crane she is married he mention the breaking of his engagement to Genevieve Erichson. Sonia confides to Crane that she will be free to marry him after Bon ret unis Wealthy WALTER HENDERSON whom Sonia refused to marry is found drowned. Crane is suspected, and to save him she falsely declares she was with him that fatal night in his Marin County shack. „ , ' 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. Sonia derides to return to work, but spends the week-ends with Crane. Don wires that he is coming home. Crane confesses to Sonia that in jealous rage he caused the. death of Walter Henderson. She is infuriated with him, and regrets that she should live to bear a murderer's child. She realizes that her love for Crane is dead. Upon arriving from Berlin, Don s assorted faith in Sonia's innocense keeps her from telling him the truth. He mentions his intention of announcing their marriage and then entering the medical practice with DR. LANGDON. CHAPTER LXXX. Don’s voice roused her. / ‘‘You rent this room from them people downstairs?” ”Yes.” “Then I’ll run down and tell them you’re leaving. You can be collecting your things." She watched him, stunned, until he had closed the door. A chance for life! He had Insisted that when they were married people would soon forget the newspaper story. Her child could be born In wedlock. What? Bring a murderer’s child into the world as Don Stillwater's? Have him love and cherish it as Sam Marsh had worshiped her? “No, I’ll die first,” cried Sonia. She knew that death was all that was left to her. Don had believed in her, and he must not lose that faith. But she would not build her future upon a deceit. His words of passionate faith had torn the veil from her eyes. He was the only man In her life who had been worth loving. And she was nothing but a sniveling coward, attempting to justify her sin by that of her mother. "I have been a fool,” she whispered. “What my mother did is no excuse for me. I have lived my own life and I am responsible for the wreck I’ve made of it. I alone must pay the penalty.” She paced the floor with limbs so faint that blackness enveloped her. But she knew with sickening certainty the exact corner where the tiny poison tablets stood. Oh. God, for strength to take them! If they would only kill her instantly, painiftesly ! She thought of other methods of suicide. Drowning would have been so much easier. Just walk out into cool, green waves ... 'or shoot herself in the heart as her father had done. But there was no time. What she might do must be done quickly, before she went to the hotel with him. She might never have the courage again. If he only had’t loved her so much! If only he would leave her with harsh words, so that she might have crept away. She was fumbling with the door to the medicine cabinet, reaching to the top shelf . She whimpered, “Oh, I’m afraid, r didn’t want to do it this way. God, don’t let it hurt . . .” Uncorking the bottle, pouring the tablets into an icy hand . . . Something shrieked like a fiend inside her, “It’s not too late—put them back What good will your death do? More grief? Live right from now on and take the chance tie’s offering you . . .” Then her father’s loving face.

But Bhe was past answering him, Past seeing or caring for anything but the raw agony of torture she must endure. He forced her to drink the white of an egg beaten in a cup. He poured glass after glass of warm salt water between her lips. “Oh, Sonia, why couldn’t you have trusted me?” Black, terrible anguish enveloped her like a cloud. She was only writhing, convulsive flesh, shrieking to a relentless God—a God who would not hear! FOR COLDS. GRIP OR INFLUENZA and as a Preventive, take Laxative PROMO QUININE Tablets.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

She realized she was being taken to a hospital. She saw faces through cold mists af rain. She begged for death, and they only inflicted new tortures. Conscious of ghastly retching that tore her apart. And when at last she lay as one dead on her pillows, a nurse came, a strange nurse who said, “Mrs. Stillwater, your condition makes It necessary for you to control yourself. -You are going to be ill for a little while, but it will soon be over. We are going to da everything we can to keep you from suffering. Help us with all the strength you have ” Presently she knew what that strange voice had meant. Through a haze of weakness she saw Don’s F haggard face. She groped blindly toward his . . . “Please hold my hand. Don." Sho grasped It firmly. Hanging on like a drowning child, she cried, "You—you’re God. . . .” And went down quickly. Into watery that swirled higher and higher. ...
