coming to San lYancisco. Jinny tell* Sonia she’s in love with a married man. Don finds Sonia talking to Dr. Wallace. NOW GO ON WITH TIIE STORY By Vida Hurst CHAPTER XI Don followed her into his consultation room. “Have you been crying. Sonia?” “No!—” She saw that he did not believe her. His voice was more .cruelly stern than she had imaglneoV Don’s voice could ever be. “Don’t misunderstand me. I do not question your reason for going to Bob’s office. So far as I am concerned It is immaterial.” He ignored her pleading eyes. “But I am to remember that every one is not so broadminded. Miss I.ane has a nose for scandal, you know. I think you should be more cafeful.” “But, Don, I haven’t done anything ” "It isn’t a question of what you have done. It is most unwise for Esther Lane to see you coining out of Bob’s office with tears in your eyes. It’s obvious you aren’t consulting him professionally.” “But I was.” “What do you mean?” “I was consulting him, professionally.” I don’t understand, Sonia. If yot are ill why would you go to a children’s specialist?” Impossible to explain that she had gone to ask his opinion about her husband. Don would never forgive her for that. Better let him figure out his own solution than to confess the truth. So she lifted her head with a touch of her old Insolence and said, “What’s the use for me to explain? You don’t believe me.” She realized the necessity for Don’s warning when she saw Esther Lane’s curious eyes following her across the waiting room. Well, they need not worry. Either of them. Nothing could drag her into Bob’s office again. It would have been different, she told herself, bitterly, if Don had been

Jealous. She could have understood jealousy better than the cold, Impersonality of his plea for caution. Why should he worry what his suspicious office assistant thought? He who a year ago had braved the opinion of the whole world to announce his marriage to a girl in publio disgrace. It had not mattered THEN. With flushed cheeks and flashing eyes, Sonia walked to her car. She told herself she would have forgiven Don anything. But she had begun to believe that his love was dead. Or dying because of memories which after a year seemed cruelly alive. He was sick of his bargain. Tortured by the remembrance that his wife had given her first sweet love to another man. As she entered the house the telephone was ringing. She was surprised to hear Sidney’s voice. “Are you there, Sonia? I’ve been trying to get you all day!” “Just came in. Where are you?” "At my cousin’s. Genevieve Erickson’s." Sonia's heart beat painfully. “Oh, yes!" "I wonder,” Sidney continued, not quite naturally, "If I might come over this afternoon. Will you be at home?” Sonia assented and hastened from the telephone. She had not seen Sidney since her marriage. Had not heard a word concerning the girl who once had been engaged to Franklin Crane. She, too, must have had her shares of heartbreak during the last twelve months. She had adored her fiance. Sonia would never forget her bright upward glance, her possessive clasp of his arm. How It had hurt! Now she felt only sorrow that this girl had been the Innocent victim of another’s wrongdoing. She wondered If Sidney would discuss her. If Genevieve still cared. .. She flew to arrange the living room. It was stiffly in order after the maid’s' ministrations. Sonia pulled out a chair, fluffed up sofa cushions and drawing the shades against the sunless day. lighted tyie lamps. As always. It cheered her, ln-

ordinately, to do these simple, domestic things. Yet no one would have believed It. Even Don had refused to classify her as a housewife. She had found a poem, once, when they first returned to San Francisco. Had repeated it to him . . . “I’ll go to Camelot, I’ll go to Crete. You’ll live forever In this small 11l wear silken robes . . gay colors spilled, You’ll wear the palest things . . . soft things, frilled. I’ll know many men, strange men and wild. You’ll know but one man and bear his child. You’ll bring peacefulness . . . bake little tarts. I’ll bring Inquietude. Strange things —hearts!" She i?nd forgotten the author but the words had dinned themselves Into her mind. “Which am I, Don?” she had asked. “Don’t you know? Can you picture living forever on ones small street? Wearing pale, frilly things?” Oh, but she wanted to! She wanted to “bake little tarts.” To bring PEACEFULNESS .... But when had she brought anything but unhappiness to those she loved? The idea sickened her. “I’ll bring INQUIETUDE It was perhaps her curse. The curse of Anna's guilty love! That her child should walk in sorrow all the days of her life, leaving desolation behind her. She greeted Sidney affectionately. “Sonia, how nice to see you again. And what a darling flat. Don's mother told me about it.” “I adore it,” Sonia answered, sincerely. She took her friend's coat and expensive little hat. Sidney was always the same, dressed with quiet, good taste. Not smart, but one felt a "quality” about her. As if her shining soul created its own radiance in her appearance. The girls sat together on the davenport. “How well you look, Sonia. Frettier than ever.” "I was thinking that about you. What have you been doing? How is Tom?” Sidney's brown eyes danced. “Oh, he's fine. We’ve had a splendid year at school. Tom is really

doing awfullly well. He’s sb popular. Every one 11 es him.” Loyal little Sldn jy! “Have you been home lately?” "Not since Christmas. I’m hare for the week-end only. Genevieve wanted to see me." Sonia’s eyes met her frankly. “How is your cousin?” “She has been very unhappy. You see, Sonia, she really loved Franklin Crane." T know she did." “I suppose you know she broke their engagement because of the story in the newspaper?” "The story about me, you mean?” “Yes. At the Inquest of Walter Henderson.” "Did she hreak the engagement, Sidney? Are you sure?” "Os course, I am. She wrote me all about it. It hurt her terribly.” So he had lied about that, too. Sidney continued, “He had been rather inattentive to Genevieve ever since the house party in New York. At least she noticed it then. Toward tho#last he scarcely saw her at all.

But they were engaged until shq returned his ring. Genevieve did not even ask for an explanation. She had suspected that he was interested in someone else. And she’s a proud little thing." "She is fortunate to have escaped marrying him,” replied Sonia, soberly. Sidney was surprised. * “That doesn't sound like you, Sonia.” Impulsively she leaned closer. “I’ve wanted to talk to you for a long time. I couldn’t write about It blit, Sonia, none of your friends believed that story In the San Francisco papers.” Sonia’s eyes were swimming In tears. Useless to explain that she had made that story true afterwards. “If anyone had believed It,” the other girl continued, "they knew better when they heard you were previously married to Don Stillwater.” Yes, that had quieted suspicion Don had said It would. Sonia asked, in a queer, tight little voice, "Did people think it was

And no one in Stockton dreamed that you had ever been Interested in Don . . . . ” "The other way round, you m#an.” “Perhaps. What does it matter?

He was your husband.” The old silence muffled Scnia’s tongue. “There are always people," Sidney announced, cheerfully, "who have to see the worst side to everything. There may be some who still think your marriage to Don was queer. But they should talk with his
