THE SEQUEL TO SOMA

BEGIN HERE TODAY SONIA. tli* youiiK wife of DE. DON STILLWATER, became jealous of her huaband when she inadvertently learns that he formerly was engaged to— JiILAINE WALLACE, stylish wife of Stillwater's partner. DR. ROBERT WALLACE. Through ESTHER LANE, stenographer in the office, SONIA also learns mat Dr. Wallace is somewhat of a flirt, and attracts many or his women patients. Sonia fears the Wallaces may have head about her illegitimate affair with i’ranklin Crane, before she was married. Sonia thinks Don is ill, because he is not looking well .and calls on Dr. Wallace for advice. She receives no satisfaction from Wallace, who tries to flirt with her. She runs across Stillwater and Elaine Wallace in a Chinese restaurant and later is filled with conflicting emotions. She meets Jinny of Jed Thomas' office. .... On the night of their wedding anniversary .Elaine phones, calling Don away as they are about to go out and celebrate. When he returns the evening is spoiled. He gives Sonia a present selected by Elaine. Later she accuses Sonia of. calling her husband and then receives a letter from Franklin Crane, an old sweetheart, saying lie is coming to San Francisco. Jinny tells her she is in love with a married man. who proves to be Dr. Wallace. Don finds Sonia talking to Dr. Wallace.. Sonia fears Don s love is waning. She visits Uncle Jed in his office. Elaine Wallace calls on Sonia seeking information. Sonia is furious when Don escorts her to her car. Don tells Sonia he did wrong m marrying her. CHAPTER XVI Sonia wondered how she could stand so straight, when mentally she had fainted and was stretched upon the floor. Sheer pride kept her muscles under control. If his love for her was finished after a year, then it was finished. She uttered no protest. Without a word she started for the door. "Sonia, I’m sorry I asked you not to force me into a discussion of this.” Her eyes flashed, but she did not reply. There would be no further discussion. She had discovered all she needed to know. And her heart was a bleeding, broken thing, trailing in the dust If he had treated her like this in the beginning. . . . She had expected it then. But to turn on her after a year of happiness The night was ghastly. She had suffered physical agony over Franklin Crane. It was not to be compared with her sick despair now. For this was not physical only. . . . There were so many tender, little ties. . . . Oh, God, to give him up now! After having known the dear delight of belonging to him. The hours ticked by. A dragging, endless torment. Sonia felt that something warm and sweet in her had died. Her passionate faith in Don —the faith which had restored her confidence and self-respect, which had saved her from bitterness —could never be reborA. Before morning Don received an emergency call. (Sonia watched the opaque shadows lighten into grayriess. Then came the golden, burstng glory of the sun. It left her old. But if only one’s soul is dead one must continue the motions of living. She rose at her accustomed hour to bathe and dress. Neglecting no detail of a toilette which was" utterly meaningless. She dared not start omitting. Or soon there might be \othing to do. One slip would send :or self-control flying. Don returned to breakfast. His

face was anxious and strained. She had no idea whether it was from his marital unhappiness or professional why! As he left again be said, ‘Mother will come out in a taxi. She asked us not to meet her.” Even when he kissed her she offered no resistance, although the caress stung her like a blow. But when he had gone she went to her closet and brought forth armloads of clothing. Dear clothes he had adored. They were like other Sonias wistful-eyed, reproachful. . . . Every gown a memory, still fragrant! She crammed them into her trunk. Before she had finished Mrs. Stilwater came, fresh and vigorous, bringing a breath of common sense into the surcharged atmosphere. “My dear, are you sure you don’t mind my coming? I had some business. I am positive the taxi driver overcharged me, Sonia. But what can one do when there it is on the slip? How is Don?” Sonia had expected that question first. “He is pretty well," was answered, bravely. “How nice your flat looks. You are a good little housekeeper. You haven’t been sorry we decided on this rug?” “Not at all. I like it awfully well. Everyone admires it.” Mrs. Stillwater beamed. “They should. We spent a great deal of time and money on it. I saw your mother before I left. She sent her love.” “Is mother feeling better?” “I didn’t know she had been ill.” A tender little smile twisted Sonia’s lips. It was so like Anna to conceal the fact that she had not been well. They had come the length of the hall. Suddenly Sonia wished that she had not been so hasty with her decision. Don’s mother might have been able to suggest a better plan. “That’s cowardice, old thing,” she confessed, and opened the door, quickly. The room was strewn with her possessions. The trunk faced them. “Why, Sonia, are you planning to go away? I’m afraid it wasn’t convenient. . Sonia replied with the sickening resignation of a patient being lifted upon a hospital cart, “I’m not going away. Just leaving.” The pleased, motherly, face became serious. "Leaving Don?” “Yes.” “What do you mean? After all that’s already happened. . . . Won’t you ever settle down?” “I’m sorry,” Sonia began. “I told Don In the very beginning. . . " “Oh, my dear child, don’t bring that up again. Don has been so patient. . . . He loves you so devotedly. . . .” “You’re mistaken,” Sonia replied, calmly. “He doesn’t love me at all. That’s the reason—the ONLY reason,” she added, catching her breath, “I’d ever go.”

Mrs. Stillwater sighed and sat down upon the bed. "Come here, dear. Now if you can, I wish you’d explain to me.” Her dark eyes, so like her son’s, filled with tears. "I wonder if you realize how I have defended you since your marriage. How I’ve sung your praises—and honestly, Sonia— In the face of stories that it has almost CRUCIFIED me to hear repeated about my son’s wife.” She took the girl's hand, which lay in hers, listlessly. “I believe in you, Sonia. I know you are a good girl because if you weren’t, Don would never have married you.” Her kind face blurred before Sonia’s eyes. . . . She was to be turned out from the shining radiance of a devotion like this. The wages of sin is death, Sonia. Death of love! Death of the only thing In your life that has ever been a necessity. . . She spoke vaguely, incapable of explaining, forbidden by Don to confess the whole truth to any human being. “You have been wonderful to me, Mrs. Stillwater, and so has Don. I would ask nothing better than to remain his wife—” She continued, jerkily. “But you see things are not like they were at first. Don admits that he is disappointed in- me.” “I don’t believe it." . “Oh, but it’s true.” "Then you’ve done something—” “No, it isn’t that. And he is willing to go on." “Well, what is it, Sonia? It sounds perfectly ridiculous to me.” Sonia stared at her in despair. “Don doesn’t love me. That’s all.” Suddenly a smile broke across the older woman’s face. She cried. “Sonia, are you going to have a baby, honey? Is THAT what’s the matter with you?” For the first time since Don’s explanation, Sonia hid her face and began to cry. Mrs. Stillwater, certain that she had found the solution, patted her gently, murmuring little comforting phrases. “Oh, don’t please,” the girl sobbed. “I’m not. You're awfully mistaken.” The little phrases stopped. Dangled in midair! “Truly, I’ve told you all I can.” "You’ve told me nothing what ever. I won’t have you treating him like this, Sonia. He doesn't deserve it. What do you intend to do?” “Go back to work.” “And have the whole town wagging their heads and all the gossip started again.” “I can’t help that.” “Well, you can. You must.” Tears were rolling down Mrs. Stillwater’s cheeks. “You’ve brought enough unhappiess tc my boy ” Sonia stood as if petrified. “I know. You see that's the reason I tried to avoid it.” “You’re a selfish, headstrong girl. You aren’t worthy of being a good man’s wife. . . .” “I guess you’re right,” Sonin faltered. Stark horror swept the features of the older woman. “Do you mean Sonia, if you go now, I shall think. . . Without a trace of spirit, Sonia replied, "I’m sorry. But you see I have to go.” (To be Continued) LIGHTS INDICATE TUBES Hu United Press LONDON, Jan. 20. —Searchlights to direct pedestrians to underground railway stations is the latest wrinkle in London transportation schemes. They have been installed on a chain of stations of the newly opened South London underground line to Morden. Installation of the lights is said to have been hailed with joy by loving couples spooning on the wilds of Clapham Common. Scores of couples used to become lost nightly in the wilds of the Common, wandering around an hour or more before they could find their way out. Since the searchlights have been installed, they find that they can spoon until Just before closing time, and then with an eye on the nearest beacon light, easily locate the station.

Sixteenth St. Bandits held up George Acton, 20, of 1857 Orleans St., taxi driver, at 1900 Roosevelt Ave. Acton said the men boarded the cab at the Union Station and, after they drove a short distance trying to locate a family, one suddenly drew a gun and took $6. ASK BETTER DETOURS Bill Provides Highway Commission Be Held Responsible. In an effort to provide* for better detours in the State, Representative H. Curtis Bennett, Dillsboro, has submitted a measure in the Indiana House transfering the care of such detours made necessary by closing of State roads to the State highway commission and requiring that the commission be responsible for their condition. A school for the education of Negroes in domestic arts and sciences and in agriculture is provided In a bill submitted In the House by Representative Ella Y. Gardner of Marion County. Mrs. Gardner proposes that the State appropriate $25,000 for the purchase of a site when private donations for buildings shall have reached a similar amount.
