BEGIN HERE TODAY When Diana Farwell'a mother overhears talk of love between her daughter and a schoolboj friend, she Is fearful that Diana will "go wrong,’’ like her sister, Vivian, who ran away from homo four years before. So the mother hastens a marriage of Diana with Arthur Vane, some years older, a successful San Francisco lawyer, Diana is only 18 and goes Into marriage believing "Arthur is so different from other men he will always be satisfied with merely spiritual love.” He respects her reserve, as a young glrfe natural shyness, at first. But, after months of loveless wedded life, be tells her she has wrecked his life. Some time after her mother dies, Diana leaves Arthur and finds her long-lost sister, Vivian, preparing for a trip to New York. Diana rents a room at the home of Mrs. Burton, widowed friend of Diana’s mother, and enrolls In Setons School of Acting. . ... Within a few months she, has progressed so well with her work that she Is taken by Shepherd Seton. head of the school, as his personal pupil. In a few weeks he has aroused In her, In his impassioned love scenes they rehearse together, sensations she has never had Diana falls passionately In love with Seton and decides to ask Arthur for a flatly refuses to divorce her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIV ALL THE way back to school Diana was feeling sorry for herself. It didn’t seem possible that Arthur could be bo cruel. Although their marriage was utterly meaningless he would not release her. In the eyes of the law, that all-power-ful god worshiped by her husband, she must remain Mrs. Arthur Vane. “But he shan’t keep me from living my own life,” she thought. Unjustly, because there was nothing Arthur had asked her not to da He had made no demands. Os course, he was unable to understand the urge she felt for a legal separation. Feeling a little more sane she asked herself why it had suddenly seemed so necessary that they be divorced, for answer she saw the quiet, contemplative gaze of Shepherd Seton. “You’re mine, Diana.” Oh, but she was! Body and soul! No other man had ever been able to rouse her emotions. No other could mold her opinions and shape her very personality as Seton had done. But wasn’t he tied, too? Even if she obtained her freedom, what about him? She had discovered now that men were slower to seek divorce. In spite of her confidence earlier In the day there really seemed ho solution, except to continue as they were, working together, seeing each other every day, tortured Into caresses which kept her keyed to the breaking point Her work was alternatively a safety valve and a pit of despair. There were days when she was so obsessed by her lover that she could not rise above sheer desire for him. Other times when passion was transmitted into a flame of ability. She was adorably piquant or peccant as the case might be.- Wistfully pathetic or pathetically hard! Whatever her part demanded she threw Into it a fervor which would have been impossible a year ago. And she told herself, seriously, that if It

were not for Seton she could never have endured the rigorous training, the unceasing discipline her profession required. Long ago she had lost all desire for personal glory. She wished now to be successful for him. To vindicate his belief in her. Arrived at the school she hastened to his studio. He greeted her gaily, without allusion to the scene of the night before. “How are you, Diana?” “Fine.” “You look it,” he said. They began to work and in the stress of pretended feeling Diana was able to forget her own unrest. When they had finished he said, “That was very good.” Catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror behind the door, Diana saw that her eyes were like stars. She gazed at herself until he asked, appreciatively, “Do you admire the lady, darling?” “In some ways I do,” she confessed. “At least 6he isn’t a little puppet any more.” She knew by the instant flash of his eyes that her remark had pleased him. * “Do you mean ths.t, Diana?” “But don’t you know it yourself? Can’t you see it’s true?” ‘lt’s what I’ve hoped,” he said, slowly. "In spite of the fact that you’d been married, you were the most unawakened girl I’ve ever known. I marvel that any man had nerve enough to marry you.” “It was disastrous,” she sighed. “You see, I was such a little fool.” “What do you mean?” Crimson to her hair, she stammered. “We never were married really.” “Diana, do you mean . . . How long did it last?” “About four months.” “Good God!” She was twisting her handkerchief like a little girl. Painfully embarrassed! If he had laughed she would have burst into tears. But he seemed to find no amusement in the situation. Instead he drew her to him, saying gently, “I had no idea there was anything like this back of it. Why did you marry him?” But she discovered she could not discuss her husband. “I can’t talk about it,” she said. “I thought I loved him, of course. I realize now that I didn’t.” “Why now?” “Because,” she faltered. “Now I know what love is . . .” “And what is it, Diana?” Shyly she put her arms around

his neck and pressed her cheek to his. "This,” she said. “What you have taught me." He caught her to him, smothering ner reply. , “Diana, you darling!” "Oh, don’t,” she cried, but weakly. And, being a man of much discernment, Seton understood and continued kissing her . . . Before she left he said, “My wife went East yesterday.” So that had been the cause of his excitement. In spite of her effort for control Diana’s voice trembled, as she asked, “How long will she be away?” “About six weeks, I suppose.” Neither of them dared look at the other. There was such deadly significance in that reply. Diana sighed and straightened her hat. He sighed and heightened with color, said “Well, good-by! It’s time for my next lesson.” Diana flew down the street "About six weeks I suppose.” Six weeks of freedom from domestic ties! From being a husband! She imagined a dozen delightful- possibilities. * , They might go to some little out of the way place for dinner. Or a dance! Fancy dancing with Shtp-

herd Seton! Long rides on Sunday! Perhaps a beach picnic! The fact that he belonged to another woman did not disturb her greatly because in her own experience marriage had meant so little. Also, being supremely young and selfish, Dana figured that it was impossible to take anything that was not already hers. If he had loved his wife he would not have needed her affection and companionship. “A sweet, unspoiled, little comrade,” was all he had asked her to be. Certainly there was nothing wrong about that. Nothing cheap or common. With cheeks still glowing from his kisses, she could not

feel that there was anything but good in their love. It was too instinctive. Too fundamental! One couldn’t be ashamed of an impluse so divine. .“It isn’t in the least like Vivian’s affair,” she thought, defensively, “I would marry him tomorrow.” Vivian had refused to marry her lover. Had preferred running away and leading a life of—was it shame? Diana didn’t know. But whatever it was it seemed to suit her sister better than being a housewife within the four walls of a cottage in their home town. . . . Yet Diana could even picture herself living in her mother’s home with Shepherd Seton. Absorbed and interested. Too im-
