THIS HAS HAPPENED BERTIE LOU WARD, on the eve of her wedding to ROD BRYER, receives a paper knife as a gift from LILA MARSH, who had turned Rod down because he was not wealthy. The feel of the metal chilled Bertie Lou, and the thought that it was a dagger to pierce her happiness flashed across her mind so that her dreaming anticipation turned to miserable foreboding. But she courageously resolves not to ba jealous of Rod's past love affair. His future is in har keeping. Bertie Lou receives a second blow to her pride when she accidentally overhears one bridesmaid ask another if she thinks the bride likes being second choice. She goes through the ceremony in a dare, but when Rod whispers, "My wife,” with a world of wonder and admiration in his eyes, she knows that she would rather be second choice than to give him up. They spend an ideal honeymoon and Bertie Lou almost forgets the shadow east by the predatory ex-sweetheart until they return and find Lila acting as dictator in their apartment on the ground that she knows what Rod likes. Both the bride and her mother resent this determination of Lila’s to annoy them, and Mrs. Ward takes the first opportunity to advise Bertie Lou that she tkinks they would be happier if they could avoid meeting Lila in the future. Bertie Lou says she will do everything to keep Rod loving her, but nothing to make him hate Lila. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOIvY CHAPTER V IHOPE that’s not a caller,” Mrs. Ward remarked as Bertie Lou left the bedroom to see If Rod was answering the door. “I’ll see who it Is,” she heard him say, and then Bertie Lou ducked back to scramble into a dress. In a moment they both went out and found Rod untying a square box that a boy had delivered. “Thank heavens you aren’t having company,” his mother-in-law said fervently. “Give me my hat, Bertie Lou. Where did I put it? On the phonograph, I think. Here it is. Lock the door behind me and don't answer any more doorbells. The whole town’s likely to begin calling on you after supper.” Bertie Lou kissed her warmly and thanked’hier and then turned back from the door to discover Rod standing over the square box with a strange expression twisting his features into a cross between a grin and a scowl. Bertie Lou came over and looked into the box. Nothing more impressive than a square of devil-food cake met her gaze. But it might as w?ll have been a scorpion from the way she drew back from it. “With Lila’s compliments,” Rod explained, glancing at a card in his hand. “Wishes us happiness.” Bertie Lou thought it was very j silly. Just the sort of thing Lila would do. But she said nothing of what she thought to Rod. Lila was his concern. Bertie Lou knew that some wives sneered at the girls their husbands had gone with when they knew them. It was a cheap thing to do, she believed. “Shall we have it for dessert?” she asked quietly, after she had recovered from the surprise it had occasioned her. “I hate the damned stuff,” Rod replied. “Throw it in the garbage pail.” “Let’s see first what mother left for us,” Bertie Lou said,' hiding her satisfaction. They went to explore the kitchen and found what Bertie Lou hoped would be there—a big, juicy blackberry pie. They set about preparing their first dinner in their own home. Bertie Lou found peeled, cut potatoes, ready for French frying, a thick steak, corn, lettuce and tomatoes, and a melon. “I can cook that steak to the queen’s taste,” Rod volunteered. “That means you’ll like it, Bebs.” “Oh, can you?” Bertie Lou cried. “Gosh, that’s lucky, because a steak is the same as a Chinese laundry ticket to me. Guess mother couldn’t think of anything easier, though. I can do the potatoes, and here’s the salad dressing already mixed. We’re sure of that, anyhow. And I don’t see how we can spoil the melon, but if we do there’s still the pie. I wish you were a New Englander. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about breakfast.” “You won’t anyway,” Rod told her. “Just you sit opposite me and I won’t know whether I’m .eating toast or shoe leather.” Half an hour later he knew he had spoken hastily.

shoe leather tougher than that steak. And Bertie Lou’s potatoes were a pale, soggy mess. The corn was boiled too hard, but the melon was cooly delicious and the pie made up for all disappointments. “If you can stand an eatless week I’ll have mother teach me to cook,” Bertie Lou promised. She had a burned finger and a cut thumb, but she had no tears for a culinary fiasco. The idea of a bride weeping over the kind of dinner that lay before them would have made her laugh. The new way was to turn in, tackle and master—well, if not master, at least get a toehold on the art of cooking. She made no apologies. Her job when she was single had been to be a good stenographer. And her engagement hadn’t lasted long enough to permit her to take up cooking. She had worked in an office right up to the day before her wedding. And Rod had taken all her spare time. But she made a mental note to repeat the dinner a week later and make it one to be remembered as well as they’d be likely to remember the disaster accompanying the first one. “I think we’d better go and see your mother,” she said when they had finished clearing the table and washing the dishes. Rod, with a cretonne apron, had wiped them with as much pleasure as he’d have had nolishir.g anew car. But the hour was not without accident. He couldn't keep his eyes off Bertie’s lovely arms plunged deep into a pan of suds—she’d added a half cup of soap flakes to the dish water and the foamy consequences all but flooded the sink—her thick, heavy, gleaming hair and, most alluring of all, the exquisite turn of her deliciously round throat. Asa result of his gloating over having such a darling girl as his own he dropped a cup and broke it. Bertie Lou smiled bravely over it, but she felt badly, because she knew the cup couldn’t be replaced. It was from a set her mother had had when first she was married. Rod thought she was awfully sweet about it. “Let’s wait until it gets dark before we leave the house,” he said in answer to Bertie Lou’se suggestion that they visit his parents. “I don’t want to be meeting a lot of people on the way home.” Bertie Lou noted how naturally he spoke of his father’s house as “home.” Habits were strong with Rod. She wondered about his affections, and the thought brought Lila back to her mind. She wished she were strong-minded enough to forget her. She was rather quiet while they unpacked and put away the things in their suitcases. She found the dresser drawers and wardrobe shelves lined with pink tissue paper, ready to receive her trousseau. Everything in her new home was dainty and pretty. But it was very simple and inexpensive. Except the gifts from Rod’s parents, who, while not wealthy, could afford to make their only son a few good wedding presents. No one disturbed them; perhaps the absence of a light in their living room discouraged visitors from dropping in. When they slipped out to pay a call to Rod’s family the street was almost deserted, except a few blocks south, near the poolroom. They walked north and circled the center of town. Thus, undelayed, they were able to see both Rod’s parents and Bertie Lou’s. She felt a gratifying sense of newly-acquired importance. People, even relatives, were very nice to brides, she discovered. Trying to figure why, she vaguely realized that every one sees oneself in either one or the other of a pair of happy lovers. It was nearly midnight when they

returned to their flat. At the top of the' stairs Bertie Lou halted. “Carry me over the threshold for luck,” she giggled, and Rod unlocked the door, threw it open and then picked her up bodily and strode into the living room. He did not put her down at once. She was light as a feather in his heavily-muscled arms. And her lips were cool and sweet. Rod was enjoying them immensely when a roar of ha ha’s burst out and the room was flooded with bright light from a dozen flashes. Then someone turned on the electric lamps and disclosed a crowd of young people in festive attire, burlesqueing the scene they’d just witnessed. Bertie Lou struggled out of Rod’s arms and faced them with a sinking feeling of helplessness. However, had they got in? Then she remembered that the back door had been left unlocked. Rod had spoken of it at his mother’s, but they hadn’t worried about it. “Come on, we’ve got a loving cup!” There was a concerted move to the dining room and Rod and Bertie Lou were swept along. There, in the middle of the small dining room table, was a punch bowl filled with a brownish liquid and floating fruit.. “Let’s have some music!” A lot of dipping and refilling at the bowl and then they were dancing, crowding the small rooms and stumbling over the new furniture. Bertie Lou grimaced over the punch and whispered to Rod not to drink It. “It’s vile.” she warned. “For goodness sake, let’s give them something to eat,” she said the next time she had a chance for a hurried word with Rod. “Run down to the delicatessen and get something, quick. Before they wreck the place.” Rod slipped out as soon as he could get away. When he returned he was loaded with enough liverwurst, cheese and other ready-to-eat foods to supply a young army. Marcella came out to the kitchen to help Bertie Lou. “We gave Lila the slip,” she confided the moment they were alone. And then, as she saw the change that came over Bertie Lou’s countenance, she realized the tactlessness of her remark.

NEW TRIAL TO WIFESLAYER Local Man Wins as Court Holds Law Invalid. By Times Special GREENFIELD, Ind., July 3.—Earl Russell, Indianapolis, convicted a year ago of murdering his wife, Stella, has been granted anew trial by Judge Arthur C. VanDuyn oi Hancock Circuit Court here. With the action the court held unconstitutional an amendment to the criminal procedure act passed by the 1927 Indiana Legislature. Attorneys for Russell argued that testimony of physicians appointed by authority of the amendment to determine Russell’s sanity had the effect of making Russell a witness against himself and therefore violated the State constitution. In this contention, they were upheld by the court. Russell had begun serving a life sentence, but is now in the county jail here awaiting the new trial.
