THIS HAS HAPPENED BERTIE LOU WARD, on tfc- eve of he. ’vidaing ta ROD B3YF.E. feels a premonition of trouble when she receives a daggcr-like paper knife from LILA MARSH, who lias turned Rod down because Ire is not wealthy. But she courageously reoolves not to be jealous of Rod’s past love affair since his future is in her keeping. Bertie Lou receives a second blow to her pride when she accidentally overhears one bridgesmaid ask another if she thought the bride liked being second choice. The pain in her heart lingers until Rod whispers "My wife” with a world of adoration in his eyes. They spend an ideal honeymoon in a mountain resort, and Bertie Lou almost forgets the shadow cast by the predatory e.\-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 mot,ne. resent Lila’s efforts to annoy, and HRS. WARD advises Bertie Lou to try to avoid meeting her in the future. Entertainment and the demands of hospitality ciipple their budget and the newlyweds decide they will have to retrench. Then they are invited to the hotel to dine with the FRASERS, from New York, and Bertie Lou is delighted when TOM FRASER o.ers Rod a position in the city. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VIII ROD looked helplessly over at Bertie Lou. Her eyes were filled with an feagerness he could not mistake. Still, he hardly knew what to say. The proposition had been shot at him with disconcerting suddenness, end life didn’t move that way in Mayvilie. He supposed Tom had acquired the manner in New York. “You sure are speedy in the big city, aren’t you?" he said, seeking .time. Then it occurred to him that he’d have to talk the matter over with Bertie Lou in private before he gave Tom an answer. "That’s how we get there," Tom snapped back at him. “Suppose we go up to our rooms after dinner and I’ll tell you what’s on my mind while the girls and Stiles have a game of bridge.” That suited Molly; that is, with certain modifications. She decided to> show Bertie Lou and Lila her French underwear instead of mudahng through with the rules on normal expectancy" and “quick

tricks.” The men could have the sitting room. The dinner was finished in an air of subdued excitement. Bertie Lou could hardly sit still in her chair. But Rod, she knew, was undecided. She could see doubt in his face. She felt a little like shaking him. Couldn’t he see what a wonderful opportunity Tom was offering him? Lila sat in silence. The food tasted of ashes. She’d never been quite so sorry before that she’d turned Rod down. New York! Her father flatly refused to support her if she went to the city. And Lila preferred not to toil. But some day she’d meet a man ... a traveling salesman probably, who would take her away to the land of skyscrapers. It was a little galling, though, to have the one man she’d least expected to make the grade getting there ahead of her, and taking another girl with him. But then, on second thought, what would Rod amount to in New York? Tom couldn’t have so much to offer him. Lila perked up. Let him go. And she’d come along later with her moneybags, whoever he might be, and show them she hadn’t been left at the post. She was unusually gay the rest of the evening. Which puzzled Bertie Lou, who was not accustomed to exaggerated flights of fancy. Molly spread out her finery on the bed, and while her guests exclaimed over it and admired her taste until she was perfectly satisfied Tom went into the details of his offer to Rod. Mr. Stiles had excused himself. The salary was, of course, better than he wa,s receiving at present. Rod was impressed by it. There was some small doubt of his ability to take over the duties of accountant in Fraser’s firm, but Tom thought he could work into it all right. Tom was a real friend. He’d al-

ways liked Rod and wanted to give him a chance. “But my future here looks pretty good,” Rod told him. “I hope to have a junior partnership with Meeks & Son some day—or go into business for myself—certified accountant.” “H’m, in Wayville? Well, suppose that turns out to be what you really want to do, won’t you be better oif with a little city experience? A fellow doesn’t know life until he’s shaken the home soil off his shoes.” “Anyway it’s fine of you to make me the offer,” Rod evaded. “I appreciate it, Tom. Let me think it over a while, will you?” “I’m going back to New York aay after tomorrow,” Tom replied. “Have to give me your answer before I leave. The man in the job now quits on the first; if you turn it down I’ll have to promote Markson. He’ll be under you if you accept. Don’t be afraid of it, Rod. You'll make good, and we’ll know we’ve got an honest man working for us. Everybody will be happy. Bertie Lou especially. Warmed up to it plenty, didn’t she?” But Rod couldn’t be stampeded He’d never thought of leaving Wayville. f All his plans for the future centered in the little place. His parents—Bertie Lou’s. The Deople they’d known all their lives. All were bonds that could not be easily broken. At home Bertie Lou coaxed. She would not let him sleep. Her head nestled on his shoulder, and now and then she kissed him, swift little caresses, more potent than words. She pictured life in the city as one big, happy thrill.

“It isn't that I’m tired of Wayville, Rod, boy,” she explained. “But we can’t get ahead here. You know that. Look at those accounts. Why, it will be years and years before we can have enough money to build on the Heights. And this flat is . . . well, It’s hot, and it’s noisy and dusty. If they’d pave the cross street . . She paused to kiss the lobe of his ear. Rod was silent. An Indian summer night made the room close. Eertie Lou ran a hand across his damp forehead, brushing back his hair with a touch as light as -thistledown. “Wouldn’t it be great to live near the water? Tank swimming makes me sick. “And we could get an apartment in a tall building, a nice, cool one. Molly says rent Is high in New York, but with the salary Tom offered you we wouldn’t be paying any more than we are here. “It takes a fifth of what you make for this place. And for a fifth of $65 a week we ought to get a swell apartment in New York.” And so it went, far into the night. In weariness Rod gave up. After all, it wasn’t a bad proposition. A lot of fellows he knew would be tickled to death to get it. Wayville gave them a great sendoff. Everybody they knew came in to say good-by to them end turned the occasion into an excuse for a party. Rod began to feel important. And Bertie Lou was the envy of all the girls. They stored their furniture in Bertie Lou’s old home and left money to pay for having it packed

when the time came to send it to them. “We’ll find a place in a day or so,” Bertie Lou told her mother. Rod was over at his mother’s, having a long talk with her. She was opposed to his going away and Rod knew she blamed Bertie Lou for his decision. He was trying to talk her out of that. “Why ,ma, I’d be a fool to let this chance go by. Look at Tom. Wayville’s proud of him. It won’t be long before I’ll be coming back home on a visit and having a brass band meet me at the depot.” “I don’t know, son, I don’t know,” his mother said weakly. She’d not been well all summer and was much less fleshy now than she had been when Bertie Lou hid a treacherous tear on her bosom the day she was married. Rod’s heart ached at parting from her. “Seems to me you were pretty well fixed with Meeker & Son. “You had a nice home, even if it was only a rented flat. And you could have come here to live if you’d wanted to,” she added. Rod did not tell her that living with relatives was one of the things Bertie Lou had said firmly she would not do. "The flat was all right,” he said. “A fellow ought to have a home of his own, though. We’ll build in New York, I hope. Tom’s paying me well. We’ll be able to save a lot of money in no time on $65 a week.” “It sounds like an awful big salary, son. But you and Bertie Lou aren't the saving kind, I'm afraid She spent more than she should on

parties and such like. I tried to tell her once . . .” “I know,” Rod broke in; "but she couldn’t help it, Ma. That’s one why we’ll be better off out of Wayville. We know naif the people in this burg. We thought we could settle down and live our lives as we choose, but we found that our bunch still expected us to be among those present when anything was doing. Bertie Lou’s been working too hard, too, cooking and keeping house. It’ll be good for her to cut out the entertaining.” “Well, you haven’t been married very long. All that might have changed. But Bertie Lou had her heart set on going to the city, I guess.” Rod looked at his watch. “Time to go over and get her. All right j to take the car?” He found Bertie Lou ready to come back with him and say goodby to his parents. Then they returned to the Wards for their suit cases before going to the station. The same crowd that saw them off on their honeymoon was at the old wooden station to speed them on this trip. Bertie Lou felt a glow of pride in her popularity. It outweighed the depressing effect of Lila’s presence and she found herself able to feel cordial for the first time in
