DENIES LEAP IN OGEANON DARE Society Man Says Plunge Tartly Foolishness.’ Bu United Press WASHINGTON, July 11.—Morton Hoyt, 29-year-old Washington society man, said here today it was “partly impulse, partly damfoolishness” that caused him to leap overboard from the steamship Rochambeau off the Grand Banks, Newfoundland, several evenings ago. He denied that Miss Elsie Ekengren, 17, a former diplomat’s daughter of this city, had dared him to make the jump into the foggy sea, from which he was rescued by the ship’s crew, though the girl herself was quoted in New York as having made him a sort of dare. “I never met Miss Ekengren until this trip from Le Havre,” he said. “We had dinner together, then gathered on the promenade deck with others. “I said, except for the fog, any one could swim in that sea. One of the men said, ‘Well, yes, if it were not foggy.’ “I don’t know what came over me, but I took off my coat and jumped. I didn’t realize until I started swimming that the stunt was foolhardy. After my rescue a very pretty girl called out from a porthole, ‘Oh, you nit-wit.’ “I was sober all the time.” HOLD SANTA’S DOUBLE \ ■ By United Press QUINCY, 111., July 11.—Authorities are endeavoring to ascertain the real identity of their “Santa Claus prisoner.” The man held here has given his name as Richard Lambert, 70, but police are dubious and have sent his picture, Bertillion records and descriptions to various penal institutions in the hope of learning his right name. His flowing white oeard, and short rotund figure casts him as a perfect double for the legendary St. Nicholas. Forty-five dollars in bills were found pinned to his clothing, and jewelry of various descriptions and burglar tools were found in his possession. Woman, 93, Buried Today EVANSVILLE, Ind., July 11.— Funeral services were held today for Mrs. Caroline Wolflin, 93, who died Sunday after an illness of three years. She had lived here eighty - two years. Had 15 Years of Stomach Agony With It, Had Kidney Trouble and Back-Ache. Recovers Health. / After years of torture from stomach and kidney trouble, Mr John F. Bott, 625 W. Chestnut St., Freeport, 111., suddenly shook off all his ailments and recovered his health. His letter explains it, as follows: “For 15 years I had stomach trouble and kidney weakness. After eating I would bloat with gas and suffer intense pain, followed by sick head-ache. My kidney trouble disturbed my sleep, and my back ached so terribly I could hardly drag myself home from work, and I was ready to drop the minute I got inside the door. I couldn’t j sleep, and all day long I felt weak,; dizzy and lazy. Medicine seemed I unable to help me, and life was | nothing but misery to me until I j started taking Viuna. In short or- | der I was a changed man. I car. now eat big, hearty meals with no gas, no pains and no head-ache. My kidneys seem to be fine again and I wake up every morning feeling rested and ready for work. The awful back-ache is gone, and I can now enjoy walking to and from the shop. I feel stronger and better each day, and it is wonderful to know that my long illness is over at last.” ▼lnna let* promptly bn sluggish Bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys.

THIS HAS HAPPENED BERTIE LOU WARD, on the eve of her wedding to ROD BRYER, feel* a premonition of trouble at receiving a darger-like paper knife from LILA MARSH, an ex-sweetheart of Rod’s. She courageously resolves not to be jealous, but she receives another blow to her pride when she accidentally overhears one bridesmaid ask a girl if she thought the bride liked being a second choice. The pain in her heart vanishes when Rod whisuers “My Wife” with a world of adoration in his eyes. They spend an ideal honeymoon and Bertie Lou forgets about Lila until they return and find her playing dictator in their apartment because she “knows what Rod Uke.” The newlyweds settle down in their little plaoe, but too much hospitality upsets their financial budget. This worries Bertie Lou as does the persistent annoyance of Lila. So she is happy when Bod accepts a position in New York which has been offered by TOM FRASER. They are anxious to make a good impression, so live in an expensive hotel until the yean find an apartment. Finally they locate three rooms, but cannot get their furnitnre shipped from Wayville. So expenses continue to amount and MOLLY FRASER urges Bertie Lou to buy “smart clothes” and entertains so lavishly that they feel under obligation to take them out to nice places in return. Rod worries Bertie Lou by plajing poker with Tom. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XII BERTIE LOU hit upon the truth when she said that Molly did not like her. It would not have troubled her, however, had Molly not wanted to keep up the appearance of friendship. Bertie Lou supposed it was for Rod’s sake. Both the Frasers were very fond of him. And for that reason she made no effort to avoid Molly altogether though she found it difficult to keep, them from offending her. “She’s a throwback,” she complained to Rod. “She doesn’t seem to know that women can get more out of life without hypocrisy. Golly, I do miss the girls at home!” It would have surprised her to know the real reason for Molly’s dislike of her. It was partly, as she had guessed, her half-joking half serious remark about living within Rod’s income. It had irritated Molly when she learned from Tom that Bertie Lou would do that of necessity. She felt that Bertie Lou had been posing as choosing to do so. But the thing that annoyed her most, and changed her feeling toward Bertie Lou from a negative state to an active dislike, was Bertie Lou’s complete refusal to recognize her importance as the wife of Rod’s employer. Molly was so fond of parade she was willing to sacrifice her desire to drop Bertie Lou in order to satisfy her ego. She loved to feel that Bertie Lou must lopk up to her, whether she showed it or not. She’d have been happy if she could have made Bertie Lou tremble. Bertie Lou didn’t see any cause for being grateful to Molly on Rod’s account. If gratitude was due it belonged to Tom, she felt. She could see that Molly expected gratitude and attention, but she never guessed that her failure to give them was Molly’s chief reason for disliking her. At times she thought it might be because Molly had such a strong affection for Lila that she didn’t care for the girl Rod had married. Bertie Lou never would have made a friend of Molly had the choice I been left to her. But she found it i not in. possible to submerge her criti- j

cism of Tom’s wife in her old friendship for him. Tom had been the big boy that 7-year-old Bertie Lou star-gazed at in school. Now she was beginning to wonder, with Molly becoming difficult, if she could hide her opinion of her much longer. It irked her to be compelled to associate with ft woman with whom she had nothing in common. An infrequent hour or two in Wayville had not mattered, as she said to Rod. But feeling that she must continue to see Molly just because Rod worked for her husband wasn’t the sort of thing she expected of life. It was a compromise—something Bertie Lou hated in spite of the fact that she could, on occasion, force herself to it. And so, knowing that Molly was sharpening the ax for her, Bertie Lou guessed the reason why she suggested Thursday as the night to accept Rod’s invitation to a supper club. Lila would be in New York then! And Rod, the big goof, would be host to her. Bertie Lou could have killed somebody that minute. Molly was getting even now for the many times Bertie Lou’s wit had left her tripping lamely along, vaguely aware that Bertie Lou was laughing at her. Molly saw the storm clouds on Bertie Lou’s countenance. She knew that she had her on the toasting fork. Os course, she didn’t realize that Bertie Lou had read her mind like a full page ad or that she hadn’t any more ammunition to fire. She decided to shove Bertie Lou a little closer to the fire. “If we wait until Thursday Lila will be here,” she said sweetly. And was greatly disappointed that Bertie Lou showed no surprise. And with her eyes still on Rod’s bride she missed Rod’s expression. The complacency he had shown earlier in the evening instantly disappeared upon his hearing of Lila’s coming. An innocent illusion went with It. Like Bertie Lou, he thought he could escape Lila in New York. But Bertie Lou had known better for several days; since she had discovered that. Molly was antagonistic, but unwilling to end their camouflage friendship ... and that she was keen for Lila. “She’ll delight In throwing us together,” she foresaw, but she did not mention her fears to Rod. It came as a shock to him to perceive that Lila would loom large upon his horizon when she visited the Frasers. Having known it beforehand Bertie Lou was enabled to

recover her composure much too soon to please Molly. “That will be great,” she said pleasantly. “I’m dying to go to a night club, but it will be more fun to have Lila along.” "Come on, let’s go tonight,” Rod urged. “Certainly not,” Bertie Lou objected. “We’ll wait for Lila.” Molly looked blank enough to bring satisfaction to Bertie Lou for her decision. She wouldn’t have Molly telling Lila they were afraid of her . . . and she could see that Molly lost a little of her confidence . . . she seemed not so sure now that she could wound Bertie Lou. That helped. Bertie Lou had never been to a night club and she didn’t know what she was doing when she turned gayly to the others in the company and asked if they all had next Thursday free. Very, very fortunately, as she was couple was going to Atlantic City to learn later, they had not. One for a long week-end. The other had a dinner engagement anti a theater afterward. That left only the Frasers, themselves and Lila. Bertie Lou offered Rod a tightlipped kiss that night. He felt guilty, so he took It silently and very soon pretended to be asleep. What a dumb oyster he’d been to pull that club stuff! Bertie Lou silently agreed with his silent opinion of himself. Only she thought In superlatives. To speak of it would surely precipitate a quarrel. Their first quarrel. She gulped a little over the thought of it. Things could never be the same again If she quarreled with Rod. But why, oh why, wouldn’t he stop playing poker? The next morning Rod volunteered to wire to her mother about selling the furniture. He wanted to make amends to Bertie Lou for his impulsive generosity of the night before. It wouldn’t be pleasant for her to have Lila in their party, he knew. Bertie Lou came out of her gloom at the prospect of buying new furniture for the apartment. Nice as It had been to have so many things given them when they were married she believed she “We won’t wait for the sale of the old stuff,”, Rod added. And neither of them smiled when they

spoke of their furniture as “old.” “We’ll probably get about S3OO for It. You can spend that much. But it leaves our bank balance with a very boyish figure, indeed,” he ended. There was one blot on Bertie Lou’s happiness when she went out to elect the furniture. She needed anew evening dress. Molly had lifted her pencil-thin eyebrows over the return appearance of the beige chiffon afternoon dress at evening affairs. She’d have to buy anew dress for Rod’s party. And it must be a good-looking one, nothing cheap. "But how can I get it?” she worried. Her own money, such as she had saved before her marriage, had all been spent for linens and other furnishings for the flat In Wayville. And Rod couldn’t spare the money for an expensive gown just now. She thought of borrowing it from her father. But her parents, like Rod’s had opposed their moving to New York. She hated to confess they already were running short of funds. Her problem was solved for her by a salesgirl in a store where she bought a pair of gloves. "Charge?” could achieve a more artistic home by selecting everything herself, the girl said laconically as Bertie Lou absent-mindedly neglected to offer any money. Charge! Why hadn’t she thought of that? She made inquiries and was directed to the credit department. There she gave the name of Rod’s employer and his address, as well as their own and was told the management wo aid communicate with her shortly. Bertie Lou thought she detected an expression of surprise on the face of the man she was talking with when she gave the name of her hotel. She knew enough about New York now to appreciate the Incongruity of a person in Rod’s position making it his home. It wouldn't make them appear irresponsible, she hoped, and thereby disqualify them as charge account customers of the store. On her way out she was seized with anew apprehension that caused her to tum quickly in search of a telephone booth. (To Be Continued)
