THIS HAS HAPPENED BERTIE LOU WARD marries ROD BRYER, who had previously been en-, gaged to LILA MARSH. They spend an ideal honeymon and the only shadow on the bride's happiness is Lila’s persistency in broadcasting to their friends A splendid position in New York is that she was Rod’s first love, oered Rod by TOM FRASER and he accepts. Anxious to make a good impression, they go to an expensive hotel until they can find an apartment. This seeSPs to antagonise MOLLY FRASER, wh urges Bertie Lou to buy more than she can afford. Rod wins money from Tom at poker and, feeling under obligation to them, recklessly invites the crowd to a night club. Bertie Lou scolds him for the extravagance and they quarrel. However, this trouble is forgotten in the rush of moving into their hew apartment. Lila surprises them by marrying a rich MR. LOREE whom she had met at their night club party. She asks Bertie Lou to forgive her past unkindnesses and be friends, with so much sincerity that she cannot be denied. But keeping up appearances with people who have as much money to spend as the Frasers and the Lnrees is a severe strain on Rod and Bertie Lou. Rod becomes discouraged and Liia grasps her chance to offer sympathy. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XX "npHERE couldn’t be any place X for my thoughts in your head,” Rod replied quizzically and hardly with a smile. The smiling came readily enough, though, to Lila’s carrnined lips. She caught the hint that sounded in his words and voice—the hint that she lacked the power of understanding. The smile crept up to her eyes, an inscrutable smile. “You don’t want a drink, do you?” she asked, in a negative inviting tone. Rod shook his head. "Come in here, then,” she said, and turned toward the drawing room door, her hand still on his arm. She had left the door open, but now she closed it behind them. There was a friendly fire and an incredibly comfortable looking sofa before it. Lila led Rod over to it and pushed him down upon the cream and gold satin cushions. “Here.” She offered cigarets in an ivory box. A golden lamp revealed that

Rod’s hand shook slightly when he held a lighted taper to the tob&cco “Loosing sleep,” Lila commented aloud. “Up too much,” Rod acknowledged. “And no sleep when you do go to bed,” Lila went on. “What are you worrying about, Rod?” “I’m not worrying.” "Do you really think that wealth makes a person free of all worry?'’ she asked suddenly. Rod turned his head to look at her- She had spoken with a touch of depression in her voice. "Even a golden crown must carry a few thorns,” she went on as he did not speak. “It is not impossible for me to understand your troubles, Rod, if they are concerned with money. My memory is not—short,” she added wit ha significant pause. “Perhaps there are many peaces in my mind that once were filled with the same thoughts that you were glooming over out there m the hall.” “Well, you found a way out of your troubles,” Rod said banteringly; “assuming that they were the same as mine.” “You mean my marriage,” Lila returned quietly. “And you’re right, Rod. Abracadabra couldn’t have done more for me.” “Who’s he?” They both laughed. “But if you really don’t know,” Lila explained, “it’s a magic word. And it can help you, too. “Is that so? I suppose you captured it in a dictionaary or a crossword puzzle and dragged it to the altar with you to do its stuff. But you see, I’m already wed. Old Ab couldn’t do a thing for me.” Lila did not answer him at once. Bertie Lou and another gin were opening the door. Lila saw them in the mirrow over the mantelpiece. “Men can make money,” she said, motioning over her shoulder for the

new arrivals to Join them on the sofa. The other girl turned back to the library, but Bertie Lou remained. The opportunity for prolonged conversation among them had already passed, however, for guests were now arriving rapidly and Lila had to give up her place beside Rod. Later in the evening she found another chance for a talk with him. A well known Broadway entertainer was giving imitations of famous stars and everyone was crowded into the drawing room. Lila and Rod stood near the door. Presently, under cover of ohe stir at the end of a particularly clever and mirth-provoking sketch, she drew him into the hall. “1 must give an order to Wilkins,” she said. "Come with me, will you?” Rod was in no mood for comedy. He did not mind leaving the drawing room. Lila led him into the library. “Wait here a minute,” she told him. “I’d better go out to the pantry. Look around. You may find a cup of punch left.” Rod went over to a chair by a window that someone had opened. Outside the weather was below zero but the clean, cold air that came into the sixteenth floor apartment was a blessed relief from the warm, perfumed atmosphere of the drawing room. Lila was back in a few minutes. “How would you like some milk’” she asked him. It would soothe you.” She held out a small tray with a large glass on it. Rod waved it away. “Take it,” Lila urged. “I heated it a little. It will take the edge off your nerves.” Rod was at the point where resistance was a bore. He took the milk. Lila drew heavy curtains over the window before she came to sit on the arm of his chair while he drank slowly from the tall glass. "Did Bertie Lou ever tell you how I had to get down on my knees and beg her to accept me as a friend?” she asked quietly. Rod glanced up at her. Her expression was serious. "You know Bertie Lou better than that,” he said. “It’s true that I had to beg her,

Rod. But Bertie Lou is a peach. She’s never rubbed it in. I only wish I were as sure of your friendship as I am of hers.” Rod was a trifle uncomfortable in his mind. “What’ve I done?” he inquired. Lila laughed. “Not a thing to hurt, old dear, but it’s what you might do that worries me. You see I want you to trust me and I’m afraid you don’t. You don’t oelieve that I’m capable of appreciating your troubles.” ’’Why should you understand my troubles? Money’s nothing to you now.” Rod realized as soon as the words were said that he had admitted the existence of the possibility they had joked over earlier in the evening. He hadn’t meant to tell his troubles to Lila or any one else. How the devil had it come about? Lila’s eyes were filled with satisfaction. “But I’ve told you that I haven’t forgotten what tight holes I used to be in half the time over money,” she said, a bit impatiently.

“I know you must be having a bad time, Rod. And it’s so utterly unnecesssary, too, because Cyrus will give you a good job any time you yrant it.” Rod frowned. Bertie Lou had spoken of the same thing not long ago as a future possibility. He’d flatly told her that was one thing he wasn’t going to do. And without the necessity of plain spoken words both had understood that he meant he would not accept a position from the husband of the girl who had thrown lifm over. “Let’s get back to the show,” he said, putting the glass down on a smoking stand. Lila pressed a hand on his chest to keep him from rising. “You see,” she jibed at him, “Bertie Lou is a better friend. I’m sorry, because I thought you were so happy with her that you couldn’t hold the past against me.” "I don’t,” Rod said shortly. “No offense, Lila, since you’re so happy with Cy, but I owe you a lot for giving me the gate.” A flicker, too brief to betray its

meaning, came to Lila’s eyes and was gone. “Then why, if I’m meaningless to you, should you refuse a position from Cy?” she asked. Rod squirmed. She saw that and laughed at him. “Don’t be foolish, Rod. You have a right to be happy. Heaven knows you and Bertie Lou are like two cuckoo d<>ves. But you can’t enjoy life without any money, not here in New York and with the friends you’ve got.” Rod groaned. “I’m always telling Bertie Lou we don’t belong with you and Cy and tne rest of ’em.” “And Bertie Lou has too much sense to listen to you. No, Rod, you’re double crossing yourself somewhere. I could understand how you’d feel about it if you were still in love with me. But. you say you’re not. And you know that the lack of money Is turning you into a joyless old foggy and yet you won’t accept your chance to give Bertie Lou the things all women want. (To Be Continued)
