3K" A SUITOR MANY y in /MILDRED ° VT^ii—Ml

JCWCEK'NING THE ACTION AND CHARACTERS LILA LATHAM becomes the bride of HERBERT WARE, but the qicture of an old sweetheart. CAPTAIN JACK FARQUAHAR, lurks in her mind. She confidcs her plight to her best friend. DOROTHY CAINE, an artist.. A mysterious letter awaits Lila at Dorothy’s Studio, and it brings back memories of the war to her. On returnng from her honeymoon, he is told that a communication from the War Department is awaiting her. In a flash, she is back in the past. Memories of her first meeting with Captain Farquahar, when she was doing ■war work, come to her. She sees again the scene in a little French inn—a dinner to celebrate her, marriage on the morrow to Jack—then orders, that very night, sending his regiment to the front at once. There is no wedding, but, before Jack's brother officers, Lila promises him that she will wait (or him—that they will be mmlid when he return, no matter what time intervenes. Jack leaves and. But he is not officially* reported .until five years latter. IJ is only then that Lila feels herself free to marry Herbert. The letter from the War Department tells her that Jack’s insurance is to be paid to her as his fiancee. Later, Herbert sees LMI being interviewed by a man who has called in recard to the Insurance. She tells him the man is a suitor of Dorothy's and that she is urging him to cease his unwel- ■ come attentions. Herbert’s unsympathetic attitude—for he is je. * us of Lila’s friendship with Dorothy—almost causes a quarrel. To make amends, he buys her a bracelet and puts it in her jewel-case, as a surprise. There he sees a ring—a e'iamond circlet that looks like a wed-ding-ring. He asks (or an explanation, and she *ays the ring belongs to a friend. MRS. VARNEY She explains further that Mrs. Varney gave her the ring, against her protests, as security (or a bridge debt. Herbert believes her story. After tuis lull, the sight of a certain man in a shoo throws Lila into a panic. He is GILROY HOLMES, an army officer whom she knew in France, and a witness to her pledge to Jack. Lila’s next move, since Jack’s war insurance has been paid to her, is to give it to a fund for disabled veterans. Although she makes the gift an anonymous one. a woman in the office of the organization reveals her identity. Herbert, meanwhile, meets Mrs. Varney in a restaurant and the talk turns to jewelry. She telis him she loves Tings—except wedding rings. They are a badge of servitude. Herbert furious at Lila, rushes hom to demand an explanation. Dorothy, who is with Lila when he arrives, tefls him the ring is Mrs. Varney’s, that it was given her by a French nobleman to whom she was engaged. In compliance with her family’s wishes, the engagement was broken. Some time later, Mrs. Varney’s husband innocently reveals to Herbert the fact that his wife has never been abroad. ; Lila manages an explanation of this, only to have anew crisis loom. , ’ i Herbert learns of her generous gift to the fund for disabled war veterans. She says she was merely the agent for her uncle, who wanted to honor the memory of a soldier son. 'And then Dorothy telephones that a cable has just arrived from Jack Farquahar. He is alive and well and on his way home. Lila faints.

CHAPTER XX The Hour of Reckoning; IT was Herbert himself who found Lila in a dead faint on the library floor when he entered the house shortly after 5 o’clock. The telephone was lying under the reading table, but Herbert was too distracted to notice this. He thought, at first, that Lila was dead; she lay so white and still. In an agony of fear, he took her in his arms and kissed her pallid face. “My darling, my darling, come back to me!” he moaned, i Later he was a little ashamed of his lack of composure and found time to be thankful that there had been no witnesses. At the moment he was merely panic stricken. He bore Lila up to her dressing room, calling for the servants as he went. Her maid hurried in with water and smelling salts; Siddons brought a rug; Herbert chafed ner chili little hands and forced brandy between her blue lips. Then, at length, after what seemed to Herbert an agonizingly leng time, a tinge of color crept into her cheeks, and she began to breathe deeply and regularly. He dismissed the servants then and sat beside her, holdin 0 her hands. Finally she stirred and her eyes opened. She looked up at him with a vague, blank stare. After a moment it gave way to a look of fear tt a a HE gathered her close. “It’s all right, sweetheart. You were out for a moment, but you’re going to feel better soon.” “I fainted,” said Lila weakly. “I never did that before in all my life.” . “Os course not, dearest,” Herbert said soothingly. “You were taken suddenly ill. I quite understand.” “Yes, I suppose so,” murmured Lila

Bob and Faith, in their own room that night, began to talk of Cherry and Alan Beardsley in earnest. '.“Bob, what do you think of Alan? Os course any woman would think he’s fascinating—” Bob answered slowly, thoughtfully: “I really don’t know', honey-girl. Oddly enough, he’s not the type that men dislike, although women go crazy about him. He’s pretty big punkins, you know. “Handsome, with that thick black hair just turning gray at the temples, those fine, pentrating eyes. Fine figure of a man, on a dance floor, on a golf course or at a directors’ meeting. You can’t blame Cherry if she’s flattered at his attentions. It’s obvious that he’s crazy about the kid.” “I’m awfully afraid she’s more than just flattered. I thought—hoped—that she’d stay so much in love with Nils that no other man could matter.” Bob laughed harshly. “Don’t you know by this time that Cherry isn’t the sort of girl to whom other men don’t matter, regardless of how much in love with her husband she is? “Cherry has been in love fatuously at least three timtes, and Lord knows; how many times she’s been ‘interested.’ “She’s been married ten months now, and ■ until she met Alan Beardsley, she "hadn’t so much as sent a ‘come-3*Bhl6r’ glance out of those golden hers at any other man. A pretty good record for Cherry." ggsem “But Bob.” Faith ftefteaT “do you think Cherry will little fool of h°TKelf. as she’d done so often

wry.y, think desperately to herself: "If he only knew!” Aloud she said: “Darling, will you send for Dorothy? I want to see her.” Herbert frowned. He couldn’t understand why Lila wanted Dorothy, just now, but he felt that, all things considered, he ought to humor her. He left her lying on the couch in her dressing room, looking very pale and lovely and strangely thoughtful, while he went down to the library to telephone. It was then that he saw the instrument on the floor, He for Siddons. “How did this happen. Siddons?” The butler bowed. “Madame dropped it when she fell. She was telephoning when she fainted.” Herbert was too perturbed to notice the smirk on the face of the butler. • He dismissed him and sat down at the library table to think over this new r development. So Lila had been telephoning when she lost consciousness: she had been sitting quietly in a chair, under no exertion whatever, and simply toppled over. nun TO Herbert’s mind that argued only one thing; the message she had received had given her a shock that had made her unconscious. Lila wasn’t the fainting sort; she'd driven an amublance through wartorn France. Therefore, the message, of the person giving it, must have terrified her.

the past? Heaven knows I’m an adoring sister, but I’m not a blind one.” Bob considered seriously before answering. “That would be the natural supposition, honey. But we have more than Cherry to consider. “There’s Nils, you know, and I can’t imagine that stalwart young Viking standing placidly by and letting another man steal his wife. You know Nils was the first man who had ever tamed Cherry, and I think she’s still fair-to-middling tame — just straining at the bit. “I also think Nils is wise to let her out a little. I’ll wager Nils knows his filly better even than we do. .. . Just what is the terrible tale up to date?” “He’s been here ten days, you know, and Cherry has been with him part of every one of those day? Lunching with him, going to matinees, helping him choose materials for suits, guiding his choic’ of cravats and shirts ... Oh, tin usual stuff! “I was with them twice for luncn and shsopping . The salespeople thought she was his wife, addressed her as ‘Madame’—thosd who didn 1 recognize her as that ‘notoriou Cherry Lane who was tried for murder’.” “Nils is with them a good many times, isn’t he?” Bob asked. “Oh, of course!” Faith protested “They never go anywhere evenings without him. He's out at the ’farm two or three evenings a week, and they attend Country club dance? and go to the theater and restaurants together—the three of them ” “You'd better have a talk with her—jack her up good and proper,’’ Bob advised. (T Re Continued.)

To whom had Lila been telephoning when she had fainted? He went back to her dressingroom. She was lying where he had left her, staring with inscrutable eyes at the opposite wall. . “Whom were you talking to over the telephone when you became ill?” he demanded. Lila stared at him strangely and moistened her dry lips. “Was I telephoning? Everything seems to hazy, so unreal.” Herbert's eyes warned her. She drew a deep sigh. * “Oh, yes, I know. It was Dot. I’d just called her—and then the whole world went black.” That was the truth, she thought wearily. Her life was in chaos. Her marriage wrecked. What was tt Dorothy had said? Jack Farquahar was alive; he was coming home; he was sailing tomorrow. Jack Farquahar, with whom she had made that marriage pledge in France, so long ago, was coming back to hold her to her promise. She heard herself saying, over and over again, to Herbert, during the past months: “No, darling, there has never been any one but you,”—and believing it. “And now I’m going to be found out.” she said to herself. "Dear heaven, what am I going to do?” She turned her face to the wall and began to weep bitterly. (To Be Continued) Copyright. 1927. Meironnliti u Newspaper Service. New York.

One instance of her tact is related concerning a visit made to the White House by Adelina Patti. The two conversed for hours. Mrs. Cleveland thought it time for her guest to depart.
