His loss of words lasted for only | a few seconds, however, but in those I lew seconds Pamela had twined her : arm In Stephens and walked quickly away with him. "Was that necessary?" she repeated innocently. "Do you mean I not waiting for his congratulations? I I'm afraid he hasn't any for you.” J “You know what I mean.” "Oh. standing him up? Well, yes It was. He's been a nuisance.” Come off it. Pam.‘ Now and ■ then Stephen used Harold's short - ! cuing of her name. T don't like that fellow and I wouldn't care j what he thought if we really were engaged but your announcement seemed to hit him pretty hard." Pamela drew away from him. "Don't criticize,” she said petulantly. "He needed drastic treatment. Wouldn't understand anything else.” They were now at. the curb and ■Stephen helped her into the taxicab that drew' up for them and took his place beside her before answering. “At least I'm glad you realize at last, that Connor isn't, the sort of man for you to know-,” he said seriously. Pamela felt like tolling him that Mildred wasn't the sort for him to know, either, but she was too wise to say anthing to bring the other girl to his mind. "Oh. lin beginning to realize j right enough that I've got. to look ! after myself without any help from | the family. - ’ she said plaintively. "Harold doesn't approve of Con- | nor.” Stephen returned shortly. a a a PAMELA sighed and leaned over closer to him. "What j good is Harold?” she asked in accents of childish helplessness. Stephen said nothing, being unable to think of anything very complimentary to Harold. "If he were taking proper care of me he would have a talk with you.” Pamela went on surprisingly. “With me?" Stephen said blankly. "Os course,” Pamela cooed, and

Crystal waited, asking no questions. while Tony undressed. She knew now that Tony would tell her everything—in her own way. in her own way, in her own* good time. It was enough, now. to hear her moving about in the semi-darkness. Although the moonlight was dimmed by the ruffled dimity curtains. Crystal could have seen Tony if she had trted. But she kept her eyes closed. Tony did not want to be gazed at now, even in semi-darkness. Tony ran across the room to the bed. -Hold me tight. Crys! Oh!—you’re crying again—" “Because I'm—so glad.'* Crystal sobbed, her arms closing con-, vulsively about the slim body in its sheer silk pajamas. “And you were crying before I came because Id lied. I knew* you knew I was lying about Pat's calling me— Lies, lies! Ugh. how I hate lies. Crys! That's the reason I—cculdn't go on with it—" I knew you couldn't!*’ Crystal assured her with tremulous vehemence. •'Then you knew Tony Tarver better than she knew herself." Tony answered sombrely. I honestly thought I could. Crys. I thought about it all till my head was spinning *T*m a rotten thinker—haven’t had enough practice. Life has always seemed too simple to need a lot of high-powered thinking. And then I got my life so messed up that I had to think. “You see. I figured like this: I honestly don't want to be married to anybody. Can't bear the thought of being Mrs. Somebody. Want to be Tony Tarver, belong to myself. You know ” ‘ Yes.'* Crystal agreed, and held her more tightly, because she was trembling. “Well, you can imagine how I felt about being Mrs. Dick Talbot." Tony went on. “It seemed absurd to pay that big a price for a few bottlegged thrills. . . . Oh. more than a few! I'm not denying anything. . . But Dick had convinced me that I had to pay. or lose my own self-respect, as well as his. . . Not that his matters a whale of a lot! “If it did—but you know all this, Crys. There’s no use hashing it over. I thought the easiest way out was to go away with him—and —and get it over with. Pay up and tell him to shut up Os course I remembered a lot of rot Id read about ‘free souls’ and ‘free love,' and I knew I wouldn't be doing anything at all unique or even unusual. • . And when it was over. Ijd still be Tony Tarver, still be free, aS debts paid, but free. *

cuddled confidently against him. "He and want to know w hat your intentions are,” She paused until Stephen got the full meaning of her words, then hurried on, and there was no pretense of mirth in her voice. “I suppose that I shall have to ask you myself.” she said. "Well, you may consider that I have. Are you going to marry me or not? ’ Stephen laughed. ' Don't be a goose.” he told her. “What would we live on?” It was now Pamela who laughed. "You forget that I'm a golden goose.” she declared triumphantly. "Oh. no, I didn't,” Stephen replied earnestly. "Don't flatter yourself.” • Insufferable!’ Pamela exclaimed and sat up to face him. "You mean you won't have me on any terms?” Stephen reached out and pulled her closer. "Be quiet,” he ordered. "I haven't heard any wee small voice telling me that you're the only girl in the world. I've got to wait for that, you know.” "Brute." Pamela gave the back of the hand he had slipped about her waist a vicious pinch. "Ouch!” "Then keep your mooncalf remarks to yourself.” Pamela admonished him. "What have inner voices to do with it? Isn't it enough when I tell you that I've decided we are to be engaged?” “Are you serious?” Stephen asked, grown suddenly serious himself. As suddenly Pamela lifted her face to his and looked at , im wistfully. "Stevo. couldn’t you guess?” she said softly, almost pleadingly. The look of the conquered came into Stephen's eyes. Pamela slipped her head down and pressed her cheek to his arm, drew’ it up slowly until her chin rested on his shoulder. Then Stephen heard a queer lit tic sobbing catch in her rapid breathing. The pathetic touch confused his ■sense of values. Pamela in a tender mood? Pamela playing the kitten? The inherent comedy in the scene quite escaped Stepiien. He felt he had been to blame for letting this thing happen. "But Pain.” ho protested. "I w-ouldn't dare. Why, I haven't a thing in the world. I’ve just been building up . . att a PAMELA slipped ah arm around his neck and pressed he’ - cheek harder against his. "Please don't talk about material things,” she pleaded. "I'm so tired of people who have everything. That's not what matters. It's something you feel. Don’t you feel anything, Stevo, darling?” "I feel like a cad,” Stephen said honestly. "I’d no idea ...” "That doesn’t excuse you.” Pamela retorted, quick to take advantage of his weakening. Te wasn’t going to lose his head in a moon mist, she saw’ that, but if he felt apologetic he must feci a sense of guilt. With that to go on she had plenty. "Unless you're the sort who rushes a girl without meaning anything,” she went on. "which would not be an excuse, either. Only an explanation. Or course, if you are that kind . .

"Free. Crys! Funny world, isn’t it? Imagine any girl tying herself all up in lies and then calling herself free!” “Please, Tony!’’ Crystal begged, as the slim body in her arms kept jerking spasmodically. "You don’t have to tell me. if it hurts so much.’’ “I need to tell you—got to get it off my chest.” Tony sobbed. “I put it up to Dick fair and square this afternoon when we were driving to Darrow. Told him I didn’t love him enough to marry him, and never would: that if he wanted me. I'd go away with him for a night—to pay my debt—but that afterwards I'd never want to see him again. He laughed. Crys—said he'd take his chances on that—” “Oh, the cad!” Crystal gasped. “Why didn't he have the grace to call quits, knowing how you felt? If he were half decent—” "Don’t you see. Crys? I'm sure now that Dick knew’ me better than I knew myself. He counted on my not being able to go through with it tonight, knew' that when it. came to a showdown I'd marry him instead. But let me tell you all about it. in case you ever are tempted.” To Be Continued)

Prohibition Pro and Con The subject of Prohibition, its success or failu.e; its continuance or modification: its justice or injustice, is perhaps the most talked about subject of public interest and will continue to be so. It dominated the presidential campaign; it called forth the most interesting debate m the United States senate that has been held for years: President Hoover is appointing a commission to study the subject; and wherever two or three persons are gathered together anywhere, any time, it pops into the conversation. Our Washington bureau arranged a joint debate on prohibition between the Anti-Saloon League and the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, in which Dr Ernest H. Cherrington, director of the department of education, Anti-Saloon League of America, takes the affirmative and Henry H Curran, president of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, takes the negative. Papers prepared by these worthy antagonists were exchanged, and rebuttals and surrebuttals to the main argument prepared. Forty-two hundred words of absorbing argument pro and con are contained in the bulletin which resulted. Fill out the coupon below and send for it.

Stephen wondered vaguely w-hen he could have been said to have lushed Pamela. It seemed to him . . . he’d say . . . She was laughing at him, but having no sleeve to receive the sound, she kept it back of her pouting, half-parted red lips. She had him going, she told herself exultantly. He was half bewildered now. "Are you that kind?” she chalneged, bringing her head around until she looked full into his eyes. "No, of co rse I'm not,” Stephen denied, as vehemently as though he had been accused of some heinous offense. "Then what were you doing?” Pamela asked, her lips beginning to quiver threateningly. “Why . . . why . . . just . . . just . . .” "Just playing w’ith me?” Pamela put in before he could express his modern day thought that marriage was no longer taken for granted between two eligibles simply because they were fond of each other’s company. She was certain he must have some such thought in his brain that would get out if she gave it an opportunity. She had to- keep him fuddled. Suddenly she dropped down into his arms pnd began to cry. Pamela crying! The girl of orchids and sapphires. The girl of ermine and pearls. The girl of silks and sables. Crying in his arms like a heartbroken child. Stephen gulped. His arms tightened about her. She was soft and warm and fragrant. He felt as if he'd been given a glimpse of the private life of an unhappy princess, a princess that he’d never thought of as being altogether the same as other people. Possessing an honest-to-goodness heart, for instance. He pulled her up to him and bent his head over her. Then he drew a deep breath. Ordinarily Stephen hated perfume. But, was this exquisite scent periume at all? Or was it just the aroma of Pamela's mode of life? Just a natural part of her charm? Ho was tangled in the golden snare that Pamela had baited with tesrs. And when Pamela put up h: r lips and he kissed her he w r as lest. a tt a BACK in the Judson hotel, in a room that housed a raging wolfman. a picture that approximated that scene in the taxicab w’as everywhere. Wherever the man looked, the fever of his tortured jealousy conjured up a girl with honey hair in the arms of her sweetheart. For Huck Connor had taken Pamela's announcement as true. It would have surprised him as much to know that it wasn't so at the time she said it was as it surprised Stephen to find it an accomplished fact. He went at last to the telephone and picked .up the receiver, a light of hard purposes glinting in his narrowed black eyes. . ... "See if you can locate Mr. Harold Judson. please, and ask him to call my room,” lie told the switchboard operator when she answered his signal. “Mr. Connor speaking.” His voice w’as as cold as ice, but courteous, giving no hint of the blazing impatience that had come to_ him with his decision to see Pamela’s brother and force the boy into opposing her engagement to Stephen Armitage. Harold was found in the dining room, smoking over un untouched plate of hors d’oeuvre. When Huck’s message was delivered to him he gave only a slight outward sign of his reaction to it—his fingers curled over his lighted cigaret until he felt the bite of the flame, then he dropped it on a tray. Since Mildred had tried to pray his secret from him Harold had been practicing better facial control. His natural pallor—or rather the pallor that had belonged to him of late—helped him a great deal. It prevented people from noticing his sudden paling at sight of Huck Connor. His hands, that might have betrayed him by their trembling, he was learning to keep out of sight in his pocketsNow he thrust them under the table, hating the sight of their telltale weaknessHe wanted ti find courage to fight, to faco the music, to tell Huck Connor to go to the devil, but ... his soul seemed to whimper at the thought of actually doing it, He sat on at the table in silent rebellion, hating himself, hating Connor. Twice he lifted his hand to summon a waiter and send word to Huck that he wouldn’t come. Each time he dropped it in defeat. And at last he got up to go. (To Be Continued!

Questions and Answers

When was the Liberty bell cracked? Has its tolling ever been broadcast? The Liberty bell cracked on July 8. 1835—exactly fifty-nine years after it had pealed forth the glad tidings of independence—while tolling for the funeral procession of Chief Justice Marshall, who had died in Philadelphia two days before. The original "Old Liberty Bell” has never been broadcast by radio. Three bells have hung in Independence kali. First the original “Old

Liberty Bell,” which cracked and has ever since been silent; the second bell was removed to Germantown hall in 1877; the third now hangs in the belfry of Independence hall, and was the one broadcast. Where have the capitols of the United States been located? Congress moved from New York to Philadelphia, Dec. 6, 1790; and j stayed there until May 14, 1800.
