(Continued From Page 1) the Implication of promises which she didn't even make. Even now. with Eleanor’s marriage scheduled for tomorrow, Tessie was adopting that proprietary manner toward Dean that she used whenever she met an attractive man. Not that she was doing anything really harmful. It was simply that Tessie seemed always to subordinate her marriage to something trivial. Eleanor wasn’t jealous. Dean adored her; of that there could te not even a doubt inspired by modesty. She was. she assured herself, appraising Tessie not as an individual, but a type. Marriage should be so important; the union of a man and a woman should be something more than the joining of them together by church and state. It should be a merging, an enveloping, an inextricable mingling of two identities so that they became one. Neither should ever give the other cause to blush in shame or even faint embarassment. “Tessie'll steal your young man,” chuckled Rannie. She made a properly inane reply and sat farther back in her chair. She shrugged faintly. What a lot of pity she’d wasted on Rannie! Evidently he didn’t think he had been cheated, defrauded; he rightfully considered himself a hugely successful business man who always knew what he wanted and got it. Perhaps men didn't want much from their wives. Perhaps this spiritual blending for which she craved was impossible to mortals And yet, for her, at least, nothing else could be endurable. tt n a SHE leaned forward slightly now, appraising Dean with the same cool detachment with which she had measured and weighed Tessie. Good-looking; no doubt of that; the widely spaced gray eyes; the determined brows; the unruly brown hair; the strong, prominent nose; the thin ascetic lips that could twist surprisingly in a whimsical grin; the firm chin; these above a tall, athletic body distinguished him in any gathering. Gentle, courageous, well-man-nered, thoughtful—he was all of these. And as to his brilliance of intellect there could be no question. A success at the bar, he had made a record for himself as assistant district attorney. He had resigned to accept the chair of international law at a. local university. He had taken this measure to remove himself from the turmoil of city politics. For he was inevitably the next gubernatorial candidate ot his party, and the party leaders wished to produce him suddenly from cloistered retirement. Shrewd men of affairs such as Rannie had told her that there was no doubt as to Dean’s nomination and election. He was on’y 32. In a few years, after a couple of terms at Albany, there would come a residence in Washington, where Dean would serve in the senate, and after that—who knew? She felt a tingling of elation. To take part in great affairs, to be the wife of a man who was rich—though that didn’t matter much; her father had been the Rannie Curwood of the last generation—who inevitably would be distinguished, and whose distinction would be of affairs, not mere trading, was a prospect that blinded her a hundred times before. a b BUT through the blindness came, as they had come as often as the blindness had overtaken her, letters of light which formed the warning. “But you don't love him.” Her father patted her hand. "Nervous, Eleanor?” She squeezed his fingers reassuringly. What a darling old daddy! Between him and her existed more than the bond of blood: there were spiritual ties along which, like the current along telegraph wires, ran intercommunication. He knew when she was distraught. And yet she always could lie to him, and because he loved her he would believe her and refuse credence to the unspoken truth. "Why. of course not,” she replied. He nodded toward Dean. "If I'd picked him myseli, I couldn't approve more highly.” As though he heard their whispers, Carey glanced past the nodding, smiling face of Tessie Curwood. Into his gray eyes came that light of love which seemed to melt his austere reserve, denying utterly

the thin asceticism of his lips. Hleanor smiled gently at him. She ried to bring to her glance a fervor o match his own. "Everything forgotten?” her father whispered. She gave to him a bland smile that would have deceived herself had she been able to see it. "Don’t be silly," she chided. Once again he patted her hand, the spoken lie having convinced him against the evidence of senses beyond the recognized five. She'shut her eyes. The rustle and bustle and nervous coughing of the expectant audience were unheard by her. Memory lifted her from the right-hand stage box of New York's newest theater and made a mock of time and space. Her lips burned from kissses that were only less eager than the kisses she gave in return. Young arms crushed her; she felt the tumultuous beating of a heart whose throbbing almost matched the crashing of her own. She heard whispers of love undying which were drowned by her own protestations. a a a IF he had only been worthy! If he had been able to match her sacrifice with an equal abnegation! But he hadn’t. He’d been afraid of her father’s rage and his own poverty. And the vows had been disclaimed and the embraces renounced, and wise young love had listened to the cautious advice of folly. And her blessed old daddy thought that she had forgotten Phil. Her fingers twisted a wispy bit of handkerchief until it was pencillike. Forgotten? She could never forget. Devil take the cynics who jeered at young love, who quoted Shakespeare, who seemed to think, as did the Curwoods, that love had nothing to do with the realities of life. Or perhaps she was unjust. Perhaps people like the Curwoods did not think this way. Perhaps love never entered their lives, and so they were satisfied with the quickdying flames of passion. Forgotten? When she went to Dean’s arms it would be the clasp of Phil that she would feel; when Dean’s lips pressed hers she would be kissing the mouth of Phil. What a rotter she was! And yet she had been partly honest. She had told Dean that she didn’t love h:'m as he had a right to expect that his wife would love him. She had confessed to him that once she had cared for a man and that she never could hope to care in the same way again. She opened her eyes and looked at Dean. The lights in the theater had been turned down now, the footlights had been switched on, end the curtain was rising. Nevertheless, she could see Dean’s cleancut profile, and a smile of pitying affection flickered on her lips. O tt a WHAT dear blunderers decent, fine men were so apt to be. Her daddy, who, for all his spiritual nearness, could not understand; Dean, who for all his professional and political sagacity, could repeat to her the old, old formula, “When you belong to me, I’ll make you love me.” No intuition warned dear Dean that the loveless bride nearly always remains the Icveless wife, that

the silver of affection such as she possessed for Dean never could be transmuted into the gold of love. Not that she wouldn't try; not that she hadn't tried. But all the effort in the world can not produce love. Not all the worthiness in the wortd can induce more than affectionate respect. Oh, she’d be a good sportswoman. She would pretend that this affection of hers had oecome passionate love. She would be tender and faithful, would bear him children would repay with all the currency she had the debt created by his love. But it would all be counterfit currency. Nevertheless, she would not fail to profess that the coin was minted truly. The honest coin of her love had been offered to one too weak to hold such heavy metal. Nowhere in the world would she find a man who would better fill the place of second choice to Phil than Dean. And perhaps—this was the impelling reason—marriage to Dean might ease the dreadful ache that she had endured for four years. Dean loved her so devotedly that his ardor might prove an ungent to her bruised heart. She couldn’t marry for love; she might as well marry for those other reasons which seem to inspire most matches. And, anyway, why thrash the matter out again in her harassed mind? Whether her motives were ignobly unjust to Dean, no longer mattered. She had yielded to two years of persistent courtship. The engagement had been announced; the marriage was set for tomorrow. a a a IT was too late to withdraw now. Up to a month ago the engagement might have been dissolved. But to permit any momentary hysteria to defer the ceremony now would be an irrecoverable blow to Dean. The press would gossip, the public would speculate, and the politicians would purse their lips. Dean's

political career—next to herself the i most precious thing in his life—might be ruined. A man who already had achieved much in public life could live down a scandal worse than being jilted at the altar, but such a thing might mar permanently a career just at its beginning. She shook her head impatiently. Why speculate on such absurdities? She was going to marry Dean in the morning; she was going to try to forget Phil; she was going to be a loyal wife. That was that. Now she would pay attention to the play. Zogbaum had opened his newest theater amid a blare of publicity such as had accompanied no previous opening in the history of the American theater. Persons of prominence had deferred their winter trips to the Riviera, to Egypt or to Florida so they might make the petty boast that they had seen the curtain rise upon Zogbaum's premiere. From the opening scene it was obvious that the producer had outdone his most lavish previous spectacle. The most magnificent scenic effects, the most tuneful music that a popular composer could summon from his facile brain, the merriest comedians and—above all—the most beautiful girls. New York had become calm of pulse to Zogbaum’s chorus girls. It expected much and was accustomed to receiving its expectations in brimming measure. But tonight even the most thrillhardened gasped at the array of beauty that Zogbaum spilled wastefully upon the stage.

sense is a two to fourteen-year sentence at the Indiana state prison. Grilled by Prosecutor Judson L. Stark and Paul Rhoadarmer, deputy prosecutor, the defendant had only one answer for every question asked. The answer was in almost ever instance, “No, Sir.” Several times the witness gave the answer before the prosecutor's question was completed. Admits Heavy Insurance Maxwell admitted he carried SB,OOO insurance on his home and possessions at the time of the fire. He also admitted his home burned in 1923. Testimony to circumstances attending the fire and the alleged plot by Maxwell to “fix” the house for burning, was heard by the jury Tuesday. Witnesses included city firemen, Frank Koehne, state chemist, and George A. Coogan, deputy state fire marshal. Several containers of kerosene and wicks were discovered at the Maxwell home the night of the fire. LAW FIRM IS DISSOLVED Solon J. Carter, Quits Partnership to Practice in New York.

been maoo by an ordinary farm tractor. Residents, hearing strange snorts at night and seeing strange tracks the next morning, feared one of the prehistoric monsters was cavorting in the vicinity of their homes. Captain Sullivan of the Blue Poir.t coast guard station found rum runners had been using a tractor to transport liquor across a strip of aandy beach that offered no traction for automobile tires.
