Norma refuses Travers’ Invitations and her indifference spurs hls interest. 808 FARRELL, vounsr lawyer, asks Norma to marry him and she refuses, though she Is fond of him as a friend. Norma shares sn apartment with CHRISTINE SAUNDERS She fears Chris Is falling In love with her married employer. BRADLEY HART, proprietor Os and advertising agency. NATALIE PRICE, popular debutante. Is trvlng to win Travers as a husband, but her efforts fall when Norma at last allows the young man to take her to dinner. Bhe does not know he is the son of F. M. TRAVERS, real estate magnate. but. thinks him a clerk In the real estate office. Within a week Mark has launched a whirlwind courtshln. Norma finds herself deeply in love, but thinks she must send Mark a wav because of some secret of the past Chris declares If Norma loves Travers, all else Is unimportant. Norma Is alone In the anartment one evening when Mark's father arrives and demands she must end the affair with hls son. Mark overhears the conversation. Father and son auarrel and Travers declares he will disown Mark If he marries Norma. After hls lather has cone. Mark begs Norma to marrv him at once. Chris and Bradlev Hart accompany the couple to a little town In the next coue'.v where the marriage takes place. Mark takes hls bride to the palatial Hotel Marlboro. He discovers next, morning that h" his onlv sl3 in hls wallet. Mark departs, saving he will return 60on. CHAPTER THIRTEEN (Continued) She arose, went through the bedroom into the roseate, sun-lighted bath with its burnished nickel taps and fittings. She let cold water run and splashed her cheeks with it until they colored deeply. She brushed her hair and made the soft waves glisten. She saw the sltm-whlteness of herself in the door length mirror and admired it, grateful she could bring her beauty in tribute to Mark. There seemed little else that she had brought him. Norma did not dawdle as she powdered, rouged her lips and filipped into her clothing. She hurried because Mark might return at any moment. She must be ready to leave when he returned They couldn't remain in this extravagant place any longer. , a a a WHEN she had made herself as presentable as possible, the girl spent a rueful moment before the mirror. Her dress was the one she had worn the night before. It was a brown crepe of utmost simplicity, bought only three weeks before. Modish, well-fitting in spite of its cheapness—but brown. Brown was no color for a bride to wear! Her neat pumps were brown, too, and she had worn the brown beret in place of a hat. It had seemed appropriate for the drive to Woodbury, less appropriate this morning. Well, doubtless hundreds of other brides who had made impulsive marriages had known the same pangs over absence of wedding finery. From the sitting room window Norma could see the huge clock on a skyscraper two blocks away. Twenty minutes after 12 now. Mark has been gone nearly an hour. She tried peering down into the street to see if she could see him. That was ridiculous. The window was on the eighth floor and it was Impossible to look straight downward. Well, she could write the letter to Brooks. Welliver & Brooks, explaining why she was giving up her work. o b a IT was a difficult letter to write. Norma sat at the neatly appointed desk a long while before she put her pen down on the fresh paper. She began three separate pages and in rapid succession discarded them. It was fully forty-five minutes before the note was finished and then Norma studied it with dissatisfaction before finally the] sheet was folded and inserted in its envelope. She addressed it, but left the flap unsealed. She’would ask Mark what he thought of the note before mailing it. 5 Surely Mark should be there! Terror with clutching, vise-like fingers of ice gripped the girl's heart. A traffic accident—a single misstep—oh, if anything had happened—! Again she sought the window. Then for ten minutes Norma paced back and forth—back and forth. She could not sit still, but she must

stop this worrying. She must believe nothing terrible had happened. It was only a foolish nightmare. Mark would be there any moment now. She sat down again. A moment more and she was on her feet, as restless as before. The frightful premonition would not be downed. At 3 o'clock Norma still w'as waiting. She still was alone. What had become of Mark Travers? Could this be his father's work? CHAPTER FOURTEEN THE door flew open and Mark Travers, beaming, boomed a greeting from the threshold. In three skips and a leap Norma was in his arms. She was laughing, touching his cheeks with reassuring fingers, raising her lips for his kiss all in one instant. She was aware there was film before her eyes. "Oh, Mark! I’ve been such an idiot. I was afraid something had happened—!” "Happened? Well, I should think there has. I’ll tell the world something’s happened. What do you suppose I’ve been doing all this time? Listen, baby, we’re starting on a honeymoon in exactly two hours. Look—!” One of Mark’s hands dived into a pocket and came out with a dangling unfolding strips of green paper. Railway tickets. He tossed them toward Norma. A second dive and he was displaying more paper. Greenbacks. More of them than the girl had ever seen. They were folded into a huge roll. "What—? Why, where in the world—?” Norma floundered for the words. Before she could go on Mark had caught her arms and was whirling her into a crazy whirl-i-gig pirouette. "Don’t you hear me, Norma darling? Don’t you understand? We’re going places! Come on—we’ve got just two hpurs to make the train! Blue Springs, Mrs. Travers! How does that strike you? Blue Springs, where the sun shines and skies are almost as blue as your eyes. Riding and bathing and lots of golf. Oh, you’ll love it! Blue Springs is the grandest place to play in these here United States. You and me, Norma! Why—why, what’s the matter?” He could not understand the expression in the girl’s eyes. "What’s the matter?” Mark repeated. "Don’t you want to go to Blue Springs?” “Os course— only, Mark, do you think we should? I mean, do you think right now ?” "Right now? Say, when is it customary to go on a honeymoon? After the ceremony or fifteen years later? "If there’s some place you’d rather go than Blue Springs, I suppose I can change the tickets. I was sure you'd like it there!” “No, no! It isn't that,! I'd love jjfc, of course. I’d—l’d love any place with you.” B B B SHE could not endure to see the light of enthusiasm fade from his face. Norma went on, laughing. "Did you say we start in two hours? Oh, I’m glad I packed things before you came. We’ll have to hurry, won’t we?” Travers was not satisfied. He put a hand on her arm, studied her face searchingly. "Tell me why you don’t want to go to Blue Springs,” he said. "I do want to go, Mark! I guess —well, all the time I was here alone I was thinking we’d have to find some place to live that doesn't cost too much. "You—you aren’t going back to your father’s office, are you? I thought we’d have to save our money until you’d found another job— ’ "So that’s it!” Mark's laugh was a shout. "But we’re not poor, darling. We’ve got money—lots of it! Here! Take a look at this wad again. "There’s $1,445 in that fistful of filthy lucre. Enough for a fair sort of honeymoon, don’t you think? That’s the kind of a man your new husband is, Madam. "Walks out without a single pen-

ny in h s pockets and comes back with $1,445!” He had not answered the question about returning to his father’s employ, but Norma did not notice this. Her eyes were dazzlqfl by that tremendous roll of bank bills. "Oh, Mark, it’s such a lot! You wouldn’t spend all that Just on a trip!” "Would I? Lady, Mark Travers’ wives always get the best. Look — do you want to know how I got it?” She nodded, round-eyed. Mark grinned again. “Sold the car! Might have got more out o! it, but this had to be cash. That’s why I was gone longer than I expected to be.” "You sold your roadster?” Mark nodded. "Quickest way I could think of to get car fare and a Uttle extra. We could have driven to Blue SDrings, but how’d we pay this hotel bill? "Eureka —enter Mark Travers, the financier! Now tell me, don’t you think you’ve married a bright boy?” "Os course I do! Oh, of course I do!” BUB SHE knew it must have cost him deeply to part with the roadster, pride of his heart. And he had done this for her! Norma's economic principles, result of grim experience in stretching one week’s pay check to meet the next, went glimmering. Here was proof of the love that meant more to her than anything else in life. They began to make hasty preparations for the trip. Ten minutes of the two hours which Mark had allowed them was gone. The little brown over-night bag which Norma had brought with her the evening before—all the luggage they possessed—stood waiting. Mark held the polo coat and the girl flung her arms into it. "Look here!” he anonunced suddenly, "there’s a shop where my sister used to buy things. You can get clothes at Blue Springs, but you ought to take something more along.” (He knew she had only the one brown dress.) "We’ll check out, climb into a taxi and dash around to that place— Fanchon’s, I believe it’s called. You can buy a dress in half an hour, can't you?” "I can if you’ll help me!” It was all delightful, impossible and exciting fun. They went down into the handsome hotel lobby. Norma was self-conscious, imagined the eyes of every one about were on her. And why not, when such a handsome, distinguished youth as Mark Travel's was by her side? Her cheeks flushed. • B B u THEY stepped into a taxicab and were whisked away into traffic. Here on either side of the street were familiar ’buildings and yet everything looked different. Mark’s hand pressed the girl’s. He stole a quick kiss and made her blush more deeply. "Happy, kid?” She assured him to his complete satisfaction that she was. Another ten minutes and they had arrived before the impressive white stone front of “Fanchon’s.” Twin show windows exhibited each a single frock. Even the name, "Fanchon,” on the inconspicuous metal tablet hinted at exclusiveness and expense. (To Be Continued.)

There is a certain number, of more than one digit, which is alike from either end; that is, if it is reversed it is still the same. If this number is multiplied by it* self the total is reversible. If the new number is multiplied by the original nura* • ber, a third number will be obtained * ' which is also reversible. Again, if the ; third number is multiplied by the original ’ number, a fourth reversible number will ‘ result Can you discover the number?

Very tired and with no wish to argue, Blake smiled wanly at the Princess. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but you'll have to keep the horse moving until he cools off. I'm too fagged to do it.” In wide-eyed astonishment. Guinalda gazed at him. “Ye—ye mean,” she stammered, “that I should lead the beast? I. a Princess!” “I guess you'll have to,” replied Blake. Guinalda flushed with anger as,she cried: “Have to? Durst thou command me^nave?**

“Snap out of it, girl!” advised Jimmy curtly. "Your safety and mine depend on that horse.” Tears of hate welled in Guinalda's eyes. A half hour she led the animal to and fro as Blake watched out across the plain for the first sign of pursuit. But there was none. For tlje knights of Nimmr had overtaken Bohun’s knights and their running fight was taking them farther and farther from the wood. V

No word passed between the two until Blake arose and turned toward her, saying: “Thanks. That’s enough.” With dry leaves he rubbed the horse down, then came and sat beside the girl. “She is beautiful!” thought Blake, “but selfish, arrogant and cruel.” He noticed that her eyes were never still. Often they glanced into the depths of the forest, and once she started, turning suddenly to gaze intently up- °* *"• Winches.

“When it is dark, we can ride back to Nimmr in safety,” said Blake. The Princess leaned toward him, a look of terror in her eyes. “Remain here until dark!” she whispered. “Knowest thou not where we are?” “What's wrong with this place?” demanded the man. “It is the Wood of the Leopards!” answered Guinalda, in an awed tone, “Yes?” questioned Blake casually. “Nice najlpe. How did it get it?”
