ARCIA CANFIELD greeted her father in the library when he came down from his room to await dinner. She was sitting sidewise in a wing chair, reading; her praiseworthy legs, hanging over an arm of the chair, waved absently in time to some impatient and private rhythm. The butler carried in a tray, bearing two glasses. Mr. Canfield took one, but Marcia shook her head. “Just her daddy's old-fashioned girl,” said Mr. Canfield. Marcia smiled. “Dad, I asked to have dinner right away tonight. Will that suit you?” “Perfectly.” “Then you may serve when you sre ready, 'Awkins,” Marcia told the butler, who, correctly, was James to the family and Hopps in front of guests. 'Awkins withdrew, with the merest suggestion of reproach in the arch of one eyebrow. “Going out, are you?” asked Mr. Canfield. “It's tryout night for the Stagecraft Guild play,” said Marcia. “They have a simply swell show this time—‘Half-Acre in Eden.” I had a rotten part in the spring play, if vou remember. Maybe I'll have better luck this time. I'd jump at any one of a dozen parts.”

HILIP CANFIELD took the second cocktail, lighted a cigaret. “I wonder why you amateurs do it,” he said. “Granted that some of | you have talent and all of you work { hard, your product still falls far | short of a professional job. What the dickens is there in it? A i chance to show off? An escape for | thwarted ambitions? Or do you be- | lieve you are really acting when | you get up in front of your neighi bors—instead of only playing at | acting? Excuse any implied insults, | of course.” Marcia smiled. She knew that her father asked questions actually to get information; he was not tne kind of person who states a criticism in front of a question mark. (“Do you call that a hat?” “Where do you think you're going?”) “No offense at all, my dear parent,” she said. “Perhaps there's a bit of all those things among -a crowd of theatrical amateurs. But there are other things. Something of a desire for self-expression, perhaps — think how many amateurs write, or paint, or sing. Scmething of welcoming a chance to play in a game which one likes also to watch. You play billiards, for instance, when you could spend the time seeing professionals do it ever so much better. Something of purely entertainment value, just as in reading a book. You read a mystery story and become the detective; or a sea story and you're the skipper; or a romance and you're the hero.” A wrinkle had appeared between her father’s eyes, responding to a feeling half of amusement, half of serious interest. “You do take it earnestly, don’t you?” “Quite!” said Marcia. “I don’t think of myself as an actress, dar-
ling. But if I do my very best in a part I can feel at least that I've given a kit of entertainment to some people and have—well, entertained myself as well, I guess. OT if I'm not picked for a part in the play, but am given a job on the scenery or costuming, I can feel that, working as one of a team, I've created a piece of the whoie illusion, to the same purpose. Anyway, it’s good fun, and they're mostly a grand crowd of folks.” 'Awkins announced dinner. “I should think you'd bz busy enough already,” Mr. Canfield carelessly renewed conversation over the soup, “with your Village Welfare work, your bridge club, your story hours for the kids at the library, your heaven-knows-what-else. My word, when does the modern young woman have time for the men?” 2 2 s
ARCIA colored, and .immediately he realized that his aimless talk had led him to an unfortunate topic. “My dear, I'm sorry!” “It’s perfectly all right, Dad,” said Marcia, brightly enough. “I hope I haven't been sickening the -household all these weeks with an imitation of a heart-broken maiden. I'm not really, you know. Frank Kendrick was a disappointment to a lot of other people, as well as to me. It’s bad fun to be known as a jilted woman, of course, but I was really more hurt by the mess of the rest of his affairs. Anyway, you'd be surprised at the rebound possibilities in a woman of 22.” ' She hurried through the meal and came around the table to kiss a good-by. “Hope you won't be lonely, Dad. I'll not be late.” } A moment later, putting on coat and hat, she spoke to her mirror: “And how are your rebounds this

evening, my dear? Capable of being
demonstrated in front of all the villagers? Can you be the lady-un-afraid-of-gossip? Will you be serene while they say, ‘There's Marcia Canfield. A man jilted her’?” The mirror reflected an excellent copy of serenity. The rebounds were under control. ’ = n ”
WO . months before, Frank Kendrick had cast off the ties which maintained him comfortably in the life of Bobbs Neck. The son of an old family in the county, he had conducted an investment office in the village for two or three years. His business, and inheritance, was conservative; be bore an excellent name, and there was considerable wealth in the town. So that he had prospered. Then, suddenly and bafflingly—flight. The records in his office, privately examined, gave only meager clews to the dates and amounts of his embezzlements, nor had his friends been aware of any sudden need for funds above his adequate income. In his absence, all had been done that could be done to keep the affair quiet. There were no other Kendricks living now to care, but his friends conspired to hush all persons who had left money with him. It was fairly easy, for all "of the complainamts had been his friends. This much—or this little—was knowledge common only in Kendrick’s set. Upon his disappearance, rumors had, of course, spread outside that set. Kendrick was gone: something was fishy somewhere. But the only thing certain to the community at large was that he was no longer in Bobbs Neck. That, and the fact that Marcia Canfield ’s engagement to him had been announced two weeks before his disappearance. They had been kids together— motherless Marcia, and orphan Frank, who had lived with an uncle while growing up. Simply to have lost the best friend she had ever had would have been cruel enough, Marcia realized. He had always been “best friend.” But to experience the shock of his
‘stepping out of character, his per-
mitting the announcement of their cngagement to be made on the eve of a flight he must have foreseen, was more cruel. That he could so easily expose her to humiliation hurt her more than did the humiliation itself. Although they tried jealously to guard the secret of the embezzlements, Frank’s friends could not keep Bobbs Neck in general from relishing the two commonly known facts: Kendrick’s engagement to Marcia Canfield had been announced. Kendrick had thereupon, as a village gossip expressed it, “buttrned his coat and walked to the train.”
