A Sparkling Serial of City Life
Un chastened
Woman
. Novelized from the Play
By ANN LISLE
- "Did she lie when she said your nature couldn't stand poverty? That you couldn't work in this environment? That you had to court the rich to get your chance to rise? That I, with my principles and my work, stood in your way? Did she He about your character? Oh, no; she showed me the truth." , Lawrence, with the consciousness of what Krellin had forgiven Emily, stood staring at Hildegarde his sweet, gentle, loving Hildegarde, who would not forgive him, the so much less his offense had measured. But he did not know that to Hildegarde his tangible disloyalty to the highest ideals of marriage seemed as great as Emily's failure to be true to the best ideals of womanhood. He only realized that Hildegarde was slipping away from him and that he had
never needed her more. "Hildegarde, you frighten me! How can we live together if you believe such things?" The Blow Falls. "Do you think that I coula speak like this if I didn't realize that we can't live together? You can't live my way any more. You've got another call. I won't live your way. I try not to judge, but I can not approve of what you do." Hildegarde's tone was impersonal, judicial. It weighed in the balance, accepted and rejected, when all Lawrence longed for was the unintellectual warmth of mere loving. "But she lied she lied!" he cried. "I know she is neither big enough nor small enough to really give herself, but there's much more at stake than physical fidelity. She seduced you away from yourself from every ideal I built my faith in from everything that consecrated us." "But you're my wife, aren't you?" Lawrence's mind tried to force its way through the tangled maze of her reasoning. "You're not the man I married, and
this isn't the kind of a life together
that we contemplated.
There was an agonizing quality in the boy's voice. "But you love me,
don t you? ,
There are so many men who feel
that love once given must ever remain, that, however they wander afield and
follow new fancies, the fireside god
(iss who is installed in the home
must ever be there lovingly and gener cusiy awaiting their return.
'How far off that sounds!" said
lUldegarde drearily.
"What are you saying?" cried the
:oy.
"I can't help it Larrie; but the truth
we don't need or want each other
;v.y longer."
Refugee Prelates Who Tell U. S. Duty Towards Mexicans
Lawrence felt between them an impenetrable gray mist through which
he could not speak words that might reach her heart. His need was so crying, so urgent, and across the gap of the impenetrable fog he visioned Hildegarde dimly moving away from
him. He sent a cry across to her. "But I want you! I can't live with
out you. I'd give up everything I ever
hoped to get to have you happy as you
were: "We never used to think about happiness. It just came."' Hildegarde's eyes were fixed on that far away time that had been happy. But her voice held a numb acquiescence to pain. A boyish cry forced its way from
Lawrence's suffering: "I wish I'd never met her! It's all been futile!"
"No. It hasn't been. She taught us a
great deal."
"What's the good of that, if I've lost
you!"
But Hildegarde continued inexora
bly. Always in love, there is one who
feels the greater need. If that be the
man, and the woman on whom he
leans is gentle and kindly and a great idealist, she sacrifices everything for his happiness. But if the woman feels the greater need, the man must fall her unless he be at once both gentle and strong.
But Hildegarde now had grown cold.
Her ideals had failed her. There remained only work and that Lawrence could not share. In It he had neither sympathy nor ,any other part. And so
in answer to his cry of need for her, Hildegarde had now nothing to offer. If her own life had been based on lies,
there were still basic truths of justice and kindness for which to fight. So
she continued still judicial where em
otion, not intellect was being demand
ed of her. "And then I like to think the factory people are a little happier for our knowing Mr. Knolys." Reproachfully and helplessly Lawrence flung his accusation at her. Perhaps he had hurt her once but that was unconsciously; and now coldly and wilfully she was condemning him to unceasing pain. They Make It Up. "How cruel you are! What do I care about all these things? It's only, Hildegarde!" He went to her side and threw himself on his knees beside the chair where she sat firmly intrenched like some gray figure of doom. The salt of tears lent a tang to his voice. "You! You! You are all I want! If I lose you, what will become of me? I'll just lose myself! Don't you see that I belong to you? Don't you see that! Don't punish me any more." Shaken by hoarse sobs, he clutched
fng him away.' He caught his arms about her still more tightly. All his need of her, cried out and beat upon her consciousness. His weakness held her and her strength chained her too.
HildeKarde's ideals were -gone: but
she could not tear down- the fabric of
her life. She must go on building, care
fully and sanely because the founda
tions were so weak.
"And you won't leave me?" cried
Lawrence, beginning to be happy
again. '
Hildegarde strained mm to ner witn
a sudden tenderness. Life was so lone
ly unless there was some one to
whom one mattered supremely. And with all Its hurt and disappointment, life had still given her that Lawrence needed her. It held her helpless and it gave her hope. "How can I leave you? You're such a child," said Hildegarde Sanbury. The End. This country is the world's largest consumer of cocoa.

her as if she were the one really in all the world of doubts and fears. "You can't treat me like this! I can't stand it! I've been wrong; but don't punish me for what I couldn't help." Like a frightened child he sank his head upon her knees and called her with trembling pleading arms that begged since they could not demand. And
all the mother in Hildegarde impelled her to comfort him. "Larrie Larrie don't be absujd! Don't cry, Larrie you foolish, foolish boy!"
