A MATTER OF PRIDE - The Ferrols stared at each other so constrainedly that the children, after their first glad outcry of recognition, looked bewildered at the lack of gladness in their father's face. "Why, Edith, what brings you here?" he asked in a low voice. Edith, robbed of her presence of mind for the time, could only echo his words. "John.what brings you here?" "I amNnegotiatlng for the moving picture rights of. one of our books," he said coldly. , . Mulry, the studio manager, called out genially: "Hello, do you folks know each other why. by gosh, this isn't your family, is it, Mr.. Ferrol?" "My wife and children," Ferrol Baid coldly. "We-e-ll!" said Mulry, heartily. "Then that clinches it. I hire your little son on the spot and your little girl! And Mrs. Ferrol, too! Did you say you wanted to get in the screen, too, Mrs.. Ferrol? Most mothers of kid actors want to work along with their kids. They appreciate the extra piece of change." John would not embarrass his wife before Mulry. Although he did not know exactly what had broilght Edith there with the children, there was little doubt in his mind. He saw that Mulry had been about to give Edith an interview. "I ll wait for you," he said to Edith. J'Why, you're perfectly welcome to listen in," Mulry invited"No, thank you. I'd rather . look about In the studio," Ferrol said, moving briskly away. Edith hardly heard what Mulry said to her. She thought he said something about taking the children into

thing about $5 a day for the kiddie every time he worked. It meant little to her. Only John, waiting outside, with a frown, on his face, mattered. "I'll give, you my answer .tamom she said lamely. v ' She joined her husband in the studio yard. Before they could say anything to each other, however, Mulry came up to them, dressed to go home. "I'll give you folks a lift in my machine," he said, hospitably. "Where do you live? Arcadia? Cinch! It's on the way home for me." During the next half hour while they were speeding toward their home In Mulry's cariEdith: got -jar chance to marshal her forces for the struggle with the situation when she and her husband would be at home alone.

strained at her task of keeping up an appearance of cheer. She succeeded, but only at such an expenditure of strength that when she had to face her real ordeal alone with her husband when they got home, she could only sink wearily into a chair without a word. John saw her mental and nervous unrest and a wave of pity surged through him. He was pacing the dark

sitting room they did not turn on the lights; and the children had crept alone to -their room, vaguely sensing "(something the matter." There was no need of preliminary explanation by either of the Ferrols. ' Ferrol turned to hia wife more gently than she had expected. "Edith," he said, "do you know what it means for a man of only average success to see his wife strain every nerve and fiber to make money herself; to see her even put his children to work making money? It means that the one woman on earth to whom he looks for a little pride in him, for a bit of confidence in him, says to him, "You're a failure! I've got to do the job you've failed at I and the children!" ' If he had" stormed at her, abused her, struck her even, Edith would not have felt so cut to the heart as at what be said; at the sincere humiliation liis voice expressed, whose hurt she sensed in every syllable and tone. : (To be continued.)
