CHAPTER I OPENING THE CAGE DOORS "But it's such a farce, somehow; such a ' "We have been married two years and It is a farce for you to kiss me good-bye." Dick Brabant spoke slowly, with a deliberation that made his wife wince. "Seems rather queer, doesn't it?" "Oh, I know it does, Dick. I don't iiiow wVi happenr.-l, only when you Vut yvij fr-ind uodir rn? chin Jut then and lilted my face to yours, I

realized . how little that kiss meant to me. It was just a mechanical thins.

5T that had to hapKj Pen ,hat "was all.

And I don t want euch kisses!" They faced each other in silence for a brief moment then: the

lnc Kiomph girit slim, exquisite, from her honey colored hair to her trim little feet, and the man, big, dark, his eyes somber, his mouth set. Then, as he stepped toward her, she threw out her hands in a gesture of protest, the amber circlets on her wrists throwing out little flashes of golden light. "Don't worry I'm not going to force you to kiss me," he told her rurtly. "Sally, do you know what's the matter with you with this marriage of ours?" "Yes I'm bored to death!" she answered, and drew a long breath, as Ti amazed at her own daring. Then, as he did not speak, she hurried on. "I'm married and settled down at 22 and there's no fun left in life!" "But if you were a widow at 22 there'd be fun enough," he suggested, with a rueful smile, as he seated himself on the edge of a table and studied her thought his cigarette smoke. She was very beautiful, this wife of his, with her deep blue eyes, and her light hair, that fell about her forehead in soft tendrils. He loved every 'bit of her the slender, delicately rounded body, the wistful little mouth, the contralto voice, with its attractive hint of throatiness. He loved the picture she made as she stood there again the dull blue brocade that curtained the windows her bronze frock.

trie sable scarf that lay about her shoulders, the diamond tassel that: hung from her neck on a narrow rib-! bon; every detail was faultless. I

Dick Brabant clenched his hands. He could hardly restrain the longing to catch her to him and kiss her passionately, brutally, to rumple the heavy gold of her hair, and force a response from her. A vivid picture of the early days of their marriage came to him; of the way her hands had fluttered over his face and then met behind his head in a swift embrace, of the way she had clung to him then.

and pressed her cheek against his, and! gloried in his kisses instead of being bored by them! And he turned away from her abruptly and began to tramp ! up and down the long room, from thej

great fireplace to the .windows that overlooked the Hudson, and then back again. - - - "Yes, you're bored," be agreed at last. "And it's no wonder that you are. You haven't the capacity to be anything else that's where the trou

ble lies. It's my fault, too: I shouldn't!

have married you as I did, when you knew so little of life a girl just out of boarding school, with your debut not two months behind you. "Since our marriage you've done about what you did before you've gone to luncheons and bridge parties, played around with the same people and said the same things. No wonder you're bored!" "I'm not to blame!" she protested bitterly. "And I have done other things! I've worked for the Red Cross, and served on the Charities Board I simply slaved over the Or

phans' Ball last winter. If there was anything I could do " "There is something you can do,"

"Dick studied her through his cigarette smoke." he cut in, facing her again. "I'm going to give you a year's leave of absence. Tomorrow I'll leave for Chicago on business. You won't see ma again for 'a year. You can always find out from my office whether I'm in town or not, and just where to reach me if you need me. But you are going to have a twelve months' vacation. "I make only one condition. You are to live differently than you have to see people and do things new to you. You can flirt if you want to can forget that you're married! I want you to get an education in living." "And if I don't want to come back at the end of the year?" she asked, hesitatingly. He turned from her until he could control the bleakness of his face. "You needn't come, in that case," he answered. "And if I should change

well, I'd be free too." He laughed at that thought; the book of the future was closed so tight to him! Tomorrow A Marriage of Inconvenience. (Copyright. 1922, by The Wheeler Newspaper Syndicate).

The Middle Ground By MARION RUBINCAM

LUTHER'S GUESS. She danced with the young giant that time, and listened silently to the compliments he paid her. Usually in these mixed dances and in these socalled unconventional restaurants, the proprieties were most rigidly observed. Two strangers came together at a dance, were silent, waiting for the whistle that was ' to separate them again or at the most murmured something about the weather, the music, and thanked each other politely at the end. The young giant, however, knew Claire from having seen her act; he adored celebrities and wanted to saycasually next day at the office "Oh yes, I was out with Claire, tho 'Snowball Girl' last night. While we were dancing together she said " But Claire said nothing, so he had to use his inventive powers next day. He took her to the table, bowed and left and Luther came back again. "I'm tired, let's go home, dear," Clair said suddenly, in her most domestic tone of voice. "But you've only come! Dearie, ycu never go home before two. If bein married again is going to spoil you as a good sport " Maisie was trying to be cordial, witty, protesting and polite all at once, and was not makins a success at it "I have to see Belfield early tomor

row. He wants me to take the stan part when the show goes on the road, Claire gave as her excuse. Luther glanced at her quickly. Maisie was all curiosity and held her back. "But dearie, isn't that grand? Your name in electric lights and everything. Dearie, you do that and he will star you on Broadway next season see If he won't. "But poor Loo will you leave him so soon! Still you can always have another honeymoon when the show ends" Claire wanted to get out a fast as she could. She pulled her cloak around her, said goodnight and went out, not caring now whether she was the center of attention or not. In the taxi, she slid her liand into Luther's. His fingers were limp, tf-.cy a' not W-.b "were. "Loo, dear, I'm glad that's over," ch whispered. " didn't stay long, it's not one yet." "Loo, why don't you say something? Didn't you want a party to celebrate celebrate making up?" Her face was near his, Luther sat quietly back in the cab. "Are you sure you made a sufficient impression on Clarke?" he asked coldly. Actress that she was, Claire could not help startng. , Of course he had overheard every word that Maisie said of course he had danced behind them when she ran to Jim on the floor! "What do you mean?" "Why did you lie so to that girl Maisie?" "But Luther!" her voice was beautifully pleading. "I couldn't help going tonight when she asked me and of course they were astonished as seeing us together and of course there will be a lot of talk. And I didn't want gossip so I thought if I pretended we had been living together a long time well, don't you see, it would be an old story and they wouldn't gossip!" She ended triumphant, having thor

oughly convinced "herself. "And Clarke?" . The taxi stopped at her apartment house. Luther paused at the door, hand out in goodbye. "Don't go away cross," Claire begged. He said he would come back the following day. "Come up and have a cigarette," Clair pleaded. "Oh, come, it's all right, it's your apartment anyway, and tho elevator boy has gone for the night." In her own living room she was sure of herself. She threw off her cloak, and walked toward Luther. Luther had turned his back, and was opening the silver cigarette box. H13 hands were not quite steady which was why he turned away from her. Claire went up and putting her

"Please don't go away," she begged, in terror of losing him. "Please don't go stay here please." Luther bent over her and their lips met in a long, frank kiss, Claire had ceased pretending.
