SYNOPSIS Shortly after her mother’s death. Mary Kennedy, young and pretty itenographer decides to live her own life and avoid the poverty she has always known She rents a small room and then seeks a position. Mary meets Buck Landers, elderly sports promoter, who proposes to her She does not love Landers, but his wealth attracts her. Without waiting for Mary's decision, Landers presents her with a diamond ring. CHAPTER VIII. ARY presred the diamond ring back into his hand. “It’s an engagement ring and I can't take it. We're not engaged.” But again he took it and forced it back onto her finger. “Consider it what you like—it’s yours to keep in any case," he told her. “If you don’t like it, sell it— it’s worth more than a year's salary to you. Don't be silly. I want you to have it, and even if you never spoke to me again, it would be foolish not to keep it. It’s not my ring, it’s yours.” There was a moment of silence between them, while a wave of desperate feeling swept over Mary; the car glided smoothly around a curve in the drive and Landers glimpsed, as they passed a light, a gleam of her bright hair, a liquid beauty in her eyes She was so small, so symmetrical . . , "If I ever do marry you,” she said suddenly, a throb in her voice, "I’l| be everything, to you • wife should be—I'll give you everything. or I’ll give you nothing I'm not a swindler ” "Can I trust you to live up to that?" he demanded suddenly.
“Yes.”
“And there's no other man in your life?"
“No."
Again there was silence between them. Landers attempted no more embracing. Finally he spoke. “I know I can trust you and you won't double-cross me You’re dif ferent from any other girl I've known—you're shy. But I'm taking yon at your word that you won't double-cross me and I'm satisfied. We’re going to make everything develop fine and now I'm going to take you home and let you out.” "It’s all so confusing," she mur-
mured.
"Don’t worry — everything is fine." he assured her “But heaven help anyone who interferes be-
tween ua.” • « • •
Perhaps he was otherwise engaged. or it may have been he was too shrewd to over-press his case. Buck Larders, in any event, did not communicate with Mary the
■ext day.
She did not w-ear his ring, but kept it in her purse Always it was in her consciousness, as was Landers himself. When she was engaged in her office work he would intrude forcibly into her thoughts. Somehow a door of her imagination had been left open and he was constantly walking through it His presence in her mind finally began to irritate her sharply. Thcr** was a trace of fear in this, too; it was not well for her id#as and emotions to center about him so much—unless she intended marrying That, bowser, was a questiofi
that she kep^ dodging
There wasso much in favor of marriage—and so many mysteidous reasons against it. That night ehe Went over to Brooklyn and ate
dinner with her sister and the
family.
It was dull- deadly dull in the small, uncomfortable apartment, with the constant racket of the children, and the deadly monotony i f the husband's meaningless talk about the radio which obsessed him. Her father was glad to see her, but there was no novelty in that—he had been seeing her all his life. Presently, he gathered up the evening newspaper and sought
his own roow.
"When he wants to read he likes to be by himself,” her aister said. “I guess the children make too much clatter for him. But I'm so used to them I never hear their noise. I can work a cross-word puzzle clear through and never
know they're in the room.”
Mary knew that this family life, now that her mother was dead, could never be hers They did not know it as yet. but she realized decidedly that she had broken away. It dawned upon her crushingly that 'hey were satisfied with this—that the buoyancy of living was gone from them all forever and only the mechanism of it remained She could visit them or stay away as she pleased; they were urn nsciously indifferent to anything she did She did not need them nor d d they need her ^ Sunday she spent by herself in New N ork There was a tea room near her I 'Iging place and there »he had lunch and dinner; she went alone to a movie and returned to examine the clothing advertise-
ments in the newspaper.
She would have enough money ahead presently to buy new things and she studied the problem with
an absorbed feminine interest.
Alone now in her privacy she slipped the diamond ring on her finger and it gave her a delightful sensation of prosperity. It was worth, she judged, two or three thousand dollars—a fortune Yet she was lonesome in her small shabby room. It was all well enough to he a business girl and lead an independent life, but it
was no fun living it alone.
It would be nice to have a date —a thrilling date with some handsome young man—something to look forward to. Landers, In this connection, did not cross her mind. A girl needed fun. When she slept that night, however, the diamond
ring was still on her finger.
Just before the lunch hour the day following Landers came into the private office of the hotel where Mary was typing the morning dictation. They were alone; his tall form was carefully tailored. his yellow cane hooked over his arm and his gray felt hat ratner on the back of his head. The inevitable cigar with its visible blue fragrance was between his fingers; he smiled with an air of proprietor-
ship at Mary.
"Come on along with me up to the apartment." he said. "Got a little surprise for you—want you to meet
somebody."
“But I'm busy now," she protested. “Maybe after a while—" “Your boss won't squawk if I take you away from the office all day— he knows better," Landers said briskly “Besides it's almost lunch time anyway.” In the elevator he picked up her hand and noted the absence of the
diamond ring.
“Got it with you?" “It's right here In my purse. It’s so conspicuous to wear—” His hand dropped with a friendly. encouraging pressure on the smoothness of her shoulder.
“You’re a sensitive kid, aren’t you? Well, I want you to do me a little favor right now. Please put the ring on your finger and wear it for a while—just a? a personal favor to me. I’ve got a reason.” He spoke to her almost as though she were a child, compelling her with the magnetism of his personality. The ability to sway others was a pronounced quality in the success of Buck Landers. Mary slipped the ring onto her finger, “Nice girl.” he said approvingly. The living room of Landers’ apartment was alive with the bulk and talk of half a dozen men. Mary immediately recognized the somewhat bruised countenance of the fighter, Dick I/eeds, and th# narrow, dark face of Moe Levy. There were two or three others she did not recognize, well-fed men with smooth, pallid faces. On a table against the wall was a tray with glasses and bottle and cubes of ice in a glass pitcher. Two men, Moe Levy and a slender, clearfaced youth were standing; none of the others arose from their chairs at Mary’s entrance. One of the men asked Landers when he would be ready to start— a matter evidently of some previous discussion between them—and there arose immediately a babble of conversation that ignored Mary. Landers consulted his gold watch. Evidently they were all going somewhere. “All right, we’ll meet at Barney’s at two o’clock and start from there,” Landers said in a deciding voice that brought immediate agreement from all “And. by the way, you fellows, I want you to meet a friend of mine—Miss Ken-
nedy.”
Dick Leeds and his manager, of course, remembered her; introduced to her in turn were a Mr. Walsh, a Mr. Smith, and a Mr. Mendoza. The latter, observing the diamond ring on her left hand, permitted his mask-like face to slip into his conception of a smile. “I see by your diamond ring you’re going to make somebody happy pretty soon. Miss Kennedy," he remarked “Didn’t Buck say you were his friend Mary had a feeling that she was caught in a trap. Landers removed a cigar from his mouth, a blue fragrance of smoke hung around his face. "That’s right Mendoza," he stated. “Mary is engaged You fellows are going to get the surprise of your life, one of these days. Maybe it won’t be long now." Instantly arose a clamor of surprise. They slapped Landers on the back and emitted jovial howls of congratulations. He beamed and stood closer to Mary, his arm half around her shoulder “Well, it has happened to some of the best of us.” ne of the men “You sure surprise me. Buck," declared another. "Who's going to marry you. a preacher or a ref-
eree?”
“You’ll never know except by hearsay—we’re not going to have bums like you at the wedding," I.anders returned agreeably “You fellows better get moving now if you’re going to be at Barney’s by
two.’’
Their kidding kept up out iBt0 the corridor until Landers closed the door behind them “They’re some big shots Pm going with up to Boston this afternoon,” he told her “You won’t have te see much of them • fTe B# Conttaued) Cowiatt. rseiu/w Sr»4ic*;*. (^
