CHAPTER VI By sunset Rosemary had come to th* conclusion that Westwyn was deliberately avoiding her. Pete was either invisible or dumb. Zurita’s chatter nearly drove her mad. Angry with herself and with every one else, humiliated not only by what had happened but by her own responsibility for It. her mood was compounded of resentment and exasperation. Her first passionate gratitude to Westwyn had faded and she was Inclined to blame him for the white night she had spent and the awful fear of the dawn. It was dark when he came to the guest house and Rosemary was thank ful for the Inadequate light of the lamp “I’m most awfully* sorry." began Westwyn, “I wanted to get here la-fore, hut I’ve been snowed under with work and old Menebbhe took up a lot of my time." "It is very good of you to tjome at al!." returned the girl in a voice which emphslxed that there was no need for his visit. “I hope you’re all right. I ought to tune warms! you far more specifically against Martengo It was my fault. May I alt down?" He established himself <m the edge of the table, one spurred heel swinging. As he asked for no explanation. Rosemary gave him a complete one. “1 see p—ned rotter!” For the hundredth time. Westwyn wondered why women trusted «uch men. Had they no power of Judgment? Couldn’t they recognize a’ cad wh*n they saw one. Rosemary must have read his thoughts, for she answered them. “When one Is desperate. one clutches at straws —even If they’re muddy." “Yes. I get that. Do you mind if I smoke?" Systematically he rammed tobacco Into his pipe. “Ix>ok here. Ml** Crofton. Last night must have shown you that we're a bit beyond the pale here. I've got a proposal to make to you. It’ll strike you as mad. It is mud. but yog must Just consider It a straw, a solid one this time." He looked at her with a smile and the pressure on her heart relaxed under his commonplace kindliness. Rosemary noticed the firmness of his mouth. It was an awfully clean face, she decided, and was amused at her description because there was a smudge on his forehead. "That’s better." said Westwyn. “You’ve simply got to take things as you find them. I’m no good, you know, at beating around the bush, so I’d bet ter route to the point. I want you to marry me." “What?" gasped Rosemary. Os course, the man was mad. Sitting very upright on the couch, she regarded him with an amazement that wiped out all other feelings. “It Isn’t so bad as II sounds," continued Westwyn. Still looking at her with good-humored friendliness. “Only a temporary matter, but I can assure you no man. Arab, Riff or dago, will play tricks with my wife. I’m most awfully sorry, but. honest InJun, this marriage Is the only way. Abti-el Krim |s on his way here and he’s got a lot of wasters in his train. If the French push their advance I may t>e away for weeks. I can’t leave you unprotected in Telehdl. I say. Miss Crofton. couldn't you stick It out? This marriage Is only a form. It means abso-bally-lute security for you. Nothing else. You need never see me and It’s only for a few months. Then you can get tie thing annulled. I give you my word of honor It'll be alt right Nobody need ever know." . “You're mud." protested the girl. •We’re not living In a melodrama.** “Telehdl la the hub of one." returned Westwyn , imperturbably. ”You've no Idea of the plots and counterplots that go on up here. The Intrigue round Abd-el- KrUn would make lolly old Drury Ijine as flat as a Victorian pancake." Rosemary got up and went to the window She wanted air and space It was so Impassible to argue with this man. She felt exhausted before -the had begun to fight. His calmness was a brake on her emotion, and his appearance did not lend Itself to drama. “I know you mean to be kind." site flotced herself to say. “Os course, the whole thing la beyond me. When you talk of marriage 1 don’t know whether I’m in a nightmare or a lunatic taylum. Naturally, there are ten million arguments against it, but only vue that matters—l can’t and won’t." “I’m sorry you take It like that" “How did you expect me to take It? You're a complete stranger. I should »e absolutely In your power" "Would you rather be In Martenjo’s?" was on the tip of Weetwyn’s tongue, but he did not say It. “Oh. •ome marriage in 1926 Is not as deejerate as all that Besides I've told you It's the thinnest of make-believes. You caa break It as soon as the war’s taished. I’ll put It In writing If you ike!" and the humor of It struck him suddenly, so that he laughed, a young gay laugh which tilled the room. Rosemary's indignation got the beter of her. She flung at him the first words that came Into her head. “I wouldn't marry you to save myself tom a dmten Martengo’sT “Very -rwe-H. then. I must marry rou." YYTwdwyn rose. knocking his >lpr HUhunatically against the table. ‘l'm most awfully sorry. Miss Crofton -you don’t suppose I want you to do fata do your and that was the last straw. Rosemary crumpled up on the couch

Westwyn was horrified. “I’ve discovered a priest. He’ll be here tomorrow." he began, before he could ■scollect his thoughts. “No. no! I won’t do it! Anything but that! Pre told you. go!" came from among the piled bolsters. The girl seemed to have shrunk to child's stature, and Westwyn felt as If he had hit something small and helpless. It was a most unpleasant Idea. He shuffled frem one foot to another, torn between a desire to get out of the room at any cost and an inexplicable Impulse to pick up the crumpled figure. comfort It and wipe away Its tears. He made a grab at his handkerchief and took a step toward the couch. Rosemary’s hair was rumpled gold against an orange cushion Her whole figure was abandoned in pent-up desIteration. Westwyn looked down at a

Matinees Looked Upon as Wrong Innovation Matinees originated at Astley’s the- ■ ater. London, during the season ot i 1863. Then they really were as the name signifies, “morning perform auces” much tip the horror of old fashioned playgoers. The time was modified to aftetnoou but Thalia still was shocked. Critics assailed the innovation with a vim. John Oxeuford. stage reviewet j for the London Times, declared “that afti rnocm perforkuancee will lower the place to the standards of a penny gaff." but despite attacks the daylight performances prosperedi and in time became a recognized institution. Astley’s had been acquired in that year by Dion Boucieault. father ol the actor of the same name, after resigning the management of the Win ' ter garden in New York.
