Make him! I want him. I want him.” Oglethorpe put hfs arnfs about her, but his sympathies were equal ly divided, and lie understood men tar better than he did young girls. wouldn't want to, marry a mai who doesn't love-you,” he said soothingly. "Where’s yoar pride?” “Who cares a damn about pride? I want him and that’s all there is to it.” She whirled round again. “Do you think you're in love with that rejuvenated old dame who’s, grannyjs age if she’s a day? She’s hypnotized ycu, that’s what It isn’t natural. £ isn’t It isn’t” "I certainly shall marry Madame’ Zattjgny if she will have me.” “O-h-h.” Tears dried. She showed her teeth like a treed cat. Her eyes blazed again and she 1 would have precipitated herself upon him, but' her father h€ld her fast "Oh! Oh! Oh! It can’t be. It can’t be. It's as unnatural as it you married granny. It isn’t fair. How dare she come here with her whitewash and sneak young girls’ lovers away from them?” "Really, Janet.” "Oh, I know, you thought you didn’t care for me, but y&u always did, and I’d have got you fn time. I knew there was no chance for Marian and Anne; they’re old maids, and I’m young—young. If I’d cut out the ftfa and concen trated on you I’d have got you. I wish I had!* I wish I had! But you were such an old flat tire I thought you were safe.” “What in he;.ven's name ma’ * you think you're in love with t. exploded Clavering. "Your ion of me Is anything but < mentary, and I’m everything j chosen companions are not. You don’t want me any more than I you. You’ve simply been playing some fool game with your self ’’ “It's not! It’s not! It’s the real j thing. I’ve been in love with you , since I was six Ask dady, Dad ' dy, didn’t I always say I was go! to marry him?’’ “Yes. when you were l!‘”f pt a baby than you are - you imagine how as. all be of such an undlgni! ...u.orm- ance as this?" “I ashamed? N 1 much. 1 al ways intend to do just as I please and damn the consequences. "A fine wife you’d make for Lee or any other man.’’ - “I’d make him the best wife in the world. I’d do everything he told me. No, I wouldn't. Yes, Ij would." Sheer temaleness and the spirit of the age seesawed incony clusively. * “Anyhow, I’d make you happy, because I’d be happy my self," she added naively. “Much happier than your'grandmother-’’ , “Perhaps you will oblige me by ( making no further allusion to- Ma- : lama Zattiany." . ’ ' -No.j ww t And the dot lima I see her when there's a lot of people round I’ll tell her just what she js to her face.” "If you dare!” i Clavcring ad vanced threateningly and sita ■ swung herself her fgther, who, however, took her firmly by the arm And marched her to the door. \ “Enough of this,” he “You come home and pack your trunk and tomorrow we take the f, ' steamer out of New York. if there isn’t one, we’ll take the train. io.- "Canada ” “I- won’t go.” “It’s either'that Ar a for neurotics. I’ll'have ym/ rap ped down and carried, there ‘n an ambulance. You may take . or.r choice. Good night, Lee. forget it, if you can.” As Clayering slammed the door behind them ho envied men who coujd tear their hair-. He had wanted to spend a long evening alone thinking of Mary Zattiany. dreaming of those vital hours b;• fore him, and'he had been treated to a double nightmare. For the moment he hated everything In pettiqoats that walked, and he felt like. taking a steamer to the ends of tho earth himself. But hp was >. njore woru out than he knew and was sound asleep fifteen minutes Jater. \ XXX4V Janet had her revenge. Words have” a terrible power. And Jane's vocabulary might be as primitive as lightnjng, but'unlike lightning it never failed io strike. “That old Zattiany woman." "She's a thousand years old and nobody cares what she does.” “That rejuvenated old uaaie who’s granny’s age. if she’s a day." “Much happier than your ygrand mother.” The phrases flashed into his mind when lie' awoke and ech oed in his ears all day. No doutif similar phrases, less crude, but equally scorching, were ' being tossed from one end of New York Society to the other.' If Janet knew of hie devotion to Madame Zattiany others must, for it could only have e jomez to her on t’ao wings of gossip. He was being ridiculed by people who grasped nothing beyond the fact that the> woman was fifty-eight and the man thirty-four. Os epurse it wonld be but a nine days’ wonder and like all other social phenomena grow tec stale for comment, but meanwhile he should feel as if he were trying "'n a gridiron. Anne* Goodrich merely exclaim: “Abomina ’ Marian Lawrence would draw er nostrils and purr: “tee was ays an erratic and Impression a»le boy. Just like him to fall in love with an old woman. And she’s really a beautiful blonde— cnce more.

He avoided the office and wrote c. is column at home. Luckily a fa vorite old comedian had died re cently. He could fill up with remi niscence and anecdote. But it was soon done and he was back in his chair with his thoughts again. v it had been his intention when he awakened on Sunday after a few hours of u’nrefreshing sleep to dispatch his work as'quickly as possible, take a long walk, and then return to his rooms and keep the flours that must intervene un til Monday afternoon, sacred to Mary Zattiany. But It man wishes to regulate his life, and more par ticularly • his meditations, tC suit himself he would be wise to .retire to a mountain top. Civilized life is j a vast woof and the shuttle pur j sues its weaving and cpunter-weav ing with no regard for the plans of | men. (To Be Continued).
