PAGE TWO J)Y Beatrice Burton ® 1025 KEA Suddenly Gloria sniffed the air. . . . What was that queer smell?. . . \The meat! The chops were burn ing! She flew down to the kitchen. It was filled with smoke. The sput tering fat in the pan had caught on fire. It was blazing. “Here’s where the house goes up in smoke!” Gloria thought with ter ror. She lifted the red-hot pan from the stove in her bare hands. Then she ran out doors with it, and threw it down on the grass. It hissed fiercely as she turned a spray of water from the garden hose on it. Gloria was sc excited that she did not hear Dick drive into the yard. only when she turned to go back to the house that she saw him watching her from the driveway. “What have you been doing . . . having a bonfire?" he asked. Gloria burst into tears. She ran • over to the ear to show Dick how ’ she had burned her hands. “No,” she sobbed. "I just burned Up all the chops . . . and I’m al) blistered, too! . . . Oh oh, I meant to have such a good dinner, *, top, . . 'T didn’t expect to find vou here at all,” Dick said calmly. “You said you were going to leave me, last night, you know.” Gloria hung her head. “I know 1 did,” she said in a tone so low that Dick divined rather than heard her words, “but I changed my mind.” Dick studied her for a moment with half-lowered lids. Gloria thought she even detected a gleam of amusement in his eyes. “Weill, never mind about that,” I he said. Run upstairs and get your dinner. I’ll wait here for you Hurry.” Gloria put the fire out under the vegetables on the stove, and took th'e potato salad away. Sfie made a paste of baking soda and’water to smear on her burns. lit the old days Dick would have done it for her, without doubt. He would have been filled with distress find 'pity . . . and he would proba bly .have kissed the blistered hands. Now he didn’t seem to care. He wasj.utterly indifferent to her. And thetthought was all the harder to beafc because Gloria knew that she had.jbrought ali this on herself. . . Dick’s indifference and aloofness. She had helped to build the wall that rose between them, mountain high. . . . She put on a sage green sports hat and went out to the automo bile. “Darn shame about your hands,” Dick muttered as she got in beside him. Gloria said nothing. “Where do you want to go ,o eat?” he asked. Some demon in Gloria’s brain prompted her answer. “Let’s go .o the restaurant where you and Miss Briggs eat,” she said wickedly. “By the'way, how is Miss Briggs behav ingJierself these days?” “As usual . . . perfectly,” Dick said. ‘‘Hasn’t she told you she loves you yet?” Gloria raised her eye brows in feigned surprise. “I “I’ll Back Karnak To Limit” Says Searcy Railroad Engineer Declares This New Medicine Put Him In Better Health Than He Has Been For 20 Years. "When I start talking about what Karnak did for ipe 1 just can’t find words tosdo this amazing medicine justice,” ‘declared Flyod Searcy, prominent Locomotive Engineer, living at 16 Whitaker St., Atlanta. ‘frt’s a fact, I had almost given up hope of ever getting well and was so weak I could hardly last through my shift, but last week, 1 put" in 14 hours straight at the throttle and then felt good enough to go on through another run.

The report along Broadway was that Miss Mackay had gained special dispensation of the pope for mar riage to Berlin, a Jew. Following thi sreport it was published that Berlin’s plaintive “What’ll 1 Do?” song was written while he was sad dened by Miss Mackay’s absence in thought that would be the first thing she’d do!” Dick didn’t answer. But he drove the car down Jackson street to the little restaurant. It was a silent meal that they ate at the little corner table where the two of them and Susan Briggs had dined only a few days before. The waiter had set their coffee down before them before either spoke. “What’s become of your rings?” Dick broke the silence that had hung, like a smoke-screen between them. “Your wedding ring and your diamond?” Gloria felt herself redden. “I— sold them when I was in New York,” she faltered. “I had to have the money. Dick looked down at her hands, curiously, but said nothing. “I hated to do it,” Gloria went on, feeling that she ought, to say fl * Jjp Floyd Searcy —■ J bit.

Only a few weeks ago he was reported en gaged to Constance Talmadge, the screen star. Berlin started his career as Issy Baline, a Russian immigrant, act ing as a singing waiter at “Nigger Mike’s” and other places along the Bowery Then he began to compose airs although he couldn’t read music. “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” was his first big hit. Since then he has made millions. something. “But I didn’t have a dol lar to pay my hotel bill. I don’t suppose I’ll ever haveaanother dia mond like the one in my engage ment ring will I?” “Not from me,” Dick answered shortly. Gloria leaned across the table to ward him. Her eyes were soft and bl ight with unshed tears. And her voice trembled when she spoke. “What difference does it make that the rings pre gone . . . when the marriage ' they stood for is gone?” she asked. “You don’t love me any more.” Dick looked at the date line of Tr ""T Iced Tetley’s on a warm day is real enjoyment.

Americus, Georgia * THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER the paper he was reading. “This is the tenth of June,” he said. “Seven months ago today yon and I were married. We were pret ty good friends, then, weren’t we?” Gloria nodded. What was Dick driving at? “And tonight we haven’t a word tto say to each other,” he went on. “We’re miles apart. . . . We’re strangers.” In her mind Gloria furiously de bated that. She denied it . . . ridi culed it. She had plenty to say to Dick. . . .But she didn’t know how to say it. ' “No,” she began. “We know each other too well . . . that’s what’s the matter with us. You know about me and Stan Wayburn. And I know you’re in love with Miss Briggs. . . .” She waited for him to say that he was not in love with Susan Briggs. But he buried himself again in his newspaper. In silence they drank their coffee. In silence they drove home. And in a silence that shriked al most, they settled down in the living room to wait for bedtime to come. . . . Somewhere in the neighbor hood a radio set sent forth a slver soprano though the still night air. I “Somebody loves me. I wonder who . . .” Unable to sit there facing Dick while the song wefit on, Gloria got up and went out doors. In the back yar 1 the wind stirred the leaves of the poplar trees along the fence. Be hind them was a theatrical white m00n.., “Somebody loves me . . . I wish I knew . . . Maybe it’s you.” The song died away wistfully in the air. But it had confused her . . saddened her. Love! That was all there was that counted. When you had lost that, you might just as well be dead. . . . The whole world was Love’s foot stool. It was a background for love. Without it there need have been no heart-breaking music, no white moons, no beauty at all . . . any where. . . . Gloria did not look at Dick as she went into the house and up the stairs where her room waited for her . . . her lonely room.
