Interest also centered in Dr. Butler's admission that “certain party defeat in November, 1932,” had been foreseen by a group of “the ablest and most disinterested men in the Republican Party drawn from several different States” at a conference more than a year ago, but that these leaders had realized “that nothing could be done to avert it and nothing to improve the party’s future position until that to G BUY LOCAL SECURITIES.

SYNOPSIS: Clive and Santa are married and on their way from Chicago back to New Ycrk. Clive sacrificing his bus- incze, has cpent the last two weeks with Santa, steadying her purpose to rid herself of the rotter Dick by divorce. Tt is Clive whom Santa had threwn over to marry Dicky; It is alsg Clive whom she al- ways hage loved. Dicky’s world- ly charms have proved too | worldly, even for the flirta- | tious Santa; she is determined that saner values shall rule her cecond marriage. CHAPTER 17. MARRIED AGAIN Clive glanced at the closed door of their compartment, anta’s hat-box and suitcase, |beled Mrs. Clive Doncaster. San- lowed his glance. She had been secretly amused and touched by him all day, but hadn't dared to show it. ‘What a puzzled, eager boy he was beneath the surface. Such a relief from Dicky. She |was going to be young again. | “Its true, Clive,” she nodded. “I Ireally belong to you.” “I'm kind of stunned” he smiled. |“It takes a bit of getting used to.” “For me, too.” She was wonder- ing whether she might powder her nose. “It won't tomorrow.” He seized her slender wrist. ‘Of course it won't. Everything past will be forgotten.” “As though this were the first time I had been married.” She! ‘xead his thoughts. He shifted to her side and slipped |an arm about her. She waited pulseless as a doll. “I'm the only husband you ever |had,” he burst out. “Say so.” She took his face between her hands. “I can never thank God enough for having given you to me.” That satisfied him for the mo- He twisted the ‘weddlng-§ iring on her finger—the one he had | bestowed on ‘her. ‘ His mind was in a ferment. So | many thoughts—so few of them |to utter. Scarcely more than a | |a sleeping compartment with her, —|he could have been dragged into | her divorce.

Evidently he feared that |theé legality of their relationship might be doubted. She'd exper- ienced the same pangs on her first honeymoon. When they were alone again, Clive rescated himself beside her. “You're awfully quiet,” she chal- lenged. “T feel laughed. ‘I shall love living with you in New York,” she. snuggled. Till now Dicky had afforded al- most the sole topic of their con- versations. Would he bring coun- tercharges at the last moment? Then, after her release from him, would he cease to annoy her? Things had moved too fast. Clive had judged rightly that after her ordeal, Santa wouldn't be safe to conduct her own affairs. When he'd surprised her that morning two weeks ago, she had cultivated ————————————————————|the complex that all her friends such. an amateur,” he | | would ever want to be seen with ‘The best cure had seemed to be time to a recognized niche in so- ciety. He had urged immediate remarriage. She’d permitted her- self to be persuaded on the condi- tion that they involved nobody in their rashness save themselves. Hence there had been no guests, no wedding presents. Not even her parents had 'been notified. Their plans for the future had yet to be formulated. The first minister they had ap- pmached. on learning that Santa was & divorcee, had refused to of- ficiate. The second had invited them into his parlor—this was a few hours ago—and united them as perfunctorily as if he'd been issuing a dog-license. Now that his goal had been at- tained and they were ‘man and wife, had come the reaction.

I adore it.” In their marriage was everything to b2 again for her? He had ap- iproached this day with so much |of reverence, which nothing exter- nal had reflected. At the back of his mind was the account he had iread of the social importance which had been attached to her first nuptials. Santa routed his reflections. “A penny for your thoughts, old boy. We might as well be hon- lest.” “I should hope so,” he humored | her. She squeezed his arm. “Then stop thinking | Dicky.” His restraint melted. “I hate the sound of his name. I can't bear to hear you mention about ta, seated opposite to him, had fol- him. But he keeps bobbing up like 'a jack-in-the-box.” “He won't presently.” She pet- ted him. “Take him out, of your system. How does he bob up?” “As though he were taking his revenge. As though he were de- termined to spoil—" “He can't.” She slipped a cool hand over his mouth. Kissed each separate fin- ger. “But Santa, dear, he has so far. We've been married like outcasts, ,as though we had no right to be {married. That first minister who refused to perform the ceremony, |treated us as if we'd asked him to bless a liason.” “He was a back-number,” she soothed him. “You wanted me. I wanted you. We want each other more than anything in the world." \Here we are, with our wish grant- 'ed. Does anything else matter?” “Not really.” “I can't tell you, Clive,” she cooed, “how I've longed for you. During all the time that I was |married to Dicky. Wicked of me, Wicked of me, wasn't it? I would imagine he was you. .eyes and imagine.” Glancing down, all he could see was her dark head against his shoulder. Fields rushing by, grew vague in twilight. “So you see, Clive, if it makes you feel better, even when I seem- ed to be Dicky’s I was yours.” “MaKes me feel glorious,” whispered. “And yet things that oughtn't to |matter often matter terribly,” she continued. “Dicky had had heaps of wrong friends. Somehing he let out on the honeymoon warned me. I at once became afraid of what you're fearing now. But you're not an old story, Clive. - You're excitingly new. Always will be. I swear jt!” He gathered her w him. “That’s all right, little woman.” “It isn't all right.” She twisted. “I've got to make you certain. You're the gainer by my first mar- riage.” “Draw it mild.” He was thank- ful the compartment was nearly dark so that she couldnt see his expression. “I mean it. T've learned the mistakes to be avoided. I'm trained 10 be a wife. I wasn’t when you first asked me.” A flock of retorts winged across his mind. “But I'm not trained to be a husband, Santa.” “Everything’s happened for the best,” she urged; “in the only best \way it could have happened. All the faults weren't on Dicky’s side. {I was unyielding. T'm not any longer. You have Dicky to thank.” “You'll never catch me thanking him.” “Then you will at least acknow- ledge that without intending to, he taught me to realize your val- ue?” “If that's the case, T wish youwd i \ he , |found some other way to learn my value.” She laughed, her lips all but touching his. Her laughter was startling, bubbling from the dark- ness without warning. “I'm so free—so happy. The hap- piness has gone to my head. I ‘was in prison. Despairing. Then a key turning and you.” He was conscience-stricken, “Poor angel.!” “I'm not poor.” She clasped him stranglingly. ‘“We're both rich.” Later across the table in the dining-car, she beamed at him.
