I don't see that, 1 never said I'd marry you. I never had any intention of marrying vou when I had plenty. Why should 1 change my mind now? “Because, We're both—" He broke off and gripped her arm as_though to hold her. “Cherry! Marry me! We'll get along somehow."” She shrugged her arm free of him, laughing nervously. “No, We'd be miserable. I hate to be .poor—" “But If youre going to be poor nyway— . “How do you know that I am?’ she shot at him. He stared at her, frowning. “What do you mean by that?" i “Oh, nothing.” “Do you mean—"" His voice sank to a note of anger. “You don’t mean that you're thinking of marrying that"—he gulped the words—-that damned, bandy-legged, bandy-swilling little swell—" “If you're speaking of Mr. Chiche {ter.” broke in Cherry coolly, “I'd mind you that he's a friend of mine. “Are you? Are you?’ he insisted. “Thinking of marrying—just for his money—a brute like that—a worn-out- “I dldn’t say that T was. You di “But that's what you mea: “How do you know It fs “Well. I'm_not going to let you marry him. Not while I got a pair of hands. 11l break him to bits first.” Cherry thrilled gently. This was the gort of vaunting that always de- lighted her. “How would that help if I married the bits afterward?’ “Say, Cherry, don't joke. I'm in dead earncst, Tell me the truth. Are you thinuking of marrying Chiches- ter?” “I'm not thinking of marrying any- body. But I might have to. I can't live on air. “Marry me, Cherry. Say you will,” he urged. His ardor provoked her somehow. She couldr’t resist the impression that he was taking advantage of the sit- uation to gain his own ends—not hers. She felt that if she gave him the least encouragement her individ- uality was in danger of b. in his egotism. That was it. He wanted her—not for herself—but for m. “No,” she said firmly., “We'd fight like cat and dog. We don't even get along now. It would be worse if we lived together.” She grinned at the .distant rooftops. “You'd be beatin me in less than a week; and I murder you in your sleep with a ron.” n.‘SlSly. Cherry!

You couldn’t even seil mine for me—right now. Could you?" “Um—I don't know. I might,” he muttered. They were not attune. But then, as Cherry reminded herself, they had seldom been of late. Subtly, they at- tracted, yet.more subtly even, they irritated, each other. For weeks now she had not seen Bruce Cowan nor telt the need of him, but with his appearance she had ‘felt the swift rush of old propensities, old anti- pathies, old discretions. He tempted her to the duel as old as the sexes which she fought with the rapier against his stone-headed bludgeon. Ho walked beside her in moody silence for a while, Cherry tri- umphant that she had eluded him so easily. She knew that he couldn’t sell her car for her at any kind of vrice that would be acceptable. But she meant still further to intimidate him. It was her duty. Having parried, she now thrust. here's no usc in your talking to me about marriage, Bruce,” she cut in cruelly, as he began again. “You couldn’t afford a girl like me. I'm expensive — luxurious. I've been brought up never to_think about the cost of anything. When I wanted something I just went out and got it. 1 couldn't go and live in a grubby little apartment on the north side of Nowhere. And 1 won't You'd want to turn me into a cook and house- maid for you. Why I can’t even boil an egg. And as for washing dishes— can you see me——?" She laughed unpleasantly. “And you out joyriding in Magnificents all’ day with your Maisies? 1 guess nof “Damn it, Cherry!" he said explo- i “You've no right to talk to e that .1'm not going to stand for it o “What are you going to do?” she lasked sweetly “No. If you meant it, you wouldn't dare to say it 5 She glanced around at him, but said nothyng. “Oh, what's the use?” he went on more _calmly. “You're just talking. But T know what you're thinking about. You think you owe your fam- ily more than you owe me.” This startied her a little, but she made no sign. And then in a moment she replied. “What I'm thinking about, Bruce, is that we haven't met for weeks| without quarreling. We always do. We're too much alike. What a hell it would be if we were chained to- gether.” He only laughed again.

Even if there had been any truth in what he said—and now there wasn't— not a particle of truth. “I wouldn't,” she replied. “T wouldn't marry you if you were the last man in_the world.” Bruce Cowan looked at her flaming profile for a long moment, and then laughed.
