JOANNA “The Gracious Gift of God” By H. L. Yesterd: ) CHAPTER XXNIIIL i The Test. al When the dominoed figure at ber table Joanna looked up, curi- ously. When she recognized the un-| masked face she 3 ot Meved greeting she wonld hav any one close to her, who might vide intimate companionship through the rest of such an exciting adventure, trembled for an instant at her tongue. But something in Brandon's I numbed her lips She rose to her feet, hand up, her breast, with a faint recoil | The fear that she had never shaken off crashed down upon her in a tu- | mult—the unformed, unutterable fear that came to her when he first tou her fingers at the table from Eggleston {u the bank when she had written her first check against her mysterious money ou here!™ she didn’t know—have you “I have only arrived,” he said, his words suave, but irritatingly ironic “I am happy to find you—alone! Joanna knew, from his tone and his manner, that a climax perpended. A | climax of some sort: something asso- clated with the night, with her, with whatever Brandon had stood for in his relationship to her since that day in the bank. Out on the dance floor and at the tables near she saw men and women looking at them curiously; at her, the | Golden Girl whom every one recog- nized and for whom many eyebrows had been raised when she came in with the bedraggled troop that had been ushered back to the clubhouse by brigands, looking at her and Brandon, whom they also knew. Her chin went up a little, and she braced hersel wardly. “I am alone only by chance,” she =aid, coolly. I was here with Kenil- worth. He has been ' “I know,” he broke in. ome mountain bandits have taken charge of him and returned you here—so that every one may know that for your relaxations you choose a society and | a surrounding that are, to say the least, daring.” “That, of course, is what plea you to know. Why have you con feel that you are here—because me. “I am,” he said shortly. “I am here to tell you, at last, that the play is over. As you have put vour mask aside for the Test of the night, so your interesting little masquerade mu be dropped. You came up here, I imagine, to color an amour. Instead you are about to discover—what you're made ot She sank back into her chair. Her face blanched. Her brain ached with the knowledge of an animal that in sSome mysterious fashion it has been caught in a trap. Before he spoke egain she laughed, a short, un musical laugh, as if she were amused by the foolishness of her feeling, the utterly ridiculous about it. The laugh dled abruptly, and she watched the man who still stood look- ing down at her unemiling, ungracious, unconsiderate. “I have a great deal to say to you, Brandon declared. He paused a mo- ment, and then continued: “There is a room—a small supper room, just off the balcony. If you do not object, may we talk—in that room?" She got to her feet silently, and, when he had bowed his acknowledg- ment of her assent, walked with him 1o the circular stairway that led to the mezzanine. At the door of the private banquet room he stood aside that she might enter ahead of him. A walter met him at the door. ““We shall not be served,” Brandon said to the man, “but, as I shall leave the door open, perhaps vou will stand | near to discourage loitering on the balcony.' | Joanna faced him when he stepped across the threshold. Don’t spend your wits in skirmish- she challenged him. “What is ov Lcross breathed b been— He ignored her challenge for a mo ment, while he lighted a clgarctte, first offering her his platinum case. When e had evened his light to his satisfac. tion he went to the fireplace and dropped the burt match into it. For another moment he puffed calmly, Then he turned to face the girl, who leaned back against the table in the center of the roon “Would you mind,” he asked, softly, deliberately, “telling me what is your general impression of me? Not an analysis of my character, please, but an expression of the quality of your regard for me?” She replied without hesitation. “I have always distrusted you, but I have never becn convinced that I was fustl- fied. If I hadn't feared you I'd have liked you. As it is, I am afraid I de- spise you. at times, because I know You are dishonest—dishonest with me and with Yvonn you. Is that the ‘Not exactly, hut it will serve. Sup- pose I should ask you to become my wite? “You used to tell me that you might do that, some day.

Her slender white hand went to her throat again. She knew he was not talking idly. She had gone through one sort of battle with Kenil- wort! now, she sensed, she was at the beginning o nother, and, in somne unsuspected way, a more desperate ene. She waited for him to go on. He threw the cigarette into the fire- place and faced her across the table. “Be pleased to understand the im- port of what T am about to sav.” he breathed. “You have wondered where vour money came from: vou have wondered why it was given vou. Iam | about to solve for you at least a por- ‘ tlon of your mysteries. “T contr dacency whom you al 1 the source of your money | T guard its secrot and its reason and its purpose.

It is totaled up—by me. I give You now the resuits. I demand that You marry me. “I do not say that I love you, for T do not. “I do not say even that I respect you, for I despise you, as you have professed to despise me. I shudder be- fore all that you stand for, the abor- five pretenses of you, the sham of | you, the deceit and cheapness of you! | “Yet I am saying to you that I want you to be my wife.” Joanna had stood as if transfixed THer eyes widened. The brown deep- ened to black. The scarlet of her lips became ashen. Her hands were Tot with the scalding riot of her blood. 'rhmuh her brain rang the one hrase, “I am the one!” And in its mmumomflsenuw'. | am very GATES and bitter, that emerged from his lips like the crashing of cannon on a bat- Uletield, pierced her with the precision deadly fusillade. She collapsed a chair and threw her hands be- fore her cyes as if to shut out vis But Brandon, moving over to her, went on cruelly, relentlessly: Of vour enormous gift of money you have made a farce. You used it to enhance—not the world, not society, but the lure, the sense ap- peal, the woman of you. You have eated nothin, with your gift but ove, the kind of love that thrills but nothing of nobility. You have shown what the kind of girl you represent shall surely become it given rein. “But the farce is over, as 1 said downstairs The mystery of your money is dispelled—or you may count it as being dispelled. The other mys tery, which must exisi for a little while, is that despite the frailty of you, I want you to marry me. “And If you do not there will be no more money. All that vou have will be taken from you—even tonight! Whatever is o now ned by fr: 1 must be surrendered. You will be Miss Twenty-scven of the silkes & » / % /(1{1 have | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. worty, | KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES why, I may keep my money?” ‘“Just that!” he answered your money, and your love!” When she did not speak, at once, he went on with a merciless sneer: “The man you are thinking of will not hesitate, ‘I imagine, fo take full advantage of such an arrangement. He has shown himself to be amenable to any kind of conditions. While we are here tonight Le is kneeling before satin slippers that were never worn by your feet.

Perhaps I might add that by | giving me yourself—as my wife, mind | you—you will not only retain your | money, but you will solve the prob- | lem of retaining—him?"* She stared into his eyes for a long | time, then dropped into the chair. | “Would you mind,” she asked, * dering me something to drink? throat is parched.” Then she burled her head in her arms. Without a word Brandon went to the door and signaled the waiter, who had remained on the balcony in the vicinity of the door. The man hur- ried away. Brandon returned to the chair and stood by the side of the limp form of the girl. He touched | her body relentiessly. She put up her | {hand in_mute appeal ilent. He hesitated, |« shrug of his shoulders, went to the | fireplace. | When the waiter brought in the champagne, with glasses arranged on the tray, Brandon signed him to de- posit it on the table and waved him out of the room. Joanna stirred and M ‘Then he sank, noislessly, to the floor. again, if your old job is still open to you! “Are you, by any chance, still of the mind not to be my wife? The crumpled figure in the chalr straightened a little. It tried to rise, but sank down again. Its hands flut- tered a bit. The girl looked up at last “But I couldn’t marry you! It could never be. T don’t love you, I said. You wouldn't want me—swithout! You are playing with me.” “Not playing; very earnest, and al, and definite,” he assured her. As I said, that is the new mystery for you to be baffled by. As my wife vou' shall keep your money, more money will be given you, perhaps, and vou shall, of course, share mine.” Now she gathered strength to stand. She made a little move as if to go up [to him, but faltered. Her lips moved las it were praying for words— words that would save her money, save her dreams, save beauty and luxury and pearls and diamonds and pricele furs—save them and, at the same time, save herself. But what- ever her prayers, she heard no echoes of an answer. She turned to go out the door. Brandon, the torturing smile playing, now, about his lips, watched her silently, coolly, unmoved. At the door she hesitated, a ‘minute leaning against ment looking down into the ribald scene on the dance floor that blurred into a whirling black pool with mon- sters swimming on the surface. Suddenly the little body stiffened. A bit of the brown came back into the eyes. Something of the scarlet re- turned to the quivering lips. She swung around slowly and walked firm- ly back into the room until she stood so0 close to Brandon that her body was {almost against his. “I want to keep my money, Fran- cis,” she said, her voice quavering but soft and ineftably pleading;. “T conldn’'t do without it now. But I much in love with some one Very much in love, Franels. it's the kind of love you would never understand. I don't understand it myself or I mean, that I'm in love with. You'l he kind to me, won't you? Yowll tell me why the money was given me? Yowil tell me what I've done that's wrong, o that 1 shall not do it again? I'll be anything you say if T may have my money, the money that has made life so beautiful —with money and my love “Anything T say Before his sudden thrusting back at her those pleading words she shrank as if he had struck her. Dazed again, she heard him saying: “¥ou may e your love, my dear girl. I would not interfere with that. It's vou I want, for reasons and purposes of myv own: not your love. I know the one you mean; I know the man to whom vou've given the love that nmefther you nor he understands. Give it. Let Lim have it. Take his in return if you can win it. All of that shall be the bargain—a bargain of today! “The morals of today, you know, and the conventions are not what | they were in the yesterday. You are not the girl of yester nor your kind of love the sacrament that it used to be, “I am asking you to be my wife— only. To give me yourself only! You may give vour love where you want it to be received and take whatever pleases you in exchange. Surely you, who have played the game of lure, will not shrink before the flame your very essence kindles!” Deep colors came and went across her face. She closed her eyes, then opened them slowly, to quickly shut them. or a moment she seemed about to collapse again, but instantly she recovered herself. When she held her eyes open there was fire in And ou mean,” she said, “that T marry | vou but love some one else and invite him to love me?

(Continued in Tomorrow LINCOLN CANE GIFTS SYMBOLS OF AUTHORITY Pueblo Indian Governors Hand Down Presents as Emblems of Their Power. ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex., Decem- ber 17.—In 1863 President Lincoln gave silver mounted canes to each of 13 governors of pueblos among the Pueblo and Zuni Indians in New Mex- ico, on the occasion of their visit to Washington. Today these canes rep- resent the emblem of authority in the pueblos. They have been handed down from governor to governor. Lincoln’s memory, through _the canes, still stands as the symbol of au- thority—the recognition of the Great White Father for his redskin children of New Mexico. Accounts of the visit of the Pusblo governors to Washington indicate that the President intended the canes only as a personal gift. But the Indlan chieftains took them as confirmation of their authority to rule the pueblos. Thus they became scepters of power, and now they are known as *‘ceremo- nial canes” and are carried by the gov- ernors while performing important duties of office. A quarter of a century ago a cere- monial cane figured in a controversy between Pueblo Indians of Espanola, Mex., and an Indian service offi- clal that nearly led to serious trouble. The white offi:clal took away the cane from the pueblo's governor and gave it to the man whom he desired to elevate to the office. The wrath of the Indians was aroused and the Govern- ment mollified their grievance only by trying the official and giving him a suspended sentence. The governor of a pueblo is elected at certaln periods by the cacique or council of the elders. LIFE GUARDS MUST SWIM. Berlin to Pay No Longer Just for Decorations.

Municipal authorities investigating the drownings of two boys in one of the ‘outdoor swimming pools report that rescue of the lads was hampered by the fact that many of the life- guards could not swim. It is charged that dry land bathing frequently in- dulged in by women with stunning bathing costumes also has been prac- ticed by guards whose suits probably would not stand the water.
