THE EVENING By KATHLEEN NORRIS %‘ o 173, Mk A M A B INSTALLMENT XXVIIL | O we were married and Van | € went on, on the next ship, and nobody knew,” Ariel continued “Dick had to go to Las Vegas | for months; but he sent me | money every month and if he wes in go town he'd come to see me and take me | to a movie or something. And I got | work to do. You don't have much | chance in the movies. but I got a start— Ariel Adair they calleld me—only I| didn't like it much. So I got small parts with a stock company. We played Hel- | Iywood and Venice and Giendale and Pasadena—that was kind of fun. ““And then last year when Murchison's Mills failed Van came to Los Angeles again, settling things. and he came to see me. He told me he had never look- ed at an-ther girl and he wanted to have me go back East with him. But then it was my time to say no." But yeu haven't_told me, darling.” Gail interrupted. “What happened to you. Were you ill?” “Oh, yes—or not so terribly ill. They gaid it never would have been a healthy baby.” Ariel said. “They said it was lucky it died.” erhood. The magic word, the estate of which Gail had dream- he was silent from sheer shock, to speak. “All that made me feel T never want- ed to see Van Murchison again. But he was having his hard times, too. Eve thing was crashing, and he was work inz hard in the New Jersey plant to save what he could. He's there now. When he came cut last year we had lots of long talks, and in a way he did what he could. He said he knew he had be- | haved terribly, but that he was a gpoiled kid-—" She was not very angry at him even now. Gail saw, with a sort of stupefac- | tion, that what the great Murchisons did was still sacred, still above criti- cism, to Ariel S Finally we arranged it that if, he went back and g-t a good start With these people who have bought the mills.” she resumed, “then I'd come on and we'd announce our marriage. And that's what has happened.” “You're on your way East now?" “He meets me in Chicago next week." A pause. Then Gail said: “You still Jove him. Ariel?” I don't love the idea of living in New Jersey,” Ariel said after a brief paiis> But you're not unhappy?" “Oh, no——" Ariel drawled. “But mind vou, I was as much to blame as he!" she added with sudden force. Gail mused on the whole story, her eves on her sister's face: tumult in her heart and the drum-drum-drum of the alling softly on the porch roof. Ariel was looking about the cld kitch- ‘I can stay here, Gail, in spite of er tribe?"” of course! And they're not Gail_answered, laughing y h of hurt and reproach. “Just Lily and the boys. And loock—this 1s the baby. This is Gail.” “They named her Gail!" “Lily’ would have it." “You might know she'd take your name. G I suppose she's more a han us Lawrences!" 1 could make no reply. changed, and 1 miss Edith!” Ariel burst out suddenly, laying her head en her locked hands and be- ginnng to cry. Gail came over to her and bent down to crook an arm about Ariel's bowed head. Her own eyes were brimming After~ard they went upstairs to talk, desultorily. inconsequentially, of any- thing and everything. When a wall frem the kitchen took Gail down there again on fiving feet, Aricl. bareheaded and <ing young, small and tired again, came. too. and then Lily, Phil and the boys came in and there was a babel and confusion in which somehow Gail 2nd Aricl managed to have a cup of when Gail weat upstairs after upposedly to superintend the little boys' retiring, i§ was to be noted . that she remained there some addi- tional moments. When she came down wore her newes$ gown. a simple thin black velvet gown that left her slender brown arms bare and fell away in a long line from the straight column of her throat and the curve of her young breast. At the throat there was golden old lace, her mother's lace, and fonight Gail _wore her mother’s ocld cameo ring. The tawny locks that had Poen bobbed three years ago were longer mow and gathered in a cluster of curls at the nape of her neck Phil, Lily, Sam, Ariel—they all sat in the living room. In the fireplace logs crackled. The boys' blocks and books were stored on the shelves, and a ring of comfortable, shabby old chairs circled the hearth Lily only iistened tonight. She was & cood deal older than Ariel, but she secmed a little afraid of her. Gail was her silent. too. She sat at Phil's on a cushion. drafted for tomorrow’s Chal- nnouncement that would persville by surprise. Little ence, Mrs. Van Murchison Aricl listening. correcting, appeared the least concerned of the five There was a step at the side door. & gust of rain-sweet air penetrated to the sitting room. Gail had known this must come. She did not stir, except to raise her eyes to Dick Stebbins as he came in Phil did most of the talking. Dick ked. too, t0 Lily—to all of them, ex- cept Gail. To her he did not speak di- rectly until the clock struck 10 and she got to her foet g . you must go to bed. You must be dead. Come on!” “Are you coming back, Gail?" sald Dick then with a glance. “T think not! We'll be talking,” Gail said with a smile, “all night.” “Tomorrow I'll have to hang around th~ hospital. in the hope of seeing poor ‘Willoughby." If he died, Dick?” Phil asked, “would that kind of throw the monkey- wrench into vour plans?” “Well_in a way. There are two or three other propositions T could follow up.” Dick answered. unruffled He was the old Dick. and he was a new Dick. too. A quiet, big man, very sure of himself. His manner, his voice, | more authoritative than they Willoughby is doing the London for his Eastern firm.” he said. “And there was some talk of my going h him." If vou didn't. might you practice here, Dick?” This wes Gail. “I don't think so: not in Clippers- ville." he wvered decidedlv. “Tnter- national law, vou know.

But sha could not see anything but the lean, homely, kindly face that wasz smiling, just the hint of a smile, | at her, ‘T'd love it!" she said. The great news rocked Clippersville It's playing in Oak- | breakfast tables the next morning, and Gall, walking to the library in the de- licious Autumn freshness after the rain, was_assailed on all sides. The family knew she was married.’ Gail said over and over again, hoping | that this was not stretching the truth to the breaking point. “But they were both so young—and Van had no pros- pects—and then that unfortunate busi- ness of the bankruptcy came——" | But_Arfel's marriage was in the sec- ond place for her. She was thinking all the while that it was now almost 9 o'clock and that in eight hours Dick was coming to the house to take her off for_dinner and the theater. She did not have to wait so long to see him. About 10 o'clock he walked into the library and came up to the desk. Gail saw his hulking figure in the entrance arcade and her heart turned over completely, and the hand that was resting on her desk blotter trembled. When he stood before her she reached_both hands across the high desk. “Dick, we couldn't say much be- fore Lily last night. She's not to know everything. But how are we going to thank you for standing by Ariel, for saving her?” “Why, that was all right!” he said laughing & little awkwardly, flushing warmly. “Ariel's only a child still. Dick: she can't appreciate it. But Phil and T do— I do, from the bottom of my heart!" | T guess you know why I did it,” he wanted to say. “I guess you know I was glad to do it!"” was what she heard. “That doesn't make it any less!” she told him. ~ “It's a nice town to get back 5,” he said after a while. “And how’s poor Mr. Willoughly?” “Not s0 good." “Mrs. Cantor,” Gail said seriously, “told me that he had been told by the finest New York doctors that he would | simply have to stop drinking and eat- ing the way he was—-" ! Di~k listened respectfully to this and other Clippersville revelations. He had | »ll his old, simple, keen interest in | Gail's point of view; he was especially | roncerned and amused over her lively | reports of Lily and Ariel. “They don't like each other?” | “Well, they're polite. But they have | nothing in common!” | “No,” he conceded, deeply struck. “I| suppose not. But Lily makes Phil| happy?” he asked anxiously more than once. ! “Oh, utterly! He's mad about her.” (To Be Continued.) PLEADS FOR STUDENT Dr. H. F. Ward Asks Cancellation of Tao-Hsuan Li's Deportation. | Dr. Harry F. Ward, chairman of the | .
