Trees below in Gramercy Park. Taxis halted be- fore the Players’ Club. Clive sprawied in a chair in the bachelor’s apartment he had occupied since his. return from Europe. His firm had wished to send him back to Vienna. He'd refused for the secret reason that Santa's divorce was pending. For the thousandth time he was, reviewing his relations with her. ‘The loyalty he was displaying was asinine. Each time he had given her a fresh chance she’d failed him. He supposed she would continue to fail him to the end of the chapter. ‘When she was free and he sought to claim her, she would probably declare that she was sick of mar- riage. His next news would be that she was honeymooning with an- other fellow. He came to grips with himself: Banta was his vice. In other direc- tions he could discipline his crav- ing: where she was concerned there was no bridling them. That this should be so rousod his indig- nation. The goal he’d set himself \Was to become a leader, That he jeould succeed he’d proved during ithe year abroad. He never ought to. ‘have re-sought Santa. He was again her slave, spellbound, interminably ‘awaiting her pleasure, Already he had been penalized for {his infatuation. His impolitic reluc- {tance to represent his firm in Eu- Tope had lowered his standing with _ Mr. Cleasby. And here was revealed the obstt, mate idiocy of his conduct: since ‘that night when Santa kissed him,}i9& ‘so impetuously, he had not seen her He had been permitted to ‘render. her no service. Had been forbidden ever to write to her. “Keep out of the picture,” her [father had advised, adding that it lhe intruded he might eomplicate. | matters by getting himself quoted ‘as the alienator of her affections. So for six months he'd marked time, uninformed agto what was happen- ing and powerless to help her. bind de gga tinkled, \ @ Mr. Dak down here laura for you.” | Clive thought furiously. An inter. iyview would probably end in a fight. ‘Still he might learn something. ; “Send him up.” | Atap. Cliveopened. The two men stared in the waming light. In Dak’s regard there was no enmity. | “Come in,” Clive invited. “This iis a bit unexpected.” “For me, too,” Dicky smiled. Removing his coat, he tossed i aside, Ho was in evening-dress. “Sit down. How about a ciga- your ithe Princeton Club. Of course you're | wondering why.” “Frankly I am.” “Then let me explain, I'm at my Wits’ end. I've seen Santa's father. He'll have nothing to do with me.” “Ig that surprising?” “I should gay not. But that leaves you as the last court of appeal.” “Can't see what 3 have to do with it.” “You can persuade her.” “TO what?” “To drop the divor¢e, Citve made his tone Taditerent “Why on earth should I interfere? Save for an accidental meeting at her parents’ house, I haven't seen her since your marriage. I have no influence—" “You have.” Dicky teaned for (ward. “Being a bachelor, you don’t know wives. They treasure an ideal, ‘You're hers. All the noble qualities \she denies to me, she attributes to \you. Without the least intention, jyou've made unfair competition for jme.” i i “This sounds nonsense.” “Lagree.” Dicky laughed. “But it isn't. You're the white-haired boy. If you were to tell Santa that she ought to take me back, she would Pay attention, Clive blew a ring of smoke. “Supposing I don't think she @aght to take you back? From all ha heard you've been a beast to jer.” eecceseeecsose PARADISE! O08 O0000 000000000 “Asa man of the world, in a mari- tal quarrel you surely don’t believe that all the justice is on one side? You yourself were once in love with | her and didn’t have such an easy time. You'd be. standing in my shoes tonight if I hadn’t cut you out, Instead of divorcing me, she’d be divorcing: you.” “Profoundly interesting,” said. Stimulated by this encourage ment, Dicky continued. “Since she's heen my wife. I've done nothing more offensive that she'd seen me do during our engage ment.” “Nothing?” Clive switched on a near-by lamp. Dicky became uncomfortable, and hesitated. “She's certainly seen me hilarf ous. She may have fooled herself that she was the cause, Anyway, 1 was always a top-speed artist and @ great one for parties. While E was her fiance, that suited Santa down to the ground. We saw the town with one foot om the gas. Not till we were married did she apply the brakes. We skidded. Went on skid- ding. At last we’ve crashed.” “She applied the brakes when she discovered that she was mar. Tied to a gentleman bum,” Clive spoke insolently and waited for the explosion, “You've snatched the words from my mouth,” Dicky surprised him. “! was on the road to the devil. Un fortunately this was the first time I'd been asked to hustle and my solitary business went up the flue while we were on our honeymoon. That threw me on, hep resources. So if you come right down to it, the trouble between us is money. Oth er things aren’t the cause; they're the aggravation,” Clive swung his leg over the arm of his chair. “What do you propose to. do?” “What I've done is. more. impos; tant. 1 haven't had a dfink since she left me. I've gone to work— accepted the. first job that offered Tm an automobile salesman,” “But L meant as concerns Santa.” “f've lain down, I’m not contest the suit,” “I know only the barest details.” Clive betrayed irritation. “I believe you went on a trip to St, Paul and returned to find your home stripped ‘and your wife vanished, You, can't have sat down under such teat: ment, No man would. You must have done something.” “L certainly did.” Dicky assumed @ purposeful expression, “I lost no time in tracing her: I've courted her Clive |with more ardor during the. past six months than ever I dic before we were engaged. I’ve sent her flowers, the odd theatre-ticket—paid her all those little attentions which mean so much to a woman's vanity.” FOOTBALL GAME AT PARK TONIGHT ST.

Supporters and admirers of both boys will get a chance tonight to settle the argument as to which is as no one questions that ‘these two boys will be the stars of the game. Coach €artrell is building his plays around Hale’s speed and deception and Coach Brooks will depend on Cates to smash off tackle and plunge his team to vic-' tory. | The fans are promised, the best! game of the year when the whistle; blows tonight. { enone. i Sococceoqvcvceyucooeseee TODAY’S HOROSCOPE | 200600060 0050000400000080 \ | Affectionate yet taciturn and; possibly sarcastic, perhaps fickle, this nature is hard to “understand, for often when it is merely play- ful it appears to, be malicious and. it may be deceptive.

How on earth did you get the idea that 1 would think better of you than she does?” “Because I’m desperate.” Dicky’s voice shook with agitation. “I’m not entirely selfish. I'm thinking of her.

He sprang to his feet, “As you see things you've robbed her and then quoted your rascality as the reason why no man will de sire her. Can't you realize—?" “Everything.” Clive walked over to his coat and flung it at him. “Advise her te return to you! I'd rather advise her to take poison.” Dicky shuffled to his feet. “I made a mistake in approach- j ing you.” On the threshold he paused, “You're a bachelor.
