Ciive's. sey will not permit it him to ai . lone Banta to” to pey for these lucu~ rigs—but his for her makes him agree. Chapter 23 THE MONEY FLIES Bt in marriage, as Clive was to Jearn, there are 10 closed chap- ters. Perhaps wives with incomes are naturally secretive. Santa had formed the habit th ough living with Dicky, What the rent of their @partment was Clive discovered from the janitor. The wages they paid their maid he could only guess. The cost ~f their housekeeping, if Santa knew ‘he exact figure, she Bever told. Her extravagance in clothes was terrifying. Every day she raided Fifth Avenue: the result was an avalanche of boxes, She tiung away dollars where he would have con- sidered cents. Since she was spend- ing her own monev. he had no ul cense to curb her. Ulogicaliy, despite her inde pendence, ber pretence was that she was utterly his possession. Never more so than when she paraded be fore him, courting his approval of the latest addition to her wardrobe. Once he attempted a mild protest. “It’s stunning. But there aren’t enough s in the year to wear the frocks you already own.” “I’m gathering my trousseau,” she pulled a face at him, “So that’s the idea! But aren’t you setting the pace a trifle fast? What I mean is——” “I'm your slave and you're my sultan, 1 don’t buy them to please myself. { dress for you only.” At the end of the first month when he inguired what he owed, she re “They aren't made up. You earn how much? About four hundred a month. Give me half of it.” That two hundred wasn’t his share, he was certain. When he wrote out his check for three hun- @red, she tore {t up. The second time she accepted it, but omitted to cash it. He took her to task, She placed poy weeks to, find her reading a newspaper. The sight ; she rarely read any- thing. She was so intent on its con- tents that she dido’t hear his ap- “Something inte¢ resting?” He perched on the arm of her chair. “Let's squint at it.” The paragraph wae marked. It contained the news that old Mr. Dak qwas dead and that bis only son, eer en ree eee his sir “Dicky must have sent it,” Santa commented. “As you see, it's a Chi- “J gave you that.

Every ; She tailed utterly te | one knows.” comprehend his fastidiousness, “That's as may be. But why yell it from the house-tops?” With repetition of the offence, she invented an explanation. “1 was paying you’: The few times I was happy with Dicky | fancy that I must have been ; with you.” And that really seemed to be the case—that her memories of her hus: bands had blended. Her other husband! One never saw him. He pattered about like a disembodied spirit. As far as Clive was concerned, he felt that his mar riage was haunted. The haunted marriage! Alzeady h« had acquired enough data to write a book on it. In his most peaceful moments he ‘was continually tlundering on foot prints left by Dicky. Meanwhile all her effort was te convince him that her past wae most remotedly banished. She lav- ished gifts on him—stick-pins, cuff: links; whatever suggested itself: to her generosity. For his birthday she begged permission to give him @ check suit — a black and white one. She chose the tailor. “You're so handsome. I long to see you in one that’s made-to-meas- ure.” Under pressure he consented, to discover that Dicky Dak was one of the taflor’s favored clients. “Mr. Dak is a rare one for checks, sir. He’s what we call a snappy dresser.” Before the suit came home Clive had taken an aversion to it, When it had been bung in his.cupboard he never wore it. Santa accused him of not caring for it. “Frankly I don’t.” “But it fits. What's the objec. tion?” “I'm not Dak. I purchase my clothes ready-made. Always have,” “As you choose.” Santa smiled. She was imperturbably pleasant. “The janitor’s about your size. Why not give it to him?” He didn’t tell her; to hold up his | end he was drawing on his savings. His out-of-pocket expenses for the atre-tickets, automobile-hire, gen eral entertainment, amounted tc more than his contribution to house- keeping. Pride demanded that when she showered him with gifts, he should return them with an equal gener osity. He was living on a plane which nothing in his prospects war ,| ranted. To increase his nervous permissible, Santa t bis knees, squatted the floor tailor-fashion. Stretching back, she coaxed him. “What's troubling the old head?” “If you'd been his wife when all this money blew in, would you have @ivorced him?” “Tickle my throat,” she ordered; “be natural.” Then, sensing his seriousness, “Who cares about money?” ‘That night she whispered: “When will you believe that ré@ rather starve with you in an attic than travel round the world in @ yacht with Dicky?” But her protestations only as sured him while he was alone with ber. He noted, or thought he noted, that other people regarded their marriage as catch-as-catch-can— anyway, as lacking in dignity. Slips of the tongue forced on his attention that he was no more than her second husband. Though her entire bappiress was ravenously bound up with his, nothing could face the impression. Friends vis- Ming, recognized certain objects. ness he had a shrewd suspicion that his firm’s affairs were going none too prosperously, Three months after his scatter brained return from Chicago, Mr. Cleasby called him into his office. “Pve been watching you, Clive. You're all strung up. Ought to take | @ holiday with your wife. There's @ concern we've financed in London. I wish you’d run over and make a report on it.” Clive clinched with the offer. Away from {familiar surroundings Santa might re-adjust herself. No usband ie | compliment. ¢ 1S MORE THan aN OUTSTANDING PasseR AND KICKER, BoTioa BRILLIANT BALL Carrick ‘AND Derenswe Back Arrange Basketball Contest For Tonight There will be a “basketball game} at the High School gymnasi night between the “Depry quintet and the Junior class team. | This will be a free exhibition,/| and it is expected that there will be many out to witness the con- i test.

With a student pilot, Coach Kellison and Director of Ath- letics Billy Gooch keeps an eagle eye on opponents with- out missing the study of their own football team in action. ‘William and Mary is rated the first college in America to offer a school of aviation with actual flying instruction. The student planes, in green, gold and silver, head the stu- dent body in formation at games played in Virginia.

One of the outstanding features of Florida's exhibit at the Cen- tury of Progress exposition to be held at Chicago, next year, will be an acre of orange and other citrus trees in full foliage and bearing fruit which it is hoped will ripen under Chicago skies and give many millions of those who will attend the exposition their first glimpse of an orange grove. The trees are being taken from the Flamingo Groves in the Everglades, 14 miles west of Hol- lywood, where a summer ripening variety of the famous Lu Gim Gong orange is being grown.
