Gyps sy Weather NS By MARGARET BELL eee PAAR SARE TSEEEIHOUSTON : You and Your SYNOPSIS: After Elinor Flem- ing jilted him because of his drink= ing, Rupert Joris married a girt who came to him late one night for legal advice. Rupert was drunk at the time; now, next morning, he is recovering from the effect of his “bat.” But Hope th® girl, has left the house early and Dirk. who is Rupert's younger brother, finds himself strangely worried. He has gone to look for her in haste—al- though there is no reason to sup- pose she has done more than taken ¢ walk, Chapter 11 DISGRUNTLED. HUSBAND SUDDENLY AP Oceurred to Dirk that Hopé might have returned to her hotel if Manhattan. This was doubtful, since she owed them noney, but there was a chance. Fail- {ng that, the management might give him some clue as to where else to look for her. The Jameson Hotel. tle remembered that, too, found the address of the hotel in the telephone book, of the first drug-store he passed. The Hotel Jameson was a dingy hotel in the east thirties. A dingy lady at the desk repeated after him, “Miss Devine, Miss Hope Devine.” She consulted her records and re- ported that Miss Devine had left some time before. “L remember her now. A dark little girl—a music-teacher. The col- ored elevator-boy was her pupil. She didn’t leave an address. Dirk asked if there was any mail for Miss Devine. Perhaps a postmark might be a help. It was impertaat that he find her, he said. The lady went listlessly through the files of letters. There noth- ing for Miss Devine. “I hardly thought there would be. That was one thing 1 remembered about her. She almost never got any mail. You know most girls get at Jeast—wait a minute.” She had a conference with a boy who had just returned from tunch. “Funny, that.” she presently ex- plained. “Miss Devine was in just this morning and got her trunk. It wa: he had Jeft it as a sort of se- curity. “Know where she went?” asked the boy. No. She had merely paid her bill, and left. Dirk left also. He thought he un- derstood. Rupert had no doubt given Hope money the night before, and she had come in forthwith to re. deem her trunk. She had left at an incongruous hour for such an er- rand, but so long as she had accom plisied it— He had no doubt he would find her at Lowrie Wood. Dirk H E was right. Mary informed him that Mrs. Joris had returned shortly after he left. he had been to church, sir... to early service.” So thai was explained. realize, Mister Dirk, that Joris is the daughter of a par- This, Mary felt, was a timely re- buke to young gentlemen who sel- dom went to church at @ll. Mi8ter Rupert’s marriage had bewildered the servants by its unexpectedness, but it held the flavor of romance, and they were tasting it with relish today. The odd thing was for Mister Dirk to speed-after the bride as soon as she stepped out. “She brought her trunk back with her, sir in the taxi. Jane helped her unpack it. it’s just gone down to the store-room.” “Where is Mrs. asked. “In her room, sir. And Mister Rupert wishes to see you as soon as you come in.” Dirk went upstairs to find Rupert sitting on the edge of his bed, a brown dressing-gown over his p . Rupert's eyes were bloodshot, cheeks blue and unsh(§ven. The mop of his black hair was wet, and the bronze bowW beside the telephone beginning to fill with cigarette-stubs. The room was full of smoke, and the stale odor of whisky. It was a plain room, crowded with books. Dirk could remember the time when Rupert had cared for nothing but to pore over books and ride his pony. Croon Joris, whose portrait had always reminded Dirk of Rupert, had been a sybarite and a spender. Rupert's tastes, on . had a Spartan simplicity pt in what concerned Elinor. Nothing had been too lavish, beautiful for her. Dirk had opened.a window, and the currents of smoke began to flow toward it. Rupert frowned at the light. He saidj > “Hell of a’mess I'm inf.

He let the woman in, of course.” “She’s not a woman,” Dirk said, , oddly on the defensive. “She's a girl. Eighteen, I should say.” “Connolly says she gave her age as twenty-one. You’ve seen her?” “1 talked with her last night, after you went upstairs.” “Was she sober?” erfectly. Even solemn.” “This is no joke,” remarked Ru- pert furiously. “It is not,” Dirk agreed. “But your asking if she was sober—” “1 didn’t know but we might have had a few drinks together.” “There was no evidence of that,” Dirk assured him, “She was sober, and 1 might say, desperate.” Rupert glanced at him. “Desperate?” ‘or money. She was stranded here. Her hotel had put her out—was holding her trunk.” “But she has a family—according j to the record. Her father, she says, {| is the Rev. Somebody.” “They don’t live here,” Dirk an- | swered. “The bank where she had her funds closed. It may be her family wouldn't or couldn’t help her, or she may not have wanted to tell them. She came to you, as a lawyer, | to know what to do.” “She came to do what she did,” re- | plied Rupert. “It was a trick, and | she managed it.” 1 He reflected with some satisfac- | tion that she had got no money ont !| of him, whatever the trick might net | her in the end. He had in his bill- fold exactly the amount he had brought home with him the evening | before, and his check-book had not been touched. | IRK said, “I'm certain it wasn’t | a trick. I’m certain your pro- posal caine as a surprise to her. Wait | till you see her. It may even be you | frightened her into it, or...” as | Rupert seemed about to go into a | rage, “or offered marriage as the i condition on whith you wouid help | her. She was without money, or food, or friends. She was in a panic, so she hunted up a lawyer, and you { happened to be the one she found.” | “You're ridiculous, of course,” Ru- pert remarked. “She saw the state I was in, and she took advantage of | it. No decent girl would have done that. If she was drunk, too, I could | understand it.” “It's odd,” said Dirk, should mention decency. That was the only question you asked her.” And, as Rupert stared, “1 think you made some allusions to her family, but you asked her, as | understand 1 don’t think she could have invented that ques- tion, and if she’s telling the truth about that, she’s probably not lying about the rest. You asked if she was a decent girl.” | Rupert was silent. He looked at | his cigaret, crushed it out. “No, | suppose she could not have | invented that.” he said finally. “How- | ever, I'll check on her antecedents and her decency, too. An annulment, | under the circumstances, should be | simple.” Hl “I've already checked,” said Dirk. ! Again Rupert's brief stare. It was | the memory of Dirk’s face that Ru- | pert had carried over from the night | before. Dirk, newly arrived, stand. | ing in the hall, looking at him. There | was an impression, too, of Con- nolly. He had telephoned Connolly | and got the facts, or some of them. ! Then he had sent for Dirk, and learned that he had gone out. | “And you found?” said Rupert. —_| can assure you,” Dirk an- | ered, “that the girl is not only } decent, but decidedly inexperi- j 1 i . he could assure him of that, and he wasn’t going to have Rupert | digging around, discovering the cir- | cus | “You'll be telling me next,” said | Rupert, “that she didn’t know I was | tight.” “That's possible, too,” Dirk admit- | ted. “You carry it well enough. Howe | ever, 1 shan’t say that. I only say that she’s a nice kid who came to you in a panic, and that marrying her was your own idea.” Rupert lit another cigaret. The | matter of Dirk’s looking up the girl, | checking on her story, had aroused | his gratitude somewhat. .. . Decent and desperate. The combination might insure a quiet settlement of | the affair. Connolly had promised to | keep it out of the papers, if possible. | Rupert himself had insisted the night before that the papers have it, though it had been too late for the Oirk nas a very serious conversas 2 th his brother, tomorrow.

This is a very elementary and trite truth taught in economics but the full impli- cations of it are not, apparently, generally ap- preciated. Let us exam- ine this in its bearing upon the manner in which a coun- try recovers from a depres- sion and upon the problem of| t unemployment. The round- about method of production means that a large proportion of producers produce for other producers. Relatively few weekly their for the goods exha slowly large proportion of all buying and selling, therefore, is among producer: The market of one group of producer: depends largely upon the deman of other producers.
