WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12 pe ee YESTERDAY: Wealthy Roger Cosgrave had no thought that anything would come between him and his fiancée, Emily Perry. But he met Lovely Daye, and Lovely came between. Roger knows that Lovely’s tenement background does not match his, but he also knows that there is more than the gitl’s blonde beauty in it all. He just has left Emily and joined Lovely, and now Lovely resists him. Chapter Nine Explaining Emily ‘Oo! you don’t? Well, I know about you, you see. I mean this.” She handed Roger a paper that had been lying on the table. “Somebody must have been care- less and left it there.”, Roger stared at the printed page. Heading the society gossip| was a picture of Emily and him- self snapped a few months before at a dog show. Their engagement was spoken of, their approaching marriage, their prominence. The perfect fitness of their marriage. Lovely’s eyes were on him with peculiar intentness. He knew he should say something. What? How could you expect anyone to be- lieve you were trying to be honest when you said your heart belonged to two girls? But that was, true. He could feel Emily’s cool hands, calm, poised, elegant but holding on just as firmly as Lovely’s more impulsive, passion- ate, expressive ones. He said finally: ‘I hadn’t been trying to hide “that from you Lovely.” She looked startled. “Jeepers creepers! Then what were you doing?” Not exactly angry. Not exactly laughing. Nor wag she crying. But Roger could not tell which she was nearest. “I thought when you brought me up here and then went home last night—you were so swell and all —I thought, maybe,” and then she broke off, the flame of her voice overcast. “Oh, well, I don’t know what I did think. Some crazy thing I guess like—that you might really like me.” “Lovely, I do!” Quickly from the young man. “I do. I more than like you. I love you. I could go on and tell you I love you with a consuming passion, something so deep and riotous it frightens me. It would all be true. But I am engaged to that girl in the pic- ture. She’s wearing my ring. We're supposed to be married within a month.” There was a forthrightness and honesty about him that would have given a more experienced woman cause to wonder. It was as if he had taken his heart and laid it out there for her to see its truthfulness. Lovely Daye was blind to the gesture. “Well, I'm engaged too!” Her voice rose a little as she held up her hand. Joe’s chip diamond was there. “That’s a game two can ei itd “But I wasn’t playing a game, Lovely.” Tensely. Sie 5 “If you were fooling me I was fooling you! And how!” Her rich, full laughter grated a little. “You didn’t have that on your | hand last night.” Then he had} seen a ring on that finger when they first met. Lovely laughed as if in appre- ciation of a good joke. “Of course not, dope! I took it off and put it in my purse.” Roger stared at her. “I wasn’t trying to deceive you,” he said finally, quietly. “I wouldn't know that big boy. T only know you did. I might have known though.” Bitterly. “I might have known what your kind were. Engaged to one girl and trying to have some fun with another The sort of fun your girl’s too good for I presume! She's prob- ably one of those glamor girls— @ petticoat wired for sound!” Yielding “J OVELY! Stop!

That isn’t the way I feel about you at all.” “You're going to pay for. thi Ignoring him she went on madk “You'll pay!” I'll get even west you it—" But Roger’s controlled voice cut through her passionate ery: “I_want to pay, Lovely, I mean to. But not in the way you think. I want to do wi right I haven't meant to you. ys he paused and so: Ing in him seemed to be break "Tye been t Lovely.” he said 8 y because you some and ri a with any anger, disappointme in her voice. “Well you can't.

I know all about it.” His voice not quite steady, for their quarrel had opened the door to passion. They were in love with reality. The flame of their emotion rose to burning brightly. Roger was tensely possessive. Lovely pliant- ly submissive. All of the anger had burned out of her. “I don’t care, Roger,” her voice shaken, “I don’t care about any thing in the world but you. I guess I don’t even care much how I ve you, just so I do. I don’t blame you for anything. You can’t help it that you’re promised to someone else. She was first. If she 2 “Hush darling.” His lips on hers silenced her words. “It isn’t going to be like that. It’s not that sort {of thing with me. I care. I care | enough for both of us, Lovely.” | “Then what——“she started to say, her eyes lifted to him, tear swept luminous. “I don’t know.” Once more his lips silenced the question before she could completely voice it. “I only know I love you with a passion that consumes me. We'll have to work from that bass, darling.” As twilight deepened Roger knew he should be leaving to dress to accompany Emily to ee party, but Lovely clung to im. “IT can’t let you go. I can’t I can’t.” Like a sad chant on her lips. “You’re going to her. I'll die here alone. I’ll die without you.” She leaned against him, all soft curves and tender impulses. It was like uprooting something | from the depths of his heart to |go, finally. Lovely’s expressive hands seemed to cling to him long after he was in the car goil down the hill. He had a sense them with him. She had given him a letter to maii. It was addressed to Gert. “I wrote her I’m visiting,” had said as she gave it to him. meeting Party |H's mother’s voice, | him in the hall as he would jhave hurried up to dress shook him loose from the spell of Love- y. “Not dressed? You and Emily are going to be terribly late for | Mari’s dinner party. You know how Mari hates that sort of thing, Any hostess does. Emily should have sent you home sooner. When two people are so in love——” her voice trailed into silence as he made his way upstairs. Emily hadn’t called, then, to find out what was wrong with |him, why he hadn’t shown up yet. He paused on that for an in- stant. Strange. Almost as if she knew. But she couldn’t know. He pushed the thought aside. He called Emily and told her he her on ahead. He’d follow almost im iediately. “You know how Mari hates late dinner guests,” he said. He wondered efter he’d hung up if Emily’s voice had been strange. Taut. As if drawn with concealing tightness over some emotion she did not want to re= veal. She had said that would be all right. Emily rarely rebelled. She was too well bred, too schooled in soft pedalling her own_desires, He had never seen Emily do |anything impulsive or thoughte less. She was really a girl among rls. He could be proud of her. ot proud merely while youth |gave magic to her quiet beauty. But proud through the years would always be right and fair and gentle. Cocktails were delaying dinner when he arrived, immaculate in summer evening dress. “Ah, Roger's here! Now things can begin!” a girl breathed as he greeted her. “Without you, dar- ling, a party is like cocktail hour without handsome men in the | mood!” “Come here a, moment, dar- arm through his. “We want you to settle something.

Patton has campaigned in rings around his native Phila- delphia for several years, how- ever, and Carbonell. says he has learned the fighter made several winning starts in Miami this winter, With the annual Golden Gloves tournament ending this month in New York, Carbonell plans to groom local amateurs for a shot at next year’s tlimination. “Tt will take at least a year to get things running smoothly and train some of these boys to point where they will have a chance in the big show”, Car- bonell explained today Fighters will be classed accord- ing to their experience in the amateur eliminations and profes- sional fighters will be available to give them instructions and practice in the training sessions. The Friday night program will have no connection with the amateur tournament, but Car- bonell hopes to arouse interest among local fighters with their first taste of simon-pure battling.

They played a number of benefit affairs for the Cuban Revolutionary Committee that was raising funds for the independence of the pres- ent Island Republic. More ambitious than his broth- ers, Felo was known as a_ trail- blazer. He toured the United States with the first foreign base- ball team ever to enter this coun- try. In 1903 he again entered the United States, this time as a member of the famous Cuban Giants. Playing in the larger American cities on the tour, he pitched and won 25 games and lost fogr other starts. Evaristo “Bicho” Rodriguez was one of the last players pur- :chased by a local team. He was brought from Cuba to perform at short for the Key West All-Stars of 1908.
