YESTERDAY: At least Eileen had a chance, on her honeymoon in Hawaii, to capture the inter- est as well as the affection of her play-boy husband, rich Mar- tin Dane But ~ow Caroline Bempster, who has assumed all her life that she would marry Martin, has arrived. And Caro- line refuses. to believe Eileen married Martin for love and not Ris money, and has infuriated Eileen by demanding: that, she accept a settlement, and get out. Chapter 25 Casual Husband PIN the low: wind-swept, lux- urious rooms, with Martin’s cigarette still smoking upon the ash tray and his raincoat thrown across a chair, she faced. it. Nobody knew what she had said to Martin that night in the taxi, He talked about honor, his word of honor. But he had ke- trayed her te Caroline. That was the sort he was. Just what Caroline said; a changeable, irresponsible playboy whose out- er manner and look and build tallied by chance with what Eileen had secretly dreamed of all her life. But nothing reai in him tallied. ‘There had been a tramp and two snow leopards, and a near- drowning on a surfboard and a marri with a florist’s assistant from Third Avenue. And each of them had waked Martin up and made him excited and happy and alive for a little while. He hadn’t angry at what the ship- board people said. No, ‘heythad told Eileen, “I learn by. the time I was six thst ‘people thought of my money first.” There was only one thing that would prove to him that she hadn’t married him for alimony or a night-club spot or anything but caring. Even though he was only the shell instead of the reality of what she’d thought him. She fose and lifted Martin’s staat piled with his other uxurious gadgets. She was open- ing it when he came into the room, He had been playing ten- nis. “Got back sooner than you Seoegte he said, like any hus- “Yes.” She couldn't have it out with him. If she did, she'd be a weak idiot and stay, maybe. He stood there, smiling at her, swi the racket and saying, i it pink hat. I bet that’s the one I picked cut myself.” She ‘said what she never had before, desperately, “Martin, do/ thawing .snow, stating through the. glass where yellow acacia and tall bright. gladioli, made a fine if inexpensive show. She could see Ris, sleek and dark and quick as ever, darting about at his work. She Had al- }most gone in when she remem- | bered that she couldn't. Caroline had said, in so many words that she and Aristides were in love; were planning on the money. to be-extracted: fro: /Martin, ‘So. had thesmai ‘and gir) jon the pie some ori ‘or Molly's et Aris! and her own sake that wag, outh, Martin had seen to-it that she gave Molly a check as a matter | of course. He had seemed to sup- | pose as a matter of course, also, }that Aunt Louise, at her school- teaching in Colorado, would ex- |peet and take money. Eileen was fiercely glad, there in the raw evening, that Aunt Louise had, with frank surprise, refused it. But that refusal meant that she could no more go home than before. For the present she must even stay away from, Molly Flanagan. That wouid be the first place Caroline’s and Martin’s law- yers would think of. They would feel that, hooked up again with Molly and Aristides, she was the gold digger everybody thought e: r. Whereas. she had. only. been a desperate, romantic litle fool. She was yet, when she thought about Martin Dane. She moved slowly away in the dusk, an outeast— an outsider—as regards both her worlds. % ZJn stories, Bit Grant, who had dashed off to because he'd been in love wil denly appear and.
