Alicla was different. She was charmingly pretty and level-headed, and that she could develop into anything as feather brained as a matinee girl was unbe- lievable.

After two winters of teas, dances and festivities of every description she had met George Everton and had entered into her first really serious love affair. It was the seriousness of it that was poor Alicia’s undoing. George Everton had become absorbed in his father's business after return- ing from college intent upon proving that he was capable of being made a Junior partner, He was deeply in love with Alicia. All of his thoughts and ambitions re- volved around her and their future. Alicia was proud of his ability and gloried in his physical achievements, but as the novelty of their engage- ment wore off, he had settled into a take-it-for-granted state that she re & SELSEMEYER SKEE US BEFORE BUYING Rooms 200-202 Drane Bldg.

If her head had not been filled with nonsense Alicla would have appre- clated George Everton's love at its full value. His expressive dark eyes al- ways shone with tenderness as he greeted her, and his touch was almost sacred. Tonight he kissed her softly on her braided hair. l “Such a pretty little sweetheart,” he murmured. But the Evertons had l never been demonstrative people, and | their son was content to allow his af- | fection a brief expression. | "I brought you over a book for your | €helf.

In her heart she was not afrald, but the words gave her a dramatic thi!li which was en- { Jorable. George Everton got up from - - [ “To-morrow,” he said in a low tone, upon a more | of action. “Go, of course,” advised Letty. “I am crazy to see what he looks like on the street.” Together they went back to the stage door where a man with very dark eyebrows and lashes was waiting for them. He wore a very much padded tan overcoat with a fur collar. “The gods are good,” he said jovial- ly. “Shall we walk down the avenue this pleasant afternoon?” The girls found themselves swinging along while the actor plied them with questions which would have aroused Alicia’s suspicions under ordinary con- ditions. As it was she was trying to realize that she was actually talking to a man whose name was on the bill in huge letters. Yefore leaving he bhent over Alicia. “you must take dinner with me alone, | just you.” She murmured assent and sped home.

The man's tone was cold and snecring, the woman's high and shrill. “You baby snatcher” cried. the latter “I will write to her father.” “You had better confine your dra- |ROGERS & BLANTON, matics to the boards, Clem,” the man replied coldly. “They would be better appreclated there. I am going to do as I please. The girl's a peach and | don't intend to have my fun spoiled.” At the conrse words the scales dropped from Alicia’s eyes. She looked for a way to escape, but gee- ing none, turned disdainfully to meet this vulgar loafer whose friendship she was suddenly ashamed of. He came up on her suddenly, but his equanimity was undisturbed. “Why away in here, little girl?” he said insolently, taking her arm, *I dig—" “Ston,” she ordered. a mistake. 1 was to meet a gontle- man.
