Its members had or-, ganized during their school days and formed a “set” after the mysterious,! immutable ways of girlhood. The social events of the Kosmos, club were principally feminine affalrs, for the simple reason that in Glenville there were few eligible young men. Therefore, when Ada Marston’s hand- some big brother came home during; the holidays, after a three years' so- Journ in Nevada, she took him to a| library benefit dance and introduced | him to her friends with an “I'll-give- you-a-prize” expression. The other young men present were familiar factors, so Edwin Marston was | the hero of the hour; but with the per- versity which many an older and wiser hero had shown on similar oc- casions, he passed by the cream of | Glenville soclety with mere perfunc- tory politeness, and devoted himself to pretty Judith McKerney—a girl who | for some inexplicable reason, peoplel did not invite. “Why don't they invite her?" Ed- win bluntly demanded of his sister next morning. Ada looked up from tke book she was reading with a frown of perplex- ixty between her smooth brows. “l don't know—exactly; but they never do.” “What's wrong with her?” “Nothing; she’s all right, I suppose —only—" He waited for her to finish, and when she did not, he said: “I don't see why you girls don't ask her to join the Kosmos club. She's the most attractive one of the whole bunch I met last night.” Ada did not answer, but pursed up her small mouth as if she deplored his taste; ard their mother who had en- tered the room in time to hear the last remark, came to the rescue: "I believe Judith McKerney is really a very nice girl, she was very clever in school; THP EVENING TBLEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA., APRIL 30, 1914, m beginning to care for him; hy she did not want to marry any_ not for a long time, at least. a pressed for a reason, she had ¢ plans for a career.

Edwin. who hovered in Judith’s vicinity, was quick to sense the little barbs of envy and resentment that were cast at her under cover of suave politeness by Glenville persons who had always held themselves superiorly aloof. Through it all, Judith bore herself with modest dignity, but he fancied her face looked ! a little pale, and there was an unfath- omable expression in the hazel eyes.

Judith is sometimes invited to large affairs like the library benefit dance, but not often to the more exclusive ones.” “Well, I think it's a shame! She's a bright, jolly girl, with the normal craving for an innocent good time." Edwin leaned forward and regarded his mother and sister with accusing eyes. “In most places it's people’s own fault if they don't strike out and have a good time; but it isn't here, where conditions are so peculiar. Talk about th> caste system of India—it isn't a circumstance to Glenville's. And it's up to those who are in the lead to take the initiative.” Neither answered, and he added: “I'll wager neither of you can name a single thing that's really to her dis- credit.” Ada bridled. “Nothing actually to her discredit, perhaps. But she says and does indiscreet things—however, I suppose that's the way she’s been brought up.” Edwin's firm young mouth settled into a determined line. “That's the way with you women in speaking of another. Ydu say: ‘I'd like to invite her—but. She's all right—only—' It you'd condemn her outright there might be a chance for refutation.” With this parting shot he left the room. Thereafter, partly from perversity, but chiefly because he found Judith really very attractive, Edwin devoted himself to her, and in terms of his col lege vocabulary, gave her a “rush,” while all Glenville stared and won dered. Ada frankly disapproved, but her absorption in her own interests at this time kept her from realizing the serious turn her brother’s affairs had taken. The Kosmos club was to entertain the Loulsines, a literary club of the neighboring town of Windmere, at a reception, and the members were striving to make the event a memora- ble success. Ada, as chairman of the executive committee, took much of the burden on her own shoulders and worked early and late. “Only think, Ed,” she exclaimed the morning before the reception, as they sat at breakfast, “the president of the Louisine club is going to bring her cousin, who {8 author of ‘The Printed Path.’ It's one of the best sellers of the year and I'm crazy to meet the author. We reviewed the book at the club, and thought it wonderful that as young a woman as she is said to be could write a book of such depth.” Ada branched off into a description of the decorations for the reception, and the difficulty they had had in securing flowers. Their mother listened with interest, and neither noticed Edwin's abstrac- tion. As soon as the meal was over he left the house. He felt he could not bear questions this morning. Outside, the streets lay white and | sparkling under newly fallen snow. With hands thrust deep in overcoat pockets and head bowed in thought, Edwin strode along. “There’s no use denying it. I'm ; bard hit!” he admitted, and realized + how different life seemed to him now. | He had put the fateful question to Ju- ! dith last night. He had been genuine- "ly surprised when she refused him. Not that he had an exaggerated opin- fon of his own eligibility, but she had seemed to care, and he knew marriage with him would take her away from the narrow confines of Glenville into a broader, happler life in the far West. She had even admitted that she was “,lOIl want a careful, consistent. and re- Ible estimate on the construction of you- hiding, SEE US IMMEDIATELY.

Several other Windmere peo- ple were there, so it was not until the train had gone and they were walking down the now familiar street leading to Judith's home that Edwin had a chance to speak frankly with her about the surprise she had given him and congratulate her on her success. “Don't, please don't say anything about it. I have had enough tonight.” “I can understand now, Judith, why you don’t want to marry a plain chap like me. With your beauty and talent and the advantages resulting from your success, you will have the whola world to choose from.” She laughed. “I'm—not sure I want the whole world to choose from,” she answered slowly. “I thought I did. I thought success would cure the heart- aches of my restricted girlhood, and bring happiness. But they're all there —the stings and slights—under differ ent gulses. Will it always be like that, I wonder, out in the world? Always a sense of lack and disappointment?* “Without love—yes, Judith. For we are taught to believe that love is mas- ter of all art.” “We do not need to be taught—we women—we know Instinctively—" Her voice ended in a breathless little laugh as she yielded to his arms.
