LOWIS JOSEPH ©107 by Louis Joseph Vance BEGIN HERE TODAY His insatiable appetite for cheap flirtation and frequent perlods of heavy drinkjng, had almost destroyed the love which LUCINDA DRUCE, prominent Fifth Avenue society matron, held for her husband. After five years of mar- ried life, she had decided that her beauty, youth and charm were not sufficlent to hold Bellamy. At a fashionable dinner, the Druces met RICHARD DAUBENEY, Lucinda's old sweetheart, and MRS. AMELIE SEVERN, with whom RBellamy at once proceeds to carry on an affair, Amelie and Bellamy lunch at the Clique Club and Amelie suggests that Bel Divorce Lucinda, He refuses and she sug- gests that possibly Lucinda may divorce him, GO ON WITH THE STORY “Deal with that when it comes up, Frankly, don't believe it ever will. Don’t mean to give Linda any rea- son I can avold." What you mean love—!" “I mean,"” “whatever my apect Linda, can help it."” “How charming of you!" For all acknowledgment she re- ceived a silent inclination of his head; and she began to laugh dangerously, eyes abrim with hatred, the heat in her cheeks shaming their rouge. “Well, thank God I've come to un- derstand you before we went any farther!"” “‘Amen to that.” “And so all your love making has been simply—"' “The same as yours, Amy." “Then why did you ever make love to me at all, please?" ‘‘Because you let me see you want- ed me to.” The brutal truth of that lifted the woman to her feet. “I don’t think I care for any more luncheon,” she said in a shaking voice. “If you don't mingese Sy Bellamy rose, bowing place. “Not at all.” He offered to help with her fur, but she wouldn’'t have that, threw the garment over her arm and flung round, the table, then checked and looked back. *You understand—this ends it—for all time?" ! “I couldn't do you the injustice of thinking anything else.” She made a tempestuous through the curtains.

Nelly Guest gave a stage hiss. “Someone might hear. And all] these years I've ‘tried so hard to live it down!

Any druggist can supply you with 215 ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey, or corn "mli: instead of sugar syrup, if desired. This recipe makes a pint of really remarkable cough remedy. It tastes good, and in spite of its low cost, it can be dem’ndrd upon to give quick and lasting relief. You can feel this take hold of & cough in a way that means business.

Pinex is a special and highly concen- trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and is probably the best known means of overcoming severe coughs, throat and chest colds.

Strange that faith should have been shattered finally by such a minor ac- cident "as her overhearing that morn- ing's treachery.

Was it reasonable to assume that Dobbin would not have developed in the forcing atmosphere of matrimony traits quite as difficult to deal with as Wasn't the wault, then, more with the institution than with the indi- viduals. Was marriage every any- thing but a failure? Fanny caught Lucinda eyeing her and smiled. “What under the sun are you thinking about so solemnly, Cindy?” “You, dear. I want you and your hushand to dine with us—say next Thursday?" “I don't know. That's one of the exciting things about being married to Harry lLontaine, one never knows what tomorrow will bring forth.

His habit was that of a man at ease in any com- pany, who sets a good value on him- #elf and confidently looks for its gen- eral acceptance, He talked well, with assurance, some humor, and a pair amount of information. He had lived several years In the States, off and on, and on the whole approved of them.

Tf you asked Lontaine, it was his considered belief that the really top-hole productions of the future would come of combining American brilllance of photography and investiture with European thor- oughness in acting and direction, This forecast was uttered with an authority that impressed even Lu- cinda, elaborately uninterested as she was, She had maintained a half- smile of amiable attention which would have deceived a sharper man, and let her thoughts drift on dreary tides of discontent. Hour by hour the conviction was striking its roots more deeply into her comprehension that life with Bel on the present terms was unthink- able, . A losing fight.

Tears started to her eyes, she jumped up lastily lest her friends should see, mumbled an excuse, and made her way out to the:foyer, turn- ing toward the women's cloak-room. The foyer was still fairly thronged; she was almost in Bel's arms before she saw him, so near to him that she caught, as she started back, a heavy whiff of breath whiskey-fla- vored. She heard him say, “Why, hello, Linda! what's the hurry?” and cut in instantly with a gasp of indigna- tion: “What are you doing here?"
