If you did you would not be here with me to- | night. T think you love me a little,” he whispered coaxingly. The woman cowered at the fnno- cent reasoning, but one’s thoughts play strange tricks. Lyra Milliard forgot for a mo- { ment the worshipping boy sitting be- | side her and wondered what her | husband was doing at that moment —her staid old-fashioned husband who was as much older than herself as she was older than the youth who was asking her the question. Did John love her? For many years she had not even thought to nquire. Now she knew if care of | her and faith and trust in her meant love he gave it to her—but with a sigh she understood it was now the affection that passed for love in most marriages—love which after a | fashion means security, but is de- void of thrills She was brought back man who it he had never been a great lover had been a guccessful hushand by the hoy saying: “There T've said it—T've said that 1 love you—something that I have canted to say ever since you first ke to me at the station platform. )o you remember what you said 2" She shook her head. “At first you seemed bored at the { thought of ‘coming to visi {and then as ye aimed: ‘Why, you're a .ooking into your my ves T knew that what you s | true—T had become a man at that jinstint.” | With sudden passion he : | kissed her.

When he drove the car into the garage Phillip sat still behind the | wheel for a long time. What a blooming mix-up life was anyway! Why had Lyra been born 80 early or why had he beeh born so late? It wasn't all happiness to be a man— sometimes he really wished that he liad not grown up. Until lately he had not worried about anything—he just went along and had a good time. He played along with Natlee when he wanted to and when he grew a little tired of her he simply left her to Rod’'s ten- | der niercies—he always found her when he went back. Now it was different. He dis- covered that he was bound to Lyra and although he was pretty certain that if he went on he would go straight to the devil, he knew just as certainly that he would keep on. He would not stay away from her. A little cold shudder ran through his backbone as he thought of the dinner dance on Tuesday night. He hadn't the slightest idea how women acted when they found out that a man had deceived them. Would his mother bawl him out in front of the | gang? Would Natlee ever speak to him again? He wished we whole thing were over. He had stayed away from Natlee over sinca Lyra's arrival and the mere fact that she had not called him up to find out what was the matter was proof to him that she suspected that something was wrong with that invitation somewhere. One thing about it—he acknowl- cdged to himself—it there was a rimmage Natlee Jones would come out on top—with his mother a poor second. He wished he could tell Natlee all about she was so clever—he would like to get her advice on the dubject—she always gave him such good counsel—she had kept him out of numberless scrapes which, thanks to her, he had not even known were scrapes until they were over. He sighed deeply—It was such a Jong while until Tuesday night and this uncertain waiting was getting on his nerves.

At last she persuaded herself that a little flirtation with her could not nurt Phillip—for once, she told her vanity, that whatever he might think now he would in the future come to know when he found the real girl—the right girl—which, of course, meant the girl of his own —that this was only a fantasy of rst dream instead of a ma- she clung to them, Merely Margy, An Awf lly Sweet Girl MONDAY, JUNE 6, | tating step passing her door. 1927, » E and lasting love. be too tlought of the coming dinner dance and decided that she must have & new gown and a new rouge for the occasion. She did not know when sleep came to her wakeful, smarting eyes which were still wide open to greet the rising sun—but she did know that she had slept very late when she heard Phil talking to his mother in the hall “Not so loud, Son,” said Anne Tracy. “You will wake up Mrs. Hilliard. You must remember that you kept her up very late. 8he is not as young as yoy are and natur- ally it takes longer to recover from lack of sleep.” Why, oh why, does Anne always harp on my age? Lyra asked her- self as she heard Phil go stamping down the stairs as if he were trying to wake her. She was glad, however, that she heard him leave a message for her with his mother that he would be at the Ambassador for tea and would ghe meet him there. Before she arose she decjded to do 8o, but when she looked in the mirror she denled herself that pleas- ure, for she realized that after thirty-five a woman must deny her- self late hours and thrills it she would deceive the world into think- ing she was still young enough to enjoy both. She did, however, get away from Anne and spent the whole day in the shops. The short morning buying a new evening dress—and the longer after- noon under the soothing hands of a masseuse. CHAPTER XIII Natlee Surprises Mrs, That night when Lyra went down to the dining room she was sure she was looking her very best and therefora was much disappointed when she found that Phil had phoned he was not going to be home until late. One of his friends was leaving un- expectedly for France with a Can dian regiment and the boys were sending him off with a stag party. Anne looked rather nervous and excited and, finally Lyra drew from her that she was much afraid that America would go into the war and she knew if we did it would be quite impossible to keep Phillip from enlisting. “But he's not 18, Anne. Surely he 3 too yvoung even if we do go in, which I think is very unlikely.” “You evidently do not know, Lyra, that there is a tradition in the Tracy ( family that is quite as unbearable as the one which writes a Roman born son in each generation and that is that Tracy men must follow the flag into America's battles to death if need be.” Anne's voice was a mixture of pride and ancxiety. “In every war in which our flag has been unfurled Lyra a Tracy has fought and many of them have died. “Philllp Wynne Tracy 1V is the last of his line and I know that he will think that he must go."” It was a rather striking story that | Lyra was hearing from Anne's lips. She got an entirely new impressfon of the Tracy men, Up until now she ‘had only thought of them always as susceptible youths, flirtatlous mid- dle-aged rounders, and if they lived to be old men they were always suf- fering from the liquor and love they had imbibed in their youth and lusty middle age. She could hardly bear to think of Phil being one of those who would go to France, for whatever she said to Anne to comfort her, she was| quite certain that it was only a ques- tion of weeks, perhaps days. before the president would declare war and call for troops. Neither woman ate much dinner. Anne was wondering if worst came to worst and war was declared, how long she could keep Phil out of it. And the wild idea had come into Lyra's brain that if Phil did go it would be very easy for her to go over with the Red Cross. She toyed | with the idea of herself and Phillip together in a war-ridden world where human life and human con- duct, except In connection with hu-, , were not respected or even of much account. Pleading that she was tired from her long day’s shopping. and that she had letters to write, she went to her room early. She was awakened somewhere near daylight by a hesj- She thought nothing of it until she went down to breakfast where she found Phillip’s mother with unmistakable signs of weeping upon her face. When she asked her what she had been crying about she was answered with another question. “Did you hear Phillip when he | came home last night, or rather this morning’ “Yes, now that vou ask it, I do believe T heard someone stumbling down the hall.” “That was Phillip. T am sure he was under the influence of liquor. But when 1 opened my door and accused him of it he denied it but added. ‘What it T am? I have been spending the evening as a man with other men. Surely, Mother, | vou do not intend to keep me tied to your apron strings all my life. | Go to bed. Mumsy, and don't worry about my goings-out or my comings- in in the future. “‘There will be something more think." “I followed him to his room, Lyra, but he fairly shut the door in my face and would say no more. “Do you suppose that he has learned pome authentic information in re; to our going into the war? You know that friend of his has been in Canada with the British for quite a while.” Either that or he has come to some definite conclusion about him- self and me, Lyra thought. She grew a little frightened as she began to think of what the next few days might bring forth. Phillip slipped out while the two women were in the dining room and again was absent at dinner. He sent word to his mother after luncheon that he had gone for a day or two to the Canadian training camp, but would surcly be home for the party. Sure enough, about 4 q'clock Tuesday afternoon, after his mother had worried herselt sick and pre- pared to call up his guests and tell them the dinner was postponed, he made his appearance as if nothing out of the unusual had happened. He was somewhat paler than usu- al, however, and managed to get Lyra alone long enoush to say to her: “I am looking for a big smash- up of some kind tonight, but wheth- er it comes or not, please, dear, manage to meet me before the house, where I will have the car parked, after Mother is . sleep.” . “Oh, Phillip, will that be pru- dent?” He looked at her strangely. *T never stopped to think of that. Be- ing prudent is something that my male ancestors didn't think very much about, if the history that I hear about my family is true, and I am not going to do anything to change the records.” “What's happened, asked. “Nothing has hapened yet, but I am expecting a bombardment to be- gin tonight. Will you give firat aid to the wounded, Lyra?"” Mrs. Hilllard heard Anne Tracy coming from hef bedroom and nod- ding her head she sped to her own to dress. Anne had arranged to have the young people meet at her house, and when Lyra went down into the drawing room at 7 o'clock she found her friend looking very dignified and grand in black brocaded chiffon velvet and all her diamonds on dis- play. Phil was just exclaiming at the splendor of his mother's jewels as she opened the door and she heard Mrs. Tracy say “I do not think that I ever wore them all together before in all my life.”” * Later she confided to Lyra: “Nearly every one of these pieces of jewelry means & separate tragedy to me, for always when my husband had done something particularly atroclous—when his llaison witlf some other woman had become more than usually acute or he was afraid it had or would shortly come to my ears, he brought home to me a plece of jewelry. “I got 80 that I could tell by their probable value how much he con- sidered he had injured me.” Without her volition Lyra's eyes strayed to a magnificent tiara that crowned Anne’s lovely dark hair. “] see you are looking at my tlara,” she remarked. “I have never worn it before in my life. Two days after Philllp presented it to me he was namei corespondent in the divorce of Eileen Lawler, the ac- tress. Surely you remember it. Tt filled the papers. That time he wanted me to divorce him, but we had only been married six months and I would not, for, strange as it may seem, T still loved him. “I am wearing these diamonds, | however, so that all the young women who will be at this dinner tonight may see what will some time come to the wife of Phillip ‘Wynne Tracy IV."” ‘Have you picked out the girl you want to tempt, Anne?” Lyra asked sarcastically. “No,” answered Phil's mother, who was in deadly earnest, “but any one of the girls I have invited would make a suitable wife for my son.” Before Lyra could ask the ques- tion that was in her mind, Jerry Kenyon and Lucia Randolph enter- ed. followed closely by Luella Carr and Jack Kilgore. Luella sald when she greeted Mrs. Hilliard: “Jack was so crazy to get | here to see you that he insisted upon starting much earlier than was necessary. You see, Mrs. Hilliard, | he had made a bet with me that you would be dressed in some sort of gold ‘ace affair and T told him that you would be wearing flesh-colored | chiffon or something equally girl- | ish.” “Well, you win,” sald Young Kil- gore, sulkily. “I wear 834,” she informed him. “Oh, T know that. You have man- aged some way to make me buy your stockings for the last six months.” He turned to Mrs. Hilliard, saying: “I hope you will pardon Lou and me for making you the subject of our bet. If it will help you to be kind and not scold us, I must say that neither girl in this room is as young and beautiful tonight as you are in that flesh-colored chiffon.” “That is worth more than forgive- ness, Mr. Kenyon.
