NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1928 SWEETHEARTS By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON Author of “My Son’s Sweethearts,” “Confessions of a Wife,” Etc. Copyright, 1928, by Central Press Association, Inc, READ THIS FIRST: Lynda Fenton, a singularly inno- cent girl, is private secretary to Ralph Armitage, who has an insane wite. Her father, a drunkard, tells her that her mother deserted them, and that all women have their price. Lynda meets Emily Andrews, who cherishes a secret fondness for David Kenmore, Lynda's companion trom childhood. Emily plots against { Lynda from the very beginning. Da- vid tells Lynda he loves her, but she decides she doesn’t want to be in love with any man. David is away on a trip. Lynda's father deserts her, and Claire Stanhope comes to live with her, and Ralph begins to think of Lynda, Emily Andrews sends David an anonymous note, saying ‘“Ralph | Armitage is rushing your gif.”| David writes to Lynda, admonish- | ing her to beware of Ralph Armi-| tage. It stirs her ire, and turns her | thoughts to Ralph. | Ralph meets with an accident, and Lynda goes to his home to take dictation, There he holds her h\md\ nd gaina her sympathy, and when | she bends and kisses him in simple | innocence, he terminates the session. That night, however, he sends for Lynda and Claire to come and visit | him, and the next day he comes to | the office in bandages, Pamilla Sheston phones and questions Lyn- da, just as Ralph comes in, He or- ders Lynda to hang up. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXVI Ralph Finds Something New “Go out to the telephone desk | and ask Wilson to come here, Ralph Armitage told Lynda. “T want him to move me over in reach of the phone. Pamilla will be call- ing up again in a minute, and I will answer her mygelf.”” Lynda went out and brought Wil- son back. and Ralph's great leather chair was pushed nearer to the phone, which had begun to ring again. Lynda, at her employer's request, took down the receiver and held it to his right ear, as Wilson left the room. “Yes, Pam, this is Ralph talking. What do you want?” Lyn was near enough to hear her strident voice at the other end of the wire. Pamilla was saying: *“Why didn’t you send me word to come and see you? I had always thought, in fact you told me, that no woman was allowed in your home unless she was specially in- vited by your father, 50, of course, I stayed away. But Hal told me yes- terday that he met a young woman there, and you had evidently invit- ed her to luncheon.® Ralph answered: “It was my secretary. T had to answer some important mail. I told Hal that I did not want to see any- | one. I don't want to be bothered by any kind of spurious sympathy, and certainly, Pam, you must realize that a dislccated shoulder and three broken ribs are not conducive to ardent love making, or even feeling llke making it." “But Ralph, you can't have been | hurt so very badly, as you are down | to the office now. I'll come over | and see you there.” “Can’t you understand, Pam, that a man has to get to his business s soon as possible, even if he must forego the pleasure of social calls| from his feminine friends. I cannot see you this morning. 1In fact, I don’t know when I will be able to see you. As soon as possible 1 will | write you, but don't expect a letter very soon, for my right arm is strapped down at my side.” Lynda's mouth quirked up a little at the corners, for she remembered in the note he had sent her the night before he had said that he had learned at college to write, after a fashion, with his left hand. Whatever Pamilla Sheston re- turned in answer to this was not audible to Lynda, but it evidently made Ralph angry, for with an “Yes, Pam, this is Ralph talking. What do you want?” Murdered Raditch, Look Forward to a United Peasantry. love we of have to wear form, Arrested fn Eivanston, Illinois ugly exclamation, he satd: “I don't care what you do. Amuse yourself any way you please, even to putting on a petting act on Fifth avenue at four o'clock in the afternoon.” With this he hung up, and turned to the girl beside him “I expect you are very tired hold- ing that receiver to my ear for so long.” Lynda was not as tired as she was embarrassed to have heard the conversation, but she knew of no way of getting out of it. She was | greatly relieved, however, when she | saw Ralph's face brighten, and his | Jips smile as he turned his head to- ward her, “I wonder,” he said, as if to him- self, “what that woman would think it she knew that all the time she was talking to me, you were hold- | ing the receiver to my ear, and that 1 could feel the warmth of your hand where you held my head | ugainst it?” “Well, that's that,” he continued, and apparently dismissed Miss Pam- illa Sheston and her affairs from his | mind, then and there. “Come over on the left side and sit on the wide arm of this chair again, Lynda. Do you know why 1 made this torturing drive down here today 7" “No, Mr. “It was because I knew 1 could not wait until Wilson would drive Fere and bring you back to me.” The girl did not speak. cheeks became pinker. She had moved on the hroad arm of the leather chair where she could look at him, and her purple eyes seem- ed wells of youthful expectancy. He suddenly felt much ashamed | that he had been talking to Pamilla | Sheston in her presence. It was as if he had hurt her in some way. “Lynia, Lynda, what have you done to me?” he asked. “Why am 1 | restless and unhappy when I cannot | look at you, cannot hear your| voice? Do you know that you have changed my whole outlook on life since 1 saw your black satin head bent over the typing machine out there in the office?" “Are vou a little delirious, Mr. | Armitage, or do you always talk to | Armitage Personals Eva Raber of Farmington avenue | will spend the next two weeks at | Oak Blufts.

During that period it was a matter | of following the crowd. The ticket, which read “Passage to and from the dancing and eating boath,” cost 25 cents. The sale of {only round trip tickets is one of the many considerable gestures of the Johanna Smith operators.

New Haven Aug. 13 (®—Two drownings, two suicides, one acci- dental death, several serious motor vehicle accidents and a fire in which firemen were overcome, marked the week-end in Connecticut.
