Copyright, 1928, by Central Press Association, Inec. | By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON | | v/ “Lynda, Lynda, don't go—wait a minute, I can explain.” READ THIS FIRST: Lynda Fenton, a singularly inno- cent girl, 1s private secretary to Ralph Armitage, who has an insam wite, Lynda’s 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 from childhood. Emily plots against Lynda from the very beginning. David tells Lynda he loves her, but she decides she doesn't want to be in love with any man. David travels for Armitage. Lynda's father, too, deserts her, and Claire Stanhope comes to live with her. Ralph Armitage meets with an accident, and Lynda goes to his home on business, where he is enthralled by her innocent ch Next day he tells her that he lov her. Lynda attends June Challer's party, and so does Ralph Armitag Dut Ralph is still an invalid, and spends the evening on a divan. David arrives at the party unbeknown to Lynda, and Emily Andrews subtly t:ads him to a hidden view of Lynda's innocent efforts to make Ralph com- fortable. David sees Ralph clasp her arm, and hears him address her in endearing terms. He rushes in, Ralph vises, then collapses. Lynda spurns David, and he is crushed (NOW GO ON WITH THE 8TORY) CHAPTER XILVI PERFECT STRANGERS A bird called to its mate, very softly, as though he were just trying to see whether she were awake There was a sleepy answer. Soon their morning song was blended with the awakening of another day in busy streets. Still Lynda slept on She stirred uneasily as David stopped at the gate on his way to the office He did not know she lay asleep so near to him. But she did not wake and he passed on With heavy heart, David sauntered along, He wished that Lynda was at his side. He wanted to explain fo her.
