COPYRIGHT 1928 £Y NEA SERVICE INC. THIS HAS HAPPENED Sybll Thorne, home from a ghastly Doneymeen, is living with her moth- or in ‘Boston, Nobody knows Sybil §s married except Mabel Blake and Mabel's fiance, Jack Moore. 8ybil married Richard Eustis in Havana after a five-day courtship at sca. The marriage lasted two weeks. Sybil atter learning of her husband’s un- believable infidelity, returned to Boston with Mabel. Craig Newhall, her old sweetheart, meets her at the pier, but his man- ner is strangely distant, and Sybil ‘wonders if he could know anything of her romance. She is wretchedly unhappy because of her tragic se- cret, and also because of the recent death of her father and the mar- riage of her broeher, Tad, to Valerie West, a frivolous and selfish little debutante. Mrs. Thorne, who is also heart- broken, takes up psychoanalysis at Valerie's suggestion and gets a new outlook on lie. her tantrums, flings from the room because Sybil and Tad seem unap- preciative of her efforts on their | mother's behalf. Mrs. Thorne al- ways apologetic for Val, suggests _that maybe she is going to have a \baby. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY | CHAPTER XXVII | Sybil laughed shortl; “Not a chance” she opined. | *“Valerie wasn't born yesterday.” Mrs, Thorne blushed painfully. “You shouldn’t say things like that,” she reproved her daughter | mildly. *“Who started it?”" demanded Tad, | .and catching her to him, kissed her roughly and laughed at her dis- comfort. “If Mother's got her heart | set on a grandchild, I guess you'll‘ have to get married, Sib.” | Across his mother’s head he winked broadly. “A girl ought to be | willing to do that much for her poor | old mother.” Mrs. Thorne pushed from her. “Freshie!” she murmured in the | fashion of her girlhood and slapped | him with a pink rose, | PR | him gently “:ptember was hot in Boston that Quiet, with hardly a breath uir; and the heat rising in little . s from the cobble stones.

Mrs, Thorne felt the heat[ paintully. “It you'd had sense stay at Wianno!” 8ybil reproached Valerie. “That's right—blame it on me."* “Well, you dragged Mother home. “Oh, of course—it's all my fault.” ‘The girls had stopped speaking, when Valerie decided to visit friends in New Haven. “You'll be glad enough to be rid of me,” she remarked, which was 80 true that Sybil refrained from comment. Tad was to make a western trip on business. “And when I get back,” he de- clared firmly, “Val and I are going POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “Smith’s car looks just as bad as mine does, but the difference is that everybody knows he can afford a better i) (Copyright, 1928, Publishers Syndicate) i w W i i o Out of One Pocket Into Another | enough to to look around for a place of our own. It's an awful imposition— staying here. Val doesn’t realize, of course—but Mother's not so young as she used to be.” It was Sybil who packed his bags and sewed his buttons on and drove him to the station when he went away. Valerie had an engage- ment that evening to play bridge. The next day she was leaving for Connecticut. P It was lonely for Sybil when she and her mother were there alone, since Craig had more or less ef- faced himself, and Sybil was rather avoiding her old crowd. Craig had declared himself quite definitely. I don't like being a footstool,” he told her. “And I'm all through bothering you, Sybil. T guess maybe you've found my protestations an- noying. You know I love you. I'd do anything for you. But So I'm going to drop out of for me. the picture for a while. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” she parried lightly, half glad of the relief of promiscd soli- tude, “So T've noticed,” he “fonder of the other man.’ She wondered if there was significance in the remark. “If there's ever anything I can do for you,” he offered. “Oh, Craig!" she protested, “don’t be silly!” “Well, I just wanted you to know,” he insisted awkwardly. “Any time you want me, let me know.” ctorted, any After that she saw him infre- quently, and missed him more than she had thought possible. Oc- casionally he sent flowers and a box of candied fruits to Mrs. Thorne, who was pleased that he remem- bered her preference. Munching a sugared pineapple or succulent pear she would contemplate Sybil gloom- | ily over her sweet and remark, as usual, that she could go further and fare worse, Once after that Craig took Sybil to a road house. It was the first time she had done anything gay for weeks. She wore a dress of lilac chiffon ang pinned a great bunch of silk violets on her shoulder. little felt hat that matched. Almost all men, she reflected, liked orchid and purple and all the royal shades between. Craig had often told her violet was his favor- ite color. She slipped a long string of amethysts about her neck and fastened gleaming quartz, fash- joned like grapes, in her ears. Across the candle-lit table Craig bent toward her desirously. Tt was nice and cozy, sitting across from each other like that. Impulsively she reached for his hand, and brushed it lightly across her lips. cheek; then gravely lighting a cig- arette, studied her remotely through | clouds of smoke. “Rather nmice, marked idly. “Nice?

Sybil poured his coffee and when he had taken it from her her fin- gers closed softly about his wrist. Then, swiftly, he sought her eyes and held them until she bent, con- tused, to finger her beads. ‘Craig.” She whispered softly. “Do you still want to marry me, Craig?" * He took her hands then, and held them with both of his. “You know I do, dear,” he said.

He held her closely and looked grimly down on the little mauve hat |that nestled on his shoulder. Her eyes, beneath its brim, were wet with tears. But of course he could not know that, nor guess when a big salty drop splashed on ler violets. . And that was the cnd, for a |'while, of their romance, . s s Autumn followed on the heels of | Indian summer; and November was |cold and dreary and gray. Dead |leaves whirled in dusty spirals and a penctrating dampness made Sybil | shiver as she set out one afternoon to call on Mabel at Wester House. Jack was home again and Mabel had her ring now. Not the conven- tional engagement ring at all—but a Qelicate platinum circlet, sct with sapphires. With it she would wear her wedding ring, like a guard. And er Jack would _give her a twin band, set with pearls. Sapphires— diamonds—pearls—it was the very latest idea.

Chil- dren played about their knees, cling- ing to their skirts. They were un- happy, frightened looking children with running noses and ugly, misfit clothing. Mabel looked up from the desk where she sat before a great card in- dex.

Then she saw Sybil standing un- certainly in the doorway, her eyes shifting from one frowsy, wretched creature to another. In a second Mabel had crossed the room, her white clinic apron blowing out be- hind her like & starched sail. She threw her arms around- 8ybil and kissed her on the mouth. “Sybil Thorne!

'‘Are you sure?” I went to the doctor's yesterday. Next May, he says.” Sybil turned, suddenly faint, to- ward the window, and, when Mabel had opened it, she leaned on the sill. Spasmodic dry chokings and horri- ble sounds came from her throat. She threw her arms over her face, to stifle the noise she made. “It wouldn't be so bad—if—if—" She could not say it. There were tears in Mabel's cyes, but Sybil's were hard and dry. “Don't, dear, he cried. “It will be all right.” Sybil shook her head. “It's—it's awful!” she gasped. “I hate him, Mabel—I hate him! His baby. . . ." She stood with her back to the window, and her head against the glass, moving it restlessly. Her cyes were wild and hunted.
