In a twinkling Emmy was down on the ice READ THIS FIRST: Over the poverty and discontent in the little yellow house broods a mother's love, which transmutes the " ‘dingy home to a palace of love and beauty. Emmy, the only daughter, 1s disappointed with her surround- ‘ings, envious of her wealthy rela- tives, eager to lcave. There is qulet, hard-working Robb, who loves her. but who represents to her only a moneyless, boring future. She de- cides to get away from dingy Flow- | er atreet and live her own life, in a little apartment of her own, where she ean entertain as she likes. Mrs. Milburn, after a talk with her hus- band, decides to ask Uncle Bill Parks, who owns the house, if he will give it to them, since they have paid rent for twenty-five years. Uncle Bill says to wait until he feels enough to get down town to | his office. He will then decide. Mrs. Milburn discovers her husband has taken Dan, the son, about fourteen years old, to a pool room. Emmy decides to give a lunchcon for some girl friends at the little yellow house. Her father promised to pay for anextra woman to serve, but he did not come home all nig: Charlie Milburn had been drink and came home during the gir party, much to the embarrassment ¢ Emmy and her cousin, Mari- anna. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XVI On the afternoon before Thanks- giving, while Emmy was running scales up and down the old piano, Marianna came into the house. She was in a kind of mourning and it was very becoming to her. . . . A slender black tube of a suit with three fresh white gardenias pinned on one shoulder. A knowing litte dlack hat drawn down over the sleek blue-blackness of her hair. A atring of pearls around her pers. “I've been staying in the house with Grandmother almost every day for three weeks,” she complained briskly to Emmy, “and I begin ‘o feel like the tail-end of a hard win- ter. I'm absolutely ga-ga.” Slany somehow never sounded like slang ‘when it rippled off the end of Mar- anna's tongue in the beautiful voice she had brought home with ne: from & Hudson River boarding achool. “I brought my red tulle dress to Aunt Rosy to mend for me” she went on. “Some clown tore it en Nis sleeve buttons when I was danc- ing with him at the club on Hat- lowe'en night.” Marianna always brought her fine things to Mrs. Milburn, who mendea and pressed them in return for tha half-worn garments that she pre- sented to Emmy from time to time. “How would you like to go out to the rink and skate for an hour or neck. | Square silver buckles on black slip- | s0, Babe?” she asked as she tossed her armful of scarlet tulle and sil-| ver lace down upon the top of the | plano, “Grandmother says ‘thumbs| | down’ on parties till the first of the year, and I suppose she's right. But it's awfally hard on e to have te | | sit around the house all day, doing | | nothing—and it's gloomy too. Grand- { mother cries about Uncle Bill al |day long. She's just crushea, | Emmy.” | “Well, of course, he was her brother,” answered Emmy, thinking | of Perry and Dan. | | “Come on, Babe, let's get out! I'n | have the blue jeebies if I don't work | 6tf some of my stored-up pep pretty | soon!" | | She certainly had the electric| quality called “pep.” She was falriy | ith it s afternoon. s. It dancea | in her narrow she and Emmy went out to the gray coupe | that waited at the curb. It vibrated | in her voice as she spoke: “Well, | ! Big parade! The gray car rolled smoothly over | the rough pavements and turned | into Euclid avenue. It was a dull | | cold day with a light fall of snow | | covering the ground. gray | | Louses and buiidings made Emmy| ink of the back-drop for some | melan tage pla But ianna sparkled like fiv o'clock of a bright summer morn-| ing. She was brimming with gossip, { too, | “I reckon things are getting ‘o be | pretty serious with Perry and Lovey Sinclair,” she said, just missing a | street car. “Lovey stopped to see me the other and she was on her way down town to mect him and | have dinner. She said she'd get | married tomorrow if he would.” “Good grief, what would Perry marry on?" Emmj's gray-hlue eyes were very wide between their thick black lashes. “Why, he doesn't, make twenty-five dollars a week, and hes going to college!” “That's what 1T told her” sald Marianna, simply. “But you know Lovey. She's always had every little thing her heart desired, and she can't see why she can’t have Perry. She told me he could move into her house. Her people are down in White Sulphur Springs for a month. . . . Emmy, it would be perfectly terrible if they did get married!” “Perry never would do it.” Marianna did not seem so sure of that. “You don't know Lovey the way I do,” she dald, drawing her straight black brows togetner. “When she really wants anything she’ll move heaven and earth to get it. And if she wants to marry Perry as much as she thinks she does, he's as good as married now. She's a regular go-getter. I know —T've played jacks and basketball and tennis and bridge with her ever since we were babies. T know!" A vision of Lovey, small and blue- cyed as a Persian kitten, flashed across Emmy's mind for an instant. It seemed imposcible that anyone who looked as helpless as Lovey looked could be the kind of girl that Marianna sald she was. “Of course, on the other hand, it might ke a very good thing for Perry,” Marianna’s voice ran on. “Mr. Sinclair would probably take Lim into the business—" “But Perry doesn’t want to go into the soap business,” Emmy cut {in. “He wants to keep on with his drawing, with his black-and-white stuff.” Marianna shrugged her shoulders. “Well, that's a nonsensical thing to want to do. He'll never miake any money drawing pictures,” she sald, with fine scorn. She turncd her car into East Boulevard and parked it neatly in a row of other cars outside the skating rink. “T suppose you ecan imagine why I wanted to come out here this afternoon, can't you?” she asked with a dry little laugh, There was something secret and yet curiously candid about the smile that she flashed at Emmy, and Emmy began to feel vaguely un- comfortable. S8he never could get used to the frankness with which Marianna discussed her frequent and harmless love affairs. To Emmy love was something between just two p-ople; something that you kept close in your heart. And 80 she was half ashamed for Marianna. She was in love now, it secemed. “There's an instructor out here, and he's right-smart looking,” she told Emmy, with perfect frankness. “I've taken two lessons from him lately—whenever I could get away from Grandmother—and he's really teaching me to skate at last. T can g0 a few feet ali by myself now!" She threw back her head and laughed. She had been a good skater most of her life, and prob- ably could have taught the instrue- tor a trick or twy worth knowing. Emmy did not yugh with her. fhe knew that Marianna would stop at nothing when she wanted to at- tract a man, and sometimes her mettods were 80 cheap! It was hard to reconcile Marianna's cheapness with her beauty and her pride where most things were concerned. “I didn’t want to come out here alone again,” she added as they went into the checkroom with their coats. “T thought it would look bet- ter i you came along.” Just why she had thought that, Emmy couldn’t see for the life of her. For the minute she had strapped her skates on she sped away on the smooth ice in search of her latest flame. Presently Em- my caught a glimpse of her with a stocky young man in a white sweat- er turned up around his face and auburn hair. 8he seemed to be hav- ing & beautiful time with him, and she was skating slowly as if she were just learning. Emmy swept around the rink two or three times. She liked to skate but she wished she were out of doors. She thought suddenly of Grand River, frozen and glistening between snowy banks. Robb and she had cooked bacon and eggs and fried potatoes over a little fire and two of them. She had missed Robb these last four or five weeks. The longer he stayed away the more she missed him. And wasn’t it foolish of him to stay away from her simply because she had told him she didn’t want to j marry & poor man? . . . There was no real reason why they shouldn't have gone on being friends just as they had been, she told herself. Someone tall and broad, flashing past her, caught the point of his skate in hers, and in a twinkling Emmy was down upon the ice. The great glass-domed room seemed to Whirl all around her with the skat- ers. The lights seemed to come crashing down upon her head like falling stars. . . . And then hands were slipped un- der her shoulders. They lifted her up, set her on her feet again, still holding her firmly. Bhe found her- self looking into a lean dark face that reminded her a little of Robb's face — because she had just been thinking of Robb, perhspa. But this man was taller Robb, and he was dressed much better than Robb ever had been dressed in all his life. His &uit was gray, and his shirt and col- lar and his tie were blue—not the | crude dark blue of Robb's working shirts, but a nice blue. And, whether it was Emmy's im- | agination that turned the trick or | not, his voice sounded like Robb's | voice when he spoke to her: “I'm sorry. Are you hurt? Would you like to go over here to the side and sit for & minute? I skated too close to you. I was watching you instead of looking to see where I wes going, I'm afraid.” “8o you're the person who knock- ed me down!” Emmy cried. *T | scarcely knew what struck me—all I could see for a second was stars!” | She laughed. They both laughed {as they stood there together bal- anced on thelr skates facing each other, “We're in the way of all these people,” the man who made her | think of Robb said, and they start- ed off together once more. It seem- ed the most natural thing in the world to do. 8She hegan to look for Marianna in the throng of skatcrs, 8he looked everywhere, but the black turban and white gardenias were nowhere in sight. “My cousin—T don’t see her,” sh murmured, half under her breath. Perhaps Marianna had gone to the | checkroom for the wraps. It was half-past four—almost time to start home. “The girl who came in with you? 8he's gone,” the man sald. *“She 'went off the ice ten or fifteen min- utes ago. 8he went with the man she was skating with, leave together,” He had seen her come in with Marianna then? . . . He had had his eyes on her all the afternoon? “Good-bye,” she sald to him when they had glided up to the seats around the edge of the great artificlal pond. 8he began to takc off her skates. “If your cousin’s gone, my car's outside. I'll take you home,” he told her as he unstrapped them for her. Emmy shook her head in its dove- gray hat that matched her eyes— quite by accident, for it had been Marianna’s hat in the beginning. “No, thanks,” she answered: “but I'm sure I'll find her in the dressing ‘than very ! 1 saw them had had a winter picnic. Just the; room, Good-bye again.” Marianna was not in the dressing room with its crowd of flushed and pretty giris, all crowding up to the mirrors to powder their noses and paint their smooth young lips that did not need paint any more than wild roses need paint. Marianna was not waiting outside the long low white building, either. Her gray car was gone. Emmy stood blankly gasing at the empty space where it had been parked. Marianna had left her—flat, (TO BE CONTINUED) Automobile Collisions Reported Over Week-End An automobile owned and driven by Arvid Thorwaldsen of 33 Vega street and a car owned by Adolph Ziering of 32 Sheffleld street and driven by Fred Ziering of the same address, sideswiped each other on Stanley street about 10:15 Saturday night, doing slight damage, accord- ing to report of Sergeant J.
