THIS HAS HAPPENED Mildred Lawrence falls in lova with Stephen Armitage, who is lured away by Pamels Judson when she tellg him Mildred is trying to marry her brother, Harold, for money, Harold fears Huck Connor, who is blackmailing him over a forged check. Huck is infstuated with Pa- mels, and when she announces ner el ent to Stephen, rrames him for the theft of an auto and causes his arrest. Pamela drops Stephen, But Mildred tries to get him out of Jail. Harold had once told her he fear- ed Huck, who had threatened to get rid of Btephen to keep him from marrying Pawela. Nildred de- termines to force Harold to heip her, and is shocked to hear of his death —apparently accidental. She tells Stephen her suspicions, but they have no proof to offer. Finally she goes to Mr. Judson, who takes her to headquarters to tell her story. Judson bails Stephen out and Pamela begs forgiveness. On the way from the jail to the hotel, he narrowly escapes being shot by a thug in a passing taxi. He reporta to Mr. Judson and is horrified to learn that Mildred Hhas been slightly wounded by a gangster shot. His concern over her causes Judsen to doubt his love for Pamela and he forbids his daughter to “buy her man” with his money. S8he reminds him that he had bought her two penniless stepmothers. Convinced that she loves Stephen, her father gives in to her pleading. Next day Pamela takes Stephen out for a “drive” and surprises kim by going to Mildred's home. He yrotests but she insists on his going in with her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLIV Connie flushed angrily at Pa- mela’s request, couched as a ‘com- mand. “Mildred isn't recciving com- pany,” she said shortly, but Pa- mela had moved on until she stood hefore the door of the living room. There she saw the injured girl propped up with pillows in the big arm chair. £he ignored Connie's words completely and walked on into the room. “I'd like to roll you round the block,” Connie thought resentfully. £he closed the door hehind Ste- phen and let him follow Pamela un- announced while she hurried back to her mother to tell her Pawela was there with Stephen.

Pamela was surprisingly sweet to Rer, coming up as she stood uncer- tainly in the doorway and asking about her “broken’ arm. “It was a burn,” Mrs. Lawrence said absently, her eyes on Mildred. She saw that the girl was pals and trembling. Connie #tood by her chair, an arm thrown round her sister's shoulders. Mrs. Lawrence looked at where he &tood awkwardly table, his hat in his hands. “Won't you all sit down?" she said timidly. trying to do as she knew Mildred would like her to in the circumstances. “We haven't Stephen by & but a moment to stay, Mra. Lawrence,” Pamela chirped. “Just wanted to make sure that Milired 1Is recovering from hér wound. Wasn't it dread- fultosh . . .” “Pamela, perhaps Miss Lawrenco doesn't care to have anyone go over the accident.” Stephen broke in hurriedly. He was calling himself a fancy lot of names for failing to warn Pamela that Mildred was Keeping the truth regarding the at- tack mede upon her life from her tamily. Pamela stuttered. then finished smoothly: . . #hoved down the rtairs.” 8he had understood Ste- phen's stress on the word “acei- dent” and she had seen the look of dread that swept over Mildred's face when she spoke of her wound. “It's really nothing at all,” Mil- dred said quickly. Then she lifted 1 sydden s in weather, or expos- ure to a draft makes joints ache, there is always quick relief in Bayer Al:mn. It makes short work of headaches or any little pain.

Perh you would teach me, Mildred,” she added. turning to the girl whose heart was | on the rack. ! “Applesauce,” Connie ejaculated’ to the horror of her mother. Pamela only laughed and mur- mured: “Love d9es such wonders.” “I'm sure I . . .”” Mrs. Lawrence paused, unable to complete the wish for happiness she bhad intended offering Pame'a, Mildred's eyes entreated her. “Let me get you some lemon- ade,” she said huskily and made her escape through the dining room to the Kkitchen where ~she hastily wiped her eyes. It was almost more than a mother could hear, she thought — seeing her chiid's heart break before the happiness of a girl who seemed to take all that the world had to offer for granted. 8he hoped and prayed that Ste- phen wouldn't divine what anguisn his visit and Pamela's was giving Mildred. 8he knew her daughter's pride, and the thought that she had left her t6 fight alone to conceal her pain dreve her to make the lemon- ade in haste. Bhe omitted fhie . thin slices of fruit 4nd did not even both- er to take out the secds. Then, tightening her lips ani &athering up the painted tin tray with the everyday glasses, she made her way back to the living-room. 8he needn’t have troubled to serve the refreshments. With a wave of her hand Pamela declined the lem- onade when it was proffered to her. 8he did not pause in her running! comments even to say no, let alone thank vou. The kick she was getting out of telling Mildred her plans for her wedding and her honeymoon—while it wasn't all that she hoped it would be—was better than anything she could get out of a glass of lemonade. Mildred wasn't reacting the way she had hoped. There wasn't a sign of envy 6n her face. Buffering. yes, hut Pamela couldn’'t be sure that it was not caused by physical pain and the experience Mildred had beerf through the day before. Pamela had hoped to make her wince and writhe. That's what #he had come for—#e shew Mildred that even though Stephen might rush up to see her the very first night he was dut of jail it didn't mean a thing. In fact. she even went sa far, with &tephen standing bhy. to say that she had asked him to make the call. Stephen considered it just a bit of polite social whitewashmg. That it was a knife thrust in Mildred's heart occurred to him no more than it did to quastion Connie's state. ment that Mildred had a sweet. heart, fhe had bean very careful on her visits to him in jail to give tha oc-. casion no mers than a friendly aspéct. Stephen considered her a true-blue ally, loyal and whole. hearted. It wouldn't have surprised him te learn that many men loved her. f He drank his lemonade thirstily grateful for its acid coolness on his parched throat. Why the devil didn't Pam stop her prattling? Couldn’t she sée that Mildred was tired and her mother looked harassed?

But Pamela didn’'t allow anyene | to tell her when it was time to go. | Stephen knew by experience. ““We owe s0 much of this to you,” Pamela was running on, having seat- ed herself on the edge of chair she *“I must send you something from | Africa.
