My Dear Warren: I am leaving With the children for Clark's Hille You will know best what steps to take in the matter of the freedom you desire. I will cooperate in any way, I have written Magnie that J will not contest your divorce, If for any reason you come to Clark's Hilla, I will of course be obliged to seo you. I ask you not to come.

Pauline had put the empty room in order—in ter rible and desolate order, “Usually there were flowers In the jars and | glans bowls, a doll's chair by the bed, and a woolly anima! seated in the chair; a dainty Utter of lace scattered }on Rachael's sewing-table, Usually | ehe was there when he came fn tired, to look up beautiful and concerned “Something to eat, dear, or are you | going to Ne down?” | Standing here with the note that ended it all in his hand, he wondered if be was the same man who had #0 often met that Inquiry with an im patient: “Just please don’t bother me, dear!’ Who had met the suc coeding question with, “I don’t know! whether I shalt dine here or not!” It was halfpast three. In an hour he would see Magsie. In that hour Magsio had received she had set some enormous ma chinery in motion, and was not quite sure of how it might be controlled. But on the whole, complacency un deriny all other emotions, She was going to be married to the richest 4nd nicest and most important man of her acquaintance! At heart, however, her manner be lied her; Maguie had little self-cont- dence, She lived in a French girl's terror that youth would leave her before she had time to make a good match, If nobody knew better than Mageie that she was pretty, alse no body knew better that she waa not clever, Men tired of her dimples and wiggles and round eyes, Bryan Maw ters admired her, to be sure, but then Bryan Masters was also a divorced man, and an actbr whose popularity was always on the wane, Richie Gardiner admired ber in his pathetic, hopeless way, and Richie was yeung andrich, But Magnie shuddered away | from Richie's coughing and fainting; his tonics and his diet had no place in her robust and joyous scheme of life.

She had called on Mag: sie, entertained the young actress, and the two had discovered a certain jatlinity. Magsie was delighted to see her now. They greeted each other af- \fectionately, and Magsie, sending out her tray, settled her comfortably in her pillows, and took the inter- ested Carol entirely into her confi- dence, with the single reservation of Warren Gregory’s name. “Handsome, and rich as Croesus, and his wife would divorce him, and helongs to one of the best families,” summarized Billy. “Why, I think you would be a fool to do anything else! “S'pose I would,” dimpled Magsie in interesting embarrassment. “Have a heart, and tell who it is!” teased Carol, slipping her foot from her low shoe to study @ hole in the hee! of her silk stocking. “Oh, I couldn't!" Magsie protested. “Well, I shall guess, if I can,” the other woman warned her. And pres- ently, she added: “I'll tell you what, if you do give it up, I'm going straight to Bowman, and ask for your place in your new show! There's nothing about it that I couldn't do, and I believe he might give me a chance! I'll tell you what: you wait until the last moment be- fore you tell him, and then he can’t be prepared in advance, And I'll risk having Jacqueline make me a couple of gowns, and be all ready to jump in. I'll learn the part, too,” said Billy, kindling; “you'll coach me in it, won't you?” “Of course I will! Magsie agreed, but she did not say it heartily, The conversation was not extremely pleasing to Magsie at the moment. She loved Warren, of course, but it was certainly a good deal to resign, even to marry a Gregory of New York! Why, here was Billy, who had been a rich man's daughter, and had married the man of her choice, and had a nice child, mad to step into her shoes! And it was a painful reflection that probably Billy could do it. Billy was smart, she had a dash and finish about her that might well catch a manager's eye, and more than that, it was rather a poor part. It was no such part as Magsie had had in “The Bad Little Lady.” ‘There was @ comedian in this cast, and a matl- nee idol for a leading man, and Mag- sie must content herself with a part and a salary much smaller than was given to either of these. She thought of Warren, and also fleetingly of Bryan Masters, and even of Richie Gardiner, and decided that it was a bitter and empty world, and she wished she had never been born, Bowman would be smart enough to seo that he need pay Billy almost no salary, that she might be a discov- ery—the discovery for which all man- agers are always so pathetleally on the alert, and that in case the play failed—Magsie was sure, this morn- ing, that it would be the flattest fail ure ever seen on Broadway—he would have no irate leading lady to Jersey Top Petticoats — —Of very good qual- ity mercerized jersey, with fancy silk flounces, in checked, fects.
