, . What Miss Johnstone had to say
to John Ingate was very brief:
.""I shall be unable to meet you tor

. Eve quickly put down the tele
phone Instrument, ashamed of her
offense. . ' When : she ; could do so
without appearing suspicious, she
stole ; furtive" glances around the
office, to make sure no one : had
; vatched her.'. ; ' . '. ' ?
She was rery. uncomfortable
when she was back ' at her desk.
Such a thins; as she had done: The
very , thins she bad made " Mary
fcullivan suffer for only the day be

on John- IngateV telephone cqn-versatlons.-?
Her conscience .'hurt

" When John Ingate went out a.
little after; 1 o'clock she noted
'that he was unrbavcn and not as
reat as she would have expected
hUn to have been under the dr
immstanceaV gurely be wasn't go
ing to meet Miss Johnstone look
ing like that. .' She wondered
where they would hare lunch. The
Grand Central hotel or the club?
Her eyes were all for him as he
pause'd at Mary. Sulllran'e desk to
say something to the secretary. .
4 After he' was: gone 'there came
to her. the realization that she was
allowing her thoughts to dwell too
much, upon John. He meant noth
ing to her now; . . . Only VJr1,3 j
No, he mean t nothing, to hr." She
bent resolutely overTier w-orki A
V-The home ( problem: was solved
that afternoon. Near quitting time
a girl whom she knew hut slight'
ly, Owen LacheuBlaughter. came
orer to Eve's desk.' "Are you look-
ing for a place to lire?" ---:
"Why, yes. : y " " '
'"Well, my father; has 'a vacant
apartment furnished. - f- It's on
English streets If you have time
youN conld look at it on the way
home. ,1'H go with yony Every
member of Ms family helped Emil

renting apartments., houses and
stores. - - - j " , - .
t-jThe apartment appealed to Eve
immediately..' .It had. one , large
room, with in-a-door bed a kitch
enette, a breakfast nook and bath!
it was 'located second floor back
with : a most nnattractive view, of
dirty back, porches', but. that was
why the rent was only 50 a month.'
English street was a responsible
looking thoroughfare, and It was
near Main -ttfeet; making It un
necessary to depcnd'on street can
for transportation. - -The furnish
ings left much to be desired, but
3'Qu 'couldn't have everything for
$50 a month. " - ?
"111 have to falklo mrVusband
about it." Eve announced. "I iike
"There may be some one else In

month's rent have a place.' Yob

"Yes, I understand Bhe-on-sidered
a moment.'- She 'mustn't
take chances on losing this. Only
fifty dollars'. fVerywell, 111 take
It.' , Eve gave the girl a check on
the bank account which represent
ed her "hope chest", savings,! and
went proudly away with the key,
bursting to tell the news to Clay.
, : '. . and , let's go , over ; this
evening and clean it ep," she said,
In completing the lengthy account
she gave him. " , -i
"Why,- I was going lover" to
Charlie, Ray's this evening JHe's
having a little party. I knew you
wouldn't mind." ? "A -tfJL L i
Eve's face suddenly sobered.
She did mind. , He might have
Bald something about this before,
or at least asked her what her
plans were ; before making the
engagement. . ..J. s -.y
- "Gee, dear, don't you want me
to go?" .
"Of course I do," sfce managed
a smile. '"Yes, go and enjoy your-

Eve did not -reply. 'Her lips
were .pressed ; very tightly : as she
saw him out at the door at 7:50.

of Mrs. Wales brooms and a bot

had insisted on this. Ton don't
know what the other people have
left you, he laughed. . , '
But Eve stayed at the place
ess than an hour. She got scared
after a while, alone in the vacant
rooms although 4 the lights were,
all on. . Every noise suggested 'a
danger.' ' Because'' of this she
missed h Clay terribly, and went
home, brooding .over his absence.
Ciay came In from the "party"
at 2 o'clock. . Eve was awakened
when he crawled . In ..the bed be
side her,' and. her eyes-fell upon
the 'clock,. Illuminated by a beam
of light entering from the hall. ,
"Why, honey, you're awfully
late," she said sleepily.
"Oh, not so late." n
As he spoke to her, his mouth
was very close to hers. Eve sat
u p abru ptly her senses suddenly
aroused: - "Clay! i!Youve v been
drinking." .
"No. I haven't.".
"Why, Clay, 'you're lying to

v It was Leonard. Merrick speak
ing, and in phrases as, fraught
with sincerity as we might be led
to expect from a novelist 'who.
knowing quite well that his fame
had. preceded him. to assure him
rousing greeting, jret chose to en
ter . America quietly,- . unostenta
tiously avoiding the spotlight's
glare. ' , . ; ' - .
. Mr. Merrick, on the last lap of
his "Sentimental, Journey," as he
dubbed this visit to - the States,
slipped down the .gangplank - un
der the very noses of inquiring re
porters, and' but for bits of news
that have, occasionally leaked into
the ' papers we might not even
have suspected . his presence
among us. ' - v . .
- But ; by his' works ' Is a ? man
known. And .Leonard Merrick Is
a-, friend made near, and familiar
by close -association with the chil-
dren of his JiearL.and brain!.' The
characters he has created are be

By his "Man Who . Understood
Woman" alone would Mr. Mer
rick ' hare established his claim
to distinction the story is -such
definite proof that Man, didn't-
and never will plumb the depths
of feminine nature. ''Does4 Man
Understand Man?" we asked Mr.
Merrick, r; r-. ;
1 "Well perhaps Man runs truer
to form, and that -enables his own
sex to ; better gauge : his emotions
and - reactions.' said Mr, Merrick
and smiled. "For instance, a man
is as. old as he feels, and he feels
young as of ten as he falls in love."
- ?Mercy,V does this happen
often?" wegasped Mr. Merrick
solemnly looked down hls.noje.-
A man la , never immune rrom
the- love fever, nor does : he ".want
to he? Some men' fall In love be

do it on purpose every time they
