Now, her self twenty, Whitney is returning from a summer in Europe expect ing to be formally engaged to Scott .1 T? 1 A - I I i 1 luai ran. n uuu pa uc is cbmv lished with his law firm and Whit ney has come into Her inheritance they are to be married. She re lates all this to wealthy young Jay1 Nowell, who fell intlove with her in Paris and followed her to Amer ica. Tod not ScottU-meets Whit ney at the pier. He wonders how he can break the news that Scott only four days before married Olivia : Paul. Enroiite to Tod's apartment for lunch, Whitney won ders why Scott didn't 'meet her, but she wouldn't let Tod see that she was disappointed. CHAPTER Vir Whitney smiled at tod and said : "Nice of you to meet me, darlinir, Thank heaven, you weren't out of town, too ... it would have been a dreary homecoming j if you had been." She had a lovely smfle. Clear and direct and sweet. "Yes," said Tod, "that's what I thought. So I stuck around. Tell me about your trip. Was Paris as much fun as you had hoped it would be,! and how is Helena?' He : wondered if ; after today she would ever; smile in quite that same way again. He thought that probably she wouldn't, "Paris was all sorts of fun and nelena is fine. She wants me to visit her this winter in New York. She sent you her love and some fifty-year-old cognac She; said she hoped you'd get to be one f f the most suc cessful young newspapermen' in America." Ij Tod grinned. It had been Helena who had backed hi an up in leaving ! college. She had said: "We're the misfits in this family, Tod. We don't belong. People like jyou and me have I to . work out our own salvations. Mine is living in j New York and writing fashion reviews and going to first nights; yours is getting a job on a Boston newspaper. Youll probably end up writing editorials for the Herald twenty years from now; on the other" hand, you may land on Broadway with a second rate play." ji So far he had simply managed to hang on to a goodj-enough job. And he'd never had any desire to write a play. Or a noveLf But journalism was different . . . and in time there might be another) war. - Whitney brought him hack abruptly " to" pCremont - Street. "What's been happening . here at home? I feel as if I had been gone for years instead of only three months. Did you have a nice sum mer? Tell me about Scott was what she meant, Tell the what he has been doing and if he has missed me. And why isn't he here beside me instead of you. Tod? You're nice. You're sweet and I love you, of course. But ' it's Scott I want, Not you. Tod thought f My God, don't you suppose I know that?" He said, casually enough, his lean, tanned face composed, that he'd had a fair sommer. He'd worked, of course. And it had been hot in town. The - of5ce had been like a boiler room. Btit he'd got out to the farm quite a bit. And down to Mar blehead Neck. He'd got in some good swimming andj quite a bit of ten 1 nis and some sailing. - f ' Whitney thought: "He's- talking all around something.

Just an other young man with an angular jaw and good teeth and close-cut tan hair. Nice eyes of course, and a pleasant ' smile, j She'd always thought of him as' her own age. She realised suddenly that he wasn't. That he was four yfears older. For the first time she thought bf him as mature. Completely adult. The sum mer had done it. Hardened him. Given him a confidence, a casual so phistication that he had ! lacked. But. today this was! overlaid with something else. Som tthing that had to do with her. Star ng at him, she saw. that his face was guarded. That in repose his m uth was grim, his eyes tormented. - She said, abruptly : , "What's wrong, Tod? What has happened?" He didn't look at! her. He said simply: "Well be at my place in -Scott's married, Whit," said Tod, five minutes, Whit. Let's skip it until then." : j ;-. She' started ti speak and then slumped quietly back, her eyes fixed on his profile. Suddenly she knew. Knew that whatever it was it had to do with Scott and her: She said finally, in a voice that sounded curi ously empty: "It's Scott, isn't it?" Tod Nodded TYes, it's Scott,' "Some girl "Let's wait. iL" - ' " She said 1 right," staring straight aheadJ her hands clenched wbitely in her P. -r.- - . . Tod lived on e top floor of a nar i row brick ho3 n Charles Street. There were three rooms altogether. A fairly 1 largns one with narrow easement windows facing the street, a tiny dark kitchenette and -bath along a narrow passageway and a bedroom in the' rear overlooking the basin. Today Jthe front room had been obviously! cleaned and put in order. A card table laid .with a linen cloth and; silver for two stood ia front of a malL wood-burning fireplace.! . i . Whitney walked over to a shabby chesterfield covered with blue rep and sat down. ; She had been here , V. , - . 1 : ' ! Market Flirts With July lop But Backs Down Later; Automotive Shares -Prove Strongest j NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-P)-The stock market flirted today witb the peak prices of the mid-year upswing touched a month ago but bucked away when the go ing became difficult. Finding the July tops a for midable barrier, most shares re linquished part or all of the gains scored in early dealings when i brisk advance carried over from the previous session. ; r Honors for planting the ban ner of the bnll forces at new tops . for the year were re stricted to a few automobile and motor supply shares mainly, in cluding General ; Motors and Chrysler, but late profit-taking cut into the winnings of these groups, too. 1 At the close, moderate losses and ga'ns were rather evenly di vided among the most actively traded shares. Only a minute dis tance away from the summer high point during the noon hour, the Associated Press composite price of 60 stocks at the finish was unchanged at 49.6. The top last month was 50.8. Dealings totaled 1,235,160 shares against 1,075,810 yester day. Peaches Oreron Elbertas. 45-50c early Crawfords. Slappeys 50-60e; early Critwforda fio-tioc; cnarlotte ouooe; Hales 73 85e. ' Pear.

The wine-colored rug had been her sug gestion and the pine bookshelves built across one end of the room. And the old gilt mirror that hung over the scarred white mantel. She pulled off her hat and pressed her fingers hard against her fore head. It felt hot and tight. She said: "Open a window, will you. Tod?" ' ' He opened one and a chill little wind rushed into the room. For the moment it had stopped raining. He said: "There's food in the kitchen. IH go get it." But he didn't. He came over to her and sat down beside her and put his arm around her shoulders. She said: "Well?" "He's married, Whit." Watching the color drain slowly from her face, watching her eyes putting his hand on her shoulder. grow dark and still an4 enormous, he thought: "My God, IVe done it badly. I've made an awful mess of it. Any fool could have told her bet ter than that . . ." . His arm began to shake violently about her shoulders. He - took it away and fumbled for cigarettes. He couldn't look at her just then. If he did . . . if he looked upon the havoc that was taking place in her face, he would have to go and find . Scott, track him down and lay hands on him. Savagely. He wished she would speak. Would say something. Anything. He wished she would cry. He hadn t seen her cry for years but it would be better than this. Just sitting there staring t nothing, her lips looking so white and tortured, lie realized suddenly that, whatever he had expected, it hadn't been anything as final, as irrevocable as marriage. " -.: ' : He said, miserably: "listen, Whit, do you want some brandy! I have some. She shook her head. "No, I'm all right. Or I will be presently." ; , , , (To be continued) . CaprrUM.

Wool in Boston BOSTON, Aug. 24 (AP) (CSDA) An occasional inquiry was being received today on fine western grown wools and on medium fleece wools but sales were very small In volume. A little 12-month Texas wool was moving at around 6- cents, scoured basin, or steady compared with last week. Medium bright fleeces showed a little easing as some holders showed a willingness to shade prices on limited quantitiea. Graded combing bright s to 4 blood fleece wools. were avail able at 30 to 31 cents, in the grease, al though several houses were refusing to consider bids within this range. Stocks & Bond.
