"MY LOVE IS NEW"
By Iris Bennett
CHAPTER XXI
- Rath Darby was washing vege
tables as Constance came in the
kitchen the following morning and
sat at the white table and cupped
ser chin in her hand.
"Cant yon do that later. Mother?
Pve something to tell you, something
I'm afraid yon aren't going to like
ery much."
"Of course, dear. What Is It?"
She dried her hands and pulled out
painted white chair and sat down.
Her eyes did not waver from the
grave young face opposite her.
Constance touched the hand that
wore the heavy geld wedding band.
"I'm not going to marry Terry.
I'm going to marry Gordon Keith."
And gripped her mother's hand.
"Please try to understand. I love
aim. Dent tell me I dont know

little or much, understanding, being
faithful, giving and taking. . . .
ill be happy when it s over, I
think." Her lips brushed her
mother's face. "I think you under
stand. I'm sorry for getting myself
into this mess when Rosalind s af
fairs are as they are. You've been
through enough.'
Dont try to kid me. There is some
thing wrong." She was standing so
still and her eyes were frightened
and she spoke as if it were a labor
to speak. He nodded. "Bad news?
What is it? Tell me."
She took a deep, tired breath.
Terry, I'm I'm going to marry
Gordon Keith." And paused, think-

I reached Mike Flaherty's camp. In a
i flash of lightning she saw Donna
Flaherty's trim little figure go from
window to window. The shaggy
black and white dog, soaked to the
hide, hurried to the shelter of the
eyes and his jaw sharpened and an
expression she hoped never to see
again in anyone's eyes came to his.
Jerking np her head because that
seemed to relieve the tightness in
her throat, she said softly, "I love
him and he loves me. Last night he
asked me to marry him in October.

But have yon realized what mar

girl in his life and yon probably

Ten must consider all those things."

NEW -YORK, . Dec. : MiPrrSe
leetive baying of rails, utilities,
amusements and specialties help
ed keep - the ' stock., market ' on
balance today despite shaklness
ot - other groups dne to' profit
taking and last-minute "cash"
tax selling.
There was little diminution In
Wall Street's business optimism,
bnt many " traders, ' looking to
the forthcoming lengthy holiday
the . market ' will recess after
tomorrow until Tuesday appar
ently decided' to lighten commit
ments or stand aside to await
the birth ot a new year. Others,
however, collected favorites suf
ficently to offset liquidation.
Anyyg stocks emerging with
pins signs there were a number
of new highs for the year. Loss
es, on the whole, were confined
to fractions.
Several aircrafts continued to
exhibit strength, but most re
treated. Steels and motors were
in arrears after a fairly firm
etart,
, Dealings in the first hour were
the . fastest, dwindling thereafter.
Transfers, totalled 1,400,010
chares against 1,882,?60 the day
before. The Associated Press av
erage of 60 issues was up .2 of
a point at S2.9.
