I The telephone was ringing when
i Constance came into the hall, i '
"It's ' Van!" a breathless voice
! said. "Rosalind and l are on our
way to New York and Bermuda 1"
She heard Rosalind's merry
laugh. How good it was; to hear that
I again! So they were together.,.,
-i "But how when. . . j" 4
! Rosalind spoke. Her happy voice
i broke. ."I'm wearing in old white

smiled. "Don't worry about her
'anymore. She's with Van. They're

They sounded awfully happy. Wake

Connected with a cleaning and
pressing establishment at Salem.
They were married at Vancouver
Saturday. They were accompan

Virgil.
: Mrs. . Tucker, who, taught at
Erush Creek a year ago, will con
tinue to teach at North San

again.- Be happy with me because I
have everything--1 have my hus
band again." I
Ruth's eyes fined. "I am bappy
for her. Nina Howard called last
night I think she'd like us all to be
friends. I think she'd rather have
us and Rosalind and see her son
happy than not have us and see her
Son drink his youth away. And that
makes good sense. But Rosalind will
be coming' home and you 11 be leav
ing, Constance." !
"111 always come back to see you
and Father."
"Yes, but . . ." She folded Rosa
lind's letter and went into the next
room, leaving the sentence unfin
ished. !
Constance thoueht. "She means
that she is sure of Rosalind's tomor
row but not sure of mine. She means
she can look into Rosalind's future
and that it's safe but I have mine
to make with Gordon and we dont
know what it will be. He told me
not to worry about his debts."
Alex and Irene Conant were due
to arrive Saturday morning. And
on Saturday morning Constance
wore a blue silk dress and a small
beige hat with a brim. When she
drove ' into 1 the driveway of. the
Spanish house and parked the old
roadster behind the Conanta gaudy
yellow phaeton, sbe saw them with
Gordon on the terrace with tall cool
drinks in their hands. She had a
moment of trepidation.
"I'm a small' town girl and rve
been nowhere and they are rich,
worldly people. They'll wonder why
Gordon chose me. If they knew his
first wife, they'll compare me with
her." Lisbeth Shelley. ... In the
book Gordon had covered his mar
riage ! in vague tern j Because of
her, she wondered? Because he had
not wanted her to know why his
marriage bad failed T But his sec
ond marriage would be different It
would not could not fail.
But walking across; the lawn to
them, she knew that she did not like
Gordon's friends. Stupid, silly per
haps to judge so quickly out some
how she knew that her first impres
sion was irrevocable.
- Irene Conant wore her pale hair
fa a rc around her smafl head. She
had large perfect teeth, a U tiling
smile, and shrewd,' restless blue
eyes. She wore a white flannel nit
and a blue scarf held together at ber
throat by a diamond pin. Nervously
she flicked the ashes of her dffaret
on the lawn. When she saw Con
stance, her eyes mored quickly from
Constance s high-heeled white Eb sen
sandals to the top of the am aU beige
bat.: I . .--swj.
Alex Conant had sandy hair, pale
blue eyes without spirit and a weak
mouth usually twisted into an easy
smile. He waa tall and large, like
Gordon, his white suit accentuated
the deep tan of his'Iaee.
When .Constance reached them.

' Irene crossed her slender brown
legs, teemed back in the white chair,
and looked up. Instantly her daa
zunc smile waa set. I Alex's effort
less grin broadened; and a little
spirit came to s auu eyes. r

he said. His voice was thick. Lift-
ng the tall cool drink, he looked at
Constance. "Here's to you and lots
of luck."
Irene did not pick up her class.
Coolly she said, "How do you do,
Miss Darby? Or Constance." Her
eyes narrowed at Gordon. Sbe
spoke in a drawling, husky voice.
We wondered what you were up to
here. We said that only a girl could
keep yon away from the bright;
lights so long. But when yon said
you had a surprise, I was wondering;
if yon were going to exhibit a prize
ear of corn." s
Alex said, "IH go in and fix you a
drink, Constance."
When be left Constanee sat op
posite Irene Conant and. wondered
what to say to this woman with;
restless scheming eyes and a bril
liant mechanical smile and hard,
voice. - r - -j
But Gordon spared her by ask
ing, "You havent told me what yon
and Alex have been doing? Or have
you, as usual, been doing notAingi -Have
you seen Helene and Boris?
Where did Else go this summer?"
We've just come from putting
my boys in school. Ive had them
with me all summer and I'm ex-.
hausted, posi tively exhausted from
them! I'm glad they're out of the
way unto next June and I told Alex
I simply wouldn't go through an-'
other summep with them. Of course.
he's a darling to them and adores
them as if they were his. 1 Helene
and Boris?" She shrugged. "They
would get married, you know.
Waited five years for her husband
to die and then married and they're
boring each other to death. They're
not at all amusing anymore. Elsa
is between husbands. She divorced
Jerry in Mexico in July and Jerry
is going to marry some terrible per
son who sings in a night club." Pick
ing sp the glass, sbe looked mt him .
furtively over the rim. "Usbeth'a
in New York. She's there per
manently with a new personality
and a flair for giving unusual par
ties.- 1 " " ! v-
Constanee lowered her eyes. Did '
she mean Lisbeth Shelley, Gordon's
divorced wife? Would they meet
again, she and Gordon, when she.
Constance, was his wife? .
Casually Gordon said. "EeallyT
She must have a new personality.
She was such a quiet little person
when : I knew her." He thought. :
"Wont you; stop talking? Why
doesnt Alex come out and stop you? ?
It's confounded rude of yon to talk
about Lisbeth when I've Just told
yoo Constance and I are going to
be married next month.! You've got
a vicious tongue." - , 1- y '
' Irene laughed. "She isnt a quiet
little person anymore! You see her
every where. Her father died. Did
yon know? i And Lisbeth is going
frantically through her inheritance.
She asked about you." '
; Alex came out ithen and gve Con
stance a cool drink and stood next
to her.--- ' r: - - - . --
i In a low voice he said, "I havent
heard you say anything yet "Hasnt
Irene given yea a chance? Let's go
