FANNY 8TF.PS OUT
LIKE the rest of the civilized
world Ploiiebbflrre wan chanced
by the World War. Or perhaps II
noiild be more exact Ir say that the
war turned a strong light on certnln
slot? changes and persons, hitherto
in the shadow.
FanillleB with lowly beginnings
bad gradually forced their way up
ward. Those, witb the aid of various
renegades from tho squirearchy
aud a number ot newcomers (out
spokeuly bored wltb the monoton
ous pace ot the old order) combined
about 1915 to form what was known
as' the fast sot. Almost from the
first this group made overtures to
Fanny, and Fanny who liked every
body who liked her, responded en
thusiastically. By the end of 1921 the fast set
haI expanded Into the country club
set, apologised for but Invited to
the larger affairs. By 1925 they
were Included In even the most se
lect dinners without thought of apol
ogy. When Bob Daniels came back
from France tills group welcomed
him as a brother. And It was In
tholr company that Fanny saw so
much of Bob. '
Two things made it reasonably
easy tor Fanny belatedly to sum
mon up courage and dofy her mother-in-law.
David was dosperntely
busy and spent most of his evenings
at the bank: Sheila, the baby, re
cently had started to a now and most
modern kindergarten, which Includ
ed supervised playtime, nature
study and afternoon rambles In the
fields.
Fanny avoided arguments about
where she was to spend her (Iiiys by
taking Sheila to school mornings
and not oomlng homo until time lo
dress for dinner and to put Shells
to bed. When David went out In the
evenings she went out also. - '
Cloughbarre was too small for
Fanny's struggles with her mother-
in-law to go unnoticed. They all
knew Emnv. Frost.. Fenny hod
always been popular with the young
er people, more popular with her
elders than her sensitiveness al
lowed her to realize. There was a
good deal of spoken and unspoken
sympntny ror rauny;,sne mmni bob
lly have found a more Judicious con
fldant than Bob In the very bosom
of the Brownbeck family. She could
trust Bob -ever to repeat anything
she said to him: that was bis strong
est appeal.
But It was absurd to believe thai
Fanny was In lure with Bob Daniels
She probably could not have told

David, In the face ot t strong
temptation to do otherwise, behaved
very well, so well In tact that Fanny
concluded that be was completely
indifferent. This was a little stupid

knew that Mrs. Frost was angry

eaten up with resentment and bitter
chagrin. Mrs. Frost felt herself be

He trusted Fanny absolutely.
When his mother told him dryly
that Cousin Emraellne, Cousin
Edna and Cousin Edward Phllbrlck
had come to ber with the definite
Information that Fanny was seeing
Bob Daniels almost every day. Da
vld said haughtily that he knew all
about It; bis mother might tell the
old hens to mind tbelr own business.
That night he asked Fanny rather
stiffly please not to see Bob Dan
lots alone.
"It's not that 1 mind at all, h
hastened to add, "hut you know
what this town Is."
Fanny promised readily enough.
Bob had become something' of a.
problem. She was glad nf an exensa
not to see him alone.
When Bob Daniels out of a clear
iky had made the outrageous sug
gestion to Fanny that sha go away
with blm, It waa more than half In
hitter Jest, born that moment, out
of his longing and desire. Fanny
was not In love with blm be knew
that. But once tha longing was put
In words It was easy enough to
persuade himself that he conld
make her happier than David could.
Bob honestly saw Fanny as a
lamb led helpless to the sacrifice.
and himself powerless to save her
except by snatching her np and
carrying her to the end ot the
earth. s 1 -..,
Unquestionably he was desperate
ly In lave. He was passionately
anxious to serve Fanny, to protect
and care for ber. Night alter night
be lay awake, magnifying her alight
pln-prlcks Into agonies; torn with
pity, devastated a. his helplessness.
Leila and his children meant noth
ing to him those da:; be never no
ticed his wife's pale cheeks, her
tentative advances. He thought Of
her. It he thought ot her at all, as
strong and sorene and InlmlcaJv1
without human attributes except a
desire to crush to nothingness any
bumptious maggnt who questioned
her command. The truth was Leila
was beaten and terrlhy frightened,
ready to surrender at the slightest
sign of softening from Bob. ' , 1

sold tor cash the grocery store he
had run since his father's death, the
sale to be secret until November 1."
"By that time I'll be gone," Bob
told Fanny. "You'll be free to enjoy
your new friends without the Inflic
tion ot my presence." He waa sulky,
now that Fanny avoided him.' V
"You know that's silly. Only 'l
can't listen to you saying things yon
shouldn't. . Nor can I pretend . In
sympathize with yon for going ot
without a wriril to Leila," said Fanny
severely. Then, fearing she .had
hurt his feelings, she added gently,
"Dear Bob. You know what your
friendship Is lo me. It would huft
me terribly to tarnish It" " -
Bob (lung away from her. Later
In the wock lie Informed her he waa
off on tho 31st. ' ' ', : ; "
' "I've got my trunk packed, ready
to smuggle out of tha house. I'm
driving to New York shipping my
car to Morocco." It waa at a dinner
dance they were dancing together.
Tears came to Fanny's eyes she
hardly knew why. Seeing Bob these
last weeks, combating hla will, was
almost as upsetting as a struggle
with Mother Frost. Still sha would
greatly miss blm. Her life would
be more empty ind colorless than
ever after be was gone.
"You do care for me a little? Fan
dearest, my darling!" Ha had seen
the tears his arms tightened about
her until Fanny could scarcely
breathe.
"I do caro tor you hut not that
way. rieise, Boh, Alice la watcn

He released ber sulkily, took her
back to tha table. It waa halt
empty. He bent over her to whisper
fiercely, "I'll see yon before I go."
This waa the 29th. The XOtb
passed, the 81st. Fanny lunched at
the Country Club, played golf after
wardno sign of Bob.
Driving home alona Fanny as
sured herself she was relieved not
to see Bob again, and sighed forlorn

was giving a. big Hallowe'en party
that night. Leila had sent regrets
for herself and husband, consider
ing that It was too large an a (fair tor
them to attend so soon after Bob's
father's death. Leila was right ol
course: but It Leila allowed Bob lo
go to the party he couldn't run away
from her that night aoyway. Per
baps Bob didn't mean to run away
