well all about the theater and
who'a roally back ot H and who's
in the first cast and Somerset and
everything." -
"Oood Ideal" Oar had responded
promptly. But he had been think
ing how etunlng Marge looked in
the thing ah waa wearing, what
ever It was. She looked like the
favorite In a harem; be had played
with that faooy while Marge was
talking.
He bad been lounging comfort

oat toward the Ore.
"I'v got to do something about

"He's well, he's taking too much
for granted. But I can t offend him.

"The big bounder I Why didn't

-Marge bad sighed faintly. Her
hand had reached out and tucked lt-
aelf nnder Gar's arm. He waa al
ways completely at home In Mrrge'a
alttlng room, pleasantly conscious
ot Its luxury, ot Its seclusion, of the
privilege that waa his In so enjoy
ing It.
She had told him ot the progress
the Players were making. The cos
tumes had been ordered from New
York. He must see what Gordon
Wing waa doing with the back drop
tor the first act It waa perfect!
Her low voice had run on and on
from on thing to another, while
Oar bad listened and watched the
little play ot muscles under the fine
skin of her throat.
"Oar, I had a wonderful talk wltb
yoar mother, about you. Ot course
ahe'd say things to me that ahe
wouldn't aay to anyone eiae because
iah knows what frlande you and I
hare been. She waa ao aweet I Just
(opened my heart to her. I told her
well, I'm not going to tell you
what I told her. Ton would have
Itueasefl It a long time ago except
that you're so blind"
"You're going to tell ma, Marge!"
Oar bad asserted masterfully,
"Shoot!"
She had shaken her head; ahe
toad leaned a little closer to hia
shoulder, her face bent away from
him. When ahe anawered there had
bean a suggestion ot teara In her
faltering vole.
"But there Isn't any use, note.
Tou'v married Kitty. And you'v
polled ma for anyone else. It a
alwaya been like that that's the
way I felt laat winter when I cam
out. I didn't give a hang about any
ot the partlea when you weren't
going to be there. Oh" She
stirred restlessly. "I bat every,
thing now! I'm atck ot the orowd,
of all this fuse over the theater.
Tm going away from Wlnton thla
spring and I'm never coming back.
I think I'll lire In Parle all th raat
of my life. Will yon miss me, Oarl"
Gar had been touched by her con
feaelon, flattered. "I'll go after yon
and bring you back," he had an
awored Quickly, vehemently. He
had put his arm about her shoulder
and kissed her. "Gosh, Marge, I'd
miss you a lot! You can't go away 1
"Would yonf ' she bad whispered
against his arm.
Ha had straightened, smHIng
down at her.
"To prove that I think ot yo I

"Oh! Belby told me there were

I thought .hey were from Somenet.

Sunday. The group, cornpoaed of SO
men, 63 women and 7 children,
were brought to the Jail here in
automobile trucks.
Unlike th demonstration a week
ago when 118 mimata were irmteJ
after a sharp battle wllh police, the
Doukhobora submitted peexsrully to
day. Thos arrested last week were sen
tenced to three years In th peni

ahe had drawn ajmckly away from
him, pulled a cord tbat released a
bright circle of light from a lamp
at the end of the divan. She had
flung back her shoulders, dramati
cally. "We're crazy, Oar, talklni
like this"
A clock somewhere bad chimed
seven.
'Oood gracious, I didn't dream It
waa so late!" Oar had sprung to hia
feet. "I've got to beat It. Yon can
depend on me, Marge about Som
erset And forget that going away
stuff."
"Thank, Oar." Her voice had
been aweet, a little plaintive.
Driving borne Oar had frowned
heavily, thinking of Somerset's pre
suming on any Intimacy with Marge.
He'd ahow him where he got off!
It did not occur to him tbat Margi
could have done that herself, weeks
ago. He waa all chivalry, all affec
tion tor Marge. What it aha did go
away to live in Parle T
But be had forgotten that alarm
when ha reached home. Kitty and
her eager hungry embrace had met
him at the door.
"You're going to wear your cor-
sage, aren't you?"
Of course. It' la the Ice-box.
It'a lovely. Oar."
"Well, so a you."
"Do I look all rlghtr
"Beautiful. YouVa getting claaa,
Kit What are yon doing! What
beauty parlor are you going to!
First thing I know I'll see your pic
ture on some ad for cold cream or
powder."
Kitty laughed llghtheartedly.
Gar's easy praise was Intoxicating
to her; she needed no new dresa,
she needed ao artificial color on
cheeks or Hps. She brought tbe
coraage to blm to pin on to her
shoulder.
'Th devil!" Oar cried, laughing
auddenly. "That Isn't what I or
dered for you those three pink
rosebuds. I told that fellow I want
ed orchids."
But I love these. Oar. And or-
ohlds are so frightfully expensive."
Oar laughed again. "Not when
I'm sending them to you."
They met the others at the Rain
bow XJardens. They went there fre
quently; th head waiter alwaya
greeted them with particular con
cern that they ahould have the table
they wanted. Often Kitty, follow
ing Oar Into tbe crowd, thought of
Josle, looked for her among th
dancera and at the tables. She
told Tubby much about Josle, and
Tubby had laughed witr her, but
not at Josle, and ahe had liked him
better for that
There were to be ten ot them to
night, at a long table. Diana cam
with Buck Bewail, Red came alone,
Tubby with Isobel Peters, others
Joined them. Tubby took the chair
next to Kitty and began whispering
In ber ear.
"Say, yon look out ot eight to
night" "Tubby, thla old drees. Yon see
me in it every time I go anywhere!"
"I thought It was a new one, hon
est" "You're silly."
But she warmed to hia nonsense
Tubby amused her with hia devo
tion, hia clumsy humor. She felt
at eaaa with him. With the othera,
at times Ilka this, It waa like play
ing a part In a play, the role of
which aha knew well, now.
Oar waa at the other end ot th
table. Ha had kept th chair next
to him empty. He waa watohlng
the door. Presently be sprang to
bla feet "Here's Marge."
Marge approached the table with
Paul Somerset Tbe othera balled
her coming a little boisterously.
It waa Gar, not Somerset who
took Marge's evening coat from her
ahouldera. "Sit here." he com
manded, Indicating the unoccupied
chair next to him. It left on for
Somerset across th table. "I'm on
th Job," he added It a low ton.
Marge lifted a deeply reproachful
look to him a ahe altpped Into th
seat he had saved for her. Her An
gers went significantly to the or
chids agalnat her ahouldar. Her
eyes traveled swiftly down the table
and met Kitty's wide startled glance
fixed on her. She laughed softly,
her lips acareely parting over th
sound.
At their end of the table Tubby
was deep In a story which ha waa
pouring Into Kltty'a ear. All at
once he became aware tbat ah waa
not listening. He thought she spoke.
"Whafd you aay. Kilty r
She turned back to him, her eyea
blue-black, a heightened color on
her cheeks. "Did I say anything!
It I did it was only that It waa Just
illly. thinking It tor a moment"
"But what I'm telling you la goe
pel truth. Kit! It happened to a
fellow I know."
