Chapter 8
"WOMAN IS FICKLE"
SANTA glanced up quickly. Dicky
looked so strong. Hli protecting
arm tightened. So he wasn't going
to punish her. She leaned more
heavily against him. Through the
great white lights ot Broadway
they sped In silence. At Columbus
Circle the chauffeur glanced back
for instructions. Dicky signed to
him to enter the Park.
Feverlshness was left behind.
Shadowy Tlstas. Black ramparts
filled with starry loop-boles.
He stooped his lips to her wary
hair.
"Don't tell anything, unless"
"Dicky," shb protested, "It coa
eerns you. I eren promised to fol
low him."
He laughed quietly.
"You haren't."
"You don't realise.". She wrung
her bands. "I'm asking your ad
vice. I'm In a most frightful
mess."
"You re asking whether you
should Jack me In favor ot Clive.
The answer depends on your hap
piness.
"But I'm considering your happi
ness."
"There's only one person to con
Ider yourself. Let's be terrific
ally honest. What are dive's su
perior attractions, In spite of which
you chose met"
"I chose you," she stared Into
the darkness, "because I was sick
ot boys. They're so bossy must
have everything their own way.
They get sore. Take Clive. It I'd
done to him what I've done to you,
he'd i have sulked and made me
miserable. Certainly he wouldn't
have been driving me round the
Park all friendly and comfortable."
"But Clive, since he's your ex
ample, must have hla good points."
"Heaps," she granted enthusiasti
cally. "I'm bis only girl. He adores
me."
"And now for my qualities. Let's
tart with the good ones."
"You're friends with so many
people. You take me places," she
faltered.
"Losing your nerve!" he chal
lenged. "I'm proud to be seen with yoa."
Her voice strengthened. "You're so
blond and handsome. Yon speak
languages like a foreigner. It's fun
to chatter with waiters In queer
little restaurants.' Life with you be
comes an adventure. And then
you're so well groomed so abso
lutely right for every occasion. You
mayn't know It, but you give me
confidence. Olive's sometimes a
little shabby and not quite sure of
himself. And then again, you're
agreeable always the same. Not
untidily demonstrative one moment
and all bottled up the next. What I
mean Is, you don't upset me don't
expect me to be perfect"
"Can't you state something posi
tively to my credit?"
She thought deeply.
"Yes. Because I'm young, you're
uauereu. wnen I'm prettier than
usual, you notice. And then on my
aide, . because you're older, I'm
flattered, too."
"Fourteen years older," he re
minded. "You've said nothing about
being fond of me or the way I feel
toward you."
She took his hand between her
two small onos and drew It beneath
her opera-cloak.
"I couldn't deceive you. I love
uuve. nut -"Go
on."
"I prefer you for your gentle
ness, i m so safe with you."
Their Una met.
Keit morning she annminrM in
her parents that she wished her
marriage to be hurried rnrwm
8he was afraid of her own Inde-

easy. Her thoughts returned to him

From morning UU past midnight
was wun nim in the high
powered runabout which he drove
so recklessly.
She forced him to take her to
night clubs. After giving a mystic
signal, one burst from a. gloomy
street Into the glow of an Aladdin's
care. The life they led seemed a
chapter from the Arabian Nights.
They bad no leisure for conversation.
Meanwhile her father, wishing to
learn more about bis luture son-in-law,
pursued enquiries. He discov
ered nothing to bis discredit, It
nothing distinctly favorable.
Dicky's pedigree, at all events.
was traceable. He derived from a
race of speculators In Chicago, who
In the second generation bad quiet
ed down to phllantbropby and
church-going. Previously to that
they'd cornered wheat, land, rail
roadsthere was precious little
they hadn't cornered.
Their women had specialized In
European titles. Dicky's father was
worth joveral millions. Unfortu
nately the father didn't approve
ot the son. Why was hidden In
obscurity. Probably they weren't
sympathetic. Most ot Dicky's edu
cation had been obtained at foreign
schools. Since becoming a man he'd
lived chiefly in France and Austria.
Again the answer to 'What was he
doing there?' was blank. An In
heritance from an aunt was his
only visible means of livelihood.
From a social point of view the
wedding was a. huge success. For
weeks costly presents from emi
nent persons had been arriving.
The news leaked out, via the press,
that the best man was worth
twelve millions. To have a multi
millionaire for a best man, Dicky
also must bave money.
The first night of the honeymoon
was spent In New York. Before
sailing for Havana, Santa tele
phoned her parents that sho'd mar
ried the finest and most consid
erate of husbands.
At tho start of the voyage she
was too seasick to enquire or care
what be was doing. On the third
day, when she became convalescent,
she discovered that he'd been
grabbed by a bunch of poker-players.
Late that night, since he bad
not come to bed, she dressed and
went to the smoking-room to re
claim him.
She was greeted with loud
shouts, "Here comes the bride."
When she tried to coax blm from
bis chair he showed temper. Later,
when she was sleeping1 soundly In
her berth, she was roused by
clumsy movements. Hot hands ca
ressed her.
"You there, Lou-Lou?"
In panto she switched on the
light.
Dicky blinked hla surprise.
"Not Lou-Lou I" He was half seas
over, "ueel You must be the gal
I married."
At breakfast next morning his at
titude waa repentant. He wasn't
certain what had been his conduct.
'Hope 1 didn't disturb you." He
Introduced the subject "To tell the
truth I drank too much last night."
'Who a Lou-Lou?" she asked
quietly.
'How should I know, darling? I
expect she's a name you've Invented."
'She Isn't" Santa shook her cur
ly head. "She's a woman whom you
loved before me."
'I never pretended there weren't
women I loved before you," he
owned gravely. "I 'fessed up that
evening when you planned to run
oft with Clive."
'Dicky, dear, by loved I thought
you meant liked."
'I'm not to blame for what You
thought I told you."
"So there were other women,"
toars filled her eyes, "whom you
loved in the same way that you
loved Lou-Lou?"
'Ilogitlar detective, aren't you?"
he chaffed her. "What do you sup
pose 1 was doing all those years till
1 met you7 I'm human."
"One more question, Dicky. I'm
not the third or even the fourth-
Just the end of a procession? You
couldn t get me cheaply so you
made me your wife."
"This Is what comes ot playing
poker." He assumed a mock In
jured expression. "Who said any
thing about a procession?"
"Do you got drunk often?" she
Insisted. "This Is only our honey
moon. I know nothing about you."
He attempted to fold hat In his
arms. She turned her face aside.
"My getting drunk was an accl
dont The other women meant
nothing." )
"Don't He, Dicky. They're all
memorised there." she touched his
forobead. "My place Is a long way
down the line."
