The whit duak of an April evening. Trees below In Oramercy Park. Taxis halted be fore the Playera Club. Cllve prawled In a chair In the bachelor'! apartment he had occupied since hla return from Europe. Hli Arm bad wished to aend him back to Vienna. He'd refused or the lecret reason that Santa's divorce was pending. For the thousandth time he was reviewing his relations with her. The loyalty he was displaying was iaslnlne. Each time he had given her a fresh chance she'd failed him. He supposed she would continue to fall him to the end of the chapter. When she was tree and he sought to claim her, she would probably declare that she was sick of mar rtnge. Bis next news would be that she was bonevmoonlnc with an' lather fellow. I He came to grips with himself: jBanta was blc vice. In other dlreo itlons he could discipline his crav ilngs; where she was concerned there was no bridling them. That this should he so roused his lndlg' nation. The goal be'd set himself was to become a leader. That be icould succeed he'd proved during the year abroad. He never ought to have re-sought Santa. He was again iher slave, spellbound. Interminably waiting her pleasure. Already he had been penalized tor Ibis Infatuation. His lmpolltlo reluc- jtance to represent his firm In Eu rope had lowered his standing with iMr. Cleasby. i And here was revealed the obsti nate Idiocy of his conduct: since that night when Santa kissed him o Impetuously, he bad not seen her. He had been permitted to render her no service. Had been forbidden ;ever to writ to ner. I "Keep out ot the picture," her father bad advised, adding that If Ihe Intruded he might complicate matters by getting himself Quoted s the alienator of her affections. So for six months he'd marked time, iSnlnformed as to what was happen ing and powerless to help her. i The telephone tinkled. i "There's a Mr. Dak down here .Inquiring tor you. I Cllve thought furiously. An Inter view would probably end In a tight iStill he might learn something. , "Send him up." . A tap. Cllve opened. The two men stared In the waning light In Dak's regard there was nu enmity. Come In," Cllve Invited. "This Is a bit unexpected." "For me, too," Dicky smiled. Removing his coat, he tossed It laelde. He was In evening-dress. : "Sit down. How about a clga- rette?" ( Dicky acoepted. I "I discovered your address from ithe Princeton Club. Ot course you're .wondering why." "Frankly I am. I "Then let me explain, I'm at my I wits' end. I've seen Santa's father. .He'll have nothing to do with me." j "Is that surprising?" "I should say not But that leaves (you as the last court ot appeal.' i "Can't see what I have to do fwith It" "Tou can persuade her." "To whatT" "To drop the divorce," Cllve made his tone Indifferent "Why on earth should I interfere? Save for an accidental meeting at her parents' home, I haven't seen Iter since your marriage. I have no (influence" , "You- have." Dicky leaned for Wsrd. "Being a bachelor, you don't Iknow wives. They treasure sn Ideal, E'ou're hers. All the noble qualities he denies to me, she attributes to ijou. Without the least Intention wou've made unfair competition for pne. - "This sounds nonsense." ; "I agree." Dicky laughed. "But It Isn't You're the white-haired boy It yon were to tell Santa that she ought to take m back, she would psy attention. Cllve blew a ring ot smoke. "Supposing I don't think she ought to take you back? From all I've beard you're been a beast to tor." As a man ot the world. In a mari tal quarrel you surely don't believe that all the justice is on one aider You yourself were once In love with her and didn't have such an easy time. You'd be standing In my shoes tonight It 1 bsdn't cut yon out Instead of divorcing me, she'd be divorcing you." "Profoundly Interesting, Cllve said. Stimulated by this encourage ment, Dicky continued. "Since she's been my wife Fve done nothing more offensive that she'd seen me do during our engage ment" Nothing?" Cllve switched on a near-by lamp. Dicky became uncomfortable, and hesitated. She's certainly seen me hilari ous. She msy have fooled herself that she was the cause. Anyway, I was always a top-speed artist and a great one for parties. While I was her fiance, that suited Santa down to the ground. We saw the town with one foot on the gas. Not till we were married did she apply the brakes. We skidded. Went on skid ding. At last we've crashed." She applied the brakes when she discovered that she was mar ried to a gentleman bum." Cllve spoke Insolently and waited for the explosion. "You've snatched the words from my mouth," Dicky surprised him. "I was on the road to the devil. Un fortunately this was the first time Fd been asked to bustle and my solitary business went up the flue while we were on our honeymoon. That threw me on her resources. So If you come right down to It the trouble between us Is money. Oth er things aren't the cause; they're the aggravation." Cllve swung his leg over the arm of his chair. "What do you propose to do?" "What I've done Is more Impor tant I haven't had a drink since she left me. I've gone to work- accepted the first Job that offered. I'm an automobile salesman." "But I meant as concerns Santa." "I've lain down. I'm not contest ing the suit" "I know only the barest details." Cllve betrayed Irritation. "I believe you went on a trip to St Paul and returned to find your borne stripped and yoffr wife vanished. You can't have sat down nnder such treat ment No man would. You must have done something." I certainly did." Dicky assumed a purposeful expression. "I lost no time In tracing her. I've courted her with more ardor during the past six months than ever I did before we were engaged. I've sent her flowers, the odd theatre-ticket paid her all those little attentions which mean so much to a woman's vanity." "And with no result?" Cllve pulled a long face. I wouldn't say that" Dicky ad- Justed his tie nervously. "In a week our case comes up; I think I've no ticed signs of softening. If you were to put In a good word, I'm certain there would be no divorce." Quite a problem I" Cllve stared at the ceiling, "And you wont me to urge her to take a chance against which her previous knowledge of you warns her. How on earth did you get the Idea that I would think better of you than she does?" "Because I'm desperate." Dicky's voice shook with agitation. "I'm not entirely selfish. I'm thinking ot her. She's young. She's lost her maiden freshness. No more dew on the rose. No Illusions. I don't need to tell you that fellows steer clear of divorcees. As I see things, It she refuses to And her happiness with me, she's ruined. The part that Cllve had been playing crumbled. He sprang to bis feet "As you see things you've robbed her and then quoted your rascality as the reason why no man will de sire her. Can't you realise?" "Everything." Cllve walked over to his coat and flung It at him. "Advise her to return to yon I fd rather advise her to take poison." Dicky shuffled to his feet "I msde mistake In approach ing you." On the threshold he paused. "You're a bachelor. You can't un derstand. There's a binding one ness about a first marriage. You may think that a woman who's been married before becomes your wife. She doesn't She never gets rid of her first husband." "Thanks for tbe Information." Cllve slammed the door.

Throughout the three and one half years of his leadership our coun try baa been confronted with unpre cedented conditions; many foreign governments have fallen; the credit of the entire world has been shaken and same countries have vanished entirely. Yet under his guidance the United States has stood like a Gibraltar. "It behoove us, as citizens and veterans, to support Herbert Hoover for re-election.
