"That'i all right with me," Lon answered. "I might speak to the or chestra leader and .uggest he ar range (or relays of music." "Be sensible," chided Marian, laughing. "With you In my arms?" he que ried, and he wasn't laughing. "Im possible." Then a few moments later, "Ian, do you have to dance with Hamlin?" "Of course, Lon, what a question to ask." "Well I don't know that 1 like him." "Ves you do.? "Yes, I know I do, but I'd like him better If he didn't make such a play for you." j and honor as barren substi tutes." Ho laughed a little to soften his statcmont, then said, "but this music Isn't the proper accompani ment for such nonsense , . . think we'd better move along to our next stop after this dance." They moved on to a huge barn, tho slio converted Into a bar, the stalls Into private dining nooks. There was more food, more dancing. Wbtin the hour was late enough they began a round of the casinos, Lon and Marian too engrossed In each other to appreciate the glamor. Hamlin played recklessly and won amazing sums of money. Lon played carelessly and lost. "Lucky In love." consoled Hamlin, and added "1 always win when I feel as I do tonight." "I snould think It would pay you to feel that way," remarked Lon. "That's whore the Jaueh comes In," the other man remarked, "I don't need the money now." Marian understood. Mow that his wife's desertion had created the bit torncss which seemed to bring money in its wake, she wasn't there to share the one thing that would have hold her loyal to him. They had reached, an Imposing looking place, the entrance a maze of full length mirrors. Hamlin started to pilot Marian through the 4 -V iniiiFi i ran. vCT TSwa, n i x tot I , 1 1 Marian paaaed. She had teen Sliver. "i.uii, he doesn't," and she smotn ered an Impulse to add, "not half so much as Silver made for you." "Yes be docs, and i don't blame him, but if he tries to wangle a ride home with us tomorrow I'm going to" Marian couldn't resist the next Impulse "have shattered nerves?" he suggested and was relieved that be laughed heartily. They danced on silently. "Ian, I'd like to keep on dancing for weeks." "We might join a Walkathon," she auggested. "I've got a better Idea . . . oh-oh, that's the finish." Marian danced with Hamlin next, Hamlin who couldn't be roused to cheerfulness, despite tbe gay tone of the music "I feel guilty taking you out when you must be tired from last night's affair." she told him aftor several futile efforts to catch even a crooked mlio. "You needn't be," he said, then added a moment later. "1 wish It were as easy to coach people In life, aa It Is on the stage. TIAre you can tell them what to do to gain a de sired effect, but In real life" he shrugged his shoulders. "r0 YOU fool that I need conch lug?" she asked. "How should I know," waa his lightly weary answer "and my coaching wouldn't help I know, I n properly coached and see what a mess I made of things We are alike In one thing, we do what we think Is right regardless of conse quences . . . and then we sutfor. I read In a philosophical magazine re cently that anyone could havr any thing they wanted It they were will Ing to take what went with It. Silver wants luxuries . . . she gets them, but rebels against the troubles that come with them. 1 wanted a certain kind of life, peace and beauty. I have It, but I've lost the love of my wife who wanted something ele and was willing to pay the price, and you" "Yes?" "You'll demand what you want without compromise.

And I imagine you'l' be wanting to got back to your hole' early." Marian had paused To the other! she seemed engaged In the pure!) feminine habit ut primping before the most aviillnblo mirror In reality she was rcgnlnlng the poise which had deserted hor when she looked into tho gaming room to see Silver Hondon, the center of a gay crowd, feverishly rnklng In a pile of colored chips. Why had Hamlin turned away? Marian knew he had recognized Sil ver. Hnd he had Marian's Interosts at heart would he hnv done that, or would he have walked In to let Lon see for himself that this "poor little thing." as l.on hal cnlled hor, was quite capable of fnrgottlng a dying man who hnd been her hus band, wbllo she made merry with a crowd of friends. Well, she could do It. She could Insist upon seeing tills famous ren dezvous. She could show him the pink and tlnael-clnd Sliver, gloating over hor winnings. Perhaps then he would understand why sho had seemed so hoarllcsa ot the cabin that morning. Perhaps then he would realize Sllvor hnd been acting a parL Lorn Sutherland had said It was biologically impossible for women to be honorable with each other when a mnn was involved. Sliver had no sense ot honor She knew lxn had driven to Reno to see Marian, and yet she had deliberately pretended sho must hurry to catch a train, in order to Inveigle a soli tary ride with him. Why should she be shown any honor? After she had treated Cliff Hondon as she had, whv be shown any consideration at all? Marian knew that the highly prin cipled Lon would bo revolted by the Sllvor she had seen a moment ago. Why should she protect the girl ngaiust her own interest?

GRASSLESS DIET KICKING PRACTICE ITHACA, N. Y., Oct. 13. (AP) J The first sheep which never ate a 1 blade or grass, but lived solely for I science on "synthetic diet." ended I their lives with a perfect health rec-1 ord. Their slaughter, the ordinary end of all good sheep, was announced J Saturday night. If sheep have pains, theae appar ently djd not. They escaped even th troubles from one of the most com mon of parasites which Is found In almost all the aheep of this region. The finish of the experiment was announced at the animal nutrition laboratory of Cornell university. The sheep were raised by Dr. L. L. Msd- sen. There were two of them and ! they were a year and a half old. j They were fed a "synthetic" mix- ; ture of casein, the solid part of milk ' cellulose " which came from grea. j chemical mills, starch, vitamin con-1 centrales and salts. The salts In cluded essential minerals. I They matured rapidly. "From abservatlons on these anl-! mala." the report stated, "it !s thought that these new diets may af- ( ford novel methods of freeing sheep from the usual parasites."
