TISTtRDAJ: It Is enough, Henry Pell thinks, that hit friend ship for Marie Mason has almost estranged his wife. Ladla. But note Marie, who has been trying her best to maJce Henry a place In radio, has just confessed that she has not pot over the tnatu Hon she felt for him years be ore in their home town. This icitl break things up. Henry knows, unless he can do some thing about it. Chapter It Confession T LOVE ilnging my career," Marie gasped, "But I haven't got over loving you. I don't sup pose i ever snail. "Gosh!" said Henry. He was at loss for words. Maybe Marie was modern, out ne. personally, had never before felt so comrjlete. ly unmodern. Here waa indeed a lituation for a man-of-the-world --and he couldn't handle it It was a situation that was completely and utterly beyond him. "Listen, Mane, ne Degan again. "Why didn't you come up here before you were married?" the ' rushed on. "Why did you have to be in such a hurry to marry? We could have tested ourselves, seen If we loved each other maybe gone on together. "But you said you didn't want marriage, rienry reminded, wok you at your word and ' "Never take a woman at her word!" said Marie. "That is, I mean Oh. I don't know what I mean. All I know is that you're - married to Luella, that she's hold ing you back, retarding you, and that you're letting her. I'm miserable heartsick "Get hold of yourself." Henry said, wishing he could do the same. He looked into Marie's tear wet eyes, and struggled to keep uum utAuig ner in ma arms. ' Maybe Marie was right, he thought miserably. Maybe it would have been fairer to all of them if he hadn't rushed Luella into marriage. But what could he do about it now? Nothing, ap parently. Marie began speaking again. "We've got so much in common, you and I." she said. "We could be so happy working together. Working on songs, planning pro grams. And if Mr. Everett and Malcolm do decide to take you into the organization, just think of the things we could do." "I am thinking," said Henry. "Oh, Henry." Marie wailed, "what are we going to do?" "I reckon," said Henry, "that all we can do is try to make the best of the situation." He sank back into the taxi seat "I don't ace what else there is. Maybe I was unfair to you and Luella, but it's too late now to " "It Un't too late." laid Marie. "Modern people people like ourselves, Henry don t accept defeat They learn by their mis takes, and go on from there." Go on to where?" ' "I I mean, you don't have to f;o on oeing married to Luella, ust because you went through a ceremony wnn ner, said Marie. "If it was intended that you and I belong to each other help and encourage each other it's up to ue i uu someming aooui n. "You mean divorce?" "Of course, and don't look so shocked!" Marie slid her hand into one of Henry's, intertwined her fingers with his. "People are getting divorced every day." He turned to Marie. "1 think we a better wait until we re little leu emotional," he said, "before we discuss the matter any runner, we aon t want to do any. thing that will make others un happy, nor act too ouicklv nur. selves." He watched Marie's face. "Don't forget that Tommy Mc- iniyre is in love with you. He d be hurt if If you did anything rash." "I suppose so," said Marie wearily. "But 1 11 have to harden myself against that Luella will be hurt too so" "Poor little Luella." eM H.nry He covered his eves with his free nana. liod! He steadied him self. "Mavbe In the morning we'll seem a little less mixed up and dramatic." "I shall still be loving you though." said Marie. "In the morning the morning after that and on and on." Henry tiahtened hit hold upon her hand. Then he lifted it and laid it against his lips. "Well, here we are!" he said presently, glancing out of the window. "Here's where the South ern Singer of Songs parks her lovely self." Marie laughed harshly. "I know you're trying to be funny and mske things essier for me, Henrv." she said. "But I'm In no mood for humor. Don't get out good night and thanks." "Good night to you. Marie Henry called, as the doorman opened the taxi door. "Good IUCK. "I II need It." Marl retorted. And went on into the hotel. "Oh!" Henry frowned there In the semi-darkness. And some thing evil way down deep inside of him forced him to say: "Aren't you and Mclntyre seeing an awful lot of each other?" "Perhaps," said Luella. "But so are you and Marie." "That's beside the point. Marl and I are working together on the radio program?' Luella flared. "And I hope to high heaven you'll get that damned program on the air event ually!" she said. Henry gasped. In all the year he had known Luella, this was the first time he had ever heard her swear. What in blazes had come over her? "Listen, Luella," he began, "We've simply got to" Tm tired ana sleepy," Luella cut in. "I'm going straight to bed." She got the door open, and walked Into the hall, Henry be hind her. At the foot of the stairs the paused, looked Henry directly in the face and said: Henry Kandolpn reu. you mans me sick." Luella. you can t talk to ma like that!" Henry said, angry. He reached for Luella's arm. but she eluded him, and ran up the stairs. He was at her heels. "You talk like someone whos been drinking." "Well, maybe I have," said Lu ella. "If you men can drown your sorrows in drink why can't wo men? We've got equal rights, haven't we?" 'You're talking like a little fool!" said Henry. "And you've been -acting like one," said Luella. And so on. and so on Into the bedroom and out of It My wife getting tieht" aald Henry. "Disgusting." "As a matter of fact." aald Luella, "I had one small glass oi wine. I hate drinking hate wo men who do it I hate" She stopped short, and got into bed "Hurry up, and turn off the light" she said. "I want some sleep. And you've got a job, in case you've forgotten." I he devil!" said Henry. Then he too lot Into bed. Hi lay thinking, and what he wai thinking actually frightened him. For the thought kept coming to him that maybe Tommy might turn out to be the means of set ting his freedom from Luella that is if he ever really wanted to be free. Lnella Furious t JENBY gave the driver his own address, and a short time later he was feeling for his key in the smsll vestibule of the house in which he lived. Hearing a footfall behind him. he turned quickly, to see Luella framed in the outer doorway, her latchkey In her hand. "Hello, Henry!" ah said. "Did I startle you?" "You certainly AA " eaiA ff.nrw -TVV, . ,u . - - wn -:rii, rv yOU aoing i have a out at thlt hour?" moon." "Been dancing with Tommy." I Trip For Henry T waa on an afternoon two weeks after the rehearsal ol the radio program that Henry came home earlier than his usual time. Luella. surprised, exclaimed Are you III, darling?" "No." Henry replied. "They let me off early in order to pack up and catch a train for Chicago." H laid down the brief-case he wat carrying. "I've got to go out there and look into some tort of real estate proposition." "You mean you're leaving right away?" "yep . . . Got to take a train from Grand Central Station at Eight" "Goodnetsl . . . That doesn't give us much time!" said Lu ella. "How long will you be gone?" She tried to speak calmly, casu ally, but she was thinking: "Dear God, let him take me with him. Out there, away from Marie, we might be able to get back on the old basis get to know each other again. Henry was getting out of his coat and vest. "I'll probably be gone a week," he said. "Mavbe longer. It all depends on what I find when I reach Chicago." He carried the brief-case, the coat and the vest into the bedroom. "If you don't mind, I'd like you to pack my suitcase while I'm hav ing a shower." "Of course I don't mind!" said Luella brightly. "I'll be glad to." She followed Henry into the bed room, thinking "Well, anvwav he'll be out of Marie's reach, and that will be something!" She went over to the clothes closet and opened the door. She took from a shelf the suitcase the boys down home had given Henry for a farewell present "Are you go ing alone?" she asked. Henry whirled on her. "Good lord, of course!" he said. "Who in the devil did vnu think TA h taking with me?1 Your wife, said Luella. 'That's all." Henry had the decency tn look sheepish. "Sorry." he said. "Here of late I have the feeline that you think I'm dashing of? some where with a female, if I'm late or the slightest bit noncommita about my movements." "Like your Uncle Peter?" said Luella. She got fresh underwear and shirts from the chiffonier drawer. "You know, the philan dering family skeleton." "Why bring him up?" said Henry. Oh. I don t know. ... I was Just thinking. Aunt Lila used to worry a lot about you and your Uncle Peter. She was afraid you'd grow up to be like him." Henry frowned at her. and went Into the bathroom. He left the door open, and Luella could hear him splashing tn the tub. "I'm sorry I can't take you with me." he called out above tht sound of the thower. "But I'll be pretty busy, and my exinse al lowance for the trip won't permit two people traveling." That'i all right," said Luella Then when Henry came in, dry ing himself, she looked up and sa:d: "I was thinking we might sort oi second honey- Te be eentlneee JUNE SHIP LOSSES LEAST IN MONTHS London.
