[NO and her friends. HER.-
BERT WATEBBUR! and DAN
SPRAGUE. Both men pay suit
to May. greatly to the distress
of Carlotta who has been in love
with Dan tor many years. May
also has a desperate love allair
with young JACK DARNLEY.
a college boy. ‘

Carlotta asks May to spend
the winter with her in her 0le
tornla bungalow. and May so
cepts her invitation. But when
Waterbury proposes. May de-
cides not to go—but to stay and
marry him immediately.

She turns over to him the
$2.000 from the sale of her
house. and 82000 remaining from
her original $8000. having spent
the rest of it for a suite ~‘ the
hotel. a fur coat. diamond wrist
watch and s trunktul oi'expen-
alve clothes. Herbie promises to
invest her money In an oil well
of Dan Spragne's.

May announces her engage
ment at a dinner in her rooms.
and young Damley abruptly
alcoves. May decides that she

has broken his heart and is duly

repentant. The next day. how-
ever. while she and Herhle are
having ‘tea. she sees Jack at
another table with a beautiful

young girl. When she tries to
to him. he bursts into a
-loud. insulting laugh.

(NOW 00 ON WITH THE STORY)

18 was not the tlrst time in
1 her life that May Seymour and

her. her feelings hurt. Not by
any means!
Long ago. when the why and

wherefore of her‘husbend's death
became town gossip. her women
friends had snubbed her, had cut her
dead on the street when they passed
by,

But men had always liked May.
They understood her. and she them.
She had a way of holding their
hands just a trifle too long when
she greeted them. of laughing hearti-
ly at their dullest ,iokes—

Never before had a man been rude
to May. as this boy was belngalr-gde

lie
she stood there in the middle of the
restaurant. Jack turned his back
upon her. slid down into his chair.
and calmly went on talking to the
little blond girl across from him.

An odor of whisky hung over the
table. and May realized that both
of the youngsters were drinking. As
she turned away. hot with shame.
she saw Jack open his gold clgaret
case and pass it over to the girl.

"There's young America for you!"
May said indignantly to Herbert. as
they walked out of the room up the
stairs that led to the lobby. “That
boyl-He's so dead-drunk that he
doesn't know what he's doingl Just

think of his refusing to would to -

me!"

Waterbury laughed most unpleas-
sntly.

"O. I guess he knows what he’s
doing all right. when he refusesio

led him on. didn't youl—Let him
make love to you. lust for the thrill
of it? isn't that so?"

May had the grace to blush. "0!
course. it isn't sol" she flbhed. "lie
may have fallen in love with me but
thtm'. tam: .Jtsult . .

"lie wasn't in love witl‘ you-

don‘t kid yourself about that for a
minute." Waterbury answered calm
ly. “He's never been in love with but
one girl—and that's the one he‘s
with. todayi"
"Popycockl" cried May. "Why.
he was married last year to a show
ziri named Jill Jonson! He must
have been seriously in love with her
-to marry heri”

Waterbury slowly shook his head.

“No—just a passing crush. He
knew when it was over. his family
would get him out of the mesa-
buy the girl off. as they undoubtedly
did." he explained. "If the truth
were known. young Jack most likely
proposes to every pretty girl he
meets. May have asked you to mar.
ry him. for all I know—probably
did."

"Well. as a matter of fact. he did
ask me to marry him.” May an-
swered defiantly. “What or it? He
meant it—l'd stake my life on that!"
Again Waterbury gave that un-
pleasant laugb. "Go ahead. and
sinks your life on it. I won’t stop
you!" he said. "But don't take every
ofler of marriage that you get. so-

 

riouslyi”

“All aboard. " called the conduclor as the two friends

 

 

May turned to him sharply.
"What do you meal. by that?" she
asked. “That in not to take your
offer of marriage seriously?"

Under her questioning eyes. We-
terbury's handsome face sobered. tie
began to study the gold top of his
cane. they noticed that the initials
engraved upon it were not Water
hury'a but “0. M. B."
"Whose initials are those?"
’lle’ifll. suddenly.

”This cane was given to my tether
“Y one 0! his old friends—Oliver M.
ilruncli." he said. "But we were
speaking ofniarrluge. and that "-
mlnds me of something i think i
ought to tell you. i telephoned my
young daughter today to tell her
about her new mother—and she
doesn't take to the idea. as l'd
hoped she would."

"Well. what of it? You’re not
going to lot a mere child of fifteen
run your life for you. are you?"
May asked. “You wouldn't let her
come between you and me. would
you?"

“Besides. i promise you. ['11 make
her not only like me. but. love me.
when i see her." she went on wist-
fully. "You've no idea how glad
I'd be to be a mother to new”

She stopped. but the thought went
on to its end. iflier brain.

Bile roused herself from her day
dream.

“Six o’clockl" she exclaimed. “Car-
lotta‘s train leaves in less than
an hour! And i promised to see her

she'll like me. you'll see!"

As she hurried away. In. remem-
bered that another day had gone-by.
and Herbie had not bousht the en-
gagement ring for her! A tiny wrin-
kle of anxiety come between her
brows—she must have that ring. to-

‘ morrow. it was the only means she

had of getting basis that 814.000. or

1-at least. part of it! she would make

Herbert pay real money for the
ring!

Hill tound Carlotta in tears. The
poor little thing had mlslaid her
railroad tickets and her trunk
cheeks.

”How could you be so careless?"
May asked in wonderment. "Now.
when did you have them last?"

"I’ll bet a hat I threw them in
there with my old hair nets,” she
murmured.

But a careful search of the waste-
basket revealed no tickets. nor torn
scraps of tickets.

Suddenly a gleam came into her
blue eyes. "I know! I remember
nowl" she said. “I put. them in the
pocket of my hat best"

“But whersh the hat box?” asked
May. looking around the room. _

“At the station. of course. silly!

‘ I sent it along with my trunks."

Grlotta explained. .
She picked up her gloves. her

. hand bag. a bundle of mags‘slnes.

and an overnight bag. and opened
the door of the room. “Come on!
We'll go right down to the station.
and get it! I remember lust where
I put the tickets-stuck them in the
pocket of the bag between two of
my handkerchiets—”

Ten minutes later the tickets had
been salvaged: and she and May
sat down in the waiting room.

"Where's Dan?" May salted.
“isn't he coming to bid you 'hail and
farswell'i"

A shadow darkened Carlotta'a
merry little face. She shrugged her
plump shoulders.

“Oh. Dan-" she said. “He went
up to New York this mornlns.
Francis Lee has a dancing engage-
ment there. I suppose that's the
reason for Dan's sudden departure.”

“How you can love a man like
him I fail to see." mused May. rais-
ing her eyebrows a bit disdainfuily.
"A man who goes traipslng oil. after
another woman-"

Carlotta hit her lip. "It isn't what
a man does or doesn't do that makes
you love him. May." she said quietly.

“i know all about Dagrl've
known him like a book for twelve
years." she went on. “And i know
he'll never marry me—nsverl i
know he‘s not strictly honest—l
know all about his shady little deals
«about the letters that come to him.
addressed to ‘Oliver M. Brunell'."

"Oliver M. ilruneil." thought May.
"Why. that‘s the name that belongs
to the initials on Herbert's canal”

She turned to Carlotta. and there
was a loci: of strain about her lips
as she questioned her. “Who is 'Oli-
vsr M. Brunell'l" she asked. “And
whv should Dan be getting his let-
tors?"

“Don't ask me." Carlotta an-
swered. “i suppose he's another of
the partners in this California oil
business of Dan's—or maybe there
isn't any such person.”

May nodded thoughtfully. "Well."
she said after a minute. ”I suppose
the next time you see me i'll be
married to Herbert-ellhough he
tells me his young daughter's terrl~
bly opposed to his marrying again."

"His daughter?” Carlotta repeat-
ed. "Why. l'm sure Dan said Herbie
Waterbury was a bachelor. in fact.
i know he said so. its told me that
he and Herbie had made up their
minds never to marry—had decided
they weren't cut out for married
life!”

The gates that led to the-train
had opened and the two friends
walked slowly toward them. arm in
arm. '

“That's funny," May remarked
presently. "lie told me his wile died
fifteen years ago when this girl was
born-He told me she was living at
his farm up near Plttsileid."

Carlotta shook her head. in a be-
wildered sort of way. “1 never
heard of Herbie’s having a term.
either.“ she said. "1 know he owes
Dan a lot of money—tour or five
thousands. if he had a term. I
should think he'd mortgage it and
pay Dan his money—My dear. don't
you trust Herbert. Waterbury too
“I!”

“All abomii" called the conductor.
