SEQUEITO‘bfio RAPPER WIFE"
Tiiifi STORY SO FAR:
MAY SEYMOUR. whose hus-
band killed himself because of
her love «flair with another
man, returns to her home town
lifter a year's absence. She
sells her property, and with her
tiny fortune In cash, sets out to
find and marry a man with
money.
.\t Atlantic City she. meets
HERBERT WATERBURY and
DA): SPRAGI‘IS. through a
divorcee, MRS. CARLO'I'I‘A
FfttlLKING. Both men pay
suit to May, greatly to the dis-
tress of Carlotta who has long
been in love with Dan. She and
May become great Manda. how-
ercr. and Carlotta invites May
to spend the winter with her in
(‘nlilomla.
.\lay llnds Dun most little-
tiw; but. she sets her esp for
Waterbury. having made up
her mind that he is the rich
husband she is looking tor.
Finally he proposes, and May Ic-
rents him. She gives hhn all
her money to invest for her.
.\nd ivvnncdiateiy he disappears
with ii.
i'erzniiess, .\lay sells her lew-
eh-y and her for cost to buy a
railroad ticket to Los Altos, to
visit Carlotta in her bungalow.
tin the way, she stops off to
visit her friends, DICK GREG-
tiitY and GIDRIA, his wife.
One day while lunchhtg down-
town with Gloria May meets
i‘lA‘SSES FORGAN, a wealthy
widower who has been mildly in
love with her. Before she leaves
for Los Altos, he proposcs‘to
her. .\lay refuses him, bltt at
the some time tells him that she
likes him better than any has!)
on earth. '
0n the train bound for Los
Altos she meets Dan Sprsgue.
lNOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
‘4 ‘8 it May herself, or only her
ghost?" Dan asked, and May
laughed and gave him her
hand.
"See, I'm real tleshand blood!"
she cried gaily. “Nothing ghostly
about met”, '
Holding her warm hand between
his palms, Dan questioned her with
puzzled eyes.
“Then what are you doing here
in this neck of the woods all by
yourself?" he wanted to know. “The
last I saw of you. you were all set
to marry Herbie Waterbury. How
did you lose him?"
.\lay shrugged her shoulders.
"I didn't lose him. . . . I Just
didn’t marry him," she said indiffer-
cmly. "Can't a. woman change her
mind once in a. while?"
She had decided in a. flash that
she was not going to tell Dan any-
thing about her affairs. She re-
membered that Carlotta had hinted
that he was not to be trusted any
more than Herbie was!
"You hear from him. don't you?"
she asked suddenly. “He’s probably
u rlticn you all about me."
Dan shook his head.
“.\‘o. indeed, I hardly ever hear
from Ilerh." he said. "We’ve known
each other for ten or fifteen years,
and in all that time I don‘t believe
l‘v-z- had the scratch of a. pen from
him. .. lic‘a no great friend of
l’l‘illlf‘.
"Well. you haven't answered my
question," he reminded her. “What
earn you doing in this part of the
world?"
"I imagine I'm doing what you're
doing . . . traveling toward Los
Altos and Carlotta." May answered
nm.
And then she saw that he was
not listening to her. He had turned
and *was staring down the aisle of
the train.
May stared also. At ,the far end
. of the car sat a girl whom May

mentally termed a. "dizzy” blond
. . . a. blond whose pinkiind-whltc
ness undoubtedly came from u van—
ity case. She was dressed in dccp
purple, and she returned Dan‘s
stare with unashamcd interest.
As May looked at her, she smiled
at him with \yldc blue eyes that
were like the movable eyes of a
French doll.
"Who's your girl
May asked idly.
Dan started. laughed and lookcd
away.
“Search me." he said curviesgly,
“All I know is that she's been doing
her darndest to flirt with me {or
the last fifteen minutes. llnve you
had your lunch?"
May said she hadn't. and two min‘
utes later they were sitting opposite
each other in the diningcar. lie.

Dan smiled without

remarked, 1
"Who‘s that? Carlotta?" .\inyi
asked. 5
Again Dan smiled. Iic‘ picked upl
a pencil and wrote their order on,
the waiter's pad before he answeredl
"Isn‘t any man in danger who's in
love with you?" he asked.
Then. as May said nothing. he.
went on: “You made old Iierbie'
think you were crazy about him.
and then, as far as I can see, you
dropped him like a hot cake.
"And remember what you did to
me? . . . Made googlcy eyes at me
for four or five days until I was
running around in circles. But the
minute I asked you to marry me.
what did you do? Bawlcd the life
out of me for falling for you! What‘s
your game, any way?"
May looked him square in
face. .
“I didn't bawl you out for making

laughed.
Then his face sobcred. and he re-
turned to his food and to May.
“So you think I treated Carlotta
badly . . ." he began. but a move.
mcnt from the girl across the aisle
stopped him. ‘
She had apparently made up her
mind» to talk. This time as she
leaned toward them and opened her
lips. she included May in her smile.
"If you folks had a. pack of cards
along. I could tell your fortunes."
she drawied. "I do it avrtully well
. . . honest. I‘ve foretold deaths
and marriages and everything. I
learned how to do it at school from
my roommate. Awful rich people.
I went to an awful swell school.
. . . I'm in the movies now."
She sat back and waited for this
to sink in.
“I've never seen you on
screen." May answered coldly.

Dan pretended astonishment.
"Did you notice that big fat man

“ch." answered May who re.
mombcred on clcpliantlne man in an
elrphnnt-gray suit who had oglcd

"Nothing . . . only he‘s Lemuel

with wide, innocent eyes, and felt
Dan‘s hand close over her wrist in a
grip that hurt.

“Darling." she said. and there was

rich widow. but a poor one?"
Dan swept this away with a wave
of his hand.
"Why. of course. he said. “Your
money doesn't mean a thing in my
life. . . . It's you I want."
"well. you go back and talk to
Goldie Gay for a while, and let me
think it over." she said lazily.
She watched him go. conscious
that the eyes of the movie mag.

. . . Wouldn't it be wonderful it he
should decide that she was the type
he wanted for 3 him. and should
star her!
The porter came through the car.
"Next stop, San Jose!" he called.
