(NOW (it) ON WITH THE STORY)
AY sat looking straight ahead
of her for a long time. Her
_ eyes smurted with angry tears
that? kept gathering faster than she
cou d blink them away.
But under her anger she felt.
somehow, what Ulysses had just
said 'to her was the truth about
' herself. (is :1
its bad show-ll her {use What site
was as plainly as if he had held h
mirror up before her eyes for her
to see herself! . ... She looked back
over her life and couldn‘t see a
single place where she had done the
unselfish thing instead of the eel-
fish one.
She had married Dr. John 19!
money and had ruined his lite. Dur-
ing the 10 years she had lived with
him she had never considered him
for a. minute. She had gone about
to "wild" parties with any man who
happened along, she had smoked and
drunk. and danced like a butterfly
in the sun—without a. thought of
anything but her own pleasure.
She had refused to. beer a child.
although Dr. John had made it per
fectly plain that in his code of life
marriage without children was no
marriage at all.
She. had lived upon his bounty
ndgiven him nothing in return

cheap graftor. '
And now she was "sponging" up-
Jlna
on the Gregory's in the some teeth
ion. so Ulysses said. And Ulysses
was right!
. . . But the fact that he was
right made May feel all the more
bitter toward him.
She stood up and faced him tor a
minute. her eyes bright with tears,
her hand pressed against her heart
as it it hurt her. “All day I’ve been
longing to see you." she said. “I’ve
been wanting to tell you I‘d marry
you!"
At that ho eagerly slrctched out
his hands toward her. but May
pushed them away. She went on
in a voice that was choked with
tears:
. "I was. gain; to marry you tor the
sake of the' home you could give
me." she said frankly. “l was go-
ing to 'graft‘ on you just as you
say l've been ‘grafting' all my life
on somebody or other. . . . Only I
didn't think of it in that way. i
thought I'd give you companionship
in exchange for your money. And
1 could have helped you out with
Sally, too. . . ."
Ulysses tapped his specteo‘es on
the heck of his hand through sev-
eral moments of silence. He looked
at May as if he had never seen her
before . . . the lovely turn of her
cheek. the softness of her eyes.
veiled as they were by tears.
"And so you would have married
me without love . . . for the sake
of having a home?” housked. “You.
who wanted to he homeless all
along _. a 5, ‘footloose’ as you called
May pzddcd silently.
"Well." Ulysses went on, as if he
were talking to himself, “I wouldn't
have believed it possible to care
about any woman as I do for you
. . . but I want you so much that
I would have taken you on any
terms. even those!"
May smiled mlrthlessly.

“The last time I saw you I said I hoped I'd never see
you again! I didn’t mean it ”
"You‘ll hmcr take me on any
terms. Mr. Forgon," she said stifily.
"You‘ll never get a chance to! And
1 hope 1 never see you again!" She
turned on her heel and ran upstairs.
From the window of the guest-
room she watched him leave the
house a few moments later and walk
down' to the curbstone with Sally
and her swuln.

i} was gone out of her life lor-
H ever. thought May. The knowl-
edge brought a feeling some-
thing like pain to her heart. . . .
Why, how terrible it was going
to be not to see him again! How
dreadful it was to lose that com-
forting feeling that he was waiting
for her when she should tire of be—
ing “footloose." and want Journey's
End!

Journey's End!
“You certainly are the world's
prize bonehead!“ she told hersell'
miserably.

IN the beginning of February May
left the Gregory's and set herself
up in housekeeping rooms. The
two tiny squares of space on the top
floor or 1111 nrtment building were
hardly worthy of the, word “rooms."
But May made of them a home
.the first she had ever made in
her life. As a bride she had walked
into Dr. John's old home and lived
there among his dead mother’s be-
longings, taking no interest in them.
But this was different . . . this
tiny flat filled with painted iurniturs
that May bought on the installment
plan. She loved' everything in it.
. fromuhe painted sugar tin in the
tiny kitchen to the box couch in the
tiny livingIroom.
The box couch hecume a. bed at
night when the living-room took on
the aspect of a bed-room, with May‘s
fresh clothes laid out for the morn-
ins.
She had to get up early these Feb-
ruary mornings. in order tobe at
the otllce by 8 o‘clock. For May was
at work again at a stsnographer's
desk after 10 years of ease.
line had found her position . . . a
responsible one with a firm at im-
porters through Dick Gregory.
Mr. Phillimor. the head at the
firm. was May’s "boss.” From him
sho‘ took orders. and slow dictation.
Mr. Phillimor loved to use big words.
and he spelled them incorrectly for
May. who knew how to spell them
herself!
“What an old foggy he tel" she
would think as she sat patiently be-
side his dnk with her pad on m
knee.
She would sit looking at the egg
spots on Mr. Phlllimor’s tie. at his
unsbaveu Jew and his lack-luster
eye . . . and visualise Ulysses table
clean white hues. his well-pressed
suits and general air of perfect
miss. his air at youth and vigor
in spite of his to years.
And she would wonder why Her-
bert Waterbury at a had seemed
so aged to her. while Ulysses. who
was a. good five years older. seemed
no older than herseltl
The last asturdsy in March Mr.
Philllmor discharged May. He ex-
plained to her that she ought to
know how to telegraph in code if
she was going to try to work for
importers. And he added that she
didn't take dictation test enough
anyway.
May was crushed.
She walked home under the heavy.
leaden skies with a heart as heavy
as they.
No Job! And her month's rent due
in a couple of dsyel Not only that.
but she owed Dick Gregory two hun-
dred dollars!
She sighed deeply. . . . What a
struggle it was to earn enough
money to keep body and soul to-
gether! And where was the Joy of
being alive. anyway? . . . ,
And then suddenly something
leaped in May's heart like a living
flame.
Coming straight toward her down
the sordid street was Ulysses For:
can! And suddenly life seemed very ‘
worthwhile. and the world a wonder-
ful place to be living in!
All this because a middle-aged
man had suddenly turned the corner
and was coming toward her holding
out his hand in greeting. lie was
smiling . . . and May realized that
she was almost running toward him
in her eagerness to speak to him.
They stood there. wordless. smil-
ing, shaking hands vigorously for
a. full minute before either spoke.
Then May said breatlnlcssly: “The
last time I saw you i said I hoped
l'd never see you again! . . . I didn‘t
mean it!"
”No?" Ulysses nskml. replacing
his hat. which he had swept off in
greeting. “Are you sure you didn't
mean it‘!"
May could only shake her head
and laugh like a child that has been
naughty and is glad to be forgiven.
"l've been working . . . you told
me I ought to go to work to support
myself. you know," she said after
a minute or two. "But i just lost
my job this afternoon. . . . After 10
years or idleness my typewritlng
hand has lost its cunning!"
Ulysses looked at her closely.
“You're thinner." he said 'ui’ter his
long scrutiny. “And too pale. Been
shut in too muchl Come and work
for me. l'vo a nice sunny omce.
and 1'" make you take two hours
03 every noon to get out in the air!
.Will you start work for me Mon-
day morning?"
May shook her hezul. "No thanks."
she said. “You told me once upon
a time that l was s. grafteri And
l'm not going to prove it by “graft-
ing" on you! I'm no good as a
stonographer now. I wouldn't hon-
estly earn even a. tiny salary.
Goodby."
She held out her hand and Ulysses
t00k it in a hard grip.
“But let me come to see you.” he
bogged. and once more May shook
her head.
"No.” she said. “l'd rather not
see you. somehow. . . . I want to be
alone. away from everybody:” And
with that she went. ’
