, Lyle is infatuated with Valeric
Brooke, ambitious showgirl, who is
not interested in marrying a poor
man. John Morton, who is well
aware of the whole situation, op
poses the marriage bitterly, but is
convinced by his sister, Lucy, that

bad bargain, since Jill is determin

ever, John has a talk with Lyle, in
which he makes it clear
help the young couple,
marriage is distasteful

"You’re broke,” John Morton’s
voice whistled through the air like
a whiplash. “You’re worse thau
broke. You’re in debt.”
Lyle inclined his head. “Pretty
deeply.”
"Marrying my daughter will just
sohfe the. Putnam's problems. You
don't deny that?”
“No, J don't—deny that." Lyle’s
hand trembled as he lit a cigarette.
"Suppose,” John Morton men
tioned idly, “that I disinherited
Jill? That would put her in your
own financial class—foi* the next
five years at any rate.”
Lyle hoped his voice carried the
propev note, of assurance. "In that
case. I’d marry her anyway—if
she’d have me.”
The man behind the massive ma
hogany desk was silent,
squirmed inwardly, ventured,

approve—that you’d—”
“J know what you hoped,

the desk, faced his prospective son-
in-law squarely, “but that is quite
unimportant. My daughter's hap
piness is all that matters to me. For
that reason, and
only, I’m going
easier for you.”

a masterpiece of insult. “The posi

commensurate with the duties in

I will build and furnish a home for
you. I will defray the expenses of
your wedding trip. In return fo’’
which”—his eyes were diamond
hard— “you will make my daugh
ter happy.”
Lyle broke in eagerly, sure of
his way at last, “I assure you, Mr
Morton-—”
The older man met his eyes cold

Lyle gasped.

"Perfectly? But if I might ex

“No explanations are necessary.

quite clearly. But let us face the
issue quite openly. If through any
fault -of your own Jill becomes—'un
happy—you will very much regret
the day you married her.” He tap
ped the desk lightly to emphasize
the words, “I would think nothing
■of throttling you with my bare
‘hands.”
Alexandra Putnam’s son was sil
ent under the weight of such fin
ality.
• John. Morton smiled coldly, “I
haven’t asked, you will note, wheth
er you are in love with Jill or not.
It isn’t necessary. I think we un
derstand one another?”
Lyle rose, gathered his poise
about him like a torn coat. ‘‘I
think,” he said seriously, “that w«

noon.” He walked proudly to the
door, closed it quietly behind him.

Lyle Tells His Mother

the meeting in the restaurant,
Morton’s invitation to visit him
his offices.
“Oh. it’s all arranged and set
tled,” Lyle said bitterly. “It’s just
what you wanted, Mother. But I
can’t go through with it. I don’t
care if we do go to the poorhouse."
Alexandra laughed, a brittle and
humorless bark of laughter. “Have
you anything better to suggest’''
she asked fiercely.
“We’d get out of it somehow,’’
Lyle's chin was set in an unaccus-
tuined stubbornness. “There are
worse things than being poor. One
of them is being John Morton’s son-
in-law.”
Her voice was tipped with fury.
••We happen to owe in the neighbor
hood ot §12.t'0U. Our assets are
practically nothing. Our creditors
are developing a lamentable lack of
respect for social rating. Our cre
dit is nonexistent. You spend money
but you don't earn any. What oth
er brilliant plan have you?”
He tried to answer, but her ang
er swept the words from his lips.
“John Morton has been generous—
very generous. He is willing to
give you a good position, financial
backing, security. What more do
you want?"
Lyle said slowly, “He knows 1

His mother stiffened. “Did you—
were you fool enough to tell him
that?”
He shook his head miserably. ‘‘It
wasn’t—necessary. He knew. He
knows practically everything about

owe it to. He did a remarkably
thorough job of investigation.”
His mother flicked a curl of

they are—even if this marriage

His lip twisted in a smile that
held no mirth. “She’s exactly the

Plans for the Wedding
Plans for the wedding moved
forward with the speed of a snow
ball careening down hill and gain
ing momentum in the descent. As
the date swung nearer, Jill wan
dered around the Morton house in
a state of dazed ecstasy, Decora

lists, caterers, honeymoon plans—a
thousand and one details foamed
uponj one another. There were
gowns to be bought and bridesmaids
to be chosen and teas to attend,
and the inevitable series of -show

cluttered up the tables. Contrac

Many people think that backache
is a trouble that comes naturally
with advancing years, but this
woman of 71 proves that it is not.
“I suffered for a long time from
backache,” she writes, “but put it
down to my age (71). Reading your
announcement, 1 thought I would
try. Kruschen Salts, I have been
taking it for some time mid have
found great relief. I thought you
would like to know it has done me
a world of good,”—(Mrs.) E.R.
When pains in the back are
caused by inactive kidneys and
failure of the digestive system to
throw off poisonous impurities,
Kruschen Salts will give real help in
setting the matter right. Because
Kruschen has a diuretic action
which helps jto flush your kidneys
and liver. After that, your blood
throws off all impurities; you get
happy relief from pain.

Thursday. Only three more days
till the wedding. Lyle Putnam
moved in a dull, apathetic trance
unbroken by his mother’s increas

the stage of mental anesthesia
where nothing becomes important,
nothing carries any weight. In
three more days—he pushed the
thought back in his mind, wadded
it carefully behind unimportant
trifles.
He sorted the early morning mail
without enthusiasm. No letter
from Valerie. No sign or signal
from her after their brief and un-
dramatic parting. No, Lyle thought
mournfully, Valerie didn’t care
whether he married Jill Morton or
not. His fingers riffled the usual
