As s- matter of fact, after the death, 'of - Aunt Wentworth, Josephine lived in- dependently. Her servants were Ja- panese, little efficient men; she had three of them, apparently not afraid' of her. The batter, Tashi, an adept at fiujitsu, could toss out an unwel- come guest with astonishing com- pleteness. "I only wish what they say was trues" Sit. Jo.mes ruefully re- marked; remembering many efforts. John Breen was named, in a long, purchased affidavit from Paris, but he was in South America and could not be reached. • Some. of the ce-rese pondents, afflicted with wives, found themselves under a double fire and fought valiantly, giving the perfor- mance an exciting interest. Jose- phine denied nothing, smiled, enjoyed the fuss, spent no money, whatever on het :defense, Schweitzer being re- tained by a syndicate of the indig- nant • co-respondents. If Josephine was guilty of anything, it was not stupidity. She was clever enough rot to let Rantcnl know more than an'in- effective husband should know. She may have been as spotless as New York snow, rn the hour of its fall. or she may have been a wicked women, Millions of readers debated the sub- ject endlessly and took sides. After a long trial a verdict was rendered in favor of Rantoul grant- ing him a divorce. on statutory gr -raid;. ITe was a vindieitive nasty Mil man without much money. Jose- rhine's attorney asked the jury, twelve disgruntled married inen, the historic question, "Why don't you re- commend alimony for Mr. Rantoul?" The co-reeneede»ts paid the cnc`a Josephine refused to appeal. She praised Gerrit Rantoul. "He is a very jealous mann" she added. During the trial he wee gilded with the mem- ory of vanished millions, and his lime ors h- ors and decorations were parnded by Josephine's counted. "1 don't went people to think I married a dud," she said. Josephine came out of the fire smelling slightly ,of adventurous dis- infectaut. It also became evident that she was a very wealthy ynung woman in her own right. Her Rolls. her Japanese chauffeur and footman, her gowns, her friends, her viewes, her face, her shapely ankles, and her cheerful attitude, quite upset the city and the country at large. She had no intention of going into moving hives the awful purple make-up be- ing something she would never con- sent to put on. Josephine Lambert, fnr she at once reverted to her maid- en name, took a leading part in the er. Josephine breaks the engage- ment and marries Rantoul. For years .T4 hn buries hinv'elf in wont. The U. S. enters the Wold War. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Rantoul tore the letter in rage and unuttered vehement uncouth oaths in foreign words. The letter wee almost accurate. Josephine had seen John and had wondered where the war medals were. Ire had worn none, and, in fact, was quite indifferent to her. "How's the old boy?" he had asked rather bluntly. Josephine thought he looked years older and twenty times inony bearing on his own misdeeds. was Josephine half as 'had as Rantoul contended? .So far as he was con- cerned he knew she was blameless. What was she like, after nine years? ire remembered her in Paris, rather attractive, he thought,' although he was feel. Merin uniforms,, and ;her air was too self-conscious. But he would probably see nothing of her; he • cared very little if he did or not, He 1 would talc: an office; ina high tow- er, Or a year or two, and enjoy himself.

John caught the name above a jumble of voices, in one sol those .in- tmime lve when earnest 1ace- roads, bridges, dams. He had been called to Paraguay, he had thrown spans over gorges, had visited and reported an great works in Chili. His reconnaissance, surveys, and reports were on file in London -and New York: A dozen domnnissions awaited him at ,competion of every work. He was known in Europe and America he was a member rot the great Am: erican Society of Civil Engineers; a corresponding member of the Insti- tution of Civil Engineers of Great Britain. John,.Breen was becoming a disthnguished,'engineer, still in the sunny forties; but he was utterly un- known to the public at large. He was out of touch with fame, John was heavier than when we saw him last, working with Colfax. heavier but compact. Years in the open had tanned him, his hair and eves were strangely' light in contrast d'rhn was still an athlete. in fay ramps he had often amused himself by boxing. He had read, as inen react who are free. -. As the Western World neared San- dy Hook, John noted the increasing filth afloat, the slow outpush of ac- cumulated sewage, soiling the blue sea. Why had he come back? They had called him in Tendon. Almon Straus; had written hint from Paris. Ile could have started for China, on a work as great as that of the anc- ient wall. He wanted to see Pug, to again talk with Havhoerd• to shake bands and look into the knowing eyes of Judge Kelly. to walk once more on Washington Heights. It was the city that called him. He wanted to again feel the insistent pressure of millions. '"!esu• nine p..08 Jelni Breen, C.

Josephine, intending to burn and consume her in the public eye, he still believed in a philosophy outmodeled. The Rantoul divorce case was photographed and exploited during a semester of public attention. The papers, in defense of Jose- phine, her many poses supplying them. with first class circulation in- terest ratted up the past of Gerrit Rantoul. He hadno idea this would be done. Josephine, on the other hand, testified, under examination by her attorney, Maximilian Schweitzer, that her husband had always been true. She insisted that be was the essence of uxorious fidelity. She ev- en conveyed' the impression that this had been a bit boring to her. Numerous, correspondents were named by Rantoul.

She might have been the second (or was it the third?)

Jose- phine was supremely unconcerned, "I atM opening up the icld house again, Marvin," she informed Judge Kelly, alter the divorce. "It is a- bout time I settle down to life, my dear" She looked anything but set- tled. "Gilbert would have liked to hear that." Judge Kelly looked at her thoughtfully. "And so would John Breen. He's coming back to New York." :Josephine went to the pinna, ran her ;fingers over the keys, her head thrown' back, with a saucy toss. "Spring is coningto town," she Laughed. The new apartment at the Du Barry was ccay. "I hope he's more civilized, now." Judge Kelly looked out of the window. What a damn- able town it was! But a women like J'o'sephine could always survive. Perhaps John Breen might master her. And if he did? For nine years John Breen, 031., had 'worked in the Argentine; rail - John had been in the city an suns mer, going out to Greenbough for a week at a time, but always back a- . gain to his Little office. He had no sign on his door, had no special 'busi- ness.' He "lived at the Engineers' Olub, was pointed out, at times, as the John Breen. It was in the fall that John Breen first met Josephine, quite by accident as simple a meeting as life ever ar- ranges for us after its most elaborate maneuvers. John was becoming more and nose concerned with the tenement; the slums, if you will. He came upon Josephine in Riving - ton Street. A settlement near by had enlisted her enthusiasm. "Well. John—P' She held out her hand. took his 'frankly and smiled in- to his eves. "You are a good sight\ after all thein years." "Nice n+' y -•n to say that, Jose- nhinP" He returnedher handclasp. He linked his admiration. She was certainly p remarkable woman.—How confoundedly young she looked! He v,:as gray; not that it mattered, but he did feel old, compared to her. But the time was late. Josephine was leaving. Her car awaited her at the plaza in Canal Street. John walked se far as the car and bade her good -by. "We must see each other penin, John. There is so much I would like to talk about. Good -by." It was fully a week before John met her again. This time she was on a shopping tour. He saw her on Fifth Avenue. Judge Kelly had mentioned that John would be lepv- ing the Engineers' Club at two. He gassed Jecephine on the Avenue, turned and walked with her far a :few blocks. "I'm going in to do some chopping; dreadful, nuisance, John, but just have to." He left her entering a shop displaying things in ,ilk. She moked oven mire beauti- ful than before. Nothing whatever From time to time John read the papers, off in far camps. Uncertain glimpse: of the Rantoul divorce news came to him. One of his ass'.:ciates had received a.- paper, sent out by obliging relatives, containing testi- r. -face talkers pause almost as one. The long assembly xoom made free to every cult and clique that cared for the privilege, was the scene of a meeting and catholic discussion ton the evils of the time. It seemed intellectuals, was .assembled there for no other purpose than to talk. Profeeser Audrey Fessenden of the Bouge Scheel was expected to speak on Trends! The room was crowded. Harlioavd pulled John by the arm into .an alcove offering an exit to- ward the door while groups continu- ally blocked the way. "For the love of Mikey Harboai'd, let us get some air." John was fuin ing—the women put him out of tune; and snatches of this and that roiled • andgoaded him;. the smoke and breaths were oppressive. • that The .Lemma, a society of eager (Continued Next Week.)
