Two years later she woke one morning . after a fall from her horse to find herself, un- tier the name of Frills, married to Neil Packard, rich California fruit packer, From letters in her desk she learned something about her life in' the two-year interval, and realiz- ed that she had been a heartless, reckless young woman and that she is seriously involved in an affair with a man named Maitland. She decided that at all costs she would end it, but- she found Maitland hard to manage. , Her troubles were fur- ther complicated when she read a letter referring' to a baby—was it hers ?—that the writer,. Sophie, thought Frills ought to have with her. Much to the surprise of Sam,, in her husband's employ, she asked for a dog and he got her one, NOW! GO ON WITH THE STORY bo Before Joyce adch essed and stamp- ed the brawn envelppe, it occurred Jo her that she might write a few words to put in with it. Then, ]cav- i ng come to this conclusion, she found herself disninyingly unable to decide what to say. What sort of letter would Frills write to Neil? "I don't see how she'd have 'the face to write to him at all, when all she cared about his absence was the chance to go off with Maitland and his crowd she thought disgustedly, "but just , the same, since Joyce Ashton isn't going off with Main, I think she might send a few words." She ended by writing: "Dear Neil: You can't:'lturt a solid ivory dome just by falling en itl But it seems to have knocked some of the pep out o1 little Frills, and she's an. noying the gang by cutting out some of the jazz. Laurin was here this morning with a lot of good advice, Ethel and Clarice this afternoon, and while I Was cut. Paul and Dot came, and Tess Farnswarth. Don't know why I've never wanted a dog before nom• just why I want one now, but T've just acquired a darling," she wrote hastily, "Sain got him for me from the Marches on the Dry Creek got for a. moment the problems `o Iter own situation. Just as she entered the Jiving -root a groupe of people came in with 'a burst of talking and Laughing and took possession of the house, "You're my hotly, I'm your totsy, everything is horsy-totsy nowwww!" sang a tall man with a bald head and jovial pink face. Joyce was seized in a rough em- brace by this hearty gentleman and kissed several times before she could get away. 1 Behind a veil of smoke, Frills ex- amined the separate members of the company. She was mors relieved than otherwise that the free -and -easy manners of Frills' set ..demanded so little effort. Apparently nothing very definite was expected of a host- ess; everyone talked volubly and seemed !entirely at home. Both, Ethdt j and Clarice were present, now in din - nee dresses and earrings. •. IThere were two other women, who turned out to be Tess Farnsworth and Kate, Heinlein. Tess was about thirty years old, a non-descript brunette with a strained Iook back of her email brown eyes. Kate Celmain was the eldest woman in the party: Her white hair, bobbed and marcelled with such careful skill that it quite rated the dignity of, being called a coiffure„ made a most becoming soft frame for her still excellent complexion. The four men were 'commonplace enough. Charlie Bates was a bachelor, cheerful, unintelligent, dissipated, ad - dieted to the use of strong perfume. Ed Rowley, the ."-faithful Ed" of Clar- ice's sarcastic comment, looked unbap pry in this gathering. Ross Emery, who had greeted Frills so vociferously 00 her entrance, precceded to be the life and death of the party. The fourth man, strolling restlessly abort the room trying to draw somebody into a game rf poker was Art Belmain, "Say, folks, I'm going to buy you all a chink," exclaimed Ed, jumping up, "who's with me? Frills is so hol- ier-than-thou 'Tonight olier-than-thou''Tonight it scares rete. I know something that'll put a little original sin into held" "VII come along and help you, Ed," offered Art. Then a diversion oeurred in the form of the arrival rt two more men. One of then was Dr. El - 1 1 see flow you were," whispered 'Wait- laud softly. • e Joyea, overcome by Iter great weaeeiness and disgust at the scene she had left, could not summon .enough strength to struggle. She felt tired and terribly alone. All, she was conscious of at the moment was that Maitland's cheek against hers was cool and sobers, that his breath held no reek of liquor on it. "His kisses were on her neck, her eyes, her whole face." Cayon road. They're going to China and can't take Dickie. Ho is quite adorable, and when did I ever care what any ane thinks, (''rills." Joyce was a little doubtful, when she finished, about whether she had not written more than was wise. She seated up the letter, however, and then went downstairs to look for San: to post it. Sam listened with casual politeness to her explanation of her appearanech "I hacl a telegrams from Mr. Pack- ard asking me to mail him soros pap- ers he left behind by mistake, and I wondered if you could get them to the post office for me? I'm sorry to disturb you this way but I think the papers are important and ought to leave right off.- Would you mind?" "Sure nett" replied Sarre taking the envelope. "Ill hop into the bus and take it down," "Are Roxie and Marcia out?" "Yeah, gone to the movies with their steadies!" Sam gritted good- naturedly. "Oh, of course," she murineved. smiling back at him and then added curiously, "What were you doing. Sain,' when I interrupted you?" "Oh, digging at the same old stuff, replied Sam, as if she knew . also what that meant, Ile van his' big brown !land through his hair. "S;onee- times I think it's the bunk, getting educated by absent treatment. But I s'pose I might's well do it as to play Pool . or take some jape to the movies." Joyce returned teethe house, full of thoughts of Sam, 'plugging away by himself out there alone, and she for lison, and the other a man of about the same age who was hailed as "Trace." Tracy Farnsworth was tan- ned like the rest. Everything about him was neat, well -creased, and im- maculate, and like his personality, insipid. With the arrival of the cocktails the party took on a shriller ail',. "Say, doc, did you write a prescrip- tion for Frills after she did her leap for life the ether clay?" demanded Clarice. "I did not," retorted the doctor, "what does she need it for, with NeiPs supply still holding good?" "And Malt's," added Kate with her b loud Iaugh, "where's your sweet pat- ' ootie tonight, dearie?" 1= Joyce, thus directly addressed, an- swered coldly, 5'Ilow+should I know v' th A second round sof drinks followed ed close on the first. The whole evening took on a confused, kaleidoscopic 13.,e quality that gave Joyce the feeling of being 'in a noisy: unreal night- th mare. She did not like the spectacle Pa of these uncultured men and women drunkenly in pursuit !of a "good sa time." s He did not try to take advantage of her yielding mood. He simply held her quietly, and :Alyce, whose head had been epinnning from the heat and the noise, learned against him with her eyes shut and murneed:' "Oh, I can't stand them, they're all drunk . , . .I want some air "Get in my car and we'll take a run," said Maitland promptly. I' -le led her to his machine which was only a few stops off, "Here, put this on. you'll be cold if you don't." He held up a light �evercoat and Joyce in a daze slid her arms into it and drop- ped back into the low seat without stopping to consider exactly what she was doing. In another moment they were roll- ing down the drive and out into the road. Maitland drove in silence, a tact - fill silence so welcome to Joyce in her lassitude that all her fear and abhorrence of him melted into grat- fnlness. Finally, when they had driven a. bout ten minutes, Maitland asked softly, "Feel better dear?" "Yes," said Joyce. Ile took his hand from the wheel and felt for hers. When he had it in his warm clasp, she let it stay there, still ton apathetic to care. "Who was there tonight?" he asked after a bit. "Oh, Clarice and Ethel and Ross and . . . Ed . . . mid Kate and Art and . . . Charlie . , . and Toss and Trace . . and . and Doe," re- plied Jryce drowsily, almost too tir- ed to finish the long list, "Same old crew, all talking at once after they get a few drinks under their belts. Get damn' sick of their drivel don't you Frills?" Suddenly the ear swung abruptly to the left, drove in through the thick darkness of a narrow, tree - shadowed 'road. then came out to an open space and strpped quietly, Maitland tools his hand from hers and putting his arm amend her shoul- ders bent over her. Maitland drew her suddenly closer to him and begun idesing her, with the same intensity of that first em- brace in the living -room. Hie kisses were on her neck, her eyes, over her whole face. She could feel his heart hammering violently, and his breath enuring short and hur- ried. She was frightened and repel- led. She must keep her head and get hint to take her back to the house heras quickly as possible. Perhaps he very resistance was what inflamed him so: perhaps her safety lay in letting !hint kiss her. She was s0 tired and it was so ut- terly futile to struggle against his superior strength. .. Suddenly she relaxer' her tense muscles and lay limp in his arms. The result of this, instead of cooling his ardor, seemed to fire him with nowenergy, The touch of his cold fingers on her flesh sent a shock of flaming rage and humiliation through Joyce. Slee struck violently at him and pall- ed his hand away with desperate strength. "If you , ,. . eared . at all about mel" she cried, her voice quivering in spite of her efforts to control it, "yeu'd knowI'm . , . that I haven't felt well since the accident. You'd do what I want, not just what you want. . . Please take nee home right a- way . . . now.. . .""Hell!" he exclaimed under his reath, "I don't get you at all, :'rills Well, all right, you've the boss," Ie released her, switched on the eadlights and in a few moments had e engine -running and the car turn toward home. On the way back Joyoo silently ndered what had happened. When ey turned in'at the Packard house ey could hear the sounds 0f the rty still in full swing. Maitland stopped the machine and id, "Want me. to come in with you, west?" "I don't want to see them at all," e insisted, "why can't I go in by e kitchen?" "All right," agreed Maitland, "you up that way and i'11 send the gang me for you." Maitland helped her out of the ear d went with her around the back of house, At the foot of the' back- irs, Maitland drew her to hirer rued her face tip and kissed her, s tune very' gently.. "Goodnight Ioye berried rep the stairs, through hall and into the big bedroom,( Would: they never go home? Her sh head throbbed and she felt inexpress- th ibly weary and revolted.

The poise and mesio downstairs, which came up in a.muffled confusion of sounds continued for about five minutes longerandthen with a sue - cession of sharp bangs of the front screen door closing she heard her guests depart, She listened to the cars drive off one after the other and then there was absolute quiet. The next morning a brilliant idea occurred to Joyce, Why should she not pacic a suitcase and run off alone to San Francisca for a week? She could stay at the Y. W. C. A., where she woulcl be unlikely to meet any of the Manzanita crowd, and there under an assumed name she could learn to rien an automobile and to ride horseback. She found about seventy-five dol- lars in bills and silver in the desk and in a handbag on the dressing table. With courage newly -augmen- ted by the excitement of her plan, She. decided to cash a check in Man- zanita.

Recently at the opening session of the Perth Presbytery in Central United Church, Stratfern, the ministers found themselves the butt of their own remarks. Rev. Dr. C. W. De - Mille noticed that nearly all the Belo, gates were near the back of the hall and he suggested that they move forward "No, no," he said, as several men started towards the front. "I don't mean the Iaymen, I mean the minis- ters. They are to come up first be- cause they are forever asking others to do so." And somewhat sheepishly, they did. * THE NEWS -RECORD THE NEW -RECORD IS * AN ALL-AROUND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, WITH SOME- * THING OF INTEREST FOR * EVERY MEMBER OF THE * FAMILY. * ARE YOU A REGULAR, . • SUBSCRIBER.
