And then "Oh, Clod!" said Tony, and hung •up the receiver,. It was two o'clock when a special messeng,er brought a note. It was a sharpcurt little note. "I'in sorry, Ellen," it began, with- out any word ,of greeting, "but you picked the wrong time to ask for an, expensive apartment and ail that goes with it. It's ,utterly impossible, as things are, for me to comply with your wishes. In fact,rI'm afraid it's goodby as far as we're concerned." So the letter ended. With quivering fingers 'she was rea- ching for her 'hat, was pulling it ov- er her curls. And then she was rac- ing down the stairs,,feeling 'ill and dizzy and lost. On the street she hailed a taxi and gave :the driver Dick's address. It seemed as if .the taxi crawled, as if she could -hardly wait until it had reached the studio building•where Dick lived! • But when ,,she opened the. door, the world began to take shape again, For Dick was standing in front of his easel, : just as he had always stood, ' and was:' painting away, just as he had always painted. "Well, has the prodigal come home?" he called: out. And then, peering around the easel- "For God's sake, Ellen, what's happened?" It was as it'had been the night of her. marriage. Ellen was in his arms, crying and laughing, and a button on the front of Dick's shirt was rub- bing against her -nose. "Everything -'S all over, Dick," she sobbed. "I dont know what'I_m go- ing to do. Tony-" she blurted it out -"Tony's left me! He's through-" "Then," Dick was looking past her, out of the window, "then you must' have married him. because he was a millionaire. You couldn't have loved him when you didn't know him, at all. We've all been rather afraid that you were blinded by the'thought of a great deal of money. Only I-" he choked, "I held out for it, that the money didn't natter." Ellenls hands were twisting toge ther. "The• whole crowd of you," she said, "might have known that it was not money, Dick. Else I wouldn't have gone on living in my own house, and working. I'd have had more of the material things to show - for my bargain. It was love, Dick -at first sight, Oh," piteously, "please don't laugh at me. Love at first sight does happen! I was Crazy about, Tony before I even knew his name." Dick ignored the last part of her sentence. a hanky, Gay; I think maybe I'M go- ing to cry." .. Ellen was sniffling into the Wand - kerchief. "'Tony hasn't said or done any thing, sine told Gay. "I'm the one that's a fool. You see," she gulped; it washard to make the admission ,even to' another girl, "I told him, I didn't love him." Gay's little Band was patting El- len's -hand. ' "That was foolish," she said. "Al- though I shouldn't have thought that it would have mattered, one way or another. Loving him has stuck out all you 'ever since the night of the Six .Arts Ball. But then," she nodded savagely,` "men are fools, es- pecia+lly theyoung ones!" Ellen was 'crying very hard, now. "I am in love with Tony'," she was sobbing. -"I didn't mean what I told him. I want him to know. how I feel. I don't like staying here, Gay. I want to be with Teny., I'm more of a fool than he could be, ever." Still Gay was patting Ellen's little hand. _ "You've got a phone," said Gay. "Call him! He'll bis at his office to night, you can bet your life on that. Every broker in the city is at his office!" ' With trembling fingers, Ellen - before she -coin, d change her mind - reached ,itr her phone and lifted the receiver off its hook, and gave a num- ber to central. "Line's busy," she said; and Gay answered, "It would be." ' All of that evening, -with only a few moments out for the coffee that Gay made and the sandwiches that she brought in, Ellen tried to get Tony NOW GO ON WITH TIIE STORY "If anything happened, and I was wiped out in this crazy market, El- len," he said, "I 'wonder if you'd let me come and live in your Brown house and be a gardener or something?" Ellen, all it once, was angry. She didn't know quite why she was angry. "I wouldn't let you come into my garden, Tony!" she said. "Because I think you'd laugh at it, andthe things for which it has always stood. I'm afraid you'll always laugh at all the things that seem important to mel" Tony, wasn't Laughing at her now. "Oh,forget it," be said gruffly, "We've been making fools of oursel- ves, I'm afraid, and spoiling what might have been .a good evening!" Ellen wanted to ery out, "I won't forget it. I won't be put down : in your mind as an unscrupulous, little fortune hunter!" • Instead she folded her hands in her lap and shut her mouth tight and didn't say anything at all. In fact, neither she nor Tony spoke again until the car drove up to the door of Eilon's house. 'Until Tony, not ev- en touching her hand, to -night, bade her a brief "Good -night." Ellen went slowly, dragging$,, nu the stairs to her room, after she had Ieft Tony, and threw herself, • fully dressed, across the bed -as she had, in the afternoon.

C. R. A RESULTS reswlts of the first D.C.R.A. shooting match are out, and the scores are vIvy high. For those who do not understand the intricacies of shooting, an explanation is, offered. Each boy fires ten rounds, five at each of two bull's eyes. The team is composed of the best eight shots, al- though any.number of boys may coin- pete. If they -fail to make the team in the first .match, may enter the se- cond match and improve their scores, sometimes making the team in the second trial. , There are three matches, for both Senior and Juniors. Senior boys making an average score o£ 90 or over on the three matches receive a D.G.R,A. medal. Similarly, Junior boys with an average score of 85 or over on the three matches are award- ed a D.C.R.A. medal. The boy from each school with the best score in his class receives a 'special medal. TheC.C.I. target practice cup is awarded to the boy, Senior•or Junior, who makes the highest score in the three matehes, who holds the cup one year. John Cuninghame is the present hold- er of the cup, but we have yet to see who will be this year's winner. For each match there is a possible total of one hundred marks and there are some who have been fairly close to the total. Here are some of the results: Sr. Boys Jr. Boys K. Dougan, 97. B.

"Ellen, dear," he said, "I'm, desper- ately sorry for you, but I -can't help feeling that there is something to be said on Tony's side -a great deal to be said! I don't suppose you realize just 'what's going on down in Wall Street, I don't suppose you've seen a paper for days! Tony's firm failed yesterday, in an exceedingly spectac- ular.,way. And on top of the failure, yea called up and asked Tony for things that he probably isn't able to give you any more. Naturally, coo-. ing after all you'd said before-" He hesitated for a long while, and then "There must be some reason, E1= len," Dick said, at last, "why you took such an utterly insane stand." hadn't understood the day before Ellen took a firm grip on her tour - when .Claire tallied about the stock' age, She hada"t talked about herself market -she hadn't known realization' to anyone since the first day of their friendhsip. "It began," she said at last, "with my mother. Wle'd lived together, all alone, for - seventeen years, Dick And front the time I was old enough: to understand wordls, . she 'told me that I should love lightly. She'd •had a very cruel lesson, Dick. You see, my father ...." It didn't take such along while to tell the story -mot nearly as long as it had taken to gain courage to tell the story! .• Strange how futile it seeemd at this tolling and retelling! Strange' how artificial and unreal it all was. All through the next day Ellen sat in ,her room -waiting for Tony - to phone her, waiting for his flowers to arrive. There was no reason why she should sit there. She should have been working. But she didn't want to work somehow. She just wanted to wait for Tony. Morniisg, lengthened into noon, noon became afternoon, and the twilight settled down. But there wasn't any ring at Ellen's doorbell, and her phone was soundless. By gentle stages twilight became evening, and evening became eight o'clock. And still there was no call from Tony, and still there was no florist's boy. And then there came a knock at the door and Ellen, open- ing it, saw Gay on the thresholld. "Tell ase you're glad to see me," was Gay's greeting.. "Wall Street's shot, and so am L" Gay flung her lnat across Ike menu and sank into one of Ellen's easy chairs: "That's why I'mn here, really," she said. "All joking aside. Someone told me you wore feeling low, so I thought I'd stop by and see if I could do any- thing for you. I'll bet you haven't lad any dinner . . ." She paused, went one with a rush. "Say, Ellen," she asked, "come clean! Are you and Tony. fighting? Don't think people aren't talking, she said, "and speculating. Sandy tells us that he took you out to dinner, once, and that you met T�ny, and the, g.f. eating together. Claire tells me' she saw the g.f. again -pussyfooting it toward Tony's office. And that fam- ous house party -why didn't you stay it out? ,How do you suppose that looks to us?" What do I. tare how it looks?" an- swered Ellen savagely. :"Lend me START OF THE SECOND ROW husband (making overtures 'after a quarrel) : "And what little • present shall I buy for the one I love best." Wife: "Flow about a box of cig- ars?'- the ig-ars?' the evening before when Tony had spoken vaguely of fortunes crashing. Even Gay's casual remarks had made no imliressian upon her, Wall Street didn't exist for Ellen, you see, It was around toward midnight, when the telephone wire was still busy, that Ellen at last sent a tele- gram, phoning it to W!estein Union. "Call me tomorrow, please," she said in the te:egram, and signed her name. Surely, she figured, that wire would bring a response from Tony, hs the morning. The next day, around noon, Tony telephoned. Ellen had been un at seven, expecting his call. The hours from seven until noon had seemed un- believably and brutally long. Again she didnit understand, she couldn't understand! Tony's voice didn't sound at all like•Tony's voice, to Ellen. It 'sounded like a tired, older man's voice. "You wanted' me-" asked Tony. Wanted him• ! Ellen wished that she might have crawled' into the tele- phone, that she might go to Tony a- cross the wires, she wanted hum so badly. "Tony," she said, "I've got to see you right away. There's something we've got to talk about." Tony's voice was weary. "I can't help wondering," he said,. "what it is?". Ellen took a hard prig on her cour- age. • "You, said, Tony," she told him, "the night you asked• me to marry you,, that. you'd •give me everything I ever wanted. That I- could have the biggest „apartment on.,, Park Avnue, and live with, you in it. , Well,. Tony, I'm ready .to make the advances. I don't want to go on this way any longer." ' There was silence for a moment on "I think," for the first time Dick's voice was unsteady, and it was an unsteadiness born of renunciation, "I think that I'd better take you down to Tony's 'office, I want you to tell him everything, dear -just as you've told it to me."
