SYNOPSIS
Mani Intim Ta' 10 r
r eac.31.S. - 1 flOC STER saRvice-woke1'I
Nancy Gordon trades herself in
marriage with Dr, Richard Morgan
for fifteen thousand dollars—to save
her fancily the disgrace of her broth-
er Roddy's theft of that amount for
a woman. Nancy loves penniless
young Page Roemer, and Richard is
loved by Helena Haddon, a sophisti-
cated young married woman. King-
don Haddon, Helena's husband, sees
the elopers, but holds his counsel. Af-
ter the ceremony, Nancy returns to
her parents' home, and continues to
see Page, wlto urges her to divorce
her husband. Mr. Gordon, to release
his daughter from what he considers
her shameful marriage, sells his house
to his friend Major Lomax, who rents
it to the original owner. Helena is
Jealous of Richard's interest in Nan-
cy, although she knows nothing of
the marriage, and tries to make trou-
ble. Once Page comes to Nancy's
house and makes love to her. Nancy
is frantic—she loves Page but refuses
to go back on her bargain with Rich-
ard by divorcing him,
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
I3ravely Nancy neared her own
home. But she got no farther than
the back door, when all the misery—
physical and mental --came to a cli-
1nax. She crumpled up against the
door -post.
"Mandy!" she cried faintly.
"I declar' ter goodness!" The col-
ored woman, ,strong and broad -shoul-
dered as a man, stopped and picked
the girl up. "Dere-.yo' keep still,
honey; yo' ain't gwine-ter walk any
more now." Amanda bore her into
the library and laid her down on the
lounge.
"Yo' wait, Miss Nancy; I reckons
I can fix yo' up as good as a doctah,"
Nancy, cuddling down in the old
pillows with her first feeling of re=
lief smiled. "Its been done already,
Mandy; Dr. Morgan's bandaged it."
Mr, Gordon had just come home
from the bank, his day's work done,
and he had some papers in his hand.
He had, in fact, succeeded in selling
out some old shares in a copper mine.
He would be able to pay Richard
Morgan another five hundred. He
was half way to the center -table be-
fore he discovered her, and he stop-
ped short, looking at her over the top
of his spectacIes.

Nancy stirred sharply, averting he

She drew herself pu onthe couch

OFF TO JUNGLE
Mrs. Francis D, Dazelle, former W.
Virginia society girl, left recently for
a one-way honeymoon trip to the
jungles of Sumatra, 'where her hus-
band will manage a rubber plantation.
Page Roemer. He had been sure of
Nancy Virginia. Then suddenly, out
of a clear sky, the bolt fell.
• She had married Morgan against
her will, she had married him secret•
ly, and she refused to confess her
motives.
He walked the floor at night, his
nails biting deep into the palms of
his •hands. Out of these vigils of ag-
ony he emerged haggard but deter-
mined. Morgan shouldn't have her!
He would take her away from him
now by main force.
Love and Hate contended for his
soul, and the love that he made his
god was more dangerous to poor
Nancy than hate.,
But she did not know it. Stinging
from her father's denunciations,
shrinking from her mother's reproach-
ful eyes, unclieered even by letters
from Roddy, home was intolerable to
Nancy. As soon as the hurt ankle
"Free?" she sighed, "Oh, Page, if I
only could be free—as I used to be!"
let her walk without wincing she
went out again, and she met. Page.
He was always lying in wait for her
in his hours of leisure.
Not even Angie Fuller, who had
taken a sudden unaccountable dislike
to him, could prevent those encount-
ers. One day, when the two girls
were down in the river meadow,
Page had joined them. The two were
so intent on each other that the girl
left them, a little hurt and angry.
A storm was gathering, too, behind
the hills. Angie saw it. She shook
her head and went into the house,
aware that her own heart was sink-
ing. She had had no word of any
kind from Roddy.
Nancy and Page walked steadily
out on the old river road. There was
a pungent fragrance in the very air.
Nancydrew a long breath. "How
peaceful it is out here! What a beau-
tiful world, Page,"
He did not answer. Hate,: that was
working in his heart against: Richard,
was suddenly swept aside by love.
She lookedso beautiful today.
They had walked a long way now
and suddenly she realized it. She hes-
itated, looking about her.
"Where are we going,, Page?"
"We're going to the end of the
rainbow, Nancy."
She' laughed faintly, startled, look-
ing at him pow, her eyes wide with
surprise.
"We: shan't find a treasure there,"
she said sadly; "it looks like a storm,
We'd better turn back."
He caught her ` handd and held it
fiercely,
"Nancy, will you eotne on with mi:
or will you turn back to 'him?"
She stood still, and, instead of
blushing, site turned white and her
lips tightened,
"Don't aslc me," she said faintly,
"don't talk of it now—I was happy

here. Let me be happy for' a little
while, Page, I've been --so miser-
able!"
They walked on silently. Nancy 0
was trying not think, She drew long 01
breaths of the fresh sweet wind that
had risen suddenly. As suddenly the
sun' had gone out and a purple -black
cloud was rolling up on them, It had
an effect at once glorious and terrify
Ing, for it was torn with jagged

wind came, torn leaves whipped about.
them, the rain" began to fall in great
drops,
"Come -we'll have to go into, the
inn over there," he said brikly,
"you'll get wet, Nancy,"
Nancy yielded to his guidance and
ran across the lane into the old tav-
ern that had been made into a road-
house for the convenience of summer
motorists.
The inn dining -room was long and
barren, with here and there a group
of small tables. As yet there were
but few summer visitors. Only a few
people were in the room, driven in
by the coming storm.•
"You'll take something, Nancy, just
for form's sake? People notice --
there's Haddon over there. His wife,
too! The storm must have driven
them in, too. He's been down to his
racing stables, I reckon. They're al-
ways quarreling, poor fools. I won-
der they're together."
Their alcove isolated them. Page
put his hand out suddenly and laid it
over hers.
"Nancy, are you going to endure it?
You're wretched, I see it! Break with
him now—right off—before it is too
late."
"Too late? What do you mean,
Page?"
"I know what to do. Trust me,
Nancy, let me -set you free!"
"Free?" she sighed. "Oh, Page, if
I only could be free—as I used to
be!"
"You can be—you shall bel" he said
in a choked voice, "Nancy, I adore
you—I won't give you up, I swear it,
he cha'n't have yon."
She did not look at him now. "He
won't let me get it," she said faintly,
"he won't give me up."
"You can make him give you up,"
he said in a voice of smothered pas-
siolt.
She shivered, shaking her head. "1
can't see how—he's like granite, Page.
I can't make him yield."

The girl lifted her head and looked
at him questioningly.

passionately, "I love you — you love
me. Come to rne, Nancy, we can go
away from it all together. He'll know
it's useless then. He'll get a divorce."
She stared at him innocently, be-

He bent nearer, his face flushed, his
eyes glowing, love triumphant and de-
