The ay of
These ` omen
by E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM
(Continued from last week)
CHAPTER XXXI1I
"`Love is the one force in the
world which remains eternal without
any sustenance save,hope, which lives
and grows and flourishes without cul-
ture or care. It is the rarest flower
in life, and wheal you have found it
you have solved all the mysteries."'
It was almost her last speech. As
Ale came to the front of the stage,
carried away though she was by• her
part, she was yet acutely conscious
of that little note from him which
reposed in the bosom of her gown.
A few moments' later the curtain fell
-fell as it had done every night for
the last two months, to the accom-
paniment of loud applause. In the
shadows of• his box, Jermyn stood
'quite motionless. Lucille was' arrang-
ing her scarf before the mirror. She
was purposely looking away.
";,You wouldn't care to cone to the
Carlton, I suppose?" .she inquired,
as they stood waiting for their car.
"Florence is going to he there, and
the Lindsays. • I said that we might
turn up if you had no engagements."
'"l am sor•rh," he replied. "I can-
not conte to -night." .
'She made no remark. Only when
he had handed her into the car she
looked at him for a moment out of
her great eyes, holiower now than a
few months ago..
"You are not coming home?"
"Not at present," he answered,
raising his hat.
He walked round to the stage -door,
once a familiar enough path. The
doorkeeper welcomed him cordially.
He ,passed on the familiar. way be-
hind and knocked at the door of the
manager's room;. Mr. Levenden was
overjoyed to see him.
i'iMy dear Sir Jermyn," he exclaim-
ed, "this is a pleasure! At last you
have seen your own play, then!"
"To -night for' the first. time." Jer-
myn replied. "I only returned this
afternoon."
"You know that it's the success of
the season, of course," the 'manager
continued. "You've read all about
that and you've had our letters. Miss
Cluley has sur•oas.sed herself. She
is simply wonderful, To judge from
the bookings, I should say' that re
were good for another year."
"I am hoping to •see Miss Cluley;"
Jermyn remarked.
The manager nodded.
"You know her room," he said.
"Perhaps I had better just let her
know that you are here."
!She came to them a few• minutes
later. , She had really grown a little
•paller and a little• thinner during
these last months but Jermyn saw no
change. Their words of greeting
were simple enough. Even the man-
ager, who. was watching, saw nothing
unusual in them.
"More wonderful even than I had
dared to hope!" Jetvmyn declared, as
he bent over her hands. "You have
given my 'Nora' life. When she
spoke to me to=night across the foot-
lights, I seemed to be back once store
in my study, my pen in my hand,
wondering whether I could ever col-
lect into a harmonious whole those
fugitive thoughts. To -night I . am
very humble. I am driven to the
conclusiorr that the int'erpreter's art
must come first."
"You have not travelled abroad for
nothing, •Sir Jermyn," she laughed.
"You have learnt the art of making
honeyed speeches."
They wished Mr. Levenden good-
night and turned as though by tmu-
tual consent toward& the door.
"You have a car?" he asked.
'She •shook her head.
"Economical as ever," she confess-
ed. "Taxis are so cheap and so easy
to get. The sarne one comes for me
every night. You see, he is waiting
there now. Take me out to supper,
won't you? somewhere quiet where
we can sit and talk. 1 don't feel'
inclined to go home just yet."
'He r gaye the chauffeur a direction
and stepped in by her side.
"It was nice of you to let me know
that yrou were coming," she sairl.••"I
was really glad."
"You like your part? You still
find 'pleasure in it?"
"I find the greatest pleasure of my
life in it," she replied swiftly "Sen e -
times in the day time, when it haven't
heard from Mary, the hours seem so
long and I sit and thihk and shiver.
And then the evening comes and 1
forget that 1 am ii ysclf at all. I
become "Nora" and when i am "Nora"
I am glad, because you made her and
because she is wonderful."
"'.And how do you suppose," he
asked, a little bitterly, "things have
gone with a poor ordinary person who
has no other self into which he can
°sealne?"
She smiled at hien: delightfully; she
let her hand fall on his.
"All!"
1 shenu"thatis t
. ,h.t inured not
true. You have the whole' world of
your thoughts, a whole garden of
beautiful fancies into which you can
pas4 whenever you will."
"The garden ps haunte ' he an-
swered a little hoarsely. `Always I
seem to lookn
for a little , at amongst
the roses, and the seat is always
empty."
"Fooli'sh!" she whispered.
The cab drew up with a little jerk,
He handed her out. They passed in-
to the grill roan of a fashionable
restaut'ant, as yet only half full.
There was nn music and the lights
were not brilliant. They chose a
table near the wall and Jermyn gave
an order to the maitre d'hotel, who
recognized him with pleasure.
"Tell me about yourself?" she beg-
ged pimply.
• "I have had a hard time," he re-
1tllied. "'There is little more than
that, that I can tellll you'. u'. have vis-
ited >�tnY beautiful plaoeh somee
which were new 'to me and others'
which I have been longing to revisit.
I have tried to school myself into an

appreciative frame of mind. I have
found it hard: Every day I have
thhu'ght "To -morrow will he easier,"
and when, to•enerrow came I was al-
ways disappointed. Sybil, it is dif-
ficult indeed to live when the whole
flavor of life has gone frdm the cup,"
• (She closed her eyes for a moment.
t"'BI t. you are back again," she said
softly. '4I think that your going a-
way for so long was a mistake. In,
my. heart II feel that it was a mistake.
So 'little makes such a difference. Just
to have you sit here with nee and talk
is such a Soy. Are you staying in
London, Jermyn?"
"For some months at any rate."
'`'°I don't think that you must go
so far away again," she went on. "I
can give' up much (but I need just a
little. I need your friendship, Jer-
myn. I am so lonely all my days."
1"You have no new friends•, then?"
'None," she 'answered, sharking her
head a little sorrowfully. "I do not
think that any other person in the
world can be so utterly alone -"as"
am. It is my own fault, I suppose -
a kink in my tastes. When I am off
the `stage I am in the wrong place.
I do not 'care for supper -parties and
motor -car rides and river picnics,
with just the usual crowd -of theatri-
cal friends and their friends and their
friends' friends. They all seem to
expect just the same things out of
life, to enjoy themselves in the same;.,
manner. II hate it all, Jermyn. Some-
times I think that I should like to
have a few dull, stupid, middle-class
friends, who would ask me now and
them to rt., and ,see them and talk
foolish eofmrmonplaces 'albout the
stage. .1 should like anything rather
than -oh, I am silly to talk like
this!" she broke off.
"You are not silly at all," he as-
sured her. "Don't you think that I
can appreciate what you feel?"
"People mean to, he kind, 1 sup -
(pose," She continued, "and I suppose
it's our own faultt, but there does
(seem to be something about our pro-
fession which doesn't insrpir,:, res -
pent. The men all talk to us in the
same way and I don't like it. The
worst sort of them jostle 1,1p against
one another in their eagerness to get
to know us, and the hest never come
near, or if they do; they just pass
on`t' -
"We must try and alter that," Jer-
myn declared,
. She shook her head.
"My dear," she " said, "I am going
to have you and I don't want anyone
else. You must tell free now about
-your wife." •
"There is so little to tell," he an-
swered. "L have shown her all the
consideration I have found it possible
to show her and remain honest. She
gives way at times to violent fits of
temper, she broods a great deal, she
reads and thinks too much, smokes
too much, sits up too late. Her whole
manner of life is 'scarcely a healthy
one."
!Sybil tai,ed her veil. Her large,
soft .eyes were fixed upon his. Her
cheeks were more than usually col-
orless,. almost transparent, but her
delicacy seemed, if possible, only to
increase the 'beauty of her featuret.
:"Have you. had any further ex-
planation?", she asked,
"We have had several -shall I call
them crises?" he replied. "So far
as I am concerned there is nothing
more to explain. 'I have never chang-
ed, I never shall change. She is be-
ginning to know it."
"She looks thinner," Sybil remark-
ed.
"She 'is a very passionate woman
and she does herself harm by giving
way," .Jermyn said quietly. "I think
myself that under•present conditions
we should be much better apart. I
proposed it to her,' but just at pres-
ent she is unwilling.
Sybil sighed.
"It is so difficult," she murtnured.
"I suppose if I were really a nice
person, and my disposition were p'lto-
gether 'good, I should •t.ry and make
you believe that there was no chang-
ing t.h'e order of things; that she was
your wife, and that, however she be-
came you ri wife, her claim was the
same. What should you say to .mo
then, Jermyn?"
"I should promptly argue with you,"
he answered, "and T hate arguments."
"It would all he so simple, in a
way," Sybil went on, "if only she
did not care. She does care f'ot' you,
Jermyn."
"1 ens hoping," he replied, "that it
w i pass,"
"Women are less liable to that
soft of thing than 'men," she told
him. "The woman who really cares
so seldom changes."
With a little gesture the dismissed
the subject.
"Tor my part." he declared, •"I
want to drop the 'hurden of these last
few weary, months. I ant going to
rememberonly that
we are togetherether
again."
"If you only knew what it meant
to me!" she•"'said. Since you left
T:nglan'd,1 have net onee been out to
supper after the theatre, i have nei-
ther lunched nor dined
nut with Any
man. I am not sure now that it was
not a mistake. 'People will say all
sorts of things,"
"What does it matter? •We are
sure of ourselves. That is enough.
."It isn't for m'y'self," she sighed,
"that I care one little hit: You knew
that. However, we are coming notch
too near the earth again when We
talk about these silly problems. Am
Y really going to drink champagne?
I have forgotten what it tastes like
I am going to wish you all sorts of
things."
Gerald Lakenhanm strolled by, a few
minutes later, with several other im-
maculately -dressed young mon. He
stopped short when he saw Jermyn.n.
"Back again, sir?" he remarked,
holding out his hand. '
Jermyn nodded. He was glancing
at the little company of itntusic'al• com-
yak
edgy young ladies to whom: Laken -
ham's companions ;were making their
way.
r"I got back this afternoon."
"`Had a good time?"
"Very, thank you."
"My ratan Grayson wasn't such a
fool after all, was he?" Gerald con-
tinued.
"iHie was unnecessarily secretive,"
Jermyn answered dryly. "If he had
treated us with a little more, confi-
rd'ence, one could have appreciated his
efforts more."
'Gerald hesitated for a moment.
"If it isn't taking a liberty," he
ventured, "1 have 'known Miss Cluley
so long by sight -it would be such an
honour if I might be presented."
Jermyn introducer) him. The boy
'bent over Sybil with admiration writ-
ten in his face,
"Always hoped to halve this plea-
sure, Miss Cluley," he declared, "(but
you 'know, you're the sort of myster-
ious lady°of the stage. One never
sees you anywhere or hears of you,
and lately you seem to manage some-
how, even to keep ,your photographs
out of the paper." I
"You know," she laughe`there is
no such effectual advertisement as
self-effacement."
"But you," he replied, "are the
one person in the world who needs
no advertisement of any,4, sort. I am
simply delighted to ba able to say
that I have met you at last, -Miss
Ciuley," he added. "I am going to
tell the other . fell•ows and you'll see
how jealous they'll be!"
'She looked across the room and up
at him with twinkling .eyes.
"I think that your friends are am-
using themselves far too well for any
sensations of that sort,"'she assured
him.
He laughed a little self-conscious-
ly"They. are only (boys, after all," he
said, fingering "Good -night,
his tie. Good -night,
Jertmmtyn! Good -night, Miss Cluley!"
'He passed .on. Jermtlyn watched
him with a night frown.
"I am convinced that it is the be-
ginning," Sybil remarked, "of my
downward course. I feel that I have
been introduced to a really danger-
ous man -about -town. What a pity
that these -nice boys do such silly
things!" •
Jermyn was thoughtful for a time.
He glanced around the place and. the
atmosphere of it seemed somehow'
to depress him.
"Sybil" he went on .sudden);, "tell
ore, is there any real change, is
there anything really and entirely
'different between us because' - be-
cause I am married?"
'Why should there be?" she asked
wonderingly.
(C°I don't (know," he replied. "I'
don't even know whether I ought to
ask you ta•have supper with 'me here
alone. 'Look at all these people.
They all have their little arrange-
ments. One knows of then. In you?:
profession• it has :become the custom
to recognize them, to regard then as
ir.cvttable. Will they dare to look
at you and remark that you are lav-
ing supper with a married mar,, 1:
werd'cr?"
"You silly person, of course they
will!" she laughed. "They have been
waiting too long to have something
to say about me, to miss thi.. And
what does it matter? Are you a li
shade the, better or the worse for
what people Fay about you?"
"Somehow or other," he confessed,
"I, always have the feeling that' on.
is."
"It's ouite a new theory, she sigh-
ed. "What do you propose doing a-
bout it? Neglecting me?"
"Never!"
"Then don't be foolish." she beg-
ged. "Be thankful that I am a sens-
ible person and that our friendship
is a sensible and rensnnahle thing.
If other people misunderstand it, why
should I care? It is a small price
which we must pay for a great joy.
If it were not Inc Mary's sake, it
would even amuse rte."
Mr. Levenden passed Ohm with a
knowing smile and how. Some other
of .Jernyn's acrluaintancf''would have
;.,'oeie by without rerognitrnn if Jer•
noel had not forced. it. 1[e rose to
his feet when the time conte to go, a
little impatiently, yet a glance from
her, as he arranged her coat, soothed
him again.
"To see you and he with you again,
Sybil," he whispered. as they went
nut, "is nnore wovlerful, even, than I
had hoped. I feel so much younger,
life seems to have become mere elas-
tic, more possible, If only we could
escape from this!"
He waved hie hand hark at the
small tables with the rise -shaded

:He passed her arm through his and
they crossed the pavement.
CHAPTER XXXIV
The splendour of an early spring
had added eunshine to the other glor-
ies of a .prolonged London season.
Whilst the East -end was feverishly
excited over the financial inapitudes
of
a Radical government, the t
a g t Wes
'hiessolmied out in a glory 'of crocuses
and hyacinths, whose faint, promis-
ing odour seemed to hold atil Mayfair
Older' its spell.
Ude' Air'nerley, as a chose uo .
to be called, eueeeived y d`rterrds in a
house in k uare . Whiuelx they
'had rent or twelve months. She
game two dinner -parties and a dance
at all of which function's Jeri -nye
played the part of host perfectly and
lifelesslyt. It (was when the cards
were being sent out to her last enter-
tainment, a reception which ineluded
her More Bohemian friends, that
Lucille at. last approached the sub-
ject which had never yet lbeen 'dis-
cussed (between them.
I halve looked through your list,
Jermyn," she remarked. "I will send
cards to everyone, of course. But
what about IMies SSylbil. Cluley?"
Jermyn looked across the table at
his Miss wife.
`tCluley's name was not upon
my list," he replied.
"So I noticed," Lucille said. "Why
not? She is asked, I presume to a
good ,many such gatherings and your
professional connection with her
would seem to entitle her to a card
from me."
"There is no question," Jermyn as-
serted coldly, "of her being entitled
to an invitation. T do not, however,
choose to ask you to receive Miss
Cluley here as a guest."
(Lucille laid down her pen'and•turn-
ed slowly around: Jermyn, except
for his hat, was dressed for the
street. He had :been, in fact, on his
way to the door when he had paused
to answer his wife's last question.
What does that 'mean exactly,
Jermyn?" she asked.
'It means," he answered calmly,
"that I do not desire to bring the
woman, the only woman whom T
have ever eared to think of as my
wife, into my • house on the invita-
tion of one who has usurped her pos-
ition by a trick."
Lucille sat quite still for a minute.
"You are very' explicit," she' mur-
mered.
"I am anxious that there should
be no misunderstanding."
"By a trick," she repeated softely
to herself. "Yes, I suppose- that is
what it was. Do you think I• have
gained much by it, Jermyn?"
"You ha re gained all that you had
a right to expect," he declared.
"All that ,I had a right to expect!
I wonder! You give me, then, Jer-
myn, do you, all that a woman has a
right to expect, from her husband?"
assuredly 1 do not," he ad-
mitted. "On the other hand, most
marriages are arranged differently.
In most arriages the man has
something to say." .
She )cake t him across the room,
silently, almost hopelessly. She had
tried ev"erything, all the arts her
woman's wit could devise, and she
was a woman who knew all those
arts and was well -practised in them.
And there was nothing else, nothing
•further she could do . She sat there,
very slim and elegant, beautiful in
her plain, tightly -fitting gown, beau-
tiful in a manner entirely of her
own; beautiful though her cheeks
were thinner and her eyes a little
sunken.
"You are hard, Jermgn," she said.
"I am what circumstances Have
made me," he replied. "I lived for a
good many years without thought of
marriage, without care for your sex,
Then there came a time when, as I
suppose you 'would. put it, I fell in
love. No doubt I had it all the worse
because it wasn't an everyday occur-
rence with one. What 1 felt for Sy-
bil Cluley in those days I feel now
and eleall feel for ever. Is not this
sufficient answer when you speak of
my attitude towards you?"
.She shivered a little and ,turned
back• to her writing.
'It is a sufficient, answer," she as-
tsented. . .• . .
That night there were many people
who made remarks about Lucille. She
and .Jermyn were present at a din-
ner -party 'given by the Duchess of
Rochester, who was a eery •great,
persbn indeed. Lucille wore black, a
wonderful and rather daring gown,
against which the 'pallor of her
cheeks and the scarlet of her lips
seemed curiously emphasized. Lady
Florence could not make up her mind
about her friend.
"I cannot feel altogether satisfied,"
she told her neighbor at dinner, "a-
bout Lucille. Is she improved by her
marriage or isn't she? Is -she mar-
vellously happy or desperately mis-
erable? Look at her. To me she
seems more beautiful than ever be-
fore in her life, and yet there is
something 1 don't like."
'Her neighbor happened to he Sir
.Janes Bondman. Lucille's own phys-
ician. 1[e glanced across at her crit-
ically.
"To 0h," he remarked, "she looks
as though she hnd had some sort of
shock. Wasn't there a terrible
tragedy at her wedding. reception?
Of ccnmse there was. J so seldom
read the papers Of' 1 shnuld not have

ued apologetically. "Three was an

"Yes." lady Florence agreed. "I

"So far as her empearanc0 goes, T

Lady Flo•enre nodded.
"I see what you mean" she admit-
ted, "But tell me, from what does

night after the dinner party. Cone
trary to his custom., he entered the
house with her, although he turned at
once towards his study,
"You are not going to the ,eluib,
then?" she inquired. •
"Not to -night," he replied. '41 have
a little work to do here."
She followed hiimt after a moment's
hesitation, into his study. He went
over to his desk. !Then, glancing a-
round,' 1i'e saw her in the room. ,.His
eyebrows were slightly lifted e"
"You will excuse me," he remark-
ed, drawing some proof sheets to-
wards him.
"Jermyn!"`
He turned his head onee more, this
thime a 'little startled. Her ery had
rung out, shill and vibrant, the cry
of a woman in torture. She stood
looking at him, from back amongst
the shadows of the room which was
:it only by the green -shaded lamp
upon his desk. There was something
spectral about her appearance. ,
"Well?'
His monosyllable seemed only to
lash the passion which she barely
kept in check. -
"Jermyn," she cried, "you are
treating me hatefully, hideously! You
are torturing me! My God, haven't
you any heart at all? Are you go-
ing to keep me suffering like this un-
til the end?'"
"Why should you suffer?" he asked
calmly.
"Why should I suffer!" she repeat-
ed. "Don't turn away. Sit as you're
sitting now. Look at me. We've
known one another for a • good many
years. ,Do you think that it was for
nothing I lied? Do you think that
it was for nothing that I told you
that hateful story? Do you suppose
I didn't ge ,through Hell before I
made up my mind that it was the
only way?"
"I am not able," Jermyn said, "to.
follow the intricacies of your reason-
ing. I cannot conceive of any -wo-
man fashioning so devilish a scheme.
She came just a little nearer • to
him. It was as though he was a
magnet which drew her. She seemed
to be keeping away with d'iffrchlty.
"Jermyn," she e, claimed, "some-
times I think That you must be a
creature from some impossible world.
You don't understand -you -•a writ-'
er! You'Ive written of things, you've
felt things. What did I do it for?
What did I run that risk for? Not
for your name -.my own is better.
Not for your money=l have -thine
than you. Not for your title - I
could use a greater than yours if
I chose. Jermyn, you know that -I
love you -you know that (-have lov-
ed you always!"
""I do not know that," he declared.
"I have never known�it."'
"You were a fool!" she cried. "You
were a fool not to see and know! It
is because you keep your head in the
clouds, it is 'because •you are always
thinking and preaching that mien and
women are strong enough and fine
enough to live amongst the moun-
tains and never come down to earth.
We aren't; we weren't made like it.
I love you as a real, human wom;.n
loves and worships the only man on
earth for her. Nothing changes me.
I suffered agonies at Annerley, but
those agonies were nothing to what
T• have suffered since you -and I left
England together six tn'onths ago."
"'Are you reproaching me with
anything•?" he asked. -
"My' God, yes!" she shrieked. "I
am reproaching you! You are treat-
ing me brutally just to gratify your
own lust for revenge. I am your
wife, Jeumym. You can't escape from
it. You are married to me. Read
the service. You heard it, 'every
word. Think what our,life has been!
You have kept erne away with both
arms -me, who have been, -:thirsting
for a single word of kindness from
your H -pe, a 'single kiss, a fugitive
caress, exert the touch of your arms,
You could feed me on trifles, Jer-
nnyr7. I'd pick up the merest scraps
of affection and grovel for more. But
you -I can't hear it any longer! Oh,
I can't hear it!"

'high lest bruising occurs. It is us-
ually necessary to pad the digger
chain, especially if the potatoes are
immature. If the soil is damp it
may stick to the rods and offer suit-
able protection.' When the • soil as so
dry that it sifts through the chain or
belt other measures niust. ,be taken
and for this it is preferable to split
pieces of rubber hose and tie th
around the.rods. Similarly pis
highly important to pad all h ' and
solid parts of t'he digger with which
potatoes may come in contact. Any
