The Way of
These Women
by E. PHILLIPS OPPLNHEIM
(Continued from last week)
She suddenly collapsed. She lay
face downwards on the Sofa near
where she had been standing. Her
long, slim body was convulsed with
sobs. She shook from head to foot,
her hands beat the cushions. Jermyn
sat and looked at her. iHis expression
was simply faintly softened by a pity
entirely impersonal. Nevertheless,
he rose to his feet and came and
stood over her.
'Lucille," 'he said, "I am sorry. I
had hoped that you would recognize
the . situation. It is not my fault
that 1 married you -you know, that.
Therefore, what do I owe you? ,You
keep me here by your side Eu't you
can't expect to buy those things front
me which a man can honorably give
only when he loves. 'I have nothing
of that sort to give you, Lucille."
She grew gradually_ calmer. When
she got up he 'was for . a moment
startled by her appearance. He would
indeed, have led her to the door, but
she ran away from him like some
frightened animas.
"Don't! Don't.. touch me," she
moaned, "not just now. '1 can't bear
it! I suppose I am hysterical to-
night. Don't come near me, Jer-
myn. Go back to your place. Don't!
Don't! Don't!"
`iShe half ran out of the room, her
shoulders bent, a strange limpness
about her. She seemed suddenly to
have lost carriage'; -'grace and life it-
self. The door closed. Jermyn went
slowly back to his seat. 'He turned
the lamp a little higher. He looked
down at' the proof sheets 'before him
-he saw nothing. It seemed to ,him
that -the room . wee, full of voices -
ghostly, 'plaintive voices. 'He- heard
them on every side, curiously thrill-
ing in their unearthly note of des-
pair.
' Don't! Don't! Don't!"
CHAPTER XXXV
Sybil remained an enigma to the
gossips. of stageland. 'She 'was gen-
tle and courteous to her old friends,
'but her avoidance of new• acquaint-.
antes was marked and definite. Jer-
myn was the only man with whom
she 'was ever seen, and Jermyn was
.scarcely the sort of person to be
lightly accused of a liaison. Mr. Lev-
enden took a fatherly interest in her,'
and his wife did all she could to
bring S'ylbil ..more into tljeir little
world.
"What you want, my dear," she
decided one day, "is a chaperon. Ev-
ery young girl of your 'position and
appearance living alone, should have
a chaperon."
."Should they?" 'Sylbjl answered
-quietly. "Well, I never feel that I
need one. 'I don't see what d owe to
public opinion that 'I should. bore my-
self with an old, lady and pay her
for boring me:"
"But, my dear, it's so very Ancop-
ventional," the manager's wife per-
sisted. "Even Miss Cartnell has one
-in fact they all do."
"Perhaps," ' Sybil remarked, "they'
need them. , ,If the stories one hears
about Miss Cartnell are half'of them
true, she certainly does. For my
part, I go about so little that it
would seem absurd .for me to saddle
myself with such an incubus. One's
work doesn't 'finish in the theatre,
'you know, 'Mrs. Levefiden," she con-
tinued. "I often spend an afternoon
thinking over my part, and I read all
the plays which are sent to me. Tha
takes a good deal of time."
(Mrs. Lei'enden shook her head.
"My dear," she said, "it isn't na-
tural at your age. You ought to be
going about with other young people
and enjoying yourself. That's the
way to keep young. Why, you'll be
a little old maid in no time."
"That doesn't terrify me in the
least," 'Sybil assured her, smiling. "I
don't at all believe that old maids
have such a very bad time -not the
sort of old maid I fancy myself as
being."
"All the same, it isn't natural,"
Mrs. Levend'en persisted. "Except
for -'forgive me, dear, for mention-
ing his name, won't you? -(Sir Jer-
myn Annerley, you are never seen
out with anyone at all."
"There is no one else," Sybil re-
plied, "whom I care to ,be seen out
with. :Sir Jermyn is always inter-
esting. We have our work to talk
about, and many other things."
"But, bless the girl," Mrs. Leven -
den exclaimed, "it isn't a good thing
to be. seen out with no one . except
one man! There's safety in num-
'hers, you know. Gpme and ' spend
the week end with us-this'week end,
now. Harry has some young men
coming clown and we'll stir things
up"
Sybil laughed and shook her head.
"I know your parties are delight-
ful." she said, "but they are not for
me."
Nevertheless, Sybil thought of her
friend's advice that morning when
she tool's her usual walk in the Park.
Although she would never have con-
fessed it to Jermyn, in those days
she was very conscious of missing
the groat things of life. The very
brilliancy of the season, the perfume
and color of the flowers, the soft blue
sky, the sunshine and the mild west
wind, all seemed charged to her some-
times with a sort of delicate mock-
ery; a spurious, fantastic invitation
towards the delights of a life whose
gates were closed to her. She watch-
ed the faces' of the young girls whom
she met, so many of them with
young men of their own age. Were
these things indeed' passing her by?
She was exactly in this mood, stand-
ing on the edge of the curb -stone,
preparing to cross the road, when a
great motor -car drew up akmn st be.
side her, and a young man leaned
from his place at the driving wheel
towards her with uplifted hat.
"Good morning, Miss 'Cluley!"
She recognized him at once,, al -
ea*e1tiiP
though•the very thought of his name
gave her a faint shiver. It was Ger-
ald 'Lakenham. 'He looked at her a
little eagerly.
"I wondered," he said diffidently,
"seeing you alone, 'Miss Cluley - I
wondered whether I couldn't 'tempt
you for just a short spin?"' I've got
a new car --a perfect beauty. She
:goes -swell, just get in and let me
put her on fourth speed down the
'Bayslwater Road. Do!"
!Sybil hesitated only for a moment.
Alfterwards, it seemed amazing to
her that she should have consented.
"I'll cone," she decided. "I think
I should love it. The car does look a
beauty."
!The boy's"'face was flushed with
pleasure. 'He handed her in, and the
chauffeur left "his side and entered
the tonneau,
"You wouldn't rather be behind,
would you?." he inquired a little
doubtfully. "I don't think it's half
such fun myself. There's a wind
screen and you 'haven't a very large
hat,, have you?" ' •
•
"I am sure that I shall like it bet-
ter here," she declared'. •
'The great car glided off togk its
place amongst the line of other ve-
hicles, and shot .out into the Bays-
water Road like a live thing. Sybil,
after a moment's nervousness, began
to feel the exhilaration of it.
"What' time have you to be back?"
he asked her.
"'Any reasonable time," she an-
swered. "It's about eleven now, isn't
it? .I like to have lunch about one."
"Good!" he exclaimed. "Two hours
-why, we can scour the country.
Would yoti care for another rug?"
"I am perfectly comfortable," she
assured hint, leaning back, "and per-
fectly happy." ,
They 'passed a little tediously out
of 'the suburbs into 'the country. Then
Gerald turned southwards and they
came to a region of curving., lanes,
lanes i whose • hedges were wreathed
with dog -roses and honeysuckle,
lanes which divided meadows in which
larks were singing, meadows starred
with yellow (buttercups. The sky was
bluer than'' ever that ;Horning, the,
wind softer. Sybil sat most •of the
time with half-closed eyes.
"Please don't think that you must
talk to me," she begged after' he 'bad
made several attempts at. spasmoic
conversation.. 'I know quite well that
one ought• not to -,speak to anyone
;driving abig car. 'Believe me, I just
like ,to sit back- and look out into
the country and breathe this air: It's
wonderful."
"And doesn't she rip!" Gerald ex-
claimed, enthusiastically. "Never
changed speeds since we turned into
the Bayswater Road, and that last
hill was a bit 'of a corker with the
pull up for those wagons. Look at'
her now, just with a touch. It's all
on the throttle. Why, 1 believer' I
could get her to sixty-eight miles an
hour."
"Don't try, please!" she laughed. "I
like this sknooth gliding along."
"We're not exactly crawling, you
know," he reminded her. "We are
doing an easy thirty." .
"Then, please don't db any more,"
she begged.
'They passed 'across a gieat com-
mon, where the gorse .!bushes were
breaking' into yellow blossoms and
the young bracken was shooting up,
a new' and !wonderful green. In -the
distance a lake shone like a mirror;
in the 'background the woods rolled
away to the horizon. Sybil's enjoy-
ment' was complete. Her companion
obeyed her 'bidding literally. He de-
voted his whole attention to the car,
and the few remarks he made were
entirely concerned with their pro-
gress. 'Wihen• at last they found
themselves once more in the streets
of London, Sybil sat up with a little
sigh of regret.
"Where shall I put you down?" he
asked. "Where do you live? I'll
take you all the way -I'd like to."

wee not?"
He assented. lie was suddenly a
little shy again.
"I wonder he began, after a few
moments' hesitation, "wouldn't you
come and have lunch with me some-
where ?"
She shook her head.
"Do you know, I hate restaurants,"
she remarked simply. "I never go
out at all. I am afraid you will think

"I know you don't often go any-

you in a restaurant in my ,life ex-
cept with old .Jermyn. I thought this

She looked at him for a moment
and hesitated. After all, she knew
without any conceit that her coming

morning had certainly been delight-
ful.
"Well, I will change my mind just
this once, if I may," she declared
smiling. '"I will come and handl

take me home almost directly after-
wards. 'I have a new 'understudy.

"Hooray!" Gerald exclaimed. "That

"When you two have quite finished
exchanging subtleties,". Sybil put in
gently. "Are you ready now? Read
those last two speeches again, 'then,
please, 'Miss Sinclair."
Jermyn leaned back in bis chair
and listened. Sometimes he listened,
sometimes he watched Sybil. She was
at all times too entirely natural to be
in the least embarrassed by his pres-
ence, and she devoted herself to her
task with a devotion which, consider-
ing that it was entirely a labour of
love, very much impressed him. Lat-
er on, when they were alone,, he re-
marked upon it. She laughed as she
sank on to a footstool at his feet.
"Isn't it your play, dear? I should
hate to think, if anything happened
to me so that I Was out of the cast
even for a few nights, that the per-
formance Would suffer too much."
"You 'are the play!" he declared.

came this afternoon with a face like
a thunder -cloud? It has cleared off
a little, but something has annoyed
you, hasn't it?"
'He hesitated. The last few min-
utes had been full of reflections, in-
spired by the delicate atmosphere
Which Sybil seemed always to create

he really 'wise in letting life slip by
her,'' h nursing for ever her hopeless
love? And then she smiled a little
sadly at the sheer inutility of the
question. In her heart she knew
that as long as she lived there could
be no other man in her life save
one. . .
'Gerald went joyously, round to 'his
club, and almost the first' person he
saw was Jermyn.
"Hullo, sir!" he exclaimed cheer-
fully. "Do you know whom I've tak-
en for a drive in nay new car this
morning?"
"I am quite sure," Jermyn replied,
"that the circle of your acquaintances
is far too wide for me to make any
reasonable guess. Unless," he added
his tone growing a trifle colder, "you
have 'been round to see Lucille?"
Gerald shook his head.
"I was driving in the Park, trying
my new car." he explainer, "and I
saw 'Miss Cluley standing on the
pavement. It was just an impulse
but it seemed to me that she looked
a little lonely. I stopped and asked

and wiped the tears away.
"I believe you're jealous, Jerilyn!"
she declared.
The puerility of his emotions. cod-•
fronted him now, unexcused and nak- -
ed. .
"I was jealous in the meanest pas -
able way," he confessed. "Gerald is as

of his age and temperament, and I
hated to 'have you seen with him.

without hurting his feelings. It was
only a moment'% indecision -and he
was just as kind and delightful as
could be. 'Now I know 'how you feel,
it is different, of course."
Jermyn rose suddenly to his feet.
Her answer had completed his humil-
iation.
"Sybil!" he exclaimed hoarsely.
"Sybil!"
Looking up into his face, she saw
the change. Her' knees began to
tremble. She rose slowly. Her eyes
were still fixed upon his, but she said
nothing. He...cau'ght• her' suddenly by
the wrists.
"It is intolerable!" he cried. "In-
toleraible!"
Her eyes alone questioned him, •
"'I am like a clog upon your life,"
he continued fiercely. "I receive ev-
erything, I, give nothing.. Don't you
know, child, that you are young and
that life is beautiful? 'Can't you
hear it knocking at the doors of your
heart? Didn't you feel it just a lit-
tle -to -day?" '
"I feel nothing," she answered,
looking at him with shining eyes, "ex-
cept when I am,with you. The rest
of the days may go as they please.
They do not count. They do not be-
long to ;my life. The calendar of my•
days consists only of the days when
we are together. You call yourself a
clog! You foolish, foolish person! Do
I need to tell you that I would soon-
er be as we are now and remain al-
ways just what we are to one an-
other at this moment, than have all
the boys in London crazy to marry
me?"
'He stood and looked at her -realiz-
ing. Hs felt suddenly humbled and
yet enrrclidd. It was the world's
greatest gift which she, was offering
to him, the love. which comes. without
bargaining,. (without the artificial
stimulus of passion, the love which
only woman can conceive in its high-
est form. Jermyn; felt in those mom-
ents a deep humility. The slight con-
ceit engendered by the: aesthetic and
purposeful exclusiveness of his life
served him no longer any useful pur-
pose. From the lips of this little•
actress, whose birth was middle-
class and whose education had been
scanty, who had been adrift upon ,the
world at the age when most girls
go to finishing schools, he received
the lesson of his life.
"I am not wya•thy, Sybil dear -no
one could 'be worthy," he murmur-
ed. . . ro
- The conventions which -it must be
admitted, . chiefly for her sake -Jer-
myn had hitherto made some effort
to observe with regard to his associ-
ation with Sybil, he from that mom-
ent ignored. They had. tea together
in St. James's Street and strolled af-
terwards along Bond, Street, looking
in the shop windows, making even a
few purchases. They were laughing
together and disputingover the pos-
session of a parcel, when Lucille pas-
sed them. She was in her landaulette
and .they were walking, but she was
near enough to see the sm::e upon
Jermyn's lips, to notice a new spring
in his bearing as hd walked alertly
along. Passers-by turned to look at
them, too. ' They were rather a dis-
tinguished couple -the prettiest wo-
man on the stage and the most bril-
liant writer of plays. It was a sig-
nificant companionship. Lucille was
swept slowly by. Her. cheeks were
almost ashen. her hand had stolen
involuntarily to her side, She smiled
at some friends who passed hy. bac
