This amazing piece of information
gave Ruth a shock.. In her selfish
absorption in Gloria and herself she
hadn't thought of the servants and
the inevitable toll of Christmas efts
"Do you know, Jennie, I didn't buy
any gifts before I came up here and
I almost forgot, but I want to give
you a present-" She was just about
to offer money, and then something
in the kind, stolid, face warned her
that this would be wrong. "I'd like
to give you something of my own
that you like. If you'll just tell me
what you want you can have any-
thing of mine -any dress or hat or -
well, just anything you like."
The girl's eyes spread wide.
"Anything?"
"Yes, anything, that -is, if 1 ;have
anything you like. If not I'll have to
follow Professor Pendragon's exam-
ple and give you money to buy your
own gift," •
"You've got such lots of - pretty
clothes-"
Ruth thought her wardrobe very
limited, but waited.
"There is one dress -not a party
dress -I've always wanted one -
there ain't any place to wear it, but
if you could -do you really mean it
-anything?"
"Of course," said Ruth, expecting
a request for one of her three pre-
sentable evening, gowns.
"Then I'd like that blue silk thing
with the lots . of lace -.the thing you
wear here in ,your own room."
She pointed• to a negligee thrown
over a chair by the dressing -table.
"Take it; it will make me very hap-
py to know that you have it." She
tried to visualize Jennie in the negli-
gee, but the picture was not funny,
She turned her head away so that
Jennie should mot see the tears in
her eyes.
"You'll most likely ,:be getting a
lot of things yourself, Miss; a man's
gone down to the village <for the mail.
You'll be getting a lot of things from
the city."
"I'm afraid not; still I may get
some letters' which will be welcome."
"I'11 go down and see -he may be
back, He went early."
She was back ,in an incredibly
short space of minutes bearing one
letter, from Dorothy Winslow.
"And Miss Mayfield wants to know
if you'll come to her room. when
You're dressed," 'said Jennie, who,
seeing that Ruth was going to read
her letter, left her with another hur-
ried, awkward "thank you, Miss," de-
livered through the door as she hur-
ried off with her blue silk prize.
Dorothy's Christmas letter fairly
bubbled over with happiness, and
with an affection for Ruth which she
had never suspected,
"It seems ages since you went
way," she wrote, "and I'm just dy-
ng to tell you everything -how Nels
was awfully humble and admitted he's
been a perfect silly over that imita-
tion high siren, and then he was
jealous -furiously jealous over your
roses. It was'. bard not to tell him
the truth, but 1 didn't -not until af-
:erward, when he asked me to marry
him.' Yes, he did! And we've done

but that didn't really make any dif-
erence. He's always been able to
buy his own cigarettes and so have I
end there's no reason why we can't
io it together just as well as apart.
We've got the funniest little apart-
ment on Thirty-fourth Street -just a
room with an alcove and a bath and a
titchenette. Nels is going to get an-
ther place to work -one room some
dace -very business -like and all that
ort of thing and I'll work at home.
But please do hurry back and have
sinner with us sometime. You'll see.

Ise Nels will get ever so many
leagues ahead of me. And please
have You delivered my message to

message I know for Nets heard from

name who is' s.o splendidly entertain-
ing you over the holidays is going to

n time for the party we'll put on to
celebrate when the cheque comes.
You know I feel that you made it all
happen,"
She chatted on over ten pages of
rt school gossip that made Ruth ra-
ther homesick, and eager to get back
to New York, especially as the first
abject of her visit had been accorn-
lished. But had it been accomplish-
ed? The snake was killed and Pro-
lessor Pendragon was cured. To her
the connection seemed obvious. Pro-
essor Pendragon had been cured ho-
use the object of George's faith had
been destroyed and with it the mixed;
born malaiiy which, through faith, he

gon. He had shown that he could
fight. Hexing gone so far he must go
further and drive away Prince Agii
ipogue. Then every one would be hap
py-that is, every one except herself
and Terry. She was no longer sure
that Terry loved Gloria: Probably he
had loved her because no man could
be indifferent to Gloria, but perhaps
he had resigned himself tothe unro-
mantic role of friend. He had sus-
pected her of being interested in Pen-
dragon for herself. That might mean
anything - his thought might have
been fathered by the hope that some
one would remove Pendragon, one of
his own rivals; or perhaps she had
betrayed her love for him and he
wanted to turn her attention toward
another object, or perhaps -but men
were such curious creatures and who'
could tell? At least he did not Jove
her which was all that really mat-
tered now. Nels and Dorothy could
go working and playing together
through the future, but she must con-
tent herself to
her art; and
cartoons!
While she thought she was dress-
ing, for she was really •very curious
to see Gloria and hear what she had
to say. The door of Gloria's room
was half open and Ruth knocked and
went inside at the same moment.
GIoria was fully dressed and seemed
to be in the midst of packing.' There
were dark circles under her eyes as
if she had not slept.
"Ruth, I want you to do something
for me,".was her abrupt greeting.
Ruth waited for an explanation.
"Will you?" '
"Of course, Gloria -anything."
"I believe you would at that -you're
an awfully nice child; sometimes I
suspect that you're older than I am;
but this is something rather nasty,
so don't be too sure that you'll want
to d -o it. I want you to tell Aggie
that I can't marry him -that I must
have been insane when I said I
would, that the whole thing is utter-
ly impossible -that it' would please
me if he would go back to New York
at once. I don't want to see him any
•
more,"
Ruth struggled to conceal her joy
'at 'this announcement,
"Don't you think Gloria, that it
-would be more effective if you told
him yourself?"
"No; and besides I don't want to
see the bduite-he-lie- Oh, I can't
bear to look at him -to remember
everything-"
"Suppose he doesn't believe me?"
"He will"
"You could write a note,"
"Then be wouldn't believe;, 'a note
would be too gentle. He'd want to
see me and talk, but if you tell him
he'll know that it's final or I wouldn't
have chosen to tell him through a
third person. Will you do it?"
"I was going to leave myself," ex-
plained Gloria with a wave of her
hand toward the evidences of pack-
ing. "But I can't. George has disap-
peared -absolutely disappeared-"
"When -where?"
"I said disappeared; that doesn't
mean he left a forwarding address.
He slipped off into the nowhere,
sometime between midnight and
morning and of course I can't move
until we hear from him."
"You can, too! Ruth was intense
in her excitement. "You can -you've
given up the Prince; the next thing
is to give up George. He's been the
cause of all your troubles. I know
you don't believe it, but ho has -he's
hypnotized you -and if he's disap-
peared you ought to be glad of it."
Gloria looked at her curiously from
between half-closed lids.
"Why do you think I won't believe
you? I don't believe or disbelieve, I
know that I have been hypnotized, or
mad, or ill -something. I woke up
this morning quite new- Perha ,s
it's religion-" She laughed with
something of her old careless mirth.
"Anyway I'm quite sane now, and Ili
do want to get back to New York
so that I can begin rehearsals in
Terry's new play.. I feel like work-
ing hard, like beginning all aver
again- I feel --so-so free, that's
the word, as if I had been in ,prison
-a prison with mirror walls, every
one of which reflected a distorted vi-
sion of myself. That's all I could see
-myself. always" myself and always
wrong."
"Mayr 4 come In?"
It was Angella at the still half -open
be wedded for life to
such art -newspaper
He's so anxious to see you for him-
self before he will be assured that
you're really all right, after the shock
last night. He's waiting for you now.
The other men have gone off on a
hike through the snow. John has
such a passion for exercise -afraid
of getting stout, though he won't ad-
mit it. I told the Prince that I would•
try and send you down 'to him,"
"I can't go now, Ruth will go
dawn and talk to him."
"Ruth? But he wants you."
A sign from Gloria counselled Ruth
to go now before the discussion, and
she slipped out unnoticed by Angela
whose blue eyes were fixed on Gloria
awaiting explanations.
Prince., Aglipogue was ,,not difficult
to find. She could hear his heavy
pacing before she had reached the
bottom of the stairs. • He stopped
abruptly when he saw her approach-
ing, waving his cigarette frantical%'
with one hand while he twisted his
moustache with the other.
"Gloria, Miss Mayfield, she is well;
you have news from her? She is
coming down?"
"Miss Mayfield is well, but she is
not coming down just now. She wants
to be alone, 'but she sent me-"
It was impossible.to .tell him. Much
as she 'hated the man she did not
quite have the courage to deliver
Gloria's message without preliminar-
ies.
"Yes? Yes? -speak, tell me; she is
ill, is it not?"
There was a nervous apprehension
in his voice and manner that made
Ruth suspect that the news would not
be altogether unexpected.

- His cigarette dropped 'unnoticed :Up-
on
nnoticedr1tp-
on the rug and his jaw dropped ip. a.
stupid 'way that made him look like
a great pig, One part of Runt's brain
was really sorry for him, for he hath
doubtless been fond of Gloria in his
own way; the other half of her brain
wanted to laugh, but. she only stood
with bent head, as if, having struck
him she was waiting for his retalia-
tion. It came with a rush as soon
as he had assimilated the full mean-
ing of her words:
"1 do not believe -it is a plot -she
would not ,send a message such as
that to me -it is the work of that
Riordan- He is' jealous- I will
sue her for breach of promise -one
can do that, is it not?"
"Women sometimes• sue men for
breach of promise," said Ruth, who
was quite calm now, "but men sel-
dom sue women; besides, you can't
sue Gloria, because she has no
money."
"No money?" He laughed and lit
another cigarette to give point, , to
his carelessness and unbelief.
"You say she has no money? With
a house on Gramercy Park, she is
poor?"
Behind his words and his nonchal-
ant air Ruth caught the uneasiness
in his small eyes and knew that she
had struck the right note.
"It is true that she has a 1?ouse
on Gramercy Square, but it takes her
entire income to pay the taxes. She
got thee'
hous from'her second hus,
band; the third was more careful. He
only gave her a small income, which,
of course, she loses when • she re-
m arries."
For a moment he stared at her in-
credulous, but there was nothing but
honesty in her face.
"It is the truth, you are speaking?
Come, let us sit and talk -have a cig-
arette? No? You do not smoke? I

had an object to achieve and could

she spoke. If she followed her 'm

she told him the truth he would be-

further urging. Evidently he had.
thought that Gloria had money, and
Gloria, to whom money meant noth-
ing, had never thought, to tell hint
anything of her affairs. It was a re-
pulsive task but Ruth decided to give
him the information he wanted.
"You must understand," she said,
"that Gloria is merely a professional
woman, an actress, not an heiress.
She has no money except what she
earns. One of her husbands gave her
the house on Gramercy Park.. A year
later she married again and when she
was divorced from her last husband
he settled on her a small income -
hardly sufficient to keep up the house
when she is not working. If she
marries again she loses even that.'"
She rose to leave him,' having fin-
ished with her mission, but he caught
her hand,
"You are speakingthe tr uth, Miss
Ruth.?
She drew away her hand without
answering,,.
"But you? Perhaps you have been
helping her?"
"I have even less than Gloria."
His amazed lack of finesse -his ap-
palling vulgarity stunned her into
making a reply.

It's your job and your savings that are at stake.
The danger of inflation, with its black shadow -deflation, -will remain as

6 mon't'hs, 12 months, 18 months. Only time will tell. As quickly as controls are
unnecessary, they are dropped.
After nearly 6 years of war, industry Cannot switch over to normal production
of civilian goods by a snap of the fingers. Reconversion takes time. The whole
system of raw materials, l abor and production has to be re -geared.
