Ay s © DOJBLEUAY tORALL Co. 0. f SYNOPSIS Pauline, sentimental, trustful, sin- cere and 'loving love, becomes en- gaged and 'marries Dennis O'Hara in the belief that their blissful happi- ness will continue unchanged through the years. On her wedding morning she awakens with a litrangepremon- ition that maybe love does change, a thought buried in her mind by a letter from her closest friend, Bar- bara. the night before. Pauline a- dored Barbara who had been mar- ried, was the mother of a child which (lied. but now divorced and living a life which some of her friends could not understand. Be- tween Dennis and Barbara is a seeming wall of personal dislike by both. Six months after P'auline's THIRD INSTALLMENT wedding, Barbara conies for a short stay. During this visit Barbara con- fesses to Pauline that there is a man she really loves, but she refuses to tell his name.:. . NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Oh. yes, at the Club." "Because I'd love to get you some- thing to eat if you're hungry." She looked as if she hoped he would say your vacant chair, of •course, but otherwise perfect." Dennis scowled and took up the paper. Barbara might be in love, he told himself, .remernbe•ing ,.Pauline's words last night, but that any man could possibly fall in love with her.— Pauline her.Pauline came. into the room at :that moment. "Wihy — Barbara!" she said, amazed. "Yes—myself in the flesh," Bar- bara said calmly. "I had a wire this morning on urgent business. I must go back. home," "Go back! You haven't been here a week." "I'll come back -never fear! Your spare -room bed is too comfortab to forget," said Barbara.

"Does Barbara ever do anything besides talk?" Pauline laughed. "Not often. I wish I could talk the way she does —she's so awfully clever." "Clever! Rubbish! She talks like a cheap novelette." "Dennis!" "So she does. All this stuff about love and marriage and twin souls." "She doesn't mean half she says," Pauline declared, "Let's hope she doesn't." Dennis answered drily. Ile set Pauline on her feet, his arm still round her. "Run up to bed, you'll take cold. I —" He broke off, as there was a slight sound in the doorway and looking up he saw Barbara there. "So scrry," said Barbara, looking directly at him. "7 came down for a book. I bad no idea you were in. So sorry!" she added again, a little smile curving her lips. "Good night!" and she went away. Dennis looked angry. "Gocd-night " said Pauline. "She knew good and well we were here," he added. "Damn the wo- man!" he added under his breath. "I told you I knew Barbara wasn't happy," Pauline informed him later on when she was lying cosily in bed. she said in her calm voice. "I an "I wouldn't tell anyone but you, not at all afraid. but you are drivin Dennis, darling, but she does love Father recklessly, you know, an someone—frightfully!" there is Pauline to consider, so... "Half a dozen of 'em, I should Afterward he wondered stupidly think!" what she had been going to say, bu her words were lost in a chaos of shouting and confusion and th grinding of brakes — and then struggling back to consciousness h heard her voice still, agonized broken with tears—unlike, the cool indifferent tones to which he had grown so irritatingly accustomed. "Oh, my deer—Dennis—Dennis -- speak to ree--Dennisl" le ee of xil to his s- an- x8, eh re er y "Yes." Barbara's queer eyes look- ed straight ahead down the road. "I should think you would make quite a good lover," she agreed. - Dennis jerked the wheel. "I dare say Pauline could give you any information you require," he said. "A. lover and a husband—two dif- ferent things," Barbara said, sweet- ly. "Aren't we talking a lot of rub- bish?" Dennis said with exaspera- tion. Barbara folded her hands in .her lap with mock resignation. "Very well—*from now until our journey's end I am dumb," she said mockingly. Dennis quickened speed. The jour- ney could not be at an end too quickly for him. They turned onto ane of the new bread arterial roads, and he let the engine out to its full- est extent. He never dared do such a thing when Pauline was with him. Presently he stole a side -long glance at her. She wad sitting very still, eerfectpy' controlled and unmoved. She was a strange woman, he thought, and ahnost angrily, he wish- ed he understood her. Barbara suddenly touched his arm. "There's a crossroad just ahead," v d v e e "No—seriously, one!" Pauline in- sisted. "There was quite a different look about her when she told me." She lay still watching him with adoring eyes. Presently she said shyly, "Dennis?" "Um?„ "You love me best in all the world, don't you?» "What would you do if I said the answer was in the negative?" he asked, 'teasingly, "Die," Pauline whispered. "Then you may /safely live," he assured her. ' Pauline sighed and closed her eyes. It was no use; she realized that nothing on earth would ever make Dennis romantic.

When he saw her he broke off in dismay. "Hullo! Couldn't you sleep " he asked, with a poor attempt at .humor.

Paul- ine had been right. and she had a heart hidden away beneath all her artifielalithi . Pauline had said something else about her, too., What was it? Oh, yes, with difficulty he sorted the words from the confusion in hr's brain—"She does love someone — —frightfully!" And then his own question: "Who is the poor devil, then " Who was the poor devil?" In the midst of all his pain O'Hara was conscious of a maddening desire to know the name of the man. Well, he would ask her! Surely to ask a simple question like that would not be wrong? how he could only see Barbara's eyes' and the -tears on her white cheeks— only feel the cool fragrance of her Pips on his, only realize through the sea of pain in which he was drowns ing that at last he knew the name of the man. she hived. Pauline was busy arranging fresh flowers in the drawing room when the news was brought to her. She was not feeling very happy. Bar- bara's sudden departure had hurt her and left her puzzled. Pauline longed to be a perfect hostess as well as a perfect wife, Her anxious mind explored every nook and cranny of her household to find in what particular detail she had failed in hospitality, and reluc- tantly she decided it must have been her husband. Dennis was never nice to Barbara. It was impossible to disguise the' fact that he did not like her. This morning at breakfast time, for in- stance, he had shown only too plain- ly that he objected to taking Bar- bara in the ear. It was too bad of him. Pauline carefully arranged . the red roses in a silver bowl—a wedding present. Only six months ago since she had unpacked it, together with a host of 'other lovely things. Only six months! It seemed al long time, and yet she knew people , who had been married for sixteen years --/twenty years, thirty years and even longer. "I expect the time will go more quickly when we're really settled down and used to being married,", Pauline told herself with a little feeling of satisfaction. A sharp thorn from one of the rosea gave Pauline 1 a nasty prick, and it was while she ' was busily wiping away the tiny bead of blood from her finger that the door bell rang. "The postman!" Pauline thought as she went to the front door, but the little Ietter box was empty and through the glass panelsshe could •see the burly outline of a man's waiting figure. Pauline opened the door, then -she caught her breath• sharply; for the Man wore an officer's uniform. Ile looked at Pauline with kindly eyes. "Mrs. O'Hara?" ho inquired doubt- fully. "Yes," Pauline was panicky, 'pfd she owe one ofthe tradesmen ,any- thing?' She ,had always` been so careful about not getting into debt. She was a thousand miles from the truth when the man reluctantly broke the news to her. "I am sorry to say there has been a bt of an accident. Gentleman by name O'Hara—." Pauline thought she would have died on the spot. Dennis hurt! Killed! "Oh, , my God!" shd whispered, white -lipped. Combined _N(ext Wleelc.
