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 strange premon- 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 died, 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 Pauline's wedding, Barbara comes for a short stay. During this visit Barbara con-, £esses to Pauline that there is a man she really loves, but she refuses to tell his name. Barbara decides sud- deniy to go home and Pauline insists Dennis drive her to the station. Ir- ritated, Dennis chives recklessly, and they are in a crash. Barbara escapes injury but Dennis' leg is .broken. As ho returns to concsiousness he learns who the man is that Barbara loves. It's himself. Dennis spends several weeks in the hospital. Barbara re- turns to stay with Pauline, but on one pretext or another fail; to visit Demos with Pauline at the hospital. Pauline plans highly for Dennis' re- turn home. Barbara stays only one day after Dennis' return from the hospital. Much against his will Dennis finds a new attraction in Barbara, who plays the same cool and detached role as formerly. A fortnight after Barbara's return to New York, she receives a letter from Pauline that she and Dennis are coming to New York for a little va- cation. 'Upon their arrival a round: of gay entertainment gets under way I — throwing Dennis and Barbara much into each other's company. Dennis is in love with Barbara. He breaks through all barriers and tells her of his love. Pauline is cal- led home by the illness of her moth- er. Dennis stays on. Barbara ie happy. Both fight against love — out it's over powering. Dennis de- clares his love and Barbara admits she loves him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Then he heard Barbara's voice, a little breathless and nervous. "It's ,Jerry—'I made him .come he. Give him a drink, will you, Dennis, while I go and snake thyself look beautiful." Dennis turned quicldy. Jerry Bar- net was already in the room, and Barbara had escaped. Jerry nodded stiffly. "How do! Didn't expect to find you here." Hi eyes were more unfriendly than his voice, and Dennis answered calmly, •THE McKILLOP MUTUAL Fire Insurance Company Head Office, Seaforth$ Ont.

"Does your head ache, Jerry, that you won't drink? Mine does." Barnet made no reply, but he shut the door behind him with a little slam and came forward. "Have you seen this picture of Evelyn?" Barbara asked. "Not• tot good, I think --look!" Barnet tore the magazine from her hand and flung itacross the room. "What's that fellow doing here?" he demanded, For a moment' Barbara sat mo- tionless; then she looked up. "My dear Jerry!" "What's that fellow doing here?" Barnet demanded again. "I've sus- pected him all along. That night it the theatre—,every time he's been in your: company—" Barbara rose to her feet. "If you're going to be a cad, Jer- ry, you'd better go," she said. "Oh, yes, go! to make room for him, I suppose," he almost shouted. He caught her arm roughly, swing- ing her round to him. "Has he been snaking live to you?" he demanded. "How dare you." ?3e laughed. "Oh, 1 dare very well. I know you, Barbara—anything for o Dew en^"neat. And you his wife's friend, eh?" Barbara's eyes blazed in her white face. "Let go of my arm," she said in a very still voice. "And when you've clone that you can walk out of my flat and never come back." There was a tragic silence, broken only by Barnet's heavy breathing; then sud- denly his anger fell from him and hel began to plead. "I'm sorry. I was mad. Forgive use. I didn't mean it. I was jealous. You drive me mad, Barbara." "Yon can go out of my flat and never come back," Barbara said again. "I've done with you." "No. no!" His distress was Hifi. able. "You know how much I care for you. Forgive rte, Barbara, ant' I swear it will never happen again." "No." Her eyes were hard and relentless. He fell back from her, breathing hard. "Do you—mean thio?" he asked thickly. "I never meant anything .:a. meth in all my life," Barbara answered. "So I'm thrown over. am II After all this time—after' an I've done for you. Kicked out like an importunate "Of course. Dennis is a darling," said Dennis's wife." "We've just been to see niy wife off at Paddington. Her mother is ill— she was sent for," "I see." There was an awkward silence, and Detthis knew that this man must have seen the tears and flushed. dis- tress of Barbara's face. "Have a drink?" he asked with an effort. "No, thanks." The silence fell once more and re- mained unbroken till Barbara re- turned, "Richard's himself again!" she said lightly. "I've been unbur- dening my soul in a fit of tears," she informed Barnet. "Too many late nights and too much to drink, so Dennis has been telling me." She lighted' a cigarette and pushed the box across to him. "Aren't you going to drink, Jerry " "No, thanks." She made a little grimace at his ]Doody face. "Well, mix, ono for me, anyway," she said. Dennis took up his coat, "I'll be. off." He• was hating Barnet with all. his heart, and 'yet he knew that for Barbara's sake be must show noth- ing of what he felt. "Go and see him out, will 'you, Jerry?" !Barbara said • coolly) • She nodded to Dennis, ";Good-bye—;ring me up sono time" When Barnet returned she was sit• ting calmly: on a big humpty stool' by the fire, smoking and turning the pages of a magazine. • "We'II have tea when Mellish tramp.

"I'11 make you pay— my God, I'Il make you pay to the ;last farthing!" 'he shouted, and tvar gone. seenef Pauline stayed with her mother for a' week. She was not unhappy, but she was restless and preoccupied. "It's as if someone is walking over my grave," she told her another once, with a little excited laugh, "Do yor believe in premonitions. Mumsie? I never used te, but just lately I've hat' the sort of feeling that something is. going to happen, something—some- thing I shan't like. It's not.Dennis- he's written every other day, and he's quite well." She laughed.. "Den- nis writes such funny letters, Mule- sie—you really would think he's shy of rare!" Pauline's mother smiled. She could not quite matte up her pain!' about her daughter's marriage. Pant ine seemed happy enough. "Tho Bret year of marriage' is always a little difficult," her mother said gently; "and.1 think my Tittle girl is manag- ing very well from what. I can hear:" She paused, then asked, "And What is Dennis doing in New York with- out yew?", ' ' "0h,' I think he's quite all right," Pauline said. "Dr, Stornaway is up I there, you- know, and that's nice for 1 Dennis. ,Anil thenthere is Barbara, of course. I think he's seen her once or twice," "Poor Barbara!" said 'Pauline's mother. The girl looked up quickly. "Why do you say that?" • she asked. •"Barbatta's . quite happy—at least I think she is. She's got a nice man she goes about with; his name is Jerry Barnet. lie adores her, but I don't think she cares very much ' for him. But' there Is someone she loves. She told me so once. I won- der who it is," she added almost to herself. "I don't .think Barbara is a very faithful . lover," Panline's another said, but this Pauline would not al- I low. "She is! I understand her Once she really loves' anyone noth- ing would ever change her. Of course she doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve." She said something of the same sort to Peterkin when he arrived to dinner one night, having driven for- ty utiles through the cold and rain to see her. They had dinner alone, as Pauline's mother was still in bed. "It's nice to see you, Peterkin," Pauline said. She hoped he thought she looked well and happy. She hat' Put cn one of her prettiest frocks in his honour and she wore the pearl necklace Dennis had given her for a wedding present. "Stili as radiantly happy?" Peter kin asked. "Of course. Dennis is a darling," said Demtis's wife. Peterkin emptied his wineglass. "Why isn't he here:" he esker bluntly. Pauline flushed. "He would have rem—he wanted to come, only I knew it would be so dull for hint with Daddy away. Ile would have come. only I persuaded him not; to." "I see," Paulino was offended. She thought Peterkin; was silly to be so oldfash- ioned. "Is Mrs. Stark looking' after him?" Peterkin said suddenly. "I asked her to," Pauline . said quickly,, and then wonderecl,why she had spoken defensively, and then quite suddenly a wave ofi sheer hone sickness for Dennis swept over her. "A. penny for your thoughts," Peterkin said suddenly, and Pauline :felt her eyes ridiculously filling with tears• as she answered. "Nothing. I was just wondering if Dennis is mis- sing me as much as I miss him." Peterkin winced; he had not yet got used to the fact that Pauline was married, and her love for O'Hara still hurt hire. "Of course he is!" he said loyally, "71e'11 be jolly glad to have you back." And Pauline .brightened instantly and flushed and di-tmpled and talked eagerly of her own little home. Ther she broke off and flushed, and Peter - kin kept his eyes on his plate, Paul- ine hurriedly changed the subject. It came to her mind when she lea:- undressing adundressing that night and she sat down on the side of the bed and stared down at the carpet, lost it thought. Would Dennis be pleased if—ef there was to be a baby? Shc had never heard him say he would like to have a son, for of course ft would be a son—a• son with Dennis's eyes, end hia way of laughing. Paul - 1 ;no's simple mind leaped ahead and was lost in a mist of rosy dreams, Barbara could be godmother' of course, and perhaps dear old Peter• kin would be godfather, and if it was a boy they would call it Dennir Peterkin O'Hara. And then she cried a little because the dream was so beautiful and be- muse she felt she did not deserve to be so happer, and then she kisser Dennis's picture. which stood in its old place beside her bed, and then I she knelt down and said her prayers I Dennis always !teased (her abojt her prayers. "Such a baby," he said, but she had !a kind of feeling that ail the sante Dennis liked her to pray for him. And she prayed for him now il- ' simple faith and love, and she pray cd for Barbara, too, little dreaming that at that very moment those two were for her sake fighting desper- ately against their passionate love for each other. ! Pauline slipped into bed and fell asleep almost at once, only to awake en about two hours later with a last beating heart and a feeling roe. fear. "Dennis!" She sat up in bed and Spoke his name aloud in the silent room, stretching out her amus. For an instant she was almost sure he hacl been theme close beside' her: sure he had tomne to her in trouble, great trouble,' begging something of her- something•-- "Qh, what is it, darling, darling!"
