THE
FORBIDDEN YEARS

WADSWORTH CAMP

“Drink, Gray dear. You need |
It. You’ll love little Esther 1
anew, and share a grand wed
ding with her. Come, Steve.
Trundle me home, and let my
old bear sleep off his touch of j
delirium, and learn to love his
very own honey again.”
Barbara awoke to pain, phy
sical and mental. Her arm
ached abominably, and her
head rebelled from the mem
ories and presentiments that
crowded it. In order to avoid
a repetition of last night’s
dangerous quarrel she would
have to conquer Harvey’s
stubbornness, and destroy at
last the illusion of guardian
ship he had imposed upon
himself. To a large extent her
future in the theater lay in
Charles Rulon’s hands, and
she didn’t see how she was
going to avoid his exigencies
that night. Gray must not
come near her until she had
got Harvey in hand. The
thought of him threaded every
other problem. She had made
a bargain and she meant to
keep it. All that mattered was
love, and they loved each
other.
It was early and she tele
phoned his house. She had no
fear of his not answering
now. Momentarily his eager
ness made her forget the pain.
“I’ll be around in half an
hour.”
‘That’s why I called you,”
she said. “You mustn’t try to
see me until I’ve settled with
Harvey.”
Reluctantly he agreed.
“Wouldn’t be surprised if
he was having you watched.
But you can’t put me off for
long, Barbara, battle or no
battle. I’m happy, dear, in
spite of everything. Are you?”
“Over our bargain?” she
asked. ‘Yes. I love you, Gray.”
“Then why not duck with
me instanter, and let all the
bombs explode during our
absence?”
She laughed happily.
“Wish I could, but you know
that’s nonsense.”
She promised to telephone
again as soon as she had got
Harvey in hand.
"You’ll come then?”
“I’d come this instant if it
weren’t for mixing you in
another free-for-all.”
“Gray, have you said any
thing to—to—”
He laughed ruefully.
“Quite a lot, but I don’t
know how well it took. She’s
full of mysteries, I thought
she threatened me last night.
She thinks she has some se
cret way of handling me, but
she’s wrong. Don’t worry
about our bargain, Barbara.
My side’s safe.”
When she had hung up her
brief explanation died. She
forced herself to prepare for
the day’s difficult tasks. First
of all she walked to Hackey’s
office, uneasily suspicious of
being under a calm surveil
lance. Was Harvey actually
having her watched? The
thought, she tried to per
suade herself, came from hei
own conscience.
Hackey tok one glimpse of
her bandaged arm and flung
up his hands.
“There’s a curse on the part.
First Manson does a double
somersalt, and now you.
Been riding the roller-coast
ers, or was it just a common
street brawl?”
She answered on a burst of
nerves:
“What difference does it
make how it happened? Peo
ple do have troubles, and they
don’t take them for fun. Will
you let me play this way, or
would you rather close until
it’s well?”
He loosed an outraged roar.
“Close? Just when Charles’
puny offspring is beginning
to toddle? No, Norcross
dollink, we don’t close even
if you have to make your en
trance on a stretcher. Get it
through your head, sweetness
and light, you’re elected to
stroke the crew with one fist,
and if you take a sledge ham
mer to that you can pull the
oar with you teeth.”
“I’ll do my best.”
Her voice softened.
‘See here, Barbara, you look
as if it hurt like pins. I don’t
want to drive you too darned
hard.”
“I can stand it,” she said.
He came around the desk
and patted her shoulder.
“ Courageous trouper! I’ll
go to the ten-cent store and
buy you a diamond bracelet.”
He looked closely into her
eyes. His own were troubled.
‘ Have you broken the news
of the catastrophe to Rulon?”
She shook her head. Her
eyes wavered before Hackey’s
worried gaze.
“I suppose I needn’t tell
you, beautiful, that Charles
imagines Nature produced you
one of its loveliest works, ex
clusively for him.”
She tried to turn away, but
he wouldn’t let her.
“Don’t joke about it, Mr.
Hackey. It’s been worrying
me ever since the opening.”
“I’m not joking,” he said
grimly, “and I’ve been worry
ing, too. The only way out is
for you to look on Charles as
an Apollo, and to believe that
sometime in the beginnings
of the world it was decreed
that you two should either
marry or live in sin. There’s
no use asking. I can see the
hideous truth.”
“I'm sorry, Mr. Hackey. I
don’t care for him that way.”
He clasped his hands and
prayed to her.
“Make him think you do,
Norcross. Sting the poor fish
along until we’ve squeezed a
few pennies out of his lousy
piece. Then I’ll buy you a
brand new, curly-headed lead
ing man.”
She shook her head.
“You know I can’t do that
Mr. Hackey.”
“Then his work’ll go to
pieces, he’ll put his knife in
you any way he can, there’ll
be war in the house, the play’ll
topple over and croak, and all
because you won’t do Hackey
the tiny favor of making a
man dream he's happy. You
hurt me, Norcross. I’ve a mind
to give up the theater for or
gan grinding. Would you toss
me pennies then, stony heart?
I bet I wouldn’t get a soli
tary soiled copper out of the
Venus I brought forth from
the sea of obscurity and put
on an altar blazing with lime
lights.”
“Could you say anything to
him?”
Hackey laughed wildly.
“Oh, yes, sweet turnip, I
could say a lot of things, any
one of which would send the
play up in smoke. The only
salvation is for you to make
Charles dream he’s in para
dise.”
She turned towards the
door.
“I won’t do it. I wish I’d
never taken the job.”
His answer came quietly,
regretfully: “As thi'ngs stand
you mayn’t have it long.”
“It isn’t my fault,” she said
sharply.
He spread his hands.
“But your smashed arm
probably was. Run along while

HOT ICE BOX
Miami, Fla.—Can you imagine an

! catch on fire? Well, one here did.
ami two file enaiiiae wore called out
I scratch a little puolicity
out of it.”
She shuddered as she
thought of the publicity he
would have made out of the
truth.
“I'd rather nothing were
said about it, Mr. Hackey.”
He winked at her.
“Yes? Bye-bye, Norcross,
you ought to have learned by
this time that all the stage
Is a World and a lot of other
newspapers.”
She went, defeated, realiz- (
ing that Hackey was right, !
that after to-night there
would be war in the house;
her sense of being watched
as she returned to the apart
ment persisted. She tele
phoned Harvey and asked him
to come to see her after he
left his office, but when she
opened the door at a ring late
in the afternoon it was Steve
who faced her, frowning, the
wrinkles multiplied around
his eyes.
“What’s happened to your
arm?”
She attempted her old eva
sion of a sprain, but he
wouldn’t have it.
‘I can’t make you tell me
the truth. I suppose I can’t
possibly persuade you to tell
me what happened here last
night, but I’d like to know.”
“Steve! you’re cross with me
you’re scolding. What makes
you think anything out of the
way happened here last
night?”
“Just the trilling common
sense I possess.”
He took her hand and led
her to the sofa.
“You’ve had your way, Bar
bara; against my advice you
got hold of Gray. You needn’t
tell me he wasn’t here last
night. I know he was, and
you’ve completely turned his
head again.”
“I'm glad,” she whispered.
He put his arm around her,
and drew her close.
“I feel my responsibility,
Barbara. What about this bar
gain you made with Gray last
night?”
She closed her eyes and
whispered again: “What do
you know about a bargain?”
“What he said when he came
home. He said he’d made a
bargain that he meant to
• keep.”
She nodded.
“We made a bargain, Steve,
but I won’t talk about it: you
can't make me. We love each
other; that’s all anyone need
know. Nothing else matters.”
“Quite a lot matters,” he
said. “You and Gray aren’t
the only ones to be consid
ered. There are Gray’s par
ents, for instance, and need I
mention Esther Helder?”
“No you needn’t, Steve.
Gray doesn’t care for her.”
“But,” he said, “it’s quite
possible she cares for him,
and after all he’s asked her
to marry him. He did his best
to shake free last night but
Esther hung on by her teeth.
She’s clever and willful, and
I’ve a fair idea she’ll find
one means or another to keep
him bagged; so I don’t see
what valid bargain you and
Gray could have hit on.”
“It’s true,” she said simply,
“that Gray and I can’t get
married, but there’s nothing
in the world that can keep
us from loving each other.”
His cane ceased its tapping.
“Precisely what I thought.”
For a long time he pondered
then he pressed her hand.
“Barbara, promise me to
hold fast until I can look
around and see what can be
done with Esther.”
“No use, Steve. Esther isn’t
the only reason it wouldn’t
i be wise for Gray and me to
marry.”
‘Hold on just the same.”
The telephone rang, and
Barbara answered it, shrink
ing from the voice that came
too fondly through the re
ceiver.
“I’ve got our table for to
night, dear.”
“What table, Charles? Oh,
yess. The opening of the Bars
and Stripes.”
A night club would be bet
i in the early morning to subdue the
flame. Instead of neepinj cool like
it should have, the machine got
hot under the collar when its mo
tor jammed, allowing electricity to
flow' through it until ln3u«ation was

LUCKY IN FALL
I os Angeles—When he got out of

as a burglar suspect. As they en

dived backwards out of the window.

ter than a ride in the park.
She might just possibly put
off the evil moment again.
As she came back Steve
looked at her curiously.
“So you are going to the re
turn from Elba? So am I.”
She forced a light tone.
Anything to keep him from
Gray and their bargain.
“What do you mean by the
‘return from Elba’?”
“That,” he said, “is what
Adelaide calls this opening.”
“You’re making fun of me,
Steve. What would Mrs. Twin
ing know about the opening
of a night club? Dare say
she’s never been near one in
her life.”
His face was grave.
“Adelaide know's quite a
little about this one, and so
do a number of other people.
Probably you’re one of them
since you’re going.”
She studied his serious face,
puzzled.
“I don’t know what you’re
talking about. There’s been a
lot of talk and curiosity about
the Bars and Stripes, and
Charles Rulon asked me to go I
quite a while ago.”
He laughed shortly.
“The curiosity will be satis
fied to-night, and the talk
will burgeon.”
He sighed. i
“Is this Friday, the thir
teenth?”
“Don’t be absurd. Yov know
very well what day it is.”
“A black day anyway,” he
said, “what with the folly of
you and Gray, and Essie’s
dramatics.”
Barbara started. The name
started a train of memories.
She recalled the night on the
boat when Mr. Manvel had
told Steve that he had heard
from Essie, and was afraid
she was capable of making
trouble, she remembered the
hints later that Essie was
getting money from Mr Man
vel; most distinctly of all she
recollected Mrs. Twining’s
guarded attitude towards her
interest in the unseen, dread
ed woman.
“Who is this Essie, Steve?”
He clasped his hands over
his cane.
“Didn’t you ever hear her
mentioned when you were
with Adelaide?”
“I heard the name a number
of times, but whenever it
came up everybody got un
comfortable and secretive,
and when I asked Mrs. Twin
ing about her she went tight
lipped, too. I only remem
bered her because everybody
was so mysterious. Is there
any reason you shouldn’t tel]
me who she is?”
Again he laughed.
“No reason whatever now,
although I didn’t see why so
disagreeable person should in
terest you. She married Lyon
Helder’s brother and was
popularly and judicially cred
ited with killing him. During
the past eighteen years she
has been supported by the
state in one of its more Spar
tan institutions. Recently she
was discharged, very quietly,
probably at her own behest,
in order that she might an
nounce the return from Elba,
as Adelaide calls it, in a man
ner calculated to rake up the
whole forgotten scandal, and
make the Holders and their
friends squirm. I’m squirming
a little at the prospect my
self.’’
