She turned his father ar.d answered him tour acem:s!y: "Then at least we'll starve together." P!iO was rewarded by the exultation in i:.dney's voice as he exclaimed. "Mary:" "You see. father." he added for the old neTitleinrui's benefit. Mnhii.p a jrrand stnnd play, eh." went on the ?'ap magnate renmrstless ly to Mary, "before my i li 't of a son.

"Well, what can you do to keep from Ftarvinp;" demanded his father. You're I'.' t a prxlucr. You never will be. Yu"re just an idler. You couldn't earn a week. V.ut you'll have a r ha n-.-e to try. You'll pet out of my h"us. tonight, or I'll have you thrown out." Now. father" "Nor another word, sir, not another word:" cried his father and stamped out a i crrily into the hall. Mary pave an involuntary sigh of re lief. "It's gettirs more like that play ev ery minute." Rodney chuckled. " h. I:"!ney, I'm so, so sorry." snivel-! Mary. "You were bully the way you stuek up for me," said her lover. "When .r.f -1 i v, -1 - ; vv f6 -,TA HI! . ..." if -tN 111' "Than at least we'!! starve together." you said we'd starve together I just .- hoked all up." I'leM-e don't.

I n.ay not have much at the start, but wr.t' h my finish" What are you goir.- to do?" she si?!,-ed h'.n excitedly. "I'm going to work." "You are really?" "Yes. indeed. Father couldn't make me do it. but ycu can. I'll work for you." "Oh. you are splendid!" Mary cried. 'Shall you got a position;"' "I should say not! Work for seme ore else? Ho'. I'm goinu in business for myself for you. I'm poinp to jsi'.ow the stuff that's in me. Of course ve can't get married till I've made nd. Will you wait?" "Yes. dear," said Mary shyly. "You're a dandy!" cried Kodney, moving nearer to her. "What business are you going inlo?" she asked. "I don't know yet," said Kodney. "I'm going upstairs to pick a suitcase nnd think. AVait here for tne. I'll be back in tifteen minutes," he sang out, if' -;J; .-tjrf' ABVEK FTT?TT .doc Novelized by Samuel Field From the Successful Play by Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett grabbing her and kissing her hastily but heartily. "Oh. oh please" protested Mary. "Don't mind, Mary. I'll get you used to 'cm," he called from the doorway. She threw herself back on the Louis XV. sofa next the yellow typist's desk and waited, in a sudden reverie. The ! w .: - -"V-fv',Va hi 4 y-i .)f w ?w He Hugged Her Greedily to Him. carved wooden rim of the sofa back just fitted a chink in her coiffure com fortably, and she lapsed into that curi ous state of introspeet'on that com";; sometimes with bodily and mental re laxation. What did she think of herself for what she'd done this evening? Was she any better than an adventuress? Was she not cajoling a young man into proposing to her for the love of money? Would Rodney's father really reward her as he had promised to do? Strnmrely enough it would not have seemed so bad, she felt, if she didn't like Rodney. Well, if the old man didn't pay. let him keep his money. She shouldn't care. It was something to have won a love like Rodney's love for her. There was something very lovable about Rodney Martin In a moment Rodney himself bounded in aain on her day dreams. There was the thud of a heavy kit bag dropped on the marble floor of the hall by the front door, and then he ran in to her Impetuously, with his arms open. "Mary, sweet heart I" he cried. He held her away from him a mo ment to regard her face. "The pater's upstairs dressing for dinner." he rattled on. "I shan't even say good by to him. Serve him right. I'm going to take a stase down to the Collegiate club this very night. Can't afford cabs now." "Rodney," whispered Mary conserva tively, "you must work hard and be brave." "And can't I do that for the sweelest sweetheart in the whole world?" he de manded rapturously, folding her again In his arms. lie hugged her greedily to him, and she yielded to him a little despite herself. There was something fresh rnd clean about the boy, and certainly his kisses were not distaste ful. The arms she felt around her were a man's arms and very strong. In the end Rodney decided he would have a cab "anyway, and so he and Mary left the house of the soap khsg In each other's company without fare wells. It was their last ride together, so to speak, and n very blissful one for the young lover. Rodney was going to take a room at the Collegiate club, but lirst they spuu across the somber park to Mary's apartment, somewhere in tlie West Seventies, and Rodney bade her a rapturous good night while the motor throbbed and the taximeter spun. The gout had been so benefited by the explosion of yesterday that Cyrus Martin had gone down to his ollice next iiioniinir. as Mary guessed he would, and the two met there on some what more impersonal terms than in the Fifth avenue library. Very imper sonal indeed Mary tried to make It seem to the wily magnate and threw forc?thmg unwonted and chilly into the manner witii which she greeted him. !3'ell." iia becaa. "do jou ttunli out 4 Xlh$k scheme is going to work?" "Yes." said Mary quietly. "I do." "Yon really think you hare got him to go to work?" he demanded eagerly." "I have." said Mary. "lly George, that's great!" said Mr. Martin gleefully. "Isn't it " said Mary. "You're sure he wasn't just talking?" "No, he went upstairs to pack and go out and make a name for himself." "You're a wise girl, Mary. Isn't it wonderf i:l?" "And you said I couldn't do it," said Mary coldly. "1 said I didn't think you could, but you have, and I owe you JfJ.oUO." "Oh, there's no hurry!"' said Mary, still quite coolly. "Never put off till tomorrow the money you can get today," said the millionaire. "Aren't you proud I've been so suc cessful?" said Mary presently. "Tr-md: I'm so darned happy I'm making this check out for .".)." "Oh, Mr. Martin:-' Mary cried, quite taken aback. "It's worth ?"!",OiX to me to have my boy really want to work, not just to do it to pler.se me." said the old man. really moved beneath his gruff exte rior. "What a difference an incentive makes!" "Ioes:i't it?" said Mary, smiling at her cheek. "Rut what about your marriage?" "He said he wouldn't marry me till he'd made pood if I'd just wait." Her employer looked at her a little anxiously. "Do you think perhaps he may real ly love you?" he asked. "Of course nor." said Mary. "it's the lirst time he's actually want ed to marry anybody," said his father. "Oh. it's just that I've been very blue eyed and baby faced!" said the secre tary modestly. "I guess you're right." agreed Mar tin. "Of course I am. Why. dear Mr. Martin, even for this," she said, point ing to her check. "I wouldn't give your son one real pang. He's too nice a boy. When 1 break our engagement he may feel a lit lonely and be very sorry for himself for a few days and give up women forever, but pretty soon some charming girl of his own podtion of Ins own world, who needs to be petted and spoiled and protected, some limousine lady will come along, and they'll live happily ever after." "Nonsense!" said Mr. Martin. "I don't agree with you at all. I bes-in to wish this marriage were going to be on the level."' "It wouldn't work out," Mary inter rupt el. "l m a business woman. Mar riage and the fireside and leaning on some man are not for me. I've been independent too long. 1 couldn't stop my work for a man. and there can't be two heads in a family two happy nea'is. l.ven if your son did love mere-ally love I wouldn't marrv him. Just now he's twenty-four, with an in- dia rubber heart that is easy to stretch and easier to snap back. All men at twenty-four are like that." "I suppose so." Mr. Martin comment ed reminiseently. "I remember when I was a young man there was a girl my heart was broken for a week per h::ps ten days however, however" Then, abruptly changing the subject, he inquired. "What's mv son going to work at?" "I don't know jet," Mary said truth fully. "Do you think he'll make good?" "He will if he keeps .it it." "Well, you'll keep him at it, won't you ?" "That wasn't our agreement." said Mary. "I only undertook to iret him to start to work." , "II m!" went .Mr. Martin, tapping the arm of his chair. "Isn't that true?" demanded Mary quietly. "Quite, quite." said Martin cannily. "I was just thinking we might make some agreement to have you keep him on the job." "To keep him on the job?" echoed Mary faint heartodly. Here was a new complication if the soap king was proposing a second chapter in the de ception. She had honestly meant to give the whole thing up. She truly did not want Rodney to get permanent ly interested in her. She had let him kiss her the memory of his kisses still trembled on her lips but she had done that for the boy's own good. Poor lit tle secretary, pretty litl.'e Mary ; ray son, what was she to think of things, how cleave her way through this tan gle of motives that bound her heart and hands? She had let biin.kiss her. yes. but had it really lieen wrong in her? Was it bad? No, she found her whole soul protesting, it was not wrong or bad. !t had been for the boy's own good, she told herself again. She hug ged the thought greedily, tasting a por tion of that joy of women in giving herself ep to some man for his good. Rut she would not snoil UU life. S!h had beeu firm asto that And now I here was old Mr. Martin-coming back at her with this hateful power of money and trying to bribe her to go n. What should she do? Suddenly, by a complete change of venue, her thoughts attacked the case from a different angle. She had been enough in the business world to know the iower and use of money, and from a French grandfather she had inherited a streak of the keen and honest thrift. Let the rich people look out for them selves; the poor had to. Curiosity, too. set in. and helped dictate her answer when she finally made it. "Well," she said at last enigmatical ly. "I'm a business woman." Mr. Martin looked at her delightedly. "What strikes you as fair?" he asked her. "I'd rather the proposition came from you." rejoined Mary. "What do you say to your present sal ary, and at the end of the year I will personally give you a check for 25 per cent of what he has made?" "That wouldn't interest me," said Mary. "What's your proposition then?" ask ed Martin. "State your terms." "My present salary doubled." said the business woman promptly. "I'm that's pretty steep." "Y'ou told me what I'd done already was worth $oO,(XX) to you." retorted Mary. "Merely a figure of speech, my dear." said Martin. "Let's see, you're getting $40 a week, and" "Fifty dollars, and I want $100." "Sounds like a hold up." "Then let's drop it. This new con tract was your idea, not mine. Good evening" She moved to the door. "Hold on, hold on." Martin cried aft er her. "I was simply figuring," he es- fc Sit - a fffeA v . .; "Then let's drop it." plained; "tell you what I'll do. Seventy-five dollars a week and 10 per cent of what he makes." "All right, I'll go you," said Mary. "Good," said Mr. Martin. "Will you just write me a note stat ing the facts and consideration?" Mary pursued. "Certainly." He began to write, and as his pen moved across the paper Mary went on: "As soon as you see Rodney you'll have to discharge me." "I will, violently. I'm a pretty good actor under your direction." (To Be Continued.) Women of Sedentary Habits.
