sumption of familiarity, leaves ths
party abruptly. ’ . .

Jerry's childhood and youth at her

Wealthy father, when she ia twtajj shA

CHAPTER V.—At a hotel dinner
Jerry sees Duane and Is conscious of
his admiration but refuses to change,,
her attitude toward him. Jerry be
comes convinced she has not the ability

pensive painting equipment to an al
most penniless girl student, Greta Val,
who cannot understand her generosity.
A painful scene results.
CHAPTER VII—Returning from an
evening of gayety. Jerry is shocked at
hearing from Miml that Theresa has
kilted herself She also learns thst
Miml Is Theresa's mother, and Is

PART TWO
CHAPTER I.—At horns Jerry Is sn-
thuslastleally welcomed by her ador
ing parents. She wins their sympa
thies with the pathetic stories of The
resa and of Greta Val.
CHA1TER IT—Unable to settle Into
the routlns of everyday life ip her
home city, Jerry Is dissatisfied.
CHAPTER III.—The "sameness,” the
lack of Individuality In the houees In
the city, has shocked Jerry's artistic
Instincts and given her an Idea. She
determines to create a standard of
beauty In house building, borrowing
money from her father, Jerrold Har
mer, to do It, and Incidentally deter
mining that the work shall be nrr "ca
reer.” A letter from Rhoda l.a Faye
Informs tier that Duane Allerton has
lost his fortune In Wall Strest and Is
praotlrally destitute. In pity and sym
pathy she writes Allerton. offering him
a position in her father's automobile
factory.
CHAPTER IV.—Alierton applies to
Jerry's father for a position, partly ex
plaining the situation, whlrh Mr. Har
mer. in a measure, understand*. He la
rather favorably Imorensed with Aller
ton. and after a brief Interview t%lla
him to go uud aee "Prudence.”
*'
CHAPTER V.—Mra. Harmer. under
standing much nioie of the situation
than A Tort on reallsec, akes an In
stinctive liking .to the young man.
(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK)
Jerrold hnd Indeed no ground for feel
ing that Duane, even as a prospective,*
vomewhat poorly prospective, son-in
law, had any designs upon the ultimate
management of the Harmer Motor. la
•pite of ids conscientious attendance
in the showroom, his effaceraent from
the active business of the concern was
complete. But he developed an inor
dinate fhterest In the rich, jrosy littig
Middle Western city and asked end-,
less questions about It, questions of
Intimate import, when lie hnd SerfoM
were having luncheon together as they
often did.
’Tm trying to xcciimate myself to
the corn belt." lie «nld lightly, In ex-
planation of this Interest in things
about town. Rut Jerrdld, who was
making him the aubject of an avid at
tention and study, knew It was some
thing deeper than that.
“Why, do you know,” Duane asked
him one day, ,“you can pick up lane
along the river, and near the rail
roads, for a song, absolutely for a
song? Building sites that ought to be
worth—well, I suppose not quite their
weight in gold—but worth a fortune*
anyhow In ten to twenty years.” _
Jerrold said he supposed so, his
shrewd, always kind dyes, fixed qn

“And besides, for a rich fanning

men have to. get fifty per cent of the

stato. Shouldn't you say so?*
"It eeeeins no more than reason

"There's a pile of money here for
any one that goes after It; isn’t there.?*'
- "Whnt'a the matter with you? Are
you trying to sell me the; Middle
West?”
"No* I Just want to find out if I am
sold on it myself," Duane explained,
laughing. haven't got a whole Ipt

“I wish you luck, my toy. I can’t
think of a pleasanter Indoor sport.”
And so while Duune was satisfied
to leave the Harmer Motor company
to Jerrold’s manlpalatton, Jerrold was
satisfied that it should be so, for be
knew the young man was keeping a
wary eye on things in general, and
that when the opportunity came for
him to cut loose for himself, this time
at least he would be sure of his
ground. He told Prudence about it.
“That’s nice,” she said, warm in her
approval. “It’s Just like families—thqy
do so much better in separate honses.”
“You can hardly call him part of
the family,” protested Jerrold. “The
way that girl acts—It’s Insulting!”
Dnane wrote to Jerry. She did not
trouble to return the letter by posl,
she merely tore the envelope across
a couple of times, unopened, and hand
ed it to her father.
“Take It down and give It to him.
will you?’
“Now, Jerry, hove a heart.” object
ed the badgered father. “Why do you
insist on dragging me Into this thing?
Why, ft will make him feel like a
fool to have me pass It across to him.
with the eompliuumts of the house,
and so forth. Mail Itl Stamps are
cheap ‘enough!"
“Daughters are a nuisance, after all,
aren’t they, ■ father?” site agreed, and
went out at once in her little car to
Inspect the cottage on which ahe was
engaged.
Jetrold, thus left with the scraps of
the futile correspondence, turned to
Prudence.
“What ahull I do?' he asked help
lessly. . —-
"I don't know,” she said gently.
“Whst do you think?"
So Jerrold carried It down to the'
office and sent for Duane, ’it’s none
of my’‘hnsinesR, of course.” he said.
"Don’t think I care how much yon
correspond with the family—and don't
blame me—but I don't know what else
to do with It. She gave it to me and
said to bring It to you.”
He passed the bits of paper to
Puany hastily as though they turned
his fingers. Duane examined them
hopefully, sow the unbroken seal of
the envelope.
“She didn’t read It did she?’ he
said dejectedly.
“I don’t know, maybe she did.” said
Jerry’s father. “She took It upstairs,
and It was quite a while before she
came down. Maylte she read It while
she was up, and then sealed It again
to fool you. I wouldn’t put It past
her."
Dunne laughed, and examined the
envelope more hopefully, hut the seal
bore no faint trace of tampering
fingers.
“1 know th,ey say, Xfever say die,
and try, try again, and all that non
sense,” Jerrold went on gloomily. “But
I don’t put much stock In It In this
case. Jerry’s not a stubborn girl, nat
urally. IT she makes a mistake, she
always admits-it and rights about face.
I don’t # think she likes you—if you’ll
excuse me for saying so. And I don’t
think—”
“You don't need to,” said Duane
grimly. “But she. dogs like me. And
she brought me out here, and by the
Eternal, I'll stick If it takes ten
years!”
“Well, I think you’re wasting your
tlipe v my boy, but have It your own
way.” Jerrold was sympathetic. "I
don’t understand girls myself. Pru
dence isn’t like that—*you can always
talk her down.”
