Gilbert Gleason extended a warm band to Josephine Wllhy. It was Indeed a treat to meet her on the boulevard. He had seen her for a few moments only during her last visit to Chicago and that was three months ago. "Bert!" Unconcealed surprise and pleasure glowed In Josephine's dark eyes as she placed a slender hand In hts. There was a pause, then she continued "When did you arrive?" "lite list night?tod late to call you up. but I was going to do so this morning. This Is a wonderful surprise. Jofinding you up here. I don't want to bo curious." he had forgotten that he was atlll holding her hand, and when She made a slight more he dropped it awkwardly, and wen. on. "I don't want to be curious, but really, what are you doing up here?" "Why?I'tn house-hunting." "House-hunting! '8 that so? Funny, but I am too." They both laughed, but It was forced laughter, and when their eyes met, the girl's warered and heavy lashes dusted a pink flush that crept up her cheek. Then suddenly they lifted and Josephine spoke: ""Can't I take you downtown?or wherever you're going?" she added, doubtfully. "That's mighty nice of you, Jo, but I told my chaufTeur to be back In about ten minutes, so I guess I'd better wait." "Well, anyway, liert, you must come to see me before you leave, that Is, If you're here long enough to spare me an evening." "I'm staying indefinitely and will certainly see you again soon." Slie said good-by with a forced smile, started the car and drove down the boulevard. The smile disappeared and a frown not forced, slipped into its plare. She lifted a tan hand and found h tear on her cheek. Then her dark eyes flashed and she said aloud: "Josephine Wilby, aren't you ashamed of yourself? Why shouldn't he be house-hunting? Hasn't he a right to get married without yon getting, getting?oh. I wish I'd never ? ? ?I?-J * * * 1?.?1? flnH a M priuill^ru MSiri IU Iiriji UIIU a. iivuov ami >die hurst into tears. Gilbert Gleason watched the car oat of sight. "House-hunting! That's just m y luck! No sooner fall in love with a girl than someone else gets her?all my plans, wonderful plans, for nothing!" He thrust his hands into his pockets and as the car stopped before him, ordered: "Back to the Biittnore, Ted?" then relaxed and meditated. "I wonder who the chap is?lucky man! What a fool I am. Had no business getting a house before a wife anyway. Jove! How I've wanted her ?ever since that day in Chicago? wanted her to work for, to love; and now! I'll be a man. I'll see her again and we'll be friends." He lingered over the word "friends." Jo sighed softly as she replaced the telephone on the table and returned to the drawing room, where she seated herself at the piano and played dreamily, dstantly. She was as beautiful as the melody she played. A wealth of auburn hair crowned her oval face. At the belt of her white georgette gown was a cluster ef forget-me-nots?one had fallen ' on the bench. Suddenly the music blurred before her and leaning forward on the piano she murmured : "I can't love him?I mustn't ?but I do, I do." The doorbell rang and Mr. Gleason was announced. "I'm so glad you came, Bert." There was a quiver In her voice as she welcomed him. "I was wondering how I should pass the long evening. It's too rainy to motor and there Is no party on for tqnlght." She laughed and waved him to a chair. "He's probably In France," Bert thought. "Sometimes one does get tired of these everlasting dinces, you know," t - - j-?-J sue auueu sumj. Bert studied her in kllenoe, admired the soft hair, noticed the artistic hands, beautiful, unaided by jewels. "D'you know, Jo," he said Impulsively. "you're beautiful." "Why, Bert," she laughed. "I was just thinking what a handsome mat yeu are." "Handsome Is as handsome doea," he quoted. "You remember that." "You're Ashing, you naughty boy, and I absolutely refuse to make you conceited." "There Is only one way you could make me conceited. Jo." He bent nearer and she almost whispered. "How?" There was a pause. Then, with a tiny shiver, she swung around on the nionst and heran nlavinr "What a cad I am," Bert murmured. "Jo! Jo?I'm sorry?I wouldn't have offended you for the whole world." She had ceased playing and was looking np at him. , "Why, Bert. It's for me to apologize. I couldn't help asking. T was hoping against hope, wondering whether I could have been mistaken about the? the house hunting." Then, desperately. "Oh. Bert, are you free?" "Free!" His big hands were clenched. His head thrust forward. "Free! "?f course T'm free?but you!" "No. no." A new light shone In her eyes. "I'm not free?I aua yours." i mKBeSm fi WE TRY TO KEEP 01 SO UP TO THE MINUTE, 1 " WARE NEED CAN BE FIL1 I EVEN IF WE HAVE 1 WANT, WE WILL GET IT ] | THIS IS A HARDWAI NEEDS AND WANTS ARI " WHERE YOUR CONVENIE! | I ia'^i'^visuviiiiiiaiaiiSiisiiiiBiiiSPiia IKillBimnMflBrcVXSESlBBKKa I FURS \l I Highest Market Price Pa I 25c a Pound Pi | - Rri nnr 11c vnnr fnvi/lc fi UO J \/Ul A\/ ff AV/ Geese, Etc.
