Itll. tv rm Ltdotr Co. IUUt T,mhert had been cretttntc more nnd more unattainable as far as Gene Mathews was concerned. Having start ed him back In his own routine, bar ing urged him o his work and actually Inspired him with the desiro to paint, Betty had carefully taken herself out of his life. At first beyond a vague feeling of annoyance this did not bother btm much because he was attacking work with such a vengeance these days that he had little thought for conjec ture. But one afternoon at dusk hav ing painted until he was tired he stretched out In his chair with a ciga rette and wished suddenly for Betty. It would be nice to chat with her. He enjoyed her quiet comments and her laughing raillery. She was the kind of a woman a mrfn could tell his thoughts to. Thinking about n woman was apt to waken other memories In Gene's heart, but of late he had thought les and less of that bitter sweet time when he had dreamed of Elsie ns the one wom an". When he did remember he com pared Elile unconsciously with Betty. Elsie had darted into his place like a flame. She had never been still. She would flit restlessly from picture to picture, demanding his every thought. She had fired his brnin, but she was not comfortable. Betty was so different. She was al ways quiet when he wanted to think, she would never have dreamed of In terrupting him at his work. She could sit back after a pick-up dinner in the studio nnd think and dream just ns he did. It was wonderful to look up from one's work nnd to sec Betty flung carelessly in one of the chairs. Betty In her old brown smock with tumbled hair, and of late he saw Betty in hia dreams far oftenpr than he did a cer tain ultra smart young person with molasses-colored hair who had so en snared him that for weeks he had thought of nothing else. How foolish he had been. It had all been a piece of madness, a dream very sweet in the dreaming, but unfit for the realities of life. The opening of the door Interrupted his dreams suddenly and Betty herself stood on the threshold. "Hello." she said lightly. Gene sprang to his feet. She bad a basket in her hand and she put it down on n convenient chair. "Tour socks," she explained. "I came nnd got them the other day. I suppose you didn't know that you hadn't any to put on." She walked over to the easel, scruti nized the picture there, offered a couple of clean-cut criticisms which he knew were justified and then sat on the arm of one of the chairs and swung one tllrn foot restlessly. He had a mental nlcture of Elsie looking at one of his pictures. Her one stock remark had been, "Don't sec how you do It," which, nfter nil Isn't much to say to a man. He drew a long breath and all thought of Elsie drifted out of his mind, lor once he was not accepting Betty as n nice person to have around. She had sud denly become more than that. "Where have you been lately?" he asked severely, coming close to her and looking down nt her ns she sat there. Sho looked very sweet tonight in a simplo little blue serge dress open nt the throat and a close-ntimg hat felt suddenly strnngo with her. looked so feminine, and then he laughed nt himself. Why this was Betty, his I pal, ho had always treated her like l another man. I "I've been busy," she returned. I "And I Buppose you just dropped In I hero for a moment before going off I somewhere else," he remarked. "No: I came over to ask you to take me out to dinner," she returned. "To an extravagant dinner. I feel just like being pandered to nnd petted. Treat me like ou would Elsie." The moment this was out she was sorry she had said it, but the dell had prompted her and she felt strangeb reckless toaight. Her penitence was instant however, and sincere, for she slipped off the nrm of the chair and put a tentative hand on Gene's shoul der. "Oh, Gene, I'm sorry. I was a beast to say that." 'But somehow the remark had failed to hurt Gene, he hnd miraculously risen nbove its power to hurt and he was as much surprised ns Betty. He felt free nnd very strong and suddenly very tender of Betty. With a little laUglv he reached out and pulled her into his aims. He laughed down at her when she struggled and held her fast against him. "Tell me you love me." "I won't," she panted back. "We're going to be married tomor row," his tone was full of glad con viction. And then before she could i answer he kissed her, not once but again nnd again, stemming her pro- tests, taking her by storm. He was rough and she gloried in it. Her vaunt- I ed independence hnd wavered Into com- I pletc subjection. She was all real I woman. I He released her finally and they stood looking into each other's eyes. ' "Well?" she said a little tremulously. "Well?" "Isn't It great?" he laughed back, "your wedding day tomorrow? Come on out and eat your engagement din ner." (Tomorrow Ruth's vaguo longings find an answer.)
