Runaway June

"Then why did you leave me?" Ned
Warner's voice was harsh.
"It was the money!" Her Up trem
bled. "Don't you remember when I
mimed my purse'.' The porter came In
Just then, and you gave him a dollar.
When he went out you gave me S3O
and In Just the same generous way
you gave It to the negro. The differ
ence was $29."
They were all startled by the force
of the comparison. Only Gilbert Blye
smiled, and the smile did not escape
Ned.
"Do you remember I cried snd you
put ray heed on your shoulder? Yon
thought I was tired, bnt I cried from
humiliation. I felt like a beggar. I
realized that for the rest of my life
I would have to accept gifts of money
from you. Then I dreamed about it
I dreamed that I was a piteous little
beggar, always holding out my palms
for alms; that I was receiving pay for
being your wife Just as mother paid
Aunt Debby and Marie." Both Aunt
Detoby and Marie sniffed sympatheti
cally. "And last of all I dreamed that
I was being dragged home from the
altar by a ring in the nose as the sav
ages of old dragged home their brides.
And when the train stopped and woke
me up I couldn't stand it. I threw
down your money and ran from the
train."
"To meet this man:" interrupted Ned
sternly. "Gilbert Blye was waiting on
the station platform at Tarnville." And
he noted that June looked at him in
surprise.
"Hold on there:*' Gilbert Blye spoke
sharply. "I was watting, but for a
New York train. I had been to our
Tarnyille factory. I saw this beauti
ful girl on the platform and thought
immediately what a good motion pic
ture subject she would be. I wae right.
She screens perfectly." And he smiled
approvingly at June.
"So you were strangers." remarked
Ned, and there was an implied sneer in
his tone. "Ton helped her on the train,
and I saw you in the car talking with
her!"
"Yon?" Both the runaway bride and
the dark, handsome Blye a«ked that
question.
"Yes, I!" this triumphantly. "1
caught an express and overtook your
local as we pulled into the station at
New York, and through the car win
dows I say you bending over her and
smiling, and she wag smiling up at
you!"
There was a pause, and the listeners
looked from June to Blye and then at
Ned.
"Oh, yes!" and June's brow cleared.
"I had sold my watch to a funny old
lady on the train to pay my fare. Mr.
. Blye bought the watch from her and
kindly offered to let me repur-
it whftiever I found it conven
ient He gave me his card; that was
all."
"All!" Ned thundered. "He chased
yoo from the train in a taxi. and 1 fol
lowed. but 1 lost you both."
"I did not!" Blye heatedly retorted.
"I Jumped in a taxi and tore straight
for Cunningham'g hotel." and he turn
ed to the white mustached man for cor
roboration. "We were due at a dinner
party that night and were to stop at
Mre. Russel'c, where all the girls of
the company afterward boarded."
"And I went straight to Iris!" added
the aggrieved June.
"Indeed she did!" heartily agreed Iris.
t "She told us she had left you because
you had given her money." And Bob
ble Blethering was still profoundly per
plexed.
"You remember I came out to the
house for June's purse." Iris turned to
Mr. and Mrs. Moore. "She wouldn't
e"ven let us lend her money, because
she had a principle about being inde
pendent When you and Ned chased in
and drove poor June from *ur house
and Ned found Gilbert Blye's card in
her glove, then It was all off!"
"When I slipped out of Iris' window
I had my pur»e. but no clothes," June
pathetically remembered. "So I went
out home to Brynport and stole my
clothes and Marie."
"Why did he go to Brynport at the
same time?" Ned glared savagely at
Blye.
"It was an inspiration." Gilbert Blye
milled suavely and stroked his black
Vandyke with his long, lean white fin
gws, and M* 'Mnclj .>vp s glowed. "Wi

had Just formed the Blye Stock com
pany at the dinner party. Mr. Ed
wards," and he nodded to the heavy
man with the thick lidded eyes, "Is our
financial backer. Mr. Cunningham," a
nod for the white mustached man, "Is
our leading actor, who has also an In
terest In the company. I showed them
the picture of the beautiful girl In the
watch. It had given me a great Ides
for a motion picture play, "The Run
away Bride." They were delighted with
it, but we had no girl of the type."
"Wasn't 1 the Jealous little party?"
laughed Tommy Thomas. "I was to be
the only leading lady of the Blye Stock
company."
Gilbert Blye favored the vlvacloua
brunette with a |>incb on the ear.
"1 remembered hearing Mrs. Warner
tell the old lady on the train that she
must earn her own living. I was cer
tain that she would screen well. Why
not get the original heroine of the
idea? Edwards and Cunningham were
enthusiastic. I had her address in her
watch. I jumped in Cunningham's
limousine and hurried right out to
Brynport."
"And we reached the cafe Just in
time to chase you." Bobbie Blethering
was beaming with eager interest. He
was pieceing together a puzale which
had baffled him. "When Ned found
your card we went to your house, and
your wife told us you were at the din
ner party."
"My wife.'' and a shade of annoy
ance passed over Blye's dark, hand
some face.
"Aud on the way in from Brynport
my taxi broke down," June went on.
"Mr. Blye appeared out of the dark
ness as if by magic and offered his
limousine."
"I have a confession to make," in
terrupted Blye. "I threw glass on the
road." And there was a general move
ment of shocked understanding. All
their cars had popped tires on that
glass. "It was my only opportunity to
stop the runaway bride. On the way
in to the city I persuaded her that she
could earn her independence easier and
quicker in moving picture work than
in any other way."
"So 1 became a temporary member
of the Blye Stock company. 1 was to
play the lead in the feature which he
elaborated after I told him about my
money problem."
"That was a great idea:" Blye was
very enthusiastic. "The man, the wo
man and the money! It will appeal to
every class and condition of people.
"I wa» to be tha only Itading lady."
We're spending a fortune in advertis
ing it. Look at this new twenty-four
sheet poster." And, moving a piece of
scenery, he displayed a big lithograph
of " -The Runaway Bride," by Gilbert
Blye; Portrayed by the Blye Stock
Company."
Ned Warner was the only one who
paid no attention to the lithograph. Hig
arms were still folded; his eyes were
still cold. June looked at him, and her
eyes tilled with despair.
"Why was it necessary to bind and
gag me and leave me all night in the
woods?" the husband demanded.
"Ned, what do you mean? Did some
one do that to you?" June was half
sobbing, and there was general sur
prise on the part of the Blye Stock
company.
"Oh, Miss Junie. I didn't mean It to
go so far!" the high cheek boned maid,
Marie, cried, and she wag pulling her
thumbs in rapid succession while Auot
Debby glared ferociously at her.
"You!" June cried. "Why. Mar-it!"
And she looked In fright at Ned. There
was a sneer on his lips.
"Well. Bouncer found Mr. Ned In
Mrs. Vlllard's garden, and I knew you
were hiding from Mr. Ned until you
could make some money, so I told the
chauffeur and the gardener not to let
Mr. Ned see you or speak to you. and
the next thing I knew Nr. Ned was
gone."
He glared at Marie and June's heart
sank. He shrugged his shoulders, as
If dismissing Marie's narrative.
"I saw no cameras at Mrs. VUlard's
that night" And now he turned
scowlingiy to Orin Cunningham. "Yet
I saw tills man distinctly making love
to my wife. And I saw Gilbert Blye
doing the same thing!"
