CHAPTER Vl—Gerry, u he think*
■ees AHx and Alan eloplnc. drops every
.thing, and goes to Pernambuco.
"I mean what you hare deduced
•with an effort. What are you but a
philanderer in Httle things where Alan
Is in great? What have you ever done
to hold me or any other woman? I re
spected you once for what you were
going to be. That hai died. Did you
think I w&a going to make you into a
man?"
Gerry stood, breathing hard, a great
despondency In bl« heart Allx went
on pitilessly. "What bare you be
come? A monumental time-server on
the world and you are surprised that a
worker reaches the prize that you can
not attain! The trouble with you is
that you have built your life altogether
on traditions. It is a tradition that
your women are faithful, so you need
not exert yourself to holding yours!
It is a tradition that you can do no
wrong, so you need not exert yourself
to doing anything at all! You are play
ing with ghosts, Gerry. Your party
was over a generation ago."
Allx had calmed down. There was
still time for Gerry to choke her to
good effect. The hour could yet be
his. But he did not know it. Smart
ing tinder the lash of Alix' tongue he
made a final and disastrous false step.
"You try to humiliate me by plac
ing me back to back with Alan?"' he
said, with his new-born sneer. Alix
appraised it with calm eyes and found
It rather attractive. "Well, let me
tell you that Alan is so small a man
that If I dropped out of the world to
day. he'd sail for Africa tomorrow and
think for the rest ol his life of bis
escape from you as a close shave."
AHx sprang to her feet. She was
trembling. Gerry felt a throb of ex
ultation. It was his turn io wound.
"What do you mean'/" said Alix
very quietly, but it was the quiet of
suppressed passion at while heat.
"I mean that Alan is the kind of
man who finds other men's wives an
economy. He would take everything
you have that's worth taking, but not
you."
Allx' eyes blazed at him from her
white face. "Please go away." she
said. He started to speak. "Please
go away," she repeated. Her lips were
quivering and her face twitched In a
•way that was terrifying to Gerry. He
hurried out repeating to himself over
and over, "You have made Alix cry.
You have made Alix cry."
Alix toyed with the silver on her
dressing-table until he had gone and
then she swept across the room to
her little writing-desk and wrote the
note that Alan had found half an hour
later in his rooms.
9mm
Gerry stood in the hall outside Alix'
room for a moment hoping to hear a
sob, a cry, anything for an excuse to
go back. Instead he heard the scratch
of a pen but he was too troubled to
deduce anything from that. He went
slowly down the stairs and out into
the street. The biting winter air
braced him. He started to walk rapid
ly. At the end of ail hour he found
himself standing on a deserted pier.
He took off his hat and let the wind
cool his head. "I have made a woman
cry—Alix!" He turned and walked
slowly back to the avenue and into his
club hut he still felt uneasy. A waiter
brought n whisky and soda and put it
at his elbow. Gerry turned on him.
"Who told you to bring that?" Then
he felt ashamed of his petulance. "It's
all right, George." he said, more geni
ally than he had spoken for many a
day. "but I don't want it. Take It
away."
He sat for a long time and at last
came to a resoltitiou. Alix loved roses.
He would send her enough to bank her
room and he would follow them home.
He went up the avenue to his florist's
and stood outside trying Io decide
whether it should be one mass of blood
red or a color scheme. Suddenly the
plate glass caught a reflection and
threw it in his face. Gerry turned.
A four-wheeler was passing. He
could not see the occupant but on top
was a large, familiar trunk marked
with a yellow girdle. On the trunk
was a familiar label. He stared at
It and the label stared balk at him and
finally danced before his mazed eyes
as the cab di.sappjpared into the traffic.
Gerry stood for a long while,
stunned. He saw a lady bow to him
from a carriage and afterwards bo re
membered that he had not bowed back.
Somebody ran into him. He looked
back at the flowers massed in the
window, remembered that he did not
need them now, and drew slowly
away. Two men hailed him from the
other side of the street. Gerry braced
himself, nodded to them and hailed a
passing hansom. From the direction
Allx' cab had taken he knew the sta
tion she was bound for. As he arrived
on the platform they were giving the
last call for the Montreal Express.
He caught sight of Alix hurrying
through the gates '.nil followed. As
she reached the first Pullman, some
body rapped on the window of the
drawing room. Gerry saw Alan's face
pressed against the pane. He watched
Allx stop, turn and climb the steps
j of the car and th«*u he wheeled ana I
| hurried from the station.
Where could he go? Not to his club I
J and Alan's. His face would betray
J the scandal with which the club would
1 be buzzing tomorrow. ' Not to his big
i comfortable house. It would be too
gloomy. Even in disaccord, Alix had
Imparted to its somber oak and deep
shadows the glow of buoyant life.
When she was there one felt as though
j there were flowers in the house. Gerry ,
. was seleed with a great desire to hide
from his world, his mother, himself.
He pictured the scare-heads in the pa
pers. That the name of Lansing should
be found in that galley! It was too
much. He could not face it.
He bought a morning paper full of
shipping news and, getting into a taxi,
gave the address of his bank. On the
way he studied the sailings' column.
"He found what he wanted. The Gun
ter due to sail that afternoon for Bra
zil, Pernambuco the first stop.
At the bank Gerry drew out the
balance of his current account. It
amounted to something over two thou
sand dollars. He took most of it in
Bank of England notes. Then he start- !
ed home to pack but before he reached
the house a vision of the servants,
flurried after helping their mistress i
off, commiserating him to each other,
pitying him to his face perhaps, or in
the case of the old butler, suppressing
a great emotion, was too much for
him. He drove Instead to a big de
partment store and in an hour had
bought a complete outfit. He lunched j
at one of the quiet restaurants that 1
divide down town from up. The peo
ple about hiru were voluble in French
and Spanish. Already he felt as if
his exile had begun.
The Gunter wns to still at three from
Brooklyn. Gerry crossed by the ferry.
He did not get out of his cab. Over
Ills baggage, piled outside and in. he
caught a glimpse of the suspension
bridge. Years and years ago his father ;
had led him across that bridge when i
It was the eighth wonder of the world.
Gerry gave a great sigh at the mem
ory. He had not invaded Brooklyn
since. As the cab threaded the in
terminable and reeking length of Fur
inan street he looked out and felt him
self upon an alien shore.
He had avoided buying a ticket.
As the Gunter warped out. the purser
came to him. "I understand you have
no ticket."
"No." said Gerry, drawing a roll of
bills. "How much Is the passage to
Pernambuco?"
The purser fidgeted. "This is irreg
ular, sir."
"Is it?" said Gerry, indifferently.
"I have no ticket forms," said the
purser, weakening.
"I don't want a ticket," said Gerry,
i "I want a good room and three squara
1 meals a day."
Long, quiet days on a quiet sea are
' a master sedative to a troubled mind.
Gerry had a great deal to think
through. He sat by the hour with
hands loosely clasped, his eyes far out
on the ocean, tracing the course of his
married life and measuring the
j grounds for Alix' arraignment Gerry
j was Just and generous to others' faults
"but not to his own. He had forgotten
the sting of Allx' words and, to his
growing amazement, saw in himself
their Justification. A time-server he
certainly had been. But he reviewed
the lives of many other men In his
own leisurely class and decided that
he was not without company. After
all, what was there in America for
such men to do except make more
money?
For the first time he was struck by
the narrowness of American life.
I There was only one line of effort.
The whole people thronged a single
causeway. They made a provincial
demand that all should dress alike,
look alike, think alike. They pressed
on In a body to the single goal of
wealth and when they got there they
were lost.

"Maid 111 America"
1 Two special Pullman trains will bring
| the New York Winter Garden spec- 1
tacle. "Maid In America," to this city
Monday for an engagement of one night
! only. The organization Is heralded as
I lhe most pretentious of all the Winter'
] Garden revues, and it is to be followed
by the lest of the Winter Garden series
of spectacles. Florence Moore, who j
' made "Maid In America" famous in a j
j night, heads the company of over 10U !

"Potash and Perlmutter" requires no

i goers, as most patrons of amusement !
| Know tho creations of Montague Glass
ana a goodly number saw the play upon ;
lUs previous presentation here. The ;
characters of Abe Potash and Mawruss 1
Perlmutter can be called creations only
because they have been projected by
| genius into the literary and dramatic
realm. In reality they are not crea
tions at all—they are too real.
The return performance of "Potash

Seats go on sale Monday for Mrs. I
Patrick Campbell's engagement at the j

erable degree of Interest that local
theatergoers look forward to seeing
this noted artiste in a comedy role. As
Eliza Doolittle, in "Pygmalion," Mrs.
Campbell Is said to be at her best. Her
change from the cockney llower girl |
of Tottenham Court Road, with the j
language and mannerisms of the slums, |
to the flawless clegunce of a London j
society queen, is a rare and illuminat
ing study. To it she gives the consum
