6 OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE By Virginia Terhune Van dc Water CHAPTER IX. (Copyright, 1916, Star Co.) The story was returned almost as promptly as the article had been. The article was sent out three times in a month, always with the same result. What was the matter Myra wonder ed. Didn't she know how to write? Surely what she produced was quite as good as lots of the stuff that she saw in the variotis magazines which she read with the hope of discover ing just where the secret of success lay. She could not hide from Grace the knowledge of her defeat, but to Horace she said nothing of it. She had resolved not to let him know of her efforts until they met with suc cess. Meanwhile, the end of the month drew near, the date on which Lizzie's wages would fall due. and there was not money with which to pay her. From her meager housekeeping al lowance Myra had saved a small sum each week. Hut it was not nearly enough. She must ask Horace to lend her some money. "Set she had told him that she would not expect him to pay for the maid's services. "I have arranged to meet that expense myself," she had said. So it wrs with trepidation that she spoke to her husband oC the matter that was uppermost In her mind. "Horace." she ventured one eve ning, "could you let me have ten dollars? I mean" —as he glanced up from his book In surprise "could you lend me ten dollars for a few weeks?" Her husband looked doubtful. "Well, you know, Myra," he demur red, "that I am not by way of lend ing any money to anybody just now. For how long a time will you want It?" "For only a few weeks," she stammered. "I have set aside a part of the money for my next payment on my insurance." he said slowly. "If you are sure you can return It by the last of next month, I can spare it." Promises to Return It "Thank you," she said. "I will surely return it." "How?" she asked herself. But she was certain that she could earn it. There still lacked five dollars of Lizzie's wages. She mentioned this fact to Grace not as if she were worried about it, but Just as a bit of information. "You'd best let me lend It to you," Grace offered, "and pay me back when you can." "Thank you, dear! Jlyra ex claimed impulsively. She wanted to put her arms about her child and tell her of the anxiety at her heart and of the love she bore her. and of what a comfort she, in her young strength, was to licr mother. "Oh, that's all right," said Grace practically. Tier tone did not encouraee fur ther speech on the subject, and the older woman knew that the girl did not wish to hear any more about it. Grace had done what she could. Then why not let the matter drop? That was Grace's way. She was just like Horace. ifPf|oums shrinking? JII Danger ahead!

Perhaps the writer's anxiety gave a tone of depression to her work, ; for with this manuscript came a • note from the editor himself. | "We do not like stories that end unhappily." he wrote. "Life has ] enough dark spots In It without : reading about them. If you have ' kept in touch with our magazine. 1 you must have observed that it j aims always to have a happy, op i timistic outlook." Myra smiled Ironically as she I read this comment. No matter how one felt, one must write cheer fully for this particular publica -1 tion. probably other publications j had tho same policy as this one I had. Just now it was hard for the would-be author to look at the bright and sunny side of life. She laid aside her story with a ' sigh. She felt almost discouraged. it was well on toward the middle of the month when she made a resolution that seemed to her des perate. She would take her ma j terlal to some editor, calling upon ; him in person instead of sending | her copy my mail. Since Grace's friend had said this was the correct • thing to do. she must do it. She Docs It in Secret The wife dared not speak to Horace about her project. She knew he would disapprove of it. He had always felt that a woman's place was in the house. He hated the thought of a refined wife and mother bearding business men in their dens. But it was no time to consider such prejudices now that she must earn money. She must either dispose of her manuscript, or sell some of her jewelry. She would rather ask an editor to buy her manuscript than let a second-hand jeweler purchase her rings. Yet when, after making an ap pointment over the telephone with an editor whose name she knew, she entered his outer ofTlce and sent in her card her heart beat so fast that she felt as If she could scarce ly breathe. She glanced at herself In a mirror hanging on the wall, and was shocked to see how pale she was. She had worn her best tailored suit —one that had been new and fash ionable a year ago. She had done this at her daughter's suggestion. "Dess as well as you can. If you look wealthy and independent, and as if you had no need to work, they will be more likely to think they want your stories." Grace had declared dryly. "Nothing succeeds like success." How worldly - wise this young creature was becoming, the mother mused now. And how hard she was working! For her sake and for Horace's sake she. the wife and mother, must succeed. As this thought came to her, she felt a new courage and lifted her head defiantly. And when she followed the sten ographer's bidding and went into the editor's inner office she went with a firm tread, steady eyes and a pink glow on her cheeks.

Alix calls on Alan, but ho refuses to tell her Gsrry's story. Alan goes home to Red Hi)l. T.ong lane was as cool as memory and as balmy with the twining odors of birch and sassafras and laurel as childhood's recollection. Alan drew a long, full breath and then the car ran out on to the top of Red Hill, swerved to the right and turned in tinder the low-hanging limbs of the maples. It was early afternoon. The old homestead was very still. As the car drew up at the curb a girl rose from a deep chair 011 the veranda and stepped forward. Alan caught his breath and stared. He felt himself a little boy. Nance, a mere rosebud of a girl, stood before him and smiled at his bewil dered face. "You're Uncle Alan, aren't you?" The soft voice sustained illu sion, but the words brought him to himself—made him feel suddenly older by a generation. Then he smiled back at her and chaffed. "You have been busy since I saw you last. Have I the honor of presenting myself to Miss Sterling?" "The same," replied the girl, laugh ing, "and your niece." "Come. That's enough. Don't rub it in. Besides, you're only niece by courtesy. By the family tree we're cousins." "All right. I'll l>e a cousin to you if you like it better," remarked Nance, junior, demurely. Alan had sprung out. He caught her hands and kissed her. Her fresh mouth brushed his cheek. "Yes, I like It better." he said. "It's some fun kissing a cousin." Nance, Junior, snatched away her hands and dashed into the house. "Mother, Clem, he's here. Unc—Cous in Alan's come." From upstairs came a sullen but feeble roar, as though a bull had bel lowed and only echo had come forth. From a hammock under the trees J. Y. tumbled his stiffening limbs and with a quick shake of his broad shoulders strode across the lawn. There was a patter of women's feet Clem burst out of the house, caught both of Alan's hands and shook them. Her lips opened but she said nothing. Her eyes and her heart were full of welcome. Alan felt them speaking for her. Then came Mrs. J. Y. and J. Y. and Nance, the mother of four. There arose a babel of hearty greetings, but through them all could be heard the rumble of the echolike bellowing. "Ssh!" said Alan, holding np his hand. "What's that noise?" Clem laughed. "It's the captain," she said. "Listen." In the silence the rumbling became vociferation, "Bring him up 'here. I Bring him up here, dammit." "You'd better go quickly," remarked Nance, junior. "He's begun to swear and mother doesn't like us to hear it." Alan hurried into the house and up to the captain's room. The grown-ups followed but stopped below and wait ed. Nance, Junior, remained to direct the chauffeur to the barn. "Excuse me, miss," said that wor thy, "but Mr. Wayne hasn't had a bite to eat since seven this morning. You might not think to ask him, you see, so I thought I'd tell you." "I see," replied the young lady, and added with ready wit and a smile, "just find the kitchen and tell the cook." Alan found the captain propped on many pillows. His bulging eyes had the same old glare, his close-cropped hair still made an effort, though feeble, to insurgency, but his corpulence was gone. He had collapsed at last and was bedridden after a severe stroke. "Huh!" was his greeting. Alan sat down beside the bed. "How do you do, sir?" "Do? Ido all right. It's the liquor In this couutry that's gone off, sir. Corked whisky. That's all that's left I'll show you, Alan." And he roared, after a preliminary puff, "Two whis kies." Mrs. Wayne appeared. "Now cap tain," she said softly. "What's this? Two at a time? You're getting bet ter." The captain subsided. "One for Alan," he grunted. The drinks came. Alan welcomed his. He was tired and faint after the long journey. The captain gazed on his own glass defiantly but ordered the maid to set it on the table at his side. Alan waited long for him to take it up, and then he saw that the captain had fallen asleep. Alan sipped his drink. The captain was right. If was flavorless. But Alan remembered that he had thrown away his last cigarette for the same reason. He sighed. In spite of the judge, Allx was feel ing very lonely, abandoned, unloved. She sat on the little veranda at the back of the town house and day dreamed. Across her knee lay the morning paper. A word caught her eye. Elenlc. Half unconsciously she read: "Among the arrivals by the Elenlc . , . Hon. Percy Collinge ford." Collingeford! She started to her feet ; and then with what seemed a percep tible click her mind repeated, "Elenic." She sat down again. The hand that I held the paper was trembling. She sat for a long time looking at her hand. I The telephone bell rang, but she did ! not hear it. Old John came and stood beside her. "Mr. Collingeford telephones to know If you are in town." A frightened gleam showed In Alix* eyes. It passed and a flame of color came into her pale cheeks, "yes," she said, "I am at home. Tell him I will see him at any time today." Collingeford lost no time. When he arrived Alix was still sitting on the veranda. She received him there. He came upon her with a rush—like a fresh breeze. "What luck!" he cried. "Really in town on a hot summer's day? Which is it? Frocks or the dentist?" Alix rose and held out her hand. A faint smile came to her face, lingered a moment and passed. "1 am glad you have come," she said, and then paused. Her eyes wavered. Was she glad he had come? Collingeford caught her mood. "Just what do you mean by that?" he asked gravely. Alls' eyes came back to his face. "I—l don't know," she stammered. They sat down. Collingeford dropped his hat and stick and leaned for ward. A dull color burned In his cheeks. "Allx," he said, "has—has anything happened?" "No," said Alix, "not what you mean. Gerry is alive. He has writ ten. He says he is coming hack some time." Collingeford sprang to his feet, his eyes flashing. "Some time! I>id he really write that? Some time?" There was a petulant look about Alix' mouth that belonged to an Alix of long ago. She tried to shake it off with her mood. "No." she said dully, after a pause. "He didn't write Just that but it amounts to the same thing. He wrote but he has not come." Colllngeford paced up and down the little veranda, his urms crossed and one hand pulling nervously at his mus tache. He came to a stop before A 111 and stood looking down at her, his eyes eager but questioning. "Well?" he said. Alix made a little gesture of despair with her two hands. "I—l don't know," she repeated. Then, quite quietly, she began to cry. Collingeford caught her hands and drew her to her feet. He put his arms around her. She laid her head against his shoulder and sobbed. Collinge ford's heart was beating furiously. His arms trenibled. He longed to strain her to him, but he only held her firmly and patted her back.
