It took less than three hours to
motor to Urevfriars Hall, but I've
an idea it seemed half a lifetime to
Terry.
11 is love for Betty had expressed
itself in half a dozen ways—a giant
basket of fruit, a box with the long,
leafy stems of American Beauties
poking through the cut end. a
wicker case of jellies, a pile of mag
azines were stacked up on the floor
of the limousine. But Terry him
self was now without means of ex
pression. lie was siicftt—utterly re
served—and as frightened as a
schoolboy caught playing hobkey.
1 made him light ins pipe to re
lieve the nervous strain uf the jour
ney. but there wasn't another tiling
1 could do for him. Our brave Cap
tain Terry was in a blue funk.
At last we arrived, saw the head
nurse, who appeared satislied with
our credentials, and passed us along
to the pavilion where Betty was lo
cated. There we waited a long,
dreary ten minutes in a little chintz
hung room that made a tine effort
to be cheery, and at last there came
to us Miss Moss, formerly of the
quivering, retreating chin and poach
cd-egg personality, hut now looking
almost clean-cut and efficient in her
starched white uniform.
Terry, who had never met Miss
Moss. leaped to Ids feet and gasped:
"How is she'.'"
in that cry there was no sugges
tion of his usual' reserve.
"Oh, nicely, nicely!" twitted Miss
Moss. "Doctor says there's really
no danger now that she'll lose the
use of her arm. And her head's
much clearer." '
Terry seized her shoulder in fing
ers that were white at the knuckles.
"Her arm! Was it as bad as that'.'"
He looked at liis own strong arm
as if lie hated it for being so sturdy
and well when Betty's must be ban
daged and t6rn.
"There! There!" murmured Miss
Moss, as if she were talking to a
little boy. "I'm telling you doctor
-.as there's no danger any more.
You'd better go for a walk about
the grounds while I take Mrs. Har
rison to see my little girl. And this
afternoon you shall see her, too, if
you'll be very, eery calm."
This to Terry, the reserved!
He went white at Miss Moss's
words. He knew he was wondering
if Betty had asked for me —had
chosen me—and had refused, per
haps. to see him.
"We've a few things in the car
for her." ventured Terry. "May she
have them'.'"
"I'll send an orderly," said the
efficient, if tyrannical. Miss Moss.
"Come. Mrs. Harrison."
.Terry gripped my hand as if T
were going on a long journey. Then,
as I turned to follow Miss Moss,
he jammed on his cap and Tent
dashing in long strides out of the
building.
"I'll have my lunch while you're
with her." said Miss Moss, carrying
on the new tradition that the third
person singular feminine pronoun
could have no anecedent other than
Betty. "That will give you a chance
to—', isit."
She took me to the door .opened
it and murmured:
"Here's Mrs. Harrison, dear."
There f was on tho threshold of
Betty's room wanting suddenly to
run away and cry far more than I

■ did to go in and face Betty all ban
danged and pale.
"Anne, Anne—you found me!"
I cried a tired voice like a little ghost
! of Betty's warm, vibrating tones.
In another.second I was at Betty's
| bedside, kissing her soft cheeks and
her burning forehead and holding
her cold left hand against my
i throat.
"Yes. dear, I've found you. And
■ I'm going to stay with you as long
as you'll let me." I whispered.
Betty snatched her hand to brush
away two or thee tears that had
gotten as far its the ends of her
1 long eyelashes. Then she smiled
j whimsically. (|
"I'm so brave and self-sufficient!"
she said. "1 plan well enough to
save you from being bothered about
| me. and then I go blubbering for
joy when you upset my plans and
find me out."
■ "No mere 'saving us." please,
i dear! We were scouring the world
! for you. Terry and Jeanie, and Tony
land I—and Jim." I added con
j seoiusly.
"Why, T worried you! I'm so sorry.
I Anne. Didn't you get the notes I
sent the morning we came here'.' I
gave them and the money for the
stamps to our taxi-driver —special
! deliveries to you and Tony and
| Jeanie, and a telegram for Terry."
I I laughed in relief at this clearing
I up of tlie mystery of the note I had
received "three days after date."
"Well, the taxi driver decided to
spare six cents to his conscience
fund in the end. He mailed the let-
I ters. Now , about you, dear. Are
I you strong enough to talk'.' Will
you tell me a little bit about it all?"
"It was my arm, Anne. It got
J worse and worse all the time. I
I thought it was going to he —para-
, lyzed. X was so frightened. And I
I didn't want to be a burden to any
' one who—loved me."
As Betty spoke an idea flashed
j across my mind. Was it this fear
land not the memory of lier dead
■ husband that had stood between her
land Terry?
"You're all right now. de%r." I
wluspered close to her cheek. "And
; we re here—Terry and I. Shall I
call him?" •

THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
I> VIRGINIA TEBHI.MJ VAN BE WATER
CHAPTER. 1.11. .
! (Copyright, ISI9, Star Company.)
Mr. Bruce had had a quiet night,
the nurse announced. She and Ho
nora were at the breakfast table.
! Mrs. Bruce had gone to sit with her;
j husband while the nurse took her
i morning meal, first asking llonora
' to remain in the dining room and
| chat with Miss Hartley and see that
her wants were supplied. Arthur
! accompanied his mother upstairs, so
J the nurse and guest were alone for
the time.
i "You really think your patient is
better?" llonora asked.
"He is comfortable," Miss Hart
ley evaded. "But one cannot tell ■
! when a change may come. Of
j course he may rally and yet he
i may not.'^
"Poor Mrs. Bruce," the girl
sighed.
j "You are going to remain here
| to-day with her, are you not?" Miss
Hartley iiuestioned.
"Oh, no, 1 must go down to the i
otlice this morning. You see," she
explained, "1 am only a friend who J
; ran over to keep her from being j
lonely last night."
"You did her good," the nurse |
j affirmed. "But for you she would
' not have slept. She is very nervous, '
j and should not be alone."
llonora was worried. She knew
j the nurse was right. Yet she her- j
! self must go to the otlice for a ;
| while, at least. This was Saturday, j
; and she would be free at 12 o'clock.
| Even so, there was no reason why |
] she, an outsider, should remain in i
this house. Mrs. Bruce was only a j
casual friend. Now. if Milly had ;
come, it would be different.
"I hope you can arrange to re- !
j turn," Miss Hartley said, as, finish- j
1 ing her light breakfast, she left the j
J table.
She Meets Arthur
j In the hall on her way to the ;
' stairs. Honora met Arthur. He had ,
I just had a few words with Miss
Hartley.
"1 wish you could come back as \
the nurse suggests," he remarked i
wistfully. "You are such a com- I
fort." !
"But," Honora hesitated. "I think j
someone else could take my place '
i satisfactory. I wish that Milly"— j
I "She would not want to come!" !
| Arthur interrupted. "I saw last ]
j night how she shrank from the
i idea."

"That was only because the
thought of sgrious illness frightens
her," Honoru demurred.
"1 am not blaming her," Arthur
interposed. "Do not fancy that.
She is young and timid and she was
as you say, frightened at the
thought of witnessing pain of any
kind. Still,", musingly, "there is a
perfect love that easts out fear.
But." with an impatient shake of
the head, "1 am a sentimental fool.
No. Milly is all right, and she shall
not be bothered to come if she does
not want to. And neither shall
you."
A step on the stairs made the
pair turn. Mrs. Bruce had de
scended so softly that they had not
heard her.
"You were speaking of coming
hack, Honora?" she asked eagerly.
"Y'oti will stay here, won't you?"
Honora explained that Mr. Pear
son would be expecting her at the
otttce.
"But the office closes at noon,
and 1 can run around here then and
see if you are all right," she sug
gested.
But my dear," and the wife's
tone was pleading. "I wish you
could return and spend Sunday with
me. 1 am so lonely and anxious.
Arthur has to Vie at his office to-day,
and he really feels burdened by the
responsibility of my dependence up
on him. Still—l must not impose
upon your kindness."
Honora reflected gravely for a
moment. "I tell you what I will
do." she proposed. "1 will go home
to luncheon, see that all is well
there, and return to you this after
noon. Then, if you need me, I can
stay until bedtime. Will that do?"
Willing to Help
"That will help a great deal." the
matron said. "And," with a smile,
"when I \et you here, perhaps I
will not let you go back to-night."
Before Mr. Pearson's arrival at
his office, Honora called up Mildred
and told her of Mr. Bruce's condi
tion.
"You must stop by there on your
way home this noon and ask how he
is." the older girl insisted. "It is
the decent thing to do. As Arthur's
fiancee, good form demands it of
you."
"All right, I'll go," Mildred agreed.
"Will you be at home to luncheon?"
"Yes. But." hesitatingly. '•'Mrs.
Bruce wants me to go back there
and stay with her this afternoon.
She will be alone, for Arthur must
he at the office. Unless, Milly, you
will go over any stay with Mrs.
Bruce."
"Indeed, no!" the younger girl ex
claimed. "I will stop by and see her
for a minute, as you suggest. But
she will not want me to stay, and
you know it. You would best make
your arrangement to stay the whole
afternoon with her, Ilonora.
"And, by the way. Mrs. Higgins is
suffering again with sciatica. She"
tried to get up this morning, but
every motion hurt her so that she
put on a wrapper instead of a dress
and is going to lie down in her
room all day. The weather is so
beastly damp that it is the safest
thing for her to do."
"But, my dear, that makes it
pretty lonely at home for you,
doesn't it?!' Honora queried.
"Oh, no." Mildred assured her, "I
really don't mind a bit. T have some
odd little jobs to do about the house.
Rut. of course. I will not go out this
afternoon. It would not ho quite
nice of me to leave Mrs. Higgins
alone with only Katie in the house
when you are away, you know.",
Honora hung up the telephone re
ceiver. a worm feeling in her heart
toward Mildred.
What the child had said about
Mr*. Higrgins showed how kind her
Instincts really were.
Perhaps Honora hail misjudged
her last niffht. She would certain
ly Kive her the benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps you were married a..
month ago.
It may be that you were fortunate
enough to take a short journey 10- i
gether, and since then you and your j
husband have been busy installing'
yourself in the liat you' have been'
planning so absorbedly tor a year
or so.
In any ease, you two young lovers i
have been able to be together, and '
alone, for the first time in your |
lives, and you haven't missed the !
rest of the world a bit.
You have continually reminded I
each other of your happiness, and 1
you have asked each other, rather j
too often, "perhaps, "Shall we ever j
be as happy again?"
That is to say, you have disturbed ;
your happiness evcij at its height:
you've had more than a fear, you've
had almost a dark certainly, that 1
it couldn't possibly last.
It's been very wonderful, this
honeymoon. It would really have
been joy Without a flaw—if you
could only have believed Jll it. But
all your life you've heard the world '
say that honeymoons don't lasl, that 1
the beautiful bright "flame of love j
yields shortly to the ashes of dull- i
ness and indifference and that all
the rest of life amounts to not much j
more than a hard daily struggle I
with practical tacts ;yid conditions. I
It's no wonder you've believed '
that the repetition has been so con- i
stant. It's no wonder you've be- i
lieved that every pair of lovers in I
the world must succumb to the su
perstition that love can last but a I
month.

secretly believ ed In it you wonder j
that love has kept its good name j
and that anybody has been willing 1
to marry.
It is time. I tlunk, that we looked I
into this honeymoon superstition.
it is time that lovers learned how j
to prolong their love, instead ot I
sacrificing it to a bogey of pes- !
simisni.
Why shouldn't honeymoon liappi- 1
ness last?
We have to admit that there are i
oases where it can't. But these are '
mostly cases where the lovers are j
unworthy of the greatness of love. I
Oases where a man regards a wife
as a possession, and having secured I
her, immediately begins to be die- j
tutorial, and perhaps a little brutal, j
so that love becomes crippled for- '
ever.
1 >r cases where a woman is self- '
isli and, spoiled and exacting, so !
that love grows changed and tongue- !
tied. Or cases where some tinpleus- |
ant personal habit, like greediness or
slovenliness, makes love ashamed
of itself.
But. after all. it's not of these j
cases that we are speaking.
Truly lov ing and love worthy :
lovers should he able to keep their
love alive, even though every cynic !
in the world shall toll them that I
marriage is the end of love.
And you who have been married ,
a month, have you begun to guess !
how it may he done?
l.et me give you a suggestion or j
two. For one thing, don't let too
great a difference in interests arise
between you and your husband.
Hove won't live without compan
ionship. I'll admit that. And con
panionship demands that as many
of your interests as possible he
shared.
By this I mean: Don't domes- '

tic: to tlie exclusion of everything |
! else. .
! Does this horrify you? Have you I
. been taught that a woman can't lie I
j too domestic,<• that tlie more time
she spends in cooking for her man,
in sewing and in cleaning for him, I
! the better wife she is?
| And yet jou must have noticed
I fhut women who do spend all their
j time and strength in domestic
|Mrudgery aren't often objects of
1 romantic love to their husbands.
I and have themsejves usually lost
j sight of what love is.
1 don't mean that if you assume
I the responsibility of a household
I you oughtn't to do the job well.
Disorderly houses and bad meals
] are a disgrace always, from the
I point of view of any sane person,
j But if you want to keep your love
: alive, don't let housework con
j sume you utterly. Resist that
j calamity.
And, bo sure that you reserve
| free energy to help your husband
j escape his main danger, which nat
j urully is that of being consumed
! by business.
! Persuade him to go to the country
! with yr-u on Sundays, will ho
: Hie nicest thing you both can do
; even if it involves sacrifice. % !t will
| keep von young and fresh, and
nufke you companions to each otper
—and keep love alive.
Do you get the idea? Don't vvitli
j draw into a world of saucepans
and brooms, whence you can only
j signal to a husband who. for "his
1 part becomes more and more
> tightly locked up in a world of
j bookkeeping or salesmanship. It
] isn't necessary. And tlie result will
1 be unhappy. It will mean that Sun
| day you will find that you two, who
! were once each other's universe
j will find that you can't talk to each
other interestedly for five minutes.
And the honeymoon will indeed seem
very far behind.
Will Parenthood do It?
Some young wife will ask me
why it's necessary for married lovers
to make a point of reading hooks
1 together and taking walks together
' when sooner or later they will share
I tlie most absorbing interest that it's
i possible to have, which is babies,
j It is true that babies are the most
: wonderful bond conceivable. Yet
I even babies aren't enough to keep
■ love alive, in the honeymoon sense.
As a matter of fact, you'll have to
j be on your guard not to be too
I parental—not to lose sight of each
j other's individualities in your ab
j sorption in the children.
If you and your husband wish to
i remain lovers always—and you
] know that at present that's your
i dearest hope—don't let your very
I personalities fade away in the
j unselfish excitement of becoming
j "father" and "mother." Mother
; hood is a marvelous thing, and so
! is fatherhood, in a lesser degree,
j But see if you can't experience them
] to the utmost and still hold fast
! to that lover-like relation, that is
I so precious to you now.
i You can do it if you sincerely
I want to. It's been done before, in
| spite of what everybody has told
; you; and done triumphantly.
| It* your love is big and real, and
! you respect it and nourish it suf
ficiently. it can live as long as you
do.
