CHAPTER CLXXVIII.
"I'm full up with your Harrisons
• —full, fed up!" , . -
Those were Neal's words b
he rushed from my apartmen
his usually ruddy young face
drawn and white that it full
lenuated him for abrupt
ing. And as 1 hurried through m>
work and made ready to go to the
Canteen, his words kept
through my mind like an ug y
frain.
Was Neal going to do an >' tbl "'^
foolish, melodramatic, in order to
escape the Harrisons o * r
"hostile camp" his bruised feelms
might lead him to fancy me one.
1 got frightfully wrought up about
it, though common sense prompte
me after this fashion:
"Neal mayc bo sens! He, but he
isn't morbid. He may be Unit, but
he's young—and Hope eter
nal for youth. And he has red hair
and the ginger that matches i .
Still. when Anthony
dropped in for a visit just befo e
the noon rush. I had to cling tight
and with both hands to the reins
of my own feelings. I did so wan
1 o ask him to make a place for
Neal in his organization, and I tett
sure he'd manage i,t. But if T got
Neal a job with Anthony that would
put him forward beyond the pale
with Jim. And in spite of our
agreement to he "pals" and to per
mit each other to go our ways re
joicing, I could just imagine the
row —no less—such a proceeding
would bring in.
It was eniihor of those considera
tions that actually stopped me. how
ever. In llie last analysis. I simply
couldn't ask anything of Anthony
Norrcvs. My pride refused to per
mit me to take advantage of a gen
erous and open-handed friendship to
which in turn 1 could bring nothing.
"Neal, dear, forgive me. I'm try
ing not to fail you," 1 murmured
to myself as I permitted Anthony
to depart without a word of Neal's
homecoming.
At 2:30 our unit went off duty,
and when Carlotta and 1 got to the
door we found Pat waiting for us,
as he so often did.
"All aboard for a sup of tay at
the Clinsarge!" he said, with the
sudden rearing f his gray head that
was so ten'O and spirited.
"I can't," I explained. "I want

with Nora at the switchboard that
I'd not be in until 4 I want to try
to be there to welcome him when
he comes in."
"Young Neal!" said Pat warmly.
"I like that lad—seems to speak my
language somehow. Tell him to drop
round and have lunch with me to
morrow or next day."
But when I "gave Neal that mes
sage an hour later on his return,
he shook his head.
"Haven't time for luncheon dates.
Have to rustle a job, Babbs. Be
sides I told you I was through with
the Harrisons, kit and boodle."
"Well, you'd hardly call him a
Harrison, Neal. You might almost
say the Harrisons had given him
his walking papers, even more ener
getically than you propose handing
them theirs," I protested smilingly.
"Well, it makes me—remember,
just to see Dalton," said Neal incon
sistently.
"You aren't going to cut me out,
are you. dear?" I asked, running]
over to take Neal's head in my arms
so that T could rumple his red curls.
He straightened abruptly.
"Yeah. I am—in a sort of away,
Babbs. I'm moving. Came in to
fetch my kit. T've found me a
boarding house. Ten a ew arfkeo
room and two meals a day."
"Oh, Neal!" T protested, actually
on the verge of tears, but then reali
zation of his*soreness made me take
things by the practical instead of
the sentimental handle.
"Please stay with us. T can't bear
to have you' endure hardships."
"Hardships! Huh!" grunted Neal.
"Say, I've been training in a camp
where if the water wasn't frozen T
won. And T've had so much setting
on exercises that running up four
flights won't make me feel out of
luck at all."
"TTon't go, dear," T pleaded. We
have seven rooms and two bn'hs.
There's plenty of room for von."
"Bid you bear Jim saying so?"
demanded Neal.
"No. But be offered you a job,
surely you don't think he'd begrudge
yo" y home."
"T don't know. Babbs. Why was
i.a so .lorn anxious to g've me a
hundred and a quarter if he wasn't
salving his conscience for turning
me loose And about that brother
stuff—maybe he doesn't feel so close.
After all, I'nv only your half-brother,
you know."
"You never threw that in my face
before, Neal. Are you planning to
make me feel it now?" I asked
sadly.
"Say, Babbs—don't blubber. We
know how we feel. But you're up
in the world now, and I'm down.
I'll take my stuff and be going."
"But your address, Neal?"
Neal came over and took me in
his arms. He kissed mc gently, but
with an air of finality.
"I'll send you that in a day or two.

THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
By VIRGINIA TEItHtiXE VAN DB ,WATER
By Virginia Terlumc Van tic Water.
CHAPTER LXVIII.
Honora looked on dumbly as her
sister and Tom Chandler vanished
through the revolving doors of the
restaurant. Then she turned to
Arthur Bruce.
He still stood with her coat held
in liis hands, his eyes fixed in the
direction in which Mildred had dis
appeared.
"Arthur!" Honora pleaded.
That was all, but at the sound of
her voice he came to himself as if
just awakened, and gave a short,
bitter laugh.
That was his only comnjent, and
the girl made none. Together they
left the restaurant without exchang
ing another word.
Once in the noonday bustle of
the busy strdet, connected conver
sation was so difficult that its ab
sence did not seem strange. Silently,
Arthur guided his companion hack
to the building in which her office
was located. In the vestibule he
held out his hand.
"Thank you for going with me."
he said.
She returned his hand-clasp and
smiled. "Thank you for the lun
cheon," she rejoined. "And thank
you much more for what you have
confided to me. I have not been
able to tell you how glad T am for
you—h,ut you know that T—that we
all are proud and happy for you
and are hoping all kinds of splendid
things for you."
He made as if he were about to
speak impulsively, then changed his
mind and released her hand.
"As I have already told you. T
shall not go for several days yet,"
he said. "T shall certainly see you
again if you will let me. And
please come to see my mother as
often as you can make it convenient
to come. She is very fond of you,
you know."
Arthur Leaves Her
He lifted his hat, turned abruptly,
and went on out of the building.
Honora watched him cross the
street, then entered the waiting ele
vator and was taken up to her office.
Once here, so many things came
surging to her mind, so many read
justments were being made in her
scheme of life, that she sat at her
typewriter, staring with unseeing
eyes at the lurid "art calendar" on

I added hastily as the girl blushed.
When, office hours ended, Honora
Brent closed her desk and started
| for home, the thought of Mildred,
land of the problem that' she had
become within the past few weeks,
was uppermost in her mind.
A Real Lesson Needed
To herself the older girl con
fessed that she was at. her wits end.
The "little sister" of whom s) e had
always thought as of one to be
guided and directed, was now de
terminedly doing exactly as she
pleased without regard for appear
ances or the deeper things that lay
behind them. Always vain and self
willed, she was now complete mis
tress of her actions, and Honora
realized that scoldings and pleadings
would do no good.
"What she needs is a real lesson,"
she said sternly to herself, all the
time conscious that it was just such
a lesson that she dreaded for the
child. "A real lesson," she repeated,
or a severe punishment. And 1 can
not give her either," she added smil
ingly brimly.
Mrs. Higgins was standing at the
front door when Honora reached
home. ■ •
'I was just looking for the even
ing paper,' the matron explained.
"I'm always anxious to get the Stur
and see just what those Germans
have done. The newsboy gets here
later each day, I really believe."
Honora asked if Mildred was in.
"She came in about 3 o'clock "
Mrs. Higgins said, "although I was
surprised to see her away from the
office at that time. But she said
I she had to take her blue dress to
the tailor to be altered at once. She
took it out in your suitcase, by the
way."
A spasm of alarm gripped ITonora,
j but she said nothing and ran on up
stairs. When she entered her room
and looked about the familiar place
her ridiculous fears subsided. As
she removed her hat and laid her
hatpins on the tray on her bureau
her hand touched an envelope lying
there. There was no superscription
on it, yet her fingers trembled as
she opened it.
When she read it, she groped for
a chair and sat down limply, the
letter dangling from her hand.
iDear Sister," the message had
run, "I am leaving to marry Tom
t'handler before he goes overseas.
He loves me and I am proud to have
a soldier for a husband. • Yoi won't
see me unUl after the woddihg.
Both of us hope you won't be angrv
Love. Mildred."
A rap at the door made Honora
thrust the letter into her bosom.
"Come in!" she called unsteadily.
Mrs. Higgins stood on the thres
hold, the evening paper in her hand.
"Isn't this awful about young
Chandler," she exclaimed.
"What about him?" Honora de
manded, springing to her feet.
In respone, Mrs. Higgins held oift
the paper, the front page uppermost I
