CHAPTER CLXXXIII j t
(Copyright 1919. King Feature Syn
dicate. Inc.)
When I got to the top of the steps 1 t
leading to Evelyn Mason's home I '
hesitated. I hated to give Evvy this | t
glimpse right into the heart of my ! '
life, but my longing to see Xeal tri- <
umphed, and after a moment or two ■ J
I pressed the hell.
"Is Miss Evelyn in?" I asked the j *
maid who opened the door. I 1
"She's just come in. I think she's
dressing," was the reply.
I felt a little sparkle of triumph *
as I replied glibly:
"Tell her not to hurry: I've plenty >
of time. It is Mrs. Harrison."
Then I was admitted to a formal j 1
reception room, lavishly furnished. ; I
but empty as far as I was con- j
cerned, since Xeal wasn't there. \ ]
After a minute I rose and tiptoed ; 1
across the room like the intruder I !
was. and there in a coscy little den j '
I discovered Xeal serenely on- |
sconsed in a big wing chair. Still i s
tip-toeing, I crept up back of him |
and I laid my tiSgers across his 1
eyes. He pulled my hands down and ' ■
kissed them lightly. If this was the 1 1
way Xeal treated Evvy it spoiled j 1
my hopes ihat some day lie and '
I'lioebr would find each other again, i '
"Xeal! Xeal!" 1 cried.
"This is a mighty fine surprise, j
Babbsic," said Xeal. getting to his 1 '
l'eet and giving me one of his bear j
liugs.
"Only you thought it was Evvy j ]
surprising vou." I replied reproach- i
fully. I 1
"Since when does Evvy wear a !
wedding ring to press against my j '
eveball like a ton of bricks?" laugh- j
cd Xeal.
"Xeal—l followed you here." I ( '
confessed, thinking it wise to change ' 1
the subject. "I can't bear to have
you in the city and—not with us. j 1
Our new apartment is so big and i 1
solemn. Won't you come and bright- i
on it up with that jolly red head ; \
of yours?"
"It ntay be a read bead, but it'
isn't a dead head. Babbs. I might i 1
come, for your sake —if I could
pay my way."
"Then at least tell nic where j ,
you're living." I begged.
"Xix on that. sis. You wouldn't i
like the address and you'd try to
interfere."
"Xo, 1 won't. I must know where
you are. Neal. 1 can't follow Evvy
around to keep track of you," 1 re
torted a little bitterly.
' J</ ! might lose me even that
way! Babbs." Bald Neal -almost hit
ler. in turn." I can't afford to hang '
around Ewy long unless I pull
down something with a pay-envelope
attached."
"Oh. Xeal —no job yet?" I cried, j '
trying to bold fast to his hand, |
VICTORY FUNDS i
NEARLY A BILLION
Total Sales Officially Re

By Associated Press.
Washington. April 30.—Suliscrip-|
tions to the Victory Liberty Loan on ,
the basis of official reports to the:
Treasury to-day approached the bil- j
lion-dollar mark. Contributions from
all of the- twelve Federal Reserve dis- j
tricts officially tabulated showed j
that contributions reported during'
the past twenty-four hours were J
SI 43,404,000. bringing the total sales
to $984,884,130.
That the Victory Loan is lagging to'
some extent appeared to he indicated |
hv comparison with progress of thei
Fourth Liberty Loan drive, in whic l
subscriptions amounted to $1,323,713.-

vhile he brushed sentiment and me
aside.
"Don't worry. Babbsie, I'll land!"
"There's Jim's offer—that's still
open. Why don't yoti take it?"
"Babbs! Do you think I can
truckle to any of the Harrisons?
Do you think I could see Jim ev
ery day and not explode about his
lordly ways? There are a lot of
things. * By crickety, Babb- |
sie, don't you mind? Have the Har- ;
risons got you?"
" 'By crickety'—that's Father An
drew all over again." I heard my- j
self murmuring, with a half-buried i
hope down in my heart that Neal !
would prove himself Father An- j
drew's son in more than mere J
words and expressions. Aloud I said I
placatingly:
"Xeal. dear. I'm sorry you think j
I'm mean spirited—or Jim donii- j
peering. He's just a little dizzy with !
success, and a wife has to be tact- |
ful."
Xeal's eyes were hard as he !
studied me.
"Yes, but she doesn't have to ;
knuckle down like you do. When I
you let Jim and Virginia send that I
ring of mother's back to me the !
way they did —take Phoebe away!
from me —it was the beginning of i
tlie end of your independence. But j
I'll hang onto mine."
I bad to accept that. It was I
nearing seven now. and I wanted to
be at the Walgravc when Jim ar
rived—-I wanted him to feel that ho
was coming home. Perhaps I could ■
win again the tender mood of the
morning and revive in the familiar
surroundings the romance that had j
gone out of our lives.
"I have to run along. Xeal. Will j
you tell Evvy I'll phone her to- i
morrow. And —won't you promise
to call me every day?"
"All right—at ten in the morn
ing." 1 insisted. "I'll be in my
room waiting."
Then I rushed out, hailed a taxi
and drove eagerly to the hotel. At
the desk the clerk handed me a
message. "Mr. Harrison phoned,
6.30" it said: He is detained on im
portant business and won't be home
until very late.
Wearily 1 went up to our rooms.
The curb business-like tone of that
message chilled my hopes of happi
ness. When I got to my door 1
hesitated. longing to run away,
though I had nowhere to run. Then
T unlocked the door and entered a
great bay windowed living room,
with a glimpse of white beds in the
room beyond.
"Extravagant." I murmured in
differently. Then my mood changed
as I spied a mass of glowing red
roses on the center table.
"Jim —my Jim!" 1 whispered to
the stillness.

THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
By VIRGINIA TERHVNE VAN UK WATER
Ily Virginia Terliunc Van do Water. |
CHAPTKK I.XXIII.
! Honora usually prided herself up- |
on her excellent physique, but when i
she awoke on the morning after her 1
trip to llartford, she was aware that
in the last twenty-four hours she!
had taxed her powers of endurance;
to the utmost.
It had been almost dawn when she
fell asleep. At 7 o'clock she lifted ;
her head from the pillow, and a
sense of giddiness and weakness -
compelled her to lie down again.
When Mildred learned what the
trouble was, she advised her sister 1
to stay away from the olflce.
"I will telephone to Mr. Pearson j
and explain that you are not well," ,
she said. "1 am sorry you overdid!
yourself yesterday, but it's only an- j
other of the many things to make ]
me uncomfortable. Life isn't worthi
living, anyway."
Honora felt too ill lo argue. More
over she knew that Mildred's morbid
moods were of short duration. Had
she been a different type of girl, she!
would have been prostrated by the!
events of yesterday. As it was, her
quiet slumber through the night had j
been abundant evidence that her!
heart was not broken nor her nerves!
seriously strained.
Secretly, Honora was rather glad J
to escape the ordeal of bre'kfast'
with her sister and Mrs. Higginsj
this morning. The situation would j
be an awkward one, and her pres
ence won Id not lessen the discom-,
fort of It.
She thanked Mildred for offering]
to telephone to Mr. Pearson.
"Tell him it is only a sick head-1
ache and that I will be down this!
afternoon, if T am able, and explain ]
how sorry I am." she murmured, for!
the dizziness made her feel faint.'
Honora Protests
"I will tell him you are not fit to i
be out." Mildred declared. "Youj
work hard enough for him to give J
you an occasional holiday."
"Oh," Honora protested feebly. I
"he is more than kind to me and is!
j always willing to let me have time'
off:"
"Then let him prove it to-day,"
was the succinct suggestion.
Mrs. Higgins'persuaded Honora
to take a cup of tea and a slice of
toast, then darkened the room andj
left her alone. The tired girl slept i
soundly until noon, when the house-1
keeper reappeared with a tray of!
luncheon.
"This food actually fastes good,"
Honora remarked gratefully. "I feel I
ever so much better. I shall get
up pretty soon."
"Mr. Pearson telephoned at eleven
o'clock and said that you were not
to attempt to go to the oltieu to
day." Mrs, Hlggins informed her
charge. "So I am to make you t ike
care of yourself. You may as well
i have another nap."
"How was Milly this morning?
I I moan —did she seem happy at
•breakfast?" Ilonora iiuestioned.
"Well—not very," Mrs. Iliggitts
; admitted. "But don't you worry
about that. You know Milly's moods
!ure only passing ones. It' something
: ttiee happens downtown to-day she
| will come home as happy as a lark."
i Silence followed this statement —
:a silence which Mrs. Iliggins broke
i at last.
"I am sorry about Mildred and
i Arthur. He is such a nice young
'man. And he was in love with Mil
dred. Don't you think so "
Hotiora turned her head wearily
on the pillow and e'osed her eyes.
"He seemed to be." she said
I briefly.
"Well, I was wondering if he cares
for her still—T mean except as a
friend. T wonder if he loves her
now? If so, ho must ho very un
! hannv."
Slio Thinks of Arthur
| The speaker looked inquiringly at
ithe face on the pillow. But the eyes,
I were closed and the kindly matron I
decided to withdraw and let the girl |
I rest for a while longer. So, taking
jthe tray, she tiptoed from the room. |
But when she had gone Tlonora.
| opened her eyes and lay thinking
of Mrs. lliggins's surmises. Did Ar-!
thur still love Mildred? If so, he!
! must he very unhappy.
! She recalled his hitter laugh in the i
| restaurant yesterday when Mildred
j and Chandler passed him. It was not!
ja pleasant 'atigh: in it there was not j
ia sound that would indicate sorrow;
|or longing. Moreover, if Arthur had!
j loved Mildred, would he not have!
I thrashed Chandler when ho saw him
|in the hotel in Hartford?
! Then reason reminded her that I
