LNA esns â€"LT® it When I reached the hotel I closely followed my plan. From the desk I found out Lemoyne‘s room number and hurried away to a waiting elevaâ€" tor and soared up to one of the topâ€" most floors. That it was an unconvenâ€" tional thing I was doing I realized as I approached the formidable looking door, but I knew that if I hesitated I would lose my nerve to go on, so I rapped, cautiously at first and then decisively,. determined to be heard. _ I glanced at my wristâ€"watch. Ten o‘clock, Perhaps Lemoyne was not up. It was certainly early for a call in New York. Thern came a faint voice that I scarcely recognized as that of Lemoyne. I opened the door and walked in to the room. Lemoyne. in neglicee The next morning I took a bus which traversed the distance between Ellie‘s apartment and Lemoyne‘s luxâ€" urious hotel. It was a sparkling day, sunshiny and cold. I sat, as I had never grown.tired of doing, on top of the bus and gave myself up to the thrill of being in the brisk, invigoratâ€" ing outâ€"ofâ€"doors. Could she have known about Bar ry‘s attention to me for the past few weeks? Had she found out how man times.he and I had been alone? Perz haps she was eating her heart out i silent grief, or, on the other hand, with her temperamental nature, there was the bare possibility of her sulk: ing in a jealous rage. Regardless of how she felt I realized that I coulti not gain any serenity of spirit unti I could have a chat wih her and find out for myself her attitude of mind, If I telephoned to her hotel it would be the same old story, so impulsively I decided to go to her unannounced.

Each time I had phoned she had said that she was busy with her managers, contracts, rehearsals and innumerable events which crowd, to the utmost, a singer‘s hours. Even following her first conâ€" cert I was unable to see her because she had sent word that she was hurâ€" rying away to a party with some other friends. Sallie Visits Lemoyne Unexpectedly From the day that Ellie told me that Curtiss no longer loved me or wanted me for his wife I moved about as a person in a dream and, in a dazed sort of fashion, I felt that I had lost my hold on the reality of life. A great many conditions, persons, and things shadowed my thoughts putting themselves up as barriers against my promiseâ€"vague thought it wasâ€"to marry Barrington Pierce. Not the least of these persistent and disturbing influences was the thought of Lemoyne Danielle. In the still hours of the night I would awake with a start and find myself murmuring some word or phrase spoken by the young singer herself which had disâ€" closed her great love for the man who had asked me to be his wife. 1 W 1 Copyright 1925 by Publishers Autocaster Service f 19 # 8 a 9 3 4 a 3 # 8 L U # 4 18 0 4 a 4 a 4 18 1 1 8 a 6 6 8 a8 a8 o8 (U # 6 a 8 a 6 6 4 U t 8 18 18 a 9 18 18 0 4 18 P C a 8 a 6 # i a 6 a d # 6 8 Ff 68 18 a 8 18 18 18 P L i+ 19 on on as on on on on on an on an un us on an us is on on us s ue on ms me on on an us on on m {} on on as on on an an un on as us un as as on an on 5o sn as on on as on un h an un an an on t yne was not| â€" "But divorce is such a simple mat-: rly for a call ter these days that it will only be ‘a ; came a flintl? question of a few months before youl recognized as|can be free to marry again."

Suddenly a line from apopular novel flashed through my mind: "You can never gain happiness for yourself by stepping on another woman‘s heart," and that is exactly what I had unwitâ€" ingly attempted to do. I was genuineâ€" ly fondâ€"of Lemoyne. She had been so unaffectedly sweet and lovely to Curâ€" tiss and me when we were in France. We had been unable to find accommoâ€" dations in Parisand she had graciousâ€" ly insisted that we remain as her guests and had done everything posâ€" sible to make qur stay a delightful one.
