THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG HEARTS ADRIFT By Mildred Barbour. THE EXILE'S RETURN In her hotel suite in the town where 'she once had been a reigning belle, $i waited impatiently for Tony atterson to come to her. She waited almost as a recluse, bar- * gicaded from. all outsiders and the press. . } At first, still confident of her power, she had gone boldly forth from her | rooms gowned in the latest Parisian fashion. She had dined in' the hotel sestaurant and even gone to the thea- | ter, but even as impervious as she had | become, she had to own herself beaten | after a day or two. Everywhere she | met curious stares--stares that awak- } ened to lively interest as recognition | " dawned. Despite the change in her ap- | rance, she could not remain incog-] mito in the town of her birth and, | moreover, since her features had been ®lazoned on the front pages of the | newspapers from time to time, follow- | jng her elopement with Cartwright, | she was a marked woman. | At the theater, in the hotel and on | the streets, she encountered former | "friends and acquaintances and all of | "them turned their heads away to avoid | speaking to her. It was infinitely | "worse than Cannes and the occasional | lights she had received from the Ame- | rican tourists who knew her story. Be- | fore a week had elapsed, she was ready | to admit she had made a mistake in| geturning. It was only her determin- | ation to see Patterson and complete | the conquest which she confidently be- | ~ fieved she had started abroad, that kept her from repacking her trunks and seeking seclusion elsewhere. Patterson, it so happened, was out of town. In answer to her summons, phe had received from him a courteous ote, assuring her that he would give himself the pleasure of calling upon her immediately upon his return. A woman with less vanity and assur- ance than Madge, would scarcely have found it encouraging og considered it 'the preliminary to a proposal of mar- Yiage, but Madge was completely sure of her own power. She had never fail- ed with a man yet and, with so much at stake, she was confident that she gould not fail now! The waiting was.long and tiresome and Madge loathed being alone. After 'much hesitation, she rang up Patricia and endeavored to carry off the situa- tion with her old, gay insouciance. «But Patricia's voice over the 'phone % sorry, Madge, but I am thequgtr J did the best I could for you: You had your chance and you 'tossed it away. Heaven knows why. I can't do any more for you." Madge became tearful. . "But 1 am so lonely, Pat. 'isn't even any one to talk to." *I'm sorry," Patricia repeated. "You woluntarily decided to leave Mr. Cart- wright. You'll have to find new com- panions, I'll cherish a fondness for the girl you once were, but I can't give up any more of my life to help some one who deliberately wrecks herself." Madge banged the receiver. petul- antly on the hook. But she told herself confidently that Patricia would get over her resentment sooner or later. " Time dragged endlessly after" that. inally, nerving herself to the ordeal, 'she called the house where she had "Been brought by her devoted grand- mother after the loss of her parents the Titanic, where she had made debut as a girl, from where, as a she had gone to the home Paul pnister had provided for her.

The sound of Lila's voice roused in her more emotion than she had believ- they would never meet again except by chance. | It was that same evening that Madge received a telephone cal Patterson announcing his return to town and asking if he might call. | She made herself beautiful and wait- | ed, once more the serene, radiant, con- | fident Madge. | (To be Continued) | | RADIO THURSDAY, NOV. 19th.

"This is Madge, Lila," she found herself faltering. There was a moment of silence, then Lila replied with apparent calmness: "Ah, yes. I heard that you were in town again." "Don't you want to see me, Lila?" "Did you think I would?" "Lila, please don't be hard," Madge pleaded. "I know I have been very wicked and I have hurt you, but I want to see you so much." Again Lila hesitated an appreciable moment, then she said: "If you will tell me where.you are, I will come to you, but you musn't come here. Grandmother has not been well for a long time. She is old now, Madge, and I am afraid of what a shock might do to her." Lila came to the hotel that after- noon and Madge, for once found her- self speechless before her. There was some quality in Lila's face, a sweet- ness and a purification as one who might have gone through fire and come out with all the dross burned away. It made Madge suddenly as if she ought to go on her knees before her and she saw, more over that in Lila's eyes--eyes that had been young and fresh and happy when she had last looked into them--the shadow of suffering for which she, herself, was responsible and which Time could never eradicate. It was a difficult interview. Madge found suddenly that she had nothing to say in her own defense and Lila made it harder for her by asking for none. They were two strarigers with a gulf between them which could never be bridged. It was all the sadder for the lurking memory in the mind of each of those old days when Madge used to sing softly in the twilight in the drawing room and Lila. would creep close to listen adoringly, When they departed, each knew that Kidney Troubles brought Pains in the Back R) DR.
