THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG When The Are Troubled With Summer Complaints CHAPTER XVIIL Deirdre stared blankly at Mar- cella, as though looking through be- yond the girl, "Don't you remember me?" in- quired the atter, rather regretting her impulsivs action in renewing the slight and not too pleasant acquaint. ance with this woman, But somebow she had felt sorry for her. And--miserable herself-- she could understand the suffering of others, "Yes. Yes, of course." The blank look gave place to a puzzled one.

Fear shone in her amber-coloured eyes. Her hands shock. She clasped them tightly in her lap and stared up at Marcella as though she were & terrifying ghost out of the past, "Do--do you want anything?" she gasped. "What is it? Tell nie!" Marcella slipped into a vacant chair. People would notice the crea- ture's excitement, so she must act normally and easily. "Of course I don't want any- thing," she said in a soothing voice, "Unless to help you in any way } can" The supplementary phrase was ut- tered on an impulse. Intuitively she sensed that the trembling woman was in trouble of some sort. "No ome can help," said Deirdre in a dull, monotonous tone, her hands gripping one another tightly, Then, as though she had to say fit: "Death "ud be the only thing could help me! I'm trying to make up my sald Marcella, the woman mind which way the going would be easlest--and quickest." Her listener recofled. Suicide? "Don't talk Mke that! Nothing's 80 bad that it can't be better!" How trite and silly the empty phrase sounded. But Deirdre wasn't even listening. She was staring straight ahead of Yer again, with the blank stare that had so alarmed Marcella. ha 8.7 A MAN'S SHOP work-shop," said the Dream-Maker Man to the Twins, "I shall finish a dream I am making. Then I can help you to look for your lost china elephant and toy clown." . 80 the Twins followed the Dream- Maker Man to his work-shop, while Snoosle and Snuggle and Snore, his three sons, went out in their afr planes to do some errands on the moon, : Snoozle was to buy a pound of star dust to make bahjes" eyes sparkle, Snuggle was to buy the tails of a dozen comets to make smiles for them, ¥ And Snore was to search all over the moon for a dimple-tree. All these things the Dream-Maker WOn*| Man used in his dreams and they Were preity hard to fing, Well, the Twins followed the Dream-Maker Man into his work- shop, as 1 said before, and he set chairs for them while he finished making a dream, "Who is the dream for?" asked Nick, as the Dream-Maker Man tied on a big apron and rolled up his sleeves, "It's tor a little boy down on the earth called Johnny Conway," said the Dream-Maker Man, as he began to stir up some things in a kettle, with a big boon. "What is it to be about?" asked Nancy. - "Oh, I forgot!™ said the Dreams. barn | Maker Man.

Her own trouble had grown less gigantic in the face of another's woe. "No. You wouldn't understand. No one would. They'd think I was lucky--to have got rid of him. They'd say he was a bad lot. He was, too--but I'd give my soul to have him back again. Marcella saw daylight. A love af- fair? "I understand, Deirdre. That kind of pain is the worst to besr. You mean that your husband's dead?" She didn't know if Deirdre had a husband, but the grief on the wo- man's small, pale face showed the strength of her affection. "No, not dead." She looked up suddenly at the other. "He's chuck- led me, that's all! Cleared out this afternoon, and says he's through with me." Her voice broke. "Why? Marcella puf out pathetic hand and touched the wo- man's arm, Deirdre winced, and bjerked her arm away, "Don't! That's where he hurt me... He-he always was a beast to me--leastways, nearly always. He-- he only wanted me as long as I was useful to him." This was followed by a choking, stifled sob. "Then you are lucky to be 'tree of him!" exclaimed Marcella, "Why, if a man dared to strike me, I--I'a turn the police on him--I'd walk straight out of the house, and dare him to follow me, to speak to me--" "Oh, no, you wouldn't. Not if you loved the way I love my--my band." She lifted up her head with 8 ueer defiance that went iI with her misery. "Girls like you-shelter- od and well-born and refined---don't understand the kind of Jove that'll bear anything, just so long as your man stays with you--" "I do understand," herself, her tholights Sent Miles, He might cruel, false, but she simply couldn tear his image from her héart!)

"Don't forget," sald the Dream- Maker Man, "that in a dream every- thing goes and generals may do any- thing at all. It just happens that Johnny thinks it would be fine to be carried around on people's shoulders and have them shout 'hurrah.' He'd like to dream that." " "What kind of a dream will you give him if he doesn't eat his crusts and' everything?' askea Nancy, "Oh, I'll have to send him a dream that Jsn't so pleasant, I'm afraid," said the Dream-Maker Man, shaking his head.

"You don't know Jose. Sometimes I don't think he has a human heart." Marcella hesitated. She couldn't spend much time here with this woman ----- Warwick Treman was waiting in the vestibule--but she did want to understand the whole cause of her troubles, and to hélp 'her. "Why did he go away and leave you?" "Because I straight." "Ah! though Marcella, here was missionary work all read to her hand.

The best side of him is bound to respect you. And you'll soon begin to see the brighter side of things. Deirdre gave a wan smile. This innocent child was almost funny though her heart seemed in the right place. "The brighter side? Ha! Ha! Would you feel bright if yon hadn't a single pal in the world, or a job, or money, and your best boy left you? Would you? Why, I don't know where my next meals coming from ~--and what's more, I don't care!" Here was a snag. Marcella herself a8 in financial difficulties. The family bills hung over her pretty head like the sword of Damoceles. To-morrow morning a man from the jeweller's was coming, to value her trinkets and make an offer, She and her dreamy, impractical father were in actual straits. "But there's surely something you could do, Deirdre? You'd be hap- pler working. I--I want to find a 4 | job, myself." "You?" Deirdre was incredulous. "With your lovely face, and clothes, and jewels? And the young fellow on the ship that was erazy over you? . The other winced. She had touched inadvertently on a very sore place here. ~ "Never mind abbut me. Talk about yourself. You must get work, Deirdre, Now, what can you do?" Marcella tried to sound brisk and bracing, and Deirdre's sad face lightened just a little. fs "I dance quite decently. Jose and I did a dancing turn In Belgium one summer that was a perfect riot. Cabaret work, you know. Maybe 1 could get on the hélls over here, if I could find a partner. But there's no one could touch José--" And she sighed reminiscently, Marcella rose, slipping a card in. to the woman's hand. "I'll see I I can find anything for you. Come and see me about eleven to-morrow morning, and we'll talk the matter over. And-wand in the meantime, don't do anything---fool- ish!"
