Sylvia is out of jail on i>nroh While <* fail, she met Smith's u'i/e, whom he threw over, and who teas imprisoned on a petty charge. • Sylvia's marriage is illegal, as Tony Oration, an accomplice of Iter's, acted <is the. Justice, of the Peace--but Smith doesn't Itwoir this. Tony, in «>i attempt «to swerve the girl from the straight 'path she wishes to traverse, plants a counterfeit bill in her purse. M'/ieit «*« spends it, attempts are made to arrest her; but Smith champions ktr canse and sfte goes free. , One day Smith calls her on the phone and tells her that Taylor, his superior, is coming hovse to dinner. Deciding to cook ' dinner as. a tokeit of appreciation of her "hiishand's" saving her from f>risoH. Just before Smith and Toyor are expected for dinner, Sylvia «« startled by a visit of Jeanie, Smit/l'* . Wife, icho has been released on parole. Sylvia "manages to get her out of the apartment before the men arrive. • SOW GO O.V WITH THE STORY •, haven't -eaten In the kitchen for years," said Taylor, as he sat ,bark from the meal. Syivta; Jftjay- V.4** the |oVin« wife, was sitting on Joes lap. ,rYou can always eat in ouf. -kitchen," phe declared. "Yes. But I^had & hard time arguing you into it. All yau women are alike. You tried to push me into the dining room, too. Say, 1 may not be boss in my house, but I'm boss right here. If you criticiie my sitting in a chair like this. I'll fire your husband out of a job so quick you couldn't even pay the rent." Sylvia acted it out rery aweetly There was little sleep for Sylvia that night. She turned everything over in her mind. She loved Joe Smith, there was no doubt about that. She was equally sure that she wai going to prevent Jeanie from blackmailing him. Sylvia made up her mind to go with the girl to Florida--anywhere'^ to get Jeanie out of New York and away from Joe Smith. -rwj . The next morning Sylvia wrote a letter: Dear Joe: I love you. We were n^er really married, so you have not committed bigamy. I am goingaway so that you will not be bothered by someone who Would cause you great unhappiness. • This is the' only fine thing I' have ever done in my life, apd my love for you has made me., big enough to do it. . ' " ^ C . Love, Sylvia." "?•: She' put the letter in an envelope and left it on the desk where Joe • would be sure to see it when he returned. Almost immediately after- Ward, Jeanie arrived. ^ ' "I've been thiivking It over,® Jeanie." Sylvia greeted-the girl. •'You're right. This is ho racket for mev We're going to hitch up as partners. Let's get going." She turned around and gave the room one last look, as though trying to remember. [ "Yes. We got work to do. We got to locate my trick husband." "No, we're going to Florida," Sylvia corrected. Jeanie put down her bag. • "What? Give up all that easy dough? You crazy? That money's practically \ Joe Vtrjf tlouilif ahd deliberately took her tn his arms. ' 1 Posed by Mae Clarke and Ralph Bellamy. > and pertitently. "Yes, Mr Taylor." The man leaned back and blew rings toward the ceiling as he puffed on his cigar. "That's more like it. This is how a house ought to be run. You know. Joe, 1 don't think I'm ever going to give you any more money. It'll spoil you. You'll start hiring servants." "Oh. no--we won't," Sylvia declared. "And you'd better give Joe more money We really need it." "What do you need more money for?" Taylor Inquired. "You're going to hare a baby?" "1--tr--I don't know," Sylvia replied. "You don't know? Well, who do vou expect to know--me?" Taylor Yeaned back in hM chair again. '! think you r# a fine couple.

I'll M much I'll be one of the family ^rWil like Mrs Taylor She likes kid* like you two- We'll see a lot of each other " 'That'll be v«yy nice." said Sylvia. "But I say" Taylor raised his eyebrows as though to warn her, "8he'll want you to have a baby She's daffy about babies." "Well, we weren't thinking of having a baby." said Joe. "That's - the trouble wlth^-you young married kids.'" Taylor continued. "Too much thinking and not enough action--I'm pretty sure I want a baby " Sylvia took It great.' "Well, we'd--uh--love to accommodate you but I don t think we could afford one Now if you gaverJoe a raise "Say. young lady, are you trying to get me to pay for the baby?" "Well, you want the baby " "Yeah That s right. But how do I know It'll be a boy?" "Well, if it's a girl, we'll name it after your wife." "Nothing doing! She gets the best of everything. I get the baby or nobody gets It--and ff It's a boy and you name It after me, I'm: not promising you anything--but yovj've got a chance to be a vice-president." Sylvia smiled sweetly at Taylor. "Well, we'll see what we can do about it." -^•••That's more like it" He started \o get up. "Urn going to hold you responsible. Joe." Sylvia and Joe Started to arise.- "No. no. You sit right there. That's one thing you've got to get used to. Don't pay any attention to mtf around here. I'll get my coat I haven't put on my own coat In years. It'll be a lot of . -'tun. Stay there, now" • Taylor got his coat and left. Sylvia dropped her pretended affection the instant the door closed upon Him. She ran to her room and closed the door Then she sat before the ' mirror and'"1b'r(ked 1'niently' at her own' reflection. , "Oh--you--sap!" she exclaimed. coming to me. It's almost honest." •No. We can't take any chances. We're both marked In this town. A. second offense here would be too bad." . , • Jeanie was slightly impressed. 1 guess you're right. See that kid? You got brains. I never thought ot getting caught. That's the trouble with me. Come on. Let's get going." They left the apartment and went directly to the station where they boarded the Florida train. Just as the locomotive was pulling into Trenton,. Jeanie said, "I wonder it we did the right thing giving up the easy dough we would have got from my husband." 'Oh. I'm sure we did the right thing," said Sylvia quickly, "It wM too dangerous," *Y?y nuf be ri»w, Sat it hurt* ^ S Im® H give it UU like that. Punny ai uuuu tnlhg. you know, is I'm not even married to that guy any more. You see. two years ago I divorced him In Mexico. He doesn't even know it. He thinks we'rs stilt married. I figured for enough money I'd go back to Mexico and get another divorce from him.' The train pulled into the station. Sylvia arose, "I'm going tnto 'the ladles' room for a moment," she said, as she moved along the aisle. Tnsread. Sylvia got off the train and hurried back to New York hoping to reach the apartment before Joe returned. The envelope was Just as she had left it. She hurriedly picked it up. but It was empty. Sylvia glanced about and saw Joe Smith smiling. He had read the letter. "Well, now -you know It all." she said flatly 1 Uh huh! Come here." She walked up to him. Joe, very alowiy and deliberately, took her in his arms and kiasc H her. "I've got so much to tei. you," sne declared, as she broke away. "I probab|_y know it," he replied quietly, "rour friend, Tony, came to visit me a wee^c after you were here and told me the whole story. I had to kick him down the stairs." He drew her to him. Sylvia was surprised at the revelation. "Say. Mrs, Smith." "What?" , "I'm getting a divorce. How would you like to marry me?" A: slow smile came over Sylvia's face. "What for'" "I want to be vlce-presidspntV "When I get through with you. you,'ll own the company!" She nestled in his arms. Sylvia was happy. At last life bid fair to move smoothly for her. As for Joe Smith. 4ie. too, liked the thoughts of having a wife--a wife who would take an interest in him as Sylvia had shown she could, when she for,-r'ot herself the nirht hefore durlng the presence of Mr. Taylor.

There were yards of track. a~ station, a signal tower, switches, even a tunnel and a turn- Table. The train whistled; It shot around curves with breath-taking speed, thundered through the tunnei, Its wlieels turning sd fast they flrere round blurs of speed. ' Never in his life, had Harold known a, gift so wonderful. The rest of the family abandoned all their presents to help set It up. to watch it, to exclaim over Its miniature perfection. Harold could scarcely take time to eat his Christmas turkey. He had no appetite but for the marvels of Uncle Dan's gift. "I can't thank you enoogh, sir," be said over and over. The old gentleuiein beamed down "it him. "Thought you'd enjoy It, boy," he said. "But look here, don't thank me . . . thank the hundred years behind if . , ,4What?" asked Harold. "All pyramided, boy. We benefit by the brains of men long dead and gone. Ever think of that?" No, Harold admitted, be hadn't thought of that. "We take what they discovered, what they worked at, slaved at, were ridiculed about, and sometimes died for . . .1 add a bit of our own Ideas . . . and pass It on to the next generation." Harold, gazing down at the splendid electric engine, black and gleaming, said slowly, "By George, that's so, isn't It?" It was a brand new idea. "We'd never get anywhere otherwise," continued Uncle Dan. "We are the present benefactors of the race." Harold was frowning. "I suppose if engineers hadn't first worked out steam and all that. w« wouldn't have an electric engine either," he admitted. "That's it . . . that's it 1 It pays to think about it seriously. Makes you understand progress better . . . our duty to the past, as well as responsl bllity to the present. I don't want to talk like an old fogey." Uncle Dan lowered his voice to a confidential note, "but I've always felt strongly about this particular thing. If. Barofd, we do accept the benefits which clever, hard-working men have given us, we don't deserve to be called civilised If we can't use these benefits Intelligently, and try to add our bit . . . for the next lot Get It?"
