"You‘re a bit incomprehensible, Lucy," he told her. "You hate me; yet you‘d save me. Well, I‘d take money only from the woman I was married to, and I‘d hate to take it from her." "But you would?" she asked. He shrugged. U "Ho avoid jail, yes." "Then," she said, "IIl have to marry you. Toâ€"day. Now!" Apparently hurried weddings, among people nationally known, are bound to cause gossip. But neither he nor Lucy would have cared a whit for that. Had their marriage heen one of equal love and trust, they would have been uninterested in the nasty~speculations of nasty people. "I hate you," she blazed. "That‘s whyâ€"you mustn‘t go to jail. You must take my money." But Lucy had left him. She had strolled out of his patio as unconâ€" cerned. as though she had been havâ€" ing tea and was now on her way home to dress for dinner. Home! She had gone home! _ Devilâ€"Mayâ€"Care she was called. Well, the insouciance that defied death itself could not defy Tim Stevens. He knew his rights and he would have them. He‘d forceâ€" But he slumped back in the wicker chair that protestâ€" ed against his twisted bulk. He‘d tried to foree Lucy last night and she had chosen almost certain death in preference to himself. He might as well face the facts; he was no nearâ€" er Lucy now than he was before the minister had read the marriage cereâ€" mony to them. "«Then," she said slowly, "as I can‘t let you go to jailâ€"" "Why not?" he demanded. "Is it because, after all, you love me ?" "Not even to keep out of jail?" she demanded. "You‘re a shade better than I thought." He bowed. "Many thanks." She bit her lip. "But Mr. Leeson said you‘d be arâ€" rested this afternoon." He bowed again. "Great little manâ€"Leeson." "I can‘t let you go to jail," she cried helplessly. 3 ; "And I couldn‘t take your money," he. said. To marry a man who positively ravened for her, and then coolly deny herselfâ€" That, he thought, was the explanation. She had no intention of coming back to him, ever. But to have loaned, given him an incredible sum of money, to have married him in order to assure his acceptance of the money, to have instilled in his heart the hope that, married, she would relent, would come to himâ€" What exquisite torture was this? The path through the trees to the center of the island, where Faunce‘s cabin was located, was easily followâ€" ed. In five minutes she was upon the edge of the clearing, and, her torch turned aff, was standing gazing at the porch of the cabin. South, along on the Ocean Bouleâ€" vard, Luecy bowled along in the little Ford. Somehow, the ocean that had seemed so grim and dour a few hours ago, now, in the gathering dusk, seemed gentle and inviting. She was looking right at him, but his eyes never flickered. His hand moved toward the checkâ€"book; he swept a piete of paper from it and tore it into tiny bits. "Perhaps," he agreed calmly. "But â€"inasmuch as I‘m not to marry you, I‘d hardly take your money." Before the cabin blazed a fire. It had extended beyond the confines of the fireplace, and was, quite evidently, not for purposes of cooking, but for purposes of cheerful companionship and perhaps warmth. The resinous pine logs roared and cracked, and threw a fierce light upon the face of Fergus Faunce, who sat upon his porch. ‘"Who‘s that?" he called. "It‘s Lucy Harkness," she said. "I wonder," he said,« still seated in his chair, "if our thoughts evoke our friends, or if the approach of our friends evoke our thoughts. Or has the tropic moon, which has just peered over the palms brought delightful madness to me ?" He had shaved, had donned fresh flannels, a colored shirt, and a gay tie. He could wear clothes, she inâ€" consequently thought, better than any man she had ever seen. "This is a surprise," he said. She made no reply, but opened the satchel and dumped the money upon the table. "What‘s is all about ?" he asked. «To save you from jail," she reâ€" plied. There was a hard finality in his voice. His eyes puckered, and a tiny crease appeared between them. "Jail?" he echoed. "Mr. Leeson has seen me. He told me that a man who wanted to marry me was a thief. Perhaps, Tim, one reason was because of what money I possess. : She stared at the tropic moon which now had gloriously risen. She saw, silhouetted, the lacy outlines of the palms and the pines. She could hear the eternal rustle, of the trees, as the pines kissed the palms, and the palms returned the caress. â€"Kittle inttmate noises came from the jungle, as though the night whispered secrets hidden from the day. Afar, the wild surf wooed the sand=â€" And the glory, the unutterable glory of the Florida starsâ€" s | FIFTH INSTALMENT Half an hour later her chair pausâ€" ed before the gate of Steven‘s place, out beyond Vita Serena, in southern Palm Beach. He was in his garden, at a table on which lay something that looked like a checkâ€"book. He was writing in it, but looked up as Lucy approached, and waved away the colored servant who had admitted her. He rose and stared at her. i td * C .

"No, I don‘t think so. You didn‘t come here lightly, my child. You did some thinking. I simply said I would rot lightly smirch you. Let‘s hear your reasons." "Would be.as unimportant as I have just indicated to you!" he laughed. "But your own reputation: that would be a thing not slightly to be smirched by any act, even though merely acâ€" quiescent, of mine." "And that reputation of . your which I have just mentioned?" suddenly. "Where is suits you; or nowhere," he replied. "I‘m in trouble," she said. "Of course," he said. "Why ‘of course‘?" she demanded. "All people are in trouble, always. They may not know it, but the fact reâ€" mains." "Well, I know it, andâ€" â€"Suppose I just wanted to stay hereâ€"oh, for as long as I choose, Fergus Faunce."

We say this without hesitation, because, at the new /ow prices now in effect, the 1930 Eightâ€"tube Rogers is unquestionably the greatest radio value in Canada. Four Christmases ago (and that is a long time in the radio industry) Rogers blazed the trail for all of the electric radios that are on the market this Christmas. 28 MAIN ST.
