"You leave Emmy to me?ehe'a

Two weeka later one night Emmy
tiptoed in the connecting drees
lngroom and softly called Aunt
Kate, and when the klmonoed lady
appeared flung herself on the
ample* boaom and cried joyously,
"Aunt Kate we're engaged.
Look!" She displayed an immense
aolltarlre on her finger.
"Ta Tk.^JaH. a uu.iaett Mki.

Aunt Kate, Juat to make

Emmy, glowingly happy nodded.
But Emmy's cup of Joy ran over
when ' a week later Thaddeua Abbott
laid In hor hands a small velvet
box. ,
"Not diamond buckles!" panted
Emmy as ahe viewed the glittering
coveted ornaments. "Ob!" and
pressed tbe cold dazzling atones
to her warm Hps. If sh^hid any
murmuring doubts now she was
sure that Thaddeus Abbott was
her real prince for everlasting
happiness.
She could scarcely wait to thank
him and rush to her room to show
Aunt Kate and Uncle Dave this
emblem of her happiness, the
Realization of her fondert dream,
for they knew what diamond
buckles had always meant in Emmy's
life. She hastened to the connecting
dressing room, Aunt
Kate's name^on her lips, but waited
when she'heard the word "diamond
buckles" mentioned.
"You told him, Dave, what Importance
Emmy attached to
them?" questioned her aunt, "and
he laughed about it? That wasn't
very nice, but?" a
"I Insisteded," Uncle Dave emphasized.
"I could have shaken
the fellow, putting It off from dayj
to day. This morning I cornered
him all right. He said he lost all
;his money In the game last night

Emmv sat In her room In tbe!
dark for a long time. It was as1
If suddenly everything was strip-'
ped of artificiality and fivery and
there remained only the truth,
bare and startling. The intoxicating
excitement of the novelty of
the unaccustomed surroundings
left her; she felt very sobdr and?'
homesick. She saw herself as a
fortune hunter, grasping for the
material, not considering the real
worth of character. Thaddeus Abbott,
stripped of adornment and
affectedness, was but a gambler.
"Uncle Dave," whispered Emmy
the next morning, "I'm sorry toj
leave you this way?I've written |
Mr. Abbott a little note, and here

his hand?"I know you and Aunt:

night. "I couldn't go through \
with it. Mummie?1 want realj
happiness!"
"After all I'm glad you. want!
that and not money," smiled her
mother understanding^.
It was only a few nights later I
when Kminy and Johnny O'CJon-i
nor sat on the porch swing dis-1
:ussing the next family picnic in
view. when a lull in the conversation
gave Johnny the opportunity
to say ruther embarrassingly.
Before you went away, Emmy,
I bought you a little present?not
much, but I thought?" He drew
a pasteboard box from his pocket
and laid it in her open palm.
Emmy raised the lid and there
on a neat white card were pinned
two diamond slipper buckles! Not
real diamonds, of course, but dazzling
imitations.
"Oh, Johnny!" was all Emmy
could say in a clouded, trembling

So to the office to show his haggard
face, to explain what * had
happened. He stayed home, putting
in an endless day of torment.
As he Bat, head In bandB and
numb with misery, the sound of
a key In the lock sent him trembling
to his feet.
"Connie! Oh my *lrl?"
But Connie stood there.,,without
her bag, quite cold, unrepentIng,
eren disapproving, regarding
him steadly. Fred fell back the
recation of his joy sending him
into a sort of choking rage. How
could Connie stand there unmoved
before the haggard man she
had dragged through a night of
hell?a man whose only thought
was to make a home and future
lor ner: how could she! Good
God, sheNvasn't worth suffering
for?In dumb agony he waited for
her to speak.
"I have been to Mr. Steward's"
said Connie, her words coming in
little clicks, "and have asked him
all about this Barrlnger matter?"
"Oh, you have? How delicate
of you!" It did not seem like Fred
speaking, but as though another
personality, hard and cold, bad
taken'possession of him. *
"The man 1 married was about
to ruin his associates and I had
no call to be 'delicate.' Mr. Stolyard

notify the police his name is being
used In what he Is convinced
is an enormous swindle. I only
came to tell you that." She turned
with just one more word.
"Good by."

A few weeks, ago Sonia the Cigarette

For-weeks she lay in a hospital

village friends, the posts and painters
who laughed with her and blew
smoke rings with her in cellar and
garret, bad deserted her.
On the walls were none of the
gay tapestries,. the paintings and
the sketches in which she delighted.
The sounds which came to her
were ominous sounds, lacking the
music %nd laughter which to her
bad constituted life.
Sonia is only In her twenties.
Youth rebels at grim hospital walls
and white-clad doctors ana nurses,
with their stethoscopes and mysterious
charts.
But now doctors Bay that Sonia
has won her fight?that soon she
will be discharged.
Everyone knows Sonia'In the Village.

would make a little money at one

Sometimes she woi\ld mane nothing
