The men no longer had a monopoly
on that pleasure.
One generous contribution toward
Marcia s assurance was the evening
she dined with fvrev DuMott at the
Prairie Inn. It seemed in her to l>e
“the beginning of things." When she
had given him her answer of accept
ance. there had lieen a long confer
ence ami lie hail given her the pre
pared leciure to memorize. Then he
had suggested, "There I* a great deal
more to be* said. How alsvut having
dinner with me at the hotel this eve.
ning. to complete arrangements l»e
--fore 1 leave tomorrow?"
Tlvere was nothing unusual ulmut
the ifleideut. Marcia had dined at
the Prairie Inn w ith other men. some
of them casual business acquaint
ances—salesmen entertaining their
buyer. Rut that dinner with Percy
DuMott introduced a new era in hot
life.
lie was a delightful host without
departing from the original objective
for which the engagement was
planned. <>s soon as the captain—
when the prairie Inn dining room
was honored with *o distinguished a
guest, his service was not carelessly
delegated to either of the two veteran
waiters—lmd bowed himself away
with the order, he launched into plans
and discussions. They talked in low
tones, oblivious of their surroundings
and their mutual ardor. Marcia was
radiant. Her eyes always shone; but
when they were lighted with the
spark of ambition, they dazzled their
beholder. DuMott was amazed anew
at her beauty and congratulated him
self upon his good fortune in obtain
ing her for the work.
*1 am still wondering how it ts
that I had the rare good fortune to
find you." lie observed, carving the
special roast guinea fowl which he
had ordered for the dinner in ad
vance that morning.
"I only hope that I can make good.’’
Marcia said fervawly. bar thonghta

her sorts

"Not at all. Why, it ia exactly

Into his eyse with a twinkle of mutual
understanding. **btil ws can’t always

"It would not be a progressiva

ward. hoi even if never the twain
shall meet, and the world Is round
besides ”
"I’ve wondered." Marcia reflected,
"why so many people In these days
object to anyone vent urine awor
from home to conquer new world*
when it ie eo easy and pleasant If
travel. Think of the women of Icqp
than a century ago. who left their
homes knowing that they never could
return to them, to travel by tortuous
and dangerous way? into unknown
places to make their homes and rear
their children, or die. One chance
was almost as good as another. Thai

«liiy think travel is. Women do. espe
cially. Yet it was the women of the
pnst who were the hravoet and
Hayed the greatest part, in the mak
ing of new countries. They suffered
more than the men in their ad ven
ture s."
He regard™ he- soberly. "You
are very Intetesting—a r>arariox. Who
ever said that beauty nr.d brains— *•
I.Vrey dismissed the phraso with a
gesture of his tork. PYoij are right,
absolutely. All rhlr hue and cry
about women holding their own tn

ridiculous. They always have been
men's partners In business. When

The -.ouitig parsed swiftly,
brightly. Had Martha not known that
if war only “the beginning of things. *
she would have regretted itr parrlng.
Rut she knew that It was only the
beginning. Not only the preface of
her business future. Du Mott
Implied that it wa» oof the end of
their i>cr.sonßl acquaintance. as well.
‘‘We shall continue our discussions
at some time In ihflf future, some

with you continually, of course: and
shall look forward yfc peeing you in

not hesitate to call upoh me for any
service or advice that I can give you.

Mareta promised that she would
obey. She liked him ww*y nfnch and
