If I'm a worthy pupil of Aunt Flora and Jerry Macklyn I'll get Jerry's pro- mise not to run the advertisement and 1 won't have to giive up my trip either. Jerry says a beautiful girl can get any- thing she wants--is entitled to it by the divine right of beauty, Well, dear teacher, we shall see!" The sight of the nodding, wisk- edly smiling face in the mirror start- | led her. She leaned forward, so that flesh and blood lips almost touched the mirrowed ones. "Who are you?" she demanded of the girl i nthe mirror. "I don't know you! You're a stranger and you've murdered Vera Cameron, Pm afraid of you" } But there was no terror apparent In the exquisite face and in the limpid clear green pools that were her eyes when she advanced, walking proudly, to meet Jerry Macklyn a half hour later. "Dear Jerry!" she said softly, as she gave him both her hands, stand- ing so close to him that the perfume WE LEAD IN RADIO Adams Furniture Co e.- L AAA( he had been at such pains to find for her wrapped him about like an ex- quisite, invisible cloak, "It's awfully sweet of you to come to take me to the train. I'm going to miss you--ter- ribly!" She hesitated before the last word, then dropped it gently, like a shy caress, "Then you're Soing to Lake Minne- tonka?" Jerry demanded savagely, "Don't be foolish, Jerry!" she childed him softly. "Of course I'm going to Minnetonka! My reservations are al- ready made, I've spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars for clothes, which I couldn't possibly wear at a less ex- clusive resort--" "Oh, shut up!" Jerry commanded her angrily. "You know why I don't want you to go! My God, you must know or you're blind or a fool or both! You said you couldn't bear for me to print those advertisements with your pictures, There are one or two things I can't bear either, Vera Cameron, and one of them is to see you carry out this insane scheme of yours to trap a rich man into marrying you--posing as a society girl=" His voice broke and 1e flung up an arm, "You shan't talk to me like that!" Vera cried passionately, "I'm not try- ing to trap a rich man into marrying me! I'd rather he was a poor man-- 1 salaried man, working for his living. doing something in which 1 could help him with my business training, 1 tel! vou, I don't care for his money and his social position! T only want him, hes cause I love him--" "Don't say that!" he struck out at her sharply, his voice rough with wony, "Yon're talking like a matinee- idol-worshiping flapper! You don" know what love is! You've seen him mly once, you know nothing ahout him--"" "How do you know?" Vera's green eyes widened in angry amazement "I've never told you--" "But Flora did, when she saw what was happening to me," Jerry told her savagely, "Tried to keep me from making a blankety-blank fool of my- self by putting me wise to the fact that vou were already dead gone on another man--" "She was very unselfish," Vee-Vee interrupted with cold sarcasm, *Oh, for God's sake, let's not quarrel, Vee-Vee," Jory begged with sudden humility, "I love you too much to hurt you--" "You--love me?" she echoed in a FOR SALE BY JOHNS PIANO STORE Simcoe St, N, ndy pack periect wrap Made perfectly under hl lech and iri AY 14 Friday Morning promptly at|8.30 1000 ALUMINUM KITCHEN UTENSILS 2 for $1 Regular Price 90c to $1.25 Walk Up and Down the Bargain Paths Your Dollar will Double its Value Here GET IT AT THE ARCADE DALY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 192A 20 Il voice. "Jerry--Fm sorry--" 1 don't want your pity!" He ung a furious hand across his eyes. You can't tell me you didn't know I loved youl Why, for God's sake, did you think I was devoting every minute of my spare time to you, and a lot that belonged to the firm as well? Helping vou choose the right clothes, taking you out every evening to the theater and to dance--" "I thought," Vee-Vee interrupted coldly, "that you were doing it be- cause you wanted to help me, because you were my friend, that you had an artist's interest in perfecting the thing you had made--" "And did you think for one minute that 1 was making you for another man to enjoy? I made a thing of beauty of you, Vera Cameron, because I loved you. 1 gave you these last three weeks because I was fool enough to believe that by constant association with me you could come to love me." "I thought these last three weeks were a game that you were enjoy- ing in the same way that 1 enjoyed it," Vee-Vee said weakly, groping for a chair, "A game? Oh, dear God!" Jerry groaned, dropping to the floor beside her and laying his head against her knees, Vee-Vee's slim, white fingers flut- tered to his head, hovered for a mo- ment over that flaming mop of red curls as if she were afraid it would burn her, then droppee lightly upon it, "Don't! I can't stand that!" ju flung up his head sharply, seized her caressing hand and crushed it against his grief-twisted hot lips, *"Vee-Vee! Can't you love me a little, darling? I'll be so good to you, understand you so well, I can make you happy, Vera --why, you're mine! I created you! You helong to me!" "If you Ba loved me--~hefore--when I was homely and necded you--or any man-- to adore me, to release me from the inhibitions that make every home- ly girl miserable--" she began jerkily. "I'm not going to lie and pretend that I fell in love with you the moment vou walked into my office," Jerry said slowly, heavily, the hand that he had kissed held tight against his pounding heart, "but I can tell you truthfully that I did begin to love you when | snatched off your spectacles and looked inte your eyes. [I didn't know it then, of course, but I had never so wanted to help anyone in my life, And I could have loved yuo as you were then as well as I do now, I performed a miracle for your own sake--" "And for advertising purposes," Vera reminded him, tugging to release her hand. "I'm an advertising man," Jerry ad- mitted simply. "My work comes first, and you wouldn't have the slightest respect for me if it didn't. 1 saw a chance to do something really big for the firm. You're a husiness woman; you ought to be able to understand my feeling toward my work." "Oh, I do!" Vee-Vee acknowledged. "But today I asked you to do some- thing for me that is of vital import- ance to me. I told you that it would cause me agonies of shame to have my picture strewn all over the coun- try to adyertise Peach Bloom Cos- metics, asked you to. suppress those ads, to substitute a professional beauty for me--a girl who would like that sort of thing--and you refused. Yet wou say you love me." ] "I "do love you, I think you know that. And when [I tried to make a bargain with you, named one condition on which I would agree to throw down the firm, you refused. I may as well tell you now that if you had accepted that condition' I would have been forced, by my own conscientious scruples, to resign from the Peach Bloom Company--" "Resign?" Vee-Vee echoed blankly. "Resign, certainly! Do you think I could accept money from the com- pany after I had thrown them down for personal motives? Oh, I could get something else easily enough! I'm one of the three best advertising men in the business! Oh, you can grin if you want to! I admit I'm no shrink- ing violet when it comes to rating my- self in a.business way. I wouldn't be on a twenty-five thousand dollar sal- ary at the age of twenty-nine if 1 were. If you had accepted my condi- tion I should have had every hope of winnig you for my wife, and of course I don't want my wife's picture smiling up at every man that thumbs through a magazine. But--don't in- terrupt please--if you are not willing to give me a chance, if you insist on keeping our relationship on a business basis, I'm going to hold you to the letter of your bargain." "You are certainly making yourself very plain," Vera told him with cold fury. "And now that you know you can't bribe me inte marrying you, you are going to keep your precious job and humiliate me--" : an "Bribe you into becoming my wife! Jerry shouted, springing to his feet. "My God! And yet you say I've made myself very plain! Haven't you sense enough to know that Jerry Macklyn wouldn't marry any woman in the world, no matter how much he loved her, if she didn't love him as much as he loved her? I love vou, Vera, and if you can't love me that's an end of the whole thing. I--I guess I'd better i be going. : "Good-by, Jerry. I don't suppose | shall see you again," Vee-Vee rose, found his hat for him and offered it unsmilingly. "I suppose that 0 pect to be married, means that you ex- Jerry retorted bit- terly. "W as "I hope I shall" Vee-Vee said simp- ly. "I-- really love him, Jerry, even if 1 have only seen him once. --_ if 1 fail, of course I shan't go back to Peach Bloom and to your office. I'm aot so utterly selfish as you think, Jerry" } She felt that she had told him good- yy forever, but she was to see him again that evening. She was settling ser things in her section of the Pull- pan car, and listeneing, with curiously apathetic ears, to her aunt's last min- ite instructions on how to play the. ove game, when Jerry Mackiyn came sharging breathlessly down the aisle.

Vera watched the two of them-- Jerry's tall broad figure with Flora's small, dainty body as close behind it as possible--hurrying down the aisle of the Pullman car, and for the second time she knew the sharp stab of jeal- ousy, ' (To Be Continued) Vee-Vee reaches Minnetonka.
