I've seen you coming and going and didn't know whether it was any fun for you or not Get your candy?" "Oh, jt was wonderful, Mr. Coates." "Not your first box of candy, I suppose?" Cherry was too di2zy to know what she said by the way of reply. She tried to make it grateful. But merely talking to him confused her. The lost evening was suddenly aglow with color and light. She was to have her moment after all! In her agitation she said exactly what she would have wished not to say. Swallowing hard and with a nervous, quick laugh, she asked, "Didn't . . . didn't Mrs. Marsh-bank- s look lovely tonight?" For a minute his expression was so odd that she was terrified. He didn't like her saying that! Then he said briefly. "Lovely." Blundering on, in spite of a feeling that he would not like to talk about her. Cherry said, "I used to think she was almost well, homely. But when you know her face you see that she's beauti-ful!" He had folded his arms, in a fa-vorite gesture of his. and was look-ing at her seriously. "Fran," he said simply. But the word 'brimmed with some secret magic for him, and she felt its ech-oes reach her, and was chilled. "The Randalls are taking her home," he added. "I've got to be on my way back to Sausalito. But you what kind of time have you had?" he asked after a moment. "Rotten," she said, suddenly hun-gry for his sympathy and under-standing. It was unwise, it was im-pulsive, she knew it, even as the ground slipped away from beneath her feet. "I hate tjiat Amy!" she said. "That is, I don't hate her," she amended it, "but sl)e treats me as if I wasn't there didn't count." "I suppose so," he conceded with a thoughtful look. "Give it time," he went on, with a little stress on the last words, "give it time. You'll leave Amy behind you some day, and then this will all seem very small-gir- l stuff. Patience, Cherry." His use of her name, his serious consideration for her out-bursts destroyed the last shred of her reticence. She was tired, ex- - THE STORY SO PAR: An orphan since the ace of aeven, charlotte (Cherry) Rawlins's knows almost nothing about her early history. Judge Judson Marsr banks, her with Emma Has-kell, arranges for her to leave Saint Dorothea's, and teUs ber that Emma has obtained for ber a secretarial position with the wealthy Mrs. Porteous Porter, of San Francisco, where Emma is house-keeper. She Is first to go Co the Marsh-bank- s mansion. When she arrives she dines alone wltb the Judge as Fran, bis young wife, and his niece, Amy, are din-ing oat. KeUy Coates, an artist, drops In and Cherry feels Ul at ease In her convent clothes. Cherry becomes bitter when she overhears Fran and Amy make laughing reference to her and her clothes. Her surroundings are luxurious when she takes up her Job with old Mrs. Porter, but after several weeks she finds life al-most monotonous. Now continue with the story. CHAPTER V So Emma and Ferny propped her up comfortably and arranged the lights becomingly, and were barely finished as the clock struck the half-hou- r after seven, when Dorothy and her mother came in to preen them-selves under the old lady's approv-ing eyes; to admire her and be praised themselves. And in another half-ho- three or four mothers were there, and quite a little re-ception was going on in the up-stairs sitting room. At Cherry's suggestion the arriving guests were to be sent upstairs in detachments; she went below at half-pa- eight to find sixty of them milling about enjoying a succession of cocktails, and was reminded of old days at Saint Dorothea's and school theatri-cals as she sent them up in parties of six. Unexpectedly, Cherry found Amy Marshbanks in the center of an ad-miring circle, and hated herself for the wretched little prick of jealousy that rose even through her new-found sense of ease and power. She looked for Fran and Kelly Coates, but they were evidently coming lat-er; they were not in sight. When the time came for her to say to Amy that if she would please would any four of them go up-stairs and say good evening to Mrs. Porter, Amy stared at her amused-ly, entirely without recognition, and said in an undertone to an adoring boy beside her; "What's the big idea? Is Nursey telling us to say we had a nice time?" There was a small library known as "the den" tucked away under the wide turn of the stairway. The door into the hall was open, but when Cherry approached it to an-swer the telephone in the hall near iV she had no idea that anyone was-i-the room. The voice on the telephone was that of an agitated gentleman who was bringing a lady up from and had had the misfortune to break a spring while driving. They had sent for a taxi. Cherry's eyes moved" absently to the open door of the den, and rested incuriously upon a pair of satin slip-pers that in their turn were resting upon one of the tasseled taborets that stood before the fire. The wearer of these slippers, who-ever she was. was sunk so deep in a great chair in the comfortable po-sition she had assumed her heels were at least as high as her head. The firelight twinkled on the slip-pers and on the swirl of her ver-milion velvet gown; she was evi-dently whispering, for Cherry heard no words distinctly. Cherry went upstairs with tier message that Miss Trotter and Mr. Buddy Brown would be a little late, to find the detachments coming and going .between the downstairs rooms and Mrs Porter's apart-ments, and any serious considera-tion of dinner as far removed as ever. Emma said with her usuai air of stern but repressed annoyance that this would never do, and just as the delayed couple arrived from Hills-borough, at twenty-tw- o minutes past nine, the eight-o'cloc- k dinner began to take shape and form, guests straggled toward the tables and looked for name cards, and wait-ers began to serve smoking cups of madrilene. It was at this moment mat the couple whose privacy she had ob-served sauntered from the den. Cherry, halfway up the stairs to find Keno and ask the little Japa-nese maid to keep an eye open for a lost evening bag of silver and amethysts, happened to see them come out. She paused on the stairs to watch them make their leisurely way toward the dining room. They stopped once in the lower hall, the man speaking earnestly, the woman listening with a bent head, giving him only an occasional swift upward glance. Kelly and Fran. Kelly and Fran. The sight made Cherry feel first a little weak, and then heartsick. They had come supposedly to keep an eye on the younger crowd, to help with the party. They had real-ly come to seize an opportunity of being alone and unobserved togeth-er. Of course! Of course! All her bright, vague hopes for what this evening might bring were destroyed instantly. Everything was a dull and dreary blank now; Cher-ry hated every detail of the party, dragged herself through the next hour or two by sheer force of will. There was plenty for her to do, for the cocktail hour had been a time of great confusion, and the downstairs rooms were a scene of wild disorder. During this busy, hurried time, messages were constantly coming downstairs from Mrs. Porter, up to whose room Cherry ran a dozen times. Her employer wanted bland-ly to know if everything was going nicely, was enthusiastic as to her own share of the festivities and would like another cup of that de-licious madrilene. Ming Wo so rare-ly made madrilene and she had al-ways been so fond of it! The dinner party had progressed to the breast of milk-fe- d chicken with Virginia ham and mushrooms and to procure another cup of the. soup was like returning to some event of the dim past When that was accomplished, Mrs. Porter was delicately picking at some rich con-coction of crab meat and allowed the soup to cool untouched. Bridge and backgammon nad been set out in one of the parlors now; the orchestra concealed behind the inevitable palms was playing pro-vocative dance music. Couples were leaving- the din-ing room to dance for a few min-utes. were returning to play absently with alligator-pea- r or frozen pud-ding. Cherry looked into the upstairs bedroom to find Alma and Hatty deep in a muttered conversation. "They're doin nothin' but makin' fun of the old lady," said Hatty. "Her champagne's good enough for them,--. and her dinner's good enough for them, but 'Oh, ain't she a scream,' and 'Ain't this a queer old vault!' and 'Lord, my dear, you let me .into this; I never would have come.' " "An' they says, 'How early can we get out and go somewhere and dance?' " added Alma. Cherry was the more disturbed to hear the maids' views because they confirmed an uneasy and ashamed impression of her own. An impression that the Battery and kisses that went on in Mrs. Por-ter's room were not sincere, that behind the old lady's back there were patiently resigned sighs and shrugs, and a good deal of the rais-ing of amused and contemptuous eyebrows. Mrs. Porter's dinner dance for the debutantes would be long remembered, but not with the gratitude she imagined. The words "horror" and "awful" and "lousy" and "just about the limit!" would be used more often than more com-plimentary terms. Cherry felt a sudden rush of resentment, of pity for her employer. Stepping back into the hall, and going to look down at the lower floor, to see if the dinner was about over, Cherry was shocked suddenly to hear the sound of sobbing. Who was crying? It came from Dorothy's room. Cherry went softly toward it, and as the door stood open a crack, she pushed it further open and went in. Dorothy, her party frock crushed into stringy limpness, was lying across the bed crying bitterly. She had a chiffon handkerchief pounded into a wet ball in her hand, and was digging at her eyes with it. and snuffling and sobbing like a heart-broken child of three. The endless evening dragged its way to midnight, and the guests be-gan to disperse. Mrs. Porter, when they came in to say their good-bye-protested kindlyy It was early yet! Why, when she was a girl they had often danced right into the morning! But the pretty girls and the hoarse, polite young men were firm. Some of the boys were working, they ex-plained; they had to keep early of-fice hours. By twos and fours they dwindled away. Cherry knew that they were all going off somewhere else to dance. She heard them promise one another to meet later. She heard them laugh-ing at their evening's entertainment, and their "Whews!" of relief as they disappeared into the darkness out-side the front door. The whole thing had been ridiculous and a fail-ure, she decided, going downstairs for the twentieth time that evening to see if the bridge players were still at their game. Fran was playing hard. Two oth-er tables were deserted, Uttered with cigarette ashes and chocolate frills, scribbled scores and torn paper. She was returning upstairs again for the purpose of asking Emma if she could stay up to put out lights, when Kelly Coates came down stairs, met her halfway, smiled at her and arrested her with a hand on her arm. "Sit down here a minute," he said, immediately seating himself cited, jealous, lonely; she wanted somehow to hold him, and blindly reached for whatever claim upon his interest she could find. "No matter what I did," she said, looking down shyly and fingering the ornamental end of one of the brass rods that held the stair carpet in place, "no matter what I did I would never matter to you, I know that! You'd never think of me as any-thing but a girl from Saint Doro-thea's who didn't count you'd go on falling in love with Mrs. Marsh-bank- s of course," Cherry floun-dered on wretchedly. "I know I'll never be like that dressed that way and playing bridge and all; she's been in Europe but if I had clothes and money if my husband was as wonderful as Judge Marshbanks I couldn't I know I couldn't ..." She stopped in a terrifying si-lence. She could not raise her eyes. As Kelly got to bis feet she rose too, but still she could not look at him. "I'm sorry," she said thickly, when she could not bear it an in-stant longer. "Well!" the man said dryly, on a surprised breath, as she came to a horrified and frightened pause. And forcing herself at last to meet his eyes, Cherry saw that he was smil-ing- , in a sort of annoyed indulgence, as one might smile at a forward child. At the look her soul died within her. Those eyes could never again hold anything but contempt and dislike for her. Presently with a nod and a quiet "Good night" he left her, descended the stairs. Then the front door closed and he was gone. For the first time in her life, Cher-ry spent an entirely wakeful' Her wearied mind night thrashed ovei and over again the last episode oi the party; her weary body twisted and struggled in a physical misery that matched the torture in her soul.

Beetles With Headlights Large beetles with headlights are included in nature's strange assortment of creatures in Central America and northern South America. Department of agriculture ento-mologists who have found the young of these beetles valuable be-cause they eat white grubs which seriously damage sugar cane say the beetles are so luminous that one in a dark room will give enough light for reading a news-paper. The insect's headlights are on the top forepart of its body and consist of two luminous spots. There is, however, another lumi-nous area on the under side of the beetle which is exposed when the beetle flies and which throws a brilliant spot of light on the ground.
