"Not unless he asks me to." "If he doesn't ask you to," exclaimed Mr. Crelghton, "he's I think so too. But "Yes, Isn't he though I'd never marry a man that hadn't proposed to me, If I never got married, that question need not engage us, Cousin Crelghton, because I'm not going to fall at Ilollywood!" 1 a" It was a few days later that Marvin Crelghton, one evening after dinner, standing In front of the library fire, looked down reflectively over his yself" "St Croix, shall I tell you how Impossible it would be to me to marry you 7 Just as Impossible as it would be for you to marry that poor Meely Schwenckton I" St Croix recoiled for he knew when she said that that he was beaten. It was the first time in all his life that he had been humiliated. And by a girl I CHAPTER XI Mr. Crelghton, senior, after the first shock and embarrassment of discovering the identity of his wife's relative. Lady Sylvia St. Croix, with the teacher, Miss Schwenckton, whom he had lgnomlniously bribed to abandon his son when it was his dearest wish that Bhe should marry him, regarded the episode with vast amusement; Mrs. Crelghton and Sylvia liked each other on sight; Marvin accepted the confirmation of his suspicions with outward calm, but inward delirium; but St. Croix, almost as soon as he had delivered the girl over to his mother, had escaped from his own devastating situation by fleeing to Florida on the pretext of looking Into his father's Interests there. As these Interests were not so pressing as to necessitate his leaving borne at this crucial time, his action could be interpreted by his family In only one way Sylvia must have given him to understand quite unequivocally that he, the younger son, was not an acceptable substitute for his elder brother even though the elder had long since flatly refused to so much as consider the question of marrying her. Mr. Crelghton could now only hope that the apprehensions he had suffered lest Marvin bad fallen a prey to the charms of the teacher of William Penn school were Indeed well founded. The very morning after her arrival she asked "Cousin Crelghton" to let her have a talk with him alone. Shut up with him In his study, the revelation she there made to him of her ambition and determination to exploit herself at Ilollywood came to him as a blow. "The only way you could stop me. Cousin Crelghton," she answered his arguments against her plan, with sympathy in her tone for bis manifest dejection, "would be to take back your money what's left of It" She pushed toward blm on the table between them a pile of bills a pensive in the lovely eyes she raised to his. "I can't go, of course, without your money." "And If you can't go, what then? Will you," he asked hopefully, "then marry one of my sons?" "If I said yes to that" she replied In alarm, drawing back the Mils, "you'd take back your money I No, If I can't go with your money, I'll earn the money. And If you won't give me a Job at mining, I warn you 111 turn evangelist I I've heard there's money la that I'd make piles, for I'd be a new American sensation an English titled woman prancing and ranting over your broad land as a !

"Don't wish It on me please! If I fall, I'll come back and marry any of your sons that want me. Only I draw the line at 8t Croix. I couldn't" she abook her head, "marry St Croix." "Why7" asked Crelchtnn testily, wounded in his paternal pride. "First, because I'm not In love with film. Then I think a girl owes It to her children to pick out a g'"d father for them and St Croix strikes rue as too self absorbed to make a success-fo- l onfcbnnd and father.

"Our sort of love, Sylvia, is bo rare (or so It teems to me) that It's an tfwful pity, don't you think, to let It go by us even for the sake of a brilliant career?" "Go by you, you mean?" she sweetly Inquired ; "for I didn't say I was in love with any one In particular." "I said, didn't L that we were mates? I'm your mate, too, if you only knew It as much as you're minel" "When did you begin to feel that way?" she asked with a bright Interest, her eyes shining up Into his with rather a feverish excitement "From the first day I met you In your school ! I couldn't keep off you ! You had me in the hollow of yoUr hand !" "Oh, gee, I didn't know it! And, Marvin I I've got to hold on to j myself like anything or you'd have me in the hollow of your dear hand and I don't want to be In any one's hands not even In your strong and tender ones ! for I want to act !" "I've seen you with those school children I think your bigger career, Sylvia, lies in your having a brood of your own I don't shock you, child, do I?" "Well, yes, when you suggest a whole 'brood'! I think that's too many! I wish,'' sighed Sylvia, "I could have babies and a career, too. If I Insisted on that would you Jilt me?" "But, dear child, I can't live In California. Not even In New York. My work will always be here. And what kind of a marriage would that be you In California and I In Pennsylvania?" "You wouldn't give up your work for marriage; why should I? What Is going to become of marriage when women's professions become as Important and as inevitable to them as a man's Is to him? I wonder!" "Do you really think, Sylvia, that being a screen actress Is as big a thing as rearing children?" "It would depend, I should say, upon the sort of children you rear. I'd consider it an awful waste of life to bring up most of the people one knows!" "But you and I. Sylvia," said Marvin solemnly, "might get some satisfaction from bringing np a family of well, honest fearless prophets of a new gospel " "Oh, come, Marvin,, let's give them a chance to be themselves 1" "That's what I want them to be! So few of us are ever ourselves! We're forced into a mold that's quite unlike our real selves! Let's rear a family that shall be a nucleus to start something " "But it's so dangerous, these days, to start anything" "Let them start the 'good-wito men' era. It's about due. If humanity Is to survive, don't you think? Well, what do you say? Shall we?" "This Is the queerest proposal I ever had !" "Well. I can't seem to do anything, even propose to a girl, according to truth-seeker- s, ll "Is This a Proposal, Marvin?" folded arms upon bis radiant young cousin who reclined lazily and with a maddening grace on the big coucb that stood before the fireplace. "It's Incredible utterly Incredible 1" he voiced his reflections. isn't it? everything! But "Yes, what in particular were you referring to?" "That you sitting there in front you ! are the girl I said I wouldn't marry! Why didn't some one suggest that I cross to England and look you over first?" "rrobably because they were all too sensible to think you'd pay any attention to such a good suggestion. And If you had, you'd probably have found me flown from home to elude you." "You see, you were offered to me," he explained, "like a mark-dowat Woolworth's! Too cheap an article. It seemed to me, to take as a wife seeing I did have a few dreams of fair women that were not so purchasable! And now. If I'm correctly Informed as to 'the fury of a woman scorned,' there can't be the least hope for me can there, Sylvia?" "Is this a proposal, Marvin?" "Well, I'm not sure It Is. I'm not so conceited as to think my worth to you could measure up to the worth of a career for which you are highly talented! So I don't think I am proposing. I don't believe I Intend to If I have any Influence with myself." "Let's be engaged. Marvin, until 1 see how I make out at Hollywood. If I succeed, then no wedding bells for Meely and you'll have to Jilt me again!" "If only," he fetched a deep breath, "you hadn't that fatal talent I For we're mates, Sylvia, It's written I believe, you know, In the heavens! that you and I are mates In the real and lasting sense for It's you I love, sweet child, not Just your epidermis, lovely as It Is " of me n Friday, May 18, 1928 NEPHI.

If you ask the police, probation officers, matrons of Jefferson Market Women's prison and others connected with that institution how it came about, they will undoubtedly tell you it was because girls' aud boys' haircuts these days are so much alike. Anyhow, for three days a cell In the prison held one who was accepted as sixteen-year-olJenetta Sheridan, runaway from Montreal. Jenetta had been found in a basement apartment with three men. x Detectives dropped In slid took the men away on a robbery charge. They didn't . quite believe Jenetta's story that she didn't know her companions and merely lived at the same address "with another girl." So they took her to Jefferson Market prison as a wayward minor. Jenetta was tastefully garbed in a short high collared black satin dress, green coat red turban, brown gloves, sheer white stockings, and high heeled satin pumns. This costume, It developed later, was Intended as a mas"Peaches" querade representing Browning. Jenetta had confided to a probation officer that her mother did not live in Montreal at all, but In Brooklyn, so the mother, Mrs. Lyde Gude, was summoned to court When Jenetta's case was colled, Mrs. Gude took a long look at the unfamiliar figure and exclaimed : "I have no daughter.

He took Jenetta, who stood revealed as Edward Schlesslnger, eighteen, Mrs. Gude, and the probation officer Into his chambers. After satisfying himself the prisoner was a boy he suspended sentence. The youth and his friend, Edward Walters, went to a masquerade In Harlem as "Peaches" and "Daddy," according to the story he told. They won second prize with the costumes, he said.
