Doris Rankins Rankin's orce was not speedily followed by her marriage to a man of talent and wealth who had for a long time seemed interested in her artistic future Also they wondered how long it would be before be before fore foro Lionel Barrymore would be abl to claim Irene Fenwick for his bride a Tho The interest which Mr Barrymore an Miss Fenwick had bad shown in each other both when they were playing in th H i same company and when they were not had long been a 1 matter of comment Buli y Miss Fenwick everybody ase as knew wa 4 y L the wife of James OBrien O'Brien gy According to the

husbands husband's heart had strayed from her to her sister of the stage For this and another even more impelling reason she is said sald to have felt it nothing less than her duty to secure a divorce But Dor Doris 3 Rankin could not forget the years of happiness she had enjoyed with Ith Lionel Llonel Barrymore when their hearts belonged solely to each other Sh She was so interested in his future it lt IS said sald that she could not bear to think of claiming a new love mate until her former for for- former for former mer husband had one too Irene renwick Fenwick and her husband huband had drifted dr ted so far apart that everybody thought they would have been divorced long before this But Mr OBrian O'Brian for some reason renson seemed to prefer letting things go on as they were and his s wife looked in vain for a way out of the SIt SIt- sit situation So matters stood with at least two other aching hearts in the background when the Fate that straightens out tan tan- tangled tan lan tangled love affairs like these or makes a worse mess of took them them took her stand be- be belde beside be beside side a certain bookkeeper in a Fifth Avenue jewelry store Both Mr OBrien

I 1 This is how it happened that Irene Fenwick gave a gasp of surprise when her eyes caught sight of the total of the bill which the first of tho the following month brought from the jewelry firm The repairing of her wrist watch the resetting ofa of a stone in a 1 ling ing these items were entirely correct but the other expensive purchases that made the greater part of the bills bill's total why
