Llane accents agreeing the marriage Is to be a matter of form only. Robnrd, whose moods are changeable, asks her to break the engagement, but Llane refuses, TRESSA LORD and her sister.

MRS AMBEHTON. come to Tlslt the Cleespnughs and Tressn, who wants to marry Cllto, begins to make tronble for Linnr. She connives with a gang of blackmailers but a friendly police lieutenant, SHANE McBERMID, Interferes. At fashionable hunt ball Llane Is kidnaped to be held for ran. some.

She is rescued by McDcrmld and C'llYft. The weddinjt Is to nlace Christmas day. Just before Done on to the chnrch Tressa brings or A note 'from Bobard her to elop with him. Ltnne refuses nnd the wedding takes plnce. The eonple depart for a honeymoon in the south.

NOW GO WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXV In the drawing room Compartment Cllve put a pile of magazines and nawspapees In Llano's lap. "D'you mind If I leave you for a moment? I 'm going out on the observation platform to smoke." Sho sat turning the pages idly. A headline in one of the papers caught her eye. "Heiress Weds Newspaperman as Mother Weeps." Llano read: "Miss Murlol Ladd, debutante daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

John Fcnton Ladd of Newport and Willow Stream. Long Island, was married by special license to Mr. Charles Dceinond. feature, writer for the Evening Sphere, at Greenwich yesterday. Friends of the couple said the romance was one of long standing.

Mrs. Ladd was said to be in a state of collapse and could not see "I have cried my eyes out ever since I heard the news," ehe Is reported to have said to friends directly following receipt of news of the ceremony. Miss Ladd's engagement to Mr. Van Robard, it is said, was broken a week ago." A picture of Muriel in Tiding clothes with a crop over her knee headed this column. When Cllve returned Liane was still staring at the picture.

She had not really believed what Van had said In the note Tressa had handed to her yesterday. Was It only yesterday she had stood in the chancel of St. Simon's and repeated the words which hound her Irrevocably to Cllve? It seemed months, years ago. No, sho had not TCally believed Muriel had eloped with Chuck Desmond. But it was true.

Muriel had at last taken what she most wanted. Cllve looked over her shoulder, "She 's taken the step at last," he remarked. Llane tried desperately to be matter of fact. "I never thought she would," she told him. "Although last summer she gave every evidence of being mad about him." "This may he the making of that girl if she sticks to him." Cllve said.

"That fellow has brains. He'll make her step round. Just what she needs." Cooly he Ignored the glaring fact that Van now was free. Not that it matters to me," Liane reflected "He's no more to me now than if he'd never exlstod." She shut her eyes. "Tired?" Clive's tone was solicitous.

"No, I'm loving all this. It's the first time I've ever traveled so elegantly." "Poor kid, you've had a hard time. No more of that." They rode for a -while In silence. Clive interrupted abruptly, "You'll want to buy loads of thin things in Palm Beach. The shops will be fun for you.

That a why I didn't bother to arrange about it beforehand." He nut a check hook Into her hands. "This is yours." The deposit -lie named took her breath away. "Nonsense." His voice sounded annoyed. "I'm coming Into my inheritance, thanks to you. Mother can 't rim me anymore.

I 'd like to go out to Surabaya In the sprlnir to look over that Tuhber plantation I 'd spoken of. You'll want to be In funds, then. When we back we'll have to hunt around and find a house. Mother wants us to stay with her for a while but I'd rather not if you don't mind. I want us to have our own hut directly.

I'm better friends with Mother," he grinned wryly, "if we don't live under the same TOOL You may have noticed that." Liane smiled in sympathy. "She's sweet but she is rather overpowering. I'm a pig to say such a thing after all she's done for me." "No, you're not. Do you know she never had a companion who stayed more than two weeks before you came? She's a steam roller, Mothor is. Grand If you like 'em, but lots of people They laughed together.

Suddenly Llane voiced a thought that had occurred to her in the last few minutes. "Would you like it if I came along? To Surabaya or wherever that place is?" He flushed, looking pleased. "Of course. But 1 thought you 'd bate tho idea." "Why?" "Oh, I don 't We didn 't agree to the whither-thou-gocst-I- wlll-go idea, you remember." She laced her fingers nervously. "Just the same, I think I ought to go with you." Underneath she thought, troubled, that she would be a good wife to this man if only in form.

She would follow him faithfully. "Wo'll talk about that later." Clive pioked up a book and she sat staring at the landscape. They were traveling through farm country now with litle lights pricking through the darkness, fences blurred in the quickly Wiling snow, Llane looked troubled, young and defenseless, Her hands lay idle in her lap. Surely, she thought, it was a strange bridal trip. They talked of money, of business affairs, but never of each other.

Her mind tTembled away from reflection of what this day might have been like If she had given her pledge to Van yesterday instead of to this boy. Sho shut her eyes to banish the recollection of his stormy glance, his eyes devouring hers. No, she would not think of him now! All that was behind her. She glanced up to find Clive's blue eyes upon her. Ho withdrew his gaze instantly but she had the sensation of having looked into a room where the curtains had not yet been drawn.

His eyes had been saying something to her something what was it? There was a message there but ehe could not translate it. Troubled, she sought escape In wordR. Slio babbled to him 0 other journeys sho had made, trips with her mother's company in one night stands. She made him laugh' with anecdotes of that craiy-qullt life of hers. They were in a gale of merriment when the porter, knocking on the door, announced dinner.

"D'you mind?" Cllve asked when the man had taken the order and departed. "I'll have to "bunk. on. the couch here tonight. There wasn't a lower berth, to be had on the train although I tTled.

It'll be awkward. "Why should I mind?" She looked at him, composed as a child "Indeed, I should be nervous It you didn't stay. I'TO never traveled alone." He made an eloquent little gesture. "Look here, Clive," she cried rather sharply. "We can't make a melodrama of all this or we'll hate each other.

to be sen slble about it," "You're quite right. Thanks Tor reminding me." She had sense enough for two, he decided. What a self-possessed little thing she was. She pretended to be asleep when he came in. She snuggled down between the coarse Pullman sheets Through her lashes- she could see him, stepping softly so as not to waken her.

Ah, ehe did like his looks. She wemdered why sho had never appreciated them before. The light In Clive's corner burned long that night as he turned the pages of a book. His smile was little grim, He was remem- berlntr the conductor's significant nudge and smile. "Newlyweds," the man had whispered to his assistant.

For a long time Liane lay wide awake staring Into the dimness. She kept seeing pictures, pictures she could not quite dismiss. Herself meeting Van Robard the first time. That night at Mrs. Clees- paugh's when he had reminded her they had so much to say to each other.

Why was her mother so opposed to him always? What on earth did she know about him? She had never thought of love as a malady, something to be cured. Now she knew it was like that. Some kinds of love at least. There was no health in this feeling she had for Van Robnrd. Her throat felt dry, her gaietv withered when he was neur.

Her hands grew fevered and her heud cold. Well, it was lucky that Cllve had snatched her away from the city where he lived and had his being. Maybe If she didn't see hiui any more she would forget about him. Oh, she would try. She would do her best! Muriel's letter trailed" them south on the fifth day.

"Darling," she wrote, "weren't you thrilled to death and didn't I tell you I wouldn't lot you beat me to it? ChucK says to give you his hast but don't take that too seriously. You have a perfectly good husband of your own and I'm not allowlug any vamping, mind you. I was a grade-A vamp in my own right and 1 know tho signs. It Chuck ever gets away from me it will bev over my dead body. "Have you heard about Van? He has been appointed to some diplomatic post In tho Balkans.

Can't imagine why but he will love swanking around among the tall hats, won't Some of those princesses may nang him while we aren't looking. He was a lamb and sent me a sliver urn. an old one, for a present. I think ho goes about tho middle of next month. "Mother is still believe they call it adamant, KeepB looking through her lorgnon at Chuck's family tree.

We get a shriek out of that. We have a tiny apartment over near Turtle Bay and 1 have a wow of a part-time maid who washes dishes when she remembers to and sweeps the dust under the beds. It is fun and I like it. Come to see us when you get back or-I'll never speak to you again. My love to Clive." Liane put the letter down and looked out across the cobalt water, The shrieks of some children in charge of a starched English nursemaid on the beach broke into her reverie.

A girl in a blue bathing suit, brief and casual as a boy's, Tode an aquaplane with the grace of a humming bird. Sho re-read the words, "Ho has been appointed to some diplomatic post In the Balkans." Then, what she had been praying for was to come to pass. She would never see him again. She would put him out of her life as if he bad ndver existed. But at the thought her heart gave a sickening plunge.

Sho did to see him just once more, to hear his voice, to touch his hand, Was that too much to ask? She would treasure those memories. She would keep them in her heart until she was old. Clive came up behind her. very cool and splendid in his white flannels. "Mail from home?" She gave him the letter and he read It unsmiling.

"Muriel sounds happy, doesn't she?" "On the crest." Something in his tone touched Liane profoundly. He was staring moodily out to Bea. She sprang up, the skirt of her perfect yellow sports frock blowing in the breeze. She had a white hat crushed down on her bronze hair. In the shadow her eyes looked dark, mischievous.

"Let's go places." "All right. How about the yacht?" "I'd rather drive. Let's have tea at that Spanish place we saw yes- "Right. I'll order the car around." Old ladies watched as they swung through the beautiful courtyard. The girl, so youne and fresh and utterly charming, the man so debonair.

"Lucky, lucky youngsters," moaned the old ladies, thinking of their long dead vouth.
