" What <lo you think 1 ought to do and why ought I to do anything?" asked Cleveland Brown --lowly. "Cleveland, 1 believe you're a good boy You ju<t don't know. You may have been brought up with a different standard. But where 1 ionic from, your actions couldn't mean hut one thing. Perhaps you don't know that you've compromised Janice. That word's out of date, but 1 don't hold with the new ideas "Oil, it was all my fault. That's what make it so terrible. I haven't been fair to my little girl, 1 haven't protected her the way I should have, in this business. I always saw just one end. I always thought you loved Janice and meant in time to marry her. You were so devoted to her. It seemed so ri^ht and fitting. You never went with any other girl. I — I wanted her to marry you. Any mother would, and I thought in letting you be together so much I was taking the best way to bring it about. Don't you see what a position it puts Janice in?" THE man opposite looked straight into her eyes, because he desired to be very fair and because he was not thinking of himself nor of her, but of little Janice, dear, little, old Janice, who had always been his pal. Incidentally, Mrs. Reed had impres>ed him with a sincerity and a real suffering for which he had not been prepared. " No," he said, "I don't. I thought nowadays it was permisMble for a girl and a man to be friends. Janice is my leading woman. \Yc had to be together a lot. I never mentioned marriage to Janice and I never made love to her." "Maybe not in so many words," said Janice's mother, " but you did in the only way I thought you knew. You took her everywhere. You were always patting her and pulling her hair and putting your arm about her. AYhen the newspapers printed it, you just grinned, and when people kidded you. you just smiled and kidded back. Y'ou always acted as if she belonged to you. People took it for granted. They paired you off. Y'ou were always here. I knew Janice loved you with all her heart and soul and I thought you loved her. Everyone did. It — it was as good as settled and now — " she broke down and began to weep again. "Please don't do that," said Cleveland Brown, in great distress. "This can all be straightened out. Janice will only want what's best for everyone." "Oh, Janice. She's such a fool. She'd kill me, I believe, if she knew I talked like this to you. She'd never say a word for herself. She's so proud, like her father. She wouldn't make one move, though I showed her lots of times how she could bring things to a climax. Rut now that everyone's talking, I know it hurts her. The girls snub her and laugh at her and tease her because you threw her over." "Oh, no, no," said Cleveland Brown hotly. "Oh yes, but they do. People smile and say: 'Janice Reed, the girl Cleveland Brown was going to marry.' The girls used to toady to Janice, because she was going to be Mrs. Cleveland Brown.
