RAPTURE BEYOND by KATHARINE NEWLIN BURT Eleventh Installment Fresh from a French convent, Jocelyn Harlowe returns to New York to her socially-elect mother, a religious ambitious woman. The girl is hurried into an engagement with the wealthy Felix Knt. Her father, Nick Sandal, surreptiously enters the girl's home one night. He tells her he used to call her Lynda Sandal. Lynda visits her father in his dingy quarters. She finds four men playing cards when she arrives. One of them, Jock Ayleward, her father tells her, is like a son to him, but warns the girl he is a trifter. Lynda pays a second visit to her father and Jock takes her home, on the way stopping with her at an underworld cabaret. Jock tells Lynda that Felix caused him to be sent to jail unjustly by fixing up his report on crime. Marcella finds her jewels stolen and hires a private detective, who uncovers the mysterious prowlings of Lynda without knowing who she is. Lynda suspects her father. Jocelyn decides to marry Felix quickly and preparations are made for the wedding. She asks him to tell her the combination of his safe, as a mark of his confidence in her. Armed with the combination and accompanied by Jock, Lynda enters Felix' office at night, abstracts the wanted papers from the safe and throws them down to Jock, who is waiting below. Then she is captured by the janitor and turned over to the police. Felix gets her out of jail but demands the papers she took and that she tell him where Jock can be found. She declines to do either. It's Julian's blood. My husband killed him. The police will be coming. We must hide these. Julian gave them to me. They were a gift. We were going away. They are my trust. I'll put them behind an altar. They will be an offering." She got up, holding the box against her breast, and went over to her shrine. All three of the sacred watchers let her go. They watched her food herself in behind the leather doors. It was Felix Kent who took control. "She's out of her wits," he said, "and must have a doctor." He turned to Nick whose hollow eyes had lost their malice and were distracted with terror and remorse. "I don't know who you are, but since you brought about this condition by a rather ill-advised return of missing property, you'd better be the one to go for a doctor. Bring him back here as quickly as you can. This young lady has an important engagement and must go out with me at once." "No. Felix." "Yes. I'm afraid that it's necessary. And in good time, probably thanks to Catring, I see that I'll have some help if I should be driven to needing it." He directed her gaze toward the square hall. It seemed to her scared eyes to be filled with men. At sight of them Nick went back a little toward the shining window. But Felix boldly advanced and lunged open the glass doors. "I am Felix Kent, gentlemen. I am in charge here. Mr. Catring has sent you? For an arrest? Come right in, please. I may need help." One of them did come in obediently, displaying a paper and a badge. side when I felt the luck I went to New York and introduced to the Harlowe pious of me from the star I smelled like a rank out I was one. But somehow girl. I had a good job there. It tains. But that was a sort of camp life. So I kept in the city. I'd go off to alone and come back to week-ends were gorgeous; feed a man's starved memoirs; to paint even a picture. "I had to have more money to gambling in earnest. I at the tables sometimes asked if even 'Cella.' But of course, there were when I was cleaned out and pawn or sell her treasurer's physical ill. To pay bright thing that she had seemed to wither her. He would fade. She'd go on a steel knife. "Julian Montree was a bit not in the sense that seemed to be a gentleman risk for his amusement; him home to 'Cella the wife home any other splendid beguillement." "He had an English mothather. Both, it would be connected and both dead." "A French aunt of high it would also appear, adorn his infancy and had recent him with an enormous sum American enterprise." "So—" he drew on his irony.

I must take her back at once. Telephone for the police, Mrs. Harlowe. No time to lose. Dangerous to have her here. She's stolen my papers and your jewels. She's been making use of an accidental resemblance, a remarkable one." Into Lynda's ear he whispered fiercely, even with a grim sort of amusement, "Now you can get the drift, can't you? Now you can see where you've landed? If you can't persuade your young man to give you back those papers, or if he uses them—I'll jail you both for a theft of jewels. Think, my girl, stand still. Think hard. This is the last chance you may have for clear calm thought." turn back as though against his will to look at her. She remembered another outline — noble, patient, proud. This outline of her bridegroom had no such quality. Its narrow knave face was shrunken with pale hatred, with frustrated passion, with lost vengeance. To escape that last terrible look the girl fell down before Nick Sandal and hid her face. He put his arms about her eagerly, And Felix, with the men, went out. A strange day. A strange sad evening. Marcellia had gone into the sanctuary distracted by her memories; she came out quite serene, a child whose memory is only of today and yesterday: She thought that Nick Sandal was her indulgent uncle and Jocelyn a friend to love. They sent for a psychiatrist who promptly ordered her taken to a sanitarium. He directed her gaze toward the square hall. It seemed to her scared eyes to be filled with men. At sight of them Nick went back a little toward the shining window. But Felix boldly advanced and opened the glass doors. "I am Felix Kent, gentlemen. I am in charge here. Mr. Catring has sent you? For an arrest? Come right in, please. I may need help." One of them did come in obediently, displaying a paper and a badge. "You are Felix Kent. You're the man we're looking for then. A summons from Chicago. They want to see you out there about some—evidence. An old case. Will you come with us now, and quietly, please." In that square entrance hall after they had closed the tall glass doors Jocelyn saw him, standing among them, "So—he drew on his irony. His eyes and moustache now at the insufferable 'So my wife and my friend' orial fashion became loved all the Pantaloons whose furnished the world with things. I did not suspect that you've seen those jewels?" She sat up straight, staring sharpness of this sudden "Yes.".

His capital, you see advance-legacy he boasted was really all her own for had in the world and she hit it to him. He was supported her treasure to America and of it, for her, to the best vantage. He was, I imagine commission on the sale." Painfully he rose. "This is rotten for you! I get it over. Your mother and thought him a better man. And so again in the immemorial Pantaloon, some instinct husband awake and back expectedly to his little gold house. Moonlight, I reminisce summer. But they were not night. And everything The jewels lay between the table." "I said what Pantaloon Julian was not patient until I struck him. He was so would have shot me, Lynda left him and he began to would have shot me. I was in those days and I got the from him and I killed him." "Nick, what did they do?" "Arrested me of course that and the other thing we done I was tried and convicted slaughter and sent to print your lifetime, Lynda. Then the gun had been Julian from a more terminating "But, Nick, he was your and I read that—" "I couldn't work that gale because, you see, if once 'C brought into it as Montreal' have been involved in the They were all this while the jewels." (Continued Next W) Into Lynda's ear he whispered fiercely, even with a grim sort of amusement, "Now you can get the drift, can't you? Now you can see where you've landed? If you can't persuade your young man to give you back those papers, or if he uses them—I'll jail you both for a theft of jewels. Think, my girl, stand still. Think hard. This is the last chance you may have for clear calm thought." She stood there in fact quite still, thinking. And behind her, in the room all filled with her own bridal flowers and gifts, her mother, wild-eyed and shaking, sat down as she was bidden to ring for the police. Mary, who had answered another summons at the front door, came in. "Mrs. Harlowe, there's a man—" "I'ts Catring. Bring him in," and as Mary began to speak again Marcella bent down again to the phone and set her long index finger into the dial. Her shoulder was turned toward the French doors while Felix, Lynda in his arms, stood carefully with his back to them; so no one, not even Mary who had withdrawn at once in some offense, saw the man who was supposed to be Catring as he came in to the room. He came slowly, painfully, progressing from door to sofa and along it, using its back for his support until he came up to Marcella and touched her elbow. And as she looked up he laid a leather box upon her knees. "I have brought a wedding present for my daughter," announced Nick Sandal purrily. It was Marcella's terrible low cry that procured Jocelyn her release. The cry had so little of the human in it that Felix leaped and wheeled, forgetting everything but some uncanny instinctive fear of beasts. Marcella had bent down close over the opened box and was looking at her jewels. "They're all here," she touched them with her fingers, "but they're wet." She trembled and her teeth chattered. "That's Julian's blood." Jocelyn knelt before that terrible figure. "Mother, don't. There's no blood, Mother, please look up." "Touch them yourself, dear. Put your hand on them. You feel that? To escape that last terrific look the girl fell down before Nick Sandal and hid her face. He put his arms about her eagerly. And Felix, with the men, went out. A strange day. A strange sad evening. Marcella had gone into the sanctuary distracted by her memories; she came out quite serene, a child whose memory is only of today and yesterday. She thought that Nick Sandal was her indulgent uncle and Jocelyn a friend to love. They sent for a psychiatrist who promptly ordered her taken to a sanitarium. She hardly knew that Dr. Bond had left until Nick spoke to her: "Come over here. Lynda. Are you too tired?" He was seated on the small brocade sofa, curled up there painfully as she had seen him on the sofa in his shabby room. "I'm not tired. I'm afraid." "Araraid?" He winced, his syllolen fingers paused in their task of filling his pipe. "Of me, dear?" "Of what you are going to tell me, Nick." "You'd rather I'd be quiet? Let it all go? You'd rather never know the truth?" "I'd rather . . . but of course I must listen. It's too late now. I'll listen. Nick. Only, do you love me?" To my regret. It’s because I was fool enough to let you trick me with those confounded eyes and ways of yours—those darling eyes and ways—yes, trick me into loving you that I've done what I have done . . . and been the blasted fool I have been lately." "Lately?" "You think it's not such a recent development? Well it has been. Jack's been living—lately—with a sort of maniac. I've been . . . jealous. I've wanted you to myself. It was you I was trying to steal, when I came in on that wet night and took the jewels. There now. Go back to your seat. I've got a penance to go through with now, Lynda." "I met your mother in a California cafe, San Francisco. She was making the American grand tour. She got separated from her party, lost her chaperon. A man insulted her. I knocked him down. She let me take her back to her hotel! That's the way it began. In those days I was a mining engineer. I gambled a little on the Women Hold Court At U.S.C.M.

Santa Ana Endorses Tree-Planting Drive Santa Ana begins an extensive tree-planting campaign March 21 as a result of that city's board of trustee's action last week in approving an ordinance drafted by the planning commission. The campaign actually began on Washington's birthday, however, with planting of two Australian flame trees at the intersection of Main street and Santa Ana boulevard. The city has 1800 trees in the city nursery of which 1,000, enough for 50 city blocks, are large enough for 1932 planting. One of the chief reasons for adopting the tree-planting campaign, Santa Ana council officials stated, aside from beautifying the city, was to provide constructive work for unemployed.
