BEGIN HERE TODAY
PALL I King of Northumbr*
becomes private citizen PAUL
FERRONE when he surrenders hi*
throne and marries ARDATH
RICHMOND. Canadian-born ac-
tress. Paul's younger brother.
JOSEPH succeeds to the king-
ship.
Paul and Ardath ehoose a villa
on the Bay St. Francis; for a
few days their life In glorious.
Then the eyes of the world And
them pry in deep. Paul goes Into
seclusion sick at heart.
Their only companions In this
resort town off Nan Lorenzo are
the vaeuous COl'NTESS DI MAR-
CO. her playboy friend. REGGIE
VAN TWINE and MRN. VAN
TW YNE. Paul and Ardath follow
the casino crowds but It becomes
a boring affair.
Paul meanwhile meets his old
tutor. DK. non HERN archeologist.
The doctor urges Paul to get
a hold on himself to do some-
thing. Paul and Ardath begin n
European tour end up la Paris.
Thry attend a party at the home
of DI C DE MONTMIRAL. Intellec-
tual and patron of the arts. A
guest not knowing Paul opens
the conversation about exiled
kings and slurs Ardath. Enraged.
Paul knocks him down Ands the
man Is a Parla columnist. The Due
warns Paul all Paris will hear of
the encounter.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER VI
fPHE gloomy prediction of the
Due de Montmiral proved
quite correct. Before a week had
passed all of Paris was reading
that the former King Paul of
Northumbra had knocked down
the novelist Raoul Bayard in a
brawl at the home of a distin-
guished Parisian patron of the
arts.
Some morbid instinct for seif-
punishment led Paul to collect the
Parisian journals and read the ac-
counts of the affair—accounts
which in the repeating were gro-
tesquely distorted. He looked at
them in his hotel room with a
rueful smile on his Ups.
“Don’t dear.” begged Ardath.
“You hurt yourself when you
don’t need to. What does it mat-
ter after all what those things
say°”
“Very little I suppose.” said
Paul. “And yet—look at this
one.” He held up an article for
her to read.
“That the runaway king should
fight is neither surprising nor
disturbing” said this article.
“What is surprising is that he
should have been a guest in the
house of the Due de Montmiral
where the encounter took place.
That house is France’s most dis-
tinguished salon; there one may
meet artists scientists musicians
creative folk who are far removed
from the thoughtless crowd that
infests the lovely Bay St. Francis.
What one asks was this self-
deposed monarch doing in that
company ? It is far more startling
to learn that the distinguished pa-
tron would have him as a guest
than to learn—”
Ardath threw it on the floor.
“I won’t read it” she cried. “It’s
cruel—cruel—and so unjust! What
do they know of you anyway?”
Paul stood up.
“They know what I have shown
them I suppose” he said. “After
all my dear people are very often
judged by the company they keep.
And I—”
“Oh?" The color drained from
her face. “And you have been
j . . . have been with me constant-
ly and my name is a byword
| and—”
• • •
fY darling!” He was at her
1 A side instantly his arms
around her. “Ardath my love
my life don’t say that. You
know I didn't mean that. You
are all I have and all I ever hope
to have. You—”
She put her fingers on his lips
and looked up hurt and serious.
“I know you didn’t mean it”1
she said gently. “But it’s true.
These people whom everyone sud-
denly seems to find so—so dis-
tasteful are my people after all.
They’re my friends the friends
I’ve always had. I’m a part of
that set. I have brought this on
you. Oh Paul Paul my darling
what am I doing to you?”
He held her close.
“You are doing nothing to me”
he said “except make my life
free. The rest—it doesn’t mat-
ter after all. The world at large
may think what it pleases. I have
you and that’s enough. It’s ev-
erything.”
Yet it was not shrugged off
quite as simply as that. A shad-
ow had fallen across them and
it was a shadow that would not
be talked out of existence. It
was the shadow perhaps of a
j throne that had been given up.
1 a shadow that no magic could
| ever dispel but that would remain
forever never quite forgotten to
chill even the flame of love itself.
They left Paris and went back
to the villa San Margarete. Win-
ter on the Bay St. Francis was as
benign as summer. The blue wa-
ter held just a little more chill
perhaps the dawn light was just
a little colder and less balmy than
in the summer: but the afternoon
sunlight was still a warm blanket
beneath which one could drowse
the day away and the evenings
were languorous under the rich
blue sub-tropical sky.
But an increasing restlessness
was on Paul; a restlessness that
made even the warm sunlight the
exquisite loveliness of the sea and
the unfailing softness of the bay’s
famous breeze from the south
seem cloying and over-sweet. And
he brought it all out or tried to
one evening.
Ardath was in her dressing
room dressing for an entertain-
ment to which they were about to
go. Paul sat on a chaise longue
lighted a cigaret smoked mood
ily for a moment and then said
“Dearest what do you say we
chuck it all?"
“Chuck it?” she repeated. Star-
tled she turned to look at him;
in her left hand she still held up
the hand mirror in which she had
been inspecting some detail or
other of her make-up. “Chuck
it? You mean—our life with each
other?”
“Sweetheart! No! No—I mean
this . . . this life here on the
bay. How would it be if we up-
rooted ourselves and went—went
somewhere and made a fresh
start?”
She laid the mirror down. Her
face had grown pale at his first
words; now the blood returned to
it again.
“Where would you go?” she
asked. “What would you do?”
"Oh—” Paul hesitated. “I’d get
clear away from this place and—
and all of these people. I’d—”
He stopped and very painstak-
ingly tamped his cigaret butt in
an ashtray.
• • •
“DO you know what I’ve al-
^ ways half-wanted to do?”
he went on at last. ‘Tve always
thought I might like to live—•”
he looked at her doubtfully then
continued—“to live on a ranch.
In Canada perhaps or the west-
ern United States or even in the
Argentine.”
She said. “A ranch?”
"Yes. Please don’t laugh dear-
•>
“I’m not.”
She got up and came over to
him. She sat beside him and
tenderly put her arms around
him.
“Paul my dearest boy my
sweetheart" she said softly “are
you as bored as all that with me?
Is life here so unendurable that
you must dream a dream like
that?
“Love love—remember Tve
seen America. I’ve seen those
ranches at close range. Those
plains are wide and they’re lone-
ly. The winters are cruel and the
summers are scorching; they hit
you with dust storms and torna-
does and drought and plagues of
grasshoppers—”
• • •
CHE broke off and stroked Ms
^ cheek gently.
“Tell me dear boy” she was
saying taking his face between
her palms "has it been a bad bar-
gain for you’’”
“No no dear one" he cried
suddenly tightening his arms
about her. “Oh my darling my
angel—no!”
But as their lips came together
they felt across them unbidden
and unadmitted the shadow of the
| lost throne.

Another Question
About CARDUI
MOTHERS RECOMMEND IT
• Why do so many MOTHERS rec-
ommend Cardui to their daughters?”
Isn't it but natural that any good
mother should tell her daughters
about Cardui if the mother herself
felt that she had been benefited by
this medicine?
It is lmpresive that so many wo-
men report having taken Cardui on
*he advice of their mothers.
Cardui has been found to benefit
women when weakened by malnu-
trition 'poor nourishment); and it
helps to relieve much discomfort at
monthly periods
Thousands of women testify Car-
dui helped them. Of course if it
does not help you. consult a physi-
