"Jean, don't you want to get well, tie 'asked abruptly, "You had a bad night, the nurse tells me=-no sleep, and you're running a termperature this morning, Can't you tell me what is the matter?" Jean shook her head, She had ne answer for Dr, Dowling, The doctor appealed to Grage for help, but she was quite as much in the dark as himself, As for William A. Decker, Lie was veilizing for the first time Just how mueh he had come to depend on ean. Nothing seemed to go right in the offieg with her away, He visited her mpatiemiy onee every day and usually just berore dinner, and each day he begged her to hurry and get back to work, " "Joan they're ruining my disposi ton" he told her one afternoon a month after the neeldent, "If you don't get back soon I'll have to take a rest eure, Nobody seems to have the slightest idea of what I want done and 1 can never remember to take my medicine! Dr, Drefus Is furious with me!" Tt was the following afternoon that the girl who was taking Jean's place came tinidly into his. office, ! "There Is & young woman outside who won't leave until she has seen you," the girl said helplessly, "Who {8 shel!" demanded Decker irvitatedly, "She won't give her name, but she is handsomely dressed=-sables and a veal pearl necklagd" : Decker moved his head impatiently It was unbearable, Tean's being away. Fancy Jean not being able to get rid of this well-dressed stranger, Probe ably a "deb" wanting to ask about Jean, "Show her in" he said finally, "Might as well get it over with" Decker was not prepared for the handsome creature who walked into his office with fshing eyes, The multi=millienaire noted her expensive clothes, her auburn hair, the arro- gant tilt to her head, She repre: sented money, position, he knew in- stantly, "I 'regret to disturb you, Me Decker," she said in a well-modu. lated volge, "but I had to see you. It is most important!" 'And she walted until Jean's aseistant had loft the room and: elosed the door, Decker wits annoyed. He remained standing, and, although he waved the young woman to a seal he came forward and leaned heavily on his "1 shall come directly to the point , Decker," she said quickly: "i e to appeal to you as a gentles n am Roberta Terry, I. any 'to Jimmie Reinsford, Pers "that will explain to you why | here," y Wirt MaNner of having hand in a polite Oh, yes!" he said understood that you and Mr, f n engaged: 'Roberta flushed and her eyes glits For the first time Mr, Decker that she was under a terrific strain, - The girl was almost | F, sume, here to talk shout Jean, appeal to you,' out ve | o averyihing] 'ou are the last resort---or no e the Jast=-but almost!" : 's face had become a He waited patiently, however, warts tumbled out of the itty was and she har chnched bands on the ui w SEE s surely 84 { EE | Vontl Youve ered her face with her to control hers oul about 1] ravages i I have no control over Miss rundes |" The gir! taughed wildly at this, I seemed to add fuel to the flame, "She broke up eur engagement onee==hut 1 made him realise. what she seally is, My own father was in. fatuated with her, Jimmie knows deep in his heart) Now this accident, 1 think she arganged it herself just to win him back, And she'll get him back, too, | know!

Roberta eried in a moeking voice, "We'll see) What about the bills you've paid for her? What about the bills at beauty parlors and sho for clothes and furs and jewels? T'1 see the world knows that, see the world knows just why my father left her all that money, Res member, V've hud wu detective watchs ing her for more than two years!" Decker was seriously alarmed, Not that the threats dwturhed him, But the wild light in the girl's eyes did, "Yau will, of gourse, do just as you think best," he said erisply, "Now 1 must ask you to leave, Stop all this nonsense, Miss Terry!" And he rang for a hoy to show her out the door, Roberta stormed out of the office and left Decker to mop his forehead and shake his head, He asked the telephone girl to get Jean's apartment on the line. Letty answered: "I'm nervous about a girl 1 think might try to get into the apartment and annoy Miss Brandes, Keep & sharp lookout for anybody, will you, Letty 1" he said, Letty promised, "Nobody will get in here but the doctor, I've a friend with me and nobody ean start anything with us around," fhe assured the man, Then Decker. put the entire matter ont of his mind, "Just a silly woman," he thought, with a shrug, But he would have been worried indeed If he could have seen Roberta's limousine speeding slong Broadway to the apartment where Jean was struggling back to health, Totally unaware of the impending scene, Jean sat resting in a big chair before the fireplace, She was mule ling over the strange events of the day Juger how things work out," she sald aloud, "And it had all happened because of Letty and her growing friendship for Jagk Murphy, Letty had formed a habit of talking to Jack, She seemed to find relief in telling him of the vears she had spent In prison. Grace encouraged her to uns rden. herself, "There was only one girl all the time I was there that 1 liked," Letty told Jack often, "I'd lke to know what happened to her.

But Roberta could not be stopped, Bitter accusing words poured from her lips, "Murderer!" she repeated wildly, "You killed my father! Will nobody see that you get justice?" Just as Roberta spoke, Vivien eame into the room. Her face went white, Even dn the excitement Jean knew that Vivian had not known of Mr, Terry's death, "Poor Vivian," Jean thought as Roberta raged, Jean could not take the absurd scene seriously, It did not seem that this cheap quarrel. could be happening in her apartment, It was 80 undignifiedss so ilishred!
