As 1 leaned back. in the car, my cheeks burning, {fairly trembling with i dignation, and the temerity of my k sentence' to Blanche Orton, 1 Wished 'with all my heart that. Neil were at.home. Hé should net visit Blanche any mote, How careless I had been not to realize the tengths to 'which his anxiety for his business would tuke him. She had said she "was wHing to 'crucify' herself to help my husband. What did she mean? Was she so in love with him ?---Someway I didn't quite be lieve that, and I was not at all ready to' believe that Nell cared for lier in a way to wrong me, No~--it was all » & part of this business tangle, und ~-gecrecy, A Had 1 struck the right reason for hor complaisance when 1 sald (hat she of coursé reaped no beneilts from having those vulgar men at her table. It was common talk that Mr. Orton had left very little, was she being Paid to entertain Neil and his friends? The longer I thought of this more positive was { that I had hit upon the correct selution. It was for money that she was erucifying herself ---not for Neil. 1 hixd no soomer arrived at this decision than I was happier, If she were being paid like auy hotel or club for entertaining a lot of coarse men who were necessary to Neil be- cause they were wealthy and could advance his interests, it put a aif- ferent phase upon the matter altoge- - ther. 1 couldn't help but despise her for being willing to lend herself to any such schemes, but I-knew she was luxurious. And if she needed money---well, people would do alot when they wanted. money that they . Wouldn't think of doing without that need. it was not a Wice construction to Put upon an action, but in a way it mide me less uneasy about Neil's ir timacy 'with hery If it was, as I now tried to make mysélf think, a purely business arrangement, I had no rea- son to be personally jealous of them. No cause to fear ' the fascinating Blanche, Yet as 1 recalled how charming, how enticing she was in her daring negligee, I wondered that Nell, or any man, could withstand her seductiveness, the A "His love for me and baby keeps him from doing anything to hurt us," I said aloud and hugged the thought. When I reached home there 'was a message from Neil: "Home 1OmMorrow Neil." now that one word 'love' soothed and comforted me. And I would put all thoughts of his business from my mind until he could return ; and refute what 1 had beenitold, what } had heard. It might make Neil feel badly, even might anger him, but 1 had determined to tell him all I had heard while he was away, both from Lorraine, and what 1 had chanced upon at the decorators. How could he Satisfy me they were wrong if he did not know what they said? But I did not decide to tell him of my call on Blanche Orton. That 1 would"think about. Perhaps when I explained that his methods of bus iness were causing talk, that: Lor- raine had spoken of making Mrs. Or- ton's home a rendezvous, he would decide to discontinue going there. Anyway 1 would wait Aug see. I recalled what Blanch8 Orton had sald about knowing some delightful fellows who would be an addition te any affair 1 might contemplate give Ing: She had spoken truthfully . I knew. Her acquaintance among men was large, and she really knew many whose social position made them at- tractive as ghests, 1 had been so blindly happy of late. My beautiful home, Neil's generosity in furnishing it, .my delight fn my darling boy, all bad tended to a quiet belief in the lasting quality of that happiness. 1 'hated to be so disturb- ed; to have my tranquility so brok- en. So I waited with more than my usual eagerness for Neil, Oh, 1 am so>glad to see you!" } exclaimed as I threw my arms around his neck. 'I thought you never would come." -™ k "Why so much more eager than usual?" he asked as he kissed me. "Oh, there is so much I want to know, to ask you ahout--yaur busi- ness. I went down to the office but your private office was locked. I wanted to see if I couldn't find out something so I could show people who are saying nasty things that they were wrong.

And we had the worst quarrel we ever had before I could pacify him as to the innocence of my intent. He wouldn't eome to bed, but remained in the library all night. It was ter- rible Jor me, 1 had so longed to have him home, {To Be Continued.) amt | TALKING IT OVER ith Lora Mooe-- A Dear Old Goose "Only a new hat, or a letter from over there, ¢ould make you look like that," 1 challenged the sol dier's prety wife, which "is it-- fess up!" "You're a witch," her eyes dancing. "It's both, I'm going on a bat." "What kind of a bat?" "Clothes," she eried gleefully. 8 "Come on, come i§ with me, i} of money!" § "But why the wild burst of ex- t-avagance after two years of eco- nomy?" , "That's wWhy--- it too much eco- ® nomy. I haven't got a thing to wear.

In: France the women are all in black, and in England they are all fn uniform. 1'll never feel that the war fs over until I see you dripping along In a pair of silly little Slippers with high heels'. She looked up from the letter with a laugh, and sald, "I'm 'glad he wrote this, for I intended to meet him in a serge frock" and walking shoes--wasn't he funny about the lace cap?---the dear old goose!" -------------------- " DIED AT NORTHBROOK.
