But when Bruce tells Pierre that Ann's tears were due to Pierre’s refusal to invest in the scheme which, he says, would make them rich, Pierre hands him the money—not knowing that his estranged father, Roy Doncvan, Bruce's stepfather, is the promoter. Only when Bruce coldly bids his wife goodby and glarts en a trip for the bank for which he and Anne’s fa- ther, Martin Bevs, work, does Picrre realize what he has done.

Ann was bewildered and hurt by Bruce's manner but she attributed fully: “Don’t you wish you knew?” Pierre seized the package; it to their quarrel because she had refused to help him in his plans to use Plerre's money. Pierre's man- ner also disturbed her but she thought that he was merely hurt by the lack of feeling in Bruce's farewell to him. She sought to com- fort Pierre. “Don't mind, dear, Bruce simply forgot that you would be gone before he can ggl home in the morning.” “You think tnat is it, do Pierre asked doubtfully. Ann looked at him questioningly. “Why, of course. He will feel ter- rible when he remembers ;I know him so well.” “Y wonder it you ao?” Ann, with increasing uneasiness, tried to arouse Pierre from his mood. “Oh, ecome now, Pierre, you know that Bruce is very fond of you. He is not very demonstrative, that is all—it's only his way. “I wonder!” said Pierre again. “You won't forget us altogether, will you?” asked Ann, determined to lead his mind away from the painful incident. “And you'll write once in a while?” Pierre did not answer but stood looking at her. He was trying to find words to tell her what had happened, wondering what she would say when she knew, and try- ing to make himself believe that everything was all right in spite of his .errible apprehension. you?” front door slammed shut be- ed a package and asked curiously, Pierre “What's this?” You shall dwell in a pal Ann clapped her ha Then more n half in e e sald: “When your prophecy comes true, I |shall put on my most beautiful |gown and sit in a great theatre and watch a famous actor named Pierre Donovan.

Pierre, with customary buriesque demanded, “Madam, does your hus- |band know about this?” Ann answered triumphantly, *Bruce doesn’t know a thing about |it.

But we | may even now be watched through the window. Come!” He seized the ‘packnge as if to carry it off. Ann, laughing, stopped him, op-| ened the package and disclosed an | adjustable dress form. “Aha!” exclaimed the horrified actor, “the body! The ghastly evi- dence of your crime!” Ann set up the form: “See this will help me to fit my dresses. We can't afford a dressmaker, you know.” Pierre inspected the dress form critically. “Gee, I never realized you looked like that!” “Much you know what I look like,” she retorted. She brought a tape measure and said: “You must measure me."” Then, while he examined the tape wonderingly she removed the short-sleeved house apron and stood | | will moved aimlessly | |to west shipments are principally [ macies of the scene through which |'’he had just passed; Ann’s thought- | |less freedom in admitting him into |the privacies of her dress; the ac- with her p n; her | ance of the never-be- dged closeness of | their relationship; all had served |to arouse in Pierre a love of which |he had been hitherto conscious only . ed b {as one might feel a beautiful and e 4 wholly impossible dream. products His love had now become a hun- ger for her—a need which frighten- led him by its intensity. | (Copyright, 1930, by D.
