She had al- ready covered more than half of its broad-boarded surface, using a bright, mustard yellow paint.

It had prevented her, so far, from think- ing h2 dipped her brush into the paint and smiled, thinking of Wally. Poor Wally had been dumb- founded. Probably he thought she was utterly insane, and perhaps he was right. Fourth would probably think she was insane, too, when he got that telegram. She felt a little bit sorry for Fourth. He had undoubtedly been having a fairly tough time in the last two weeks. ‘Tm whole business had been such| 2 nasty shock to his vanity. She jcould still see the expression on his she face when she had broken the news. He hadn't believed, at first, but she had firmly convinced him. | 'The hardest task she had had that night had been her attempt ,to make Fourth understand her own |attitude. He could not see why (she felt the way she did, or why she was going away. He tried very hard to see, but he failed com- pletely. That was only natural, and on the whole he had behaved splendidly. He had been exception- all decent about the money end of the thing, promising to give back every cent that still remained in the bank. He said that it didn't matter; that he'd go Tack to sell- ing books. That was all very well if the job was still open, but haps someone else had it now. Perhaps he wasn't earning a cent. Perhaps she should go back to the jcity at once and hunt for a job. Could she do that? Could she pos- sibly summon the strength to face all her friends? Could she face Fourth, and Nelson, and Peak Ab- bott? | She put down her brush, sud- denly feeling dizzy. The turpen- tine or whatever they put in paint, did it. Her head ached. The floor i would have to wait until tomorrow when she felt better. In the mean- time she would go for a sail in the Baybird. That might help. She took off her smock, put on a heavy sweater and left the house by the door toward the sea. The sea was beautiful. It stretched all across the horizon be- yond the North Beach, a deep. bril- liant blue. A tramp steamer, Bos- ton bound, left a long trail of black smoke behind that hung motionless just over the water. There was not much wind, but there would be enough. The sun was low in the west per-! when she returned to her mooring at the foot of the bluff. The sun and the salt and the solitude had done their work. Her head no longer ached. She made everything shipshape on the little sailboat, rowed ashore in the white skiff, and slowly BAER GIVEN DECISION N RISKO FIGHT Cleveland Heavyweight Only Able to Take One Round of Ten SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 10. —Max Baer, Livermore butcher boy, took a ten-round decision over Johnny Risko, Cleveland heavy- weight, here last night. Risko took only one round of the fight. As the result of the victory, Baer squared accounts with his rival who won a decision over him sev- eral months ago in Cleveland.

Her outing, she re- flected, had been utterly profitless in regard to any decision concern- ing the future. She had been un- willing and unable to make any- thing that resembled a decision. She had merely rested . She had reached the top of the bluff and was half way across the stretch of grass to the front door when she glanced up and saw that a man was sitting on the front step with his chin in his hands. He was wearing a long black city overcoat and a derby hat. Sam stopped in surprise and took half a step forward. Then she gasped. “Why, Freddy!” she said slowly. “Why, Freddy Munson?” Is Freddy making one last try to win Sam?
