Even some of | vour friends know it, as I happen to overed, but, of course, aid to tell you the truth:” nall hands were clenched | t her sides. She stood before him like a schoolgirl receiving a lecture. She had never been so furious in her life. And yet she had to listen unless she put her fingers in her ears, and he dreaded his scornful laughter if she tried a childish stunt like that. “Raymond Townley,” he went on evenly, “deserted his wife at a time when she needed him most. “He didn't.” she blurted out, corced him had_plenty of cause to, be he had deserted her before that. had to do something to save her pride.

He had wanted to reach her through her fmagination, but now that he had failed he would try another method. “I'm sorry that you feel as you do. I had no intention of hurting you. I recognized a quality in you that sur- prised and delighted me. I felt that instead of talking to you as if you were a small child, I would try to rppeal to you through that quality. Now I'll talk more plainly.” “I won't listen. It won't do the slightest good to talk. 1 know exactly what you're going to say—-" “Do you?’ he Interrupted. you'll listen just the same.” He strode to the door and turned the key in the lock. “I won't take up much of your time. You'll be through so that you can keep your engagement.” She stood there before him like a tragedy queen, and he had a momen- tary impulse to go up and shake her, but he restrained himself. “You might as well sit dowhn and be comfortable,” he suggested. “I won't sit down. And you have no right to keep me here like t You forget—this is my house. merely a guest in it.” “A guest who happens to be your guardian, at least for a few more months. ~ Not that I relish the job Deliver me from another like it! But it does happen to be my job, and al though I have no wish to coefce you in any way—I realize the futility of that—you're going to hear a few plain facts whether you want to listen or not.” g She did not move from her position in the center of the room, and after Waliting a moment or two, Mark delib- erately lighted a cigar and sat down in a comfortable chair She seethed with fury at his action. For a man to be seated when a woman stod was to her the height of disrespect. And yet she couldn’t sit down after she had refused.

Two very long, ungainly windows in a dining room, whose aim was quaintness, were cleverly re-formed, as shown by the drawing, to bring them 4nto harmony with the spirit of the room. Shelves were built across them on which could be displayed a collection of antique glassware. At the sides ! | were hung curtains of red cambric, patterned with white stars.. The en- | tire length of each window was then | | covered by a panel of plaster board, in which an opening of appropriate | size and interesting shape was cut.
