She read the note, looked surprised and puzzled and then grabbed for the envelope. She saw that it was addressed to “Mason Tucker.” Then she read the note again. Wes, it said plainly, “Meet me at Main and Garden, Tuesday at 8:15.

Lillian was sick and angry. She had loved Tuck so much and he had seem- ed to love her, She had thought she was the only woman in his life, as he was the only man in hers. They had lived here so happily. She looked around at all the little things they had bought together and had loved and prized so much. And now she was leaving it all! In the few minutes that she sat there, she went over to herself all the little kindnesses and thought- ful things Mason had done for her. It was hard to believe that he was un- faithful. But there was the evidence, right there in her hand on the white crumpled note! Frank tried once to argue with her; he tried patiently to point out to her that there might be a mistake. He begged her to give Tuck a chance to explain, but to all this Lillian was deaf.

They discussed if for a few minutes and Lillian sat down on the divan, her hat and coat still on. “We certainly had a joke on Oscar this afternoon at .the office,” Mason remarked. “You have a lot of jokes on Oscar, don’t you?” Frank asked. “But this one was rich. He seems to have received a rather incriminating note and his wife got hold of it.” “What was it?” from Frank and Lil- lian together. “Some darn show on at the Circle. They have taken a rather unique but dangerous way of advertising it. They wrote a lot of notes about “Meet me at Main and Garden” and signed “Del.” That's the Circle address, though there’s a drug store right on the cor- ner, which helped out the story.” “What a-stupid way to advertisel” was Frank's comment, “Deucedly clever, I call it,” Mason replied. “Oscar’s wife gave him the devil, T guess. But any sensible woman would have known there was a catch in it, some place. Wouldn't she, honey?” to Lillian. Lillian was flustered, due to surprise, happiness and some remorse. but.she managed to answer, “Yes, any scnsible woman.” SPECIAL FRIL. & SAT.
