CHAPTER LX. TAN had turned from the dresser now. His head was lowered until 2is eves were two inky pools. His lips stretched in a hard smile ver his even, white teeth. | A strange ring to his voice u want a divorce?” P found that she had unaccount- ably risen, as though to defend herself against that hard, white smile. “You're net surpriced!” she accused. “Afier the ~+ we've becn living, you can't be sur- 4. e hevent boen bapp. togeiner. u never cared for mo, reall + you did for Eunice Wilson— < devil leaped out of Stan’s _ you, leave her out of it!” “I'l be gad to,” Jud. said. quickly “And didn’t mean that spitefully. Please believe that. Only to show you _that—that—it wasn't built true ‘to begin with, Our marriage was all wrong from the beginning.” ““You didn’t think so once.” Judy moved her arms helplessly. {f Stan were to get argumentative . “No. I thought everything would work out for the best. I tried. Stan. You know I tried. But I guess it wasn't to be But now—now that we see it's wrong and won't work out, why—why, let's try and start anew and—and call eyes Oh. : voure through. And you've thoroughly made up your mind that you'd like to have me hand you a divorce—" An ugly edge on Stan’s voice Angry despair in Judy's heart. Stan was going to be mean. She had hoped to win him. At the mosi, she had ex- pected cold and sulky, hurt pride. Never this active antagonism She tried to be very calm. She put out her hand pleadingly. her voice rea- sonable, “But, Stan, isn't it the best way? Our marriage bad ceased to be & marriage—you’ll admit that “That can be successfully overcome tonight—my darling—-" Then he laughed, and the laugh was nct pleas- ant. No mistaking the repulsion with which Judy moved away from his snatching arms. “Oh!” There was a jeer in his voice. “O-ho, that's it! I'm not to touch you! Keeping yourself immaculate for him, aren't you? A case of ‘no other lips and no other arms but_yours.’ isn't it?"” “I don't know what Judy's eyes, blue fire in her white face. “Oh, cut the acting!” Stan’ said, roughly. “You know d— well what T mean! You weren't so keen about | any divorce until lately “One goes along—sort of—sliding past—like a knot in a string—slipping | it along, hoping it will smooth out in the long run. And then it's in a hope- | Jess tangle and you have to stop to | untie it.” “Getting pre.ty eloguent, aren't you?” Judy's pale face flushed under the whip of that. “I don’t mean to be.” There was a tremble in her voice and she tried to steady it. “I'm trying to be awfully straightforward about it all And—and decent about it. Bud you seem to want to parry.” Stan turned. Flung off his shirt—his &lim, brown body had the lithe grace of a panther. The handsome black eves were mocking when he finally faced her again. - “All right. T'll be as | direct as you like, my dear. I'll tell | you flatly that I'll agree to no divorce | between us so you can marry Nick Car- ter. Is that direct enough for you?” Judy's face went cold. She was still | as & statue; a stricken thing, standing there as though weighed down by the long, trailing folds of velvet. “Why do you say that?” Her lips | were stiff. » Stan’s teeth flashed in a silent, white smile. “Oh! So it's you who wants to parry now! Nick must have a wonder- ful technique! One night alone with him and you wantis"divorce from me!” The insinuation of that was a needle of ice through her heart. “That's—| pretty rotten of you, you know. ¥ don't mean that, Stan. That's spite.” “Oh, ‘dont I, though? You just try and force ‘this thing through and you'll find out how much I-mean it!" Fury was shaking Judy like a cold wind, but under it was desolation. “You don't mean it! You can't! You know how things are between you and me. Our marriage is_a farce. You married me for spite. You admitted it | —that time T ran away to the city. You | admitted you were in love with Eunice. That—that night I saw you two—down | here in the library UIf 1 told that, it would get me a divorce—" | “Yes? You came back to me willingly. | That condoped all that went before. | You lived with me as my wife. You | bore my child. You should read up on | your law, my dear!” | Judy had the maddened fear of some- | thing trapped. She made the mistake of becoming frantic “You've been cruel—you know you have! And—and untrue! Do you think T'm blind? Do jou think a woman doesn't feel those things? And I kept atill . Iwas . .. I was lenient— decent about it! Because nothing seemed to matter. I've been like something dead | ~—ever since the baby went . . . and you didn't care. And that night in the | hospital—when I nearly died—and I you mean.” | I won't parry.

Stan's eyes had narrowed to thin black slits, and_ his lips were thin “Where did you fearn that?>” ‘Never mind. I've know it for montbs. And I kept still. What was the use? . “All right bis pois Stan was getting back the night in jail thet time. 1 speat the night in a ceserted cabin in the mountains with m: brother. Which will sound the best to the ears of a judge?’ As always, when he mentioned Nick a sharp stab cf fear went through Judy Stan's hatred of Nick was a deadly, sinister thing. “Trat was an accident. and you know it. Every one knows it An accident will happen. Especially with a plane—" “You were able to come in easily enough in the morning.” “It was—it was that sort of an acci- dent! That =-unded fatally weak even to Fer. She amended it quickly. “Nick a< to land to locate the trouble. He took off the engine cowiing to look at ths gas-line. He explained it to me There was gas to the carbureter. so the trouble wes in the carbureter itself. He couldn't dismantle it in that twilight He had to have daylight. And the next day it was only dirt in the jet. He got it back tcgether in no time, and we cane back.” “Astonishly technical, aren’t you? ics stamped her foot at bim in ex- aspercted fury. “Don't b sty and sarcastic. You know that's true “I know that you spent a night with Ang it impressed you s> that you come back and ask me for a divoree!™ A wave of sick anger went over her “What a miserable thing to say. To put it that way! You know Nick—that Nick is—Nick is—"" “I know that Nick is a man. And | that you're a damn good-looking girl. And I know you've been in love with him for a long time. And I know what | the combination is in a lonely cabin | with no one around to spr. And vou're ice, my dear, when you love—" Judy spoke in a voice thick with loathing. “I didn't think even you could be so nasty, Stan!"” He gave her a mocking bow “I'm only voicing to you what the world's opinion wculd be. A judge would be | liable, when confronted with the facts, to look upon me as the aggrieved hus- band. Especially when I say that you | confessed as much to me, but that I was so broad-minded as to take the circumstances into consideration and was willing to take you back and for; y gasped. Turned dizzy and grasped the back of the chair. “You'd lie!” | “My word against yours, my dear.” | Stan ‘shrugged. He folded his arms, a | handsome bronze statue. standing there, | lamp- | his lowered black head, white teeth. | “No witnesses, Nick's word is as good | as nothing.. Weakens your case, if any- | thing! Any man would lie under the | circumstances—and no one would be- | Meve him! Your partiality to Niek | hasn't gone uhnoticed in this house, you know!

Impossf was . . - unfrue . . . unjust, that was what the world would believe! and Stan would lie to hurt Nick! Judy was a sudden harpy flying him with clenched fists, g_his naked chest.

What can you tell? Wrat you think isn't encugh, my dear! You must have proof. And you have nore!” He suddenly pulled her Pard against hir. holcing her power- less.
