Clive, on the. contrary, was subdued. He wag ashamed that they should have #tagéd a scene on her birthday: ‘They had formed the tiabit of Wav- ing breakfast sérved on a tiny. As a rule, she sat up, propped with pil- Jows, and chatted while he dressed. ‘When he was ready for departure, she thrust her feet into pantoufles and flung on a negligee, accompany- itig him to the hil! to take farewell, He had fetched her pantoufies and fitted them to her feet. She sat dangling her legs over the edge of the bed, regarding him. “Don't go, Clive. Where do you go?” “In search of work, along with the rest of the unemployed.” “Help me, Clive.” She leaned her head on one side. “I never realized till last night how bitterly you resent having nothing to do.” “It wasn't mentioned,” he said. “It never is. But it's the soreness | *°ceP that distorts everything.” He began to pace. “For a man marriage isn’t a ca- reer. Because you have money you seem to think it ought to be. At the tmoment I may be only a sal) tato. The little { earn or don’t e! mayn’t make much difference. ‘What I am today I was whén we married.

Your future’s mine.” Hevias presented her with the comb, he seated himself beside her. it’s the truést word you've spoken since we were married.” “And you've been waiting to hear me speak it?” “Stop tugging at your hair,” he commanded. “This is the greatest moment of our lives. My future your future! Why the dickens didn’t you say it sooner? You've acted’as though yon wore the tron- sers and I had no future. I can fight now that I know it’s for you I'm fighting.” “Don't need to.” @ tricky smile. “Is there a nigger in the wood- pile?” “No nigger, little boy. Only that your wife’s found you a job while You've been searching.” “Hat” He considered. “How did you find it?” “Someone asked me if you were free. This somebody estimates your ability very highly. No good asking his name; he doesn’t want to figure. You're to go to an address that I'll give you. 1 don’t mind telling you that the salary’s twice what you Were earning.” “T'th not worth ten tholisand, Banta.” “You make me tited, Clive. You're worth what anyone will pay you,” “There must be strings.” “Only that you're not to ask who tipped me off to send you.” “Ie he your father? Because, if so—" “It-so I should ‘have broken our compact. No, he isn't my father. I haven't breathed a word to anyone ‘hat you're strapped. This offer ame to me out of a clear sky.” “When?” “That's my secret.” “But you know who's behind ft?” “I'm not even allowed to admit that. You're to go to a certain ad- Gress. If you're not eatisfied——" “No harm in applying,” he con- ceded. She threw him Contrary to his usual reception, he was shown in at once. An alert, youngish man, probably ten years older than himself, rose to greet him. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Poncaster.” 1932.

How about | walking rouma tomy club?” It was an impresdive lunch tHat his host ordeted. Incréasingly Clive suspected that he was being flattered. That there was a game he was convinced when the salary was mentioned—ten thousand dol- lars; the- precise sum that Santa had stated. i “Then we may expect you tomor- Tow?” his host asked at parting. “Let me sleep over it.” “As you like, fa boped you would “I don’t want to appear ungra- cious,” Clive hesitated. “We'll consider no one élse till we hear from you.” : As his key turned tn the latch Santa opened to him. She hafled him as a conduéring hero. “Hello, big shot!, How does it feel to be important?” “Like ® fairy-tale. “It Wwoiila it fa ‘accopted.” “You mean you've refused?” “I'm to give my atfwWer tomor- row.” “But, ‘Clive, you ean’t afford to be high-hat. Give it today. Every- thing will Be settted.” “Guess I'll watt till tomorrow.” He escaped down the passage to the bedroom. High-hat—good heavens! When it came to affording, ‘he couldn't j afford to be married. He conjured to himself what ten thousand dol- lars a year would mean te him; self-respect, if he could ‘earn tt honestly. But why the pressure? ‘Why the secrecy? Santa could put him wise, With coaxing she would tell him, Throughout dinner she didn’t broach the subject. After dinner she played patience, while he feigned to read, ‘Whe clock struck nine. She yawned and bundfed her cards together. fs “The end of a pérfett ddy!

Having done me a good turn, you spoil it by treating me as an imbecile.” “Darling, you're nervously ex- hausted. Yon see the ghosts that ain’t. When you've cinchéd that job tomorrow wé must run down for @ change to Atlantic City.” Kissing the tips of her fingers, she retreated. He resumed his book, postponing the ‘curtaintecture which he felt sure awaited him. In that she fooled him. At eleven when he retired she was peacefully sleeping. According to routine, having ‘breakfasted, clad in negligee she accompanied him to the threshold. ‘With the meekness of a saint she kissed him dutifully. The door had closed. He tapped for re-entrance, “What ie it?” She stood facing | him. “This is absurd.” “I agri anything.” “You're the one who's difficult, Santa. You're trying to browbeat me into obeying you as though 1 were a Kid in short pants.
