HOWARD GUNTER (Copyright. 1912, by Assoclated Literary Press.) The divorce was granted, the papers signed, and Margery Graham and Henry Wade, whom God had Jolned together some eight years earlier, were put asunder by Norton or the presents you can buy nothing | & Norton, as attorneys for the hus- band, and young Kelcy West, repre- senting Mrs. Wade. The whole af- falr, their friends agreed, had been beautifully managed, incompatibility was the plea, and the only disagree- able feature of the arrangement was ing of the parties to the suit at the office of Norton & Norton. Margery had cried before the meet- ing, for it seemed absurd to think of Henry as not belonging to her any more, as marrying some other woman, perhaps. Then she had dried her eyes, powdered her nose and put on her most becoming suit, feeling that Henry must be made to see that he was losing something precious; and flanked by her bosom frlend, Rita Whitmore, and on young West, she had come to the ap- pointment with just that look of re- signed martyrdom on her face which the occasion demanded. Henry came to the meeting by him- self and looked frankly worn and wretched, moreover, he made no at- tempt to ease the embarrassment of the situation, but was cold, gruff and unnatural, “a perfect brute,” as Rita | sald afterward, with a congratulatory equeeze of Margery’s hand. Margery went back to the mansion that Henry had built for they moved into town five years be fore, and, putting her head down on Polly Marie’s curls, cried so that her tears ran down Polly's fat neck. That tickled Polly Marie and she laughed such a splendid, hearty gurgle that Margery had to laugh, 100, though she i was very miserable. A hurning sense of indignation had uphe!d her durir the ordeal, but now that lienry granted all her deman gressor had in come put her in the wion: the littloe She | because it undevelog home iy gun housoheoy away martied years o nurse, lived ¢ 0w, everything just they had left it “Dress Polly Marie for u walk,” she called to the governess, and be- gan stuffing thines into her hand- bag. The governess protested, pointing to the heavy clouds that were gather- ing outside, but her mistress was ob- durate. There was a long trolley ride and then a walk ‘across an open fleld, with Polly Marle, who had fallen asleep, hanging limply over one shoulder, and the bag thumping against her ankles in a most uncom- fortable way. But she struggled bravely on, for over the high stone wall in the distance she could gee the gables of her haven Through the iron gate, up the long walk, and then came disappointment; for the sittngroom shutters were closed and Martha was evidently not at home. A moment ghe Paused consternation, then she recalled the broken hasp on the shutter of a back window. It had been 80 long since she was there that ghe had almost forgotten. All she had to do was to climb on the garden bench, pull the shutter open, and-—there she wys! But this was not so easy with Polly Marie and the bag, and only after two or three futile l¢ aps did she reach the ledge and scramble to the floor inside.

Then she snug- gled deep into her chair, cuddled Polly against her heart, and sighed a long, deep sigh. ; “Oh, homey little house!” whispered. Henry lit his pipe and settled him- self deep in his arm chair, “Right little, tight little, nest,” he answered, through clouds of smoke, and did not even pretend to be ashamed of such foolishness. “Oh, cozy, cunning home,” Margery, with great content. They sat for some time in stlence * while outside the storm roared and whistled through the trees. A vivid flash of lightning tore the darkness | and Margy jumped and squealed. | “Not afraid of that?” asked Henry, | as of old. She almost forgot what the an- swer should be, but got it out before the pause was noticeable. “Not when vou are here,” she answered. “But Henry, what are you doing here? 1 thought you had rooms at the club.” “Which shows how much you knew about me, or cared,” he answered gloomily. “I've been living here over two months, with old Martha keep- Ing house for me. She's gone to her elck daughter tonight. When the trouble got so bad"—he winced and | spoke with lowered volce—"I couldn’t istand it, Margy.

So 1 went right down and got Polly Marle for my very own.” “I'm glad,” declared Wade with | faction. “The little house lmdi s wanted a baby, Margy.” “Perhaps,” she suggested, “if we'd ! had one it wouldn't have | happened | Then, for a woman must | ddle with the tree of useless | Wi made it happe n, | stacks of money v Ler lips, of rbor, and rawed n the door searched 1l then yo ! remeniber how we t knocker? behind. ! word in | little gy, the home, | You must for it orown hoiss | little brown Loy a real land the minute that word is spoken, | or even thought of. within its four | walls, a real home dies.” | “How stupid of me,” she cried, | “and to think | almost killed the - | tle house.
