P T THE UNDERSTANDING By BLANCHE G. ROBBINS. The room was strangely familiar to her, yet she knew she had never be- fore secn even the outside of the bungalow. It appealed to her as singularly masculine. In the dim light of the log fire of the grate she could see the dark green walls, hung with pictures done in sepia and dull gray tones. The bookcases . weré filled with books, richly bound She was struck with the simplicity of the furnishings. Suddenly the fire flickered into life, and the picture hanging over the fire- place caught her attention. It was ob- viously a snapshot, enlarged but ex- quisitely finished. It was a picture of a woman, her motherhood stamped distinctly on her beautiful face. She sat before an open fire, the firelight radiating the laugh- ter in her eyes. | At her knee stood a small boy, his bright eyes revealing the love of his own little soul as he smiled respons- ively. Suddenly she roused herself; she had been dreaming. She was not pre- paring an answer for the man waliting outside in the darkness. Denny Brown had asked her to marry him and she had promised her answer to- night. They had been running swiftly, smoothly through the exhilarating air of the suburbs in Denny’s car. Sud- denly something had gone wrong. It had happened at the very moment when she should have been answering Denny. He had brought her to this bunga- low, asking permission for her to wait there. He had telephoned to a neighboring garage for a man. They were now re- pairing the machine. In a few mo- ments he would return for her. How strongly at this monent all Denny could give her appealed to her! She was so tired—so nervously tired of her own life. But the other man! Somehow Denny had guessed that the other man had been something to her. For tonight he had told her, quietly, that the other | man had failed again. Unconsciously, she had been waiting for “the other man” to win success. A man’s step sounded on the veran-| da—Denny had come for her and her answer was not ready. She heard the click of the telephone receiver in the hall. A man's voice—not Denny’s— called Woodstock, N. H,, on the long- distance. 1 It was Phil Berkley—the other man! ! | ! She was waiti n his bungalow—to- night of all nights, but she had to| listen. “Hello, that you Mater?” | i ‘‘‘‘‘ | “Oh, I'm—I'm all right. “Yes—a bit blue tonight, how did you know?"” ke e “I hate to tell you, mamsy; but it's | another failure.” i “No, I'm going to try again. Third | time'’s trying, you know.” “You're so comforting, Mamsy, yes I'll succeed—some day.” “I wouldn't care so much if it weren't for you and—that little girl.” “Yes, she's waiting for me.” “Yes, there's just the understanding between us. Yet I trust her to wait. Sometimes I think I must have dreamed it all.” “Good-night, dearest—" 3 » In a moment the man would ring off. She must either hide or run. By the light of the flame she saw a door leading from the room to the ve- randa. randa. toward the lights shining dimly in the road. Pausing within the shelter of the shrubbery, she called softly, “Den- Many Distinctive Effects Will Be No- ny!” The man left the machine and came quickly to the lawn. “Denny, won’t you take me homel now?
