The prospect of facing the girl, the thread of Wwhose sinister personality had so marred the fabric of my marital hap- piness, terrified me.

She is terribly grateful to. Katherine, however, as fond of her as she can be of any one, and she has finally corisented to come here. Don't anger her if you can help it.” e ‘When, a little later, Grace Draper ‘|and I faced each other it was pity instead of anger that stirred my heart. The girl was inexpressibly .wan, her .| beauty only a worn shadow of its former glory. But there was the old flash: of deflant hatred in her eyes as she looked at me, “Please don't flatter yourself that I have come here for your sake,” She said with her , smooth insolence. “But this girl here”—she indicated ot Typewriting done ‘ia | Xatherine—"took care of me before she knew. who I was.

I didn’t go anywhi with him except into a cafe for a few minutes the @ay he left New York. It was just atter he. got back from Marvin, and he was pouring drinks into himself so fast that he was pretty hasy about what had happened, but I made a pretty shrewd guess as to his trouble,” She turned to me, and I saWw with patient very carefully,| there you know best.” “Etop!” said Ldllian ausfigritatives 1y, and for a long minute the two women faced each other, Grave Dra- per defiant, Lilllan with all the com- pelling, almost hypnotic power that is hers when she chooses to exercise it The accusation which the girl had hurled at me stunned me as effectual- ly as an actual missle from her hand would have done. What did she mean? And then, before my dazed brain could work itself back through the mazes of memory there came the whirr of a taxi in the street, an im- perative ring of the bell, a tramp of masculine footsteps in the hall, and then my husband’s arms were around me, his lips murmuring disjointed, incoherent sentences l;llnlt my cheek. “Madge!

You won't altogether, will yau, I had.thought that if Dicky ever came back to me I should make him suffer a lttle of what he had com- pelled me to endure But as I looked from the white drawn face of the girl who I was sure still counted Dicky's love &s a stake for which no wager was tao high, to the anxious faces of the dear friends who had helped to bring him back to me, I could do nothing but yleld myself rapturously to the clasp of my husband’s . “I couldn’t have stood it much londer without you, Dicky!"” I whis- pered, and then, forgetting everything else in the warld but our happiness, my husband’s lips met mine in a long kiss of reconciliation. | A half-choked little cry startled me, (Continued On Fifth Page).
