The rest of Dicky's letter, filled hough it was with interesting details £ his daily routine and lover-like nessages for me, was dwarfed in in- erest by the terrified thrill which his 1ews concerning Harry Underwood ave me. “They call us Damon and Pythias,” | e had sald, and I-—knowing the oyal capacity for forgiveness and for- ketting even the cause of a quarrel vhich my soldier-husband possessed— bould visualize the absolute confl- ence which he was according Harry nderwood, who in the old days had been one of his closest friends The vision was one to make me istinctly uneasy. No matter vas redeeming himself on the battle- elds of France I couldn’t forget that | nly a few short months before he ad been that most despicable of all hings a traitor to his country, and o his oldest friend, and but for bicky’s presence of mind, a mur- jlerer as well. 5 From a line in the letter Mr. Un- herwood had written to Lilllan I ealized also that his old infatuation, bsession—I had no name to fit the zarped feeling which Lilllan asserted e felt for me—was still dominant in his mind. And the realization didn’t en the vague terror I felt at the nowledge that Harry Underwood and 1y husband were together ‘‘some- here in France.” But there was nothing I could do, o one to whom I could speak of my and my father been ears.

T'm a trifle interested in the | Dicky-bird myself.” She continued her whimsical scold- | ing in running comment as she opened the letter and began to read it. “And just wait till 1 get my hands on the Dicky-bird!

Shut up while I finish this letter.” She didn’t speak again, nor did I until she had read every word Dicky had written. But I distinctly saw her start as she looked at the top of the page on which—I could tell by count- ing the sheets—was written Harry Underwood’s name. And she read the pages containing Dicky's account of their meeting three times before she {laid down the letter. Then she rai her eyes to my troubled ones looked at me steadily. “What' is it, dear?” she said quietly after a moment. “Are you afraid to have Harry there with Dicky? Is that it?” I hadn’t meant her to feelings, but her keen intuition read my telltale face. “I—I—can’t help it, | said sorrowfully. She waited another moment as if to be very sure of her words before know my had Lillian,” ) .’ she said finally, “I was Tnderwood's wife for {years.
