 Walter, she said coldly on his re- turn, q think it advisable that we separate. Not on Billy's account not because he is anything to me, but because of your stand in this matter"
 If you desire separation" he said in low, strange voice, you shall have one"
 She was little startled and piqued by his ready acquiescence.

 Walter! As if would put feath- CT between you two She shall come to you as often as you desire"
 The next day he moved into apart ments, and Edna's aunt came to her. It was the time of year when nearly every one was out of town, and the few who came to the house supposed Walter to be absent on one of his ire quent business trips.
 As she sat alone in her boudoir, pondering over the arrangement, she heard the batter of little steps in the hall, and she lifted her head expect antly Lillian had been spending the day with her father
