With the thrilled alarm and expec-
fancy that telegram arouses, Helen
turned on the hall light and opened
the door.
Instead of blue.coated messenger
there stood Mrs. Colburn in her bare
feet, her hair down, and only ki-
mono over her nightgown.
A frightened glance over her shoul-
der, and she darted in, closed the
door, locked and leaned against it,
trembling with cold and terror.
Don't let him in!" hysterically. "If
he comes after me-oh, don't let him
in"
Without stopping to question her,
Helen drew her into her room, and
snatched from the closet a bathrobe
and slippers.
Come over here by the radiator.
You shouldn't have come down these
stone steps in your bare feet!" Hell
ems voice was soothingly matter OF
fact
"Oh, didn't have time-I was in
bed when he came in!' incoherently.

wrapping the robe about her. Get
warm first; you're chilled through.
Would you like little brandy"
Mono" with shuddering revul-
sion, for alcohol was the cause of her
husbands brutality. "Oh, you won't
let him in-say that you won't!"
"Of course not" reassuringly, "but
he'll not come down here. If he's
been drinking, he won't want us to
see him"
"Oh, he wouldn't care. He doesn't
Look" barring her arm to a purple
bruise on the white skin. "Oh, what
ever he says-you won't let him in"
81 told you l wouldn't! Wait, I'll
tell Mr.. Curtis. No, keep that around
you-you're shivering."
Ever since the night Mr.. Colburn
had shot himself, Helen had been
vaguely apprehensivc; and now Mrs.
Colburn's dramatic appearance
seemed but the elimination of her
fears.
That Warren would be strongly op-
posed to getting mixed up IN any lam
lily trouble Helen knew. and she ap-
preached him with much misgiving.
Dear, it's Mrs. Colburnl He's been
drinking again-shc's afraid he'll
come after her. We've mustn't let
him in if he does"
"Why on earth did she come down
here?" sternly. "To rope us into a
family row."
"Shc doesn't know any one else in
the house. She says he's wild-he
drove her out in her bare feet!"
Huh, one of these hysterical wom-
en-! Don't know much about Col
burn, but from what I've seen of him
he seems to be fairly decent sort"
"She says he is-except when he's
drinking. You know that night he
tried to kill himself"
whats she going to do? She
can't stay here all night"
"Ycs, she can-in my rooml Well
have to let her stay! Oh, what's
that" as the bell rang clamorously.
"Wait-what'll you say to him?"
"How do you know it's he?"
brusquely shaking her off

tened tensely as he opened the door
as Mrs. Colburn here?" 1t was the
night-elevator boy. "Mr. Colburn
would like to see her."
Every we'll, I'll give her the mes

Infinitely relieved, Helen ran back

by the radiator in wide-eyed terror.
"He only sent the elevator boy, J."
soothingly. you see, he's not COM
ing himself-I knew he wouldn't.
Now lie down; you're all a-quiver."
But she was still pathetically agi-
tated.
"I'll heat you glass of milk. That's
quieting, and maybe after while you
can get little sleep"
"Sleep? You think | can sleep?
Ohr' with a convulsivc start as the
phone trebled out alarmingly shrill in
the night quiet. "Oh, that's he-I
know it is! | won't speak to him, |"
hysterically, az can't!"
Warren was taking down the re-
ccivcr when Helen ran in with whis-
pcrcd, "Say she's all unstrung She
can't come to the phone"
Mice mess you're getting us in"
Then sharply, Hello! - Yes. - >
Mrs. Colburn can't come to the
phone now. She's ill-Mrs. Curtis
has her in bed. She'll be up as soon
as she feels better" abruptly cutting
off,
From the door of Helen's room
Mrs. Colburn had listened, terror
lied.

frantically. "Oh, / know he will"
"If he does, you won't have to sec
him." Helen assured her. Now try
to get quict-try to relax. You're
only working yourself up"
Helen brought her the warm milk,
but she was too thoroughly unstrung
to be calmcd by so mild a sedative.
Huddled in a corner of the couch, she
would not even lie down. Yet the Bit
tcrncSs she had felt for her husband
was gradually changing to a consum-
ing anxiety.
"Oh, if-if anything should happenl
If he should try to Oh, he's desper-
ate enough to do anything-and he's
up there all alone"
But you say its only at you that
he gets so enragedl Now that he's
alone-he1l quiet down"
"If l could be sure Of that But he
was so violcnt-hc might" Then
impetuously, Wouldn't Mr.. Curtis go
for a moment?"
81 don't know" doubtfully, feeling
it would be difficult to persuade War
rem to such an errand.
But as Mrs Colburn's anxiety grew
to sort of frenzy. Helen reluctantly
consented to ask him.
How longs this going to keep
up" he demanded irritably, as Helen
came into the library. I'D like to get
to bed some time before morning"
Dear, now she's afraid he'll do
something desperate. You know he
did try to kill himself. Couldn't you
go up-just to see if he's all right?"
mo, l couldn't" raspingly. What
excuse have | got for butting in?"
But if he's been drinking, he
"Well, he's not too drunk to resent
my blowing in this time of night
What could l say? I'd feel like a
fool"
"If anything should happen! She
says he's just in the mood Oh, War
rem, do go! You're always so tactful
you'll know what to sayI"
At last with grumbling unwilling
ness Warren started for the door.
