ala AZ the office this evening"
aHow would | know he wanted

When Dick becomes suspicious

-xow. look here. Dick Waverlcy.
4 you think I'm going TO stand any
q these ugly questions. you arc
nirh,.ly mistaken. Mrs. Selwin
called me up today and invited US
ever 10 dinner said she was glad
yea could be so much with me dur.
ne this dull business season. and
Incidentally remarked that however
rssinx business was. Mr.. Selwin
rerer went 10 the office after office
hours. Nos. Dick. you will certain
h 1--we me eredi; for not mixing up
n your business affairs. but I am
rot child. neither am fool. and
you have not been deceiving me IN

aess the last few weeks when you
hare been out night after night. and
ikave come to regard your protes-
utions OF affection for me 10 mean
err one thing. remorse for the way
/ ycu have been treating me"
Dick looked at me In a surprised
manner and started TO speak.
Wait Until I'm thru. don't
wait TO decker with you. Dick. nor
syen ask you questions about
where you are when you are away
from ne. for the simple reason that

quarrel with him continually. When
yog are home | try 10 make you
csnfortable. simply because when
yoa arc IN good humor ! am more
eoufortaole. but there are times
vhea patience ceases 10 be a vlr.
ne. and one OF tho times Is when

bsadness for leaving me- I'll ac-
knowledge that perhaps haven't
eeen the pleasantest OF companions
Afe'y. but one OF the things you
xpnised was to care for mo In
rckress and In health. However. I
ni1k could excuse a neglectful
szsbaud easier than can one who
Ses to me-"
But. Margie. don't lie 10 you"
Wow. Dick. please don't salve
ye1r conscience with the idea that
because you tell me part of the

moW-R you do not do a more
covardly thing than lie TO yourself
-snaf you intend to deceive me"
wish Kitty would stay away"
~ Dick viciousiy.
Don't lay this quarrel to Kitty,
nek II 10 coming to you for
~ while. and this idea that you

fffed off the white tie he had
'een trying 10 make bow out OF.
All right can't compel you 10
% anything you don't want to do"

aiied up Jim Eide. As asked for
