There was one, however, in the living

does not seem TO be sick in bed on ac

Indeed, when Carolyn let herself in and
switched on the light, the first thing she
saw was his cage hung away from a
draft and covered carefully for the night.
\ sleepy flutter and chirp indicated that
seed and water also had been forthcom-
ing.
Carolyn had had visions of herself point
ing an accusing finger at Reginald over
FergieS dead body and crying Shame
In fact she had recently thought of sew
eral neat but annihilating things that had
failed to occur to her at the psychological
moment of the war. Had Fergie died it
would have been splendid opportunity
to bring in the extras. But as Fergie had
not died Carolyn decided TO take the bird
cage and all, and depart. She wondered
how many days would elapse before Regi-
nald coaxed her back. Then suddenly a.
desire to look over the house obsessed
her. 1t would be Il splendid way to find
out just how Reginald's resignation to
her departure was registering. She hoped
to find dirt. chaos and disorder TO COM
port with her former regime of santa

body by the day had been in and the
house was immaculate.

Carolyn and Reginald. her husband,

ordinary war of words, and Carolyn
had gone home to mother. taking all her
belongings, except Fergie, the bird In
her haste she forgot all about his dear
little yeIlowness until miles away.
The nine days that followed were so
full of sympathetic relatives. who called
Reginald the loveliest. unprintable names.
that it didn't matter SO much about
Fergie.
But even sympathy pals after while
and Carolyn began 10 wonder what lad
happened to her pct. She had taken eX-
ceIlent care to discharge cook and cham
bcrmaid before she left, SO that Reginald
should suffer superlativc discomfort
Now Who would there be to put seed and
water into the cage? Even if Reginald
werc staying at home he would never
think of it
Carolyn now had cause to regret her
careful training of her husband. So long
had she dinned it into his ears that she
was the head of the house and that
suggestion of his that he had finally
learned his lesson we'll and let everything
alone.
And the morning and the evening
were the ninth day, which happened also
TO be Reginald's birthday. Carolyn did
not allow that to influence her, however.
in what she had decided to do. She put
on her hat and took train back TO the

Time passed in the darkness. Regi-

had evidently started. She thought of
impossible as the front. Collins, the
Fletchers butler, was in the kitchen,
and he knew her. There was one place
she could go and run little risk of be-
ing seen-upstairs. Upstairs she went
finally and locked herself in her old
room.
SO that was the reputation she had
among their friends, She had thought
herself to be a model in every way.
Instead they were laughing at her
and calling Reginald henpecked. One
thing was encouraging! Reginald
hadn't told soul the truth. They
thought she was away

Poor Reginald. 1t must be true that
I've made him unhappy. I wonder if l
