Dick did not say one word TO mo
about the money, but like Banquo's
ghost, IT would not down in my mind.
: Apparently Dick never thought OF
it until next morning, when, Just as
he was leaving. he said: by the way,
Margie, you had better come down
and have luncheon with me. Come n
little early and we can go over to
the bank and arrange about that
book concern stock"
"It's come" said to myself, with
Z q little catch Of the breath.
",But, Dick, Tn uot going to buy the
Z book stock" | answered, striving not
to let my voice tremb!e.
He wheeled around and saw his
face was the blush white that had
learned TO associate with almost un-
scontrollable anger.
I'm tile first place, Dick" | hurried

rather haye-enough book concern
stock"
"oh, ! know" almost shouted, as
he started to speak, 81 known that il
Is splendid stock and as long as you
are In business my interests will be
cared for, but"
aBut WHAT" asked Dick coldly.
"Oh, / can't explain II all TO you in a
minute. Come bdck and sit down and
we'll talk 1t out
II haven't time"
"Dick, that Is not true. You are
either lying TO yourself or me. This
conyersatiou for which you have not

very! important business, business that
you would take days TO discuss with
man il that were necessary to its
contamination"
y Without word Dick marched back
\ down the hall to the living room and
sat down in his chair.
Sire ahead" he said, laconically.
"'Why do we always quarrel over
money, Dick?"
"Keep to the business in hand. l
have no time TO delve into the which
ness Of the whcreofs."
"That's part of the business. Let's
suppose I'm not your wife. but man
that you want to invest some money
IN your concern.
.Bunk! 1t can't he done. You cont
ret away from tho sex when you talk
toHa woman, whether she Is your
sweetheart, your wife or your grand
mother. So let's put that out Of the
discussion, please"
aWell, In the fist place, Dick. want
theiprivilege OF doing with the money
tust as please.
5sYou want to put 1t into some wild
catsscheme, suppose. When will wo-
mem learn that they know nothing
about money!"
.I'm afraid We will not get on at
ALL Dick, II we start from standpoints
az far apart as we seem to be"
aForlheaven's sake, Margie. don't nag.
Tell me what you want to do with
thatmoney and then can tell whether
Iapprove of It or not"
II don't know what want to do
with that money-all OF it-but can
teiltfyou very quickly what don't
want to do with It. don't want TO
nut IL into the book concern"
.All right" was Dicks disguised
and disheartened ejaculation. Whats
