1t had grown dusk before Helen
finally started to go.
Il hate to leave you here! This
room is so gloomy-the whole house
is SO depressing. Can't you go to a
more cheerful place."
"Oh, don't think of the place.

I'll take some bromide, and in day

At the door she caught Helen's arm
and held it with rigid tenseness.

you. He won't dream that you know.
But if he should can depend upon
you not to tell him? You mustn't
think that anything you could do

mo, I'll not take that responsibility
I'll not try to shape things in any way
I'll promise you that"
When Helen reached the street, it
was quarter after six, and for once
she overcame her deep-rooted economy
and signaled a passing taxi. She
must get home quickly. Warren was
probably already there.
1t was the hour of the home going
crowds, but Helen leaned back. still
absorbed with the scene in that dingy
hotel room, the very air of which had
vibrated with Mrs. Colburn's inten-
sity.
She pictured her going there after
midnight What must have been her
sensation when she found herself
alone in that strange hotel. How had
she spent the rest of the night? And
today? And now tonight? But she
had said she would take some bro
mide if she could not sleep
Was she all wrong? She had en-
dured so much from her husband
should she have tried to endure this
too?
1t took courage, infinite courage, for
any woman to leave comfortable
home and go out, wholly unfit for the
grim, sordid struggle of earning her
own living. Would her courage hold
Would she have the strength to go
on-or would she let her husband
seek her out and yield to his plea to
return?
When she left the taxi at the door,
Helen's upward glance sought the win
dows of the eighth and ninth floors.
The Colburns' apartment was dark
it seemed a sinister darkness. But
her heart leaped at the cheerful glow
that shone from the windows on the
floor below Warren was there!
She was conscious of a sudden feel
ing of guilt that she could never quite
appreciate her own well-being except
by contrast with the distress of some
one else.
Once before Mrs. Colburn's unhappi-
ness had brought to her the realiza-
tion of the peace and security her
own life held But now she would
make this realization permanent. She
would no longer let the trivial things
blind her to the greater ones.
And Warren's faults of irritability
seemed now so trivial! They had
seemed trivial before, yet always they
had loomed large again. But here
after she would keep this moment be-
fore her. When his ill-humor was the
most trying, she would remember
what she felt NOW.
Aglow with the enthusiasm of this
resolve, she hurried in to the elevator.
Yet under the thrill of thankfulness
for her own happier lot, was the
haunting thought of that dark, empty
apartment--and Mrs. Colburn alone in
that gloomy hotel.

typical of the small, second-rate hotel
A colored youth in shabby uniform
lounged on the bench by the elevator
and thin, palidfaced clerk stood be,
hind the desk, languidly sorting the
mail.
Helen approached the desk and then
drew back In confusion. She had for
gotten the name she was to ask for!
Stepping behind dusty artificial palm
that graced the lobby. she hurriedly
consulted the note in her purse:

without glancing up from the letters.

"Yes, but perhaps you'd better an

Helen stepped into the elevator, and
the boy, shuffling off his bench, took
her up to the fourth floor.
FourB was the last door down the
narrow, red-walled hall. Helen
knocked twice before she heard the
slipping of a bolt, and the door was
cautiously opened.
The moment she entered. Helen felt
the emotioualism with which the room
was charged. Mrs. Colburn was in a
loose gown. her hair in two long
braids. On chair were her street
suit and hat. and large travelling
bag stood on the table.
Rebolting the door, she turned to
Helen with a desperate, reckless ses-
ture. She had not spoken.

Helen tensely.

She had dropped into chair, and

risidly clasped. Helen saw how utter
ly worn and haggard she was In the
gray light from the out court window
her face looked ashen.
Last night" asked Helen gently
was he so much wOrse?" ..
"Oh. he was drunk. of course-he
hasn't come home sober for a week
But it wasn't that-it was something
very different. Something l hadn't
dreamed of before"
Opening the bag on the table, she
took from an inside pocked square
blue envelope.
Read that quiveringly, handing it
to Helen.
It was addressed to Mr. Ed w. Col
burn, 1853 Wall Street, which Helen
knew was his office. The note was
short. and in a crude, sprawling hand.
