How dangerous a game Gail had

she learned to fear herself even
more.

sometimes with Vance present and
sometimes without, continued to
spend several hours a day in each
others company. Then one day
circuit, acting on the advice Of
DR.. Underwood to force his wife's
hand, again took her in his arms
and kissed her.
The two of them had spent an
unusually pleasant day. circuit
had accompanied Gail to an after
noon reception. where both had
been made much of. Gail, used to
long years of worse than discour-
tesy on the part of her husband,
glowed with the success and hap
piness of it all. When they re-
turned she went to her room to
lay aside her wraps and circuit
| followed her up the stairs to his
own quarters.
His errand took him only a min
ute, and as he repassed her open
door on his way back down stairs
he sauntered in. The psychological
moment had arrived. He only
kissed her hair lightly, and she
stood before the mirror patting it
into place, but some unbroken
force swept Gail off her feet.
She turned on him in what she
thought was fury-only to return
his kisses. But Orcutt's joy over
her apparent capitulation was
short lived. AS she pushed him
from her and staggered back
against the dressing table, her ter
ror frightened him. He succeeded
in quieting her at last, and they
had long talk, in which Gail,
fighting desperately, again won.
But the next day Orcutt repaired
to his friend.
DR.. Underwood looked at his
visitor critically. The puzzled
frown on CIRCUITS face was deeper
than ordinary. They were in the
doctors study.
1.-THE sun hasn't been out like
this since I was at your house,
remarked the doctor. "You were
going to sit for your picture. Did
you bring the proofs?"
YES" returned Orcutt, and laid
an envelope on the desk beside
him. The doctor reached for it
eagerly.
"How is life going now?" he
questioned. "Satisfied?-Happy"
Underwood" said the other.
"If it's a mania that makes my
wife afraid of me, it's mania
founded on something that's be-
yond my ability to overcome. She's
