Baffled, Helen hung up the receiver
He must be there! 1t was only thirty
minutes to his office, and 1t had been
an hour since he left.
Vaguely anxious, she went back to
her work. Taking off the dusty sheet
that had protected the bed, she turned
down the covers and laid out her
night-dress and Warren's pajamas.
Somehow the bed, now ready for the
night, gave the first touch of home to
the place.
Three times within the next half
hour she called Warren's office, but
still that battling, Cortland 1923 don't

Even If he had started home before
her first call, he would be here by
now. What could it mean? Every
gruesome possibility now obsessed
her-an accident in the subway, In
crossing a dark street, or in the
elevator, run by the sleepy Waterman.
Was this swift punishment for her
rebellious thoughts at the monotonous
routine of their home? Was this rou-
tine to be broken by some tragedy?
AFFECT in her remorse, with tempes-
tuous change of feeling, her home life
now seemed ideal. II only nothing had
happened to Warren!
By IL o'clock Helen had worked her
self into state of feverish anxiety.
Unheeding the singing cold, she had
thrown up the library window and was
leaning far out, hoping to recognize
Warren in every muffled figure that
came up the street. Once more she
turned to the telephone.
Central" pleadingly, "see II you
can't get that number now!"
Again the empty buzzing and again

Then, with a desperate determine
ton, Helen found the number of a
wellknown cab company and called
for taxi.
In blind, trembling haste she got
back into her travelling suit. This
suspense she could not bear a moment
longer. She was going down to his
office. If he was not there or had not
been there-then she would have tc
call up some of his family.
She was slipping on her long steam
] err coat when the front door banged
1 A breathless second was followed by
the sound Of Warren's heavy step.
i He was struggling out of his over
coat; as with an inarticulate cry Heller
rushed into the hall.
/ "Oh, H."
But just then the telephone rang
out DANGEROUSLY.
"Who in thunder knows were

arms, he strobe into the front room t.

not turned off! Had 1t been dripping
all these weeks?
Nora was too careless. They should
never have left her to close the apart
ment, but Warren had insisted that it
would be all right.
How had she left the refrigerator?
A strong, musty odor greeted Helen
as she opened it. Far back were a
couple of shriveled tomatoes. In a
greasy brown paper was piece of
bacon green with mold. And her last
warning to Nora had been to leave
nothing in the ice box!
There were no clean busters. Nora
had left them all in the bottom of the
broom closet, black as floor cloths.
Not having the heart to Investigate
further. Helen turned off the kitchen
light. In the hall closet rag bag, she
found one of Warren's old under
shirts which she took for buster.
Even the toilet things on her dresser
Nora had not put away, and the air
had furnished the silver and rusted
the pins in the cushion.
The first thing tomorrow she would
call up that Danish employment
agency. She would never take Nora
back, of that she was now grimly de.
termined.
The snow blew in from the outside
sill as she raised the window to shake
out the dust cloth. It was piercingly
cold. The wind was growing stronger
