why. FRS, Fillmore. this IL q de-
lightful surprise" Eleanor glanced up
from. the paper she was reading to
see MI. Corey about to take the vacant
seat beside her in the car. She Smiled
pleasantly. She had not seen him
since the evening at the club. The
man was not very pleasant. but he had
accommodated her by loaning her
money to buy her husband desk at a
sale, and he had been greatly embar-
rassed- on her account and misjudged
by her husband. She certainly owed II
to him to be polite.
1T has been q long time since l saw
you." began her companion brightly.
Yes, have been very closely con-
fined at home"
But you are looking remarkably
we'll" he continued.
II am we'll begin to feel like my
self again. The baby's sickness pulled
me down, of course" Why did the
man smile at her so constantly?
Brown IL very becoming to you. ]
always thought 20 when you were COM
ing to see me SO often" Eleanor looked
fixedly out OF the window.
do you know never knew whether
you got into any trouble with your
husband on account of my stupid care
lessness when l handed you that
bracelet that you would give me as
security"
Got into trouble! What do you
mean?'' The tone was certainly aloof.
Il am not good in choosing my ex-
pressions," fumbled the man, smiling
graciously.
$50 1 have noticed"
II had not told him about the loan
because I did not want him to know
how much effort the present had cost
me-" Eleanor continued, turning her
eyes on him.
Il was sorry It had to happen that
way. Do you know l miss those nice
little visit we used to have when you
were coming to my office so often.
Why don't You drop In once in a while
when you are DOWNTOWN Eleanor did
not reply, but turned her blazing eyes
full upon him, with such effect that he
jumped to his feet mumbling some
thing about having to get off there,
, bowed profoundly and disappeared,
thinking to himself. She has not got
red hair for nothing"
$50 Douglas was right" thought
Eleanor. THE man is a cad"
When she reached home her indig-
nation was still burning SO hotly
against Mr.. Corey that before she took
off her wraps she stood large screen
up in front of the desk that he had
assisted her t. buy.
II wish I need never see the thing
again. 1t will always remind me of
him."
What have you screened off my
favorite piece Of furniture for?" asked
Douglas, lifting the screen away. Il
want this so l can use it."
II did not want to see the desk. I
met Mr.. Corey this afternoon" She
| stopped.
We'll. Is my desk to be screened
from sight every time you meet that
gentleman" laughed Douglas.
Don't call him a gentleman. oh.
Douglas, you were right about him,
he"
What happenedr
He came and sat by me in the car
coming home, and was pleasant to
him as usual though he is very dis
agreeable. but what do you think he
asked me to do?" Eleanor put her
arms around her husbands neck and
hid her face on his shoulder. "He
asked me to come to see him at his
office; said he missed our little Wis
it's Eleanor felt her husbands jaw
harden against her cheek, but he said
nothing. 1T makes me love you more
than ever when see what other men
are capable Of" she continued
Il would not say men II were you.
That word should mean something y
That's true" she assented.
