"She'd get over being sick, though,
wouldn't she," said Rose, 'safter
awhile? And then don't you think
she'd be glad?'
Rodney laughed. 'The sort of wom
an I've been talking about" he said,
would feel, when all Is said, that
she'd got a gold brick"
Rose poured his coffee with a
steady hand. They were in the library
now.
If that's So" she said, "then the
kind of woman you've been talking
about has already got profession.
AS Doctor Randolph says, she's cashed

1t was almost her first contribution
to the talk that evening. She had
asked a few questions and said the
things a hostess has to say. The
other three were manifestly taken by
surprise.
But surprise was not the only eff
feet she produced. Her husband had
never seen her look just like that be-
fore. The flash in her eyes, the splash
of bright color in her cheeks, the ex-
citing timbre of her voice, was new
to him and very alluring.
Barry saved him the necessity of
trying to answer, by taking up the
cudgels himself. Rodney didn't feel
like answering, nor, for the moment,
like listening to Barry. His interest
in the discussion was eclipsed, for the
moment, by the thrill and wonder of
his wife's beauty. For the next half
hour she matched wits with Barry
Lake very prettily.
When Jane declared that they must
go, her husband protested.

go, too? But she thought not.

CHAPTER xI.
a pefeat.

The gown which Rodney had spoken
of apologetically as coronation robe,
was put away; the maid sent to bed.
Rose, huddled into big, quilted bath
robe, and in spite of the comfortable
warmth of the room, feeling cold clear
into the. bones-cold and tremulous,
and sure that when she tried to talk
her teeth would chatter-sat waiting
for Rodney to come back from seeing
the Lakes part way home.
She gave last panicky SILVER
when she heard his latchkey, then
pulled herself together.
"Come in here, Roddy," she called
as he reached the head of the stairs.
'I want to talk about something"
He had hoped, evidently, to find her
nbed and fast asleep. His cautious
footballs on the stairs made clear his
intention not to waken her. "Oh, I'm
sorry" he said, pausing at the door to
her dressing-room, but not coming in.
II didn't know you meant to sit up
for me. If I'd known you We're wait
ing, I'd have come back sooner"
Il haven't minded" she told him.
''Ive been glad of a chance to think.
But now oh, please come
in and shut the door,"
He did come In, but with manifest
reluctance, and he stayed near the
door in an attitude of arrested de-
partnre. It's pretty late" he pro
tested with nonchalance that rang
a little fiat. "You must be awfully
tired. Hadn't we better put off our

wouldn't answer. He didn't want to
talk TO anybody. But no one can re-
slst the mechanical bell ringers they
use In exchanges nowadays.--the even
spaced ring and walt, ring and wait,
so manIfestly incapable OF discourage
ment. AT the end OF forty-flve Sec
onds, he snatched open his door,
punched the jack into Its socket,
caught up the head piece. and bell
lowed "Hellol" into the dangling
tfansmitter.
And five minutes later he was call

But he sat there frowning In puz-
zled sort of way for half minute.
Roses voice had certainly sounded
queer. He was sure she hadn't
planned anything else for tonight. He
distinctly remembered her saying just
before he left for the office, that they'd
have the evening to themselves. And
II was Incredible that she minded his
bringing home two old friends like
the Lakes on the spur of the moment
to take pot-luck. Oh, well, you
couldn't tell about peoples voices over
the phone. There must have been
something funny about the connection.
An opportune taxi just passing the
entrance to his Office building as he
came out. enabled Rodney to better
the fifteen minutes he'd allowed for
getting home. But In spite Of that
fact. he found Rose rather splendldly
gowned for her expected guests.

"It's story about magistrate who

judgment as follows:
