CHAPTER xxxvI.

I was as | had feared. From the
day Robert was appointed assist
ant district attorney l saw even
less of him than before. Now he was
scarcely ever at home save for meals,
often not then. Had it not been for my
precious babies, the care they needed, L
should have been desperate, as well as
terribly lonely. But with two children
and a wofully inefficient maid | was
kept very busy. Robert had decided
that we could not afford to take Martha
back, although she wanted to come.
Betty was about three months old
when one day after doing a little shop
ping l stopped at the office intending to
walk home with Robert-if he were go
ing home.
As | went into the tiny outer office
woman sat there waiting. One OF the
loveIiest women l had ever seen. When
l opened the door the woman started
and went very pale. Then she arose
abruptly and commenced to pace the
floor with quick nervous steps. l was
Just about 10 speak to her when Rob-
