THE THOROUGHBRED

She couldn't have told aft,rward
whether he hli obcyed her or not.
But from some quarter or other the
talk started atsl'n. She got her breath
once more. The momentary panic
passed. llut she felt curiously limp
all the rest ~ the evening, ana not
once did sho meet Frcd's eye.
II was with a mixture Of relief and
dread that she saw her party begin
ing to break up. The relief was the
stronger, until the front door had
closed FOR the last time. But when
1t did, she had wild impulse To
rush out and call back that last pair
OF guests.
When Fred came into the drawing
room and she tried To speak to him
her teeth were chattering What she
said was quite casual, though. and her
voice matched IL.
Did Howard Collier tell YOU" she
asked. that they're thinking ot COM
ing out here for year n they can
get n house that's what they want2"
He said, Il don't know. Yes, I
think he did."
His own voice was abscnt--lcvel-
lifeless again, just AS It had been be-
fore she sent him away to dress. and
he turned from her and leaned an ell
bow on the mantolpiece.
A frantic evaporation took her. but
1t hid, for a moment, behind "A pa
tient sigh and the statement that
since she was very tired she thought
she would go TO bed. But. against

Judgment, she added as she moved
toward the door, 81 Just cant stand

yours any more. Fred. I'm sorry, but
| can't l can't stand IL"
At that he rounded upon her,
''Sit down" he commanded. i've
got some things TO tell you"
The power Of habit Is a wonderful
thing. Neither her voice. nor its in
fiection, nor the words she chose, at
fOrded any indication OF what was
boiling within her.
She said evenly, "Oh. not tonight.
Fred. You're tired and blue. and I'm

"A good nights sleep!" he repeated.

She sat down more suddenly than
was her wont, gripped the arm OF the
chair and gazed at him with an un-
cOmprchenuing stare.

with what?"
He jerked his hands from his
pockets and flung them out In a
frantic gesture.

CHAPTER III.

TT was IL o'clock that night before
she saw him again. except in the
presence OF their guests And
during all those hours, whenever
her gaze rested upon her hus-
bands face, and whenever his 'oice
came clearly to her ears In a lull Of
voices OF the others, heart and throat
felt that some clutch, followed by the
same dun sense OF outrage that this
should be so. And all the while her
voice went ON sounding small and far
away. and her smile felt stiff
As a matter OF objective fact, she
knew that she IVES in good form.
Howard Collier, at her right being a
comparative stranger, did not offar

Worthing, on her lcft-Carter, the
bachelor-that ne should betray an I'M
easy preoccupation with what she was
saying to Howard Collier while Martha
Walters, at his left, was trying her
prettiest to flirt with him, and should
fairly snatch at the smallest straw OF
an opportunity to turn back to her,
was an indication worth heeding.
But the recognition OF this fact
brought her none of the mild elation
she'd naturally have felt. 1t hard
ened. eXcited-almost exnspcrated
her. It was, perhaps, responsible
for the attitude she took when the
topic they were all discussing these
days came up, the Grahams' divorce.
Perhaps. too, 1t led her to put edge
enough into her voice so that all the
table stopped TO listen, and presently
joined in.
