Her mind was quite made up to

traversed Broadway and other world
known arteries. and felt tribe dupi-

piloted her to famous cafes. and to
equally famous theaters. She mace
sundry purchases In magnificent shops.
The huge conglomeration or sights
and sounds made an unforgettable I'M
preston upon her. She sensed keenly
the colossal magnitude Of II all. But
she felt distinct wave OF relief when
they were Granville bound once more.
In a week they were settled COM
fortably in a domicile of their own

house. And since the social demands
on Mrs. William wagstaff's time grew
apace, a capable maid and cook were
added to the Wagstaff establishment.
Thus she was relieved of the onus OF
homework. Her time was wholly her
own, at her own disposal or Bits, as
she elected.
But by imperceptible degrees they
came to take diverse roads In the swirl
of life which had caught them up.
There were so many little woman AT
fairs where a man was superfiuous.
There were others which Bill fatty re-
fused to attend. "Hen parties" he
dubbed them. More and more he re-
manned at home with his books.
Sometimes Hazel caught herself
wondering II they were getting as
much out of the holiday as they should
have gotten. as they had planned to
get when they were struggling through
that interm,nable winter. She was.
But not Bill If she ventured to give
tea, he fed the house as IL from the

But so long as Bill found Granville

But she could never quite bring her
self to put 1t In so many words to Bill.
The cycle Of weeks brought them to
January. They had dropped into some
thing of routine In their daily lives.
Bills interest and participation In so
cial affairs became negligible. When
he was not absorbed In book OF
magazine. he spent his time In some
downtown haunt, having acquired
membership In club as a concession
to their manner OF life. Once he came
home with flushed face and overnight
eyes, radiating an odor Of whisky.
Hazel had never seen him drink to ex-

what is the difficulty. Bill?"
"Bill is opposed to the whole plan"
he said. pursuing up his lips with evil
dent disapproval Of Bill Wagstaff and
all his works. HE seems to feel that
we should not have taken this step.
He declares that no more stock must

must peg along in the little one-horse

a shame We could make the Free

He spread his hands in gesture Of
real regret.s
"Bill's fine fellow" he said. "and
one of my best friends. But he's a
hard man to do business with. He
takes a very peculiar view of the mat
