one" she sighed. "and written as if
he hadn t a minute to spare for me-"
Even his sending it special did not
comfort her. He had forgotten her so
long.
All the next day Ruth went about her
work with an alert mind, but heavy
heart. The task Mr.. Mandell had given
her to do was difficult one, and need
ed all her attention. Resolutely she
tried to put thoughts of Brian from
her, But after she had finished for the
day, she went to a theatre and forgot,
for time, that there was such person
as Mollie King, whom she believed was
trying to inveigle her husband to spend
his time with her.
Like most wives, Ruth blamed the
other woman, instead of blaming her
husband. That Brian had sought out
Mollie, not Molie Brian, would not go.
She had found that she could get
home day sooner than she had expect
ed to. At first she was going to wire
Brian to meet her. Then she figured
that she would get up to the apartment
just about the time he either came
home to dinner, or that he came in to
dress to go out. Either way she would
just catch him. If he had planned to go
out she would just catch him. If he
had planned to 60 out she would go too.
She arrived on time and took a taxi
to the apartment. No one was there.
He is going out and has let Craw-
ford go home" she said to herself as
she hurriedly prepared her bath. She
would be all freshened up by the time
he came in.
But she had her bath, was dressed and
waiting, and yet no Brian. She had
eaten scarcely anything on the train
and now hunger added to her impa-
ticnce.
Where could he bes By and by she
went to the ice box. 1t was almost
empty. Evidently there had been little
cooking done. But she made herself a
cup of tea and some toast, then sat
down by the window to wait for him.
She would make him take her out for
supper. She almost wished she hadn t
tried to surprise him. She recalled

of her feeling for him.

she had not intended to do it, she went
way back to the hotel at noon time to
get the letter.
No, nothing for you, Mrs Haekett, "
the clerk told her, then, noting the dis
appointment on her face, added, "there
is another mail in half an hour. You
may get something on that"
The half hour gone, she asked again.
Still nothing.
Sadly she returned to her task, try
ing to cheer herself by saying it would
surely be there when she got back at
night. But her disappointment was
keen. She was nearing the third day
Of her stay and not a line from Brian
save only that short wire.
The thought that he might be with
Mollie King stung her. If that were
the reason he was negleeting to write,
he must care very little for her; and
IA good deal for Mollie King. This
thought obtruded the entire afternoon,
and when at dinner time there was no
letter, she easily persuaded herself that
it was Mollie Kings fault.
She had intended going to play to
help pass the time, but now she had no
heart for it. As she pat thinking of
Brian, she remembered what child
he was in some things; just a big sulky
boy when things went wrong, and. Of
her determination not to be angered by
anything he did.
She wrote him again, touching light

nothing from him save the short tele-

sitting in secluded corner of River

she was Yet she tortured herself with
jealous thoughts till she went to sleep.
In the morning, the fourth Of her stay
