him. And this was rather. for his sake
than Leila's.
| Leila was just informing Bayard
that the butcher had delivered the
mornings order no farther than the
freight elevator, and instructed his
boy to send the meat up only after
the money came down.
| Bayard had no money and the cha
grin of his situation was bitter. He
snarled at Leila: ''Tell the cub to take
the meat back and eat it himself
Then I'll go over and butcher the
butcher"
Leila dismissed the boy with
| faint-hearted show of indignation.
Then she came back and said, "And
now we have no meat to eat"
! Bayard was reduced to philosophy,
the last resort Of the desperate:
"Well, the vegetarians say we ought
never to eat meat, anyway. We're
poor, but, my Lord we're in grand
company. look at this cartoon of
| CesareS in the Sun-Father Knicker-
booker turning his pockets inside out
and not penny in them. New York
city has to borrow money on short
time notes at high interest to pay it's
own current bills.
| Look at Europe. All the countries
over there were stumbling along un-
der such debt that they wondered
how they could meet the interest on
the next pay day. And now they are
mOrtgaglng their great-grandsOns'
property to pay for shooting their
sons.
Its the old Thirteenth Command
nent that we've all been smashing
to flinders. And, my God! what a
punishment we're all getting! And
it's only beginning"
Iney sat down to a pitiful meal
meatleSs, maidless, mirthless- hardly
more than the raw turnips and cold
water of Colonel Sellers. Leila
fetched what victual there was.
After the meal Bayard shrugged
into his overcoat and left without
kissing his wife or his sister goodby.
Daphne and Leila went out to the
kitchen, set the dishes in the pan,
ana the pan under the faucet. Leila
turned on the hot water. Daphne was
glad to be at work.
There's one good thing about a
small NEAL she chirped. "it makes
less dishes to wash" Then, with as
much trepidation as if she had been
the accused instead of the accuser she
faltered: "Oh, say, Leila, do you re-
member man named Wetherell?"
Leila dropped plate. She said it
was hot. But other plates had been
hot.
"Wetherell? Wetherell? she pom
dered, aloud, with an unconvincing
uncertainty. Il believe l do remem-
Der meeting somebody of that name.
English wasn't he?"
"Very."
"Oh, yes. He was at Newport, l
think. Why?"
"Oh, nothing. I met him last night
and he thought I was you"
"How could he?" Leila gasped. "We
don't look the least alike.''
1T was in the dark"
I'm the dark! Good heavens |!
Where?"
Already Leila had gained the wealth
er gauge. Daphne had to confess her
outing with Duane, the crash of the
collision and the return to Yonkers
in Wetherell's car. Leila took advan-
tage OF the situation to interpolate:
Good heavens! How could YOU?
You OF all peop.e! And with Tom
Duane! What would Clay think?"
Daphne knew that she had no right
to reproach Leila for having known
Wetherell in Newport She had no
right even to suspect that Leila had
overstepped any of the bounds of pro-
priety. And still she was not con-
vinced of Leila's innocence She was
merely silenced.

Wetherell came close and said
Did he say Mrs. Kip? I can't see
you, but hope you are the fascinat-
ing Mrs. Kip met at Newport. Have
you forgotten me so soon?'

"She is my brothers wife," said
Daphne.
"Oh, you don't tell mel" Wetherell
gulped, and his abrupt silence was full
OF startling implications that alarmed
Daphne, angered Duane, ane threw
Wetherell into confusion.
Duane helped Daphne to alight from
the derelict and transferred her to
the other car, where Wetherell intro
duced them to mass Of shadow
whose name, "Mrs. Bethany" meant
nothing to Daphne and everything to
Duane.
Duane arranged to have a wreckine
crew sent out to his roadster, and
chartered touring car and a chauf-
feur for the trip into New York.

INJURED prayers for forgiveness be-

her into and for the things he had
! overworked. She had been rushed
from adventure to adventure of soul
and body. She had been invited to
enter a career of gorgeous sin, and
she mad been swept along the edge OF
a fearful disaster.
Mrs. Chivvis met Daphne at the
door. Her recent affection had turned
again to scorn, and she glowered at
Daphne, who crept to her room in
hopeless acceptance of the role of ad.
venturess.
Tired as she was she could not
| sleep. The clangor Of the morning
called her to the window. A gray day
broke on a weary town. The prob.
lem of debt and food and new clothes
dawned again. Everything was gray
before her.
Wisdom whispered her to take
Duane at his word and try the great
adventure. How could it bring he1
to worse confusion than she founC

ing mail arrived and brought her q

hand. She opened it and took from il

looked straight at her. She recalled
that once she had stood back of the

She made him smile like that. What
