A my husbands lips sought mine
~ In a long kiss of reconciliation
there came to me in fash oil
illuminative understanding the reaiiza'
ton of what 1t had cost Dicky's STUB
born pride to come back to me after the
determined stand he had taken con
cerning my refusal to tell hin: the rea-
son for my emotion over the newspaper
the morning after Milly Stockbridge' s
death.
With a sudden reckless fear of conse'
quences I resolved to emulate his gen
erosity. 1 would at the first opportunity
give him the information he had de-
manded.
Not that meant to tell him the whole
story OF poor Miily Stockbridge's f'end-
tsh. unreasoning jealousy. Woman-liie,
j made mental reservations In my con-
templated revelation. for I feared the
effect Of his hearing the whole unpleas-
ant tale. But l was sure that in the in
terval which must elapse before Dicky
and could be alone long enough for
any extended confidential talk 1 could
map out story which would satisfy
his wounded vanity at my retlcence and
yet leave untold the unpleasant details
1t was advisable he should not know.
! stirred In his arms. the clasp OF
which fairly hurt me. so rough and
compelling was It, and put my lips
against his ear
"Dicky. dear" I whispered softly.
don't think you are the only one who
ia going to be generous. IL will tell
you about that morning Just as soon as
We get chance TO be alone"
He held me off. looked at me smiling.
SO there was something. after all,
he said quizzlcally. Then voice and face
sobered suddenly:
Please remember I am not asking
your confidence" he said quietly.
Il know l said remorsefully. for
there was that in hts voice which told
me how sorely had hurt him. But
want to give IL to YOU"
