would forego the noon meal.
I made sorry enough breakfast.
Valerie's little dog, Rammi, had
come along and she put the tiny
little white rat of a toy Egyptian
on the edge of the tray to lap up
the vegetables and meat scraps. This
for me was the last straw.
Then I had to stay in the room

intricate toilette that kept us housed

Jim, your wife's shocked. Is it

in her creamy voice.
"Oh, Anne's a Puritan-but she'll

Delaine and the limousine We're in
front of Samuel Leighton's house.
David had driven the car a short
way uptown and back, just to be
sure that he understood it thorough
ly and that his hands had not lost
their cunning. On this point at least
he had no cause for nervousness.
Nevertheless, he felt uncomfort-
able as he glanced up at the win
dows of his employers home. He
did not know what a chauffeur
should do at this juncture. Should
he ring the bell and announce his
presence, or should he wait outside
until it suited Miss Leighton's pleas
ure to come out?
At the end of five minutes the
front door opened and his employ
er's daughter appeared. He sprang
down from the drivers seat and
opened the door of the car for her.
He knew that chauffeurs did this,
and was aware that it was expected
of him. He felt as if he ought to
uncover his head at the same time,
as he had always been most courtly
in his manners to women. But he
recalled his present position, and
touched his hat as he had seen
coachmen do.
Miss Leighton paused, her foot on
the step of the car.
Smith," she said, "of course you
do not know yet what my wishes
are. But 1 always like my chauf-
feur to announce to the maid that
he has come. Hereafter ring the
bell as soon as you arrive and tell
Norah that you are here"
Yes, Miss"
She stepped into the car. sat
down, and looked at him as if wait
ing for some action on his part.
For a moment he was all confusion.
Plainly something more was ex-
pected of him. All at once he no
ticed the fur motor-robe, and, un-
folding it, threw it over her knees.
Thanks she murmured.
She directed him to drive to an
on Park avenue. There she
ordered him to tell the hallboy to
to Mrs. Duffield that the
car was here.

CHAPTER CCI.


1t wasn't until Saturday morning
that 1 had any way of guessing
whether or no a weekend spent
with the Cosbys would be pleasant
Friday evening was taken up in
motoring to the Inlet House, dining
there and getting settled. That
evening was too busy and rushed to
have any particular flavor of its
own-pleasant or otherwise.
1 woke Saturday morning with
that queer feeling of uncertainty
that generally greets one in a
strange bed. The room was stepped
in gray, yet the hush of early morn
ing wasn't over the world. Lifting
myself on one elbow L peered at
Jim's watch dangling from it's chain
looped over the head board of his
bed. Nine. Not early a bit.
l got up and tip-toed into the
bathroom Then / found out that in
stead of our room being the dark
and dreary inside room l had
thought, this was a gray and desc
late day. Cold rain slanted down.
Little gusts of wind rustled the
green-tipped branches of bushes
and trees. The window-shade, fly
ing out in the wide space where the
top sash had been drawn down,
tapped back and forth just out of
reach.
Everything seemed horribly de-
pressing. Yet l had known gray
days in the country before. Days
of sewing and going bustling about
the household tasks. Days spread
out happily toward an evening of
apples and nuts and cider, with a
little tocking- g-darning and patch
ing and reading of news aloud to
make everyone coZy and CHEEKY.
But 1 didn't fool myself about
this day. 1t would be nothing like
those l remembered so longingly.
1t wasn't.
Before I was dressed Valerie
Cosby telephoned that 1 must break
fast with her in her room, since
Lane insisted that he and Jim would
shoot a little pool after they'd had
breakfast down in the grill and had
read the papers. Now breakfast in
any bedroom is a pet aversion of
mine. But when it's some one else's
bedroom-words fail me, but ideas
don't. | knew what Jim expected
of me, however, so ! accepted with
my best imitation of alacrity.
1 found Valerie propped up on
three or four pillows. She was
dressed in a shadowy affair of yell
low chiffon and swansdown. Wound
around her head was an oriental
turban of cerise and gold. She
looked ready for fancy dress ball.
But her room was strictly in neg
ligee. Neglected would be more like
it. Bits of lingerie were flung over
chair backs and across bureau tops. |
Boxes of powder spilled amid brushes |
and mirrors and amber monogram
med in gold. Cigarette stubs and cold |
cream shared a window-sll. The |
covers on what was evidently Lane |
Cosby's bed were crumpled in a |

her-and turning to me with the
crease between his eyes just show
ing, added, I'D like to speak to
you a minute, Anne"
He led me aside under the unwav-
ering eyes of Valerie Cosby and said
in a low angry voice:
why don't you eat when other
folks do? If you want lunch, order
it in your room and pay for it. You
know were guests and we can hard
ly suggest meals our hosts don't
order. But I beg of you, Anne, just
for this once, don't insist on having
everything your own way"
I thought of that dreadful break
fast for which 1 hadn't been offered
a single choice of my own. Yet I
didn't answer Jim because my voice
couldn't have found a way to force
itself out of my throat. With start
realized that 1 was thinking about
the petty annoyance of the day, and
passing by the big trouble that had
once worried me so. Jim was pre-
pairing to mamble again. Didn't 1
care?

"Oh, no." he hastened to reassure
her. Its only the result of an ac-

She looked at him searchingly.

But at that instant, to Davids
relief, Mrs. Duffield came out of the
