And you don't mean you're driv-

Suppose we get in and give the
lady a chance to demonstrate her
skill" Jack said. still smiling, draw
ing her toward the tonneau as he
spoke.
Again that indehnable note in his
voice. But | had no time for con-
temptation of it, for naturally

tor technique, and starting my car
and swinging around to the main
road took all my attention.
No one spoke for minute or two
Then l heard Katherine's voice,
low, hesitating, from the rear seat,
Jack, dear, won't you lay that
silk muffier across the back OF your
neck. You know how the wind at

will you please allow me to. be
the Judge for the necessity of that?"
The words we're equally low, con-
trolled, but simply dripping with
icy annoyance. | knew then that |
hadn't been mistaken in those other
intonations. Jack was in the habit
of speaking to Katherine in this un-
pleasant manner.
My heart ached with sympathy for
my little friend, but not because OF
Jacks habit of speech. That simply
was one of her marital annoyances.
Every wife has them. and every
husband No doubt Jack and his
grievances. But the thing | could
not forgive Jack was that he should
humiliate Katherine by speaking to
her in this manner before me.
A wife can forgive husband al
most anything if he only preserves
the fiction before outsiders that he
is the same devoted attentive
cavalier he was in the days of their
courtship and early marriage. And
in this case Jacks offence was the
more grievous because Katherine
knew of my brother-cousin's feeling
toward me in the days before he met
and loved her.
That Katherine loved me truly,
dearly. | knew. | also knew that
she had never bothered her head
about that old dead feeling. But it
was not in human nature for her to
accept equally a slight from her
husband in my hearing. | could
have shaken Jack until his teeth

satirical mood.
