When she had left DR.. Langwell

good-by for a night, Nancy sig
nailed a taxi and directed that she
be driven to the hotel where she
and Gerry had frequently passed a
week while waiting for their apart

summer holiday.
As the machine whirled through

her thoughts to a serious realiza.

She knew quite as plainly as
IL an oracle had spoken that she
would not see Langwell again. He
was not the man to come crawl
Ing back after a rejection of his
proposal: nor was he the, type who
would fight to win the woman he
loved-if the emotion he felt toward
her could be termed love"
Women had been too easy for
him to justify any effort on his
part; moreover, Nancy knew that
her refusal to consider a divorce
from Gerry and a marriage with
him had been a tremendous blow
to his vanity. In his complacent,
assured way, she knew that he
never for an instant doubted that
she would accept his proposal eager

LOOKING back on it all. Nancy
drew breath of relief. She was
grateful to him for the way he had
taken her refusal. though she real
lied quite well that his calm ac-
| ceptance had not been from con-
sideration for herself. or from the
same chivalrous impulse to spare
! her pain that had actuated Major
Desmond in his withdrawal from her
life
Rather. IL was LangwelTs means
OF protecting his own vanity, of Civ
ing her to understand that the whole
affair was a casual matter to him.
Not for a moment would he have
permitted her to think that her re-
fusal made any difference to him.
The difference between the two
men was summed up in that single
motive.
As Nancy looked back upon it.
her lip curled with whitening scorn.
She was glad that She was free of
the spell. She was immeasurably
thankful that when the crucial
moment had arrived. the feeling
that she had toward Langweu, and
which she had feared was love. had
vanished like a mirage.
II it had been otherwise, she
would have felt the keenest dis
loyalty all of her life. both toward
Edith and toward Gerry.
She resolved to write to Edith
that very night. Edith letter had
remained unanswered because she
had felt that there was nothing to
say. No matter how casually she
had worded it, Nancy knew that
Edith would read between the
lines.
Now she would be able to write

his moment Of defeat, he would
turn to his wife for consolation and
gradually there might reawaken in
him some Of the love which he mus,
nave felt when he married her.
The taxi deposited Nancy at the
motel. She was crossing the lobby
toward the desk when someone
touched her lightly on the arm.
She turned to find Comics maid
