FOR LOVE BY h Rudy M

No" She had mastered herself,
though her voice was little shaky
still. ITS nearly finished, though"
She choked back a lump in her
throat. I'm afraid I'm very rude
l didn't say how glad l was to see
you"
He looked at her and quickly away
again.
I've thought Of you-often," he
said in an odd jerky voice.
i've thought about you, too" Eva
said, trying TO smile. 1T was horrid
after you left"
WAS it," He found II impossible

fort. The Highway House won't
be too cheerful this winter"
"No-and Mrs. Winterdick has
gone away now, you know"
Has -and-and-Philip?"
oh, Philips very busy, he has
had all his fathers affairs TO see to-"
Yes"
There was an awkward silence.
There was a puzzled quicker on
the girls forehead. She was
vaguely conscious of the constra.nt
between herself and this man, but
could not understand or account for
II.
She had spoken the truth when
she said she was glad to see him.
She was only ashamed that he
should have seen hef tears and
distress.
"l1l come with YOU" he inter
with an effort. II ought to ask
you in-but l was just going, and
so Z"
"I'll come with you" he inter
posed hurriedly. He did not want
to see the fiat, and he was afraid
TO trust himself alone with her.
He had known when he left the
Highway House that Eva had been
the great attraction for him there,
he had not .tIessed till today how
strong his love for her had grown.
We'll go and get some tea, shall

to do. Are you going back to the
country tonight?"
"Oh. yes,-I've had to come up
great deal lately to see to furniture
and things"
They were outside now. and Cal
igan had shut the door of the
apartment behind them with
little slam.
They set off together down the
street.

It was not yet four. He remem-
bered that he had been about to
speak to his wife over tho tele-
phone. Had he spoken to her?
He knit his brows hard and tried
TO remember. No, he had not
spoken TO her. not for ages. They
were no longer on speaking terms
He had wronged her, insulted the
very kernel of her womanhood. He
had preferred another woman to
her. He had been unfaithfui. He
walked to the telephone, very
steadily. and gave the number Of
his house at westbury.
1t seemed only a crumb of time
before the voice he loved so we'll
was sounding in his ear. ITS I
Frank" he said
She had no hint OF his state
from the quality OF his voice
She only knew that something was
wrong with him Her instant sur
mise was that he had done some
thing terrible to himself, and that
he had walked her at that I'M
earthly hour TO say sood-by. She
auaked with fear and horror. but
her voice was cool and practical.
What is the matter, Frankf

Mrs. Langham touched his coat
sleeve with the tips Of her fingers.

what we must both hope. isn't it?"
"Of course" he said, ''of course

look triumphant and failed.
Yes" said Mrs. Langham. but
once more in the dry and precise
voice which was natural to her.
"and so has the murderer II he
goes bravely to the gallows."
Neither the wine nor Mrs Her
riot had the power to comfort
Frank Manners, and no more had
the thought that he had been
right about Diana's splendid quail
tiles. and that she would be to
Fem, whether she loved him or
not, all things that she should
have been to him. This thought
indeed hurt him as hardly another
thought had the power to hurt
Once indeed he started to find
her to tell her how that thought
hurt him and how unjust 1t was
for her to have learned how to be
brave and fine and self sacrificing
entirely at his expense But he
only started. He only rose from
his chair. and the wet crash of
tall glass that had been standing
on the arm OF 1t reminded him that
II was three o'clock in the morn
ing.
1t had been one of those nights
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-07-21

when his thoughts had done moth
ing but hound along on the trail
of the injustice that had been done
him. 1t was now the morning of
the day on which Diana was to
receive an interlocutory decree Of
divorce, to become final in all
probability at the end OF six
weeks.
But Manners did not know this.
He knew only in a general way
that something definite was to be
decided soon. Still. he had the
feeling that II Diana was to be
moved from her purpose by any
eleventh-hour appeal he had no
time TO lose.
She was at home he knew. and
he remembered the telephone on
the table by the head of her bed,
and he wondered II by any chance
she had forgotten to disconnect
it for the night
She often did. and complained
bitterly, II the thing rang and
walked her. Should he telephone
or not? He would think 1t over.
Manners Can't Slesp.
He mixed himself fresh drink
and placed 1t on the arm OF his
chair. first moving the chair TO
avoid the wet and jagged mess
which the overturned and broken
glass had made on the floor. When
he walked his legs and body felt
very cold, and the drink on the
arm of his chair no longer dubbed
But he had not really slept; he
had only nodded.

slip hangs straight and narrow

Diana had done more than disarm
her husband. She had given him
the feeling that he had been mag
unanimous. The more ne thought of
how she had blamed herself the less
he found himself blaming her. Be
tween the gravity of the interlocu-
tory and the final DEGREES, he found
not only the wish but the courage
to paint a picture.
CHAPTER Xxx.
1t has been remarked that little
Mrs. Herriot was too wise to marry
a man like Frank Manners; but
when the divorce had been made
final she had the curiosity TO hint
at making their relations perma-
nent in order to see what he would
say.
The hot summer was over and
he had taken her for a long run
up the Hudson to see the first
flashes Of autumn color. He was
free man now, free to marry
whom he chose, free to make a
new life for himself. But he was
not really free.
