Wilbur had bought for Baldwin &

The sight shocked him; he had
not seen them together before; he
was struck with distinct unpleas-

set, frowning and intent, his eyes
fixed upon the narrow passage be-
tween the travelling cable car and
the curb.
''D-damn." The word slipped
froni Philip unconsciously.
1t was all wrong; it was vulga-,
and improper; it offended him.
Wilbur ought to be at home with

her; his place was with his wife.
