On his breast she cried Just a little
and told him she loved him dearly
and that it broke her heart to have
him say such cruel things to her. He
kissed her, making no other answer.
For several days he was so busy
he had no time for anything but his
work. He was so tired at night that
he was glad to read his paper and
then go to bed. He was determined
to make good in the real estate de-
partment, a part of the business he
really enjoyed.
Bruce had striven to argue Muriel
out of her desire to always be alone.
Finding that of no avail he had
riduculed the idea, laughingly telling
her he trusted her with anyone. This
only added to the martyr-glow of her
determination. And so life crawled
on. Bad nerves, often sulks replaced
the perfect good nature of his earlier
days with her.
He spoke of giving a party, repay

he would forget or feel he couldn't
afford it, shrugged her shoulders.

Chapter XIV

Chapter XIV
Muriel went to the party in spite
of her positive declaration that she
would noe. Every moment of the long
evening when the others, especially
Bruce, were 50 happily enjoying
themselves was positive torture TO
her. She had only consented to go
because she was afraid TO let Bruce
20 without her and he would go
afraid in a sickening way that was
almost physical. Yet the torture she
suffered, while there could not have
been exceeded by her imaginings had
she remained at home.
At dinner Bruce sat between Ann
Mason and a young girl of perhaps
nineteen, Grace Northrup. She was
handsome elfish thing, hair black as
night, big black eyes and careless,
flirtatious ways that meant nothing
but love of fun. Ann was lovely as
hostess, gracious, smiling, looking her
prettiest in a sheer blue gown. Inc
three laughed continuously while
Muriel, at the other end of the sup
per table, scarcely heard what Tom
Mason said as he tried to interest
her. Mr.. Gormley, on her left, had
given up in despair.
She never took her sombre eyes
from the end of the table where she
could see her husbands profile and
made no effort to render herself
agreeable.
After supper they danced. -
If she had suffered jealous agonies
while they played bridge before, even
though she had sat at the same table
with Bruce, she suffered far more
when she saw him dancing with
Grace Northrup, Ann Mason and
Others. She had refused to dance on
the plea of headache. Even when
Bruce urged she had refused and in
a low voice begged him to take her
home.
"Nonsense Fun's just beginning :"
had been his reply as he whirled Ann
Mason, whom he voted the best
dancer in the room, to the centre OF
the floor. Don't be the original Mrs:
Gloom everywhere we CO." They had
been scarcely anywhere, so the re-
mark rather lacked a point. =.
Miserably unhappy, Muriel resisted
every effort made to give her pleas
ure, to draw her into the spirit of the
party which was livening up as 1t
grew later.
"He must go home-I'll make him, J"
she muttered, white to the lips, as
he waltzed by. his arm around Grace
Northrup. who was looking saucily
up into his face. Both of them laughed
gayly as they passed Muriel without see
ing her.
1t was two o'clock before she got
a chance to speak to Bruce again.
"You must take me home now. My
head aches terribly. Always an APP
peal to his generosity had been eff
fective. "Im really ILL.,"
Unwillingly he consented. But he
was unlike his usual self. He did not
tell her he was sorry or pity her. She
leaned her head against his shoulder
in the darkness of the cab and said:
"Never ask me to golto such thing
again." .
"I won't! You acted like bear
with a sore head all the time! / was
mortified to death when / saw how
they all tried to be nice to you and
you snubbed them. But there's one
other thing. I've given in TO you even
