Mr.. Fitzgibbons had no desire to

at that time he was not married to
Sara.
He stopped the taxi q short dis

helping Sara out of the car, lit

he waited, his eyes on the hallway.

lacked The hurry and the anger
that had characterized 1t before.
''Good-by," she said in q small
voice.
The man raised his eyes.

She opened the door and stepped
outside, still fighting something
within her that urged her not to

lovers had released each other

I'm her desperation she rushed
to the boarding house where
Harry lived. He was not there;
if she could have visualized him
sitting disconsolate in the Park
on the bench usually occupied by
her and himself and gazing heart
brokenly at the ring he had
planned to give her that evening
as a visible token of their en-
gagement she would have been
even more anxious to find him.
The landlady, who took a pass
ing interest in Harry because he
paid his rent promptly and
caused her no trouble, was a
little surprised at the young
lady's excitement.
Sara did not explain; she
made up her mind that there
was nothing to do but wait for
her discarded lover to return.
So while Harry sat and .brooded
over his folly in asking Sara
never to say a word to Jimmy,
Sara stood and hoped Harry
would arrive before it grew too
late.

said, advancing now with a snarl
to thrust the evidence under her.

friends are-I'll have who 1 want.
an if you don't like it you know
what you can do"
The man faced her, his hands
clenched, there was nothing lover
like about them now; If he could
have struck her down he would
have done so and gloried in it;
her eyes were wide, and as she
talked rapidly and sneeringly she
resembled the virago who drove
Socrates to despair.
Harry did not strike her-but
he clapped his open hand over her
mouth in an effort to shut off
the stream of abuse she was hurl-
ing at him.

YOU are taking the young man

about his feeling that you are
eager to go about with men who
can do great deal for you.
