A vision of a dingy fiat, with
cheap furniture. the smell OF
greasy soup simmering on the
stove. and a crying baby, swiftly
rose before her, and she shudder-
ed with quick revulsion, shutting
her eyes tightly, sucking in q

''I know, DEAR, I murmured.
'You would. You'd stand by
your bargain.
"The whole city's talking about
IT," she repeated in desperate
voice. Everybody knows. You
can't think what the shame and
humiliation are"
My lips twisted wryly. The
whole city was not yet talking
about Jim and me. Only our lit
tie group Of intimates guessed.
But facing the day when the
world might know and pity me
too, / felt twinge of such pity
for Mabel that / wanted to take
her in my arms and defy the
world to keep her from the hap
! piness to which she had a right.
I hated myself for the hurt I
must have given Mabel when I
mentioned Parks name. I Ionged
at the same time to assure her
that there was no one else for.
hin1--that he still cared--and
that though I didn't know how he

lieved in her now.

No pride between US. Promise"
II promise" said Mabel. There
was a sob in her voice. Her eyes
were gentle and the hand that
clasped mine was az soft and re-
Taxed as that Of a child.
The door opened after a gentle
knocking which scarcely had
sounded on my consciousness.
Ralph Lacy stood on the thresh-
old calling:
'A1l ready to start out for our
directors meeting"
He cut his words short as he
caught sight Of Mabel. And she.
facing Parks closest friend, stiff
fened under my eyes. The old,
curt. aloof Mabel was suddenly
where the relenting, gentle
woman had been.
Mabel has always had poise and
dignity. Ralph has strength and
understanding. So when they met
in my office, and I saw Mabel
freeze back to the icy control
with which she is facing a COS
siping world, felt she was throw
ing away a chance to reap the
benefit Of Ralph's friendship. She
arose with the utmost statliness
and held out a firm hand to
Ralph.
"How do you do. Mr.. Lacey?"
she said casually, and with the
manner she had used to make
me feel that our meeting was of
no importance to her. eve over

little business chat with Anne
and though knew she had more
important business matters ahead
I fingered. I'll run along now.
God day. Anne. I'll be in to-
morrow to finish up our business.
Good day, Mr.. Lacey"
Sweeping aside any possible
attempt at friendliness on Ralph's
part, Mabel made for the door
with something in her air that
defies us to bring one personal
note into a conversation which
she had clearly determined should
be casual and Indifferent. But
Ralph is too kindly to take Of
Tense. He spoke with a warm
graciousness.

Buchanan. Won't you dine with
