days out of lifetime Oh, l know
it's impossible. But you asked what
was thinking about, and that was 1t. y
do you want me to do 1t, Joe?"
The simplicity Of the question. and
the intensity of the emotion that pro-
PEELED 1t, literally, for an instant,
stopped the beat of his heart. His
eyes filled with tears, but through the
blur he could see hers, wide with a
sense of great adventure, gazing up
at him.
II don't know" he said. 81 don't
know whether I want you to or not. "
Her arms frightened about him and
she uttered shaky laugh. II love
you for saying that. I'll come, Joe.
I'll give you those two days We've
got to be starting back now. You 60

ter not see me like this"
Joe made his arrangements, and
they caught the train and contrived,
very tidily, how her meeting with
Alice Wentworth at six should be
made plausible.
Violet managed her meeting with
Alice Wentworth with entire success.
But Alice made her jump, though, by
saying-holding her off in both hands
for a good look, you've been deceiv-
ing John. Violet. I've never seen you

and give him your trunk-checks, too"
BY the time they arrived at the big
brown house on Riverside drive Violet
was near enough to her natural self.
There was nothing the matter with
her, except she couldn't sleep.
Il guess you had better telephone
John, if you feel equal to it." Alice
told her, when she had gone up to
Violet's room, ''he's been trying to get
you all day."
There was a long silence. Finally
Violet said, Il see what happened
John thought l was coming on the
Broadway. 1 was, but 1 missed 1t.
And he always laughs at me for miss

"My dear" said Alice, "you can't
talk across the room to me- let alone
to Chicago. I'll wire John that you've
got here all right-or telephone. If

"No. Wire Is better" Violet muir.

Despite their protests, she did come
down to dinner and played bridge fu-
riously all the evening. It was her
last night out. she told them, and the
only thing In the world she dreaded
was going to bed. Doctor Brown could
make her do 1t, but nobody else could.
And, indeed, when she knocked on

negligee, nor had she lain In her bed.
She was beaten by then. While
fearing what Joe might do in his rage
at being disappointed she resolved to
go back to John. And so she told
Alice that she must take the first
train back to Chicago.

CHAPTER TX
Below the Falls.

From the ninth of October, when
Joe telegraphed Jennie for informa-
ton on the totals ef the drafts that
were coming in, his office heard no
word of him until within a week of
the expiration of Williamson's offer.
1t was an anxious time for Jennie,
saved from being desperate only by a
continual asseveration of her faith
that Joe would turn up in time, bring
ing some sort of means of salvation
with him.
But on Tuesday, the second of No
vember, just as she was getting ready
to leave the Office at the end of the
afternoon, a boy from the Strstford
hotel brought her o note written In
lead-pencil, in a hand so little like
Joe's that momentarily she doubted
the signature. 1t asked her simply to
come up and see him as soon as she
could, telling her the number OF the
room he was in. He had scrubbed the
words, "It's all right" after signing,
but this she took as referring merely
to the propriety of her visit.
With a heart-sickening premonition
that everything that mattered had
utterly gone wrong, she went along
with the bellboy to the hotel and
had MIN show her up TO Joe's room.
He called in answer to her knock,
"Come In, Jennie, if that's you"
1t was then nearly six o'clock, fully
dark long since out-of-doors, yet his
room was unlighted save by small
night-lamp upon the bed-stand. Joe,
all alone, was sitting in an easy chair
that had been drawn up to one of the
windows, rug across his knees. BE
looked round at her and nodded toward
another chair that shared the en-
brasure. but made no other move.
IT was all she could do not to weep.
II did not seem possible that the six
weeks since she had last seen him, in
Fargo, could have made such devas-
tating changes in the man she knew.
He was shrunken, chilly-huddled I'M
der his rug; the hand he finally Of
fered her was slack and his, voice spir-
itless. despite the pitiable effort he
made at his familiar manner. She
stood speeches., holding the limp
hand he had given her in both her own.
"Oh, let's get it over With" be ex-
claimed at last. "Sit down. You want
TO know what's happened, l suppose.
I'm licked-that's the short of It,"
you're SICK" she retorted. That's
the main trouble"
"See that in the dark. can you?" he
asked, with drawn grin. "Well,
you're wrong. What you see Is only a
by-product of the biggest drunk ever
had. guess it must have been l
wasn't there. except at the start. till
after it was all over, but that's my
best judgment on it,"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-04-25

right. He'd have found this rather
hard to believe had not her looks com
pletely borne her out.
After they were seated In the car,
with the chauffeur waiting to be told
where they wanted to go, he asked
her-jocularly, so that it would be
easy to refuse-if she'd like to have
breakfast at the club with him before
she drove home.
Cant you come home to breakfast
with me, JohnY she asked. Just for
the ride and the visit?" And behind
Jeffreys statuesque back, as they
rolled up Sheridan road, she sat close
to him and held his hand
Three or four miles from home he
told her he had Margaret out there
to look after her and stave things off
that she mightn't want to bother with.
That's all right if she doesn't stave
you off," Violet said, with small
nervous laugh.
Gas long as she's there" she went
on moment later, II think III tell
you something now. Because she
makes it hard, somehow-this is what
l meant just now-for me to talk TO
you. Well, that's all it is, really. l
don't want you-staved off, John, by
anybody. I don't want to be-iet
alone. To go my own way. That sort
of thing. / know I've made you think
did. That's a trick most women
have, 1 guess. But they don't mean
it. At least 1 don't. Not any more.
I'd like to have you with me-all the
time. Day and night
He looked at her gravely; almost
if that had been possible for John
suspiciously. "Violet," he asked, nave
you been frightened by anything? Or
anybody? Are you afraid of anything
nOw?"
She met his look steadily. There
isn't a thing. There's only one thing.
And that is that some day you may
get tired of me-" At the look this drew
from him she uttered sobbing laugh
and flung herself upon him. ut isn't
night Waterman want you for" she
said.
