q right to his friendship. I've a
right to see him often. I'm not
fooling myself"
Jim has failed me cruelty. On
the first night after I got the
news of Meals death Jim cava-
lierly telephones to my office that
he cannot be home to dinner.
He refuses to put himself in
my place. He doesn't try to
understand or. even really to sym.
pathize.
Am I anything to him? Would
the most selfish and brutal Of men
treat a woman for whom he cared
at all as Jim is treating me in
my hour Of need?
With Neal gone, there's moth
ing in my life that virtually mat
tiers except to clear his memory.
My lips frightened. Suddenly I
faced the agonizing thought Bartly
Tompkins suggested. Neal is
gone. I have two tasks before
me. One is to pay his debt.
The other is to find how. Neal
met his death and to hunt down
those who prosecuted him.
For the moment nothing counts
but Neal and what I owe him.
But when that task is finished
what will 1 put into my empty
life?
With this question on my lips
/ went at last to sleep.
On the morning after Mabel,
Park and Ralph dined with me
found Jim waiting when 1 came
out to breakfast. 1t is a long
time since he'd done this. Once
It would have colored my whole
day with joy to find Jim delaying
his breakfast for me. Now I felt
no lift Of spirit.
Hello, Anne" he said, rising
TO pull out my chair for me.

you contrive for me. It's fine
thing for a man to discover that
the woman who once worked in
his office is financing his wife
in a matter like your stubborn
performance in paying off what
you call that young scoundrel's
debt"

speak Of my dead brother in such
a way. I won't have it."
"You won't?" sneered Jim.

cried. do you think that If
someone you love-Jeannie, for
instance, were under a shadow
I'd make myself believe in her
and stand by whether I believed
or dldn't?"
Whats all this discussion
about?" asked Jim YEARLY. 1--WE
told you over and over again
that don't want to hear Hy-
lands name mentioned. Yet you
drag it in again and again, even
making dramatic requests that
mourn his death when we both
know that it's the kindest solu-
ton of the whole muddle that
could ever have happened. A lot

sion by asking me what Mabel
was doing in my office. I think
I owe 1t to you to make the mat
ter clear. Will you be patient
while I tell you about it in my
own way?"
60 on" mumbled Jim, pouring
himself a second cup of coffee,
ignoring the fact that I preside
at the coffee urn.
II got as far as explaining that
Mabel is helping me-is lending
me money! She was in the office
to bring me the monthly loan
yesterday afternoon. I'd actually
forgotten that the money was
due to Pat and Carlotta. The
shock of finding out that Neal is
gone had driven my duty to him
out of my mind. That shows you
how unnerved l am"
That's not how I'd put it,"
sneered Jim.
But 1 went on quickly, not
permitting myself to be irrI
tated.
Park came down to my office
with Ralph while Mabel was
there. Park didn't dream Of
meeting Mabel. He just came to
offer me his sympathy. OF

without stopping to consider, I
asked them all up to dinner.

Jim got to his feet. He crum-
pied his napkin and flung 1t on
the table.
"The deuce you were," he
stormed. when a mans wife
doesn't think enough of him to
avoid having such a situation en-.
couraged under his roof there
isn't much force in her claim
that she's thinking Of him.
