 Glory was certain that inc min ute the door had closed upon stan Icy Wayburn, Dick would come rushing upstairs to hear what she had 10 say in her own defense. Trembling, she waited. ..
 She ran upstairs and bolted 'he Ioor Of her bedroom. She was sure oha heard the handle of the door turn, and then Dicks footsteps go- ing down the stairs,
 Glory presently tiptood down the stairs and p"erod between the blue velvet curtains that hung in the doorway,
 Dick was sitting in one corner Of 'ho davenport. His head was sunk in his thin brown hands.
 Glory thought she heard him give q low groan. But she vas not sure whether he did or not.
 A sudden rush of pity for him swept over her like wave, For he must love her the way she cared for Stanley Wayburn hopeless ly and hclplessly,
 -. And yet Glory knew that in time she would nave forgotten all about Eauley Wayburn if he lad not come back. She had all but put him out of her heart during The months before her marriage 10 Dick.
 And why had he had 10 come back to spoil Dicks life and hers, too@ For Glory was certain that, in q mild sort Of way, she would have boon quite contenlcI to be Dicks wife all the rest Of her days If she had not seen Stan again. |. He had always been able 10 sweep her of her feet
 The doorbell rang. Glory opened it 10 pr. John.
 "Wpll, we'll is the little wife wor- riod?" hn asked in his kindly way when he saw her troubled face. "Rut there's really no need Of t. Dick has just another touch of that flu of his Wen have him straight enod around in a day or two. Where is he?"
 Glory led the way to the living room.
 50 ,hiq is tho way you obey or dcrs, is it? thought told you 10 go home and go straight 70 bed, young follow." Dr. John said.
 Dick stared at him duly,
 "Go up and put couple o' hot water bottles in his bed, Glory" Dr. John ordered, taking out his clini- cal thermometer. "He looks as if he's having a bit of chill"
 The doctor popped his thermom- eter into Dicks mouth, as Glory turned to go. She found the only hot water bottle in the house, after long search and filled it.
 While Dr. John was helping Dick into he'd, Glory tolephoncd Mother Gregory 10 come right over,
 Thon she gathered together her night-clorhcs, an arm(ul Of her bou- doir pillows, and the novel she was reading. She carried them all across the hall to the Guest-room.
 For she had made up her mind to sleep there that night -. that night a, least.
 Dick followed lis wife around with Eca,y-lidicd eyes.
 "ILrc's couple Of prescriptions. Better go and get them filled right away. Glory" Dr, John said, busily writing on q small pad as he spoke.
 She took the, slip of paper, put ou her things and went downstairs.
 she drew a long sigh Of relief as she stepped out into the blue-gray dusk Of rar'y evening,
 What a mess life was, Glory tlougl'.
 It malc you care for the people you ought not 10 care for. It made the people who meant nothing 10 VOL at a', fal in love with you.
 There vas no more pan or pat torn 70 ifa than there was 10 crazy-qut'. No' as much, IL vas ',roNn together, so far as she rou,d Sec.
 How much more simple every nIue would ba all tho way around, for Instance. Ir Stan Wayhurn had bosu n love RI,h her q year ago as she lad been with him and lad married her'
