sion, heard the seductive cr-r:r-runch
as the knife sawed through and then
the rich, juicy plop as the melon divid-
ed into halves. He felt that luscious,
cripson heart inviting him-luring-
screaming a demand TO be eaten,
He turned his tortured eyes away,
This was not fighting fair. Clarry
was hitting below the sagging belt.
And she walloped him again when she
piled a plate high with dainties and
set them beside his washtub, then
returned to the kitchen table and fell
to with a relish.
Privacy was verging on delirium.
The strain was horrible. But when
Clarry came for the dishes he knew
that he had almost won the battle.
Almost-but not quite. For several
seconds Clarry hesitated then
went off With toe untasted food.
A LONE again, Privacy buried ach-
ing head in trembling hands and
cursed himself for a fool. There had
been meal fit for a king. For pair
of kings. And he had disdained it.
He watched Clarry place the residue
safely in the ice chest. pausing occa-
sionally to glance wonderingly at her
husband.
The battle was not a fair one.
Clarry had merely to comoat her Gu
riosity; Privacy was tortured by his
appetite The one was powerful, per-
haps: but the other was irresistible.
And Privacy had fought a good
fight. Yet he knew that he was
beaten. Remembrance of that ample
store Of food in the ice box was too
much for him he became sick
and faint at the thought of the viands
waiting to be eaten.
He remained in his semi-comatose
condition until 10 o'clock. At that
hour Clarry came indoors, stood gaZ-
ing curiously at her husband-then
entered her bedroom. Through force
of habit she locked the door. The
sound of the key grating in the lock
was like a knell o doom to Privacy.
There was an air of finality about that
particular performance which broke
.he last struggling bit of his resist
ance.
For fifteen minutes he waited: d
half-hour-an hour. Then he rose,
staggering against the porch rail as
he did so-staggering from sheer
weakness. He threw his arms wide
in token Of utter surrender. And
then, noiselessly. carefully. he crept
toward the ice box. He reached the
door of the ice box, wrapped cold
fingers about the handle, and
wrenched il open
His fingers found the leg of a
chicken. Privacy uttered a cooling,
caressing sound as he raised it to
his lips. =.
Meanwhile Clarry Robson had
dropped off into a deep, untroubled
slumber. She was puzzled and more
than a little worried. But she was
healthily tired, and sleep wooed and
won her in jig time.
How long she slept she did not
know. Then suddenly she found her
self sitting straight up in bed, every
hair making frantic effort to stand
on end: cold beads of perspiration
slistening from her chocolate brow.
