 The next morning Dick insisted upon getting up at his usual time. He announced, furhermore, that he was going 10 the office.
 If l give in and stay Rt home, I'll be getting the sick habit first thing l know,'- he told Mother Gregory when she arrived at seveS, bringing an electric pad and glass of grape jelly for the invalid, 'l'n work this shaky feeling off in two 1 or three hours down at the oalce.'
 That poor boy Is going to kill ! himself" Mother Gregory later told Ranghild, to whom she had taken an instant liking. She was making milk toast with her own hands for Dick while he dressed.
 ! When he was ill, Mother Gregory l had q feeling that nothing that any 1 doctor or nurse could do for him, 1 would do him half as much good as the food she, herself got ready [ for him.
 1 Gloria, reading the morning paper | in the dining room, listened to the conversation going on in the kitchen.
 That's the way he's been all his i life all ambition, with nobody i to hack it up" Mrs. Gregory was saying to Ranghild, T hope you never fry his food or put much grease in it. Grease gives him indi- gestion quicker than scat,'
 "Ycs, ma'am, l know Ranghild answered in her pleasant voice, but Mir. Gregory doesn't look sickly 10 me. Hes that wiry kind of person if you know what l mean. They can stand anything,
 ] The pantry door swung open and Ranehild came into the dining room with the water pitcher, Gloria looked ID at her.
 Don't pay any attention 10 Mr. 1 Gregory's mother Ranghild,' she 4aid in an undertone. "You're work . ing for me, not for her. And she's just telling you all that stuff 10 hear herself talk, anyway
 With a solemn nod Ranghtld went ! int th1 kitchGn
 A few minutes later Dick came downstairs. Mother Gregory brought him his milk toast with the pride ! full look of A Louis Sherry display ing a wedding cake for the Astor family.
 I'm not going to sit down with you. l had my breakfast at home before l came" she said. 50 I'll just take the paper into the sum room with me for few minutes .. if no ones reading it."
 She rustled blandly away,
 
 Gloria could feel Dicks eyes on her. She did not look up, but tapped her egg and buttered her toast with pretended absorption
 "Glorv." he said at last. She raiscd her eyes. Dick was white and hageard.
 "Dick, you're crazy to try to go to the office, today" she said. Why don't you stay home and rest Dr. John will have a fit when he finds out you've gone to york;
 Never you mind about mo, Glory. It's you I'm thinking about, just 1 now" Dick answered in low tone "I'vc been lying awake most of the night thinking about you, to tell the truth. Look here. Glory did you love me or not when you mar ricd me
 "Oh, dear, do we have to go Dto all that right now? Can't We have one meal in peace" Glorias voice was pa,hctic. First Of all we row ] about money and maids and now you want to raise the root again. suppose about yesterday | afternoon. l.ClS forget IT,
 T wish l could" Dick answered. But it's a pretty serious thing TOT a fellow 10 come home and find his wife entertaining another man . especially a duck like Wayburn!"
 He came over and put his arms around Gloria.
 Honey, l know there was noth- ing wrong about your little party yesterday. You were bored and you wanted a little thrill, a taste Of ex- citement. But other people won see it that way. They'll soon be saving that my wite's in love with that cheap actor, =. They'll have vou in the May Seymour class, first thing you know"
 whats everybody down on May forr" Gloria asked. T don't blame her q nt'le bit for going around with Jim Carcwe, if her own nus aand won't take her anywhere'' . Nhv doesn't he get next 10 him- .llf and soe that he's losing May
