had been Dick who had told Star where to head in" Moreover, sha remembered how meekly Stan had obeyed when Dick had told him 10 get out Of the house.
 "I certainly told him nothing else but" Wayburn went on. You didn't suppose was going 10 lie down like a rug and take all his in- suits, did you?, Not on your gay young life, wasn't And what's more, I'm going to sec you where ever and whenever l want to if you want mo 10. You do, don't you?"
 "Of course, want to . but did you really tell all that to Dick 2" Glory asked incredulously.
 IN -- no. not exactly that way" Stan admitted,
 Well, I must ring off, now" Glory said, "Goodby, stan"
 She was vaguely disappointed in Wayburn. She would have liked him to stand up 10 Dick that after noon, She wanted to be proud Of him. somehow
 When Glory returned 10 the house she found Mother Gregory in charge. She had tied a white apron. crack ling win starchiness, over her black silk dress, and she was ten derly bathing Dicks face.
 These colds Of his come from his stomach. I'm sure Of it." she said accusingly 10 her daughter-in. law. Hes either heen upset over something or his diet is all wrong. Do you give him much fried food?"
 Glory tried 10 think whether or not RanghiId fried the meat and potatoes very often. She thought not.
 "Well, anyway Dicks 10 have nothing but ogg-nog for his sup per- Mother Gregory went on without waiting for Glory's reply. You go down and beat 1t up while I make Dick comfortable for the night and make me a cup Of lea, while you're at 1t. I was just sitting down to dinner when you phoned me. and l came right over without a bite"
 Glory stood looking helplossly at Mother Gregory's broad satin-cov- cred back.
 How do you make an egg-nog 2" she asked finally
 Mother Gregory turned and faced her. Her fine black eyes were Wid- cnod in astonishment.
 "Wclh I never heard Of such thing, You, a grown woman, not knowing how 10 beat little milk and egg together" she exclaimed. You si' here and wait for me minute. -, When I finish with Dick I'll go downstairs with you, aui show you how to make an egg nog.,"
 Sho snoothod the pillows under Dicks head. Then she pulled the hot water bottle from between the sheets, and gave it to Glory,
 Co and empty half the water out of that thing" she ordered. Never fill a hot water bottle to the very top. 1t'll burst if you do. And roll i. up in a clean towel be- fore you bring it back!'
 Silently Glory obcyed. Then the two women went down 10 Rang hiId's spotless white kitchen.
 Now then" Mother Gregory said briskly. Put on your apron and wash your hands and we'll get to work. She bustled about collecting milk and eggs and nutmeg as she spoke.
 Glory had no arpons Of her own, Sho had no usc Tor aprons. But she found one Of Ranghild's in a pantry drawer and tied it on.
 Wien the egg-nog was mad, Decks mother poured it into a tall glass and set it on a little tray.
 You take f up 10 Dick while ] stir around and get a bite Of sup per for us, Glory.' she said. And see that he drinks every drop of it"
 Slowly and unWillingly Glory went upstairs, Dicks eyes were fixed on the door as she swung il ajar. She set the tray on chair at the side Of Dicks bed.
 "Hore's the first meal your li'tle cd wife ever cooked for you" Golry said with a gayety she was far from feeling. Dick merely looked al her,
 She slipped an arm behind his shoulders 10 raise him but he pushed it away,
 Give me the glass" he said shortly, He drained it. and lay down again with his face turned toward the wall, Glory picked up her tray to go. But before she reached the door Dick had called to her.
 "Glory. you took your things into the guest -room," he said.
 "N"s, I'm going to sleep there to- night" Glory answered. "I think youu sleep more comfortably if you're in here alone"
 I}ut they both knew that was not her reason for going into the guest room. The thought Of Wayburn rose between them like an insurmount- able wall,
 Glory tell me one thing" Dick said surprisingly. And think be- fore you give me an answer .. yourc not in love with this Way burn fellow. are you?" His anger vas entirely gone.
 "Trars not the point" Glory said coldly The point is that you've shamed and humi}a'ed me before my friends. And m never forgive you for fl, I don't know how I can ever face any Of .hem again
