PR0GRAM THRILLS

II radio listening hasn't made al
most everything under the sup q
mere matter of course to the average
radiotic, there was a series OF thrills
in the radio programs that cele-
brated Navy Day throughout the
country merely in the fact that With
out leaving their homes anybody
could hear them.
So intent were Secretary Wilbur
and Walter Bruce Howe, or the
NAVY League, on emphasizing the

And vet that is one of the things the

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHA PIER XXXV.

CilAH lEfL A<N<Nf'
At first Mary Rose wondered
whether she was losing her mind,
or whether Mrs. Hilary Dexter had
lost hers.
"Trying to break up your home?,
she echoed, her eyes wide with
dazed bewilderment.
Her words and the look on her
face seemed to enrage Mrs. Dexter
all the more. She swelled visibly,
and the plumes on her hat shook
with the angry holdings of her
head
That's what I said, you young
hussy," She seemed to leap at the
girl as she said it, and Mary Rose
dropped back into her chair like
plummet.
THAT'S what I said!' she repeat
ed. and she brought the palm Of
her hand down on the top of the
desk with a resounding smack.
Trying to take my husband away
from his family and me! Making
dates with him, and going riding
: with him in his automobile
Mary Rose opened her lips to de-
ny that she had ever gone anywhere
With Mrs. Dexter's husband, but
Mrs. Dexter gave her no chance to
speak. With movement that was
like the snap of whip in its swift
ness, the furious mate of the presf-
dent of the Dexter Company had
turned on him.
$50 this is where you've been two
or three nights a week ever since
last spring, is it? Out with this

him. while 1 sat home, poor fool
that I was, thinking that you were

Billy Edwards, as you said you

you for twenty-five years. Hilary

today! And this is the thanks 1 get
for it!'
She paused for a moment. and her
eyes flashed look of scorn at the
shrinking girl and then went back
to her husbands appalled, face.

mot in a century, What's she after
is your money, not you! And you,
you blind fool, you can't see it! You
think she's in love with your gray
hair, perhaps. or your age and ex-
perience! Hah!" she laughed bit
terly.
''Margery-" Mr.. Dexter opened
his mouth timidly.
Don't you 'Margery' mel" Mrs.
Dexter told him furiously. You just
keep your tongue between your teeth
until I've had my say, d'you hear?"
1t would have been a miracle If he
hadn't heard. For Mrs. Dexter was
talking at the very top of her voice.
And suddenly, to her horror, Mary
Rose realized that the door of the
room stood wide open. Outside,
without a shadow of a doubt, the
whole office force was listening-was
taking all this in, with enormous
relish-enjoying it to the nth de-
gree!
She got up, intending to shut the
door, but Mrs. Dexter barred her
way. mo, you DON'T" she said.
You sit right there, and hear me
out. What I've got to say concerns
you just as much as it does him."
She jerked her thumb in her, hus-
bands direction, and went on:

love with him! He probably tells
you that all that stands in the way
