Tears spilled over Faiths flushed
cheeks as she flung her clothes he'll
ter-skelter into the smallest of the
three suitcases she had brought so
hopefully from home. Still unpacked
was the heavy case, containing
Cherrys ''going away" costume and
other delicate treasures of her trous-
seau. She would never see that ter
rible Frankel again, with his swell
scheme" She had sudden insane
impulse to tear his check to bits and
disdainfully fling 1t into the waste
basket. But, even in her humilia-

shakily written telegram, promising
to get it off at the next station, and
she went to slee at last, immensely
comforted by the thought that Bob
Hathaway would be waiting for her
when she arrived. But the porter
must have gossiped bit with travel
