Jack looked at her steadily.

1t was perfectly plain to Margret
that he had his doubts about it.

or for the money I'm able to
give her?

''The money I'm not able to
give her. I should say" he cor.

time to answer his question.
We've been married five months
ana already we've spent more
money than earn at the mills in
a whole year-and she knows
I'm down there on workman'sl

Margret shook her smooth
brown head. She could scarcely
believe what he said.
II asked her not to spend any
more money for while, and the
first thing she did was to buy
that pink dress she has on to-
night" Jacks low, deep voice
ran on. IF she cared a hang
about me, would she have done
that? But the money isn't the
worst Of it. We aren't happy
together"
Margret stared at him. Why,
only the other day Honey Lou
had told her that she was so
happy that she was almost afraid
to breathe for fear something
might happen to spoil it all.
"At least. I'm not happy" Jack
said, and there was a good deal
of bitterness in his sudden boyish
smile. 81 never see Honey Lou.

Margret did not answer him for
q moment. She seemed to be
thinking of what he had said.
