 CHAPTER NLV
 Lily shook her head unbelievingly. You don't mean it, Pat?" she half whispered. You don't mean that you truly want me to go-away from you?"
 He just looked at her.
 Then he raised his paper once more in his hands and began to read it-or at least to look at it.
 The room was very still-so still that the sound of an automobile stopping in the street seemed very, very loud.
 The door banged fin the vestibule below, and then steps came up the stairs. A knock sounded on the door.
 Pat got up and opened it. And , there stood Sadye Jefferson, smiling :. from ear to ear, and draped with two large. long silver fox furs. Cor. } seous ones, with big fluffy brushes. } She came into the room with that } mincing. walk of hers that always , mA4H Lily yearn to give her good shove to'make her hurry.
 "Well!" she cried. in high tri- umph. T said I'd get Mir. Roy to buy me some furs like the ones Lily had, or know the reason why! What did you do with yours, Lii? Take them 7 back?
 Lily nodded her head. her eyes on Pats face. She saw the light that came into 'it-as if he understood at last where his wife had got those silver fox furs, and from whom! , "Yes. took them back to the store," Lily answered. feeling the tell-tale color sweep into her face.
 1sW didn't come to show off m, furs, however. Sadye was saying now, in her pleasant, smiling way . II came back with this fruit cak. that, Pat left in our car when we :, brought him home awhile ago.

 down beside it.
