BERTHE LOU" Lila told herself.
A BANDONING all hope Of de.
ceiving Berthe Lou any lcns:f.
she decided to make the uiost OF
her erstwhile friends absence.
When Berthe Lou returned-!f she
ever did-Lila knew that she would
have little or no influence over
her. no further opportunity to lead
her into extravaganza or things
that Rod could criticize.
Perhaps BERTHE Lou might induce
Rod to give up his position with
Cyrus. There Lila faced the pos.
sibility of losing him altogether
unless she could complete her
sorcery before bis wife returned.
No need now to consider Berthe
Louis friendship. At last she
could speak freely. could start to
sow the seeds of discomfort In
Rods mind.
She was furious with Cyrus for
having interrupted her initial
move and for having reminded Rod
that she belonged to another man.
But to Rod 1t seemed that he had
gazed upon the secret travail Of
one who had made q CHASTITY mis-,
take.
He pitied Lila. But be admired
her tremendously for having kept
her secret so well. for having lived

exchanging her freedom for money.
At least she had not whined. And

He observed Cyrus closely for

There was nothius In his manner
to indicate that he suspected Lila'z

asked himself II It were not possible

had left him. Berthe Lou feared.
And she hadn't left him. There
had been no final break. no In.
controvertible proof that Rod was
unfaithful. Neither had he sug.
gested q permanent separation. She
spoke tentatively to her mother
about returning to him and was
convinced at once that she had been
a cause for worry.
YES. I really think you should"
her mother said; though We shall
miss you dreadfully."
Berthe Lou smiled over the relief
In her mothers voice.
I'm afraid Rod will be think.
ing we've kept you too long," Mrs.
Ward went on happily. THE dear
boy has been so very patient. 1t
must have been terribly lonesome
for him without you"
Mother and daughter glanced at
each other and then both looked
quickly away. Each was wonder.
Ing how near or how far from the
truth those words had been.
The mother never had accepted
Lila's friendship with BERTHE Lou
as genuine. Z thing to be trusted.
though she had kept her opinion
from her daughter lest she worry
her needlessly. She could be mis-.
taken. perhaps. she told herself.
Berthe Lou would not let her
mother know what she thought Of
Rods loneliness. though she sus.
pected that her mother had won.
dered at her willingness to remain
away from him all these weeks
and months.
She had surprised her mothers
gaze bent upon her in grave medita-
ton on many occasions lately. It
was time to return to Rod and
settle the thing or to open her heart
to her mother and load her burdens
on those still frail shoulders.
DERTIE LOU returned to New
- York unannounced. Her hands
trembled on the doorknob as she
let herself In. but she stubbornly
refused to release the tears that
smarted her eyes. Inside the front
door she put down the small case
she had carried and turned to
admit the elevator boy with her
suitcases.
When he was gone she summoned
her maid. but there was no re
Spouse. She went out to the kitch.
en- and looked around. There was
no food in the refrigerator. Rod
must be eating out.
Further inspection Of the apart.
ment revealed that someone was
taking care Of It for there was
cleanliness and order all around.
A woman by the hour. BERTHE Lou
concluded.
Il was too late now to think Of
preparing dinner In the apartment.
BERTHE Lou set about removing the
marks Of travel from her person
and getting into fresh costume. It
was nice to b back In her com.
Portable. well-furnished homo
but It was purely . physical
pleasure.
There was no citation In her
heart: merely . half.dread. half.
eager feeling. She was excited.
but not happy. For some reason.
though. she put on dress that
Rod had liked.
She Was IN the living room when
he entered the hall. She heard
him open the door and walk TO-

NOW GO ON WITH THE Story
CHAPTER XVIII
4 SURGE OF hate spread itself
: : over Lila's features. comforting
them into q fleeing ugliness. She
turned her head quickly away from
Rods stare.
But even in the moonlight her
expression had been an unmistak.
able indication. of displeasure. Rod
could not see clearly enough to
recognize It as anything more
than that. But 1t was Sufficient to
trouble him.
Thinking It over that night. he
concluded that Lila had no love for
Cyrus. He had come to believe
that she had. But even with that
revealing moment on the piazza to
enlighten him be had not the faint.
est idea why she had been 90 much
annoyed at her husbands demon
strdtion Of affection.
Lila. boiling with resentment
over his intrusion upon her tete-a.
tete with Rod. could have told him
She could have explained that
Cyrus had spoiled the moment she
had been waiting for-the moment
when Rod needed sympathy. the
moment he seemed bewildered and
doubtful of Berthe Louis love.
For. despite his loyalty. Lila
knew that he must be ponderine
over Berthe Louis behavior. She
had pondered over It. too. until she
received q clue. In q conversation
with Rod. on the subject OF the de.
tective she had engaged. she asked
him II he had told BERTHE Lou
anything that could give her a hint
Of their secret. Rod said no. that
he hadn't even told her he wal
at Lila's tho afternoon he had re-
turned the empty jewel case.
Lila remembered having told
