It was concluded that if the gas

+ crisis. And BERTHE Lou could see no
solution for it.
She would have left him if she
had proof that Rod had been I'M
faithful to her. But she did not
believe that he had. 1t would do
him no good if she freed him unless
Cyrus would free Lila.
BERTHE Lou admitted to herseE
that she loved Rod too much to
leave him unless 1t would benefit
him or unless he made her action
unavoidable.
And surely there would be too
many persons to suffer over their
separation to think lightly of it. Her
parents, and his. And the talk in
Wayville. That would hurt them.
And perhaps. if she did nothing
at all, Lila herself would end it some
day by showing Rod how she was
playing with him as cat plays with
a mouse.
OF course, life would never be the
same for her again, BERTHE Lou told
herself, but she was not ready to cut
herself adrift from all hope, all
chance to have even the crumbs of
happiness.
In the morning after an hour or
two of fitful slumber, she was no
nearer a decision in regard to her
future than she had been the night
before.
She did not get up and break
fast with Rod as was her habit. He
left the apartment without the
slightest idea that she was troubled
with anything more than a head
ache, to which she confessed.
1t required considerable Steeling
of her will to face her engagement
with Lila. They were lunching to-
gether and then going to a mat
inee.
BERTHE Lou telephoned that she
would meet Lila at the theater,
Lila seemed relieved to omit the
luncheon. And as soon as BERTHE
Lou hung up the receiver Lila called
the office and asked for Rod.
Would he come up to luncheon?
She wanted him to meet the man
they were talking about. Rod I'M
derstood that she meant the de-
tective. He promised to be there
promptly at one as Lila requested.
That morning he had searched
the Office and the safe carefully,
inch by inch, to see if he could dis
cover any clews to the theft. He
explained to Cyrus secretary that
he had lost a valuable cuff link the
day before.
He had not been out of the office
more than five minutes when BERTHE
Lou called in to tell him about a
telegram she had received from
Wayville. The girl at the switch
board told here he had gone up to
Mr.. Loree's apartment.
Rod found the detective waiting
for him when he arrived. The mans
eyes bored uncomfortably into his
when he asked about the lock on
the case. Had he, Rod, for any rea-
son, sought to open it?
Certainly not" Rod replied en-
phatically.

TRYSTAL HATHAWAY'S excite
ment over the probability of
seeing her adored chum, TORI
Tarver, carried her in flying rush
across the street. Darling Tony!
Beautiful Tonyl
It was too perfect that she should
be so near a neighbor of the Bob
Hathaways. AS she ran impetuous-
ly, Crystals mind became a whirl-
ing kaleidoscope of pictures of Tony
Tarver, every one of them lovely
and th-taking.
Tony was 20, nearly two years
younger than Crystal, who had been
senior in Bradley, the girls junior
college, when Tony had entered as
freshman.
The year that the two girls had
been room mates had been the most
thrilling of Crystals life, and it was
Tony who had made it thrilling.
The Tarvers' new home loomed up
clear and new and beautiful in the
June moonlight. Even Crystal, who
knew painfully little about architec-
ture, felt proud of her cousin, Bob
Hathaway, who had planned it,
proud of Bob's father-in-law, mild,

At Bradley, Tony had been gaily
poor, frankly unable to dress as
well as the "rich" girls. Not that
her poverty had made any differ
ence, Crystal had remembered.
Within a month of her arrival at
Bradley Tony Tarver had become
easily the most popular girl in the
rather snobbish school.
Crystal ran up the white flag
stone path, entered the recessed
doorway, and was about to press
the bell when the old, familiar
agony of shyness and self-depre-
citation seized her.
Would Tony really be glad to see
her? What if Tony hao callers, ano

in the world really love her?
Crystal was about to turn anc
run away, back to the Hathaway
home, when another agonizne
thought stopped her. Faith anc
Bob would still be up, would heal
her return, would ask embarrassing
questions, would think she had beer

Tarver.

slim body looking as if it were

The blue diamond eyes became
wide, puzzled, then Tony's thrilling
voice sang out:

day, but I'm glad to see you! I
couldn't believe my eyes at first!"
And Tony's firm but velvety
young lips were upon Crystals
trembling mouth. Tony's bare arms
were wrapped tightly about Crys-

+ ing of contempt for both her owl
and Rods business.
But beyond realizing that chance
had exposed Lila's hand at this
point BERTHE Lou had no idea what
had gone before.
Tonight was the first time SHE
had caught Rod in a lie, but that
did not mean that it was his first
lie to her.
Her impulse was to go and ask
him. She threw a velvet negligee
around her shoulders and started
back to the living room.
But another thought stopped her
Hadn't she been second choice when
she married Rod? What would
happen if she went to him now and
taxed him with being still in love
with his first choice? Could he help
that?
BERTHE Lou sank down upon the
bench at her dressing table and
buried her head on her crossed
arms. What could she do? Rod
was miserable. So miserable that
he couldn't hide his true feeling
any longer.
He had come from Lila, perhaps
so embittered at having to part
from her that he was unable to
pretend he did not feel for the girl
he had married.
A wounded soul, struggling in
the dark, can conjure up many
torments. BERTHE LOUIS mental an
guish was as real and intense as
though all the painful conclusions
she reached were true ones.
Rod had lied to her. He had
come from Lila and lied about it.
She began to feel sorry for him,
infinitely and hopelessly sorry. Lila
might have found a way to shake
herself back into his heart, but
Lila was Lila. She always would
be Lila. Let her pose. Let her fool
Rod.
Cyrus and she might step aside,
but Rod could not find happiness
with Lila. And then BERTHE Lou
knew that Cyrus never would step
aside. He wasn't that kind. Rod
could not have Lila.
But what should she do? She
who knew how things stood he
tween them no how they
MIGHT stand. But she couldn't
give Rod to Lila because Lila was
not free to take him.
And BERTHE Lou hadn't said to
herself that she was willing to give
Rod up.
Oh, it was a hideouS mess. Her
head was aching furiously now, and
little darts of white light flashed
before her eyes. She opened them
for relief and the dressing room
swan about her like a rocking
house at a fair.
She was so long recovering from
the nervous shock she had suffered
that Rod had gone to bed when
finally she crept, heartsick and
weakened, to her pillow.
She knew Rod was not asleep but
she did not want to talk to him
not yet. The moment of challenge
had passed.
To face him with his lie and make
him admit that Lila meant as much
to him as ever would precipitate a
