CHAPTER VII.

THE Gerald Renards had been
married one week-one
thrilling and happy week
devoted to giddy plans for the
new apartment. If you had
watched them during the day you
would have guessed that they were
merely acquaintances-slightly an
tagonistic to each other. But that
was because, in their effort to keep
the happy secret from their bust
ness associates, they felt their pre-
tense must be complete. Yet one
glance at their shining faces when
they discussed the future, after Of
fee hours, would have barred the
secret to the world.
This much was decided: On
Sunday they were TO set out, news
paper in hand, to find a small
studio apartment, attractively fur
nished, in a remote section Of the
city and far from the prying eyes
Of a jealous world. What they
really wanted, they solemnly as
sured each other, was a retreat"
They discussed a budget system
so much for rent, food, enter
tainment and sundries. And they
discovered that they might even
have a small savings account If
they were economical. THAT
e turning out lights and saw
ing stale bread for buildings,
darling" suggested Barbara. AS
long as you're not economical with
your love, it's all right with me-"
he said. And he turned to receive
what he fondly imagined would be
a grateful kiss from his young
wife. But Mrs. Donnes was at
home, and Barbara had long ago
decided that there was no sense
in irritating her mother. So she
ignored the offering" very
haughtily and ordered its donor
home.
"See you at the office tomorrow,
Mr.. Renard," she called after him
as he left. Fortunate grill" re-
sponded "Mr." Renard, and he
threw a kiss in her direction.
But the jest was ill-advised. For
the next day, as Barbara was pre-
pairing to take a letter from John
Byrd6n, he said to her: Miss
Donnes, how would you like to help
me out tomorrow" Barbara held
her breath, for tomorrow was Sun
day, the day Jerry and she had set
aside for apartment hunting. But
she couldn't refuse to help Byrdon
it was the first time he had
asked her-so she smiled graciously
and said, "Of course, Nh. Byrdon,
I'll be glad TO come in tomorrow"
THAT isn't what ! meant" he
explained. "1t's just this. My
family have gone away for the
