it did not worry her in the way he'd
have expected.
BERTHE Lou had seen him from the
window as he stood before the house.
She had beer looping back the ruff

glance out the window.
For a moment she had not moved

couldn't be! This was worse than
anything that had gone before. Was
she losing her mind?
Then Rod had looked directly at
her window She drew back auto
matically Why? She didn't ask
herself. The movement was in
stinctive.
A protective one, and the thing
she wished to protect was her desire
to have Rody come into her house
his house, their house. 1t wasn't
necessary to put her instinct into
words, to tell herself that he would
not enter if he knew that she was
there.
Not for an instant did she be-
lieve that he knew it was her house.
But she did observe his shabbiness
That was after a closer look, when
he was in the hall.
She had called to Bessie as Rod
walked up the front steps and told
her to admit him. But don't men
ton me. or my name" she eau
toned I'll explain later"
She hardly knew what to do! Her
head was buzzing with ideas. But
the thought that stayed uppermost
was: why has he Gomez"
She. told herself, with a great
throb of Joy, that he had come for
the same reason that brought her
to Moonf1elds.
Memories!
Lila has broken with him
again." her heart sang. She couldn't
help feeling glad. She'd rather have
Rod die of a broken heart than
groveling at Lila's feet.
She did not believe that Rod him
self had given up Lila. For the bit

speaking of him did not help her
to a higher opinion of Rod than
she had held before.
If only she could blind herself,
pretend that Rod had gagged
Lilas character at last, had been
too decent to remain under her
sway.
But no, she could not deceive
herself. She had hoped too much
in vain. Rod had come back be-
cause memories were all he had
now to heal sick soul Perhaps
he was sorry; perhaps he even
wished he could recall the days of
their marriage.
BERTHE Lou told herself these
things. And then she remembered
the manner in which Rod had de-
serted her, the cold, impersonal
note he had left.
No, she would not forgive him.

Rod stepped inside. One glance
showed him that the interior, as
much as he could see of it. was just
like the other house. "If my mem

who had admitted him remarked.

was charming. The way BERTHE
Lou might have furnished it, he
thought. No matter where you put
her she made her surroundings at
tractive.
He'd have been surprised if he
had been granted a glimpse into
her hall bedroom. BERTHE Lou had
lacked any incentive to beautify it,
He had forgotten, too, her untidy
bedroom in the last apartment
they'd lived in together. But she
did have taste and feeling for the
right things.
At first she had intended furnish
ing this little house from the things
she had in storage. But they did
not fit into her conception of it
as an abode of happiness.
Had she started out with Rod as
he had begged her to she never
would have bought for this house
the things she had chosen for their
apartments. She wanted everything
here to be perfect-as she and Rod
would have had it had they built
it together.
Governed by this obsession, she
finally sold the furniture in storage
and bought all new things. Simple
things that cost but little. more
than the money she realized on the
sale of the more COS ~ furniture.
There had been a few pieces to
return, as she declared herself I'M
able to complete the payments on
them.
There was nothing for Rod to
recognize, except the exquisite taste
that characterized BERTHE Lou. But
good taste was not exclusively
BERTHE LOUIS.
Still, he let himself fancy that
BERTHE Lou had furnished it for
their home. And he had another
illusion, too, one that was not so
easily understood. He imagined that
some unseen person was watching
him. Several times he turned his
head quickly and once he was sure
he saw a bit of dress disappear from
sight just within an open door.
But why should anyone hide?
Perhaps it was not convenient for
the mysterious person to make an
appearance, but was it necessary to
follow him all over the place?
Rod was puzzled, until he decided
that there were two women alone
in the house and they were nervous
about his presence.
81 guess I do look like a tramp"
he remarked mentally, eXcusing
them. cts a wonder they let me
in. They must know I've as much
chance of buying this house as I
have of buying the public library"

THIS HAS HAPPENED


BERTHE LOU and ROD BRYER are
happily farried, until LILA LOREE
plots to separate them. She had once
refused to marry Rod because he was
LOREE and persuades him to aid Rod
in business while she gains BERTHE Louis
confidence bv shOwering her with favors.
Gradually she arouses Rods interest
and faith in her while she plants seeds
of doubt about his wife. When BERTHE
Lou discovers that they see each other
secretly. she is heartbrOken and hirts
with Young MARCO PALMER to re-
taliate.
Rod will not commit himself to Lila,
although he and BERTHE Lou have drifted
far apart. Tired of her waiting game.
Lila tells Rod she loves him and wants
him to go away with her. He repudi-
ates her disloyalty to her husband and
she taunts him by saying that his wife
is out with Marco. Rod drives to the
Palmer estate where he sees Marco and
BERTHE Lou in lounging attire and de-
parts without learning that they were
merely coming upstairs from the swim
ming pool.
Rod ieaves BERTHE Lou with no ex-
PLANTATION. and she thinks that Lila has
won him. Both women try to find him
without success. BERTHE Lou obtains a
position and waits for Rcd to get
divorce. The suspense and dreariness of
her lot cause her to seek fOrgetfulness in
Marcos gay crowd.
She has a nervous breakdown and.
