4 SURGE Of hate spread itself
over Lila's features. comforting
them into a fleeting 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 It was sufficient to
trouble him.
Thinking 1t over that night. he
concluded THAI Lila had no love foI
Cyrus. He had come to believe
that she had. But even with that

enlighten him he had not the faint

She could have explained that

when Rod needed sympathy. the

doubtful of Berthe Louis love.

she decided to make the most OF
her erstwhile friends absence.
When BERTHE Lou returned-if she
ever did-Lila knew that she would
have little or no influence over
her. 70 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 DOS.
sibility OF losing him altogether
unless she could complete her
sorcery before his 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 Tor
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-.

He pitied Lila. But he admired
her tremendously for having kept
her secret so we'll. Tor having lived

There was nothing in his manner

Rod found himself thinking Berthe
Lou had revealed herself 40 selfish
and unloving.
TT did not come suddenly. his
verdict OF her: but 20 the weeks
wore on and she made no mention
Of returning to New York. Rod was
compelled to believe that she did
not mind being apart from him.
Then there was her cold letter
when he had to refuse the money
she asked for. Berthe Lou had
hated writing for It. but she needed
funds she had used prac-
tically all her immediate cash for
her fare home.
She did not want to appeal to her
father for . loan since that would
cause him to wonder why Rod did
not supply her with money.
Rod had replied with halt the
amount and tho statement that he
had no more to send. Berthe Lou
was amazed He must be spending
money like water! Well. Lila's
habits and tastes could account for
that. For any man who aspired to
an affair with her would soon find
himself with . lean pocketbook.
BERTHE Lou believed.
Rod did not write for 4 week
after receiving her sarcastic letter.
During this period Of waiting Der.
tie Lou had assured herself through

and still family surviving faith
that she did not care whether be

 They declared that they did not realize the deceased was seriously ill when they undressed him after carrying him 10 his rooms. Neither the tutor nor a doctor was called until morning. Then it was too late.
