 Don't you take her home in my carl" Sadye called softly from the doorway. as the two went down the steps. That woman can't ride in my car, Pat"
 Behind it !. few feet stood Rows own car. and as Pat started town the sidewalk towards 1t. Lily pulled him back. T won't ride in either of their cars" she decared You take me to Q drug store or some place where I can telephone Staley, He'll come and get me"
 She said that to hurt Fat But ! If It dld hurt him, he gave no sign of 1t. Al! right" he answered. in- differently, and enung around on his heel. Come along"
 Tn silence they walked down to the corner wher3 8 red vase and blue vase shone out from drug store window.
 Pat. ! really came to let you know how sorry am about the pls- ton ring Hopping Lily said, when they were near the corner. T am sorry-terribly, terribly sorry"
 He did not answer. He seemed to have nothing to say to her. this man who had once cared for no other person n the whole wide. world but her. He just walked along as if she had, not spoken.
 You're not very polite, are you ?' Lily asked, absolutely forgetting how extremely impolite, not to say disgraeeful, she herself had 'ust been in the Jettarsons' house,
 All she remembered-all che wanted to remeNber of that scene was the way Elizabeth Ertz had taken hold of Pats arm, as If he were her special property. she ground her small, even teeth as she thought of it.
 Pat, ARE you crazy about that Ertz?" she asked. You know. Pat, we once loved each other a very great deal I love you more than I ever shall love anybody again-and it makes me wildly jealous to think of her daring to lay her hand on your arm like that
 Then Pat did answer her You're what people call a dog in the man. ger.' If you'll excuse me for saying such q thing to you" he said. in a rat INx~r nr,k anyone else to have me. You want to go through with this divorce and marry Drummond, and then have the satisfaction of knowing that Tn still unhappy about you. You want me to promise not to see Elizabeth again. don't you 7'
 That was exactly what Lily would have liked to have him promise But she was ashamed to confess it. go she just tossed her head and ran ahead of him into the drug store,
 He stood outside the booth while she telephoned staley and asked him to come for her
 Then she went out into the small, cluttercd, brightly lighted store, where she had always traded when she was housewife in this ordinary neighborhood of nice. pleasant o, l. nary folks,
 The druggist spoke pleasantly to her now. and then glanced sharply from her to Pat. Evidently he had 1 heard bits of the gossip about them
  to Pat, wishing that she had tele- !, rhoned for d cab instead of Staley. For one thing, she vas not eager to gee him that night, and for another, she did not want him 10 find Pat here with her when he arrived in his car. He would wonder what she had come to see Pat for, and she would not know what to tell him. 'Go back to your Ertz and VOLT wonderful Jettersons. I'll sit here and read a mo,1e magazine
 But, although she bought one and climbed up on ? high stool and pre- tended to read #. he did not stir m stav here until you're safe in the car he sad ztuthornlv. and stay he did.
 Please don't let s'alev see VOL She had to plead Tlth him a+ last
 He'll wonder what or earth I C m : tc see you for-and I don't want him 10 know that I did see you
