1t was a perfect meal and both men
praised the dainty cock. Afterward
while Jack did bit OF writing Conny
sat with Norman on the porch in the
moonlight and by every vile she knew
coaxed the story of the broken en-
gagement out of her guest. Norman
was frank; he was Eurt, his dignity
was threatened. Hortense had gone
riding with Leland Yates in that red
sport car of his, and Leland Yates
was anathema. He couldn't stand for
it, his girl parading before the public
eye with Leland Yatesl No he hadn't
given her chance to explain, he had
just told her they better call things
off. And she had. No, he hadn't been
unduly suspicious; of course he hadn't
seen her with Leland, but he had
heard about it, every detail how they
had stopped at the Willow Tree inn
for lunch. AT that Norman snorted.

softly, eff it could have been your

"You better go and ask Hortense

Norman went. And as he departed
Connie few TO Miss Plopper's. She
bounced in upon the spinster with fire

"Norman's gone back to Hortense,"
she blazed. Now | am going to tell

The commotion that ensued was ter

to do her best, had the match marrer
beaten forty ways. She had gathered
more than one scrap of information
from Norman.
"Just because your Miniature sent

her final shot as she departed.
Then she ran home to cry on Jacks
