about his interview with Mr. Rathbone
He has the matter under advisement" he
replied evaSively, informed by some instinct
that it would be best to let her learn gradually
that the suit was abandoned. "A lawsuits an
expensive thing. It's not thing you want to
jump into without due consideration. Stella,

statically, but from Mrs. Bisbee there came no
sign of pleasure.
Bending forward she fixed him with
shrewd scrutiny, demanding:
do look as If was born yesterday? Don't
imagine you fool me, William BiSbeei I know
why you want to go to Europe It's that woman
again"
IT was not until the following Spring that
there burst upon the community again a
piece of news sufficiently sensational to divert
from Mr.. Bisbee the last remnants of his fame.
Alice Murchison Thresher, who had started
with her husband on a leisurely trip around the
world, suddenly left him and came home to live,
and JUNIORS concerning the reason for the
separt ton ran riot through the town.
Un.er the furious torrent of new gossip Mr..
Bisbee found himself and his last-years ro-
nance submerged and apparently forgotten.
The Saddenng consciousness he had of drop
ping into the dull old ways eliminated one eve
ming when he came home and found himself
involved in a new argument Stella and Pau
line had decided that the sedan was inadequate
to their needs and that. since the new country
club would soon be opening they ought to have
a chaufer and limousine.
When he mildly protested, Stella became
angry.

producing his gold match case, he gave Alice
light.
To the vanity cases and mesh bags she paid
little attention but when the cigarette cases
arrived, she took one of them up. saying:
This ones perfect"
"But don't you think" Mrs Murchison asked
him, that cigarette cases make rather
strange gift for bridesmaids"
In my younger days" returned Mr.. Bisbee
tactfully, I'VE might of thought so; but not any
longer, madam, not any longer"
Certainly not" said Alice. Send me six of
them" She rose, Come along mother; I'm
late for the hairdresser." But instead of fol-
lowing Mrs. Murchison from the room, she
crossed, put her cigarette in the ash tray and
leaning on the desk as If in no hurry, asked:
:.'When can you deliver them"
Before the end Of the week." he assured her
He observed that her hand was resting idly on
the edge OF the blotting pad. and that her
finger-tips were touching the back of the
magazine, which protruded slightly.
"Thatll do nicely" she said Now, in an
absent minded manner, she was picking at the
magazine.
you are really satisfied that cigarette cases
aren't in bad taste for a wedding?" she asked.
The copy of Chit-Chat was now in full view
Absolutely" He backed toward the door,
hoping she would follow
WELL" she said, I'm glad you feel that way.

uncomfortable, doesn't it?" And with that,
never having once glanced at the detested jour-
nal. she passed out of the room
1t was busy day at the store of the William
p. BiSbee Co.. before midday Mrs Emory
Rathbone came in, and under the personal at
tention of Mr.. Bsbee himself purchased as a
wedding gift handsome set of sterling silver
table ornaments; and before closing time all
previous sales-records had been surpassed

do you imagine I don't know you?" Stella
asked bitterly. Here Pauline and I are max
ing a lot of desirable friends, getting away
from the rag-tag and -bobtail crowd we used
to go with, and what help do we get from
you? None! You're nothing but an old stick
in-the-mud."

before-he who at the present rate would soon
be the largest retail silverware and jewery deal

The memory of the outrageous term fingered
with him as he went downtown next morn
ing, giving him new sense of the futility OF
life.
He entered the store, and on his way back
to the office, took the morning mail from
Miss Click, but instead of opening the letters
when he reached his desk, he fell into a fit
of abstraction and sat staring at the carpet
What was it all about? What was he Strug-
Cling for? Why was he always hoping that
some day Stella would understand him and
treat him decently?
He took up his steel letter opener and ran
through the pile of mail, swiftly Sitting the
successive envelopes until he came to large
oblong one of crisp, light-blue paper. 1t
bore foreign stamps, and the moment he saw
the bold angular handwriting his heart leaped
and he snatched the letter out, and with
fingers that trembled in their eagerness, I'M

stamped in dark blue, and at the right the

Rapidly he read:

continent you were so good as to give me q

unable to find any like them over here, I
was quite in despair until today found your
