It was Hilda who answered.
"she throw me out!" she said
violently. "She'S scairt of me
because I know things about
her. She's afraid I'm going to
tell Mister about her and what
she do. So she throw me out!"
Aline nodded sympathetically.
Then she turned to Lovejoy.
II hear the baby crying" she
said to her. Suppose you run
and take care of him. I'll settle
all this with Hilda. Hilda and I
have always been great friends"
Lovejoy was glad to get out Of
the kitchen After all, this
was Aline'S affair and it was
distinctly up to her to settle it.
If anyone was going to buy those
letters from Hilda, it was GER

down into her pocket for the

They aren't my letters! Love-
joy told herself as she lifted the
baby out of his crib and carried
him over to the open window to
see a birds nest just outside in
the lilac bushes.
They weren't her letters. And
yet she was filled with a sense
Of guilt and terror. She knew
why she was, too-because
Hilda knew about her and Steve

She stood there, with Toms
baby in her arms, and remem-
bered how she had let Steve

with Dulcy.

Gordon drew a long sigh Of
relief. So Forbes wasn't the
sort who forgot business as
soon as he left his office.
Maybe they could get details Of
their deal all arranged before
Dulcy's other guests appeared.
Gordon had a sinking feeling

How does a woman do things
like that? she asked herself.
How did I happen to do things
like that?
1t seemed to her in that mo-
ment Of fear and repentance
that she would give half of her
life to have them undone.
Aline came walking into the
room with her finger on her
rouged lips. Behind that warn
ing finger she was smiling.
Ssh! I've got it all fixedl"
she whispered. "She's promised
to turn over the letters and the
wire, and I'm going to write her
a check for a hundred dollars.

out of the house, taking her

No one would have suspected
from the expression on Forbes
face that he loved anyone at
that moment, least Of all Dulcy.
There's you and Mrs. Forbes"
Dulcy counted methodically on
her fluttering fingers, which
Gordon loved even when he
longed, as he did now, to use
them as q gag on her rosebud
mouth.

Forbes eyes widened with
