Lovejoy agreed spitefully.
Her voice trembled with the
fury that began to blaze up
within her like q sheet Of flame.
"She does it purposely!-She

AS she turned back to the
dressing table she saw his face
in the mirror. It had gone
white all at once, and there was
a stricken look In his dark eyes
as they met hers.
Listen to me, Lovejoy-you

There came a soft knock on
the door, and then Norrie
Shane'S voice:
"Lovejoy, will you tell Tom
that I just put some dry socks
in his room?-I noticed that his
feet were wet when he came
in!"
"Oh, dry up" said Lovejoy
under her breath, and blow

She thumbled her nose In
Norrie's direction.
"And that's another reason
why I like to have Norrie In

she had gone downstairs. "She

Lovejoy asked Of the unpaid
for curtains and the silk-cov-

room. She cried herself to
sleep that night.
The next morning was q
morning Of rare sunshine, Of
blue skies and Of silvery-white
clouds.
Her heart felt as light as q
cloud when she opened her eyes
and looked out upon the rain
washed grass and leaves.
She stretched, thinking how
pleasant 1t was to lie there with
the fresh appetizing smell Of
Norrie's breakfast in her nos

of Tom in the shower-bath in

Why should I change all this?

Lovejoy knew right then that
she was beaten. She knew that
he meant what he Said-and
that there were no lengths to
which he wouldn't go to keep
young Tom.
After that she had no heart

telephoned him.

She said she would and hung

She spent the rest Of the
gray, wet day in bed. There is
nothing so dreary as summer
rain. And there was nothing
more depressing chan the book
that Lovejoy happened to be
reading orrel and Son." the
story Of Q man who loved his

At nine Aline came running in,
fresh and smooth and fragrant
in white handkerchief linen and
one Of the new white berets.
She didn't look o minute over

with gayety.

Mrs. Forbes was sure she
heard footsteps in the hall. She
looked around frantically for
another door. She would never
dare take him into the garden;
he would be sure to see Angela
and Vincent heading for the
garage.

to quiet him.
He shook her head from his
arm as If it had been a burn

hardly speak.

demanded gruffly.
II - oh ~ why she's right
here"
Taken by surprise Dulcy
waved q hand In the direction
Of the hall, calling:
angela, come here q minute.
Your father wants you"
Angela and Vincent could
hardly believe their ears. There
they were, almost at the door
to freedom, and Dulcy who had
promised to help them, called
them back. There was nothing
to do, so they hurriedly slowed
their bags and wraps In a han
closet, and came in the room,
a little breathless.
Angela, where have you
been?"
"oh, Just around-with Mr..
well" Mr.. Forbes gave his
words the solemnity Of q de.
cision handed down from the
bench, II want you to stay
right here beside me the rest
Of the evening"
Angela cast one appealing
glance at Dulcy. There was q
desperate chance that she
might still be able to help her.
But Gordon came in Just then,
and under pretext Of fondling
her tenderly, whispered freely
For heavens sake, Dulcy,
don't do anything. Just let
everyone be quite for O while"
"Oh, it's much too early"
Dulcy announced to everyone
at large. Just give me a mo-
ment and I win think Of some
thing for us all to do"
Gordon had q bunch that

be wrong. And Gordon was

talking over household affairs
with her as calmly as though
they never had had a quarrel!
"You see, I made a lot of
money for a while this spring."
Tom went on, land I'll make
something over q hundred q
week all summer. But that will
only pay our household ex-
penses unless we cut them way
down"
Lovejoy laid two fingers over
her mouth to hide a yawn.
This sort of talk always made
her tired.
"Tom," she said with q little
drawl please don't expect me
to believe you. You've been
been making two and three
hundred dollars q week for
three or four months. Now,
why should you suddenly drop
down to q hundred?"
He gave his head another
shake.
"I've been dropping down
steadily-for five or six weeks"
he told her quietly. "You see,
it's this way, Lovejoy: in the
summer people don't buy as
many bonds as they do in other
seasons Of the year. Three Of
my best customers are in
Europe with their families right
now. Lots Of others are up in
the Maine woods or in Canada,
fishing q. Bonds always
slow up in the summer along
with a lot of other things"
Lovejoy did not believe him.
She only half understood him.
She knew nothing about
bonds. A bond was something
that people bought from Tom
and put away in banks. But

That Is just what Mrs.

the rug viciously as he passed.
Each time that he reached the
far corner of the room, Mrs.
Forbes drew q sigh Of relief.
Each time that he came in

He did not show it in any

she caught the unmistakable
scent Of whiskey on his breath.

not letters but bills. Bills
from the furniture store and
the china store and the drapery
store where she had bought the
things for the new house.
II came home to talk to you
about these bills" Tom said,
spreading them out upon the
orchid taffeta cover on her
bed. "You spent between three
and four thousand dollars on

And it's going to take a lot
Of managing to get these bills

There are moments when
even the bravest soul looks for
an exit, leaving women and
children to fight for themselves.

collided In the rush to the
kitchen door. Many a Drawer
man has sought q drink under
such circumstances.
WHO won the billiard gamer"
Mrs. Forbes asked brightly
when she recovered her COM
posture somewhat.

violently.
Mrs. Forbes could not keep
her eyes off the staircase. At
any moment now the clippers
would come hurrying down and
be caught. She edged over to
a corner Of the room, hoping to
maneuver her husband into a
corner from which he could not
