When Rowena went down to din
ner she made excuses not to go-said
she was very tired. said she wanted
hot bath and good sleep, said she
would just read magazine she had
picked out at the newsstand.
They went up to the room imme-
diately after dinner with all good in
tentions, and Rowena knocked. When
there was no answer she opened the
door and they went in. The room
had a deserted appearance. Bobby's
handsome articles of toilet were gone
from the dressing-table. Her beauti-
ful dressing-gown was gone from the
foot of the bed, her satin mules from
! beneath it. Her imported travelling
/ bag no longer stood beside Rowena's
shabby suitcase on the baggage rack
Peter and Rowena looked at each
other in wide-eyed CONSERVATION.
There was note, written on hotel
paper in Bobby's round childish hand.
1t was pinned to Rowena's pillow.
"Darlings, I'm going home. I've
got to. If I don't, III never get
him back IU send Peter the money
l BORROWED as soon as | get my
Allowance I'm going ON the Seven
! o'clock train and l haze already
zelred him to meet me. You're both
Just Sweet and I love you. But I
do zsrSh you didn't quarrel so. I'm
glad Carter and get along better"
"And that" said Rowena fatty, "is
that"
"It's all of that" added Peter
gloomily.
Nothing" declared Rowena drear-
lily, could be more irretrievably fatal
than this"
"It was great sport while it lasted,'
said Peter 'You have been pretty
game all the way through, Rowena."
1T was corking good business,
too," said Rowena. "And taking it
all in all, you are not half bad to
breeze around with, Peter"
well, it's all over now," said
Peter.
"You don't suppose we could pick
one up here, do you?-By advertising.
The way we got Bobby in the first
place"
But they both knew it was pretty
hopeless.
They said good night with some
thing vaguely suggestive of affection
ate regard, for this killing, kindred
disappointment gave them a cordial
meeting-ground for almost the first
time.
Rowena sat alone at her window,
little and high up, for she had frugal
ly changed from a double to a single
room Immediately after the desertion
of Bobby.
She was not one to give up with
out struggle-nor to give up at all,
for that matter.
1t was nearly midnight when she
shook off her final hesitation, with
mind made up. An idea had come
to her, terrifying and tremendous,
hours before. She had toyed with it,
weighed it in the balance and, finding
it wanting, pushed it resolutely away;
but had permitted it to work its way
back, insidious1y sure. At twelve
o'clock she called Peter on the te1e-
phone and that was an end of her
hesitation,
Listen, Peter. You meet me down.

of metaphorical glory. SO I picked
some more berries, and the broken
down gent and shot craps until the
man from the garage came and
towed him in. He invited me to go
with them, but I knew you would be
back for me when you got around to
it."
"There was a bridge out on the
shortcut" explained Peter quickly.
"I know. The broken-down gent
remembered it about ten minutes
after you had gone. But of course
it was too late then"
you're very game about it, Row
ena. Very sporting l wouldn't
blame you if you didn't speak to me
again from here to the coast"
"Oh, nonsense!" said Rowena
pleasantly. This was just an acci-
dent Accidents never make me mad.
It's just" she added meaningly, lust
l-certain-people.'
| In Kansas City, Bobby found
thirty-one kilograms from Carter,
each increasingly immoderate in its
commands for her to give over this
outrageous conduct and return home
at once.
Rowena had the usual fat one ad-
dressed in the boyish scrawl, and
surely she had read no further than
the first paragraph when she began
counting out her money. Peter had
comforting telegram from Mr..
Rack, with friendly postscript by
Mr.. Ruff, advising that the red
haired siege was lifted and that they
had been honored with a sort of an
apology, but warning them to be
careful of their future conduct.
Mr.. Rack also said they were ex-
tremely pleased with the character of
the work that had been turned out,
and enclosed check for next weeks
expenses. Peter was extremely CRATE
full for that check, for Bobby had
spent the last cent Of her weeks
allowance by Wednesday, after which
time he and Rowena had been obliged
to carry her between them.
"Chaperons come high, don't they e.
grumbled Rowena, as she counted out
nickels and dimes to make up her
portion of Bobby's last manicure.
1t was genuine hardship to them
to be obliged to contribute SO extern
sively to the maintenance of luxury
loving Bobby On the other hand,
her presence was so essential to the
all-important tour that they were IN
no position to quarrel very seriously
even with her extravagances.
For my part, I'd rather pay her
bills than read Carter's kilograms" J."
said Peter moodi1y
"I wouldn't" disagreed Rowena
promptly. Give learned to read with
one eye and listen with one ear, and
that way get through with only
half the mental strain"
"Yes," but you've got rumble to

so have. But I have to sleep
with her.
One thing was certain Her pres
ence was essential, and Carter and his
telegrams, she and her extravagances,
were alike to be endured.
At Topeka she was startled to find
but one telegram awaiting her-a ten
word, straight day message.
"Are you taking first train home
or are you not%
1t was not even signed.
Bobby's fright was so genuine, her
disappointment so real, that Rowena
and Peter tried to console her.
Peter took them out to a movie,
and RoWena-With her own money!

more resigned.
She was very quiet as they crossed
Kansas, and when they complained
of the notoriously hot winds, she
smiled patiently and said she didn't
mind. She ate very little, and had
fifteen cents of her allowance left at
