 l NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER xXXvI. Jim Wallace did leave the house that night but whether or not ht went to the office Gypsy never knew. They had scarcely finished dinner when the telephone rang Jim went to answer and returned in a moment.
 Its Mills," he said. Wants me to come right down. Hope you don't mind being alone?"
 Mot at all. I'll be all right"
 "Well, I'll try not to be gone long but don't wait up for me-" She said goodby and Jim disap. peared. Gypsy left the dining room and walked out on the sun porch There was a full moon lighting the garden and under its mellow glow the place took on new enchant- ment. Low hedges cast enormous black shadows. The sundial was a gleaming spire of purest white. Crickets were chirping and faintly in the distance she heard the hoot o1 an owl. The breeze carried mingled perfume of a dozen different flow CTS.
 A porch swing that creaked in motion stood in the corner. Gypsy sank to its cushions, staring of across the garden. It was as well to be alone, she thought. There was so much to be settled.
 She rocked gently. touching one foot to the floor. Then, annoyed by the noise of the swing, she stopped
 Marcia was here and Jim was in love with her. Those were the facts. What in those circumstances should Gypsy, who was his wife do? It was not the usual triangle This was different. She had never had the slightest claim on Jim's af- factions. There had been occasions when she thought he cared for her but all that had nothing to do with his devotion to Marcia. Now Marcia was back!
 Should she go away? Leave 8 message and depart-even to-ntgh, before he came home? That was a possibility.
 Gypsy considered this. She would have to go some place where Jin, could not find her. Go away? The garden-her garden in which she had worked such long hours seemed to call to her. This house she had striven to make into a home suddenly became doublS precious. Pat, the fox terrier. wan dered across the porch floor and hopped up into the, swing beside her. The dog nestled his nose against her arm.

 "If I only knew she didn't intend to hurt him." Gypsy told herself "I'd go away. If it were anyone else but Marcia I'd leave. Oh, Jim can't you see she's deceitful? To, learned what she is once! Ism that enough? Must you let hel break your heart a second time?" The fragrant wind from the gar den had no answer.
 For a long time she stared ou at the moonlight. There was ar angle to the problem which the gir realized only subconsciously. Witt Marcia Phillips on the s scene Jin Wallace-kind. generous and con siderate-suddenly became more de sirable. Many of Jim's good quail ties Gypsy had accepted without [ thought. There had always beer the contrast in her mind betweeI good -natured. sturdy Jim and Alal Crosby, handsome and tempera mental. Jim had never taken Alan'i place. Now she was amazed to fint Jim had a place of his own. Sh' did not want to give him up t' Marcia Phillips.
