they were going to have when they
could afford it how could they
ever afford it if Stan made no ef-
fort. These things, running
through her mind, filling her with a
sense Of hot injustice.
Judy sat, disregarding her cooling
breakfast as she made a series of little
criss-crosses on the cloth with her
flngernail. A little apartment of their
own . . then she wouldn't have to
stay here, in this great big house where
she felt herself to be an outsider. She
wouldn't have to accept Amy's friends
as her own-that queer Patty Warren
and Georgia and Eunice.
And with the thought of Eunice the
jealousy was hot and raging in her
heart again, SO that she found herself
speaking impetuously.
queer Well maybe not queer,
but-but it sounded odd. When we
were leaving here-we-the women
had just been up putting on our wraps
and that Georgia De Haas said some
thing Something about you and-and
Mrs. Wilson"
Stan had been paying little attention
when she started, but at the sound
of Eunice Wilson's name she could see
that he had suddenly become alert
Watchful.
She sensed tensing of his whole
body-of his mind Georgia talks so
much"
"She said" Judy went on in hot
little rush of words, that you and
Eunice Wilson had been sweethearts
before her marriage And that-that
you were all broken up when she mar
ried Wilson and that was why you
went East"
Georgia De Haas is confounded
gossip!" Stan flung the newspaper
aside and his black eyes were blazing.
She's a damned trouble-maker and
why Amy has her around the house
beats me-"
Judy was watching him with mar
rowed eyes and a sinking heart. So it
was true-or he wouldn't be so upset
about it.
Then Stan seemed to get a grip on
himself. He became cooler, but there
was defiance in his black eyes as they
met his wife's squarely

were kids. We went to dancing school

"It wouldn't be bother" Judy said,

Nothing to do.
"The girls'll be up later. You can
trail around with them" he answered
carelessly.
She choked back the retort that she
didn't want to trail around with
them" After all-they were trying to
be kind to her. She mustn't be un-
grateful

But she said :" demon

But that-What you said the first

were clear and painful. But dragged

do you have to rub that in again,
Judy" said Stan, and she saw the
angry little muscle begin to twitch in
his cheek as it always did when he
was agitated. He thrust back his
coffee cup and rose.
She was suddenly on her feet. Over
beside him. Arms about his neck.
Crying on his shoulder-painful, lonely
tears which came from her overcharged
heart.
"Oh, Stan, darling. I've been so
miserable Please, hold me tight.
Tight"
He held her tight, but his mouth
was grim and his eyes-could she only
have seen them-were haunted.
After a moment Judy Strengthened up
with a long sigh and wiped her eyes
on the handkerchief she pulled from
his breastpocket. I'm sorry to make

people have to quarrel sometimes"

- remarks and her own inner
turmoil to herself
Perhaps, had the opportunity not
come up to talk apart with Stan the
next day, she might have managed to
keep it locked in her own heart for
while longer But the opportunity did
present itself.
Stan had an engagement to play golf
with Dart Towers the day following the
dinner dance. He and Judy had break
fast together in the middle Of the fore
noon. No one else appeared at the
table in the sunny little breakfast
room. 1t was too late in the day for
Nine. Carter; too early for STAINS
mother and his two sisters after the
late hours of the night before.
Stan had put on his golf things after
his shoWer-now he sat, dark head
bent over the morning newspaper, deep
in the sporting page.
Though she had slept so little, Judy
had risen at the same time. She was
a little pale this morning and there
was a faint shadow under her eyes.
Had Stan been observant he might
have noticed that his Wife's mouth had
forlorn little droop and that there
was an unusual gravity in her gaze
when it rested on him.
Monte next week end! See the
finals" Stan speaking behind his
newspaper.
Judy could think of nothing to say
when Stan spoke Of golf. Summer
field had boasted no golf course. In
fact, the town had considered golf as
one of those sissy" games rich people
play. But here in Lockwood it was an
important part of life, it seemed. Judy
felt countrified and stupid when Stan
or Amy, or any of those people she
had met last night spoke of Journeys
and courses and scores.
Life was so changed-and so difficult
To think of eating breakfast at this
hour on a week day! Back in Sum-
merfield she would have been working
for a good two hours at the library
sitting behind the square desk with
Miss Briggs, wearing trim wash dress
which she had made herself in her
spare time.
But here was Mrs. Stanley Carter
wrapped in a green satin neglige, pour
ing her husbands coffee from the old
fashioned silver coffee pot which the
attentive Chinese servant had just
brought from the kitchen. Strange
what a difference short time could
make. =.

his heart. Maybe Henderson can get

reached for the cup she held out. I'VE

But how can you get away?" Judy
wrinkled her forehead. you've been

about your Office"
Stan had spoken at length OF the
brokers' office in San Francisco where
he worked.
But he shrugged easily now. "Busi-
ness is rotten. won't be missing any
thing. Might as well go there as hang
around for nothing"
But if business is rotten isn't that
all the more reason for going out ano
working harder" Judy wanted tc
say it, but she checked 1t. After
all-she didn't want to appear to be
driving Stan. Every one in Summer
field worked 1t seemed odd that q

fairs shape themselves. And that

WANT TO LOOK YOUNG?

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must
watch your liver and bOwels-there's
no need of having sallow complex
ion-dark rings under your eyes
pimpIes-a bilious look in your face
dull eyes with no sparkle. Your
doctor will tell you ninety per cent
of all sickness comes from inactive
bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known ply
sician in Ohio, perfected vegetable
compound as a substitute for calomel
to act on the liver and bowels which
he gave to his patients for years.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are
gentle in their action yet always ef-
fective. They help bring about that
natural buoyancy which all should
enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.

The smile was going from Stans
face. 1t wore the black look which
the mention of Nick Carter could
always conjure up.

their rare energies in conflict

University they will be shielded
from all such unpleasantneSs,
and-we shall see what we shall

And personally, just between
one mutt n another, I'm bet
ting that we'll see a flop.

so often fail?
There was that young fellow
who worked with you in your
first job ten years ago. Re
member how he shot ahead?
Certainly seemed as if he had

But how about his record since
then? One job after another.
Always starting big-aI the

couple of weeks the same old
thing-blowing up; tangling
with someone; getting mad at
some trifle; going off in a huff.
Bright fellow. One Of the
brightest fellows you have ever
known; BUT HE COULDN'T

And there was that girl who
took all the honors in high
