 CHAPTER VII
 Janet did not seem to hear what he was saying. Then it's true!" she repeated. "oh, Roif--you were there!"
 ''Well. I'm not denying it. I don't see that it's anything to make such fuss about, though. Is there any, thing wrong in going to see show once in while? For Lord sake, Janet, what's the use of pretend ing? Things can't go on this way"
 No" she agreed. "They can't go on this way"
 He looked at her. surprised at the quiet tone. Rolf hated scenes as do all men. Was Janet really going to be sensible about this?
 "Listen." he said more kindly, "I know I said I was going to the wrestling match. Shouldn't have said that, I suppose. But didn't want to-well, to hurt your feel ings. Don't you see. Janet? You know as we'll as do that our en- gagement doesn't mean anything. You don't want to get married. If you did we'd have been married months ago. You think more of that job of yours than you do of me-"
 She was listening now. He saw that her eyes had filled with tears. How can you say that?" she inter- rupted. There was hysteria min gleA with the protest in her voice. Tt isn't true. Rolf! Oh, you know it iisn't!'
 So there was to be a scene after all. The young man frowned.
 f''I don't know anything of the sort" he said sortly. But I guess you were right about 1t. I can see now we'd never have made a go of it. You and are different, Janet. We don't even like the same things!"
 Ine glrI StdrIeQ 10 speak put whatever she meant to say was lost in half-escaping sob.
 "You never care if you're having a good time or not" Rolf went on. Well, do. I like to get out and go places. see things and know what's going on. Sitting around home evenings gives me the creeps! Work all day and save your money that's all you think about. Well, what's the use? We've tried 1t for almost a year now and it doesn't work. It never will! We could go on this way for years and we'd never be any nearer getting mar ried than we are to-day. It's be- cause you don't really want to marry me-"
 Janet had found her voice. The words sounded Ia little queer, not quite natural, but she said quickly, Il didn't know you felt this way, Rolf. Why didn't you tell me? thought we were having good times"
 Good times? Sitting through movies everyone else in town has seen .six months ago dancing in cheap chop suey joints, bus rides well that's not my idea of a good time! What does it get you? Noth- ------------------- :
