He had reserved a suite at the
MlramaT, one OF the most attrac-
tive OF Lake City's apartment no
tells. Eve was enchanted with the
rooms. Through narrow French
windows she looked out over the
idle. wintry lake.
! Dick she cried. He caught
her in his arms and held her close.
Then she tried TO tell him how
much she had worried all week,
fearing he would not forgive her
having run away.
DO you mind awfully that your
wife is going 10 continue working?"
she asked hesitantly.
Il mind-yes,' Dick answered.
but l told you last week how
feel about it. From now on it's up
to you
Eve felt uncomfortable. She was
not quite sure what attitude she
wished him to take in this matter.
You didn't write" she accused
him.
Il didn't run away from you" he
reminded her. "And-it was silly,
suppoSe-but I couldn't bring my
self TO address a letter to my wife
as Miss Eve BayleSS. Besides. ]
was having too much grief on the
Job last week 10 find time TO write
in the daytime Evenings l spent
looking at apartments
Well, the last I saw of you you
seemed to have pretty lively con-
solation!' Eve said poutingly.
What do YOU mean?"
Il thought perhaps your time
was taken up with your friends"
Eve had not meant to refer to the
young man and girls Dick had met
at the station the night of their
marriage. She waited now, expect
ing an apology or at least an ex-
PLANTATION. but none came.
Who was hep" Ewes voice was
pitched a note too high but she
managed to keep it steady. Dick
did not answer her question. He
was simply being exasperating:
making her be explicit. Very well!
Who was the man you met at
the station?' she repeated.
Joe Casper
I've never heard you mention
him. Is he friend Of yours?"
Hes the timekeeper on the job. u
And the girls-who were they?"
They answered TO the names OF
Peggy and Babe
Il didn't know you liked that sort
Of girls
What sort?"
oh, the kind who picks up a
strange man and let's him call her
by her first name right from the
start"
so that's it, Well. you're
wrong. Those girls are harmless
enough. Casper's engaged 10 Peggy
| II that treasures you.
Where did YOU go after you put
me on the train?'
To the Merry round" Dick
answered frankly The Merry GO
round was Lake City's best known
night club.
I'VE considered this. And sup
Il pose the girls went too?" she
asked
"Yes-of course" Dick was OBJ
viouSly irritated.
"A perfect frame-up!@ Eve &C
cused
Now see here. Eve!- Dick ex-
ploded 1t was entirely an accident
that Joe happened to see me there
I didn't know I was going to the
station at that time and you know
it"
But the fact remains that on
our wedding night you went out to
have a good time with some one
elSel"
Well. what did you expect me 10
do-go home and cry!'
But you had all those evenings !"
Eve Sputtered. Il suppose YOU were
too busy with Joe Casper's friends
And that will be that" Dick said
with emphasis.
Silence. Then, with head high,
Eve went 70 the bathroom 10 battle
her eyes with witch hazel and re-
pair her complexion.
When she reappeared she smiled
at Dick wiStfully. He held out his
arms and she slipped into them.
Eve whispered coaXingly. Just how
did my darling spend his evenings
last week?"
With a snort OF impatiencs Dick
withdrew his arms, turned and
walked TO the window. Then he
said. Looking for an apartment, of
course"
This one is perfect Eve assured
him. I'm sure we'll never tire
OF it."
Dick was silent. Obviously some
thing was wrong. Eve made another
attempt.
1t was a terrible thing for me to
90. know" she conceded. Il don't
believe any girl ever had such a
situation to face on her wedding
day. I'm sure no one ever had so
unsatisfactory a honeymoon.
Dick turned and her penitent ex-
preston quite melted him.
That wasn't our honeymoon" he
answered huSkily. We're begin
