MORE than one driver cursed
1V1 Bob Weston freely as he
swung the gray roadster in and out
of traffic.
Miraculously. through some me-
chanical agility that had nothing
whatever to do with conscious eff
fort, Bob avoided each impending
collision. A dozen times he skirted
the edge Of disaster
Streets and intersections flashed
by in orderly sequence but he did
not recognize them. They were part
of a topSy- turvy world. a scheme
awry from BobS viewpoint
Now he knew that. despite doubts
and disappointments. he had al
ways set Joan apart from other
women. Only to find that she was
common clay after all, pitifully
frail and humanl
She was wearing a mask, eX-
plotted and glorifed like some
cheap, intriguing show girl. There
could be but one Interpretation of
Joans presence in that luxurious
apartment. She was living there as
Mrs. Barney Blake.
Bob assured himself that he
would put her out of his life now,
utterly and completely. From now
on he and Joan would go their
separate ways He would never
think Of her again. The picture of
her as he had seen her a short time
ago-a little girl in a simple dress
with her sweet mobile mouth and
wide. blue eyeS-he would wipe
from his memory forever.
But he could not forget the way
she had responded TO his kisses the
way she had whispered. DO YOU
love me, BOb?" What could it mean
except that she was willing to cheat
this other man who had taken her
so far along her ambitious way?
Bob let himself into the great
hall Of his home and mounted the
stairs. A light was burning in his
fathers room and the door was
slightly aiar. That you. Bob?" his
father called.
Yes, sir"
The older man was propped I'D
in bed. pillows behind his back and
a book in his hand.
Sorry I dashed away in such
hurry. Dad" Bob said.

THERE were nearly two hours
Il before sailing time, and Barney
suggested drive. They passed the
New York Yacht Club basin with
Its tumble of sea craft. Pats gaze
was caught by a group of Young
people about to board a private
yacht.
She called Barney's attention to
the gay group and, with his atten-
ton diverted, they almost couided
with a long black limousine. shoot
ing past. There were two men in
the back seat of the black car.
II they stopped a moment they
would have seen the men-a tall
blond young fellow and grav-
haired man-join the crowd board
ing the yacht. But Joan was talk
ing to Mrs. Blake and Pats eyes
were only for Barney.
A little later. Joan and Mrs. Blake
stood on the pier in the milling
crowd. Everywhere there were
happy, excited voices, the furry of
departure. Good-bys were being
said, baggage carried aboard.
Barney and Pat stood at the rail
OF the big liner, looking down on
Joan and Mrs. Blake. Barney was
beaming and proud. Pats eyes
were shining.
"Goodby. Well write" Barney
promised.
You know you WON'T Mrs.
Blake chided. smiling.
Then we'll cable"
Happy voyagel" called Joan.
And then Barney was waving and

Joined hundreds of others. Slowly
the little tug boats eased the liner
out into mid-stream. Slowly the
liner turned heading toward the
sea.
Well be lonely" Mrs. Blake said.
Wen miss them" Joan replied
guiding Barney's car through the
thick traffic. She was thinking that
she wouldn't be lonely Never again!
Perhaps even now a telephone call
from Bob was waiting for her at
the apartment
The afternoon newspapers would
be sure to have a story about Pats
and Barney's marriage. Bob would
see it. Anyway. by now he must
have reasoned things out and real
lied that there was no cause for
his foolish jealousy.
But no call was waiting for Joan
when she arrived. She refused to
allow that to depress her She filed
the afternoon with attempts at
reading, wrote a long letter to her
mother, and busted herself about the
apartment.
