Amanda arrived at the station barely in time to have her suit case swung aboard the bus and crowd her 160 pounds into the only vacant seat. She was breathless from exertion and the backwash of her anger.
 She had stormed at Jason that morning, but he had kept his mouth shut in Q thin-lipped line. There was hard look in his eyes when she demanded that he get rid of the old shepherd dog, Peter.
 She knew, of course, that Jason and the dog had been pals since before the death of the first Mrs Jason Kent. Peter had been de- voted to the first wife. but had al- ways seemed to regard Amanda as a sort of unavoidable presence. She wasn't Jealous, but she hated the thought.
 Peters teeth were bad---too much trouble to fix his food. Be- sides, his big body was always clut- tering up the f1oor--that is, when he wasn't with Jason at his shoe shop on Main street.
 She had repeatedly suggested to Jason that he dispose of Peter. The first time was right away after she had changed her name to Kent over a year ago--when Jason had said: "I'd about as soon dis pose of-myself."
 Other times he had been silent or said "Humph" Once he had said: "Nagg!ng won't get you any, where with me, Amanda"
 Was she mad! "Nagging" was the word her first husband had used right up to the day he had walked out on her and put her to the trouble of getting a divorce.
 This morning she had given her ultimatum: Either Peter goes or go back to Los Angeles"
 Jason's eyes had looked queer and suddenly she was afraid of him. He had left the room, fol- lowed by Peter, and she had screamed after him: I'm taking the Los Angeles bus this morning, and I won't be back till you write me you're rid of Peter"
 He had called back, "All right, Amanda. I'm considering" and stalked down the path. He'd come to terms mighty quick when he got hungry for good food. Her cooking had won Jasor when she was working at the Wicked Waffle cafe over on the highway.

as far as she could see 1t. She craned her neck. Yes, 1t was. She thought of the gun-and 1t made her feel ill.
 If he caught up he would make a scene, and that would be terribly humiliating before the other pas- sengers. She was sure now that glitter in his eyes had meant trou- ble.
 She struggled forward to the driver and whispered, hoarsely. My husband is following me and Pm afraid of him--he owns q
 He better not try using it. you're safe with me. Besides, our next stop is in front of police "Oh, I'm so gladr' she gasped and crowded back to her seat. Some one was saying. ''that fel- low following us has had to change a tire"
 Amanda felt relieved. Maybe he
 couldn't catch up, now. Suddenly the bus eased over to the side of the road and stopped.
 The driver jumped down and tin-
 kered with the motor. Some of the passengers got out. Amanda was in agony until the driver was satisfied to go on again. The man behind her said, "The. driver told us your husband is fol-
 lowing you. We're all agreed to protect you."
 "oh. thank youl" she murmur- ed, gratefully. ,. After a few miles she looked back and Jason was in sight, making good timc. "If he threatens me I'll have him arrested! How he'll hate thati"
 They were approaching another village. Here we are" the driver announced. Everybody stand by the lady who's being followed"
 Sure enough. there was the po-- lice station, like haven of refuge.
 All attention was turned on the car which drew up behind the bus. Amanda saw Jason get out--then she shut her eyes. That awful gun was probably in his hand-thrust
 into his pocket. She opened her eyes, but not daring to look at his hand, she watched his determined face.
 She could see that queer glitter in his eyes IS he came close to her. Why didn't somebody do s0me- thing? She couldn't scream--her throat seemed locked.
 Then Jason was standing direct ly in front of her saying. mildly, Amanda, here's that suitcase you packed--and forgot--you're going to need all your clothes" Copyright, 1884.

DAILY SHORT sTORY.- AMANDA'S BUS They QuarreIed and She Left Him, Towing Never to Come Back Until He Sent for Her.

1. His expression this morning had reminded her Of the time he had been furious about being held up at the shop and had bought c gun. Jason wasn't a coward. though. She had made an awful fszss about the gun--it had scared her to death. He had said, Amanda, ! bet could make you do most any, thing by pointing that gun at you" She had answered, Don't be too sure of that" It riled her that he

 Then she remembered Jason had said this morning, "I might he

 bus if she had burdened herself with the secnnd suitcase she had packed.
 Her thoughts were disturbed by the man behind her saying,
