thoroughly and absolutely spoiled. That was the root Of all tho tr0u. bio between them. Harry had not been able to givo her tho things to which she was accustomed. Hhir- loy's family mover had thought that he was good enough for Shirley. They looked at each other in an awkward silence, both of them overcome with thelr memories of marriage which crashed.
 They had started out romantloai. ly enough. Fell in lovo at first string. Shirley had thought that t was fun It first to try to make Thon Harry lost his job and t wasn't fun any longer. Shirley had nover known what it was to do without actual necessities, and sh0 couldn't stand it.
 THEY WENT BACK
 TO LIVE HOME
 They wont back to live with shirloy's family. Just for a while, of course, until Harry got on his fOot agnin. But 1t had stretched out intorminably. Shirley WAS happy enough. She would always Do happy as long as she was got. ting everything she wanted. Sho could not understand why Harry should not be satisfied. Accepting charity from shirloy's folks was tho bittorest pill his pride had ever had to swallow. Tho result was tangled nerves and petty quarrcls.
 Harry remembered that they had quarreliod about Q. hundred things in those days, About Bryce, Tor instance. Bryce was tho man Shlr. Joy ought to have married. He was rich, and handsome - and oasure.ioVing, like Shirley. Bryce had formed tho habit Of stopping by with his car to take Shirley and her mether driving. Harry wasn't fooled by it. Hc knew that Bryee's interest was In Shirley, and that her mother was only Invited for appearanee's sake' But Shirley did not seo as deeply ns Harry. bho seomed to onJoy Dryeo's cavalier attentions.

 HARRY SNEElltc tcD,
 INQUIRE AFltAlD-"
 Harry snoerod, "Youre afraid-- afraid you might miss out on a few luxurics! That's tho trouble with youl You've been sheltered so much that you arc afraid Of iifel"
 That was six months ago, and from that day to this they had not set eyes on each other. As Harry looked Ut her now he saw that BhO was still tho same pretty, shallow Shirley, wrapped up In her Bllsen luxury. Lounging In an expensive, flower. r.banked hospital room to rest hor norvoB.
 She was making conversation In q quicls, rather. nervous voice. Tri. vial conversation. And no an. swered her in Nike mood. Both of them avoided any mention of per- sonai problems. Each, subeon. seiouaiy, was waiting for tho other to mako tho first move.
 Then suddenly that same awk. ward silence foll over them again, shirley loaned back against her pillows. From somewhere down tho hall eamo tho thin wall Of . baby, followed by tho muFmur Of c Wo. mans soothing voice.
 Thcro was c strange expression on bhlriey's face. lt seemed to Harry that sho was subtly changed. She looked somehow c little oldor, and tho brightness with which sh0 had forced hersolf to greet him had slipped away. In Q strained voleo Shirley said;
 "They bring him to her to Do fod at thls tlmo every day!"
 startled, Harry said; "WhatY aboutr"
 "Tho woman in tho next room. 1 had to have an accident and como to q hospital to learn about lifol Harry, that woman has never had anytflng--and she's suffered terri. bly--but she's happier than l am"
 Suppressod excitement trembled In her voice. When she turned 10 him Harry saw that her eyes were shining and damp, and his hoart turned ovor. Ht.
 Shirley cried. "i'm not happyl I've kidded myself that l was, but I'm noti 1 thought 1 knew what 1 wanted, but these days lying here--thinking about everything have showed mo that l was on tho wrong track Harry, you don't know how miserable pv0 boen!"
 In that moment q great gulf of misunderstanding was brldged. With one stride Harry was close, taking her fragile hands iR hls. It was tho first time since no entered the room that they had lot go of thoir artificial stiffness.
 "shirIey, if you mean thati"
 1T do! lot you go away once but I'd iike to try again--if you still want mol l think--f could do better this timei"
 "Hhlrl0y--dearl"
 His arms wero tight about h0r. Shirley cried softly against his shoulder It had taken m accident Co bring them together but they both admitted that 1t was R very lucky accident.

That realization left . peculiar impression on Shirley. She blamed herself indirectly because he would not have done 1t if she hadn't encouraged him. Looking back now, shocked to her sober young senses by the accident, she could not imagine why she had en- couraged him. She could not im- agine why she had been 30 reck- less--s0, utterly insane.
 Bryce'e rOses--a great bowl, white and scarlet-stood In tho central position on her table. His note which accompanied them had been apologetic, and then had gone on to say that things had reached . crisis between them. They could not go on any longer like this. She must divorce Harry. Shirley had torn up the note, overwhelmed with swift rush of shame.
 On an impulse Shirley requested tho nurso to remove Bryce's roses, and take them to the woman in tho next room. Shirley had too many howers-the air was heavy with
