CHAPTER XIII.

NATSY crouched deeper in the
- leather chair of the sun par
lor, q part of the shadows and
as silent as them. She sat as
motionless as q portrait, hating her
self for the nerves that clutched at
her throat like tense fingers and the
intolerable pounding of her heart
Like a giant yellow eye the Autumn
moon stared through the tall windows
of the sun parlor and beamed on the
slender figure of Kitty Cavendish,
who had slipped quietly and unob-
served from the corridor and stood
pressed. close against the framework
of the door. 1t was obvious that she
was avoiding the whispering group of
nurses who were on their way to the
midnight mass supper or perhaps q
cigarette on the wrought-iron bal
comics.
Kitty's face wore a curious express
sion. Now, as on the night when she
had returned to Annapolis from Rome
to find Lee and Patsy in each others
arms, she smiled a strangely meas
uring smile that showed teeth with
out lighting her eyes. 1t was smile
that a man might wear who turks
armed in dark places and watches
his victim approach.
She did not see Patsy. She did not
know that the sun parlor held any
one or anything but the dim shapes
of the shabby hospital furniture. Her
eyes we're steadily on the corridor
dark and quick and anxious. Several
times she made a motion as if to
hurry on her way, but voice. the
flicking signal of q patients light or
the closing of a distant door kept
her-kept her
Kept her from what?-Patsy Won
dered. What was Kitty doing in the
hospital? Had her visit any connec-
tion with Victor? Was she keeping a
clandestine trySt with doctor? Why
was she hiding like this? Why?
Crouching there in the deep leather
chair, fearing every second that Kitty
would hear her excited breathing,
that her teeth chattering like distant
musketry would make Lees wife con-
scious of her presence, Patsy studied
the woman'S face. This woman who
had twisted and distorted Lees life
and her own!
Once she had thought Kitty
Mitchell Cavendish the most beauti-
full creature she had ever seen, with
her white skin. her shining black
hair and that certain vividneSS about
her that made men turn to look at
her Once she had wondered how
such a sweetly exotic person could
treat Lee as she had. 1t had been
hard to reconcile Kitty's caustic con-
verSation, which Lee had repeated in
detail, with her almost serene coun-
tenance.
You can't get divorce, Lee, with
out the delicate ceremony of bring
ing man and bed or both into
court. I haven't the slightest inten-
tion of furnishing you with the nee
essary evidence"

sleep last night, and the probability
that / will be late for work, and the
boys late for school, I'm sure you
ought to be-"
The puncture wasn't my fault, "
Mary protested mildly. "and, besides,
there is no necessity of any ones be-
ing late"
Il thought it was foolish from the
beginning" Henry harped on. Just
because you used to go to school with
this fellow, we had to 90 clear to
Claremont to hear him play. There's
plenty of chances to hear good violin
lists right here in our town without
chasing off 100 miles to hear one"

IF TT hadn't been for that wretched
puncture coming home, you
wouldn't feel that way" Mary replied
calmly. 1--WE don't often hear con-
certs by world-famous violinists or
have invitations to receptions in their
honor afterward."
Henry offered no replay, but Henry,
jr., seized the opportunity to air his
grievance. Mother, the teacher said
that problem you showed me how to
do yesterday was wrong" he said.
"IIl look it over while you are eat
ing breakfast, sonny" Mary promised,
but she had forgotten a prior offer.

"If that coffee is ready I'll take
time to swallow q cup of it." Henry,
ST., offered with the air of one who
bestows a favor.
IT'S ready" answered his wife
imperturbably. Come on, boys, eat
your breakfast"
"You needn't fix any for me-" A
tall girl with her mothers brown
eyes and fair skin stood in the door
way. II haven't any classes this
morning, so I am going back to bed

Jean, flushed and lovely. was

she said absently, sort of old-fash-

Mary, busy now pouring Henry

a quick breath before she exclaimed,

poem in some other language-Ger-

 Washington, June 16 - (UP) - Receipt of his soldiers bonus meant lot to Guy E. Hines, government guard.
 With his bonus bonds in his poc- ket he sat down and wrote long letter to his wife, Mrs. Gle De West Hines, living in Council Bluffs, Iowa, saying that as soon as he cashed his bonds, he would be able to send for his wife and children.
 Before finishing the letter, he checked in on his 3:45 a. m, round but failed to appear at 4:45 a. m.
 Another guard investigated, and found Hines at the bottom of the elevator shaft. Apparently he step- ped into the shaft at the 9th floor level, thinking the car was there and plunged 100 feet to his death. 18O,OO0 In New England
