impulse that had caught her up,

impulse that had caught her up, rushing her along on its torrent. She had to do something. Some thing to hurt Bret. To even the score. To force him to let her win. To make him think she hated him.
 They were living in complete unhappiness now, like strang- CTS, like people who had never known each other. Bret stayed in his rooms; Connie in hers. During the day he was gone, she did not know where, or with whom. She did not know what his plans were.
 She did know that she would not go on this way. She could have gone to Bermuda. If Bret had unpacked her things, tossing them out of the window, as he had threatened, she could have re- packed others. She could have left. But that would have been only a temporary arrangement. Nothing final. She had told Bret she meant to divorce him. That was what she would bring about, no matter how it was managed.
 She did not have any grounds against him. She might have man. aged to have faked some; but she knew he would fight them. She knew he would fight, no matter what she did. After the moment, when he had held her by her shoulders and had shaken her, and had told her he would not divorce her, that she was his wife, and would remain his wife forever, he had become again the Bret he had been before their marriage. The Bret she had loved, whom she had felt she could trust, with whom. she had known she need never be afraid of anything. Though now it was this same Bret whom she hated-or did she really hate him?
 She supposed he hated her. He behaved as though he did. He had accused her of changing him, or robbing him of his self-respect. He would not go her way; he re- fused to accept her world, her friends, anything in it. She would not return to his. There was noth- ing for her to do except to make him hate her.
 Then had come this cunning plan. If she could make Bret hate her enough, if she could prove to him that she really was not his wife, make him believe her un- faithful, untrue to those VOWS he thought so solemn, so binding, then he would divorce her. She would have won.
 She did not stop to consider how bitter might be such victory. How long the gnawing remorse. How futile the tears.
 When are you going to tell him?" Rodney asked one day soon after this luncheon. He was eager, exultant. When are you going with me, Connie dear?"
 Tonight" she answered. What was the good of waiting? What was the sense of going on another day, or night?
 You mean you'll go away with me tonight?" Rodney caught her hands in his. You must not say you will-again-and not mean it, Connie. You never should have run away from me that first time."
 No, she supposed not. Yet, if she hadn't, she never would have had those happy busy days in the

 Already abreast of the broader anatomical knowledge of his day, such as the circulation of the blood, Sylvius turned to chemistry for his answers. He devoted much attention to examination of the digestive fluids such as saliva, gas- tric juice and the secretion of the pancreas, with the result that his school added vastly to the knowI. edge of physiological processes.
 And Sylvius blazed still other trails in medicine. So closely and accurately did he describe parts of the human brain that today his name is identified with four por- tions of the nervous system.

Around them voices rose, fell,

interest in the scene except as the
lawyers words concerned Ronald,

The lawyer patted her hand as
he rose to move away. "The lads

When the girl looked into the
lawyers face. startled wonder on

Ronald is dependable, Judy.

Judy nodded mutely.
"What do you think about Abbey
and Ronald?" the man asked her
almost sharply.
IT hope they'll be happy" Judy
said, and wandered off to join the
group by the tea table.
It was no use consoling herself
with the erroneous idea that 10y
atty alone had held Ronald to
Abbey. An engagement was an

Judy got her hat and coat and
pocketbook, thanked her step
mother for the tea, and started
home. She decided to walk for
awhile. Fifth avenue was cold and
bare and the clothes for the Flor
ida resorts and cruises to Ber-
muda had been removed from the
windows of the shops. Some were
presenting the more sedate things
for early spring. Other windows
were covered with canvas or silken
curtains while the artists prepared
them. A raw wind was blowing.
She hailed a taxicab and leaned
against the slippery leather cush-
|

Marjorie was gone. Craig had
been gone a long time. Now
Ronald was going. That was life.

CHAPTER Al

SUNDAY AFTERNOON Judy
went to tea at her fathers pent-
house. Sarita had telephoried in
wiling her. Ordinarily she would
have given an excuse. Today she
wanted to go.
Brushing her hair, Judy admit
ted to the candid eyes in her dress
ing table mirror that she had a
reason. Somebody might have
news of Ronald and the law firm
! In the excitement of seeing him
the night before, she had forgot
ten to ask him the outcome of his
resignation. He had not offered
the information. But of course
the resignation would be rejected.
And yet-the proud old legal
firm hated publicity. 1t did not
deal with sensationalism. It's cli-
ents were solid, reputable houses
with a dislike for notoriety.
! The long drawing room at the
penthouse had not changed. The
tea table with its silver stood near
the white fireplace. Sarita, in a
red dress, sat on white leather
chair as she poured tea. All that
was part of yesterday.
Judy felt strange and formal.
Six months ago this was home.
Her own room had been down the
hall. She wondered how it looked
with her possessions removed from
it. She slipped away to the room.
Sarita had refurnished it, copy
ing her bookshelves, tables, lamps,
chairs, even the bed, as closely as
possible. If her own prints had
been there Judy could have be-
llieved she had stepped over the
threshold tofyesterday.
"Your father did it." Judy did
not know Sarita had followed her
until her stepmother spoke at her
shoulder. XXI
my father?"
"He still believes that some day
you will come home. When you
do, he wants everything waiting
for you just as it was"
mo one uses it now?" Judy
asked.
mo one, my darling! It's your
room"
Judy went to the chest of draw
ers, opened the top one.
"Why, Sarita!" she exclaimed.
There were piles of cobwebby un-
derthings in it.
Sarita smiled. IT did that, Judy.
You'll need things, you know!"
Judy laughed. half provoked.
"You're a pair of darlings and /
love you both for it, but don't you
believe I can take care Of myself :?
Pm doing it-Tm saving money
every week."
Yet she was touched. Her IA
lther did want her. He had not
banned her in his heart or he
would not have made ready for
her when she would choose to re-
turn. Sarita was kind, too.
When Sarita and Judy returned
to the drawing room they found
more guests. Mr.. Heaton and Mrs.
Heaton were there. They greeted
Judy warmly.
At the first opportunity she
