She hustled off, her petticoats swinging.
Margaret stood looking after her. ashamed,
because she knew people aren't kind. They
are mean and grasping, and suspicious, and
selfish. And she herself was beyond the pale.
She thought of Toad and shivered.
But now the chance of sending that tele-

Margaret, appalled,, before know where l

Leon to do some shopping for her, and good
naturedly he had refused, saying he hadn't
the time.
For once she lost her temper and 1ared
out at him: What on earth do you do,
anyway
He had smiled at her, and raised one eye
brow. "Oh, this and that, you know" said
Leon, vaguely This and that"
She looked at him quizzically. wondering
For the first time it struck her that Leon
might not be as satisfied with their odd life as
she had comfortably supposed. That he was
seeking, as men do consolation elsewhere
And the idea made her, for some reason, angry.
Very angry. The more she thought it over, the
more certain she grew. Men did that sort of
thing, but she, Margaret, had no intention of
letting herself be put in such humiliating
position.
She would find out, once and for all. If he

and opened the door of his car, and said,
''Snuggle up"
When he proposed she said ''yes" at once,
and closed her eyes when he kissed her, be-
cause she saw a lean dark face. The news
papers let themselves go all over again.
The house in the Avenue he took her home
to, was large and luxurious and comfortable.
1t stood in it's own grounds, the little houses
in the Avenue struggling round it, like chill
dren playing ring -o-roses. Margaret used to
look at them sometimes at night, bitter envy
in her heart. They were so happy - the
Wintons, and Miss Louella Grey, the film
star, who had no one but herself to please
Margaret almost hated young Mrs. Winton.
Her husband. Lorne, was dark and slender.
Leon was everything Margaret did not ad-
mire Fair, and lazy, and rather slow minded
At least, she always thought he was. He went
up to town most days, though he did nothing
whatever but sit around his club, she sup
posed, wasting time. Yet she hardly ever
asked him to do something for her that he
did not reply that he hadn't spare moment.
He was generous, and very kind, and no
trouble whatever If he was secretly disap-
pointed with his bargain, he gave no sign. If a
bride who spent their wedding night in floods
of tears, and ever afterward asked of him only
that he would leave her alone. came as
shock to him, he kept it to himself.
So three years passed Each year Margaret
told herself that now she would try and forget
Saville and settle down, - cut the bitter
memory from her heart. And then Saville
would write, one of his dry, witty letters. Or
he would send her photograph Of himself,
clean-cut lean, in polo kit, and then it would
all start over again.

he told her. his grim mouth and shadowed
eyes. 1t was out of the question for him to
marry on his present pay, and he must set her
free. They said goodby on one of those sad
days of Autumn when the trees shed golden
tears, leaf by leaf.
Il shall never love anyone but you," he
whispered brokenly. And she knew it was true
She clung to him, speechless with grief unable
to believe that he would leave her. If only
he had asked her to wait, she would have
waited. If only he had promised to come back.
He didn't. He sailed away to India, and
for Margaret life seemed over In Cheshire,
Mrs. Findhorn had nervous breakdown.
In London, people looked at Margaret with
pity not untinged with that satisfaction it is
so difficult not to feel when the fortunate suf-
fer reverse, and the Mighty are Put Down
from Their Seat.
People laughed unkindly at the way Leon
let himself be picked up again. He smiled and
raised one eyebrow and looked at Margaret

had always been kind to her. She had put
him down, and picked him up again when she
wanted him, just like parcel. If this had
happened, she had only herself to blame.
Walking back from the station she suffered
a sudden qualm, hating herself. 1t was
dreadful thing to do! She paused outside the
post Office If there was no one inside whom
she knew, she was more than half-minded to
