it amounted to, really" She hurried on, before he could reply; she saw the deep color beginning to stain his face, too, the fire that leapt into his dark eyes.
 "It's you who've changed, Bret, not I. am what I was always, before and after that brief inter Jude. But you are different. You're glum and serious, cross and moody. You won't try to adapt yourself to my world; you won't try to like my friends, learn to live and play. Life isn't all seriousness and work; it should be fun and gaiety, too. I thought you would be big enough to meet this difference. I thought it would take more of a man to make happy marriage with a woman who had so much more than he, it would take more courage, more doing. But it doesn't seem to me you're trying very hard, it doesn't seem as though you were succeed ing. It's you who are different, from the man l married"
 He did not anwSer right away. The deep color drained out of his face; the fire left his eyes. T be- lieve you are right" he spoke at length, slowly. I'm not the same man. I've lost that courage-the things you thought made me diff ferent-ditferent enough to face any situation and conquer it. Different enough to marry the richest woman in the world and make that mar riage a success, to maintain my own independence and birthright and Self-reSpect.
 q told you-the other night before your friends-what I have become. A man who lives on his wifeS charity. A man who fritterS away his days and nights, accom- plishing nothing. A man who can't look himself in the eye and hold up his head. Yes, Connie, I'm different. I have changed. You're right about that" That grim line etched itself around his mouth; there was a new look in the depths of his dark eyes. Bret Hardesty was becoming his old self again, man who knew what he thought, knew what was right-and who had never been afraid of anything.
 You're right" he said once more. q am the one to blame. The only one. I am the one who has changed"
 T suppose you mean" Connie said her breath coming quickly, that it is because of the money. I suppose you'd like me to give it to someone, throw it away. I sup pose you want me to pretend to be Katie Blyn again. Well, I'll not do that! I tell you what I'm going to do. instead, Bret. I'm going to di- vorce you"
 She turned from him now, pulled the cord to summon Gibbs. It was time to begin to pack, if she was going to Bermuda. Time to put an end to this ridiculous scene, force Bret, somehow, to come to his senses. She had not meant to go this far, but since she had, she would stick to it. She would even go through a divorce, if necessary.
 Bret crossed the room, turned the key in the lock, so that the maid could not enter, came back to Connie. He caught her by the shoulders, swung her around. "You are not going to do anything of the sort" he said. T Shan't allow

pERM1T Japan to strengthen
 Shanghai and by means of it she will dominate all China-that is the consensus of Far Eastern experts. A quick glance at this city the greatest prize in all the Orient-revealS why.
 Shanghai is the key to China. China has but one great seaport and that is Shanghai. Alone, the city accounts for 42 per cent of the nations total customs revenue. Located at the mouth of the Yangtze, the Mississippi of China, the city is trade outlet for nearly 200,000,000 people in the vast Yangtze basin.
 And, too, because it is nearest to Japan and America, Shanghai looms as the inevitable head quarters for all Western Pacific commerce. Already it ranks fifth among world ports and is fast gaining in trade clearance.
 Moreover. it is strategic indus trial center. Here vast engineer ing works, docks and factories are located. Some 30 textile mills are owned by Japan alone, employing 60,000, while the British own "A mills and the Chinese four.
 So today, a city of nearly A. O00,000, Shanghai is vitally im- portant both to free China and to an aggressive Japan. Magnifi- cent. modern metropolis. her sea- port trade is depicted on 1886 China stamp.

you to divorce me, ever. I told you once that this marriage was for keeps. meant it. You think now, just because it isn't working out to please you that you can throw it aside-and me-like an old glove. You think you. can follow through every impulse that comes into your silly, pretty head. First to pretend to be some other girl, then to marry me. when you knew I was afraid of such a marriage, now to refuse to help me work it out at the first signs of breaking up. You think your money, which has always got you everything you wanted, can buy a divorce, make an end to every thing between us. But you are mis- taken this time. You are my wife. For better or for worse. In sickness and in health. Until death do us part-remember? You are always going to continue being my wife and you are going to like it."
 Someone had knocked on the door, twisting the handle; Gibbs probably, responding to her mis- tress' summons. The knocking was repeated.
 Bret dropped his hands from Comics shoulders, but not before he had given her hard little shake to emphasize his words, so make them indelible. He turned now, went to the door,
 You may come in, Gibbs,' he said. And no matter what Mrs. Hardesty says, you will not pack her bags for Bermuda. If you do, I shall unpack them. And toss the stuff out the winodw."
 The door slammed after him. Connie could hear his heavy foot steps, going toward his own rooms.
