I with the cream shade, her white onyx table lamp, her gold-coloreo silk bedspread and draperies, two of her favorite pictures, the elec' trio clock which had stood on hei mantle-piece, and a silver bowl loi flowers with candlesticks to match
 By @ prodigy of effort for one unaccustomed to such work, Janet cut and made slip covers for the dingy chairs. With the rugs, cover ing the worst in the carpet, the lamps softly burning, and the 25- cent dozen of roses she bought at the corner market in the silver bowl, they transformed the drabness of the living room into intimate cozi- ness. The curtains, Janet decided, would have to do" for a while. At lsast, they were clean and in offensive.
 Home from the warsl" Barney called, coming in that night, lock- ing taut, but doggedly cheerful.
 Then his eyes lit with incredu- lous pleasure as he stepped into the transformed room.
 Gosh, Jan!" he cried softly. Gosh"
 Like it?" Janet asked proudly.
 Like it?" he echoed, looking about him slowly.
 He took her into his arms and kissed her.
 "If only" Then as if remind ing himself of an> earlier resolu- tion, he broke of abruptly.
 "If only what?" Janet asked.
 "Oh, nothing"
 He released her and turned to take off his coat.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-01

Janet could hardly wait to hurry Barney of to inspect the new apart- ment. Tired as he seemed, his eyes danced in an otherwise respectful face as they inspected the tiny bath tub and then travelled over his own long person.
 "Ah, a shaving mug, I sec" he observed solemnly. T didn't know they still made 'em,"
 "Oh, Barney I'm so sorry!" Janet giggled. But there Is a shower" she added hopefully "That is, If 1t works. I've just discovered that the door to the cabinet doesn't"
 As they went back into the liv. ing room, she apologized, "Of course 1t is a little tacky in spots, Barney; but 1t will do till we find something permanent, won't it?"
 "DoP" Barney said. T think you were alarmed smart to find all this elegance and luxury for what the old budget allows
 swell" Janet admitted some- what guiltily, "as a matter of fact, 1t did cost a little more" .. This was a subject she had meant to lead up to you sec, you have to pay $5 extra If you rent by the month.'
 He seemed, she thought, un. pleasantly startled at first. Then his eyes travelled over her smart fur coat and expensive accessories, and he laughed.
 'If you swept in looking as much like the Duke millions as you do now" he remarked, tits wonder they didn't ask you twice as much. Well, I guess $5 won't upset the international rate of exchange. Of course, when get the new deal they promised mo at the office, we can begin to expand little. You know this isn't what I'd like for you, don't you, Janet?"
 Janet turned hastily away be- fore something wistful in his eyes.
 "But think it's really swell" she declared staunchly. q was just afraid you wouldn't like it.. Look at the cute window seat-and, Barney, you haven't seen the ice box"
 They collected from the Breck- enridge what possessions they need- cd for immediate use, and moved in.
 Upon taking invenotry. they found that practically everything furnished" was @ slight over- statement. It ignored table silver, for instance, and number of minor essentials. So they spent a diverting hour at the flve-and-ten, buying wash rags, paper napkins and tablecloth, and knives and forks and spoons at 10 cents a throw.
 How long do you bet 1t will take us to lick 10 cents worth of plating of the spoons'a Barney wondered.
 A few minutes later Janet, find- ing him before another counter. obviously enchanted by an assort- ment of gayly painted kitchen gadgets. was amused and uneX- pectedly touched. He insisted on buying . memorandum pad for the kitchen, a wastebasket dec- orated with a looking owl, because the owl looked so much like his boss that he'd get @ lot of fun throwing things at 1t, and . half dozen gadgets of mysterious utility, because, he said, they look cd convenient" It was amazing, they found how much money you could spend at 10 cents a throw.
 When they got home, Barney set the wastebasket on the. diving room table and pelted 1t with paper wads until he declared he

felt better.
 "He wants me to cut some of the best things out of my story" he explained. "We've been at 1t hammer and tongs all day about that"
 So that was why Barney looked so tired.
 "But, Barney" Janet cried, sud- denly recognizing what this meant to him, "after you've spent all those months on it.! And why should he, if it's true?"
 "It's because it's true. It begins to look," Barney said soberly, "as if someone had got to him where he lives You see, they didn't take 1t very seriously at first. Now they're beginning to realize that we actually have the goods; and they'll do anything they can to kill it."
 Janet started to cry out, Barney, what do you mean by 'anything'?"
 But she caught herself in time. Barney would hate that. She re- membered that the suggestion that he might be in danger had always seemed to embarrass and irritate him.
 Instead, she laughed, net quite naturally, and said, That sounds to me as if one of those coat-of- mail undershirts might be indi- cated -- the kind gangsters wear, if they really do - and a siX-shooter. Think of the headlines: Ace News Reporter Forced to Go Armed And I'll bet you can't even shoot"
 He grinned; then said with a touch of grimness, You'll lose then" and changed the subject abruptly.
 But she had . feeling that she had somehow let him down. It seemed to her that often, these last few days, there had been that something defensive about Bar ney's grin. She had never noticed that before. She wondered if she only imagined it now because, espe- cially since seeing Cynthia and Tim othy Benton together, she had found herself feeling doubly guilty that she was taking so much from Bar ney and giving so little-most guilty of all when he was least demand ing,
 But Barney, himself, sometimes made it a little hard. Once, when out of the real affection she felt for him, she leaned over behind his chair and put her cheek against his, he said, almost rough- ly, You don't have to pretend, Jan. I went into this with my eyes open"
 And so something of the ease and naturalness of their earlier companionship had gone, leaving nothing in its place.
 Next day Janet had her own ex- quisite linens the things Aunt Mary had monogrammed for her wedding to Lance Barstow sent over from the Breckenridge, to. gether with her other possessions. Among other things there was the imported cretonne she and Aunt Mary had picked up at a sale months ago because 1t would be per- feet for the upstairs sitting room of the white house. She also asked cynthia to send along Aunt Mary's sewing machine.
 In the load Cynthia included, besides. several warm, soft-colored rugs that Janet had bought for her own room, her reading lamp
