Dolly WAS going into warmth and

exceedingly difficult to keep Dolly
in the DARK. Shed be glad when
Dolly's questioning eyes were in
Havana. I'D have nothing to do.
Dan travels all week. Giving up

Dolly sighed. Just the same. IL

for him a great deal. Do you

I'd like TO be poor with him. I'd

Marian said nothing. Dan had
been gone for two weeks For two
weeks she had lived in a daze.
She had given no thought to the
coming child. she had simply gone
on, guided by the habit grooves
in her brain. The time had come
for action.
She must give up the apartment,

She had seen few flakes OF snow
that day. Winter was upon her
and May followed on the heels OF

That night she made scrambled.

as long as possible. About the
first of February she would ask
for leave of absence. 1t wasn't
advisable. she knew that. Sally
Blake would be well entrenched
long before her return. But she
had confidence in Mr.. Fellows.
Even though he refused to take
her back as secretary, he would
find a place for her. a place where
she might earn enough to support
herself and the baby.
The baby--the idea was still so
fantastic as TO be a distasteful
something which lay in the dim
future. Something to be gotten
over as easily and speedily as pos
sible. Not one hint OF wonder or
sentiment connected itself with the
coming of Marian's child. Shed
do something about it when the
time came-there were nursing
homes-children's hospitals.
In the midst of her planning,
the apathy parted like a dark
curtain. She was flooded with q
need for Dan. a pain-filled longing
for him. Why didn't he write7
How could he have been so cruel
to her? Terror, more CHASTITY than
any she had ever known, froze her
heart. Had Dan really left her7
Would he never come back?
