l. Where cyn is, they buy N in

with. Where cyn Is, they buy it in barrels"
 Nevertheless, they got on famously till the day Barney skidded on an Icy road. The bill for his own car was Si7, besides $S7 for the car he hit; and the liability insurance had lapsed the day before because, Bar ney reasoned, there was no use spending money for insurance if you drove with reasonable care.
 The morning after Barney told her that, Janet said, trying to sound very matter of fact, '1 think wed better plan to move the first of the month. While I was marketing yes- terday, I saw some places adver- tised on sand Street for half what we're paying here, and"
 "You're not going to live on S2nd Street."
 And why notp" Janet tried for note of cheerful practicality. Its convenient to all sorts of things, .. More SO than this We can take something unfurnished and get some of Aunt Mary's things out of stor- age"
 "When we move from here" Bar ney said through tight lips, "it will be because we're moving to some- thing better"
 Nevertheless, Janet did 90 house. hunting next day.
 She did not wear her fur coat this time; but a shabby tweed suit and an old hat.
 (TO Be C0nciuded)
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-03

"When you really love Q man" Cynthia had said, you feel like his mother sometimes. That's one way you know"
 For e moment Barney sat mos tionless. Then he lifted his head and looked at her, and as if conn pletely satisfied, drvw @ deep breath, dropped his head again, and put his arms around her.
 This is the way 1t ought to be Jan," he said. The rest of 1t doesn't matter now"
 But it would matter again, Jan knew, terribly. And so she held him all the tighter.
 So they sat, without knowing how long, while the peas dried up on the top of the stove, and the souffle burned to O crisp. Finally they went out and dined on steak and mushrooms at the Auberge, because, Barney said, there was nothing so good for the morale as spending money when you hadn't any.
 Not that 1t was quite as bad as that. The rent at least was paid for a month, Janet had her monthly stipend Barney winced little when she mem toned that, but said, "Swelll We may need it." And Barney still had a title money in the bank, It would have been plenty, he said, if he hadn't had to make that chase across the continent on his own time because the boss had decided the story wasn't worth following up after all.
 But 1t developed that jobs were not growing on every tree. The other papers had already reduced their staffs. Barney made one or two trips to neighboring towns where he knew editors, only to come back with his grin a bit more strained each time,
 Tn the next few weeks Janet learn ed a great many things she had never guessed, even during those comparatively pinched last months with Aunt Mary.
 She learned that one laundry bill may completely wreck Q weeks budget, and spent several back breaking days over the tubs in the basement. She learned that, If windows are to serve their purpose, they must be washed from time to time; and that 1t Is entirely possible to do 1t yourself, clinging with one hand and working with the other while you hang suspended over e dizzzying abyss. She learned to el- bow her way about crowded, untidy markets, because they are the ones where food is cheapest. She learned that 50 cents for the electric meter may seem an enormous item, and that some people can't afford roses even at 26 cents Q dozen.
 The first time Barney found hei on her hands and knees, scrubbine the witchen floor, he turned white lifted her bodily out of the way, and finished the job-somewhat splashily Janet laughed ct him.
 How did you think these things usually got done, you crazy 1rish- man9" she asked. T suppose you imagined the Little Folk came out of their hiding every night and did the days chores for poor but deserv. Ing housewives. We're lucky to have plenty of water to wash the floor
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-03
CHAPTER xxIv

Janet choked down an impulse to cry out, "What Is 1t, BarneyP what has happened?"
 Instead, she said with an atri- ficial brightness for winch she hated herself, Dinners practically on the table, Barney"
 "Could 1t waitp Barney asked, "I - there's something I'd like to get of my chest before we eat.
 why - I'll sec" She tried to speak quietly,
 In the kitchen she said to her self angrily, Don't be such & fool! There's nothing to be worried about
 "Will flv minutes doP" she asked when she went back Il guess the peas will take it."
 Tt will do to cover the high spots"
 He had dropped wearily upon the davenport, his long legs spread before him. Janet sat down not far away, a litle stiffly, her hands folded in her lap to keep them from shaking too much.
 swell, Jan," Barney said, his grin twisting as he spoke, you see before you gentleman of leisure. Tn other words, your huspand mas joined the ranks of the unem- ployed.'
 "Oh?" Janet said, her voice thin and wooden in her own ears.
 "It's almost funny" Barney went on. Here l was, the wise Ruy who knew the inside story of city graft, national corruption, and international trickery, and didn't even know what was going on be- hind the scenes of my own sheet 1t seems, Janet that the News has been on the skids for several months. The owner was counting on private loans to see 1t through the woods. Well, the loans were coming from someone who had good reasons for keeping that story of mine out Of print"
 But I don't understand" Janet said faintly In moment, Then why did they publish any of itp"
 "Well. the owners been hunt. Inn somewhere in the wilds where tl,e interested parties couldn't get to him at once; and 1t wasn't till q day or So ago that old Owl face, himself really Nhew any more about the financial angle than I did." Now he's out on his neck, poor devil, with me at his heels for good measure [ could have stayed If I'd sold them the rights to the story and let them print it with the hot parts killed to save their yellow faces But, Janet, I couldn't"
 ''of course you couldn't" Janet cried hotly. Anyhow, you'll get another job in no time
 "Oh, surcl" He said it little too carelessly aS he lighted Q cigaret. "It isn't . Job I'm wor- rying about. It's -- what e flop l have turned out to be, Jan -- after all the tall talking I've been do- ing
 Suddenly Janet knew she couldn't bear the look in his eyes any longer ---angry, yet shamed and beaten, above his careful smile as if Napologizing to her, begging her to understand. With soft rush she was beside him. and taking his head in her arms, she pillowed 1t on her breast, her check against his fore- head.
 oh, Barney, darling" she mur. inured. "They can't do this to youi I love you too much"
