The air. plane pictured on the stamp above was that in use in 1923, when the stamp was issued.

mess. He kept it under control, never once had he tried to tell her, or kiss her, or in any way at all de- part from the self-assumed role of brotherly companion.
 She knew, lying there, that if any of this had come up while Bill was at home, he would have roared with laughter. He wouldn't t have believed word of 1t.
 But while he was away, while he scarcely ever saw her and had nothing but letters and brief visits to depend on, it was all too likely that any malicious word might SOW the seed of suspicion. Night after night, he was confined to the camp. Knowing that Martha was free to do as she pleased - know ing that Paul saw her every day at the office
 What can I do to stop Su- Zanne? What can I do?"
 Suddenly she sat bolt upright. Paul could stop her! I'll tell Paul first thing in the morning."
 She felt better, having reached that decision. She was brushing her hair for bed, the heavy load of dread somewhat lighter now, when someone banged on her door.
 What is it?"
 "Mrs. Marsllall?" That was her landlady's voice. "A telegram just came for you"
 Martha threw the door open. Had something happened to Bill? Her fingers trembled as she ripped the envelope. She stared down at the yellow message whil e her landlady stood there, asking hope fully, Anything wrong?"
 The wire was not from Bill. It was from Eugene, her brother-in- law. And it said, HELEN IN HOSPITAL CRITICALLY ILL. CAN YOU COME RIGHT AWAY?" (To Be Continued)

Suzanne stopped, her eyes sud- denly guarded. Hello
 That's stunning outfit, Sue, y Martha said. You make me feel like going straight home and dropping this thing I'm wearing right into the ash can." In her tone, there was no indication that she remembered the painful scene between them, there in the old apartment.
 But Suzanne was remembering Her eyes were still guarded, and she watched Martha narrowly as she said, T played bridge with Madge Willis. She told me about the country club dance" Martha stiffened. Tt was love- ly. Why didn't you come?"
 Because Paul didn't ask me-" Suzanne said bluntly. "He had other fish to fry. Look here, you weren't fooling Madge any, or Mary Grace, either. They know what's been going on. After you told me you wouldn't see Paul any more! You were SO naive, so in- nocently surprised when I put it up to you Oh, you just couldn't believe Paul was in love with you, and you never encouraged him! But you're still running around with him!"
 In sick dismay, Martha realized that the same, uncomfortable ex- citement was shaking Suzanne again. People were looking back, in the winter twilight.
 Suzanne rushed on,' There's one thing you forgot! said someone might tell Bill. Suppose drive up to camp myself - you took Paul with you, I notice, when you went"
 The sidewalk under Martha $ feet seemed suddenly less solid than before. Her heart missed a beat. It flashed through her mind that she had lied to Bill about the very country club dance which most infuriated Suzanne.
 Suzanne, you wouldn't do g cheap trick like that! You can't do it! To go out of your way tc repeat false gossip - to upset Bill for no reason"
 For a very good reason" said Suzanne, coldly. She turned sud- denly. Think it over, Martha I mean it." Then she was walking rapidly away her slim back very straight.
 | In her room at Mrs. Larkin's $ |, Martha threw herself on the bed and wondered bitterly how . she could stop Suzanne from going to camp and pouring garbled gos- sip into Bills ears. It would be such a sickening blow to Bill! He had never dreamed there was anything between his wife and his best friend.
 And there wasn't, Martha thought tossing restlessy. There wasn't g thing-except that Paul did love her. But his love was his own bus

CHAPTER XIV

Thinking over that vaguely un- satisfactory visit, Martha Marshal decided that from now on she would take the train to camp. She would engage a room in the little hotel in town every weekend and spend Saturday nights and Sundays with Bill. That would cost a great deal Wrinkling her brow over the prob- lens, she came to the conclusion that the only way to swing it was to give up the apartment.
 T don't need whole three room apartment to myself any way. It's just lot of cleaning light bills, phone bills, and grief. She would find a room, live the way she had lived before she married Bill. The only problem was Butch. She hated the thought of boarding him out in the coun- try, yet that was the only solution.
 The night she drove him out to the farm, she felt like a traitor. Butch regarded her with soft, mournful eyes. For all her ad- monishing to be a good dog, Butch howled dismally when the man put him in the back yard runaway. He thrust his nose through the wire fencing and con- tinued to vail as Martha walked to the car.
 The family's breaking up" she 1nurmured sadly. First Bill, now Butch"
 { Packing the furniture for storage was Q wrench, too. A burly packer arrived, and he stuck things expert ly into barrels; put the mattress in- to an enormous carton: Sheeted the sofa and chairs. He had no pa- tience for the way she dawled over the little things. The clock from Bills jewelry store; the pictures he had selected; the lamp that had been wedding present. Once she retired into closet to cry. The man grunted. "Women"
 The room she found, at the other end of town, was close to Air Transport. The landlady was 8 comfortably stout matron who assured her there was "continu- ous hot water and a refined att i mosphere." But she was puzzled by the fact that Mrs. Marshall wore a wedding ring and had no husband.
 ! Hes in the Army said Mar l tha.
 Oh"
 1 Martha told Paul in the office, s"The refined atmosphere appears to mean positively no visitors, ex- cept In the downstairs parlor. The parlor was a complete gallery of Mrs. Larkin's entire family, in- cluding her deceased husband. He had handlebar mustaches."
 Cheerful" said Paul. What ever gave you this crazy notion?" ] Train fare. to camp, and hotel tariff for week -ends,' she an- swered. On what Air Transport pays me. 1t takes close figuring" ]" T see"
 She had been living in Mrs. Lar kin's house nearly week, and had finally mastered the trick. of sleep ing between the Jumps in the an- cient bed, the day she met Suzanne Decker as she walked home.
 Suzanne was exquisite, as al- ways. She wore violet velvet tlrban, and a slim coat with a faint violet cast. There was a lovely cascading collar of blue fox, into which her chin was buried against the wind.
 Going to pass me by?" Martha greeted her. Its been months since I've seen you!"

McHugh is cast as Doc" Ryan, Powells friend and confident and the only one to know about his sudden return from amnesia. Lowe is seen as the crook, Duke Sheldon, who almost succeeds in giving the hero away.
