tells her hells going to New
York to get a job. Ile needs
money. Gloria borrows $200 of
Dick's money from his secre-
tary, MISS BRIGGS. She tells
Miss Briggs she wants the men-
ey to improve the house and
yard.
Gloria and Waybum go driv-
ing and the car overturns. Way-
bum disappears and Gloria,
badly hurt. is taken to the hos-
pital. When she has been in
the hospital two weeks and is
tbettcr. Dick comes to see her.
He accuses her of having been
out Joy-riding with Waybum
and shows her the actor's cig-
aret case. found under the
I wrecked car.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
. ' LORIA took Wayburn's cigaret
case from Dick.
Wondering, she turned it
ever and over in her slim hands.
"Where in the world did you get
this thing?" she asked, puzzled. The
last time shehad seen it, it had
been lying in the wet yellow mud
beside the wreck of her car. And
she was quite sure that she hadn't
picked it up.
"The nurse in the office down-
stairs just gave it to me . . . along
with the jewelry you had on when
you came into the hospital," Dick
answered. His voice sounded tired
and flat. ,
He'took a. little handful of jewelry
from his pocket and tossed it down
i
on the bed. Gloria picked up her
rings and put them on. She slid her
wrist \'.':I'<'il under her pillow.
1"" n she looked up at Dick. There
was written in the lovely
depths of her eyes. .
"So you knew when you came into
this room that I'd been with Stan
the day of the wreck!" she said.
”And you set a trap for me!"
"Of course I knew. The minute
'1 saw his initials on the cigaret case
I knew." Dick answered grimly. "I
wish I had the fellow by the throat
this minute!" He made a twist-
ing movement with his hands.
"Dick, please don't get excited
over this! There's really very little
to it!" Gloria pleaded. f'I told Stan
Ithat day that I was never going
[to see him again. Truly I did . . .
Iand. anyway, he's going to New
,York soon. . .,."'
Dick stared out of the window at
lthe housetops across the street. He
ljerked his head toward them.
"I wonder if any of the men who
:live in these houses have wives like
you. Gloria," he‘ said. "I wonder
if their wives are the kind who re~
fuse to have children, who go teal-1'
ling around with otherlmen, who‘-
Enever stay at home .‘ . . who don't
.even know how to make a home.
i “Well, it's their own fault if they
have!” Gloria. cried shrilly. “It's
itheir own fault!"
Dick turned toward her.

{fault?" he asked sharply. "I sup-

white line around his lips. And
a fine sweat came out on his
forehead.
"No. you don't!" Gloria repeated
as if she were arguing with him.
"You think that because you've
given me a. roof over my head and
paid the bills you've done your hus-
bandly duty."
She paused for breath.
"Well. you've kept me pretty busy
paying your bills." Dick said. “Ab

Gloria flushed.
"You kick every time I ask you
to take me out to a dance or to a
picture show." she went on. “Your
idea of the end of a perfect day is
to go to sleep over the newspaper
every night! And I can just sit
there and twiddle my thumbs. I sup-
pose? . . . Well. I'm not going to!
Not if I see myself first!"
"If I go to sleep over the news-
paper it's because I'm dog-tired
after my day’s work," Dick an-
swered. "And if you did your house
work. as you should, instead of ly-
ing in bed till noon every day, you'd
be pretty tired yourself at night.

“Yes. I do." Dick answered truth-

EN days later. when Gloria left
the hospital. her own little blue
ear stood at the curb waiting
for her. It looked as good as new.
Gloria. shuddered when she saw it.
“I don't know whether I have
nerve enough to ride home in it or
not!" she said ahakily to Dick.
“Sure you have. Hop in," Dick
encouraged her. “Your nerves are
jumpy. You'll be all right pretty
soon. Doc Seymour wants me to go
away for a long rest. We'll go to-
gether. you and I. We both need
it."
He started the ear.
"Perhaps mother'll go along with
us," ‘Dick said. as the car rolled
"She looks pretty
“Just you dare to ask your moth-
er to go anywhere with us!" Gloria’s
“I'd rhther stay in
this town all my life than go any-
where with your mother!"
Dick tried to change the subject.
“We may not go anywhere our-
selves." he said. "We've spent so
much money on doctors and nurses
and hospitals this month that we
won't have much left‘to go guiding
around the country. I guess. Your
bill at the hospital was $225. I
Just paid it."
"Oh sure, tell me what my bill
was! Rub it in!" Gloria cried. “Why
don't you talk about the money
you paid Mrs. O'Hara and Doe Sey-
mour for your own sickness! I get
tired hearing about all my ex-
ponsesi"
' Again the sickening thought came
to her that Dick would soon ilnd out
about the 8200 she had borrowed
from him . . . through Miss Briggs.
“Hasn't the gardener started work
on the back yard?” she asked in
surprise as they drove into the ga-
"No. He came here with a. whole
raft of rose bushes that. you'd or-
dered," Dick answered. “But I sent
him away. We can't afford to fix
up the yard Just now." ‘
He helped her out of the little car.
it was sunset. The long shadows
of the new-leaved trees lay across
the grass. The lilies—of-ths-valley
were in bloom along‘the fence.
A delicious odor of broiiing steak
came from the open door of the
kitchen where Rsnghild was getting
supper. ’
"Home’s pretty nice. isn't it?”
Dick asked. "It's a. pretty good place
to be after all. Isn‘t it. Littlest?"
Gloria raised her eyebrows.
"I guess so." she said shortly.

ANGHILD opened the door for
them. There was a broad
smile on her fresh-checked
face.
Everything was quite as usual.‘
After dinner Dick picked up the
paper and sat down in his armchair
to read. In a. few minutes he was
sound asleep.
The clock in the hall ticked off
the leaden minutes.
Eight o'clock! . . . The end of the
day for the Gregory's.

of all the 24 hours!
For some people 8 o'clock meant

with rushing taxicab and cheerful
