Eoklng into the fragrant darkness yond. "When you say that do you mean “ne. too?" Gloria asked. There was 3) agony of entreaty in her voice. 0 you mean that you don't care libout me, any more?" Dick turned slowly toward her. without answering. The movement brought him face to face with her. She looked at him narrowly. It first only with curiosity; then with I kind of terror. . . . His eyes were cold and without light. Gloria felt as if some curtain had dropped between them . . . a cur thin that she could not pierce. She stepped back and put up her , hand in a little defensive movement. “You don't love me any more!" . , She answered her own question. And then she burst into hysterical tears. Through her eyelashes. gathered into little wet points, she could see Dick looking at her ourl ouely. as if he had never seen her before. She watched him drop into his chair and pick up I book. lie set it up between them. like I barrier. and began to reed. . . . The clock in the hall struck eleven . . . and. as if the sound of it freed some blocked movement in Gloria‘s brain. she pulled herself to- gether and went upstairs. As she went she heard Dick strike I match. for his cold pips. He was calmly settling down to I quiet eve ning. . . . No doubt he was glad she was gone! 66 fiercely to herself the next morning when she awoke. She had set her alarm clock for seveni _ "i will get back into Dick's iifel i belong there. He can’t put me out of it!" She bathed. and dressed herself in one of the bungalow aprons that Ranghild had worn for her morning work. Then she tiptoed downstairs and brought in the milk and the pa- per from the back porch. She lighted the gas stove and took the coffee tin from the kitchen cup WILL. get back!" Gloria said elf because » ..........,......~. .. .. man." he said deliberately. that. Dick knew how to make coffee. She would run upstairs and ask him how it was done. She knocked on his door. "Dick . . . i've brought you the morning paper." she called. brightly. in I moment Dick opened ‘Lhe door. "Thanks." His eyes took her in —the bungalow apron. the rolled up sleeves. end the coffee tin in be: hand “What do you think you’re damn?" he asked. An amused smile flicker ered over his face. .“Meking coffee for my husband.“ Gloria answered portly. "Only 1 don't know how to make it. Aside from that l’m getting along fine!" Dick‘s smile broadened into a grin "l suppose ybu're after my recipe." he said. “i use a tablespoon of cut fee for each cup, and an extra one for the pot." LORiA'S spirits lifted at his G good humor. And soinetbins in her breast that had been like a lump of ice. seemed to melt. She put up her lips for him to kiss. "You aren't peeved at your Glory. are you?" she asked. She laid her hand on his check. and came a step nearer. ’ Then, with I little sigh. she put her head down on his shoulder. it was good to be there with Dick. friends once more. Like the solu- tion of I problem. "We've quarreled long enough a . you end 1. Kiss me!" she said. But n she spoke. she knew she was making I mistake. She could feel Dick drew away from her. Her hands dropped at her sides. and she went dotvnstalrs without another word. ‘ She made the coffee. according to Dick's campfire recipe. end put it on the stove to boil. When he came downstairs to breakfast, it was more than ready. "i'm sorry there isn't toast."

She tried to drink I cup of her coffee. But she had to admit to herself that it was too hltler to drink. She didn't dare to offer Dick 3 second cup of it. “Will you be home tonight for dinner?" she asked as in got up from the table. She hoped that he would at least offer to kiss her goodby. But he didn't. "Yes, i'll be home." he said, color- iossly. "i think ill take your car to day. You don't seem to drive it any more . . . do you mind if i do?" Gloria shook her head There was I lump in her throat. She watched Dick drive down the street. her vision blurred with tears. She wrocd them away. angrily. "What‘s the mailer with me?" she asked herself. "Am i failing in loveI with the poor simp?" O 0 I iii: thought of Miss Briggs down in Dick's office withhim all day was I torment to her. She stopped in the middle of her work I dozen times that morning to wish that Dick had a man secretary in- stead of Susun Briggs. "He's just got to fire her!" she kept telling herself. "1 Just won't have her down in that office with him. That's all there is to it!" Soothing and sympathetic, was she? Well. Gloria would show Dick that she. herself. could be soothing and sympathetic. if that was Miss Briggs' method of “vamping'f Dick. that would be Gloria's game. Two could play at any old game. . . . The sight of Dick's shabby old house-coat hanging in his closet was an inspiration to Gloria. She would buy him a new one. Goodness knew he needed it! And it wouldn’t be I dull gray one like this. . . . It would have some pep and dash about it. _. _.‘ a O 0 0 BEN Dick came home that odor of frying steak in the house. And Gloria. in I clean white dress. came out of the kitchen to meet him. "Dinner will be ready in two min- utes," ehe greeted him cheerfully. “And when you go upstairs to wash your hands. take I peek at the sur- prise I have for you up there.” On the bed in Dick's room was spread Gloria's "surprise" . . ,. I purple silk house-coat lined with eoerlet. “Holy suffering cats!" Dick said to himself. “Does she think I’d weer I thing like thatl" He w t down to dinner in his suit. Gloria's Ice fell when she saw him. “Aren't you going to put on your new housecoetf” she asked. Dick shook his heed. “You know i never wear bright colors like that. Gloria." he said. “although it is I doggoned nice coat. Thanks.” "What'll 1 do with it?" Gloria asked pathetically. She looked as it she were going to cry. “No it back?" “How much was it?" Dick’s voice had grown stern. "Not very much . . . only 850.“ Gloria replied. "It really was I bor- gain. it had been 375 3 ,4 ._ awfully good silk in it." Dick set down at the dining roses table. "Now look here. Gloria." he said. "I‘ve told you I dozen times that you're not to go downtown and run up bills Without ukinfme about it. first. .. . . And in spite of it. yo! charge I 850 house-cost to me in I store where l owe money as it is!" Gloria felt a frown growing be! tween her eyebrows. "Well. what do you want me to do . ., . take the thing back?" she asked. "i'm going to be terribly ashamed if i have to. let me tell you!" "I'll take it back," Dick answered. "Just do it up in I bundle. and i'll take it with me in the car tomorrow morning. . . . i hate to seem un- grateful. Glory. but I 55" present that isn’t paid for wouldn't give me any satisfaction, at all. N have the blues every time i put it on." Gloria shook her heed. "i can't understand you It all, Dick." she said. "Suppose you do owe a few bills? Everybody does. Nobody ever has every dollar paid right up on the first of the month." Dick was silent. He triads little dots on the tablecloth with the Lines of his fork. “l . . . i suppose you’ll have I lit if i mention the word 'clotnee’ to you." Gloria went on. after I min- ute. "but i haven't a single summer dress. You know you promised me i could have some. before you went away on your trip. Remember?" "Yes." Dick answered quietly. “lint don't you think It's more im- portant for us to gel some of our old hills paid off, first?" "No!" Gloria cried. angrily. "i'm just about It the point where I could go to jail for debt. cheerfully. like Mr. illicuwhcr.‘ That is. if I could have I few clothes. . . . l'm in rage!" Dick's lip curled. "Pretty costly rage. i'll say." he remarked. "You bought three $l00 dresses just I few weeks ago. ['1] bet my mother never find one dress in fill her life that cost that much And Dad could buy and sell me a dozen times over. . ." "it's Just torrilvle that you have to support a wife. isn't it?" Gloria asked with fine sarcasm. "i feel sor- ry for you!" "You shouldz" Dick answered. “All I hope is that you‘ll feel so sorry for me that you won't buy any more 850 hats for I while!" Gloria moved irrilnhly under his angry gaze. “You think of every penny . . ." she said. "i've got to think of every penny!" Dick answered. "And you must. too. for I while. until I get on my feet again. , That sickness of mine knocked everything in the head. . . There's Just one wsy of looking It this thing. Our marriage has be- come nothing but I business partner ship—end a one-sided one, It that." “0b. is that sol" Gloria cried. “So that's the way you've come to feel about it. . . .
