The nice blue water didn't stay so

Those who started out early in the
morning when the weather was quite
cool and who had no fear of sun-
burn, changed their minds more or
less abruptly after the noon hour.
when exposed arms and legs began
to the! uncomfortably warm and a
suspicious tingling of the l‘leahE

The boat. which boasted the pea:

island while the members of the
party cooked their lunch a la primi-

time to shove on. some little difllcui-

And then he was suddenly remind.

ing him. But. he shook his head at
the thought of it. although a sudden
panicky feeling bad gripped his
heart. Surely. she couldn't. mean it.

have been perfectly normal. he
thought. even where the other per-
son was a “than. Rather. he had
felt a little pity for Fay. and it had
served her right. to walk out on her
as he had done.
A street car canto rumbling by
and on a sudden impulse he boarded
it and rode all the way down town.
where he walked the streets aimless-
ly for a couple of hours. mumbling
to himself like an old man. He felt
an uncomfortable sensation in his
stomach and glanced at his watch.

"Just wasn't as hungry as I

He found himself repeating that
over and over again. and self-pity
now was nearly overwhelming him.
To speak of himself in the third per-
son like that made the thing he was
repeating sound like an epitaph, and
he found himself visualizing a gray
slab over his grave. with a tearful
Fay kneeling at the foot of it with
upturned eyes asking for ills forgive-

"Hell!" He dashed his hand
against his eyes and was angry with
himself when it found moisture
there. Ra looked again at. his watch.

Fay would be waiting up for him
and whether there would be recon-
cliiation. or Just a renewal of their
quarrel. Sh. certainly couldn't be
serious about leaving him. The thing
was so impossible. It happened in
books. and it happened sometimes to
other men. but it couldn't happen to
him. Why. what would become of
Judith? No. she had merely been
threatening.
“I suppose." he said. "I ought to
be more careful and a little more
considerate of her. This Nell Onne

It's not getting me anywhere. Have

He wondered how Fay would take

with Not Graham. Fay didn't like
him: maybe she'd see that with area-
haln out of their lives they could
start all over again without any

When conditions at the odlco were
MEEBM _
tions equally as bed. A man ought
to be purfectly happy in his work if
he wanted to be happy in his home
life. That was it. by golly! How
could Fay expect him to be a hun-
dred per cent when things down at
the office lately were so disagreeable?
The little house. when he went up
the front walk. was bathed in due.
tere moonlight. and something about
its appearance-Aha cold. silvery
sheen of its white paint—chilled him.
A light was burning in the front
bedroom—hie and Fay‘s room. He
could see a shadowy figure moving
slowly about. Hesitantly he
opened the front door and went in.
O I I
Fay had time to regret striking
John. but there burned within her a.
resoluteness of purpose and a forti-
tude that had dwelt in the hardy
breasts of her Puritan ancestors.
She had declared herself. and she
was going to go through with it.
She cried a little with remorse for
having slapped him. and she cried a
good deal more when she had put
Judith to sleep and then gone up-
stairs and started packing her
trunk. . . . There in the bottom of
the trunk was her wedding dress.
and the beautiful white satin petti-
coat and underthlngs that had been
worn only once. And here in a tray
was their marriage certificate.
Everywhere. it seemed. were re-
minders that she and John belonged
to each other and she was leaving
him. The thought was almost more
than she could bear. but she con-
tinued with her task. although her
eyes were streaming tears.
She did not hear the front door
open downstairs. but. she heard
John‘s fcotfalls ascending the stairs.
and suddenly he was framed in the
doorway.
"Fay," he said gently. and she
looked up. stealing her heart against
the softness that seemed to be dood-
ing her. This big boy . _.d a
"Yes?" she said coldly. '
"What are you doing?"
"What do you suppose? I'm pack-
ing." She got up from her position
in front of the trunk‘ahd moved over
to the vanity drefir. where she
started exploring the drawers and
piling their contents all the floor.
"You—you're not serious. Fay?”
She made no answer. and John
said, "You don't. mean you're really
going through with it—that you're
actually leaving? Fay. be serious.
It‘s too-too dreadful. this thing
you're contemplating."
The chilliness of frost was in her
voice as she answered. although her
words were false to her true fool-
inga. "Yes. I'm going through with
it. I gave you warning once. but
you paid no attention..l‘m leaving
now—leaving you to your good times
and your pettiooats."
I-Ie winced. "Fay. don't say that!"
"Very well. I won't say anything.
Just don't interfere."
“But I will interfere. I've been a
-a good husband. even if you do
think horrible things of ins."
"I won't argue the point."
"But I want to argue it. Do you
think I've been unfaithful to you?"
She made no answer. but her
silence seemed to damn hint.
"Fay. I want you to answer me.
Do you really think I'm-I'm low.
or are you doing this for spite? I
want to know." He strode. in his
agitation. back and forth across the
room. He saw that ray. who was
standing with her back toward him.
still had no idea of answering hint.
so he went over to her and. placing
his hand on her shoulder. turned hea-
around.
“Do you hear me?" he asked.
Fay put her hands on her hips
and raised her head defiantly.
“You‘ve kicked me around long
enough. John. You've had your
chance. but you don't play fair."
"Do you do think—"
"And I'm going to get a divorce."
she interrupted.
The words came as something of a
shock- It was the first time that
anything had been said about di-
vorce. .
"Very well. then.” Bo folded his
anus and stood staring straight into
her eyes. "it would be better if we
were divorced. if you think 00!.
things of no. I'm through pleading
with you. Go right ahead.” And be
stamped defiantly out of the soon.
