CHAPTER XVI
Where is Mrs. Converse?' he
arked.
"She’s in her room, sir,” the maid
answered to Alan’s injuiry about
Natalie.
> Thank you.” Alan said, and hur
ried away.
Natalie’s failure to come down to
breakfast was too unusual to be ig
nored, he felt. A few moments ago
he'd have been glad to go without
seeing her, but now that she iiad
given him the chance to do to. he
wanted an explanation.
He found her leaning over an
open suitcase on her bed, packing
things into it. And she was dress
ed for the street. She looked up
at him. as he hesitated in surprise,
and said. "Well?”
"What's up?” Alan asked bluntly.
-Can’t y)ou see?” Natalie cooly
returned.
“If I’m to believe what I see, it
looks as if you’re going somewhere’
Alan replied.
Natalie calmly continued her
packing. "Apparently there's no
reason for you to consult an ocu
list." she said.
Alan In turn grew sarcastic. "My
eyesight may be good," he retorted,
•but I've no supernatural powers.

Natalie had hoped she could |

His remark, which Natalie con

! feeling toward him which had been
j ! dying down since he came into the
room.
"I’m going because I’ve had en.

"You aren't the only one who’s
been humiliated.” AJsn shot back
at her. as the memory of hi* own
wrongs swept over him.
"Then if we make each other so
unhappy, why should we continue
i to live together?' Natalie demand
l eti. "I’m led up on it!”
She didn’t mean it so much as
Alan thought she did. He happened
to recall at that moment how many
times she had said she would leave
him. Maybe she was fed up,
Hp found it. all at once, less dif
ficult to believe. Hadn't he. himself,
thought at tih.es-—when he was
! cool, too—that they might be wast

■ An ecffb of his owu doubt return
ed to him now. It helped to over
come the shock he had experienced
upon coming face to face at last
with the oft-averted crisis the
parting of their ways.
And there was—although he was
hardly conscious of it—a thought
in the back of his mind that he
could find sympathy and under,
standing with PhiMipa. He did not
feel so utterly hopeless and de
serted as he would ;have felt had
this scene with Natalie taken place
24 hours earlier.
Natalie was disappointed in the
way he took It. She had not meant
to leave without seeing him. Had
he not come to her, she intended
to send Frances with word that she
wanted to see him in her room.
She expected him, in spitd of their
quarrel. to seek to keep her from
going. Not that her mind wasn’t
fuHy made up; she’d decided not
to change her plans, no matter what
he said.
A long-distance telephone call,
put through to her mother the night
before, had resulted in her sudden
decision to pay her parents a visit,

Pique and outraged pride had
caused her to use the old threat
when Alan came to her and “acted
like he thought I was bluffing." as i
she put It to herself.
Had Natalie admitted to herself
at that moment that she had been
bluffing, and hadn't let Alan's In
credulity drive her to see her bluff
through, she’d have realized that his
attitude was only a manifestation
of his own pride.
Natalie was one of those women
who think too’little of a man’s
pride, and too much of their own.
