Thie table where he had made lit tle marks by knocking out his pipe, the writing desk, the magazines piled on one broad arm of his chair spokcj of him. Gidria shook herse’f, and went Upstairs. Her feet made no sound upon .the steps. She felt dreadfully alone; Ontthe threshol d of Dick's room she paused. His bed was still ju t as she had left it . . . made up with clean -linen and the best embroid ered pillow-cases. He had not slept at home then, at all! He must be living again with Mother and Fath er Gregory. Gloria. looked into the clothes eloset. Yes, his clothes were all gone. The top of his dresser was bare. The drawers were empty. The books had been taken from the lit tle bookcase that stood beside Dick’s bed . Rut on it stood a large framed photograph of Gloria herself in her wedding dress. So Dick had not cared trt take that along with him to his father’s house! “Well, who could blame him?” thought Gloria. “1 don’t sunnos- io has very many hanpy memorie of me, after all. . .

She wanted to be alone there, for a while . ’. . to think things out. She heard May laugh mirthlessly. “Spooky?” she repeated, “If you I think your house is spooky, you ought to spend l a night here in min-. I It’s fairly haunted. . . Goodby.” Gloria shuddered as she hung the 1 receiver up on its hook. She won ' dered how May stayed there in the house where Dr. John had killed himself! . . . * * * She r.;n downstairs to see if there were any cigarets in the silver box on Dick’s smoking stand. May loved a smoke, occasionally. . . . There were a half dozen cigarets in the box. Gloria stood looking at them, for a minute. Then she pick ed them up and threw them into the empty grate. No, she made up her mind, she would never smoke, again! She was through doing the things that Dick said no nice woman would do! I Even though he should never know iti. she would become the kind of wife me had always wanted her to be! Gloria stood at the window watch ing for May to drive up in her little crimson car. But she came in a taxicab. And the driver followed her up the front walk, carrying two large traveling i bags. The instant she set foot in the house, Gloria saw that there was some subtle change in her. She. was : not the crushed and tearful May of a week ago. ; The air of dash and impudence 11:nt had been her chief charm had i returned to her. She had reddened I her lips, and around the collar of ■ her soft black dress was a row of I little pearls. “Don’t look so surprised,” she I said to Gloria as she. sank into II Dick’s chair. “I told you ’way last | week that I was going to shake the 11 dust of Americus from my shoes, i didn’t I?” “Yes,” Gloria nodded, “but I had .no idea that you were going so Us® T.

Nothing but a lot of friends who’ve stopped speaking to me, and a story that I 11 never be able to live down. . .” “Where are you going?” Gloria . asked. May threw out her hands with a vague gesture. “N- w- York, Lon don . . . Paris . . . Bombay. Who J knows?” she asked. “Thank heaven, I have enough money to keep me going! Going, going . . . that’s the only way for me to keep from los ing my mind, I guess.” She stopped speaking, and stared out of the window, as if her eyes were filled with long distances al ready . . . “Why don’t you go with me, Glory?” she asked suddenly. “That’s what I came here to ask you. . . . You know, you’ll never go back to Dick now that you’ve actually, left! him. don’t you?” Gloria nodded, without a word. | “Well, then,” May went on, “tell i him you want some money and cornel along with me. I’m going to stay at! a hotel tonight, and take an early train in the morning. You could' get ready to go by then, couldn’t you?” Gloria looked at her thoughtful ly. The idea tempted her. What, was this dull town to her, now- that she had lost Dick? , . . “For two pins . . . for two-little | rusty, bent pins . . . I’d go with you. i May,” she said slowly. “But, some | how or other, I just can’t do it. As | long as Dick’s here . . , I’ve got to I stay I guess. . . .” “What I can’t understand,” Max answered, with a little frown on her face, “is how Dick ever happened to let you pick up and leave him.” Her eyes questioned Gloria. “Oh. I guess he just got tired of me,” Gloria said with a break in her voice. “He wanted a home-keen ing wife. And I wasn’t one, I bored him.” “Bored him? Never! . . . Not with that face of yours!” May exclaim ed. “Oh, blah! Men get tired of noth ing but a woman's looks,” Gloria told her. “You can get them with your beauty. But you’ve got to hold them with something else. . . i Brains, for one thing. And love and I care.” “Love and care! You talk about i them as if they were babies!” May laughed. “Well, and so they are! They’re only grown-up children,” Gloria went on, with that new wisdom of j hers. “When life bangs them on ; the head, they want someone to rub ■ the bump, and tell them not to | mind. . -. . And they want their food] right on the dot, poor things, just i as baby does!” She stopped and shook a solemn forefinger at May. “And you flip it from the Flan- _ - ’1 .
