thought, "hut it'll be. better it lie iWrn't j
succeed."
Joycc found it harder to get a j?o ]
than she had supi?osed. Alter inst; :lin.T
herself in a cheap rbomuigchnu.tu
under the name c?f "l'lorencc |lilt<>n"
(to make it easier perhaps for Neil t.)i
get his divorce) she set out to find em- 1
ployment.
She to >k to reading the Want-Ad ;

up 110 interest in the kiud nf work the?
offered. Slu ftnin.I that the luxury oi

to face hard work and unc nnl rta'di:
living conditions. Her rc> >m filled he;"
with horror; site was acutely unhapjiy
every moment she had t< spend in il.
She hegan to wonder what she wotiK ]
do when all lur money was spent.
Somewhat sa:!lv, she let her mind
open itsilf t- thoughts ut" Kobwt
Ainsworth. She hat' tried to hani^h
hint !-?t f til it-it finite : persistent- !
ly the th: u;ht of him w ntl ! thrust
itself up, only to be persistently ig
nored. She hail but one conclusion |
to reach, and that was that he had
failed her, that lie had shown him
self lacking in chivalry r.nd courage, J
that perhaps . . . he . . . did
not . . . love . . . Iter.
To Joyce this was t >0 hitter for ]
tears, too hitter for complaint. SI11
cottld not lu.ld her head up under
the shame of It.
When the hundred dollars was so
nearly gone that Joyce was seized
with a feeling of sudden panic, she
shook off her lethargic mood and,
strikineifut wildly for employment
seized upon a position as file clcr!;
in a large paper concern. The work
could not have bceii less interesting
or less profitable, but in her disor*
Kaniml state its very tli: JJness was
beneficial to her. She kept to her
self, finding that the other m'rls
vvc i e suspicions of her Guer clothes.
It amused her to wonder what they
\v?m Id think if they knew how she
really got them !
One day, less than a week after
?;he had begun her job, Joyce was
IvMvinu the ? irtiee a I five-thirty in
company with \\\% of the other girls,
She had tried to banish
an awful lot. No one knew anything
about you, but I guess a lot of gos
sip went the rounds. Then just two
days ago Roxie told me bow she'd
heard Miss AbboU telling Mr. Neil
that she had seen you in San Fran
cisco the day before, that she'd told
you about Mr. Neil's mother dying,
but that you'd said you were sorry
but you couldn't come back to him."
"Oh, Sam! did he believe her? You
don't suppose he really believed

i, vyiioine, buf.M into tears and be
[ tiutt Mtim.- uncontrollably.
"'I'll) re, thuijc." Sa::i was saying.
"i"VV4i!| right. gee, I'm Uad I found
yonl . . . au.l then in a minute,
when Joyce was Calmer, "Shall I
make .->trai.ul?t f-tf Mau/unita, or do
\t u want to ^et your bags first?"
"Oh. Sani^l mustn't goto Man
zaiuta! V ,>u took r.ic so minh by

the car, but I'm njt goinn to be
weak -minded as you think! If you
'(??n't mind driving me around for a
lit t to. until 1 pet control . . she
sobbed afresh. * r
"What do . you mean, weak
min let!? Excuse nie, Mrs. Packard,
but I think there's a tall lot of ex
plaining to be :loiie somewhere!''
Sam suddenly reddened, and
looked at her with a mixture of
apprehension ami determination.
"Maybe it's none of my business,
and ;? 1 1 that, but ? gee, 1 like you and
M r. / Packard both too much "
I lie slopped confusedly, ? and then
shot at her a perplexing question,
"\\ liy didn t you want to corne home
when Miss Abbott told you Mr.
Packard's mother liad died?"
Joyce stared at him in such hon
est bewilderment that he was im
pressed, "\\ by. what on earth arc
yju saying, Sam? What do you
mean? Has Mrs. Packard d:ed since
?since I left? Oi course 1 didn't
know! I haven't seen a soul from
Manzanita! Tell mo ? please!" Neil's
mother ? she knew how fond he was
of her ? how he w- uld grieve! Oi
course she must go to him at once.
"Gee, that's funny," Sam an
swered, "Miss Abbott said ? w?ll,
you see, it was this way," he paused
to collect his thoughts, "guess I'd
better go back and tell you all that's
happene.'. sinc< ?? >n left. When Mr.
Xeil came the next morning and got
your jtote he was about sick. He was
sick anyway, I <oke;I terrible, never
saw him take on so ' . Sam
stepped on the gas, a prim expres
sion around hi* usually pleasant
mouth. "He sent ."or me right away,
and I don't mint' telling you that I
told him all I Vnew. He brightened
a bit when he heard I'd taken you
t > the Y. W. C. A. in the city, and
we both went there right away, and
missed you !-y just twenty minutes,
the clerk said. We hung around all
day. h - big you might come back
for S(.i hing vou'rf left. Then wo
came home. Mr. Neil was ne?ii'
crazy, what with worrying about
you and worrying about bis mother,
who really was sicker than he'd let
you know. . .
"Oh, Sam!" Joyce's misery shot
her words through with pain.
"Well, anyway, Mrs. Packard
died four days afterward. Everyone
felt terrihle sorry for Mr. Neil. That

; tut Roxie didn't. She said to mo.
'Sam,' she said, 'I don t trust that

\ r.rds from Mrs. Packard hcr-clf
Ivfore I'd believe them, her having
changed and go s<? nice lately, and

"Go on, Sam," said Joyce. "Tt's :.1!
r'-jht."
"\\\ II, so Roxie she snid'o m?*
('tat I was to JfO to Si U'?* x.?
.? (I not c >:nc hack ut. i found
you! So 1 came, and ijone ii I
i'Jn't lin'l you the second day!"
"So Roxie believed ? in me!"
thought Joyce, deeply touched. And
aloud she said, 'i'.less her! I always >'
kit Roxie could he depended on!"
Suddenly she realized that they
were more than half way to Man
. anitu.
Half way home!
A sob caught in her throat.
The house seemed deserted when
they arrived, anil Joyce, who had
been nerving herself for t reception
!>y "the gang," felt trenu nd ?us!y
relieved. She wanted a little [ime
before seeing any one, even the
uilhful Roxie for whom her heart
was full of gratitude. She flipped
? juietly np to her bedroom, and
stretched out on the bed, in tense
silence.
What next? What next? She had
never felt less mistress of the sit->'
nation since she had found herself
I'rills Packard.
Gradually, as night drew on, she
heard sounds downstairs, and, along
ivith pangs of hunger, she relaxed
somewhat and began to consider
facing Neil Packard. Sh; took a
hasty bath, and dressed herself in
one of the pretty frocks Aat still
hung in her closet. It shocked her
to notice how worn and haggard she
looked; the life she had led in San
1'rancisco had left its mark.
Sam was standing by the door as
Joyce came down the wide stairs;
lie smiled at her with a return of
the old friendliness, and then slipped
out.
She was left facing her husband.
Aii thought of how she should
meet this situation vanished when
she saw Neil. Such an intensity of
unhappiness brooded over his face
that Joyce was instantly stabbed,
and without a moment's hesitation
she ran toward him. Here was some
one of whom she was genuinely
fond, in the greatest trouble ? n
thought but to comfort him! He di,
not once lose his self-control, bu
the tragic look in his eyes lightens'
when he saw her, and his whoh
tense expression softened.
''It was a lie, Neil!" she said. "I?
was a !??; that I knew! Of course !
didn't! Oh my dear, my dear, f. r
give me. I'm so terribly iorry. !
loved your mother too. No onv
could have helped loving her."
"I guess I was the dud," he said
gruffly, "to have believed Jove.
A Shot t. Gee, I didn't know women
d'<1 that sort of thing to each other'
"Not all women!" said Joy a
"Remember it was Roxie who didn'
be'ieve her, and sent Sam to fmr
