And it would bare taken a man tar clererer than the badgered, heart-hnn- gry boy, to know that she was answering the first ';^rt of his speech—rather than the last! '‘Because," said Ellen, ‘Tm a fool! That's why!" Tony was laughing, and in his laughter was hurt pride and In jured dignity and a black and bine soul bruise. "Well," he said, "since you think you’re a fool, so soon, per haps I’d better go away from here. I don't’ doubt that as long as you don’t care a hang, Jane would be gUd to sw me. I’r.o 'always Ulked'tilings out with Jane. She—under«Unds me!’’ The old, old come-back. She understands me! Ellen, hearing It for the first time, flinched under It, eren though she had precipitated it. "If ho lored me," she said to berselt. "he. couldn’t go. It wouldn’t be possible for him to lease me. I was right—if he could go. tonight, to see another woman, why then— Poor little Ellen. She was right about herself! She was a fool. Being one. she said— ‘Tm sure Jane understands you. By all means go to see her.” Tony was reaching for his hat. many things wak^ this morning a woman, and nil of the fears that are woman's heritage lay on her heart.

I have no doubt that be understands you as well as Jane understands me." Bllen was blinking to keep back the tears. "Dick always leaves his re ceiver off, in the evening,” she said. “He likes to work at night —he doesn't like interruptions. I couldn’t reach him by phone,” she finished, ’"niat ought to be a comfort to you!" ‘‘So it is,” said Tony. He had his hat in his hand. He was fuss ing with the brim of it. Ellen was speaking. Out of turn again, but she couldn’t help it. Mother or no, she couldn’t help it. •'Ton.v.'’ she said, ‘‘believe this. You mustn’t think that I phone to men—that I have them come up here, alone, with me at night. Dick stayed just once, after a little party. He stayed to talk about work. Then ho asked me to marry him—that was the time. But 1 sent him right home. 1—I’ve never had ‘ any of these sessions. Tony, like I last night, and thi.s evening. E.x- I cept witii you.

But I up over her white little face a I heavy flush came creeping. Tony, fascinated, watched that flush. He saw it cover her chin, ) redden her very ear lobes, i "Keep yourself,” he echoed rather stupidly, "keep yourself— for what, Ellen?’’ Ellen’s whole heart was reach ing out, her hands were reach ing out. She couldn’t help it. This was love. This desire to give and give and give . . . “To keep myself for my hus band. Tony,’’ she answered. The boy was laying down his hat. He wasn’t blinking, any more, but he moistened his lips with his tongue, a.s it they were ‘‘You don’t wnni me to lenve, do you?" 'he enid. and he was whispering, too. “You would feel badly if I went to Jane, now?” Bllen was retreating, some how, before his advance—for Tony was sdvanclng. But she had crossed, for the moment at least, her Rubicon. “Yes, 1 would mind," she said. “Just as much as you’d mind if you knew that I were going to stay here, with Dick!’’ She was 'oack against the wall, now. But her eyes were lost In Tony’s gaze. They were bluer than ever, Tony’s eyes. Perhaps because they were wet. “Darling,” said Tony huskily, “you do love me!" Ellen tried to deny it. To say tliat she didn’t love him. She tried to, but the words in her throat. With her eyes lost in his gaze, with the lovely color stain ing her childish throat, she nodded. Mutely, but vehemently. She was held tightly in Tony’s arms—so tightly that it hurt, that it left her breathless. Or I was it the pounding of her heart j that made breathing so diffi- I cult? j “Darling,” Tony was saying, i and his voice seemed to come from ever so far away, “I love you. 'You’re niy wife.” •Automatically Ellen felt of her wedding ring with the thumb of her left hand. “You’re my wife!” Tony was saying. But she couldn’t answer now, not the way the walls of the room were closing In, not the way the lights were dancing. And then the lights had ceased to dance. For Tony's hand, feel ing along the wall, had found the electric switch, and the world was all darkness — a sweet, warm, throbbing darkness. Sanily always comes with the morning. Oh, sometimes it would be better, fa.r better, if it didn’t! Life can’t just be left to slide along by daylight. Sanity brought Ellen back to earth with a thud. Her eyes were sober as she sur veyed Tony, across her little breakfast table. Tony wasn’t sober. Tony was n’t sane. His eyes had a deep warm glow that lay back of I them. No, Tony wasn’t sober, i that was why Ellen found it so I hard to say that she felt she must. I For Ellen, this morning, had DON’T NEGLECT TOUR KIDNETS! Merry Christmas To One and All!
