She fixed her dark eves on his. and something in his earnest seriousness made her begin again. She rehearsed the whoV story: the man in the cab, her hatred, her insane desire to get awav from him.

"It must be some thing pretty awful," she said after a pause. "1 don't know what to do.." She pulled a. cushion from behind her shoulders wearily. "You'd better tell me." Still he walked up and down. "You've got to trust me." He had reached that far in his rea soning; that he could not 'tell her what he knew, and that she would have to do what he thought was best for her. She sighed. It had been such long hard dav, taxing mentally and physi cally. She could not rouse herself to greater effort. She dozed- slept a little and woke to find him standinn with all her luggage in the middle of the floor, a paint brush in his hand. She watched him take a knife and begin to whittle her bag, on which were the initials D. V. She spoke sharply. "What are you doing " He kept on working at it- "Better go back to sleep. Baby. You're going to need all the rest you can pet " "Rocky, what are you doing?'' "Wantonly ; wrecking your prpe'r ty." ' "I see that. But why?"

"What are you doing this for?" "Just precaution. I ought to de stroy it. but I'm not ingenious enough to think of a way at the moment.

Either she must trust him completely or and ho was being so nice, doing it all for he. She turned finally and went to look over Doris' things. She sat on th bed for a minute, htr elbows on knees, fists jabbed into her cheeks- What could this mean? There must have been something more in the papers. Rocky didn't want he to know.
