Mary Slade sat down to the breakfast. table with a certain sense of beIt was the same this wilderment, morning as it had been each successive morning since Dans departure. She could not bring herself to the realization of ;the fact that Dan had not come home apparently did not intend to come home. She had waited up the night he had gone to the club. Just as she had waited up every night of their married life, no matter where her husband waa or how late he might be coming home. As the night hours lengthened Into day she was forced to the conclusion that Dan meaht to stay away for the night That he wouldnt be boms at all through the day never to her. She reasoned thyf a nights sleep would clear his mind and that he would have recovered from hts tantrum the nest day. But Dan didnt run In that day nor the next The days had become weeks, yet neither by telephone nor letter had he sent as much as a word. Finally Mary had mustered up hsr oourage and telephoned his club. It took courage for Mary to use- the telephone on any occasion. She waa afraid of the sound of her own voice the moment she began to talk into the transmitter. This time she feared Dana displeasure andhis possible harshness. Mr. Slade was out, had left no message, they did not know when he would return, was the disappointing result as she hung the receiver on the hook. This morning,' as the maid served her breakfast, she resolved to try' again. The situation was getting unbearable. It was bad enough to live In the great house and be surrounded by servants with Dan there. Without him she felt like a prisoner of state and looked on the servants, aa so many jailers. Leaving her", breakfast practically untasted, Mary again ventured to the With faltering voice she telephone repeated the number. with beating heart she inquired for Mr. Slade; with sinking courage she received the answer that Mr. Slade had gone out' leaving no message. Again and again during the day she repeated The call, only to receive a similar reply. The possibility of her husband baring left such a message to be delivered to her, whether he was thera ornot never occurred to the little woman. truthful, simple-minde- d But Slade did not want to be reached by her, and if an untruth, more or less, were necessary, the telephone boy was easily bribed.
