"So Brooke come around to talk It over wiih you, eh?" Bill sneered. "Told you It was all on the square, did he? Kxplutned It all very plausibly, I suppose.

Ho fol lowed her Into the living room when tho uncomfortable meal uncomfortable by reason of the surcharged atmosphere was at an end. "Let's get down to bed rock. Hazel," he suld gently. "Doesn't It seem rather foolish to let a bundle of outside troubles set up so much friction between us two?

"I've heard nothing else all day but this miserable mining business and your rulllnuly method of settling a dispute. I d rather not talk about It." "But we must talk about It," he per sisted patiently. "You can't get to the bottom of anything without more or less talk." "Talk to yourself, then," she retorted uiigmclously. And with thut she ran out of the room. But she had forgotten or underesti mated the catlike quickness of her man.

She drunk her coffee and went buck to the bedroom before she opened the envelope. By the postmark she saw that it hud been mulled on a train. "Deur Girl: I have caught my breath, so to speak, but I doubt if ever a more forlorn cusa listened to the lutermlnuble clicking of car wheels. I am tempted at each station to turn buck and try aguln.

Nor that a succession of little things could cut so weighty a figure In our Uvea. And perhaps you ure very sore and resentful at me this morning for being so precipitate. "I couldn't belp It, Hazel.
