But Tom had had all he could stomach at one sitting. So he stood stiffly by until Mary Etta was free to leave and said nothing complimentary to anybody. "Did you ever see anything like the way Harvey manages that three ring circus?" murmured Mary Etta on the way to the car, Tom grunted. "Sulking again?" she Inquired crisply, turning the key In the ignition with a snap. "If you must know," said Tom, "I'm fed up to the gills with Harvey Leigh and everything about him. Do you realize we have him for breakfast, dinner and a bedtime story?" "You just can't bear success in somebody else. Can you?"

Sewing 117 Minna, that" "Where are we drifting, Mary Etta?" asked Tom In a stifled voice. "I wouldn't know." Her flippancy flecked him on the raw. He stared unseeingly straight before him and thought of their brief tempestuous courtship. They hadn't known each other very well. Tom was barely twenty-onMary Etta a few months younger. He hadn't Intended to think of marriage for years. But somehow after he met Mary Etta he could think of nothing else. He had not been sure she liked him at alL Being Mary Etta she had been more antagonistic than encouraging. The day Tom asked her out of a sudden mad impulse to elope with him over the week-enhe had half expected her to bounce an ink bottle off his head. Not until they came out of the County the license firmly Courthouse, clutched in his perspiring hand, had he believed in her surrender. But then Mary Etta never had ex actly surrendered. On their brief honeymoon before each of them returned to their respective desks, she had never even in his arms quite let herself go. She did love. Or rather she had. He was convinced of that. Or she would never have married him. Mary Etta had played fair. She did not believe in maudlin sentiment. But she asked no more than she was willing to give. She proved a curiously exciting wife. Tom admitted that. There had been moments when he could have wrung her neck. Interspersed with the delirium of loving her so wildly it frightened him. But he was never indifferent to her. 'I had another letter from old Colonel Shoup today," he said later while Mary Etta was cold creaming her face. He dies hard, doesn't he?" she observed. "I should think he'd tire of wasting postage." Listen, Mary Etta," said Tom thickly, "I know you hate small towns. But we can't go on like this. I grant you Colonel Shoup's proposition sounds like piffle on the surface. Fifty dollars a month and commissions, if any. But he's got the best real estate business in Covington. And he's offering to let me buy into partnership on the in stallment plan. It's exactly what I've always wanted. And" his voice quivered "a couple can live on fifty dollars a month in Covington. I know a four-roohouse not far from Mother's that can be rented for twenty, and whole families nowadays eat on a dollar a day." "You mean if the wife does all the cooking and the washing and the ironing," said Mary Etta scornfully. "Are you seriously proposing that I give up my hundred and sevena month and move to a ty-five town I hate where I'll have to work like a slave, just so you'll have the pleasure of saying you pay all our expenses?" "Yes," said Tom, his mouth a hard ugly gash. "To save your face," went on Mary Etta, "I'm to let go of everything I've won from life and turn into the kind of female drudge my mother was. Bending over a hot cook stove. Squeezing pennies. SavWearing house ing on haircuts. aprons. Cutting up Sunday's roast tor Thursday's hash. Boiling cabbage till I want to scream. We couldn't even keep a car." "No," said Tom, "we couldn't But we might afford a baby some facturing plant to stop losses, and whose marriage is delayed; Kathleen, whom astranger, Ritchie Graham, also a news"You Tom. me." laugh that off," snapped "It doesn't seem funny to reached up to the shelf over the bed alcove and dragged down a bat tered suitcase. "What are you going to do?" de manded Mary Etta. "What do you think?" he retorted, opening that drawer in the dresser which was dedicated to his use. Mary Etta stood very still for a minute. "Calling it a day and quits?" she asked at last Tom was stuffing shirts into the suitcase. "I'm a failure. As a pro vider and as a husband. But I'm not going to be kept by a woman, even my wife." Mary Etta caught her breath. "I warned you when I married you that I'd not let any man swallow my personality." "I know. And probably you're right But I happen to have a per sonality too. As well as a little pride of my own. You might possi bly pay my bills and retain some shreds of respect for me.

"What are yon going to do?" demanded Mary Etta. you won't be long about that after I'm gone. Good-by- , Mary Etta." She turned quickly away without speaking. Tom stared at her for a moment And then very gently he opened and closed the door behind him. It was exactly as if he had slammed the lid of a coffin on a fragment of his heart CHAPTER Xin Kathleen Maguire was late getting down to the office the following morning. Of course it did not make a lot of difference when Kathleen reached her desk. Officially she was the Clarion's society editor. But she suspected that Mike would not blink an eye if she failed to show up at all. For years he had been everv- thing from janitor to political economist on the paper if the emergency arose. And he was still capable of writing every word in any edition without missing a stride. Nevertheless Kathleen took her job as seriously as he allowed her to. In many ways the staff, due to Mike's penchant for broken-dowhumanity, was as decrepit as the purely mechanical end of the business. Mike had an unique manner of selecting employees. He was always hiring some derelict because he was down on his luck. At present there were old Miller, ail excellent typesetter when he was sober, Roger Whyte who could write like an angel if he wasn't hrving nervous shakes, and Tommy South, office boy, an orphan Mike had plucked off by the scruff of his neck out of the Court for Juvenile Delinquents. The moment she entered the big cluttered room which was the Clarion's main office, Kathleen knew there was tension in the air. Roger Whyte's frail hands trembled on his typewriter keys. Tommy South's freckles stood out more prominently on a pale and perspiring counteOld Ducky Miller had nance. dropped a tray of type and just stood staring at the jumbled pi.

Tom and Mary Etta had Just been guests at a Tavern party of Mary Etta's employer, Harvey Cobb Leigh. hung her white linen hat on its accustomed nail and marched over to the littered table consecrated to her use. The last issue of the Clarion lay there neatly arranged by Tommy for her consideration. Kathleen did not need to turn to the editorial page to know what was afoot Nevertheless, her brown eyes smoldering, she read every word. Mike had done it again. The very paper crackled with the remarks he had to make about unscrupulous financiers In general and Banker Eugene Mays of Covington's leading bank in particular. Kathleen had to admit that her father, when he decided to set off fireworks, did a thoroughly good job. No wonder Eugene Mays had paid the Clarion's editor an early morning call Kathleen shivered a little. The banker was a very imposing figure in local concerns. Naturally he resented having sarcasm of the most virulent nature directed at his policies. In the private office somebody guffawed. It was Mike of course, laughing In his caller's infuriated face. A faint grin traveled over the harassed faces of the group outside. It was so exactly like Mike to treat Mr. Eugene Mays' Important anger to a cold douche of derision. But Kathleen did not grin. It might be very audacious and gallant of her father to tweak the lion's tall and then snigger about it His daughter, however, was thinking of the number of people In Covington who owed Eugene Mays money and who jumped through hoops at his signal. The door of the inner office came open with a sharp crack, and everybody in the main office became suddenly tremendously occupied with his own tasks. Mr. Mays, however, did not condescend a glance to his audience. He stood on the threshold, facing the other way and brandished a fleshy fist In the general direction of Michael Maguire's gamin-esqu- e grin. "Keep on printing these infamous attacks on me and my institution, Maguire," he said, "and by God, I'll break you." Mike grinned. "I've been broke before, Mays. By better men than you. But I've never yet been scared out of telling the truth if it needed to be told." Kathleen was aware that Ritchie Graham had come in by the street door and was listening to the encounter with every manifestation of pleasure. Of course it gave him a thrill to see Mike risk financial annihilation for a principle. But Kathleen thought of Laura who was already stretching dollars till they groaned, and Kathleen did not feel thrilled as she would have a year ago at her father's debonair disregard of consequences, he felt a little sick. "If it's war you want," said Eugene Mays in a suddenly colder and more ominous voice, "say so. But you had better take Into consideration the fact that I have influence in this town. I can cut your advertising accounts to a quarter of what they are. Likewise your circulation. Maybe you don't realize that." "That's your ultimatum. Now suppose you listen to mine," Mike said with a thrust like the glitter of a rapier. "You have ten thousand depositors in your bank. And a couple of hundred stockholders who leave everything to you. You are the bank. And it's a hell of a responsibility. Because this whole community would be sunk If you got your tail in a crack. Now as bankers go, you're not so rank. But you could be sweeter. That western deal you are dickering with smells to heaven. So do one or two other Juicy pies you've tried to stick your The people finger into recently. ought to know that sort of thing is dangerous to their interests. And they're going to know every time you try to puu a fast one. My advice to you, Mays, is to pull in your horns and leave high financing to the rest of the pirates. But if vnn rirm-- . then you'll have to put up with what ever I care to say about you and your wildcat business ventures. And believe me, I'll say plenty!" Unfortunately the peroration rf Mike's philippic was somewhat spoiled by the failure of Banker Mays to remain for its grandiloquent conclusion. Ritchie's gray eyes SDarklcrl in his sunburned face.

"Mil. missed a bull's-eyIn his life if h had something to shoot at that was practically certain to explode and gum up the works." Mike cocked a quizzical at his daughter.

And." she gave her father a hostile glance, "you'd think it was a circus and laugh. Hut then I've begun to wonder if you'll ever be quite adult. Or maybe I've got growing pains.
