CHAPTER VI
"About me?" Martha echoed
In bewilderment. "But, Suzanne,
what in the world -how could
you and Paul quarrel about me?
I don't understand."
"Pont you?" Suzanne's eyes
were narrowed, her face was
pale under the rouge. "That's
just what I'd like to know. Don't
you really understand?"
Martha stirred uneasily. "No,
really."
The other girl touched her
hand. Her fingers were icy.
"Listen, Martha. Every time Paul
asked me for a date, It was to

Her voice trailed off. She tight
ened her hold on Martha's fing

passionately,. "There's no use
denying It. I'm In love with
Paul! I always have been! Even
' before he met you years ago. I
was so happy when you married
Bill, I wanted to get down on my
knees and pray!"

elety pages were busy with the
dinners, dances, and the sensa
tional New Year's eve party she
i gave.
, Because Paul had drifted away
from the country club set be
cause Martha had never been one
of the Sugar Hill Colony, she
hadn't noticed how seldom they
came In contact with his old
friends. And yet. they ran across
Suzanne every now and then. In
a restaurant where they were
dining. In the lobby of a theater.
Once Suzanne came to the plant
with some friends from out of
(own, asked Paul to show them
around ...
,' So many things, now that she
btcw Suzanne had always been
In love with Paul. Even before
Martha wore his ring.
'. "Martha," Suzanne was saying
huskily, "when you were engag
ed to him, I played It square. 1
tried to keep out of his way. I
didn't do a lot of things I could
have done. Oh. It wasn't easy.
Sometimes I couldn't help want
ing to see him. just for a little
while, But I didn't run after
him, I didn't play any tricks. I
told myself It was over and I
tried to get along without him."
' "Yes," said Martha faintly.
"Yes."
' "It was all right to begin again
when you married Bill. I was
wildly happy when Paul began to
call me again, ask to see me. nut,
Martha, It didn't lake long before
1 realized that he-, we- well, we
were always a foursome."
"1 don't understand."
"Yes, you do. You must! Surely
you weren't that blind! We'd sit
right here In this apartment, and
Paul's eyes never left you. He'd j
look at you so hungrily and all
the while he never heard a word
1 said . . ."
"You're crazy, Sue," Maltha

was spinning dizzily. "You Imag-1
ined It."
"Did I Imagine It when they
took you to the hospital, that
time when you almost had pneu- j
monla, and Paul almosl lost his j
mind - stayed there all night --"
"He was with BUI! They sat up
together, smoking, until I came
out of It . . ."
"Bill! His best friend! Do you
think that was easy to take?
Don't you see he had to pretend
to to be friends with him? And
then, Instead of dropping you
both, letting tt wear out, Paul
kept on seeing you. As If he
couldn't live without seeing you!"
"No. Suzanne. You're wrong.
It wasn't liko that at all!" Mar-j
tha got up, began to pace up and j
down the living room. Thoughts '
flashed in and out of her mind,
memories of nil the times she
and BUI am! Paul had been to
gether. "But never once did he
do anything say anything "
"He wouldn't have told you! i
He" Suzunne choked. "He,
prides himself on being honor
able! Honorable! And what
about me?" i
She leaped to her feel. She I
came and grabbed Martha's
shoulders and looked straight in- i

Suzanne's hands dropped,
wearily, and a shudder ran
through her slender frame. "Oh.

I all those misgivings she'd had
had been founded on things her

refused to look them In the face.
After a while, Suzanne lit an
other cigaret.
"It's no use crying," she said
in a hard little voice. "I suppose
I went too far when I said there

had been, I suppose, he wouldn't

She stood up. "I'm going. I've

exactly how much he takes you
out and -exactly how he feels

Roosevelt Lashes
Wheeler Talk On
Help to Britain
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.
(API- President Roosevelt de
scribed yesterday as "the rotten
est thing that has been said in
public life in my generation" a
statement, which he said he had
read in a paper, that every fourth
- ' American child would be plowed
under.
He made the statement In dis
cussing aspects of the contro
versy over legislation to autho
rize him to carry out his policy of
total aid to "democracies."
He declined to say who had
made the statement originally
aDout plowing under every fourth
child, but said it had been said by
several people. He added it was a
good time to kill a poor slogan at
oirtn.
In a radio speech Sunday night
Senator Burton K. Wheeler I D.,
Mont.), a leader of the opposition
to the administration's lease-lend
bill, termed the measure "the
new deal's 'triple A. foreign pol-
i icy plow under every fourth
American boy."
The chief executive had been
asked at his press conference
whether he had any comment on
the description of the proposed
legislation as "blank check."
Yes, he replied, he supposed the
best way to put It was to suggest
that some one write him another
bill that could not be so labeled I
and that would accomplish the
same objectives.
"That is not an answer," he as
serted, "to those, at all, who talk
about plowing under every fourth
American child, which I regard
as the most untruthful, as the
most dastardly, unpatriotic thing
that has ever been said. Quote
me on that.
"That really Is the rottenest
thing that has been said in public
life in my generation."
Wheeler Replies j
Shortly after the president had :
spoken, Wheeler issued the foi l
Inuinff Ktatomtmt- I
hiSr ,he p,esident losl!
"I sincerely hope that my state
ment will prove to be untrue and
that no American boys will be
plowed under because of this ad
ministration's war minded for
eign policy.
"I can think of nothing more
unpatriotic than to try to fan the
passions of the people of this
country to the point that they
will accept a program that will
send American boys to be killed
upon foreign battlefields.
"I am not unmindful that the
president has said no American
boys will be sent abroad,, buti I
submit to the American people
that every speech the president
has made since election has taken
this country one more step closer
to the present foreign war. I
hope his utterance will not In-
tlmidate the people from express
ing their opinions."

SEATTLE, Jan. 15. (API-
Two Alaskan Indians reversed to
