YESTERDAY; Suzanne be llovcs thai Paul still loves Mar tha, boRS Martha to quit seeing him. The foursome, with Bill and Martha, wan just to (jive Paul a chance to be with Bill's She didn't sleep that night. She patted the bed beside her, when at last she pot in, and Butch leaped up. Huddled clone to his warm body, she lay thinking and thinking. She mustn't see Paul wife. Martha angrily denies inlone any more. That much was any hint of an affair with Paul clear. and Suzanne agrees Mnrtha is Inueent. As she leaves, however, she threatens to tell Bill if Mar tha goes on seeing Paul. IP BILL KNEW CHAPTER VII I For a long moment, after Su zanne's Inst words left her lips, they didn't quite sink in. The small girl with red hair, hud dled on the sofai didn't quite un derstand the enormity of what she had heard until Suzanne was reaching for tho doorknon, Suzanne had accomplished what she set out to do! "Give me a chance to get him back," she had cried. "Oh, Bill," Martha wept storm Ily, "Bill, why did they ever draft you? You never should have gone away from me. Never." The next morning in the of fice, It was as if everything had changed. The sunny room was bleak, the shadows cast by the Venetian blinds seemed like burs. The office was a cage. She couldn't voti wouldn't dare -go to him with a lie like that!" "Lie? I wouldn't He. There's no need. It's true that Paul's In love with you, and that you've been seeing him every night, even after I refused to come along and play chaperone." Maltha's mouth was dry, a lit tle pulse hammered In her throat. "But I didn't mean any thingIt was Innocent and Bill (rusts Paul - You can't do this! You can't come Into our lives and-" "I didn't say I would," Suzanne told her evenly. "I merely said that If wouldn't be very nice if someone did." Then, as If Martha's shock and misery had gotten through to her, she leaned Impulsively over her. "Look, darling, I know you. And I know Paul. He's held him self In leash, he's suffered but lie hasn't made love to you. The only thing I'm asking Is that you look the facts in the face. Quit seeing him." Once more her voice vlbratcd'j with passion, "filve me a chance to get him back!" When the door closed behind Suzanne, she left ruin behind. The world of simple friendship, of trusting and uneonpllcatetl companionship which had sprunc up- between- Martha and Paul, since that day she told him, "I'm going to' marry Bill; But can't we he friends-?" was wrecked for ever. Never again could she he so casually cool with him. Never nnnln could she laugh, and talk and danee with him and remain blind to the truth she had not seen before- that ho loved her. I.oved her enough to torture him self endlessly by seeing her witli Bill, by visiting in the apart ment where she lived as Hill's wife. "Waif a minute, Suzanne!" She ouht l0 iPaVp it. Never see ran to her. "What do you mean. , pall) aRain, not even here. But someone might tell Bill? Oh, you ;now sne needed her lob. When Paul ccr-o in, she couldn't help the little tautness that went over her. She couldn't help looking at him In a way she had never looked at him before. As always, there was a pipe in his mouth. As always, he bid her ;a cheerful good moraine. She an swered almost Inaudlblv, and bent her head low over the type writer as he went Into the pri vate office. Through the long morning, she couldn't seem lo stop looking at him. With that awful fascina tion, that suddenly clear and penetrating gaze. As If she had never seen him before, exactly us he was. He had discarded his coat. In shirtsleeves, he worked at the board iri his office, the door open. His shoulders were broad OUR BOARDING HOUSE With Major Hoople M.

Not after she tasled the heady wine, the magic ecstasy of the touch of Hlli'x hand, the sound of bis voice, the feel of his lips on hers. . . . Could it be that for Paul there was magic and wonder only with her? Oil, he shouldn't have gone on ellnelng to the ghost of some thing that was dead! He should havo turned to Suanne. But Martha knew, achinclv. that love Isn't like thai. All the counsels of common sense, all the old teachings she had been taught at home of love, honor and duty, had directed that even though Bill's blue ees had wakened something to singing life inside her, that first time still she had no right to go on seeing mm. Had no right lo let him kiss her while Paul's ring was on her finger. Practical considerations would have directed that Paul, with money of his own and a fine po sltion. was the belter man to marry. He could have bought her so much that she and Ul'l realization that those awful Portland where they will visit things she had said were true; and attend to business returning settled more and more heavily her Tuesday evening.
