self could slip so easily back in
to tne routine 01 the days be
fore she went to Bayville!
The next morning, she dressed
briskly for her return to the
office. The smart dark dress, the
crisp white collar, the neat gab-ardlne-and-patent
shoes for
which she had had little use in
the bungalow, and which had not
been festive enough for Sun
days, seemed to armor her once
more with their working mood.
.But when she was actually go
ing through the big double doors
that led to the reception room,
she quaked a little. Maybe All
Transport didn't want her back.
Perhaps they had gotten along
very nicely indeed without Mrs.
Marshall, thank you.
The sirl at the switchboard
Cried. "Look who's here! Of all
peoDle! I thought you retired."
"I thought so, too. Is the Chief
in?"
I The Chief was In. He came
; bursting out from his private of
1 fice when he heard her name.
and he wrung her hand In such
honest pleasure that all misgiv
ing left her.
"Martha," he said. "Martha, be
fore you say one word about only
having stopped in for a visit, I
beg to look at me. Look at
me hard and see the new gray

when she pulled up with a
scream of brakes, outside the
bungalow on Grace-street, the
dog which came barking joyous

pushed him aside. ,
Helen was sitting on the porch
knitting, while the babv slept.
She lifted her head. The knit

In the euardhouse, she turned
that over in her mind. Bill had
been right, after all. Going mm
to Air Transport meant going
back to Paul.
Shu nlnvorf with the Idea 01
trying for a job somewhere else.
Her pressure on tne accrirr
lightened and she mentally
skimmed a list of places where
she mignr inquire, nui m
Immediately she knew she could
n't afford delay and job hunting.
There was Very little money In
k. Koa At Air Transoort. she
was a trained and valued work
er. To some other firm, snen
he only an unknown quantity.
rn(.i hny rhin lifted- -to be
afraid of going bark to Paul was
to admit that most 01 wnai him
had said was true.
Unwillingly, she remembered
Paul's voice saying. "As long as
vou're happy w ith Bill. I'm satis
fied to remain out of the pic
ture!" ' Would he be satisfied If
he found out the reason for her
coming back?
"1 won't tell him." she decided.
"Oft. t mustn't think too much, I
need my job. I need to be Inde
nnnriont a train -I need my self-
respect and time to get over this.
I Time to-to deride definitely -"
! She drove straight to Mrs. I.nr
! kin's house. The lady was
jglad to see her, comfortably tin
I aware of the strangeness about
i her return.
' "I've pot your same room, still
I empty, Mrs. Marshall. Is your
I sister all better now? That's
good. I wanted to tell you, the
' night the wire came, that worry
I Ins never does much good. AH
j kinds of times, In a lifetime, I
; always sav. The lips and the
downs and your sister, having
three young ones and all - why -
vou'd almost expect something
like that."
I Her voice flowed on, while she
! stretched fresh sheets on the bed
and helped Martha unpack the
suitcases. "You take me, I had
my share, I can tell you. Five
children, I had. And Mr. Larkln,
God rest his soul, no help at all
when I was sick a day. The man
couldn't lift a finger around the
house without he broke some
thing. If I'd had a sister to come
and help me, a lucky woman I'd
have thought myself! And the
airplane factory, too such nice
folks to work for letting you
stay away weeks at the time . . ."
Mrs. Larkin was so busy talk
ing she almost overlooked Butch.
Flnaly, of course, she got around
to him. "This your dog you were
boarding at that kennel place?
Not thinking of keeping him
with you now?"
"Oh, no. I I believe I'll take
him over to the farm right now."
She felt guilty, as Butch leaped
happily back into the car. "Poor
boy, I do drag you around, don't
I?" As soon as he got comfort
ably settled In one sort of life,
she was taking him off to an
other. She thought, suddenly
"Suppose we had a child, Bill and
I?" People who quarreled peo
ple who separated did to their
children exactly what she wai
doing to Butch.
Tears stung her eyes, then;
The first tears since she had
walked out of the guardhouse,
yesterday. "But you're not a
child, Butch. You're lucky not
to be a child," she sobbed idiotic
ally. "I'm a fool, and you're a
dog and and oh, Butch,
Butch!"
At the farm, however, It seem
ed not nearly so tragic to be
bringing Butch back. Because a
small tan fox terrier greeted him
with delighted barks from be
hind the wire fojice, and the old
man who ran the farm patted
Butch affectionately. "We've
missed you, boy..Misscd us any?"
The old man shook his head over
the state of Botch's coat. "What's
this, chewing gun? And what've
you been feeding him?".
"It probably is chewing gum,"
Martha told him. "My sister's
children. ..."
She watched from the back
porch as Butch trotted in to join
the tan fox terrier. Ho was going
to be all right. If only she her-

The one after that was even
worse, and Saturday I got rid of
the one who followed her.
"Martha, you must take pity
on us! Engineering secretaries
don't grow on bushes. We'll give
you a raise, we'll put fresh flow

"Stop!" she laughed. "Stop,
