And as for telling you what that i?. that' Miss Fairfax's secret. 1 , have . no right to tell it. .. 'I thought Madge had guessed U yesterday when she found a letter 1 handwriting and that of Miss Fairfax. But she chose to consider it an ordinary loYe letter, and high handedly demanded An explanation which she didn't get.'' He ended ht sentence with a sort of a snap, which told me as. I lay, supposedly sleep ing in the next room, that Dicky was still held by'lhe angry ijbstinate mood which had possessed him in the morning. "But she'll get it before another hour, or my name Isn't Lillian Un derwood." Lillian said calmly. "Yon anointed young idiot, do you suppose I'm going to let you wreck your hap piness and Madge's for the sake of keeping a secret for tome half-baked girl? It's an easily guessed secret at that. If Madge hadn't been blind- ed by being in love with you, she would bare seen It. too." She paused and I lay breathlessly wonderinr what was the work, in which Dicky was helping Miss Fair fax,- and of which Lillian appeared to hare confident knowledge. - "What More Natural?" I didn't have long to wait. Lillian eyidently had paused only to make her next words more effective. "Of course you two hearen-born ceniuses are . collaborating on play4" she said. -1 heard an angry, surprised ex clamation from Dicky, then- the sound of a chair being pushed back. "There." Lillian's yoice was mock ing. "Now you're properly regis tered astonishment and rage. You'd make a lovely film favorite, Dicky bird. Suppose you sit down calmly now. and come to. I want to see this tangle with Madge straightened out, and I don't want to take all night to do it either." "I don't think Madge is worrying, herself much about me,". Dicky re joined sulkily. "Her performance this afternoon shows that." My heart leaped at the hurt note which betrayed itself in his .voice. It was another assurance that he still cared for me. ... . "Sometimes, Dicky, I have hard work to keen from shaklnc you!" Lillian retorted. "By your own ad mission Madge found a supposed lot letter of yours to Miss Fairfax, and you refused her an explanation of it Not pausing to consider Just what kind of a row you would have raised If you had found such a letter to Madge. I'll wager you left home Is some kind of a temper this morning- "Ydu say Dr. PetUt is going to the same city in South America where Madge's father Is? What more natural than he should call her up ask her to lunch with him. and give him any message she wished deliv ered to her rather. In a state 01 mind in which you probably left hef you ought to be thankful she didn't go clear to South America with him. Instead of onjy to luncheon. "I know." Dicky admitted, with one of his quick transitions from ob stinacy to penitence which are so characteristic of him. I was three or four kinds of a beast, but one thing I can't understand in Madge, and that's that she should dine with a man of whose friendship with her I've given her cause to know I dis approve." "Yoa can't get It through your head even yet that what's sauce for the gander Lillian began, but J could stand it no longer, I slipped out of bed, gathered Lillian's warn negligee closer around me. and fairly ran Into the room to Dlcky'a side. i - . To Snatch at Happiness. "Dicky." I half sobbed. "I ean't let you think 1 would have, gone If you hadn't treated my demand for an explanation about that letter The sound of a softly dosing door interrupted my sentence. Lillian had slipped out leaving us alone to gether. Dicky, with a little exclama tion at once fierce and loving, gatb-1 ered ma into his arms, and there against his heart. I sobbed out the story of my luncheon. No, not quite all. I didn't tell him of Dr. Pettit's Impassioned declara tion to me nor of his, accusations against Dicky. I knew that the young physician was hardly respon sible for his utterances when be made, them, and I felt that I could n't spoil these moments of reconcil iation with a recital which would be sure to inflame my husband's anger! anew. I realized also that this reconcilia tion would be only one of many if I Dicky and I logged down our marital highway. The time had passed when I had hoped for more stability in m husband. I had learned to snatch at happiness as it passed me, without questioning too closely Into the dur ation of Us stay. And yet my heart leaped high at the love in Dicky's eyes, and I felt again he is the only man in the world for me. (To be continued) Re d Cross Volume W'M Tell of Soldiers' Deaths Colin V.
