Scared stiff something happened to you when you didn't come home Saturday night Byrd told Martinthe whole story. ; v She made light of her fainting spelt, but thought it was Just 'as well to rest tor a few days. 1 thought you'd like to, come back to the house and ' I brought some robes and things i to make the ride more comfortable." Mar tin's eyes looked hopefully to ward Byrd. .'- "- - "No,' she shook her head, "it's the doctor's orders that I stay here for a' week. ' "That sounds kind of bad said Martin, disappointedly, i "Does he think you're really sick,?- v '-'Well, the ' Obermans are old friends," confided Byrd, "and they've sort of Influenced him." They talked along In friendly fashion. .: Byrd quizzed Martin about the flowers and - thanked him for them. fj He was sitting very close to ner sldend looked adoringly at her from his frank, honest eyes. Suddenly they heard a light, springy step' on the stairs, and Larry burst into the room. : . He stood stock-still as he?. saw Martin. Larry's tall,, well-knit figure- was framed against the dark hall,, his lean, angular face just a little leaner and more angu lar than Byrd had ever seen it, seemed harassed with .worry. Faint, gaunt depressions under the eyes showed that Larry hadn't been sleeping well. ,"Oh, hello, Larry," said Byrd, in her most casual tone, "come in. I want you to'meet my friend, Mr. Kelly. This is Mr. Brown ing." . The introduction emphasized Martin and ignored Larry. It put Martin immediately at his ease. : He picked up hia hat, hoping that Byrd would ur.ge him to stay. "Thanks so much for the gor geous flowers, Martin." Byrd smiled at him so sweetly that Martin stared hard at her for a moment. But she sounded so sin cere that his heart warmed to the very core. "I hope you'll let me know if I can do anything, Byrd," he 'said, gallantly. Only Byrd noticed the little hesitation before her name slipped from his tongue and she gloated over his using it. As he turned at the door to nod good-bye, Byrd wared a gay hand at him. "Who in the devil's that guy?" asked Larry, with utter disgust in his voice. Byrd ignored the question. "Ah," she murmured in the ac cents of Karsavina, "thee dance, eet deed not go so well at the end. Something go wrong weeth my head, yeaz?" Byrd laughed teasingly and her eyes were enigmatical and slight ly taunting. A hard, determined look came over Larry's face. He would see to it that Byrd didn't continue this silly game with him, for he was here to talk seriously about their affairs. He decided not to question her now about Martin. "Well, you had a very amusing time last night, didn't you?" asked Larry, walking to her side and looking down at her. He had a- strange expression In hia eyes which was a cross between anger and. admiration; - Oh, eet grieve me that you didn't llketheKarsaviha," con tinued Byrd in a "gay cool tone. Then .she resumed her own speak ing voice.1 "I thought she was a knock-out myself." Larry, frowned. He didn't un derstand Byrd in' this mood. She had 'developed the sklttishness of a young colt. "It was a clever stunt, darned clever," he admitted. "."You were a ' rage while you .lasted. You must have worked hard to learn those dances In such a short time. I'll take off my hat to the 'leetle Karsavina." ,x 7 jr. Byrd had a feeling that Larry was driving himself to compli ments. He was a little baffled by this totally strange person who had replaced the' demure little person who. had. once -been his wife.- He was just a little shocked at becudaclty her impertinence, her oaringrxr a - "But "I thought 'that Russian was altogether too attentive," he said. In"7 a funny, husky voice which attempted to be mildly crit ical and yet couldn't conceal the good, old-fashioned jealousy un derneath. "You know how people talk J" he added, lamely. Byrd's light laughter contained a touch of cruelty and much ridi cule and Incredulity. : "Why, you're the last person to pay any attention to what people say!" she said. Impudently. "You" He interrupted her -angrily. "I'm not hardened to it where my wife is concerned," he explod ed. - Then he quickly calmed down and looked at her almost plead ingly. "Byrd, you know how I feel about you," he said thickly, and his voice shook with emotion. "It drives me almost Insane to see other men hanging around you all the time. Who's this Martin, any way?" he asked, suddenly remem bering how softly he had called her Byrd." v A former conversation flashed across her mind, the words that Jack had said to her the night of her wedding. "If Margy would step a little, make me wonder what she's up to, instead of worrying about me all the time " , "I'll be glad to tell you about my new friends when you change your attitude toward me," an swered Byrd, in a chilling voice. "It was your own suggestion that we live our lives without interfer ence, choose our friends and do as we please, without criticism"1 from each other." It seemed suddenly to amuse Byrd tremendously that Larry was asking her about her friends, and she burst into laughter over it. Sho continued laughing until she didn't know whether she was laughing or crying, and grew a little hysterical. Larry couldn't decide what had happened to her. She really act ed slightly intoxicated. "You just slaughter me with your funny, old-fashioned ideas!" and the . tears ran down her cheeks; but Larry never guessed they were real tears. "Byrd, I came to talk to you seriously," Larry began again in a humble voice. ."I can't go on living without you. I love you more than anything in this world. I love you more than I ever have. Perhaps I didn't love you the right way during those terrible months after our marriage." His voice, r with its"; soft, emotional hHskiness; sounded irresistible in Byrd's ears. - "I've" worked like a son-of-a-gun to atralghten-everything out and I'm beginning to see daylight. I want to begin over, . I Intended to wait little longer to show: you the real proof- of j what I've, accomplished. ' But I guess you'll believe Mr. Polk" Larry's anguish , choked his words and he stopped for a mo ment. ': i . ; Twin v. searchlights, like long blue' blades seemed to flash from Byrd's eyes and cut the air be tween them. "Oh, that's merely a passing emotion", she 'said indifferently. "YcuHr never' go back to" those bills, to, those quarrels, to those awful .home-looked meals! Mar riage, was merely a necklace 'of rocks around your" neck." Grimly she . stifled the quaver that seemed to threaten to creep into her. voice. She must cover it with a hard edge. She laughed a low, mocking laugh that sounded faintly famil ial in her ears. It sounded just like India's! "And I couldn't go back! Nev er," she continued. "The gay life and the merry one for me! How about a little drink before you go? We'll seal our new friend ship with Scotch or rye or. what have you? Oh, Tiny!" she shrieked at the top of her voice But Larry's hand over -Tier mouth throttled the words. "Please don't call Tiny J" he said. Larry's eyes held hers in their spellbound amazement. He looked Into her eyes loag and searchingly. " She had changed, by Jove, he was thinking. Her face looked bard, insolent. Painted with the brightest colors, too, that seemed to have sunk beneath the surface and tainted her soul. Tiny appeared at the door. "Bring a little Scotch, will you Tiny?" asked Byrd.' Tiny, smiling her cherubic smile, returned in a minute with two little" glasses on a tray. She was gloating over the fact t,hat she had brought about a reeon ! dilation. .. , Daintily Byrd took one and with a gesture to Larry, said. ''Here's -to the beginning of, a real friendship!!' and drank 1C, - ' Larry held the s other ' glass In his hand uncertainly." Then' with a savage oath;- he hurled it to the floor. ' : , ,. . . - , I His fury bung hx a eurved blade In the air, cutting, cutting deep into their hearts and his words like horrible fearful blows struck into Byrd's quivering flesh. Then with a hopeless gesture. Larry took his hat and walked a little gropingly toward the door. He passed Dr. .Newcomb who was Just entering. ;. ..They heard the outer-door re verberating with .ghostly sounds for a minute, afterward. Tiny turned with tears starting in her eyes and hurried downstairs' after him. i i A film spread overJByrd's eyes but she quickly brushed ft away. She seemed . to be caught . in ' a strange daze, seeing everything about her from a great distance. The doctor's form- loomed gi antlike near her and she was barely conscious . of being ques tioned. . Suddenly she floated back to. the present and was con scious that she and the doctor were" carrying on a quite normal conversation. .Tiny came back into the room, y LECTURES 3 ByRCTEverson I Subject tonight Thursday, 7:45 P.
