"There yiM be a good deal to do dttriag the next few weeks," said Alan. "Yeu will find that the hotel will get under your feet er ery fire minutes. Why not put up here? It would save us both a good deal of time." "That's rather a good idea," eald Shirley. "Wanks, Alan, if you're sure ! shan't be in your way." "Not In the least," he assured her. "This plaee is quite bis en ough for two. As to the respect auuity part ef it " "Oh that!" eaid Shirley con temptuously." After Shirley had gone back to the Felton to pack up and pay her bill, Alan, lingering over a ?ipe, tried to take stock of the latest development and found it extra ordinarily difficult. He wandered through the four rooms. He decided to gire up his own room to Shirley. There were no complications at all in his mind when he invited her to stay at the flat. Mrs. Sibley had made it clear that no one would believe the truth. To sleep tinder the same roof would, therefore, have no significance one way or the other. And if they were really going into the Macedonian business, were really going to engage their passage and make all the arrange - ments for travelings there was ob vious convenience in their beJaS together. . . He had been wholly uncon scious of Shirley's sex or person ality when he iad. given the invi tation and now already he had started worrying about be'f per sonal comfort. He went downtown to see a lawyer, then e&me back to his club for lunch. A page handed him a note. "Dear Brennaway: Can yon spare me a minute In the office, lie read, and the signature was that of the secretary. He went at once to the office. Cardew, the secretary, reeeived him with a auspicious warmth. "Ah, my dear Brennaway, I've Rccrcely seen you since you've been back. How did the rest-cure go?" "Fit as a fiddle, thanks," laid Brennaway. "The boy just brought me your note." "Ah! Yes. Tes. I wanted to lave a little chat. You see the levil of. it is well, you know ver'ectly well, old man, that this little job I've taken on often I feel I was a fool to do it any how, you know perfectly well Jthat one may well have to say a damned unpleasant thing which one would never think o$ faring In one's private capacity "I can guess what yOtt mian, Cardew." said Alan. "But how the devil the news has spread, I don't know." " -'. "You are forgetting that TCel Ion is a member," said Cardew "And the fact is. old man, there ti a motion " "My dear Cardew, you can eurdy count on me not to cause any unpleasantness in the club." ftut in Alan. ".Let me go on, Brennaway, fleaded Catdew. "I am limply going to offer you a suggestion. I Suggest that von rnfrafn fl-nm actually putting la an anoear- anee here until well, until von and the lady are married." Alan got up. I11 think over your advice. Cardew," he said. "Many thanks. in jet you know tonight." He left the club without the faintest intention of considering the secretary's advice. He felt It. just a little, as the porter saluted him for the last time. The Bren naways had been members of the Luke for many generations. The Luke, as every member believed, was the most companionable and the most tolerant, the most kind ly club in the world. But the Luke could not make him marry. Shirley. He did not want to marry Shirley. He want ed to see her try to marry him for money, to heae her hand him out unlimited apple sauce about Macedonian Developments, - want ed to see her shirk the real work and let him finish the job by fall ing in love with her. There was a tacit conspiracy on the part of everybody in the world to make him marry Shir ley. First there was Mrs. Sibley. The lawyer, while giving com fortable assurance about the writ, had tacitly assumed that h e would marry as soon as the law permitted. Now the Luke had added its quota. "I wonder when Shirley is go ing to begin I iwonder whether she has already begun?" After lunching at a restaurant he went back to the flat. As he entered the block the janitor ap proached him. "Mrs. Brennaway has arrived, sir, but had to go out again. I was to say that she's be back about seven. I've taken all the luggage up, sir." "Thank you." said Alan, and made for the staircase. Mrs. Brennaway! He had Invited Shirley to stay at the flat, but he had most cer tainly not invited her to call her self Mrs. Brennaway. Here was an issue. He would ask her why she had called herself Mrs. Bren naway." In the flat he sat down and wrote to the Luke resigning mem bership. This helped to fan his anger against" Shirley. He would use this to make her come out into the open. The hours ofloneliness In the flat dragged, on. He would not be in any way unpleasant about it. He would just -get her to say ex actly what material advantage she expected to derive from the fact of his being co-respondent. Perhaps she would come in be fore - seven o'clock. It was very boring sitting alone in the flat. It had been easy enough to while away the idle hours in Vermont, but his rest-cure was finished and he had left the itch of work. At six o'clock he began listening for her footsteps, wondering, at first indifferently and then anxiously, what was she doing. She would find it different, shopping and getting about in New York without her car. She had probably never walked about before in her life.

"I haven't had time." she laughed back. "I've had a simply terrific day. I must Bit down and gasp a little." "You look tired out," he said as she dropped into a chair in the sitting room. "Hare you been looking after yourself properly? Had any food?" -- ."Not since breakfast, she an swered. "I've been round to the consulate and I've found out heaps about Macedonia. Then there were those books you ad vised me to get I had a chase for, those." He looked at her disapproving ly. 1 She had been overtaxing her strength and she ought to hare had more sense after a totally Bleepless night. It was just when one below par that all those stree accidents occurred. "Oh, by the way, when I turn ed up here with my things from the Felton, the janitor didn't know what on earth to make of me. And I suddenly saw how awkward it was for him a strange young woman turning up at one of his flats, with lots of luggage so I tola him that I was Mrs. Brennaway. Remember to back me up if necessity should arise." All right," said Alan. "Look here, as soon as "you're got your wind we're going out to dine." A week later writs were served and the divorce proper bad be gun. The incident, unimportant in itself, brought Shirley's thoughts back to Roger. With a sense of detachment she thought of him, frightened and vengeful, trying to snatch at safety by striking at the man who had benefited him. She despised his twisted reasoning as much as his twisted morality. The belief that divorce proceed ings would make it impossible tor Alan to take any line he wished with regard to his own misappro priation a cat spitting at an ele phant. Thus she shrugged the thought of Roger out of her life and got on with her work. One evening, a couple of days after the writs had been served she noticed that he was particu larly moody over dinner. When they got back to the flat she ask ed him if there were anything on his mind. "On my mind no!" be ans wered sharply. "Let's do the work first anyway." They worked as usual until midnight. When she got up to go to bed, he pulled a letter from his pocket and put it back again. "I've heard from Groton, my lawyer, today," he began. "Roger has stipulated for a settlement on you, as I believe you know. Gro ton wants to know what I'm go ing to do and I should be glad to hear your views." So that was what had been troubling him, she thought and wondered why. "I've talked that over," she said briskly. "There's no trouble about it at all. Alan. He said that all that was nseessary was for you to give me in the deed of settle ment full and unrestricted con trol of the capital." "Oh, did he!" put in Alan. "And when that's been done and all the formalities attended to I can simply hand the whole thing back to you." "I see. And will that method be convenient to you?" . She misunderstood his ques tion. "It won't affect me one way or the -other," she answered. "I shall leave it all in his hands. "By the way," she added. "I would like to pay my share of the expenses of this flat. I know that In a way it's a bit silly but I'd rather do it, if you don't mind." "All right." he agreed. "I'll give you a bill before we sail. Good-night, Shirley." A few minutes later Alan went to his own room. "Clever!" he muttered to him self, "Damned clever!" His eye fell on a vase of flow ers on his dressing-table. He was sensitive to flowers and his sub consciousness welcomed them pictured her hands putting them there pictured her hands, her self Shirley. He had forgotten the room, the flat, the talk about settlements, in his dream of her coming to him with flowers in her hand. Abruptly he stiffened, snatch ed the flowers out of the vase and flung them into the grate. "Oh, Alan! You always made me think it was a hideous coun-J try. wny. it's beautiful from here!" . They were .standing together on the deck of the steamer that had brought them from Athens. The day was less than an hour old. but the traditionally cold light of dawn was here, in this land of strange contrast, as warm and tinted as a Mediterranean sunset. (To be continued tomorrow.)

(AP) Snow and a 40-mile wind today eausedtne second postponement of the army winter test flight from Self ridge field, to Spokane, Wash., and the 22 planes which are to take part in the man euver remained on the ice of Lake St. Clair. The snow slackened in the day, and Major Ralph Royce set 7:30 a. m., tomorrow for the start. This is. 4 8 hours later than the time originally set. The first de lay was caused by an accumula tion of ice on the planes, due to a rain which froze as it fell Tues day night. Major Royre said that a great deal of valuable experience had been gained during the two days delay. One result will be attempts to improve the type of heaters used in planes left outdoors in cold weather. TELLING TOMMY" ByPIM WHO STARTED ttPAUTOIKT, II DADDY?
