They fPrf to suspect that the very nl A f her world were of her jround her. I "'" -j ..r.alf from bed at . .7 eh. hadn't alept for ll a .;.ay. There was no use Iir'at herself In the mirror. W"1. had aged overnight, ahe "Allf Tom .till slept, heav to" be"f..V.i:.iv. on the daybed. I . ...u fnrirlvB him W'frr had betrayed an SritM Pct ,he day befre IjbiuW. heavy-eyed, ahe went .tbs business of preparing Sast. She had to eat some bfr she reminded herself. Even f Tom didn-t love her any more. Ln If It dial'1 n,atter t0 anyone IVrther "he lived or died (she was rinsalarse family of Morella noment) she had to have '-5Hh!if onnuirh. she brought .SiS to it nl t. Pchrt i t white panuea think, ny'ng home the night bete- that she would tell Tom she n,' working for Marko-that hla nay had bought the platinum titch! Now she would keep that lilslr to herself. She needed, Bhe Kid herself coldly, every penny ibe could earn. If Tom were going io behave In thia unforseen. this outrageous fashion, aurely ahe had i right to earn money In any bonorable way which presented Itself. . . , niof a time he wandered out, looking big-fjed and sleep-sodden ud tbeeplsh. "Rood morning Gypsy's reply was glacially po lite. "Will you have aome coffee?" She glsnced out of the window with studied Indifference. "Your orange Juice is In the Icebox." "Xo, thanks." He didn t aay tii head ached but he looked It, At last Tom's composure broke. "Look. Gyps," he said placating- hr. "Let's have It out. I can't stand this." It's none of my doing. Gypsy tlooght rebelllously. I didn t gam- bit sway our money. It's no fault ol mine. But she listened to him, iiTertbeless. She could not entire ly steel her heart against him. Hed been at a loose end, be said, tie day before. She was busy he didn't have anything to do. Some of the fellows had gone over to tit club and a game bad started. At first he hadn't meant to get in, Bit he had. He had won, to begin with. He had got excited. Then luck had changed. He hadn't been ibis to stop, "How much?" She didn't look at bin. "Serenty dollars." His voice Mi very low. "Ob, Tommy." But the word wis enough. The Ice around her "art had cracked up. She was In bis arms and she was crvine. ud be wis smoothing her hair and telling her he never would again. Sbsknew that, didn't ahe? And he a nound he knew that She wsstlng her time with him. GjPay put her hand over hla Bonth. "You're not to say hat wr." She felt atrong and ma wnal snd brave. Her love went wt to him like a tide. So It was that the Morells, troop- " ra at naif past four, found isron oi a united pair. Gypay, urown curia shining. In a Jrfgnt frock, and Tom with hla around her. So the storm blew over for the moment and the little domestle bark waa ateered Into sat waters. But It waa hard, making up for Tom'a losses. They felt the pinch of It all through January, and though Gypay said nothing, Tom felt It none the leaa and aald to himself grimly that he had learned hla lesson. Gypsy's Saturdaya at Narka's continued. All her fears had van ished now. After that firat Satur day ahe aaw him only once or twice. Her conscience no longer troubled her. She waa getting through the work splendidly. The richness and the comfort of the big room received her agreeably wnenever ane came. Bates had taken to serving her tea, Gypsy would look up to see the ailver tray with Its delicate china and linen Before her. "Mr. Broughton aald you were to have It, Madam." On the fourth Saturday ah had planned to leave rather early. As usual, ahe had told Tom a white He about meeting someone for shopping. But the difficulty of making Saturday a permanent engagement waa growing. At last she nut away pencils and pads, covered the typewriter and re signed it to Ha cave of darkness. She was just about to ring for BRtes, to secure once more the cus tody of her hat and coat, when ahe heard a familar voice in the draw ing -room. "Don't trouble, Betes." ahe heard Lila say. "I'll wait right here. Mr. Broughton will be home directly. He said ao. Gypsy's hands flew to her throat. Lila, of all people! Oh, she didn't want to be found here. It wouldn't matter what she said or how ahe tried to explain, Lila simply would not understand. Her eyebrowa would go up, she would look quiiiical and sophisticated and amused. No, ile couldn't wouldn't bear it! Wildly she looked about for a method, of escape. But a penthouse 20 stories up offers few of these. Gypsy glanced at the clock. It was five minutes past fire. She stodd up, bracing herself for the en counter. No matter what Lila said or thought, ahe had to walk out of that room at that moment. He foot was on the threshold, her hand at the gates behind the velvet cur tains. He heart was going like a triphammer. I thought you were gone, Ma dam". . . Instead of Lila, Bates stood at the fireplace. Lila a fur lay across a chairback, her acent linger ed on the air. Gypsy murmured something hasty and low and aped across the room like an arrow. Luck waa with ber! Lila had gone into Mnrko'a dressing room to powder her nose! She was safe. She could escape without being seen: (To be Continued) Painting of Camp Given Camp Creek CAMP CAPE CREEK, CCC, Feb. 20. (Special).
