"The rest of my public seemed to think I was doing grand good job." "Well," George Thorvald told her. "It was your sense of humor that wrecked you. You saw that Camilla Wynne is really well, just funny and the harder she tries, the funnier she gets. And having a sense of humor, you couldn't help making her just as funny as she really is. . . . If you want to know, finding out how funny Ca milla is was the best thing that ever happened to me. ... Do her for me again now, that's a good girl, and make her funnier than you ever did before. Make her as funny as hell. I need a good laugh." So Constance did Camilla Wynne as she had seen her in some of her most heart-breaking and fun niest roles, while George Thor vald cackled with weak mirth. When Dr. Rogers came quietly into the room, George was begging with tears running down his cheeks, "Now do her in 'She Gave All' you know the way she said, 'But, darling, there are so many, many things you don't understand about me. . . . That's because you don't care enough. . . . That's why I am going to leave you. " Mark Rogers watched and lis tened for a few minutes, laughing very much as if he wouldn't if he could help it. When Constance went out he followed her into the corridor." "Well," he said, "I must say you've hit on the most unconven tional cure for nervous shock that I've ever seen. I don't understand" 'But, darling," Constance cut in on an impish Impulse, "there are so many, many things you don't understand about me." He broke his step and stopped to look down at her in startled in quiry. Then as she went on in Camilla Wynne's most languishing tones, "That's because you don't care enough. . . . That's why I'm leaving you" He flushed, laugh ed shortly, and fell into step with her again. "Dr. Rogers," she said suddenly. "I'm not really needed here any longer. I think I ought to go." He was leaning over, busy with the fastenings of his bag, and he Xpper fanny By Sylvia com. m 91 u soivict. mcrj. mg. u. 9. rT. orr. - m 7 ' 53!?' must stay for lunch !

"Go?" vaguely, as u uie woras ma not mean any thing to him. "Why if staying is inconvenient for you, I suppose we ought not to ask you to stay uy longer. . . . But Mr. and Miss inorvaid are your hosts, not I." It was not going at all as Con stance had planned it. There were a number of things she had been planning to say to him if she ver had an opportunity, and if he would only say the obvious things that would give her the proper cues. . . . But he did not say any of them. He only muttered something about being in a hurry, picked up his bag, and went on with a brief nod. Constance noticed, however, that he had time to stop in the sala where Hildeearde sat at the oiano: and that It was five minutes be fore he came out, laughine and looking years younger, as he so often did after a few minutes spent in tiuaa s serene, unhurried pres ence. After that evening Mark Rogers came to the house less and less; and when he did come, he never made any occasion to sneak to Constance alone. She said to Hilda one day. ten tatively, "Does Dr. Rogers ever take time to live to have any real life ot nis own like other people, I mean: ' Hilda laughed quietly as if at some secret thouslit, and said, should say that Mark is one of the most intensely alive people I know. Of course, since you've been here, he's been rushing around picking up the pieces that flew while he was away you know people who got sick but who wouldn't call a doctor till he got back. . . . And you have to know Mark pretty well, anyhow, to understand him. He's well, he's absurdly shy about things that mean a lot to him." He did turn up about lunch time the day Constance had begun to wonder whether she was to see him again before she left. He accepted Hilda Thorvald's invitation to eat with them with a matter-of-fact, "Fine! I've got my slate fairly well cleaned up today for the first time. I may not have to run out in the middle of the soup." As Hildegarde, Constance, Derek, and Mark Rogers lingered over their dessert Ernest Thorvald was off on one of his day-long tours of inspection about the ranch Hilda said, "Since you seem to be living a life of pampered luxury today, Mark, why not stick around and get acquainted with you moth er for a change? She telephoned that she was coming out this after noon. Vicento's "gone to town; he's bringing her back." Well, well" he smiled with the special smile he seemed to keep for Hilda "so Mother's caught up with me at last! I've hardly seen her since she got back from the east last night. I didn't dare. I knew she'd be bursting with news she just had to get off her chest and you know there's no stopping Mother if you once let her button hole you." Constance thought enviously, Why can't he treat me that way? Instead of acting as if I were some thing that had lit on his nose, and might bite him at any minute. They had hardly got up from the table and gone out into the patio when the car drove up out side, 'and Mrs. Rogers sailed in upon them, plump and beaming and voluble as ever. "My dear Hildegarde," she be gan, "how terrible about George! I came the first minute " Then she saw Constance, and her jaw dropped. "Why," she cried, "this can't be but it is, isn't it? My dear Miss only I suppose it's Mrs. Manthon now, of course. Isn't it? . . . So the girls at Bartlett's were right! And you two are really married after your interrupted honeymoon?"
