to her instantly. A yard where
Glad could play roses in the
spring. She rang the bell.
Marian rented the apartment. It
was on the second floor of the old
house. A living room, kitchen, two
bedrooms, one large and one tiny,
shining new bath. It was fur
nished comfortably, the entire
house had a home-like atmos
phere, the landlady was comfor
tably atout. After buying sup
plies, Marian went for the baby.
She had a satisfied feeling that
they had come home.
She hurried through the week,
adding little touches to the rooms,
cooking, planning, thinking of
Dan. He'd like a lamp beside that
big chair. There must be ash
trays and matches, Dan was al
ways out of matches.
Perhaps he would never live in
the pleasant home, but he would
be there, he'd come to see them.
She and Glad were Dan'a family.
Although he did not want to live
with them, they were there to
stay. Dan's little girl must grow
up near her father, she must know
her father.
Saturday morning Marian called
Dan's hotel. Dan had said that he
was settled in a pleasant room in
the Heathman hotel. She knew
he would not be there at that hour,
had planned to leave her telephone
number. The hotel clerk told her
where she might reach Mr. Hark
neaa his office. Dan with an
office?
Mouth dry, hands shaking, Mar
ian called Dan's office. When he
answered, the said, "This is Mar
ian. Dan."
"Marian" There wat joy and
almost learrui disDeiiei in the ex
clamation. When he spoke again
hiB voice was cool, controlled.
"Where are you, Marian?"
She gave him the address.
"Have you plans for tomorrow,
Dan?"
"I expected to spend the day
aione."
"Then will you have dinner
with me?" Would he say that he
would come right then? He did
not.
He said, "I shall be delighted.
What time?" He might have been
any man accepting any woman s
invitation.
"One o'clock?"
"I'll be there."
.
The next morning was a flutter
of preparation. Removing every
toy and tiny garment from the
living room, Marian put the baby

to bed at 12. Glad wat not to be
uaed at a lever. Possibly, but only
as a last resort She roasted a
small turkey, cooked Dan't favor

At IS minutes before one aha
was waiting for him, feminine and
desirable, in a Simula frock hair

omless.
He knocked and Marian onnd
the door. She stood looking at
him. Her lips smiled, her evet
smiled, she held out both hands.
"Dan "
He took her hands. "It's eood to
see you Marian aood." Hia voice
was husky, repressed. He did not
kiss her.
They talked a few minutes.
skimming the surface, then she
served the dinner, the table set
in an old-fashioned bay window.
Dan's eyes kept straying to her
vivid face, puzzled.
"You've changed, Glad," he
said. He'd called her Glad. Such
a little thing, but so much. Her
heart sang.
'I'm going to be honest with
you, Dan," she said seriously.

you shall say how lt will be with

learned how very much I loved
you." Tears misted her eyes and
he leaned across the table to lay
his hands over hers. That made it
easier.
"I Quit my job the last of Jan
uary. I've been learning to be a
home-maker and and I've lived
on your money, Dan."
"I didn't know I should have
sent more."
"It was fun. making ends meet.
Oh. Dan. I've tried so hard to
make myself worthy of you. Will
you can you give me another
chance?"
He rose, drawing her Into hit

It was an hour later, they were
sitting in one big chair as they
had so often done, that Dan told
her about his work. "I've found

He kissed her llngeringly. "I
have a nice salary, my bonus will
be several thousand this year."
Marian got aulckly to her feet.
Her cheekt were crimson, she
spoke breathlessly. "I have a
bonus for you, Dan. It't the bonut
I earned."
She ran to the bedroom. The
baby looked up at her, tleepy

went to tne aoor. a oeaumui,
radiant woman and her child
"Do you like her, Dan? She's
yours and mine."
He sprang to nit reel, in inree
long strides he crossed the room.

Marian laughed. "No. I didn't

Dan leaned forward, putting hit
