Even before Martha wore hia ring. "Martha," Suzanne waa saying huskily, "when you were engaged to him, I played it square. I tried to keep out of his way. I didn't do a lot of things I could have done. Oh, it wasn't easy. Some times I couldn't help wanting to see him, Just for a little while. But I didn't run after him, I didn't play any tricks, I told myself it was over and I tried to get along without him." "Yea, aald Martha faintly. "Yes." "It was all right to begin again when you married Bill. I was wildly happy when Paul began to call me again, ask to see me. But, Martha, it didn't take long before I realized that he we well, we were always a foursome." "I don't understand." "Yes, you do. You must! Sure ly you weren't that blind! . We'd sit right here In this apartment, and Paul's eyes never left you. He'd look at you so hungrily and all the while he never heard edge of a wora i &aia . . . "You're crazy, Sue." Martha whispered. "Crazy." Her brain was spinning dizzily. "You imag ined it." . "Did I imagine H when they took you to the hospital, that time when you almost had pneumonia, and Paul almost lost his mind stayed there all nisht " "He was with Bill! They1 sat Up together, smoking, until I came QUt of it . . ." "Bill! His best friend! Do you think that was easy to take? Don't you see he had to' pretend to to be friends with him? And then, instead of dropping you both, let ting it wear out, Paul kept on seeing you. As if he couldn't live without seeing you!" "No, Suzanne. You're .wrong "N07 Strzanne. You're wrong, got up, began to pace up. and down the living roorir. Thoughts flashed In and out of her mind, memories of all the times she and Bill and Paul had -been together! "But never-once did he do anything say anything" "He - wouldn't, have told you! He " Suzanne choked. "He prides himself on being honorable! Honorable! And what about me?" She leaped to her feet. She came and grabbed Mart it's shoul ders and looked straight Into her eyes. "Listen, that's why I stopped coming here so much be fore Bill left That's exactly why. Oh, I couldn't stay away alto gether. I I'm the same way about Paul, he is about you. I Just had to see him!" "Suzanne, you must stop! You mustn't say things like that!" "Why must I stop? It's the truth! You know it's the truth! And now, now that your hus band's in the Army and you're alone again, Paul's making hay while the sun shines, isn't hr? That's why we quarreled! That's why he didn't tell you what it was all about, you fool! Because I told him straight out I was sick and tired of being camouflage being used as a blind so he could see you without people talking!" "Suzanne!" THE REGISTER.

SEGAR Suzanne's hands dropped, wearily, and a shudder ran through her slender frame. "Oh. what's the use? I thought if I told you if ynu understood " She whirled, suddenly. "I've been a fool! You probably knew all about it. A woman always knows when a man loves her. You did know! You must have known, and you encouraged him!" "Suzanne!" Martha's knuckles weer white as she gripped the the end table. "You've got to stop talking like this. I won't have it. Not a word of it is true! You're just Just making trouble . . . ' All at once, she was sobbing. Helpless tears stung her eyes, and her mouth quivered. "Why should you come here and s-spoil a f-f-friendship that was clean and " "Because it was never merely friendship. For Paul." "That isn't true! You know there's nothing nothing at all between Paul Elliott and me! Why, I was engaged to him! If I if lw why, I'd have married him, wouldn't I? How dare you say I encouraged him? I didn't.' I never even guessed. I married Bill and I" She was faltering stupidly, the tears getting the best of her. Tears, and a futile rage: a sick, unwelcome conviction that all those misgivings she'd had had been founded on things her own mind knew, while her heart re fused to look them in the face. After a while, Suzanne lit an other cigaret. "It's no use crying," she said In a hard little voice. "I suppose I went too far. when I said there wai actually something between you and Paul. If there had been, I suonose. ne wouian 1 ever nave needed me for camouflage. All right, I'm sorry I said that. May be you never guessed tnat Paul was still in love witn you. out If vou d dh't. Martha, then it's time someone told you." She stood uo. "I'm going. I've said enough. But remember, there's only so much one human being can bear. And it wouldn't be very nice, would it if some one should tell your husband ex actly how often Paul comes here, exactly how much ne - lanes you out -and exactly how he feels about you." .
