But In the bank, open Saturday afternoon, for earing a bank depoa itora, ha aeemed more hlmaelf again, teasing her about her thrlftinesa, and gallantly relieving her of her handbag while ahe made oat her de posit alip and endorsed her aalary check. "Peeking to see what kind of lipstick I nee?" she laughed at him, when .he left the teller', window. Jack dosed her little brown leather handbag and flashed as If he had been caught in the act of steal ing. "Just curious to see what a girl Btuffa into a handbag," he grinned at her. "I never saw one that didn't look ready to burst I noticed that the little Inalde mirror broke when you dropped your bag in the hotel dining room. Are you super stitions T Ruth shivered. "Seven years bad lock, you mean? Pooh I Tou can't BCAre met I've juat entered on seven years divine luck and aeren more and aeven more and aeven more " she chanted. Jack, mobile, aenaitive face went grave agnin, almost ahadowed. "Pleaae God you're right, dear." And do what abe would that eve ning and the next, Ruth Lester could not long keep the shadow of trouble, even fear. eut of her lov er'B eyes. True, tie ate the dinner thnt ahe cooked for him, and praised her culinary art extravagnntly. But nfter the dishes were waahed and restored to the tiny cupboard in the miniature kitchenet, he slumped into gloom again, forgetting to kiss her tor an long as half an hour at a time. She spent moat of Sunday in bed, but contrary to her fears, nn actual cold did not develop. There was just thnt odd shiver thnt ran along her nervea at the most unexpected moment. CTJNDAX evening they ate dinner in the little restaurant to which Ruth hod taken Jack the first time they had ever enten togother, in obedience to hie whimsical request that ahe ahow htm where ehe got such potent crumbs that the black pigeon would eat out or ner nana. "Oh, Jack, the poor pigeons!1 Kuth remembered the birus con tritely. "I waa so happy yesterday that I forgot to buy peanut, to feed them before J left for the week-end.

" "Darling!" Ruth laughed. "I do believe you're Jealous of the black Elgoon! He's a greedy aenmp. But nve you noticed how the little white ?igeon adorcn him?

It was not until she waa dressing to go to the office Monday morning that Ruth realized Jack had not re minded her of her promise foreign her position aa Harry Borden sec retary, -mil wuj mind me?" ahe reasoned. 'He knows km i. nenmiM. and I can un derstand hia not wanting to talk She arrived at the office at 8:1(1, though Borden never required her presence until half pat- And his train waa not due from Winter Haven until 12:10.

Ruth took th. dried sponge out of th. little gl.M dish on her desk, then emptied Into it an envelope of peannta and a larger package of crumbs. Satan and hia harem should have a feast and not have to wait until noon for It, either! Smiling, ahe opened the door be tween her office and Borden', pri vate office, and, with the glass dish In her band, atepped atroaa the threshold. ... . v The ghastly spectacle that met her evea robbed her of all power of mo tion for the Moment, and the pigeons of their meal.
