Over breakfast ehe never ceased thanking him. He 'iad to narrate the devious bargainings by which be bad procured It. In the hall, on the point of de parture, the offensive bureau caught his aye. The devil ot Jealousy prompted blm. "You've been handsome over my measly ottering. It Isn't a patch on the one your first bnsband sent you." He longed to beg her forgiveness. Drifting apart. Going out ot his Tray to wound her. His day waa made miserable by the recollection. He came borne early to find the bureau Installed as a permanent ac quisition. Instead of protesting, be forced himself to be broad-minded. The act ot atonement wblcb be bad planned took place at dinner. "I bought two tickets for a new musical comedy. If you'd prefer to crap them" "Stay at home! I should say not. Ton are a darling." Shortly after the curtain bad risen, Banta clutched his band. There was no tense moment there rarely are In musical shows to account for her emotion. . "What's troubling yon?" he whis pered. "Lou-Lou." IB "Who's Lou-Lou?" ' "Ton remember at St. Jean.

Santa pointed to the stage aud nudged her husband, indicating the actress who was speaking. Cllve estimated the charms of his life's rival, who bad led her first bnsband astray. She wai ot the baby-doll type, flaxen and sugary. The situation waa piquant In a aense h waa arbitrating between Lou-uon and his wife. During the intermission he and Santa followed the crowd to the Xoyer. "She ought not to be allowed," Banta tugged on bis arm fiercely. "How allowed? Do you mean sbe bught to be exterminated?" "It's Insulting to have to watch ber. How anyone can be such an Idiot " "She's the kind men fall tor." "You couldn't. Or could your bhe inquired Jealously.

' "Buy me aome of those song-rec-brds; they're selling them at that table." He waa glad to give her a chance o calm down. She was curiously op-alded. Could see only her own viewpoint. Wa convinced she was Instilled in condemning Lou-Lou; but considered him narrow when he objected to Dak. To sit the show but would mean prolonging the un pleasantness. He would bundle her pit for a bite ot supper. Having secured the records, be returned to where he had left her. Be spotted her behind a barricade of shoulders In animated conversa tion with an opera-bat. The face Under the opera-hat was turned trom him. As be claimed her, she threw hit t clear look.

On the drive home she snuggled. "Wasn't she cute? I take every thing back. I'm sorry 1 was snap PT." "That's all right," he muttered. "It waa queer Dicky being there," aha ventured. "You get a kick out of discussing him." "But I've no one else to talk to," she pouted. "Then shoot." 'How did Lou-Lou scramble into that show?" "Someone's backed her. We should worry." "One more question." The taxi waa halting. "Do you think Dicky's backing her?" "Not my business.'! was never married to blm." Having entered the apartment she proposed that they should raid the ice-box. He volunteered to ac company her, but aha refused. Left, alone, the rudeness ot his retort appalled him. Where would things end it he took to throwing her first marriage at her? Facing blm, established In a place of hon or, almost aa though It were Dak in person, stood the handsome three thousand dollar bureau. "Admiring ltl" Santa paused In the doorway. "Allow me." He took the tray which she was carrying from her and set it down on a table. When she had seated herself, hs thrust a cushion behind ber and proceeded to wait on her. "Why the politeness?" Her mis chief was returning. "Guilty conscience." He sbrugged his shoulders. "Funny boy I" She reached up to him. "Not till I've said That's troubling me. One kiss from you and I'm in your power."

Everything's going to come all right" "I'm not referring to finances. Don't you realise, Banta, that there's a growing frluion between us? We lore each other to distrac tion, but " "Of course you're irritable, poor dear," aha interrupted. "I make al lowances." "If we were as certain ot each other aa we were at St. Jean there wouldn't be any necessity for al lowances." He raised her band to bla lips. "Don't be an ostrich. You're blind to things that dis please you." She curled an arm behind her head. "It's a fact. Refusing to see un pleasant things Is my way ot get ting through life. Yours Is to imagine them." "I don't Imagine that" He point ed at the bureau. "I didn't Imagine Dak tonight or your exoltement over meeting blm. I didn't Imagine my unklndness to you this morn ing. And there's one other thing didn't imagine your Jealousy over Lou-Lou." "Why mention why not Ig nore?" "That's the difference between us, darling. I can't Ignore yon can.

He took her head between bis hands, tilting her face. "You're not burl with me tor hav ing spoken?" "Cllve, I worship you." As he stooped her eyes closed. "You always dose them." Hours later, It seemed, sbe asked: "You couldn't fall for ber, could you?" "For whom?" His wits were clouded. "For Lou-Lou?" "What a question!" (Cerrrlthl IrJMW, Ct.titi 0,.i..)
