Chapter 29
A JEALOUS 8ANTA
NEXT morning wheo Cllve ten
dered her ble own lift, his
mood was bumble. Dicky had made
linfalr competition lor him.
"Yon ordered me not to ipend
too much. Von mayn't care tor If
As ibe lifted the rase trom lt
wrappings, her face glowed.
"You've disobeyed me, old ex
travagant. How yon spoil me!"
She was delighted aa a child.
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.
Slcky'a temptress."
He glanced through the Imme
diate audience.
"Where? I never sr.w her, so can't
Recognize her."
Someone behind hushed angrily.
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

"The human heart la a mystery,"
pie spoofed ber. "Who would imag
ine that you could have fallen tor
picky? To me she seems a decent
putouaa mue person.
"A poacher who breaks np homes

"Look here, this waa to have been
four birthday treat. We can scoot
IX you wish It."
Her face softened. '
"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.
"Hello darling! Here's Dicky.

waa thanking him for our wedding
present.
"Oood of you to remember my
ferife's birthday," be said shortly.
Luckily the announcers prevent
d further conversation by calling
the next act.
Aa they passed down the aisle
Banta bugged his arm.

"What a coincidence!"
The encounter seemed to have
put ber In a good bumor; the rest
ot the performance she enjoyed
thoroughly.
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."
"Don't you want to ber'
"Thla la your birthday. Anniver
saries are milestones. One baits to
look back and forwards. I've been
looking back, remembering bow 1
longed tor you and ti,e struggle J
had to win you."
"Well, you've won me." Bho
helped herself to cbeese and
crackers.
, "I haven't won you the way I'd
hoped."
"Darling," she threw him one ot
her melting glances, "you're mine.
To me you're perfect. 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. You forget; I go on remember
ing. I want you to be absolutely
mine In the same way yon try to
make me absolutely yours. The past
Intrude. It crops out all over the
map In things you say, your atti
tude to me. your character."
She beckoned and wouldn't speak
till he stood beside ber.
"Let's do bstter."
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!"
