A PATH WARADISEI srHOPaig: With m mdotn. malts gesture, Santa's former hut ' band Vicky kidnaps her, and holding her by force in a taxi, al tempte to make love to her. fiaitta telenet CUve, her husband, had done more than merelu throw Dicky out of their apartment the night before, when hie presence had become too obnoxious. But now Santa must escape and she doesn't Quite know how to do it. Chapter 46 ANTA'S NEW PROBLEM ' "TyCKY, durlhg, do look where we arer' She hurled herelf against him. "DarllngI That lonndi more fond." He turned to follow her pointing. "The Bronx Zoo. What el It?" T4 adore to Ttolt Jt Never naro." Catching the spirit of her excite ment, be tapped on the pane. Jump ing out, he settled the fare, then helped her to alight As they walked toward the entrance, he tacked her arm through hli posses sively. "I mutt hand It to you, Santa when your little tblnk-box worka, It works quickly." Close to the gatee, she felt safe to reveal her mind. "Beat It. 8hake a leg," . "I'm sot your wife. When I was, you were as crooked as a dog's hind leg. You still are." Withdrawing her arm swiftly, she darted from him. Roallzlng thut he , was following, she sought refuge with a trafflo cop. "Don't arrest him. We were once trlenda. Only tell htm to atop an noying me." The trafflo cop, suddenly pro moted to knight-errant, viewed Dicky's pearl-grey spats and shiny cane with Infinite disgust ' ''Beat it Shake a leg." Dicky raised his hat to his former Jrlfe. "So long, darling. I'll visit the monkey-house. Studying its In mates may teach me something mora about you." . "Ill run him In, It yon gay to," the officer suggested. Tears of gratitude flooded r yea. "I can't let yon. There are rea sons." "The big hunk of cbeesel" Her protector ecowled after the leisurely retreating figure. His gaze returned to her. "Yon shouldn't look so sweet, girlie. It Isn't all his fault" Santa's problem, as she Journeyed homeward, was now much she could tell Give without prejudicing herself.- She planned an expurgated edition of her Impromptu kidnap ping. At the very atart she was jtumped. The truth was too In credible that she had stepped Into the one taxi In New York In which the man whom she ought to avoid waa aeated. Arrived back at the apartment he strove to compose herself and waa still undecided as to how much to divulge, when she heard the door opening and recognised her hui band'a footstep. "Hello, darling!" he greeted her from the hall; then entered gallant and boyish. "You're looking tlrod, little wife." She leaned back her head for him to kiss her. "I've been to the Zoo of all places." "You're nothing hut a kid." He pinched her cheek. "I'll run away and dress."

"Last night you said something true that we'd come to the cross roads." "But I took It all back," he gated Into his plate. 'I know you did. But rre bees thinking; our coming to the cross road was all my doing. I've made en Idiot of myself over Dicky. There are people so rotten, like clothes and leaky boats, that you can't patch them." "No one can be wlae for another person." He looked np. "I tried to be wise for you; you tried to be wise for Dicky." "I'm the one who's bungled," she thrust In eagerly. "You've been perfect." ' "No compliments," he checked her. "Crossroads, where you and are concerned, are fantastic. Most of this Dicky business was an Inci dent which we exaggerated. All the same " He paused. "Am I dis tressing you?" 8he mustered a smile, "Not a bit" "Very well, then. I consider thai your conduct's been line." She blinked and gasped. "How do you make that out?" "Dicky once stood In the same re the officer commanded. latlon to you that I do. It would have been easy tor you to have wiped him from the slate. You were too loyal." 'But CUve," she protested to pre vent him from heaplug more coals of Are, "I don't think I have been loyal. Through sheer cussedness I've let you down." He laughed. Suddenly his face went grave. If you could have read the black ness of my Jealousy! I've worked myself Into panics. I've Imagined treacheries. He's gone forever now, little Santa; that'a wby I can tell you." Was he asserting that Dicky had gone forever In order to force her to confirm It? 'I visited the Zoo today," ihe fal tered. 'So you've mentioned." Rising he came behind her. "Santa, for give me my suspicions. I love you. Your first marriage was a blessing In disguise; It's taught me to trust you. "Always trust me," she reached up, "even though the proof should be against me." Later, orer coffee, when he ques tioned her about her day, she turned him aside. "It's so long since we were free from an Intruder. Let's talk about that house In the country." "I'd love a house In the country," CUve took her nr seriously, "but for the moment It's Impossible." "I'll pay halt for the henee," aha volunteered. "That's dear of yon. But Td much prefer that we start by replac ing every stick of furniture, bit by bit that dates from your first mar riage." "As yon like." Her face was crest fallen. In bed she tried a last time. "About my visit to the Zoo " CUve enored peacefully. The pre tence that he and aha were begin ning on a new plane of sincerity was Intolerable. It he were to find out! She lay awake specnlstlng and scheming.
