telenet CUve, her husband, had
done more than merelu throw
Dicky out of their apartment the

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."

S-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John
R. c. Maiter, socially prominent sub
urbanites, waa sleeptng.

Attempt number one. She must
try again later.
Orer dinner she tackled Urn from
a new angle.
"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

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. How was she to handle
Dicky If he again approached her?

So Inga rushed around and found
acorns for cups and filled them with
dew. Then she made some nut cake
and Plnocchlo found some sweet ber
ries hanging on a vine.
They built a warm fire In their
fire-place and were Just as merry as
though nothing bad happened.
When dinner waa over, Inga took
oat the mirror again and spoke to It.
"Where will I find the wltcb that
put her spell on me?"
"Go East by East,
Where neither man nor beast

Unless the moon la bright."
Several times the little mirror

waa all rocks. The path stopped at
the door of a cava where big bate

"Why that'a the little path that
runs right out from our door, said
Inga.
"And It looka llk a long, long
walk." said Plnocchlo. "We'll atart
with the sun In the morning. Wrap
up your little mirror and well take
It along.'
The next morning the two dolls
were up and ready when the sun sent
It first stream of light through the
trees to their doorway. Ing wrap
ped the pretty mirror up and then
the two started out.
As they went along, they met a
little squirrel walking through the
woods with a basket of nuts.
"Where are you off to today?"
the squirrel asked.
"We're going where neither man
nor beast will spend the night unless
the moon is bright."
"Oh, you foolish dolls, said the
squirrel. "One of our bravest squir
rels went there once to bring back
the basket that Is never empty. But
he never returned. Tou bad better go
home.
"No, we are seeking a wltcb there,
and when we find her we will burn
her," said Plnocchlo.
"Yes, I know the one you mean,"
said the squirrel. "Every so often
she comes down and turns all the
nuts bitter. Good luck to you.
