Like a beleaguered city, she watch ed for CUve'a return. Never had he seemed so precious. On the second day she ventured out, but took her maid with her. The third day ehe went out unao eompanJed. Gradually her alarm subsided. The fourth day she had a fitting at Bloomhoff's, that extraordinary Institution where grand duchesses and bootleggers' wives elbowed each other In their anxiety to be served by the redoubtable Bloom hofl himself. As Bloomhott left her he raised the curtain to return to the show room and the endless pa rade of manikins In evening-gowns, negligees, pyjamas. On a couch be tween herself and the elevator, bar ring escape, sat Dicky. He smiled like the wolf In Little Red Riding flood. "Sorry to disappoint you." Touching her arm affectionately, he conducted her to the elevator. The clients of Bloomboff doubtless imagined that they were witnessing love's young dream. In Fifth Atcs3 she shook her self free. "What's your garnet" "I can't live without you." "But how did you know that I would be at Bloomhoff's? ' ' "Rang up and discovered." They walked a block. She broke the silence. "What da you imagine yon gain by persecuting me?" . "That you'll fall for my charm." fUnw do you mean fall?" you'll remarry me." She tootrer time In answering. "Dicky, please believe me. The only flowers you'll ever receive from me will bs In a wreath at your n peral." "I'll rise from mjr grave," he re- srponaeu Jigmiy. , "But what do yon want?" : "That you'll lunch with me." ' To lnnch with him where they eould be seen only by a few people seemed preferable to courting the publicity of the streets. He selected high-class speak-easy In the East Fifties. Seated elbow to elbow on a red plush couch, a table pinning them to the wall, she tackled him, "Insult me all you like. You'll never get another chance." "If we quarrel, we shall sttraot attention. That was .why I brought you. Aot as though we were a pair of pals, like any of these other cou pies. Take a peop In that mirror op posite, we oon t ' look so mon itrous." "I look like a young niece on a spree with her hard-Lolled uncle." "That's more In your old style. Tou've always laughed at my ex pense. Lord, what will I do It the day sver dawns when I'm forbidden to hear y.-u laugh?" A pair of eocktatls had been placed Before them. She had in. tended to refuse hers. Changing her mind, she toasted him. "Herr j to onr parting." 1 "May .t be a false alarm," he salted.. "ItlanX Don't Ud yourself." , His face collapsed like a child's. "I'd commit suicide It I believed lyou were through with me." ' "But Dicky, that's not news to you. I've been through with you tor iages." "May be. Tou haven't aeted like " He called for another cocktail She prayed that he might call for twenty. Meanwhile she argued. , "May I apeak frankly for your own good?" he qnectloned. "Can you be more rude than you have been?" she challenged. He defeated her by laughing In his most winning manner. "Lord bless met It's like old days is Chicago to alt here fighting." "You were about to harangue me lor my own good," she Jogged him. "Don't know that I dare. If I of fend you, you'll scoot" "Soup's too nice." she mumbled.

The choice between Cllye and myself has been re-opened." By whom?" She helped herself to butter. 'By you when you left your sanc tified sheep, meaning Cllve, In the wilderness to come in searcn 01 tms little lost lamb. Dig down to fun damentals. The trouble with our marriage was money." "The trouble with our marriage." she corrected swiftly, "was that you lured an Innocent girl to share your pig-sty of a past and sparred with her because she refused to sink to your level." "If I'd possessed money, you'd have stuck with me," he Insisted. "I might have." She glanced around the room. "Your willingness to sponge on ma didn't Increase my respect for you." "There's no more danger of my sponging on you-" His chest swelled a trifle. "I'm a rich man." "Not by your own efforts." (Golly, he's pathetic, she thought.) "Does It matter by whose effort?" he urged. "But we were speaking about Cllve. Your only chance of holding him Is to present him with squalling, babies," . She turned. "And It I were to kick Olive to the devil, you'd give me romance?" she suggested. "Let's." He pitched her arm. "Eat your asparagus," she squelched him. He put down, his wine glass, empty. "You have yet to persuade me that my attentions are unwelcome. As to what you have said about the life, we led, that's granted. But since then you've revealed qualities which you kept hidden while we were man and wife. I've seen you tender, considerate, patient. There's no woman can dra g the best out of me the way you can, Santa." "The other day you called me a faker." f , "You are, but not consciously," he pleaded. "You don't appreciate the maddening effect I of your sympa thy." He refilled Hi glass. "Come across. If I've discovered new qual ities In you, haven't yon discovered in me more attractive qualities than you'd suspeoted?" '. His expression vas tense. "All I've discovered, Dicky, are the self-pity and evasions of a small, bad boy." i ' Her answer whipped him Into pride. i "Heavens, how y on women can Its. During the past months you've devoted more of your waking hours to me than to the man who figures as your husband." She felt that she, had mastered the situation. "Misplaoed klndneis." He upset her with: a question. 1 "Have you told lilm about out tail-ride?" . ' Lunch was ended.

You didn't want to distress yoursnlf. You didn't trust him enough to l)il him." In a flash she was on her feet and had placed the table hptween them. "I trust him absolutely." He made no attemplt to delay her. Refilling his glass, Ira looked up casually. "You're mine. You "idaren't toll Olive that we're still meeting. I shall wear you down." , She stamped her foot. He raised his klass. . "Here's to our reunion." Having reached the, door, she hesitated and came bac k. "I've endured you; now I loathe you." He spoke without raising his eyes. "You 11 need ma. Hatred Is akin to love." f ' As Santa scurried thilough ohlll February streets, she tel I little and threatened. She pieced, together the word-portrait which Dicky had presented her of herself, tltve wasn't like that at all she protuslted; yet all her conduct fitted perfectly to construct such a portrait.

A woods fairy changee them Into red foxea to help them In the search. CHAPTER Vn. THE BEWITCHED POOLS. The trip became much easier for Inga and Plnocchlo after they had been changed Into red foxea. They loped along rapidly. But all the while Inga wouldn't let go of the tiny gold mirror. She carried it now In her teeth. At first they raced as fast as they could go, up and down hills and across fields In Just the path the little mirror had shown. But the farther they went the thirstier they become. And they never saw a river or a lake or even a little pond. Finally Plnocchlo stopped. "Inga, I'm so thirsty I can't go any farther," he said. And just then they saw a little pool of water. Plnocchlo rushed up to It but Just as he touched the water with his red tongue a little voice said: 'Who drinks of me Will henceforth be A prisoner here Tor many a year." "Stop, stop,' cried Inga. "That's a bewitched pool. Come, we'll go on. Surely there will be another pool soon." And She'. Tommy', Advice km, I SHt ISN'T SERIOUSLV INJURED ,X THANK VO'J'.

Suddenly they saw another little pool of water, lying blue and cool looking among the trees. They rushed up to It but again, as Plnocchlo stooped to drink, a little voice Md: "Who drinks of me Will hf nee forth be A prisoner here Por many a year." "Stop, atop. Plnocchlo, Inga cried. "This pool, too. Is bewitched.' "Inga, I cant watt any longer. I must drink.' "But If you do I will be left all alone to go on to the cave of the bats.' "That's true," said Plnocchlo. "I'll wait one more time." So they went on, this .time slower than ever. Again they spotted another pool, and raced up to it, but again a little voice si-ai'ted to give the same warn ing. Just as Plnocchlo was going to drink, the little Fairy of the Woods rose up before them out of the grouna. "Oh, I was so afraid I wouldn't get here In time." she said. "These pools are placed along here by the witch you are seeking Just so she can stop people from coming to her'cave. I have brought you water," and she pulled a tiny flask from her pocket. The Fairy pulled out the cork and spilled the water on the ground, and as she did the water spread and spread Only Alibi A Lot Of Trouble until there was a little clear pool for Plnocchlo and Inga. They drank and drank. When they were finished, the Fairy dipped her little bottle in the pool and filled it again. "Here la water for you, she said. Inga and Plnoochio, changed now into red foxes, loped along rapidly up the trail to the cave of the witch. "Whenever you grow thirsty do as I did, and you will have enough to drink." "Oh, how can we ever thank you?" cried Inga. "What would have hap pened If we had taken some of the other water?"

Rcwell of Berkeley, Oat, baa a method of computing the total penalty for doubled not vul nerable undertrlcks at contract, which he thinks la easier than one now In wide use. He starts with the figure one and keeps adding successive digits until he reaches the number of tricks set, then repeats the last figure, multiplying the total by 50. For instance, down five: One plus two plus three plus four plus five plus five (repeated) equals 30, which multiplied by SO equals 1,000, the penalty for five down doubled not vulnerable. Possibly -some players will find that method easier than beginning with two and stopping with a fig ure one higher than the number of tricks set, as for a set of five: Two plus three plus four plus five plus six; multiplied -by 80 equals 1,000. Instead of multiplying the total by 60 In either case one can di vide by two and add one cipher or two ciphers, as the case may be. rocks, and stayed here until the witch died," said the Fairy.
