Chapter 4 THERE COMES THE END "OUT It may b a matter of eo ondi." Santa wrung her bands. "Hurry." CUre hook Us bead. "Your first husband's (re to go to hell how be likes. He's bogged two-thirds ot my marriage. He's getting a better deal than be de serves. I won't lift a linger." "But, Cilve, it's too awful. You wouldn't let me go alone?" She Im plored blm. "Neither alone, nor accompanied. You seem to forget that you're my wife." She raised an arm to cover her yea and burst Into sobbing. "You can't understand." Be longed to display tenderness; but he'd done that so consistently and he'd always lost the argument. Strolling to the window, he ad dressed her across bis shoulder. "I understand too well. You'd exhaust the patience ot a saint, Santa." "Cruel and revengeful." She Spoke brokenly. Her retreating footsteps. Then silence. In an effort to oontrol bis nerves, CUve stretched himself on the couch. This revival ot an old In tatuatlon could be no more than a pang of jealousy. That she should have fallen In love with that stuffed shirt for a second time was Incon ceivable. He roused. "That you, Santa?" Had his voice drowned the sound of the front-door closing or was that also imagined?' Dashing dcwn the passage he en tered the bedroom. With luck there was yet time to Intercept her at the , elevator. . Too late. She had descended. Returning to the apartment, be sat down, clenching his head be tween his hands. A year was her limit for any marriage. He sup posed there were girls like that. After all, he'd bad fair warning. "Probably she'll come back to me If I wait a year." He began to laugh. Suddenly he stopped, staring. "Not to me. I've been (bused enough." The furniture, which was hers, not bis, seemed to smirk at blm. "Curse you." He kicked a chair. "You won't have to put up With me much longer." In a frensy, he unearthed a edit Vase In the bedroom and began to pack. , "I'm leavlsg Santa. It ennt be true." i, On the bed lay the frock that she - had been wearing. Timidly, as one who had no right, he touched It It was still warm from her body. With' out thinking, he crushed It to his lips. Then scornful ot his sentiment, returned to his packing. Seating himself at her desk, he scrawled on a sheet of paper, "Denr Santa." How to progress? Dear Santa was exactly what she was to taint. Never as long as the world lasted could she be less. Tomor row would dawn and tomorrow: his hunger for her would be unabatod. Ho might glance at other women but he would duck at the final mo ment, as Dicky was ducking. In heaven's name. It this was how he felt, why hadn't he said It to her? He'd turned his back on hor and left her sobbing. He'd driven her Into Dicky's arms, If that was where he was at present. ' ' He gnawed his pen. But was she? Was it too late? Legally she was his wife. Crushing the sheet of paper on which he had written noth ing but the Inarticulate two words, "Dear Santa," be rushed from the dlsordtred bedroom and soiled his bat. She could make her own terms bo would resign hts will In every thing. In the East Seventies before a palatial apartment-bouse, the taxi halted. Having stated at the office that he was expected, ("Ought to oo, if I'm not"), be was shot np In an elevator and directed. To his relief the door was opened by Santa. NEW YORK, Dee. 14.

He clasped ber to him. "I was so afraid." "So was L" She cuddled. "But who's been frightening your "Nothing. I've been sitting here alone." "How alone? What I mean Is, 11 there was no one to admit you " 'He'd dismissed his servants and left the key to be given to a lady wbo was to call on him." "Looks as though he'd played a practical Joke. Ah!" He had an In spiration. "On Lou-Lou." Santa stared. 'Why Lou-Lou?" "What more natural? This Is the day when they're to be mar ried." "Is It true? Who told you?" "Lou-Lou herself." They wandered Into a large, lux uriously furnished room. "But why should she notify yoa?" Santa continued. "Too long a story." He shrugged his shoulders. "To be brief, she knew that It he were married again, I'd feel that I was really married." A telephone In another room was ringing persistently, scoldlngly. "What do you say?" Cllve rose. "You and I seem to be the wedding reception committee. Guess I'd bet ter answer It?" He came back. "Couldn't. The door's locked." . Bhe drew herself to blm, white lipped and trembling. "What's wrong with you?" He caught ber terror. "It's the second time I've seen you like this today." "Something he said. Cllve, when he railed me up. The thing he said that brought me here. Behind your back, Cllve, he's been threatening me. I've boon ashamed. I've tried so hard. I couldn't, couldn't got rid of hlra." "Well, you're rid of him now, darling." He kissed her tears. "Let's get out." They had stepped into the pas sage, when the elevator halted and they found themselves confronted by a stocky, grey-haired man who questioned them without prelimi naries. "Any trouble In Mr. Dak's apart ment?" "Only that ho'a not there," Cllve repllod shortly. "I'm the house-detective," the man announced. "You're the last folks to visit hlra. Better come back with me." Inside the apartment he explained his request. "There's a lady on the wlro who says she's waiting to marry him been ringing him for the past half hour. He himself used the telephone not two hours ago since then no. body's seen him." "I can assure you we haven't,". Cllve volunteored. "The only pe culiar thing I've noticed Is that one ot the doors Is locked." "Which one?" The house-detective produced a set of pass-keys. Sprawled across the desk lay Dicky, a revolver on the floor whero It had dropped from his hand. A .cry burst from Santa. . "It's what he threatened." Reverently Cllve approached. Dicky and himself again had changed places. An hour ago, when he had belloved himself forsaken, he, too, had been capable of this despairing follfy Peering over Dicky's shoulder, he saw a scrib bled sheet. It was the letter he himself had tried to write. "It's sddresBed to you, Santa." He spoke without turning. "It begins the way I bagan one to you recently: 'Denr Santa.' That was as far as I could get. His goes on: 'Time to be honest. I have no one to blame but myself. Life lavished chances; I misused every one ot them. Life gave me you; the only use I could make ot your love was to kill It We men are all fools. When we're all the world to any woman, we usu ally despise her. See how I'm treat ing Lou-Lou. "'But we're talking about you the blithest It I stayed, I could never cease following you. Marry ing Lou-Lou wouldn't cure me. I pray to Cod CUve wlH appreciate you. Think ot me aa I ought to have been. In removing myself I'm prov ing the love I bear you. There are men so weak that they perform their greatest kindness by dying.' " The tolephone started ringing. The honse-dotectlve throttled it "Yes, mam. I get you. You're his fiancee. 8orry, he can't. No, mam he don't live here any longer." (Cetrritll itSt-Wt, Cmieiie, Dmtm) ThTEnd.
