Lights, which would grow harsh In another hour or two, shrill from be ing backed by black, were now gen tle looking as if they bung behind layers ot moist, brown-gray chiffon. Motors, which were sumptuous In the light ot day, now became buge shooting things with flashing eyes, or, brilliantly lit (rames (rom which women In velvet oloaks, or soft fur wraps, looked Indolently out upon the passing throng. The buses, those lumbering ele phants of traffic, stopped at curbs, then, after a heavy Jerk or two, went ponderously on. People hurried. It was the going out and the getting home hour. And the faces ot most beld the look of happiness and expectation. The air. wblch was crisp, added to the feel ing, and so, to the picture. BOB absorbed It stupidly.

"No, of course not." "I'll avsde explanation for the presont. Then when tbe matter Is decided, our course ot action, 1 mean. I'll tell her the truth." Marsha said nothing; he glanced once Into her eyes. They hurt him anew: tbe hurt waa a pin prick In sumbed flesh. She was probably sorry to have knocked blm as aba must know she had, be decided. He heard her say "Bob" In a muted, frightened way that made her aeem a child. Yet again he low ered tbu paper. "Whore are we go log?" she asked. "I don't know. Would Murray Hall suit you? It's Quiet. Wo want to avoid seeing people we know, of course." Her chin raised, her face stif fened. "It will suit ma as well as anywhere," aha answered. CHE stared then from a misted window and upon a darkening world. In tholr many talks Bob bad told ber of how be. with his mother, had often atopped at that hotel while the bouse was being opened or closed, or refurbished and of how, there, there was a reassuring feel ing of solidity and of old New York and of yeara lived well. There was Irony In stopping there. But she realized that cruelty bad had no part In bis naming ot tbe place; that he waa Incapable of such cruelty. He had mentioned It because he knew It well; because the stricken, dulled, grasp blindly, the first suggestion that Is near to hand. Bob was conscious of a dull anger at himself as they rode up town. Ha should have thought ot where they would put up: It was awkward to head where thev headed. Yet what difference? Nothing could change, lighten or Intensify the situation. It had Ita bold, black, solid form. that be had Hungered tor, toi months, and that It didn't matter The hour was one which he, a trifle ashamed of his want tor borne and his love of It, had when an expatri ate remembered constantly. Small flashes of home had come upon blm at odd times, sometimes while he wrote reports and made his requirements to the New York oOlce, Then In the candle flame be would see a wavering picture, and through It feel the cold air. And that bad made the pull. The pull to get back; to feel It. smell It, love It. And be had come, and then Marsha; and be hadn't aeen .or felt anything else snd now Well, It waa almost over, and he would go back to bis work, carrying a new set ot thoughts he could not call them dreams and the crippling burden of disillusionment. . "We're almost there," he hoard, and answered with "Yea." "What were you smiling at?" aba ventured timidly. "I was thinking ot a chap I had on a amall Job near Cblbuahua; he used to spend his evenings waiting for those big spiders that come so thickly at some seasons, and when they ventured out. he used to pour candle grease on them wblch ha kept hot for the purpose In a saucer. They were nailed down In that way all over the floor. I almost broke my neck from skidding acrosa the place." "How ghastly!" "Oh, 1 don't know. It Is less ghast ly than soma ot the things men do when they sre alone too much and too far from home. "Yes I know, and appetites and dissipation one can understand. But that aort of thing " She hoped he would go on. It waa the first time ha had talked with ber; It made her swallow convul lively, and she bed to clasp ber bands In order to keep them where they belonged. fCetrrttl. 1H4. K.
