Henry, left alone, (at down at the piano. He ran bis fingers up and down the keyboard a couple of times, and then he began to play over the setting of one of JUS auiiKa. He played softly, slowly his thoughts going southward, cross ing the Mason and Dixon Line, comine to rest beside a slowly flowing river. Willow branches caressmc the surface of the water. . . .

"Call It what vou like." said Marie. She dropped Into a low chair. "All I know is that I've never been so mad and upset in all my life. k Henry sat down facing her, Aneer became her. he thought. So did the deep red material of which her lounging pajamas were made. The color made her eyes seem even darker, brought out the rich auburn tints of her thick hair, auburn tints that weren't al wavs visible. "I'm pretty well upset myself," be said presently.

"I didn't get the radio job, and Uiellas gone. "Gone? . . . Where?" "Back home. She's left me." "Well, for heaven's sake!" "I'm a grass-widower," Henry said. He was glad that he could sound sort of flippant. "She's left me flat in a flat ' He grinned, "Not bid. eh?" "Henry, will you stop trying to be runny, said Marie, "ana teu me lust what happened?" "All I know is that she walked out on me." said Henry. "I found a note when I got back from Chi cago this morning." He shook his head alowlv. "Little Luella couldn't take the bitter with the better, after all. Or maybe she thought there was too much of the bitter." "You mean she she found out that I was in Chicago also?" "Yep." "Who told her?" "Tommy Mclntyre." said Henry. Then, as he saw Marie growing anerv. he said: "Wait a minute. Marie. He didn't tell her inten tionally." Henry explained how it happened, and added: "So, there you arel There's our little Infernal triangle in a nut-shell." He grinned apaln. "Mixing my metanhors perhaps, but let it pass.

"Yes not being here to get the radio job, ana letting "Listen. Marie, my Job In Chi cago meant livelihood. Henry cut in. "I couldn't leave things there unfinished and rush back here to lee about an uncertainty. "It wouldn't have been an un certainty, if you'd shown more spunk!"

"Oksy." said Henry. "We're both on edge. Believe it or not. Mane, its something of a shock to come home and discover that your wife s dcoarted. "Yes. I understand. Henry, dear," Marie said, now calmer. i ou poor dear bovl "Add to that the nrcewity of facing a situation that's darn se rious, Henry said. "Getting the business with Luella ail straight ened out." "You mean you're going to beg her to come back to you?" No, I don't mean that at all." "Then what do you mean?" Marie demanded. "After all, you ao owe me some consiacrauun. Even if I am the 'other woman,' I tried to help you encourage you " Yea. I know. Marie." Henry said softly. "You've been swell." He leaned forward, touched Ma- rie s hand. "Does my losing me radio job change things between us?" "In a way, yes," said Marie. "You know ms well as I da Henry. how many things we planned to do. And now "What's to prevent our going on with those plans?" Henry in terrupted. "If you were my wife and 1 went on with the realty company, we could do the other things also." "We couldn't You'd alwsys be letting the other Job interfere." Marie got up. one moved aooui the room. "Your interests would be divided. We would never be able to work harmoniously to- g ether you in the real estate usiness, and me on the air." Henry watched the girl for I moment In other words,' he said, "you don't love me enough to become my wue, and let me be myself?" "What do you mean, "be your self?" "I mean, couldn't you love me, marry me and let me go on with the work I seem to be cut out for?" Henry asked. "You have been trying to make a radio writer out of a real estate man. you know. Maybe it justwasn't imenaea 10 ud mnt way. . "You aren't blaming me for It, re vou?" Marie wanted to know. stopping to look down Into Hen ry's face. "I thought you'd bt grateful. "I am" Henry said. "In a way . . . and yet " Ho hesitated a moment, straightened out his thoughts, and went on. "Suppose I decided to ditch New York, and ask for my old ,job down home, would you be willing to go back there with me?" "Good heavens, what a ques tion!" Marie cried. She caught herself, laid her hand on Henry's head, rumpled his hair. "Yours sweet Henry, terribly sweet . . . I adore you, really I do, but I'm still tied up with radio. ... I couldn't possibly throw all that into discard." "No? . , . And yet you were perfectly willing for me tu throw my job into discard." That's different" "In what way?" "I'm getting established," said Marie. "You are just sort of of" 'Drifting?" "Oh. no. Henry, not thatl" Marie stepped back, made a ges ture with her two nanas. -uen not discuss it any more tonight . . . We'll work it out somehow, darling . . ." She searched Henry'i face for a sign of encouragement. "Won't we?" The Kiss "I HOPE so," said Henry. He gol up, walked over to where he had placed his coat and hat "Things usually adjust them selvesfinally. No matter how in volved they seem to be." He held out his hand." Good night, Marie I'm sorry for all the disappoint ment I've caused you." "Henry dear!" Marie took the outstretched hand. She pulled Henry toward her, lilted her race. zou may kiss me, nenry jui to show that we are still friends." Henry looked at the umurnea face, the inviting lips. Then he caught Marie to him almost sav "You're a menace!" he said trying to sound very, very world ly. "But a n beautiful one.' He kissed Marie's lovely mouth Then he pushed her away from him. grahbed up nis coat ana nsi, and hurried from the room. He was shaken bv a deluge of emo tions . . . Marie . . .

"No. thanks," Henry replied. "Nice night. . . . Think I'll walk." "Yes, sir. Henry strode off uptown. Ha walked faster and faster, as though by so doing he could escape his thoughts. But Henry had nothing on Tom my Mclntyre. For up in his room Tommy was also trying to get away from the thinking that had made chaos of his brain. He too was thinking about Marie . . , about Luella . . . about jobs . . . work. He was also thinking about how utterly sick of New York he was. He was sick of radio also. Sick of just about everything. He wanted to get away, go some place where he could no a lot of relax ing, think matters over more calmly. He wanted to He stopped short in his pacing. Florida! Of course! . . . Why not? . . . Florida was just the place to go. He was due a vacation, lie had been postponing it, but why do so any longer? Why not ask to have the vacation granted at once? Why not pack his things, and hie himself southward? Flor ida. . . . Sunshine that would be more than welcome, now that the feel of winter was in the air. Sandy beaches . . . swimming in blue-green water . . . waving palms , . , cloudless blue skies. And he caught his breath at this thought and seeing Luella. Yes. seeing Luella. That was something.
