, Rod bant bil bsad far bpk
. cad LIU drew away with a little
lauxh. "W esn forget everything;
thsl's bspnaned," ibe (aid eottly,
r'"and Just Uke our bapplneti In
. oar own war. Hold me la your
arme Rod, please. We're a right
, to each other."
Rod Jerked himselt tree ot ber
embrace and took a atep back-
. ward. He came up sharply against
the frill railing. "Llla. you're
craiy." he eald. "How could there
r be any bapplneee for ua to-
r gather?"
Llla looked at htm with a
' touch ot acorn. "Muit I literally
throw myaelf at your feet?" ahe
; taunted him.
"But there'e Cy . . . and Ber
tie Lou." Rod reminded ber with
. great almpllclty..
"What do they count!" Llla
flared. "Cy ought to know what
' an old man geta when he mar
rlee a young girl And Bertie Lou
doesn't care a anap ot ber tin-
, gera tor yout"
"Eves ao, we're married to
them," Rod replied, a trifle wear
'. Hy.
Llla drew In ber breath and
' preued closer to htm. "What ot
thatt" she asked. '"Marriage
, needn't keep ns from being hap
, py, need ltt Oh Rod, don't aae
' Title m tor two people who
don't know what It means to be
In lore!"
"Are yoa going to leare Cy?"
Rod asked ber. "I couldn't let
, you do It for me Llla. I Just
couldn't, that'a all. Cy'a my
' friend."
Llla ran a smooth finger along
his cheek and curled It over his
ear. "I don't Intend to break bis
heart, Rod." ahe aaid. "but he's
' going on a trip next week ..."
"My God, Llla haTen't you any
' decency!" Rod cried, breaking
entirely free of her clinging arms.
His words were like a lash across
Llla's face.
"I didn't know yoa wars
squeamish." ahe fired at him.
Ton ought to dlrorca Bertie Lou
If yoa think so much ot decency."
Rod moved toward the door
without ' answering her but she
was before him like a darting
' flam and stood with her back
against the door handle.
"So that got yoa, did it?" she
mocked him. "It Isn't so pleasant
to bear a troth like that, la It?
All right to talk to me about de
cency, but how about a man who
permits his wife , to fall tor an
other man and makes no effort
to prevent It?"
' ' Rod fairly trembled with out
raged feelings as he stood before
her and listened to her scathing
denunciation.
"Tou'r led me Uto this," ahe
went on. "Everyone knowa yoa
- don't ear what Bertie Lou does.
Well.; why shouldn't yon ear . . .
nnlesa yoa wanted to be free to
do th same? You're a big fraud
with your talk of decency. I'd
like to know how yoa get that
wayl"
Rod tried to brash past her.
"Oh, ao," ah stopped him, "you
will hear th rest of It, Mr.
Good. Too told me yourself that
Bertl Lou's gon out to Marco
Palmer place," aha laughed
shrilly. "A house party! Are
yon kidding m or yourself?
Decency, ha, ha. I'm not good
enough to get on with yon, but

longs to Marco Palmer, Is good
enough to be married to . . ."
"More, or I'll make you." Rod
ordered In a TOlc that Tlbrated
with suppressed fury. Llla threw
her bead back and closed ber
eyes. "You'll hare to make me."
she dared. The next Instant ahe
waa rudely and yery forcibly
thrust aside.
When ahe righted herself Rod
was gone.
But his destination was given
no thought la the blind terror
thst possessed him. Llla'a words
seared like read hot Irons Into bis
consciousness. Oh how damnably
sure she bed been! Bertie Lou
and Marco Palmer! Fool, fool,
tool! Could he aee? It wasn't
true !God, It wasn't true!
e e
- He found himself at home. Not
one step ot the way be had tra
versed remained In his memory.
He might hare walked miles or
blocks; he couldn't hare told
which had he not known the
distance.
Tha apartment waa unbearable.
He went Into Bertl Lou's room.
That waa the worst place ot all,
with a breaker ot faded rosea on
th dresser.
. Two hours later Rod waa driv
en out ot the place by bis mental
torture. Where had he left his
hat?
Ha started without It, but saw
it la the ball and put it on.
When he reached the street he
hailed a taxlcah. Strangely, the
driver knew where the Palmer
estate was. "Get me there, and
don't let anything stop you," Rod
ordered recklessly.
"It's some ride, brother," the
man returned. He had his doubts
ot this wild-eyed fare and he had
no relish for a long country drive
with no pay at the end of It A
tight, maybe.
"Get there." Rod flashed back.
"It's 10 bucks In advance."
Rod dug out the money, hand
ed it to the driver and climbed
Into th cab.
He drove that car with every
nerv la his body, straining tor
ward for mora speed, now and
then speaking to th man at the
wheel, urging him to "give It a
little gas, man, can't you?" .
"Say, what la this, a rare with
tha atork?" the driver barked at
him tha third time he asked for
speed. "I can't afford a ticket,
Bo; I've bad tha limit."
Rod settled back to endure the
rest of the ride in silence.
It was daybreak when the driv
er turned off the state highway
and took the road tq the Palmer
country horn far out on the
south shore ot Long Island. The
house, set a quarter of a mile
back on the blue stone driveway,
appeared dignified and peaceful
In the early morning light.

I'd get my sticks back from blm anyway. He'll think that
tered, but a few on th second
floor showed drawn blinds. There
was a wooden door, used to close
the house during the family's so
journ In tha south or abroad,
leaning against an outside wall.
Rod understood. Marco waa us
ing tha house In his parents' ab
sence.
11 Instructed th taxi driver
to wait for blm, and walked up
to the door to ring. As he reach
ed forth his hand be aaw with
surprise that the door waa aot on
the latch. It awung open a few
Inchea and Rod obeyed an Im
pulse to enter without ringing.
Inside a atranga eight met his
eyes. The furniture of th hall
waa still shrouded In linen cov
ers and the floor waa bar. Top
coata and hata were thrown over
chairs and on standi. Indicating
that Marco had not brought a
butler out with him. But those
carelessly-placed coata and hata
were a welcome alght to Rod.
It waa a house party A flood
ot relief that soothed him like
cool water on a parched tongue
swept over him. He strode on
into the living room, oblivious ot
trespassing; not caring, had It
occurred to him.
The living room presented a de
plorable sight. Th air reeked ot
stale tobacco smoke, and count
less ash trays, tilled with clgaret
ends were everywhere. Trays with
teltale glasses, green and brown
pinch bottles, with an array of
smaller bottles about them like
chlcka huddling around a equal
hen, decorated the room lavishly.
Rod saw a piano with a torn
record trailing out ot It like a
gigantic ticker tape. The floor
waa marked by dancing feet and
some ot the covered furniture wss
heaped in pilea, or overturned.
A few chairs and a davenport
near the fireplace had been un
covered. On one chair, pinned to
the back, waa a corsage of or
chids.
Rod turned grim at th sight
ot It. Bertie Lou and orchids.
Did she get so many that ahe
cared little for them? But who
would think of flowers at a
party auch as this must hava
been?
e
Rod struggled bard against tha
memory or Llla's words. Had it
been his fault that Bertie Lou
was receiving orchids? Could he
have stopped it 'it he'd tried? But
they'd agreed to remember their
marriage vows untl they wanted
them broken legally.

For halt a moment Rod be
lteved in Bertl Lou without
doubt. Then ha thought ot Llla
of her trickery and falthlraa
ness. Women were devils! Badl
A man waa a fool to trust one
ot them! Rod would know aoon.
He'd find Bertie Lou somewhere
la this warren ot aleeplng revel
era and wring th truth from
hert
He look th stairs two at a
time, hla feet making but little
sound on the thick paper that waa
laid over the allenclng rubber
pads. When he reached th sec
ond floor landing, a broad, spa
clous central hall In reality, he
paused to look about him.
There waa three corridor lead
ing to tha aleeplng rooms. ' Rod
could aee down tha on on bl
right without moving. Ha took a
step la that direction when a
man'a voice down tha corridor
that led to the rooms in the back
wing attracted hla attention. He
heard an lndlstingutahabl tern
Intne murmur In reply.
He turned to th left and when
he cam abreast ot the middle
corridor h waa lust In time to
lee a young man atep from a
room and hear him say, with a
teasing lsugh: "I won't be long,
Mrs. Marco Palmer ot tha fu
ture,"
So this was th man whom Llla
linked with Bertie Lou!
Rod noticed that ha vas wear
ing a silken dressing gown and
bedroom slippers, Not a bad look
ing boy.
But what sort was ha to pull a
thing like this under his moth-
era root, even it ha waa going to
marry the girl?
Rod'a llpa curled In contempt,
but ha went on. Intending to
make Marco tell htm where be

down the corridor he stopped. A
msld bad appeared from aome
backstairs, bearing a breakfast
tray In ber arms. - II could In

a vole directing th girl where

Th vole was Bertl Lou's.
