A more expensive apartment, itiU better one, furniture, clothes, Can't path going stolidly onward, Marian's swooping up and away. He had tried to show Interest in her progress, but he had instinc tively recoiled from it. After the depression he had gradually worked back to his salary of $35 a week, and there he had re mained. After a while he hadnt called her Glad anymore. After a while she had not been particularly glad about anything. She was the best- dressed woman in the Loop, her friends were among the other well-dressed women in the Loop. She and Dan never quarreled any more. It took too much effort Nothing mattered enough to start a disagreement Dan had ap peared to accept their life, he was agreeable and pleasant And then, imperceptibly, a change had come over him. In his own words, he had Anally arrived at the place where he could take no more. Marian marveled, in her new perception, that he had taken so much. She had been no wife to him. Far better, in that first year, to have told him of her extrava gance and debts. Together they would have got out somehow. Was it too late to turn back? Was it too late to try? Sitting there in the miserable room which she had not taken the trouble to make livable, she faced about It would be hard going, but well worth the effort whether she ar rived or not A vague promise beckoned her en. Her back seemed to straighten. She raised her chin. Afraid? There was nothing to fear. Through her I own weakness the worst had hap pened. She would fight her way back, one step at a time. There was a larger apartment In the building. It had south win dows, sunny and nice for a baby. She'd sea about it in the morning. Her heart sent out tiny tendrils of gladness, she could almost feel them unfolding. She had found job worth doing, a Job which no on could take from her. No more sniveling and crying out at fate. She'd do the Job right so that Dan would be proud of her. mere waa much to be done, she could not change her faulty self over nignt sne a learn to be van's wire, the mother of his baby. Someday, when she had learned, she'd go to him and he wouia be proud. Maybe his love was not dead. Maybe, if she built up instead of tearing down, ha ougni love ner again. one went xo aieen aerenelv Upon waking, the first thing the saw was janie't battered doll and the smiled. She went to the office Witn a lightness to her tteo. softness in her eyes. It was well that ahe had spent Thanksgiving oay wun ine sands. It wat well that she was fortified. For Mr. Fellows asked her to come to his aesk. "Marian," he said kindly, "You've gone to pieces, d'you snow 117" gHE looked at him, smiling faintly. Gone to pieces?- She naa lound herself. "You've got those charts in fine tntpe. They are usable and vslu. able. Now I'm suggesting that you take a rest, say six months on pay - it wat the thing ahe had dreaded, but her smile did not cnange. She raised her head. "Before you finish, G. F., I want to tell you something and ask a lavor." Ml riKQl snoot." He hart a relieved expression, as if he had oeen prepared for anvthine. "I have gone to pieces in the last lew months and I want to give you the reasons, three of tnem. I think you'll admit that i ve nad cause." "Yes?" "In the first place it hasn't been pleasant to see Sally Blake fitting herself into my shoes. It hasn't Deen pleasant to lose your confi dence and regard." He started to speak and she raised her hand in a silencing gesture, a gesture which asked him to hear her out. "I have it coming to me and I tan take it," she went on quietly. "You and I did the same thing to A.ngie Doran yean ago. Do you remember?" "Yes. It't the way of the world, Marian." "The man's world," she cor rected him. "Women do not be long in this world. Nature has made a better place for them, in he home, keeping their husbands . happy, rearing children to be good citizens. A woman can't be sup planted in that Job." "You're right, Marian." '1 know, and you know, that if I accept thla leave of absence, 111 never come back to the office. Sally Blake knowt it, too.1 She poke without rancor. He dropped hit eyes. "I'm sorry, my dear. The business world is a Jungle survival of the fittest" "There are two other reasons why I have cracked up," the con tinued, taking a long breath. This wat the first time she had put the other two reasons into words, "My husband hat left me, G. F " "Dan left you?" Fellows' voice wat comforting. "I didn't know I m to sorry, Marlin." tlby.". Teara filled her eyet. Jje blinked, trying to smile. Her mouth was as it had been when ahe first came to work for Mr. Fellows, tremulous and tweet Jumping from hit chair, he leaned over her. "I can't believe it I don't know what to tay you poor girl." "Oh, no not poor I've never1 been to rich in my life. I've spent yean trying to stamp out every natural instinct. I'm through tamping out I'm free to be happy, to fight for happiness in stead of success. I can't fail this time. It's written in the stars that I shall win because I am a woman and because I am going to have a baby." Her burst of eloquence ended on a hushed, thrilled note. QENTLY, he put an arm around her shoulders and ahe leaned her head against him. "And the favor, Marian?" he asked huskily. "Ask me anything anything." "I want to stay as your secre tary until the first of February. Then I'll go and I'll never come back. I'll never' want to come back." "I want you to stay." he said. "We'll make it our best time to gether we'll work side by side Igain." "Oh, yes!" Her eyes shone through tears. "And when you go youH take t bonus from this office, a bonus tor very good behavior enough to see the little fellow safely into the world." "Thank you only the little fel low is to be a girl." "My mistake," he laughed. Then, sobering, "What then, Marian what then?" "Dan will take care of us. He tends a check every month. Dan Is fine and honorable. It will give me happiness to live on what he lends." "What does he think about tills? The young scamp. Why doesn't he send for you or come back?" "He doesn't know I don't want him to know." She looked down, her lips trembling. "I must make myself worthy of Dan. Then if he's generous enough to give me another chance." Mr. Fellows patted her shoul der. "Good girl," he said. "If I can help" She shook her head. "You helped me ruin my life, and Dan's, i to bits. I'll build it up alone." j (to na lonunueai Don't Arch That Brow FLAPPER FANNY, I Y n n r OUT OUR WAY BY J. R.
