She smiled as "You're ill! I shouldn't have bothered you." "Nonsense! Sit down. My ar thritis Is a little troublesome to day." She seated herself on the stiff sofa. "Will you have a 'cup of tea with me?" "Yes if you're going to have it anyway. I Just had a cocktail willi Phil Bruce." "Humph! Cocktail!" When the tea had been brought she asked sharply, "Do you like that young man?" "Very much." "I'd better warn you! He had the effrontery to tell me he in tends to marry you himself when Stephen divorces you. I let him know that there was to be no divorce!" Diana faltered, "You wouldn't want to keep us together If if we were unhappy." The old lady eyed her shrewdly. "You don't look unhappyl Is Ste phen unhappy?" "I I dont know." "You don't know! What has the world com to when a wife I doesn't know whether her hus- j band is happy or not Is there j going to be a child soon?" Diana felt her face flushing j hotly. She wished she had not come here today. It was becoming right" She stooped and kissed Out old lady's rounded cheek. "I'll b late for dinner If I dont hurry." Outside she breathed sigh ot relief. Without intention she had let Ellen Curt find out that all was not well with the marriage. "Well." she reflected, "she won't be so surprised when the break finally comes!" (To Be Continued) OUT OUR WAY By J. R. Williams OUR BOARDING HOUSE, with Major Hoopla More than three million men, women and children have died of tuberculosis in the United States during the last 30 years. Over two million more would have died during that time it the mortality rale, of 30 years ago had continued to prevail. The annual death toll from tuberculosis in the United States would be more than 250,000 if the death rate of the early 1900's still prevailed. Under present mortality conditions, the annual death toll Is about 60,000. With the naked hills, the nude trees and the bare limbs, it's no wonder the corn is shocked. she thought of aU that had hap- , hanier and harder lo parry the penea since, Anew it nau veva for the most part pleasant; re membered Stephen's glance upon her that night In the kitchen, lived again the thrill of being In his arms, of being a part ot his comforting gentleness, his cour age, fidelity, and honor. Then his quick release of her, his apology for having overstepped the bounds of their "bargain." Diana knew that If it had not been for Adela she would have been entirely contented in Ste phen's house. But Adela was a person around whom turmoil al ways surged. Her intrigue with Richard Thorps distressed Diana deeply, for she knew that they spent hours together. She had caught glimpses of them in many places, and knew that there was talk. 4TTELLO!

"Hello, yourseltl Bow nice to see you!" 1 He took her arm. "Let's go in and ,see what they've got Every afternoon at this time I experi ence the pangs of starvation! It's the Knelish in me, I guess. Couldn't you do with a little something?" I "Of course," she answered gay jly. "Any time!" i It was a charming place, softly 'lighted, and with a decidedly Bo hemian air of informality. The scarlet and chromium bar was j crowded at this cocktail hour, 'but Phil steered Diana back to 'the mora secluded tables. Phil, after his cocktail, ordered an enormous sandwich. ."But won't it spoil your din ner?" Diana asked. : : He snorted disdainfully. "Gosh, no! Lady, you are gazing on at man who not only-eats to live, but lives to eat!" " :"It's a wonder you're not eom- . pletely surrounded by fat," she said, noting however his lean, muscular figure. '"I would be, I suppose, if it were not for the religious cere monies I undergo every morning with dumb-bells and the like." iHe sighed. "Some day I'm going Ito settle down and turn into a inice old gentleman with bald ipate and a round tummy." : Diana laughed. "Add long white (Whiskers, and you could double for Santa Clsus!" Later she said curiously, "You promised to tell me something of lEvalyn Thorpe how she hap ipened to marry Richard." Phil's face sobered, took on the took of rapt adoration Evalyn's name always called forth. "To tell you the truth, I don't know iuite how it happened. We three j-i-Evalyn, Steve, and I grew up together were neighbors, you (know. Evalyn's parents still live i there in Green street a few houses below the Curts. There were win ter week-ends here in town from school parties, shows, lots of fun. 'Summers in camp. We never 'thought of Evalyn's handicap. She never let us. And we agreed at tan early age that one of us should Imarry her take care ot her al iways." His voice trailed off for a mo jment, remembering. "Then Steve land I went off to college we only isaw Evalyn during the holidays I and Richard Thorpe came to practice law in old man Durbln's jofflce. I guess he just swept her loft her feet We didn't like to jthink that Thorpe used Evalyn to insure his position in the com munity. We were relieved when jwe saw how considerate how Igenulnely fond he seemed of her." I Diana's fingers tightened on the Islender glass before her. What would Phil and Stephen do if they ;knew about Adda's affair with Thorpe? i ' iCHE decided suddenly to see El J len Curt She had not seen her .for several days and had an Idea :the old lady might be lonely, though she would die rather than admit it Dabhey smiled her wintry smile lid admitted Diana into the cozy living room. Presently Ellen came in, her small gray slippers tapping on the polished i floor. She carried an ebony , cans today and Diana thought her small round face looked strained with suffering. old woman's questions. "No." "And why not madam? Are you one of these modern cowards? I thought better of you! What kind of a marriage is this, any way?" Diana rose and set down her tea cup. "Please," she said, "I didnt come to carry tales.
