CHAPTER XXXIX “What can be wrong?" Mary Faith asked herself a hundred times a day. “What have I done, or left undone?" And she knew that it was nothing she had done or had not done that was responsible for Kim's behavior. She knew that he was bored and out of love with her once more, just as he had been before. Well, he had always come back to her, hadn’t he? “What’s the matter with him? He ' acts as if this place was a boarding house,” his mother remarked frequently. "1 declare, he runs around almost as much now as he did before he was married.” And so things went until the fifteenth of March. Mary E'aith was always to remember that day because of the threethings that happened on it. Thß baby made a whole sentence that day, “I see birdie.” Mrs. Farrell announced that she was going to be married to Dr. Thatcher the next morning. And Kim broke the news that he intended to leave his wife. The day started out beautifully, with sunshine and blue sky and everything going on in the flat just as usual. A little after ten Mrs. Farrell started on her weekly search for bargains. She did this every Friday and returned at nightfall, loaded with toys for the baby, dish-towels that left lint all over the dishes, mayonnaise mixers that refused to work. , “Say ’bye-bye’ to Nana." she said, kissing little Kim good-bye. She never spoke of herself as “Grandmother.” “Bye,” said the baby, and went on playing with his string of spools. “Now, isn’t it wonderful—the way he says that, Mary Faith! Kimberley walked and talked long before he was two years old. and this baby is as smart as he was!” She never gave Mary E'aith any credit for producing a beautiful and precocious child. "Hold him up to the window, Mary Faith, so he can wave good- | bye to his Nana,” she said, opening ■ the front door. But the baby had no eyes for her departing figure when Mary Faith held him up to the window. He went into raptures over two sparrows on I the sidewalk, and it was then that he . spoke the sentence that Mary Faith interpreted as "I see birdie." She tried to make him say it again, but he struggled to get out of her arms and back to his beloved spools. But Mary E'aith was positive, nevertheless, that he had said those three i little words. Late that afternoon, when the flat was in order and din- > ner was under way, she sat down to make an entry to that effect in his \ silk-covered baby book. She began to write: “This morning the baby put three words together to make a sentence ” She had reached that pbint when she heard the sound of Kim’s car, and she flung down her pen and started up from her chair. Long afterward site was to open the book and find that unfinished entry, trailing a long streak of ink after it, like a dark cloud; and the very sight was to bring back the vivid and aching memory of this March afternoon—the yellow glow of the sun in the room, the smell of the geraniums~on the window sills, the sound of the vestibule door slamming, and Kim’s footsteps on the stairs outside. It was only five o’clock. Kim hadn't come home as early as this in months! Mary Faith was glad tint she had just changed into a elean house dress of horizon-blue cotton crepe—the color that “set off” her blue eyes.' The hope that had warmed her heart for months flared ! up once again as Kim slipped into ■ the room. The hope that on one of . these nights he would come home and be his old self—the companion- ! able contented Kim of last spring (land of last summer, instead of the
vice at 19530 conducted by the Class leader. This church will unite in the Sunday School Convention at Bobo, in the afternoon and at night. Worship with sermon by Rev. M. W.

sulky and remote man who had come and gone like a paying guest ’ all these past ten weeks. He came in, and as she looked at his face her hopes died It was hard and cold as if the regular beauty of it had been chiseled out of stone. "Hello. Kim.” she said. "Hello” He did not look at her or at the baby, w tio was trying to reach the geranium blossoms on the window sill. Then he walked out of the room. She heard him go down the hall to his own loom and close the door. A moment latei he came back. "Where's my mother:'’ Marjr_ Faith smiled. "This is her bargain day. She's still downtown.” Mrs. Farrell’s passion tor bargains had always been the source of much good-natured joking in the family. But now Kim saw no humor in Mary Faith’s report of his mother’s shop--1 ping. His face was as hard as flint as he sat down by the sitting room fire and bit the end from a cigar. ’’l'm glad she not here—l want to talk to you.” he said, and something in his tone made Mary E'aith feel shaky and sick. That was the way he talked when he came to Mrs. Puckett's bouse to tell her that he did not want to marry her, it was the way he had conte home one night, almost two vears ago. to tell her that he was going to leave her. What was he going to tell her now’ she wondered. “What is it you want to tell me. Kim?" Mary Faith heard herself ask steadily. But her lower lip quivered as she drew hark her breath and utie hand grasped the edge of the mantel shelf, as if she were bracing herself. Before he spoke a word, she knew what he was going to say. b WOn t on an y longer, was what be did say, after a pause that seemed like eternity itself to her. This business of living like two strangers under the same roof may be all right foi you. but J expect something more than that from life.” If they had been living like two strangers for the last three months, I it was his fault, not hers.
