it ? Whatever made her think ... She wracked her brain. What could she have said or what could Ken have said—or what could they have done to make her think, at this late day that there was anything wrong? If Sue had walked out into the hall when Ken had his face buried in her shoulder. But no, she hadn't She hadn’t seen that. And there’d been nothing else —nothing at all . .. She lay down again, turned over the pillow. Why should I worry, she thought, when my conscience is clear? And she thought again of Sue, who never had any conscience. Sue, whom Aunt Bet thought was a little queer . . . And when you have to deal with a woman like that, what good is a clear conscience? If Sue said black was white, you might as well agree, for she’d never stop till you did. That was just the beginning. From a dozen sources came news of a separation between the Raleighs. Margaret met old Mr. Raleigh in the store, and noticed that he averted his hend, and pretended not to see her. The next day at noon she bumped into Irma Dunn, one of the old crowd she now saw but seldom. ~ . . Irma, she noticed, with a slight personal satisfaction, was getting fat. But there were two diamond bracelets on her plump wrist, and the black faille she wore was beautifully tailored. “Margaret, darling! WHERE have you been?” “Didn’t you know that I’m working?” “Why, yes, someone did tell me. Tell me all about it. I NEVER see you or Sue. Don’t you have time to go ANYWHERE?” “Not much. Just evenings. Dinners and dances—things like that." “You single girls. Well, you 11 find it’s different, Mice you setUe down. You're about the only one of the crowd left, aren’t you?” . "Why, I don’t know. Am I ? “It seems that way. First Sue I and then me, and then Mary and Kay — “And Babs—” i “Babs?” "My sister!” x . , i “Oh, yes. Os course. But she s - younger. I meant the older girls, . like ourselves. By the way, I thought I’d see you at Helen Travers’ wedding. She told me you were i going to be a bridesmaid “No, I couldn't It was just the J time I was going up to the lake I with Sue —■" ~ “Oh Well, of course, you can t go on being a bridesmaid all your . life but I do think it’s rather nice ’ to have unmarried girls. Poor > Helen had six bridesmaids you i know, and his sister the on y • one who wasn’t really a matron. It : looked rather funny I thou * b ‘ i But she had a nice wedding. But my dear.

The appraiser's report was filed in the estate of John Miller, finding the value of the estate to be j |10,75<<)2 and no tax due. The appralaei was allowed 111, which was ordered taxed as costs. A petition was filed by the executor of the estate of Hattie Studebaker Obenaur for authority to compromise the claim of the Department of Financial Institutions for stock liability. It was submitted and sustained. The executor was authorized to pay $3,000 in final settiment of the claim. The will was filed in the estate of Fred T. Schurger. Evidence was heaid. The will was probated and ordered placed on record. Jhe will ordered just debts and funeral expenses paid first. Fifteen acres held in trust, as described in the deed, were ordered continued in trust with the executrix given full power to execute a deed when the trust matures. The remainder of the property was given to a sister, Christens Schurger, who was named executrix. H. B. Heller appeared as attorney for the estate. A petition was filed by Samuel J.

SURE about Ken and Sue? That — That Sue is getting a divorce?" "Os course, I’m sure. Toby told me. And then mother had it from Mrs Decker.” "But I can’t believe —" "Os course, you were always a friend of Ken’s. But I'm not surprised.” "Sue never told me!” "Sue’s never consistent. She’s told everyone else.” Margaret went back to Elson s She took off her hat and powdered her nose and went into the shop to sell dresses. Sue hadn’t told her . . . no, but Sue had said something about Ken’s behavior, and Ken ’ . Ken had tried to tell her . . . Good heavens, Ken had tried to tell her. Cold perspiration broke out on her brow, on ter upper lip. She went into the stock room, and hid behind a rack of evening gowns. If she could just hide here forever. If she could escape the family, escape the Deckers—go away somewhere and hide forever! But I’m not guilty! she told herself resolutely. "I m not guilty at all! Sue would have to prove it, and there’s nothing to prove.” But why didn't Sue come out with it and accuse her? Then she could face it and explain Sue was so straightforward about most things . . . well. It was just like her to do this differently. And so cruel! For if it were a divorce she wanted, and an excuse to get back t* the Deckers and the luxuries she’d missed, why didn’t she get it on other grounds? Cruelty—non-sup-port—anything! All day, all the way home, she thought about it. It was absurd. It was ridiculous . . . Yes, and so was the entire situation—from the very beginning. It would probably end the same way. To avoid going home to the family she called Joe's office. "Joe, how would you like to take me out to dinner?” “I’d love it!” his voice came warmly over the wire. “Any night but tonight. You didn't mean tonight, did you?” “Yes. I did. Joe —I’m worried.” “Worried? About what? Anything I can do, Maggie?” “I can’t talk over the phone — I want to talk to you. Joe—break your date." , There was a little silence. "Joe, I know I shouldn’t ask you, but this is really something special. “Maggie, rd love to. And I would in a minute, except that a girl from Los Angeles — you know — Dot Painter, I told you about her—” "Oh—oh, yes!" “She’s been up here for a few days—” That’s why I haven’t seen you, she thought. It hadn't mattered before. Suddenly, it seemed to mattsr a lot. “Margaret!” “Yes—” “I thought we were disconnected.” "Oh, no—no. I won't keep you, Toe. I just thought— il you weren't busy—” "Sure there isn't something I can do? I might dash over and see you for a few minutes before I pick up Dot—” “No, it's nothing I just wanted to talk. Sometime when you aren’t so busy ” She hung up. She felt frightened and alone. ’ She had counted on Joe to under- ■ stand and help. But if he’d rather ' take Dot Painter out there was nothing more to be said, of course. After all, she'd managed to take care of herself pretty well, in the ■ past. Somehow or other, she'd • weather this, too. (To be continued) I Copyright, King Fescurw Syndicate, Inc.
