By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XLV ill _ ICK Gloria said. “I’ve Tj come home to you!” She took no step toward him—only looked at him with unhappy eyes, wondering what he would do or say. Dick gave a short laugh. “So I see,” he said. There was no warmth in his voice. All the way home from New York Gloria had longed for this moment. Her heart had sung an old nursery rhyme to the noise of the train: “Home again, home again! Jiggedy jig!” She had thought of home as safe harbor. She had wanted to throw herself on Dick’s breast —to sob out all her heartbreak and shame to him. For she was honestly ashamed of herself. But Dick’s coolness kept her away from him, against her own will. It was like a wall between them. Her eyelids pricked. Her lips trembled. She had to . press her handkerchief hard against them to stifle a sob. Dick looked at her. She had taken off her dusty hat, and her hair shone like a copper helmet. But neither Gloria’s beauty nor her misery could touch Dick at that moment, or move him to pity. “Come here a minute,” he said. 'Gloria moved slowly into the room. She thought that he meant to take her in his arms, to tell her that he forgave her. But he waved her into a litttle chintz-covered chair that stood across the hearth from him. Gloria sank into it. “Oh, Dick, don’t look at me as if you could murder me!” she pleaded. “Don’t be mean to me! You wouldn’t if you knew all I’ve been through.” Her sobs broke out afresh. “Why, what happened to you? . . Did Wayburn throw you down?” Dick asked coldly. Gloria knew that Dick wouldn’t take her back if she told him the truth. So she lied. “You thought I’d gone to New York to be with Stan?” she asked. "No indeed. Although I did see him. . . “Sure you saw him!’l Dick broke in. ‘‘Sure you saw him! You know you followed him to New York. And I know it! So what’s the use of lying? Stick to the truth!” His fist came down hard on the arm of his chair. Gloria started. All right, she thought, she would tell him the truth! She’d let him have it, if that was what he wanted. ,* * * I p I HE told him almost all of It. IO I Her volce was ,ow and flat * I I almost without feeling. Dick knew that what she was telling him was the ugly truth. Drop by drop she drank her misery. She began with her visit to Wayburn’s rooms. She ended with the story of her struggle with Lingard in the private dining room where she had gone with him. Dick clenched his hands. “You! Going to such a place with a man like Lingard!” he said. “Letting him look you over, to see if you’d do for a chorus-girl in

his cursed show. . . . You! My wife!” He groaned, “Well, I’ll say this for Lingard—he was crazy about my looks,” Gloria told him complacently. “And he was very nice at first. But when he got fresh . , . well, I just smashed a glass right in his face! I never was so frightened in all my horn days . . She shivered. Her little shoulders shook. At that Dick rose and went to her. She laid her head on his breast. “Don’t hate me,” she begged. 1 But he turned away. “Run upstairs and wash your face while I rriake some coffee for you,” he said gruffly. “Why can’t Rarighild make it? What are you paying her for?” she asked. * “Ranghild left a week ago,” Dick answerdd. “I figured that you were gone for good, you see. And besides, we can’t afford a housemaid any more You just won’t get it into your head that we’re poor, will you Glory?” From the doorway, Gloria stargd at him. Then she flung him three words: “Still talking money!” she said, contemptuously. She picked up her hag and went upbtairs. At the top of the flight she paused. On one side or the hall was the double room that she and Dick had shared until his illness. On the other was the “spare” bedroom. Her toilet things and cushions were still in it. Gloria hesitated for a long mo: ment. Then she went quickly into the room that had been Dick’s and hers. She bathed her eyes, smoothed her hair, and went downstairs to have her coffee. She left her bag, standing open, on one of the twin beds. • • * ®WO hours later when she came upstairs again, the bag was gone. Gloria looked all around the room for it. Then she crossed the hall into the guest-room. There the bag stood! On t. e floor beside the single bed! Dick must have put it there. . . . "All right,” Gloria shrugged her shoulders. "If that’s the way he feels about me, I should worry!” But she did worry! Hurt and humiliated, she bolted the door of the room. An hour later, she heard Dick come upstairs. The door on the other side of the hall closed softly. * * * mN THE lonely quiet of the room that had been Gloria’s and his, Dick Gregory faced his problem that night. Above all other living things, he loved the woman who lay asleep in the room across the hall. He wanted to take her back, and he was afraid to do it. \ He was afraid to trust his happiness to Gloria again! He had been beside himself for the last week, since the day when he had come home to find her gone He had felt sure that she had left him for Stanley Wayburn. Gloria’s story bore out his fears, in part. He wondered though—and his nails bit

deep into his palms at the thought—if she told him the whole truth. Could he believe her? Dick didn’t know whether he could or not. Gloria had lied to him so many times before — And suppose she “got tired of sticking around the house” again, and ran away? What then?.... Dick shook his head. He was id*a torment of doubt. • mHE door behind him swung slowly open. Before he turned to look, Dick knew that Gloria stood there. His sense knew her. She stood there in her white nightgown. Her naked feet, spreud to the floor, showed white and slim. She was like some lovely lily rising superbly on a slender stem. “Dick,” she gave a little smothered cry, “Don’t hate me! Don’t treat me like this....l can’t stand it!” She rushed to him and laid her bead down on his knees, crying noftily like a child. “This isn’t the way to hold me,” she said, drawing a long sobbing breath, "by keeping yourself away from me . . . and treating me like an outcast!” “I’m not trying to hold you, Glory,” Dick said quietly. “You can go tomorrow, if you like.” Gloria looked up at him. Surprise filled her eyes. “Don’t you love me any more? Don’t you want me to live with you any more?” she asked. Dick slowly shook his head. “Not unless you’i-e ready to settle down,” he said firmly. “If you stay here, you’ll have to stay on my terms this time! You’ll have to cut out running around with May Seymour on these drinking parties. And you’ll have to knuckle down and do your own housework. I can’t afford help for you. Just look here a minute. . . .” He got up and took a thick sheaf of envelopes from the spinet desk that stood between the front windows. .' “All these are bills,” Dick said. “■VVe’re months behind with them. All my savings are gone. The house Is mortgaged right up to the hilt. . . . And I Wouldn’t mind this, Glory, if you’d been happy spending the money. But you haven’t been!” He flung the bills back on the desk. “The more money you’ve spent the more discontented you’ve been," Dick went on. “Now you’re going to try my way of living, for a change! I want you to live like other poor men’s wijves . . . help me to get along. Are you ready to try It?” Gloria looked up at him with eyes that shone under the ruddy fluff of her hair. “Oh, I am! I will try to be a real wife to you, Dick!” she cried. And at that moment she meant what she said. Besides, she knew, that sooner or later, sho could coax Dick Into getting Ranghild back again to work for her. . . . She put her arms on Dick’s shoulders. This time he did not turn away. All around him was the heavy scent of her perfumed hair. Her arms were warm *and soft, and
