He shouldn't brine his load of grief into the room that had only last night witnessed perfect joy CHAPTER XXXVIIT JT was 6 o'clock when Nan Morgan. in a tempest of unreasoning jKiry and fear, locked her doors against any attempt her husband might make to bring to her his load of despair and newly revived love for his first wife. She shan't haunt this room. too. as site does every other room in the house!” Nan sobbed She was trembling with the fury of her own determination, but her ears betrayed her by straining to catch the faintest sound which would indicate that he was trying to come to her. After many minutes she heard him open his door. Breathlessly she waited, savagely eager to have him turn the knob of her door and find it locked. She herself was suffering so terribly that it gave her a fierce, perverse pleasure to think of his being hurt too. Kneeling down before that woman who had never loved him and who had deserted him! Nan clenched her hands as her eyes stared at the doorknob. Going to the hospital twice in one day to see her. when she wasn’t really sick at all but just shamming to win his sympathy! He and always been wax in Iris’ hands. Well, let him be hurt now! It would serve him right. She had been hurt enough, God krfew!. . . . But her straining eyes ‘jtold Nan that he had not touched she knob of her door. .She heard water running; faint, familiar sounds which told her he w-gs getting out his shaving things. She could see every step of the process as if she were in the bathroom beside him. The way he fretched his upper lip in a comical grimace; the brooding gravity in his deep-set black eyes, which aw nothing funny in the facial contortions a man makes when he -haves himself. The infinite care with which he circled the safely azor about the little brown mole oh his right cheek. Oh! Nan Vaught her breath in agony. It. was /terrible to love a man so much. * Only this morning she had stood close beside him as he shaved, so close that his elbow joggled her ribs

After a hasty telephone call to ihr Ross house u> see that her pa‘tent was ocmg well taken care of by Mrs. Burns from next door.

and made her double up in a childish fit of giggling. And now—now. n n h SHE v ailed until she heard him re-enter his own room, then with a great effort. Nan went about her own dressing for dinner. The amber chiffon. He liked it. but why try to please him now? He wouldn't notice what she had on. His eyes would be tuned in upon a vision of Iris, lying in appealing helplessness i upon a hospital bed. her fragility clothed m an exquisitely colored, subtly scented negligee. Even as her hairbrush gave furious punctuation to her defiance. I Nan knew.’, deep down in her heart, that if .John Curtis Morgan wanted her to relinquish him to his first wife she would do so: He would !be the last court of appeal. If he j decided against her. there would be ! no fight left in her. She did net descend the stairs until she had heard her husband go down, slowly, like an old man. f, was their custom to assemble in the drawing room, there to-wait for Estelle's summons to thr dining room. It took all her courage to cross the threshold, and so strong had been her premonition of what she would find when she did so that . she felt no surprise, only an overwhelming despair. ! John Curtis Morgan and his son stood before the fireplace, looking absurdly like each other, in spite of the difference in their sizes. Con- ' sciously or unconsciously, Curtis had duplicated his father's pose—feet planted wide apart, hands thrust into trousers pockets, shoulders hunched, head lowered, but eye3 ia;sed to Iris Morgan’s breath- ! takingly beautiful portrait. How 1 closely kin those two were! Father and son, by virtue of the woman at whose picture they gazed. Nan was powerless to move toward them. She was an interloper. It would be indecent to intrude upon their tragic brooding. All fight melted out of her for the moment, giving way to a nauseating selfhatred. If she had not “wormed her way” into John Curtis Morgan’s home, into his grief, into’ the affections of his son. so that marriage with her had come to seem inevitable, he and the child would have been free to welcome Iris home. What did it matter that they had been better off without her? Ts they preferred sickness to health, misery to peace, iris to Nan. why .shouldn't they have them? People never thanked you for doing hings for their good. ”Oh. excuse me, Mrs. Morgan. I didn't know you was there.” Estelle apologized as she almost bumped into the frozen little figure in the doorway. "Dinner is served, ma’am.” The two before the fireplace started, the man guiltily. The 7-year-old boy stared at Nan as if he had never seen her before, a strange hostility in his liquid black eyes. Nan's heart contracted sharply with anxiety. Did he have a fever? Why was he staring at her like that? Had Iris already begun to poison the child against her? But why ask? She had known Iris was going to j fight her with every weapon she could lay hands on, and of course | the child would be the most potent, i next to the terrific appeal which she had always made to the senses' of the man she never loved and had deserted. HELLO, dear!” her husband greeted her constrainedly, as he came forward to take her arm. , ’ Sorry I couldn't meet you for ! lunch.” ”How did the trial progress? Any j jurors chosen?" Nan asked, with ! apparently cheerful casualness. "We went to the hospital to see mv mother." Curtis cut in. his voice

"I'll make up some story about being left a widow before she was born—" Oh. I think I'd tel! her. when she's old enough to understand." Tony interrupted cheerfully. "Nothing like playing square with your kuls, I think." A dull red splotched Callie Barleus 7viv.*c lace. "All right.” she cooked. "Put it in.

; sounding oddly mature and child- ■ ishly belligerent. "She—” I "Nan asked me a. question, son." thr father reproved him sternly, but laid a hand on the boy’s shoulder. "Haven’t you seen the afternoon paper. Nan? The trial kt adjourned until Jan. 9.” No need now to pretend interest. Nan cried: "Adjourned? Why? What happened? You don't mean Braincrd wasn’t ready? Or do you suppose he’d got wind of w hat we re going to spring?” Morgan was obviously grateful for her interest and for a chance to think and talk of something else besides the amazing return of his divorced wife. He drew out a chair for Nan with his usual meticulous ! politeness, as he answered: "Oh. no. nothing like that. We w crc impaneling the jury, had agreed on four men. when about 3 o'clock this afternoon Brainerd got w ord that his star witness, the butler Edgars, had been stricken with acuatc appendicitis and rushed to the hospital for an emergency operation. He's in pretty bad shape, I understand. Naturally the trial ! couldn't proceed without him. and Judge Bunce granted an adjourn- ! ment until the old man is in a condition to be brought to the courtroom—if he survives.” | "Good heavens!” Nan said slowly. ! "It will be more of a blow for us ! if the poor old man dies than for the prosecution.” "True." Morgan agreed. ‘ But still we have the goods on Nina Blackhull. even without the butler's testimony as to her relations with the chauffeur Bassett. But naturally what he was willing to tell us on cross-examination w r ould have been mighty important. Brainerd, of course can use Edgars’ testimony before the grand jury, as to Blackhull’s quarrel with David, the boy | leaving in his car at 2 o'clock in i the morning and the finding of the ; body. I hope we’ll have our chance at him, though.” “Where is he —which hospital?” | Nan demanded, as she made a preI tense of eating her soup. “He's at St. Luke's, too, where | Mother is." Curtis answered the question. "Father went to talk to the doctor about him while I stayed with Mother.” Again that curious, direct glance of hostility from the 1 black eyes which had been so full | of love as late as this morning. "Yes,” Morgan agreed, flushing I and lowering his eyes. ‘‘They were j operating then. No one could say | how it would turn out, but a few minutes ago I telephoned the hos- | pital and the poor old man has ! come out of the ether all right. If j t here are no serious complications. he'll pull through, Dr. Matthews ! says.” I) ts H I’M GLAD." Nan said in a lowvoice. There seemed to be nothing else to add. nothing whatever to talk about. j For Iris was as much a memj ber of that constrained group as \ if she sat on the vacant fourth side !of the table. Nan felt that the ! insolent blue-green eyes were mock- ! ing them all. "Don't want, any spinach and car- ' rot-and-peas.” Curtis said sud- | denly. violently thrusting aside the j vegetable dish from which Estelle j was about to serve him. Morgan snapped out of a period ;of brooding abstraction to frown upon his son. "Eat what's put before you, Curtis." he commanded | sternly. j "I won't!” Curtis shouted, the . feverish flush deepening alarmingly I on the face which had once been 1 so thin and anemic and now was plump with health. "Mother says I don't have to cat tilings T don't * like! ’Sides, she give he all the i chocolates I wanted out of that ' big box you took her. I aren't j hungry!” Morgan seemed glad of the chance to show furious anger. The two who were so alike and yet so different glared at each other. "Then leave the table!" the father ordered savagely. "Anri go straight ;to bed. You know you're not permitted to eat between meals and that —” The child's howl of rage cut across the father's furious rebuke. Involuntarily. Nan reached out a hand and laid it soothingly upon Curtis' clenched fist. "Please. John! Let me . . . Cunis. darling, you don't want to lose your gold star for a perfect health chart, do you? If you aren’t hungry, you can skip : dessert, but Nan does want you to eat the vegetables—” "Won't cat them!" Curtis I screamed, pushing his plate so violently that part of the food spilled upon the immaculate white cloth. "Don't have to do what you tell me to! You ain't got any right to boss me! Mother says—” "Go to your room!” his father roared, rising and bending over the child as if his clenched fists longed to strike him. "And stay there till you're ready to apologize to Nan and to promise to obey her implicitly. Do you understand?” Nan shrank into her chair, every I nerve outraged by the scene, the ! like of which had never taken place j in that home since she had become * its mistress. Helplessly, she watched ' thr child scramble out of his chair and run howling from the room. (To R* Continued!
