Somehow, during those first black moments, she had fallen and struck her head against the sharp corner of the rad’ator cover “I must have fainted,” she marveled dully.

Whether she w as physically aware of something tremendous afoot or whether she had seen Sandy come home. Tony never knew, but just when the sandwiches—made with the most loving care that any sandn ichec had ever received—were being crammed in'o a shoebox. Mary Burns entered the Ross kitchen by the back door. Not for the first tin# her dispensing with the formality of knocking stabbed Tony's overcharged fieart with jealousy. Thought she was already one ot the family, did he? Tony demanded of herself fiercely. Well, she wasn't—vet ! And if the Tony Tarver charms h?b not been grossly exaggerated by bcu- many admirers, she never vruld be! Where's Sandy? What are you denic. Tony?" Mary Burns demanded. all in one breath. "I want Sandy -and vou—" she added, with unmistakable reluctance—"to come over to my house tonight to a tacky' party. T declare, it simply slays me hew ignorant you Nawthe n folks are! ‘ When I was get tin' up this party at the store this evenin', on the spur of the minute, hko I love to do things, they wasn't a soul had the least i-dea what .1 tacky' party was " Sorry!” Tony interrupted briskly. ‘Sandy's got a job on tonight, and I'm to drive him to the aviation field." She would have bitten her tongup out before she w ould have let Mary Burns into the secret of Sandy's flight to Nicaragua. ' Oh. shucks.” Mary drawled disgustedly. 'You Nawthe'n folks never have time to play—Oh. hello. Sandy! Wheah you goin ?” Sandy Ross grinned at her. teasIngly. fondly, and Tory could have stabbed her. so hot was her jealousy. ‘Who w ants to know , kitten? Got s passenger who w-.- r.ts to go from here to there in a big hurry. . . . Ready. Tony?" ‘•Y"s. Sandy!" Tony cried, her voice ringing with triumph. He hadn't told Mary Burns! If he loved her. he would want to share his danger and his triumph with her . . - But. oh. maybe he loved her so much he wanted to spare her the anxiety! •Scoot home now. Kitten! No time for you now ." Sandy ordered, and the plump, deliciously pretty, little Southern girl backed out of the kitchen door, her black eyes cosetting with him and reproaching him at the same time Hey Pop!” Sandy called loud!:'. Mr. Ross, his eyes suspiciously

nor cried shrilly dropping the brief ano sinking to her knees beside the bowed little figure on the floor. 'What is the matter. Mrs. Morgan? Ha- anything happened? Are you sick?” “I'm—all right,” Nan answered, lifting dazed, blind eyes. 'Just—a little dizzy. If you'll give me your hand. Thank you. No, I don't want any water. I'm all right. Picase go way. Miss O Connor.” When the frightened secretary had closed the door reluctantly behind her. Nan. at her desk again, lifted the receiver of her telephone ana called a number. Estelle? Mrs. Morgan speaking. If Mrs. Iris Morgan has not left the house yet. will you please take down her portrait from above the fireplace and give it to her?” "She said she wasn’t going to take it. She said she wanted it to stay where it is.” Estelle babbled. “She's gone now, anyway—” “Then.” Nan said, “please tell Big Pat to rake it to—her house across the street —and leave it!” CHAPTER XLIV NOT even Nan's quivotic conscience could succeed in troubling her seriously when she had time to consider the irresistible impulse which had made her force Iris Morgan to take her portrait, along with her other belongings. She could feel nothing but a fierce exultation that that reminder of Iris Morgan's beauty was gone at last. When John Curtis Morgan's second wife returned home that last Friday in December she went from room to room of her house and viewed, with stony eyes, the havoc wrought by the first wife’s pillaging. The linen presses had been ruthlessly ransacked of their finest treasures. Only the plainest, most utilitarian of the sheets, towels, table clothes and napkins remained. Nan shrugged and passed on. Bric-a-brac and tapestry missing from library, drawing room and dining room; pictures gone from almost every wall; great gaps in the book shelves. Resolutely, her emotions numbed by a cold anger. Nan forced herself to enter the big bedroom which had once been occupied by Iris and the man who was then her husband. Nan expected to find the room denuded. Certainly Iris could claim legitimately that all its furnishings belonged to her. Vividly Nan recalled the occasion of the room's redecoration—an eighth wedding anniversary present from John Curtis Morgan to his wife. It had fallen to Nan's lot. as Morgan's secretary. to total the exorbitant bills and write checks for them. Oh. yes. the contents of this room of all rooms were certainly Iris Morgan's to do with as she pleased. But on the threshold Nan stopped and stared, incredulously at first, then with a drawing comprehension which made her childish mouth set in a hard, cynical smile. For the room was exactly as Iris had left it nearly a year ago. The amethyst and blue-green taffeta drapes still hung at the windows; the narrow beds of inlaid Chinese teakwood were still dressed in their blue-green taffeta spreads, as if demurely awaiting their rightful occupants. Nn : even the vanity dressing table. with its rich treasure of scent

red. but a cheerful grin on his face, came from the dining room, trailing the afternoon paper. "Ready, boy?” Don't go to sleep on the job." the father counselled heartily. When do you figger on gettin' home?” "Oh. Friday night or Saturday morning. Pop.” Sandy said easily. "You and Tony take good care of Mom. Don’t, let her try to stand on that bum ankle yet... So long. Pop . . . Ready. Tony?” And after a brief, awkward handshake with his father. Sandy snatched up thermos bottle and sandwich box and clumped after Tony down the hall. The phone was ringing. In spite of the need for haste. Tony automatically took time to answer it. Tony?" came Crystal's breathless voice over the wire. "I've got to see you tonight. Got to tell you something—” "Sorry, Crys!” Tony answered. "Sandy's off to Nicaragua in his plane tonight, taking a woman to sec her dying son. A marine. Old friend of mine and Sandy's. But you can meet me at the aviation field, if you like . . , Yes. we re just off. Bye!” Sandy was glowering at, her. his brows draw n over angry eyes. "Pest!" he exploded. "Now were in for it! Reporters and photographers and all the rest*. Come along! Maybe we can beat them to it.” iTn IV Continued)

bottles, jars and boxes in amethyst crystal had been touched. "So you've left it ready for your return." Nan mentally addressed the. other woman. “Clever of you Iris. To have transplanted this room <rom this house to your temporary home would have been an acknowledgment of defeat. But to leave it here, waiting. . . . Oh, yes, clever of you. Iris!” The brown head jerked up then; the red light of bat--1 tie gloved in eyes that had been i stony with a cold anger and contempt. “Well, Iris!” she challenged her unseen rival. "I think it.'s about time I was clever, too!” 33 3 THE result of that resolution was a conference the very next day between Nan Morgan and one of the city's most trustworthy interior decorators. Shortly after their marriage Morgan had paid his new wife the courtesy of adding her name to his in a joint checking account at the bank. Now, without compunction, she prepared to draw upon it almost to the extent of its capacity, in an effort to banish the ghost of Ins Morgan from her home and his. Late on Monday, Jan. 7. just twenty-four hours before Morgan was due home from the state capital to take up the interrupted case of The State versus David Blackhuil, Nan Morgan made a tour of her j home and found it good. The draw--1 ing room had been re-papered, so 1 that no longer o 'er the fireplace was there a dark square to call atten- ! tion to the fact that Iris Morgan's I portrait had been banished. There l were new curtains and drapes in both dining room and drawing j room, and in the latter a really notable collection of beautifully framed ! etchings, to take the place of the pictures of which Iris had robbed it. But it was the first wife's bedroom which had undergone the most complete change. Gone were the amethyst and blue-green drapes and bedspreads; gone the amethyst rug. the vanity dressing table with its amethyst jars and boxes; gone, too. was every piece of the Chinese teakwood furniture. The interior decorator har spoken glowingly of the new' modernistic furniture, but Nan had told him; "No this is to be our guest room, suitable for a man and wife of any age. It must be quietly charming and utterly comfortable.” Completed, it was just that. I* even looked as if it. had l>een lived in. Nan discovered, as she studied her new guest room with quiet satisfaction. No smallest reminder here of exotic Iris. In her files at the office reposed a warehouse receipt for all the gaudy trappings and furnishings w’hich had given place to the new. “If you win. Iris,” Nan mentally promised her rival, “you may have the receipt, with my compliments to a better woman than I am.” Even as she uttered this bravado to herself. Nan knew' that she was simply whistling to kee pher courage up. ft had not. been so difficult ?o be brave, clever and hard while John Curtis Morgan was safely away from the spell of the woman across the street. But in twentyfour hours he would be home again and then—what? The Bradley case, which John Curtis Morgan was defending on an appeal before the state supreme court, did not go to the jury until Tuesday noon. The Blackhuil case w as to reopen the next day. after an adjournment due to the sudden. serious illness of the star witness. the old butler, .Edgars. Nan spent the w-hole of Tuesday working on the Blackhuil case, so that her husband should find everything in readiness for the delayed opening on Wednesday. At half-past 5 his telegram came. Nan had not yet left the office. There was no need now* for her to rush home to Curtis, for the child, obeying his mother’s command, was spending Iris afternoons in the little house across the street. Nan had not dared issue a counter-order to the child to stay at home. If such an order was to be issued, it mustcome from the father. BUS? SHE opened the telegram. “Leaving at 5:10. Arrive 11:15. Lost. Please meet me. John.” Lost! Nan stared at the word. How sore his heart must be! He had so counted on winning this case. 1 Lost. Not very many times in his career as a criminal lawyer had John Curtis Morgan been forced to make that confession. Through her tears, Nan saw’ the very letters of the word grow giant in size. Lost. It, was like a cry from her heart, to his—not, “I’ve lost,” but “I am lost.” Would he no‘ be "lost" indeed, when he came heme to find Iris almost in his very house—only the width of a street between her and him? A magnet drawing, drawing, until he was lost indeed. Nan closed her eyes for a moment, then loooked at the message again. “Please meet me.” Suddenly exultation swelled in her heart. He wanted her; he needed her. He was sad and discouraged, and he was crying out to her for comfort.
