Miss Bayiess! ' Mona Allen called to her as she entered. Mr. Barnes has been looking everywhere for you.” Eve ignored inis thrust. Arlene, emerging from Barnes' office a few minutes later, handed ,Eve some proofs to correct. Fastened to them with a paper clip was a hastily penciled note from Arlene, “tiet these out of the way a-s quickly as possible," it read "His highness is wild about something.” Later Eve and Arlene speculated on the cause of Barnes' display of temper—a thing most unusual for him “I think Mr Bixbv's been taking e hand in running the office again,” Arlene confided. I know he thinks higher than they need to be and higher than the volume of this year's Christmas selling warrants. Wonder what the outcome will be!” All this was food for thought for Eve and she renewed her efforts to make good in a conspicuous way. If Earle Barnes resigned of if he were forced to quit, perhaps Mr. Bixby would put her in charge of the department. Eve did not tell Dick about this possibility. She suspected that he would not like it. Oh. he would be proud of her ability, of course; but he would not approve of her going into anything which was certain to take so much of her time and interest. Nevertheless she resolved that after the holidays whether Dirk approved the step or not. she would begin to attend night school again and review the course she had taken in advertising. BBS SHE hurried through her work that day. determined to get home on time. She longed for Dick's arms around her. Longed for this odd. silent barrier that suddenly had come between them to be cleared away. But Dick was not to be surprised or wheedled into an explanation of his absence the night before. Aside from that he was even more considerate than usual, suggesting that they should meet downtown after work that evening, have dinner and perhaps go somewhere to dance or see a movie. Next evening he called up shortly before the store closed to tell Eye he would not be home for dinner and that she should not wait up for him. as he might be rather late. Immediately Eve's suspicions were aroused anew. His explanation for this absence was that all the executives in charge of the construction job on which he was engaged were having dinner, to be followed by a conference concerning their work She went home, locked the door, and after making herself a cup of tea and a sandwich, turned off the lights in the living room and tried to read herself to sleep. It was nearly 1 before Dick came home. Eve, who was wide awake, closed her eves and pretended she was asleep, though she scorned herself for pretense and was furious at Dick for making the pretense seem necessary. What was their marriage coming to. she asked herself over and over again. CHAPTER TWELVE IT was Thursday, two weeks before Christmas. As he sat down a i the breakfast table Dick asked.

THE SPIDER SILK experiment in France proved very disappointing Although the cocoon the spider is much stronger than that used in webs, it was found to be much inferior to that of the silkworm It took 7.000 spiders to weave a pound of silk, and it was difficult to keep a large supply on hand, especially since the spiders insisted on devouring each other. NEXT —Os what value Is dust in the air?

i ‘ Eve. do you think you could get away from the office Saturday morning? I'd like to make a little j trip.” 'Oh. I'd love it!” she said ‘But how could I get away so near to Christmas? Think of all the evenings lately I’ve had to bring work home from the store.” "All right, remind your chief of that! You aren't paid for overtime. I’ve outlined a little trip—” He produced a road map and with a pencil indicated the route. "We'll go downstate through some towns you've never seen. The scenery is especially attractive along the river. See. well cut off here into the hills—” • Oh. Dick, it would be such fun!" Eve responded “I’ll see what I can do about getting off.” "I'd like to leave at 10 Saturday morning,” Dick reminded her. But Saturday Eve had to attend to several tasks at the office. Dick drove her downtown and left her while he went to his own job to make sure everything was satisfactory before leaving town. At 10 he drove up to the side entrance at Bixby's. At a quarter of 11 a flushed and nervous Eve emerged from the revolving doors and took her place at his side. "Dick, I was so upset at keeping you waiting” she began, breathlessly "Barnes was decent about letting me go. I had it all arranged, you know Then—of all things!— Mr. Bixbv called us all to his office. He bawled us out terribly for that mistake in Friday night's ad Os course it was Mona Allen's fault, but a lot of good it would do to tell Mr Bixbv that! It's results that count And the store will have to take a big loss.” a b a “And yet you're determined to go on!” Dick said, “ I won’t tell you when to quit. It's up to you. But I want to remind you that no job is worth as much as your health.” "Well, anyway, I shouldn't have left when I did this morning.” Eve went on. "Suppose Mr. Bixby sends for me again during the day and Barnes has to tell him I've gone to spend the week-end in the country?” "He'll probably ask for your resignation,” Dick replied cheerfully. They rode in silence out Broadway and then turned south. Eve shuddered as they passed the gray stone walls of the State hospital. Many an inmate there, she knew, might have been saved if he had stopped the nervous strain in time. She glanced at Dick's handsome profile. He looked strong, purposeful, and yet so calm. "Dick, you never worry about your work, do you?" she began. "Wouldn’t say that." he answered. "Every job has its disagreeable side.” "But I never hear you rave and rant when you get home nights. My father used to relive the entire working day at the dinner table!” Eve said. •people do that and then wonder why they have nervous indigestion,’’ Dick smiled. aan “■\VTELL.” Eve went on. "when I VV still was at home. I decided hat if I ever had a family of my jwn. we'd talk about what's going on in the world at rneal time." “Yes, most kids are bright enough.” Dick agreed, as they rode through an outlying factory district. "When I was a boy down on the farm.” he continued, "we didn't have much money for foolishness. After chores were done, we always had time for play, but there was never any money spent on that play. Money was too scarce! In spite of that, there never was a year when my father didn't have the price to subscribe to two daily newspapers. "And. hard as he worked. Dad never was too tired to talk over the main part of the day’s news with the family. When I came into the city. I got plenty of razzing for being a 'green country bov,’ but I wasn't really as green as they thought.” And Dick grinned. (To Be Continued.)
