ARGARET . WELLER awoke and was tremendously relieved to find herself in her own room. In

the other bed, Arthur's snores rose to a new height and subsided in a whistle. But this morning, that sound did not, as usual, put her nerves on edge. It was a gratifying symbol of commonplace security and comfort. Yesterday, she had thought *she did not want security and comfort. Yesterday, she was to have run away, with handsome Jerry Ritter. But now, she could see plainly that she had been discontented simply because she had no real troubles. Arthur was kind and faithful, and had provided well for her. They had a trim little home just outside the city. Jerry was one of the engineers on a new state road that passed directly in front of the house. He and Margaret first had met when he had come to her aid one day when her car had stalled at the entrance to her driveway. Afterward, she had felt breathless and strangely stimulated. ® x =»

URING the subsequent week, she had become an industrious gardener, lavishing attention on the flowers. and shrubs on her front lawn. It was not long before she was meeting Jerry in the city. “A married woman ought to have one harmless flirtation,” she had told herself, feeling very modern. “Otherwise, she gets too settled.” She had not, in the beginning,

But perhaps, she thought now, Jerry's thrilling technique came from long practice and many teachers. She had not thought of that at the time. .. . Yesterday, she was to have met him in the railway station at. 3 o'clock: — beside the information booth. “If IT am not there, you needn’t wait—you will know I have decided not to come,” she had hedged. “And if I am not there, you needn’t wait,” Jerry jested.

But now, she distrusted that knowledge; now, she was appreciating Arthur's innocent, “You look good in anything to me.” Three o'clock, Three-fifteen. No Jerry.

But you don’t need to get my breakfast, honey; it’s no trouble for me to plug in coffee and make toast. Still — it would be kinda nice to have you eat with me. . . .” She kissed him when he left for the office, and the shock nearly undid him. + “I think there’s nobody like you,” he stammered awkwardly, “even if I'm not so hot at showing it.” His eyes made her humble and ashamed. Maybe, with encouragement, even your own husband would make love to you. ...

FTER he had gone, she decided to clean the house. A woman came in every week, but Margaret needed to scrub and polish; it made her feel as if she were cleaning her soul.. Briskly, she rolled up the small rug before the hall door. Why, there was a sealed envelope! Her name was written on it. Evidently, it had been slipped under the door and had gone under the rug instead of on Dp. She tore it open, read: .. Darling-—Have to leave town immediately. Can’t wait. Some important business came up. Couldn’t afford to dodge if. - I tried to phone, but you did not answer. Take the three-fifteen, and I'll meet it in Buffalo. Don’t fail me, sweetheart!
