71 Wife on JLgcwe K . INEZ klumph
Sally Brabant, a society butterfly, has been (civen a year's leave of absence by her husband. Richard Brabant, who hopes that she
will learn something: of life. She has;
a thrilling: flirtation with Keith Gilbert, who has always been labeled "Dangerous," and Is horrified to learn that, despite his position In society, he Is a bootleeger. Ho attempts to kidnap her when he escapes arrest for the murder of a revenue officer, committed by one of his men. Sally Is rescued by Neal Calhoun, who advises that she KO to work. She finds herself without funds, and her husband's absence and he Impossibility of reaching him force her to accept this suggestion. She gets a position under an assumed name as ehaperone to a 17-year-old girl. Claire Finch, who has more money than manners.
CHAPTER XLIX SALLY'S BALL AND CHAIN It was with gratitude that Sally learned the next day that her newduties would take her to a summer resort which her friends did not frequent. When she impulsively adopted the name of Pemberton she had not reckoned with the chance that she might be seen by someone who knew her; she had thought only that it would be wise to avoid discovery by her mother-in-law, should that august
personage return
from Europe and hear by chance that young Mrs. Richard Brabant was acting as a professional chaperone. Mrs. Finch departed for the West with many warnings to Sally to
Inez Klumph look after Claire.
"She's so impulsive, she's likely to let
her feelings just run away with her!
exclaimed the little woman as she
kissed her daughter goodbye. In view of the fact that that same daughter winked at Sally over her mother's shoulder, the warning seemed perhaps more necessary than Mrs. Finch
dreamed.
ly,. returned to her seat and stared at the landscape. A common little flirt! "Perhaps I'm unfair to her," she re
flected, as Claire glowered at her ia
sulky silence. "She's so unattractive and wants so much to be fascinating."
She began to sum up Claires good
rather homelike, despite 'its size. It stood on the rocky shore of the ocean, its cream-colored stucco' walls contrasting effectively with the tumbling rreen water.
It was a relief, too, to find that she and Claire were to have separate sleeping rooms, sharing only the living room of their suite. There had been some talk of their having a room together, and Sally had determined to
make a firm stand if that arrange
ment was adopted. She liked her room, with its graygreen, painted furniture; she would keep Dick's photograph locked in the desk, she reflected; if she had only used her own name, she might have kept the picture out in plain Bight. She ararnged her dainty enamelled toilet articles on the dressing table, and dressed for dinner. She had
grown accustomed to doing without
her maid, but was still rather awkward, and was slowly fastening her dinner frock of midnight blue tulle when Claire burst into the room without knocking. "Oh I didn't rap I meant to!" she apologized as she noted Sally's surprise. "Do hurry; I'm crazy to get downstairs and see who's staying here. Hope there are some good looking men!" Sally followed her into the corridor slowly, with a fervent hope that the hotel would prove to be as man-less as
an old ladies home. Tomorrow The Matrimonial Market Place.

meals are plain" she refialned fromi saying badly cooked "but there's always the chance that Humphrey will make good again. He's been trying toget orders, he never tried before, because he always had enough capital to speculate." Millie folded the last sheet and snapped the suitcase shut. "I can't stand this town any more,' she said. "It was bad enough when we had a lot of money. But now why, even Mrs. Brautfeld is patronizing, insolently patronizing, and she a
tailor's wife! And MrB. Werner gave
a luncheon and didn't ask me " "Come along." Patty urged. If Hum
phrey intended to live at his office, she wanted to get his things down be
fore he went there for the night. Sne
now dreaded having Humphrey and
Millie meet.
They went down the street together, Millie wondering whether anyone would notice them and the suitcaee and the bag they carried. They avoided the main street through the business center and took a side one that was dark, crossing the railroad tracks below the station and approaching the office from the other side. The place was dark. It was a onestory building, containing two rooms or offices and a wash room. Beyond
was the lumber yard and the little'
river boat
ber and the boat black shadows j against a steel blue sheen from the water. j The station, a square away, was an island of red and green and yellow lights in . the darkness, with square, ugly black shapes that rose here and there against the sky. A single street lamp lighted the way between the lumber yard and the railway crossing. Patty opened the door with her key, put the suitcases where Humphrey
would find themv scribbled her name on a sheet of paper and the words "Better come home" and slipped out to meet Millie. They walked home in silence. Millie said at once : "I wonder what people will say?" Next morning Patty helped get breakfast. She looked up as Millie came down to the kitchen. Millie looked as though she hadn't slept, her hair was more careless than usual,
and her kimono was fastened wrong. "Well, he means It. He didn't come home," she said. ' Even Mrs. Parke was quiet at breakfast. "It's perfectly ridiculous," Millie broke out at last. "He's doing this to make me the talk of the town. Patty, when you go to the office, you make him come home and be sensible."
Patty was early for the office. When she went in, she felt somehow, as though she could not put her key into the door, and go in alone. It was so strange and so unlike Humphrey! Suppose he had done something desperate? "Silly!" she chided herself, and walked in. , The suitcases were gone, and so was her note. And there was no Humphrey.
The big couch, a discard from one of
not been used because some papers that were on it the day before lay therein exactly the same position. Her heart pounding, Patty ran to the door of the little empty room beyond and went into it. No Hmmhrey Relieved because of the thing she did not dare to fear she went back to the main office. Humphrey had
gone to the hotel, of course, or to one of .the boys' houses to Fred's, perhaps. She walked to the desk and found
on the typewriter at which she
picked, out occasional letters a note addressed to her. Her hands cold from nervous fear, she opened It. "You're a peach to bring down bedclothes and pajamas and brushes. I notice you didn't forget my shaving things some memory, that! I'm off I don't know where, but I've had enough. If I find a job with real money, I'll write. If not, you, won't hear. Don't
worry about me. There's $300 in the bank, and McConnel will sell the house if you need more, and Fletcher will buy my business. ' Get Cornell at the bank to handle it. That's all. Goodbye." Patty sat staring at the note. And suddenly, for Humphrey's sake, - she
felt relieved. But how was she to tell

as she said. Sally groaned inwardly. Was she to find her ball and chain a common little flirt? It rather looked that way, especially when Claire insisted on leaving the compartment door open. After a time, realizing that
a young man who has passed the door;
all too frequently was inclined to loiter outside it, Sally began to be suspicious. Claire, who was pretending to read a book let it slip from her lap. Instantly, and inexcusabley, the
young man darted into the compart-' ment and picked it up for her. Clair thanked him profusely, and he com-( mented on the weather. It was only when Sally intervened with frosty politeness, and almost forced him to' leave, that he showed any inclination 1 to go. i Closing the door behind him, Sally turned to meet-Claire's eyes.

were filled with illlconcealed disgust.'

"It would die down the talk if Mother would let it," she said at last. "And after all, we've been managing very well. Of course, we have to work and we can't entertain much and

cuts painting cost
The only way to buy paint economically is to forget gallon Price and figure costs by area covered and years of life. SWF covers one-third more area than paints which are cheaper per gallon. It lasts twice as long without repainting, so requires half the material and costs half the labor price (for painting and repainting). So price per gallon means nothing. Area covered, weather resistant, and years of life are the real things that determine price economy. On that basis S'W P is the cheapest per-gallon outside paint you could buy. SWP has been the leading prepared house paint for half
a century. You will find a complete line of it at our store. Let us figure with you "on your house-painting. -
