•Tvo got to stay with the old man. How would it look if I left In the midxlle of the night?” “A fine lady-killer you turned out to be!" blazed Haggerty angrily. • One glimpue of you and the dame

"That's not fair,” protested
Gladys. "He's just not the typ "I’couldn't very well ho!d ngainst her will. Youd better go

£eur • . .
The managing editor of the Star was In Chandler's apartment waiting for him when f ill put in an appearance late Monday afternoon, and they were at once deep in such an argument that Gladys, perched on the arm of a chair, pretended to act as referee. Haggerty wanted to go ahead with the suit for alienation of affections oa the ground that Bill, after telling his bride he had been called to Washington, had instead gone to the Adirondack with Connie Allcnbury. "We cunt miss. Bill. It's a perfect setup. "The set-up’s crazy! We haven t
a chance,” declared Bill.
"At the end of the tenth round it's a draw,” cut in Gladys, imilat-
all it’s perfectly Innocent — just
fun.”
"Sure," sighed Gladys rapturously. “Besides ... a girl can certainly dance with her husband ! . . . And you are my husband!” Bill blinked a hit at that. "Oh, yes. tjuile. And, after ail, it's our last night — " Gladys stopped short in th" dance and looked up at him. "What dc» you mean? The last ...” “Why. if you file suit tomorrow I'll have to move out of here to prove we're alienated. You know, I'm going to miss you." "And I'll miss you, too." “You're a swell kid, Gladys. I ha f v to let you he dragged into all thia mess tomorrow.” "You're not euch a cluck yourself, Bill. I.isten, you don’t want me to start that suit. Do you.' ' Her hand toyed with bin lapel and rhe raised limpid eyes to his. He covered h ir hand. "For your own sake — no, I don't.” “Then I don'l\" cried Gladys joyously. “I don't start anything till you say so.” Sho looked up at him again in sudden mischievousness. "After all, a girl should listen to her husband." Bill warned: "There'll be a row with Warren." "It won't be the first. And I don't buy any plan thnt wi'l eon ! me to jail!” She smiled as thouijh pleased and intrigued at her thought. “I bought a plan to Jobfc marriedt Let's dance some more.”

manded Haggerty. "What if it w.;ia only one night? That's enough!
You lied to your trusting bride; you didn't go to Washington. You went to keep a rendezvous with the Al-
lenhury girl.”
"But her father was there! pro-
tested Bill.
"Merely a blind You come home from the week-end. You're cold to your wife — fight with her. Why, It’s in tho bag! As neat a ease for alienation of affection as I've ever Been, and we clap the suit on to-
morrow!”
"No!” said Bill sharply. “You can't get away with it! They'd throw the suit out of court anywhere. X was Allenbury's guest, not Connie's; I was never alone with her. You haven’t a leg to stand on. Take it easy, Warren. I'm getting a real 'In' with the family, working up to an open-and-shut case. ’ "We’ve got the case now!" snapped Haggerty. "Gladys, be at Hayden and Hayden's office at nine in the morning. I’ll catch the noon edition with tha story of the suit. "Listen, Haggerty," pleaded Bill, •give me one week and I guarantee to have Connie Allcnbury in a real * P "Not a chance! She walked out on you twice. I’m beginning to think you have lost your touch . . . Goodnight, Gladys. Don't be late at the lawyers’.” He wafted Gladys a kiss
and hurried out.
“That’s Warren for you,” she murmured. "Crazy about me, but i how he conceals it! But what's the
matter with t/ouf”
“I can't make Haggerty out, can understand his casting me to j the dogs for the paper, but when ) he does It to the woman he loves I . . , Why, If he goes through with i this, by night wo’ll all be in Jail,” ■T don’t get you, Bill. It's the plan

Bill lose to her mood, pinched her check and said with mock terd*m«M: "Oh, no, my Fuz*y-Wugfcy needs her sleep — ” She smiled at him flirtatiously. “You’re cute when you do that." Bill ignored that assumption of a tender relationship and completed his sentence: ‘To I'll say goodnight, Mrs. Chandler." He kissed her hand, surprised a soft look In her eyes, and turned to leave. “I'm out.

“Air?” she repeated with a blank
expression.

She stopped the rubbing abruptly. 'Til get the cologne." “No, It’s not that kind of 1 ne.omnla," said Bill and went on In extravagant explanation: "Same people respond to rub-a-dub on the forehead; others drop off to nrjaiev but I’m a horse's-hoof man — ” He got his hat and moved swift'y towards the door, thinking it high time to make his escape.

him.
