"Substantially correct," h* answered
coolly.
"Bill, how could you?" *h« cried.
"It'a simply disgraceful. Brawling ln
public like any saloon loafer, and get-
ting In Jail and all. IIav*n't you any
consideration for me—any pride?"
"Y**." he *aid deliberately. "I have.
Pride in my word a* a man. A sort
of pride that won't allow any bunch
of Illy-fingered crook* to make me a
party to any dirty deal. I don't pro-
!«i*e to get the worst of It In that way.
I won't allow myself to be tarred with
their iitlck."
"But they're not trying to give you
the worst of It," she burst out. Visions
of utter humiliation arose to confront
nnd madden her. "You've insulted ami
nbnited our best friends—to say noth-
| Ing of giving us all the benefit of news-
paper scandal. We'll be notorious I"
"Best friend*? C od save the mark I"
he snorted contemptuously. "Our best
friends, as you pleuse to call them, are
crooks, thieves and liars. They're rot-
ten. They stink with their morul rot-
tenness. And they have the gall to
call It good business."
"Just because their business meth-
od* don't agree with your peculiar
ideas I* no reason why you should call
names," she flared. "Mr. Brooks called
Just after you left at noon. He told
me something about this, and ensured
me that you would find yourself mis-
taken If you'd only take pains to think
It over. I don't believe such men as
they lire would stoop to unythlng
crooked."
"So Brooks come around to talk It
over with you, eh?" Bill sneered. "Told
"But we must talk about It," be per-
sisted patiently. "You can't get to the
bottom of anything without more or ,
le*s talk."
"Talk to yourself. tb n," she retort-
ed ungraciously. And with that she
ran out of tbe room.
But she had forgotten or onderestl- I
mated the catlike quickness of ber
man. He caught ber ln tbe doorway,
and the grip of his finger* on her arm
brought a cry of pain.
"Forgive me. I didn't mean to'

girl. Haeel, and let's get our feet on
earth ngain. Hit down and put your ;
arm around my neck and be my pal,
like you used to be. We've got no
business nursing any crime. I've only
stood for a square deal. Come on;
bury the hatchet, little person."
"Let me go," she sobbed, struggling
to be free. "I b-hate you!"
"I'lease, little person. I can't eat
bumble pie more than once or twice."
"Let me go," she panted. "I don't
want you to touch me."
"Listen to me," he said sternly.

"Thank God there Isn't one!" she
muttered.
"Ah. well," BUI sighed, "I guess
there 1* no use. I guess we can't get
together on anything. There doesn't
seem to be any give-and-take between
us any longer."
He rose and walked to tbe door.
With his hand on the knob, he turned.
"I have fixed things at tbe bank for
you," he said abruptly.
Then be walked out. without wait-
ing for an answer.
She heard the soft whir of the ele-
vator. A minute later she saw him on
tbe sidewalk. He bad an overcoat on
his arm, a suitcase ln bis hand. She
suw him lift a finger to halt a pass-
ing car.
It seemed incredible that he should
go like that. Surely he would come
back at noon or nt dinner time. She
had always felt that under bis gentle
Ueve that we have made such a mis-
take. I don't 'hlnk that honestly nnd

CHAPTER XVII.
A Letter From Bill.
All through the long night she lay
awake, struggling with the incredible
fact that Bill hud left her; trying to
i.bsolve herself from blame; flaring up
In unger ut his uuyleiding attitude,
eveu while she was sorely conscious
thut she herself had been stubbornly
unyielding. If he had truly loved her,
she reiterated, he would never huve
made It an Issue between them. But
thnt was like a man—to insist on his
own desires being made paramount;
to blunder on headlong, no matter
what antagonism* he aroused. And
he was completely ln the wrong, she
reasserted.
She recapitulated It all. Through
the winter he had consistently with-
drawn Into his shell. For her friends
and for most of her pleasures he hnd
nt best exhibited only tolerance. And
he had ended by outraging both them
and her, nnd on top of that demanded
that she turn her back at twenty-four
hours' notice, on Granville nnd nil Its
associations nnd follow him Into a wil-
derness that she dreaded. She had
full right to her resentment. As his
partner In the chancy enterprise of
marriage were not her feelings nnd de-
sires entitled to equal consideration?
He hnd n*sumed the role of dictator.
And she hud revolted. Thnt wu* all.
She was Justified.
