“Very good. Lifelike. Go to the head

“Come on, Baby, come clean! What's

Rocky sald coldly. “You seem very

Twisting her handkerchief reproach

to talk about your wife, I'm sure. And
you didn’t even write to her while you

“Don't worry. You'll be quite safe

She flushed. “I'm not afraid of

“You've got no reason to he”
Suddenly Doris eollapsed In a heap
of helpless laughter, Rocky looked at
her blankly. “What's so funny
“What Is this all about?”
He sat down smiling ruefully, “I'm

Rocky sald, “Well then, I think it's

“It Isn't very easy.”
“Well, we might as well be friends.”
Rocky smiled. His face—so like that

His white even teeth were a surprise,
As he spoke he put his arm around
Doris and lifted her to her feet.
Anger shook her. She jerked away,
“Is that your idea of being friends?”
He put his hand across his mouth,
patted his lips mockingly. Then he

Doris did not dare to look up from

Rocky changed the subject. “How's
the Memorial coming on, Dad?"
Oscar made an impolite noise. “Do
not switch the talk like that, my boy.
What do you eare about the Memorial?
You talk silly. Tonight we want to
hear where you and Doris plan to live.
I do not approve of New York. It Is
too noisy. The dust is bad for the chil

His wife was looking at him re
proachfully, It was evident that she
considered Oscar was being far from
delicate In alluding to the unborn chil
dren. Doris was so sensitive she had
never once mentioned the child to her
mother-in-law,
“Oh onl, you are always right,” said
Mrs. Du Val disgustedly, She caught
Doris’ embarrassed eye, and laughed
slightly, “You should not live In New
York"
“No, no,” said Rocky loudly. “Don't
want to live In New York.” His raised
voice gave such an odd effect that both
his parents stared at him in astonish.

effort he was making to keep up his

“We saw such a dear little house

“1 should think the salt water would

Doris laughed hysterically, The fish

“Ah,” sald Rocky, “I don't know when
I've eaten such fish.”
“The last time you were home, per.

“Ah Doris, protect him,” sald Mrs.
Du Val, “His father will spoil the

“He deserves it”

“Of course he deserves It. He runs

Mrs. Du Val's voice mourned:
“Doris is a beautiful young girl.”
She looked a sly and secret tender

house—a nice little house In Larch

“No. I did not tell you.”
