In Pulttc Lttocr Co. CHAPTER IV SCOTT found her where ho had Jfcft her when ho returned half an hour later. He was flushed with the cold, and he emlled a though nothing at all had happened. "You should havo eomo with me," he remarked, sluing down beside her on the couch. Iluth noticed that he did not oiler her any endearment, therefore she knew that there was a breach between them In splto of tho fit mat he avoided 'speaking of what had occurred. She did not anewef and he pretended hot to notlcej which precipitated matters. "Scott, we might Just ns well settle things," she burst out. "I thought we had." "You know, we haven't. What are we going to do, give up the affair?" 'I don't know." He was calm and supposedly uninter ested; she was trembling with nervous ness. Her control was not as good as hie, therefore she artrays gave way first. Suddenly she began to cry. "Wo are always having misunderstandings late ly," she sobbed, "I don't see why." "Neither do I, sweetheart," he said, taking her In his arms. You used to agree with mo before we were married," she went on, knowing that Bbe was losing her dignity, knowing that she was not advancing any convinc ing argument, floundering derperately In her effort to get her own way. The thing had advanced to the point whero he knew that If she gave In this time there would never bo another Instance where" she could prevent these people from coming to the apartment. Scott did not answer, simply stroked her hair: and angrily she .drew away. "You pretend to care about mo and yet you purposely make trie miserable," she flamed childishly. 'Ruth, you know better than that." Then why do you do It?" "You want me to tell you that I was wrong to insist upon having my friends hens at the- house, and td withdraw my right to asking them?" ,yYes, lf l don,t want tIlE,n. 1 Con'1 llW-them, what possible use Is there In making friends of them?" "You don't seem to realize that al though yl may not like them, I do; that although you aon't care about having them for friends, I do." 'But If we have them at the house It will mean that I have to accept them, and I don't want to. Why can't you have them for frlenda without asking them here?" "I can." Ituth stopped crying. 'Oh, Scott, then vou are wlllng not to ha'io tnem hero and to havo the affair anyway?" Ruth's tone was glad. "Are you? Oh, darling, u'll find that we'll have a much bet ter time," and Instantly she began to chatter happily. .... . If Ruth had looked Into tne depths of Scott's heart then she, would have trem bled with; a new fear, for it was the heart of an alien. It was not bitter, Just cold with realization. He simply could not afford to ,go through these emo tional experiences with Ruth, these sor did arguments about trifles. Rather than do It he would give In, but there was Just one alternative. If they could not do thlngp together, then each would g6 ahead separately. Not to invito friends of his own choosing to h's home made him not a free agent there. Cer tainly matters were not adjusting them selves very well, but he could not hold out to a point of quarreling about a thing. It would be far better to give In kt onco. ... When marriage for the first time forges a chain on a man, and he recog nizes It as such, when in any way he feels himself limited and not a free agent, then for the first time does he resent the marriage tie. Women as a rule do not know this; they count their petty victories triumphantly, forgetting tho real principle thnt underlies them Just as Ruth did. For the tlmo the only thing that counted was fhe ono fact that she did not wish to Invite these friends of Scott to the house. He had given In, and her affair was to be of her own choosing, but what of the wall that her attitude, had erected between them? What of the fact that in tho future Scott would keep everything that had to do with his friendships to himself? Scott wap not the type of man to give up a friend for any reason sao lack of friendship. Ruth was simply forcing him to havo his friendships and everything that proceeded from them entirely apart from her, which Is always a bad thing. Once having gained tho victory Ruth was anxious to atone In (i hundred smnli ways. iho was anx'ous to wipe out tho Impression Scott must have received from her lose of temper, she found It hard to regain her self-respect, she kept thinking bf her tears and the foolish things she had said and wondered If Scott remembered them kbiui ner. They went out to the kitchen to gether for sandwiches mm nut on the tiny kitchen table to eat them as usual ; but In spite of the fact that there was really' nothing that Ruth could put her hand on things were not the BameJ something, .no matter how Infinitesimal, had been taken out of their mutual un derstanding,, Ruth had lost virtually all that Bhe had gained In her effort to bo tolerant that time In the country; she had forgotten to extend her tolerance to people as well as things.

In fact, she de spised all rnnlnes. When khakl- rhid Ross, her beau, had excitedly an nounced ono week-end that Mobbs, a brother officer nt 11 -, had made him a gift of two wee nunnlcs. Kmlly re ceived tho news n frigid silence. The puppies were nnmed Peter and Pansy, I, her Intense disgust. Then, to can tho climax, on thnt Inst memorable day together. Ross had'sald, as he lifted a wriggling form from with in a capac'ous basket: "Dear, Pansy died vesterday. I'm leaving Peter with you " Young as he was, Peter Bensed the tender note nnd yelped appreciatively. Ross brushed his cheek nlonp the Bleek little body, then held It cupped In both hands. "I say. Km." h said, 'Doesn't the helplessness of tho 1'ttle tyke somehow get one?" "Put him down, Ross," said Umlly crossly, nnd turned away. Tho hours that ensued wero their ery own, on which even Peter dared not In trude, and It was evening when a tiny wh'mper from the basket made Kmlly again aware of Peter's officious pres ence. Her first thought was to turn him over to Morgan, the gardner. Hut Ross would not llko that. Frowning, she uncoered the basket. "Little benst," she said wrathfully. Peter did not like the epithet nnd was on tho point of growl'ng. He changed his mind, however, ond merely shiv ered, looking at her wistfully from out the corner of his eyes. Ono day, some weeks later, Kmlly. returning home unexpectedly, surprised Peter royally sleeping on the soft, B'lky bed puff In her bedroom. She was fu rious. Instinctively, Peter fled. The woodshed was about tho safest plnce ; he knew a dark corner where women could not crawl to. He supposed he ought to run far away, as other dogs did, but Miss Kmilv lived all alone, the Miss Kmlly way Id Peter "chloroform was chlo- "Ho's n nuisance, salng, "nnd If I had my way' I rororm mm. to soundi d dreadfully ominous. The Har dener's philosophical reply, howevir, cheered him. "Now, AI'ss Kmlly, he ain't n bad dog, really. Puppies always cause more or less trouble. Don't worry, Peter'U out grow It," The months went by rapidly. Letters did not come as regularly now from way off where Ross was, and some days Kmlly was sad and downcast. On these days Peter avoided her Rut when one dm come fine alternately laughed and cried. And she was gentle with him and called him "Petcrk'n." And ono d ly she actually neglect d to whip him when he overturned a jar of cream. Pe. ter guessed the letter contained glad tidings from "over theie"; he jcaught a phrnso occasionally between Miss Emily and tho gardener. "Cited for bravery Peter had a vague Idea what that meant. And It was Lieutenant Ross now, If you please. Thrills of pride ran up nnd down Peter's spine. One day Peter lay on tho mat at the woodshed door. Never since tho day htt had dnred sleep on Miss Kmlly's bed had ho been allowed within the house. Though tho noonday sun usually filtered through the door and on tht mat where Peter was wont to Imsk. the evenings now were chilly, and if only Miss Kmlly would forgive him he'd never so much ns peep at the dainty bed He sighed and blinked nt the sun nnd tried to find something to bo thankful for. To bo sure, ho was well fed somo dogs weren't ; ho supposed he ought to be thankful for that. He decided he was and dozed lazily, body stretched full length Suddenly a woman's scream smote the a'r. Potcr nrose, alert at onco What ever had he done now? He peeked out. a well-directed k'ck the man laid him flat Just as Morgan came Into view, brandishing a pitchfork. Peter wan counting stars as ho did at night on the mat at the woodshed door. Only It was painful work now, his head hurt so Ho was glnd when the Inst ono twinkled out Dimly he became awnro of Miss Kmlly's voice. And, oh I his head lay hi her lap. He tried to show his appreciation Miss Kmlly un derstood She stroked his head. 'Teter," she snld softlytenderly ; "I called you a benst one day, 'membrrT Oh, hut Peterklns, I'm dreadfully ashamed '" She put her flushed face close to his. She laughed shak'ly and for sin or Joy let him lick her hand. "Peter," she re sumed, "ou shall havo the softest downiest bed pult to He on and 1 shall tell Ross when ho comes home, which will be noon now. And and Pcteiklns, we're to be married " She hid her faco In his neck. For nnswer Peter snuggled close, his cold little nose Just touching Miss Km lly's soft, white neck, the wistful look 'n his eyes replaced by one of Intense happiness. For Peter was Indeed thank ful for many things. Tomorrow's complete) novelette "A Double Vlrtnrj."
