seemed childishly simple compared with
Elsie's restless dipping into life.
That night nfter tho climax iu
Buth's own apartment, when Gene
and Elsie and Joe had had It out to
gether, Ruth had asked Scott to hunt
Gene up after dinner that evening.
When Bcott had arrived at the dingy
studio where Gene worked, he had
.1ound it empty. It continued to be
empty in the days that followed. Gene

It was Betty Lambert who reported

Betty was the fact that she was such
good sort to be with.
Betty grew thin and haggard through
worry. Ruth was worried, too, and
she tried her best to keep Betty's
jplrits up by being cheerful about
ivcrythlng.
"Betty, you know. Gene is too sen
flible to do anything foolish," she
trould argue.
"How do you know he Is?" Betty
would return. "You have no idea how
much he cared."
"Oh, yes I have; saw him when
Elsie told him she did not love him
enough." This would comfoit Betty
vaguely. She wanted to hope that
Geno was all right. That he had sim
ply buried himself because he did not
want to sei people until he had pulled
himself together somewhat.
This disappearance of Gene's cast
an unmistakable cloud over both Uuth
and Scott; they were able to thiilk of
nothing else. It was the first thing
that Ruth nsked Scott when he came
In the evening, whether anything had
been heard from Gene, and it was al
ways "no."
One morning, about 10 o'clock, the
bell rang sharply three times. It was
Gene's own ring, and Ruth rushed to
tho door eagerly, hoping against hope.
Imagine her surprise when she saw
standing outside Bob West. Of nil
people in the world the one she could
least expect.
"Why," she gasped and stepped
back, "where did you come from?
"I'm in New York on n business
trip and thought I'd stop in and have
a chat."
Ruth ushered him In and he looked
around appreciatively,, eager eyes on.
me sott colorings, me artistic placing
of tho few things in the big high-cell-Inged
room.
"Do joii like our place?"
"Do I? Why it's .great!" he re
turned, boyishly.
"I suppose you're interested In the
way this looks becnusc of your own
home," Ruth returned. "Do tell me
about it, and nbout .Inne. Of course
you're awfully happy?"
Did Ruth fancy It, or was It true
that a cloud pasied suddenly across
Bob's face. He responded so quickly
that she hardly knew which it was.
"Of course, I'm happy, and I think
she is. Of course, we do things dif
ferently out West from the way they
do here in New York, and she has a
lot to learn."
Ruth wondered ngain whether Boh
thought this himself or whether it wns
an echo of something his mother had
said. It sounded unlike Bnh; it
seemed a somewhnt priggish remark for
n man to mnke. Suddenly Ruth de
termined to pin him down.
"What no you mean, they no things
differently?" she pressed.
Ho flushed. Oh, you know, came
after n silence, ".Tnne has done as sjie

"What do you think, Hob.'"
"Oh. I don't know. At first I didn't
notice things, or else Jane was care

can't feel that mother is all wrong
You sec I've been brought up differ

has such lovely hair, if she would keep

out miserably, nnd he stopped aghast
at having gone so far and admitted so
much to Ruth.
