Friends? They didn't need any friends. For the present they had each other enough !

For those pcoplo over thero were some of Amy's friends, no doubt, amused nt Joe and his young second wife, amus ed that Job had not had tho ncrvo to ask them to his wedding. Ethel' could feel liernelf burning Inside, , A EJ.8laH0 P0.1 t0 have asked them? Not What had they to do with It? What right had they, what hold on Joe? They had been a mighty poor lot of friends, with empty minds nnd money hearts, Just clothes nnd food, lato hours anti v(nol They had been dcldcdly bad for him. had drawn him off from his real work and plunged him Into the rush to be rich! A voice within her, from un derneath, wao asking, "Or wns It Amy?" nut sho paid no heed to that. It nsked, "Are ou sure they nro all bo bad? Have, yon taken tho trouble to And out?" Dut angrily she answered that she wanted frlcndB of her own, that Bho couldn't bo Jtiat a second wife. "I've got to bo all different, new I I'vo got to1 be and I will, I will 1" Sho swallowed flcrfoly. Dcsldcs, It wan what Joe needed, exactly ! Ho showed nlready what It had meant to be rlfl of sucrffrlemls I Had ho ever talked of Paris before, or hln dreams and ambitions or anything real? Dut tho "Voice retorted sharp and clear, "WhV hldo It then? Whv Int thin tnn. lsh, dangerouB habit of mevcr metitlnnlng Amys name Keep growing up between you and your husband? It may do a lot of harm, you know. Whut nro you afraid of?" Nothing whatever, Bho replied. She decided to speak of It thdn and here. She would be perfectly uatuial and usk him, "Who are your friends over there? Some people Amy used to know?" And sho gtoiv rigid nil nt once, Her throat contracted nnd folt dry. Angrily Bho bit her lip, Hut tho habit of silence was too strong. soon, with a carefully pleasant fimlle, she was at tending to IiIh talk nnd by her questions drawing out more and more of his Ufa nbrond, "His work," Bhe thought, "that's the strongest thing to hold hla mind away from those people." And hooii Bho had him talking of the Ueaux Acts, archi tecture, plans nnd "periods" nnd "styles," things sho wns qulto vague about, but sho did not hnvo to listen now. That was always so safe, sho told herself. She was even n little Jealous of this puzzling, engrossing worx, which could bo hold her husband'K mind. Sho frowned. That was ns It nhould be : a man's work was hltt own concern liut hln living, his home, what ho did nt night? "This can't go on, Bhe decided. "Thero will have to bo friends for both of us. I need them, too. Oh, how I need one woman friend I And where Bhall I find hcr7 Somewhere In this city thero must bo Just the peoplo I want If only I could reutih them !" And presently she wns saying aloud In n. lazy careless tone of oIce, "Sometimes I get wondorlng, Joe. If thero Isn't a Paris In Now York." Early one evening Joe came In with a sheath of roses In his arms, and when sho had exclaimed nt them and, breathed dop of their dewy fragrance he nent over and kissed her, and said a Jlttle huskily, , "I've got some big news for you, llt tlo wife. It's big. It's going to mean bo much." "What la It, Joe?" She Btarcd up Intently Into Ills eyes. Ho wns telling her ho hnd made money. He was telling how the approaching birth of their small Hon hnd made him feel he must put an end to these ups and downs, nnd how he hnd worked and racked his brains. He told of Heavy noi rowlng, of iinxIntiH weeks, of a wonder ful Htrokn of luck at Inst which not only mado him rich for the moment but opened tho way to wealth ahead. Ho was speaking of what thla would mean to them here. He knew how hard It had been tor her and how plucklly sho had come through without over risking for nnvthlng. But all that waa oer now. tin had made money! What was tho matter? She heard it al In fragments. tnpsv tllrvy What was wrong? "Hero Is a Joe I've, never known!" Still star ing up Into his eyes, she saw their strange exultant llghw tho excitement In hln husky volco struck Into hor Hep sltlvo enr nnd Jarred : and she nearly shrank from the clutch of his hand. Sho lay wondrlng why she wns not glad, till suddenly she saw in his face his sharp disappointment at tho wny sho was tak ing his news. With a pang of uUirm. sho roused herself nnd snld, "Oh, Joe, It's too wonderful ! It's so sudden It strikes mo all of a heap!" And sho laughed unsteadily, seized his hand and kissed it, talking rapidly, her eyes glistening all the while with foolish tears. Fiercely then alio asked herself. "Why can't ou enter In nnd tie gay?" But though Bhe waa doing better now nnd had him talking ns before, again nnd again she felt ho waH thinking how different Amy would have been how In an Instant, laughing nnd crying, she would have thrown h6rself Into his arms! Yes, Indeed, n Joo she had never known, shaped and molded by the wife who had had him in those early years when a woman can do so much with a man : can do what bets htm In a groove In work and living, tastes, Ideals. "Anil I thought I had done so much !" But Aniy'a hand had still hcen theie; he had been hr husband, nll'tho time1 It waa u relief to have him gone. Alone sho could think more clearly "What are you so frightened about'.' Of being rich, you little fool?" No, sho had always wanted that, money enough to forget it existed, money to open all tho doors. "But this money Is coming top soon! I'm not ready, I'm too young' And he'll expect so much of mo now. Thero'U be no excuse for holding back, for going slow til I find whnt I want Ho'll expect mo to find friends nt once ' But whero shall I find them nil of a sudden? It Isn't as though wo were millionaires, really big ones, all In a minute. Tho newspapers won't bo er excited : the town will take It quite calm ly quite ! And for tlle life of me I don't sen any1 friends rushing at us' And jet he'll expect it! So much he'll ciect ' He'll glvo nnd give and give me things and then wonder why I don't get nnj where!" Tho angry tears leaped In her eyes. "Because lio's different now. he's changed ! Alt bursting with his big suc cess, his 'strike,' his business mone mad ' Oh. how I hntc his business and that detestablo partner, too'1 A wave of rebellion swept ocr her at tho wny she had been caught, tangled Into tho life of a man and tho fortunes nt hln huslness. llut then she thought of the Bon Bhe had borne hlni, nnd this brought quick remorso and tears, rrom which she fell Into a. deep sleep. And when Bho awoke she found tho. nurse was waiting with the baby. And tho days which followed with their neace, their slow return of health and strength, brought assurance, too, and she laughed at herself for having been such a foolish child. "Who needs friends so all of n sud den?" , , But one dav Emily came In and grimly remarked: "There's a woman outside who owns this apartment." "What?" "She acts that way. She's walking 'round that sitting room picking things ui nnd putting things down" Bmlly'fc voice was rising Irr wrath. "Emily! Sh-h! Sho'll hear jou ' Who Is sho? Didn't sho clo her name'" "Hero's her name !' And Emily poked out n card, at which Ethel looked in a startled way. "Fanny Carr! Now why has sho come here 7" "Will you boo her or shall I tell her the Mat Is already runted?" "No rrol Emily don't bo rude' She's a friend of my my husband's '" And a few moments lator, propped up In bed with a pretty lace can on her head, Ethel was smiling nffably at her visitor, who was exclaiming; "My dear girl, I'm so glad to seo you again I So good of you letting mo In like this! I didn't have the least Idea' I didn't know of your baby I hadn't oven heard you were married ' I've been abroad for over a year I got bark to Now York only last week and hoard from ono of Joe's men friends of the luck he has had how his business Is simply booming along" It's perfectly gorgeous, Ethel dear, and I'm so glad for you. my child! When I heard the nowa " . Sho tallied on vlrnclously And Ethel lay back, her crnzn Intent dm Kitnnv'A handsotnd fcatuies. on her rlrh lips, her oyea with their curious color, gray green, that were so sparkling nnd nllve. u (continueiTtomourow) cev yWo pounds op .
