nnc nights, when Joe, as though In
delirium, said "things in a Jumblo which
revealed to her the Inner chaos ho had
gone- through In tho lost few weeltn.
Hp talked of Amy loyally, even plead
Ing for her at times, excusing her. And
he talked of Ethel In many moods. Now
he was angry at her Interference ; again
ho saw her side of It. and then his love
for her would rise. More often still ho
talked about work, and hero again ' the
struggle went on. Money, money, money
figures, calculations, schemes and ri
vals, heavy chances. But suddenly all this
was gone, and In a pitiful anger at his
pwn futility he would storm at himself
ror not being able to put on paper his
early dreams.
But the weeks dragged by. nnd at
last she felt ho was coming bnck to
sanity. With his partner, then, she
conspired to take Joo over to Paris In
April, to stay for a year If he would
agree. And as part of the conspiracy,
Mhel hnd soernl meetings with Xourse
and Sally Crothers. In the hope of
bringing Sally's husband Into the firm
to be there in Joe's absence. This was
far from easy, for Crothers naturally
held back: he did not care to commit
himself until he knew that Joe would
agree. And whether Joo would agreo
or not was by no means certain Watch
ing him as his health came back, Kthel
wondered how ho would be when he
