Christine stood listening to tho sound

slam behind him.
But even then sho did not move : she
Just stood staring Into tho darkness, her

Sho would havo said that sho had

Suddenly sho covered her faco with her

"I call him an exceedingly nice man."
Jimmy's eyes (lashed.
"I suppose you'vo been encouraging
him to como here and dangle after my

Gladys looked at him unflinchingly.
"I thought I could trust you, too." she
said Herencly. "And apparently I waa
mistaken. YoU'vo spollid Christine's

"How daro you talk to mo llko that?"
She laughed. "I daro very well. I'm
not afraid of vou. Jimmy. I know too
much about you. Chrlstlno married you

Gladys frowned. "If you'ro going to
