Another quarrel; -another reconciliation. Davis receives a up osedly professional call and finds Myra and Babbitt with Iriends. As he telephones May a plano begins to play. CHAPTER IX—Continued “Ed Davis, you're not at any pa- tient’s house, I know that. I can hear that music just as plain— they're playing ‘Darktown Strut- ters’ Ball’ and I know it. ‘Where are you?” “At the patient’s house, darling.” He was in for it now, he reflected. ‘And just after they had got every- thing patched up. “I can hear the music, too. “I think it’s a parade going on outside—yes, that’s it, it’s & parade passing, dear.” “Ed Davis, you're the world’s big- gest liar!” With a bang she hung the receiver on the hook. A parade passing! Did he take her for an absolute idiot? Goodness only ' knew where he was. She tapped She hung up on him. her foot angrily. Trying to make her believe that silly rot. She hadn’t been born yesterday. He was probably out—out with that girl, that was it. She spat the words out vehemently to herself. And after all that he had. promised. And she had forgiven him. Prob- ably thought he could put anything over on her, now. She’d been too easy. But where had he gone? She tried to remember the telephone conversation—tried to recall the number he had repeated. That might give her some idea as to his whereabouts. Sundon street, that was it—Sundon street, but what number? She wrinkled her fore- head, thinking. She glanced down at the telephone pad. There it was. 528 Sundon street. Just where Ed had written it. Well, sh’d soon make him smart. Sundon street— the other side of town. She got up and started into the hall in search of her hat and coat. She stopped. Suppose the call had been a ruse—as she believed, now, it was. Had Ed been in on the secret—had he known ‘that someone was going to call him that evening so that he could get out of the house to—to meet that—that woman? If she had known any other words to call her, May told herself, she’d apply them with great satisfaction. Pity she didn’t know any others. It would cer- tainly relieve her feelings. But if the call had been what she believed it was and Ed kad known about it, would he have taken down the cor- rect number of his destination? “ wouldn’t he have faked it?. She pondered the possibilities. The clock in the living room struck ten-thirty. She was wasting time standing here. She was going to find out a few things for herself and pay Mr. Davis back in his own coin. But suppose there was no such place as 528 Sundon street. ‘Well, that was the only clue she bad to go on and she might just as - well use it. If there were no such place, she’d have something on him, anyhow. She rushed out into the hall and caught the elevator down. As Davis stood there, the music | sounding in one ear and May's | angry voice in the other, he was debating as to what to do next. “Now, listen. May,” he was stalling for time. “If you'll only wait a minute—"’ Then he heard the sharp click of the receiver. ‘“May—May,” for it.” Miserably Davis walked across the room to the table he had left. He'd collect his hat and bag and leave, that was all there was io that. But clutching arms caugh at him; laughing voices drowne out his protests. He was pushed back into his chair. “Well, is the worst over, Papa?” Myra chirped. “Tell Mamma all about.” She patted his hand, laugh- ing. “All set, EA?” Joe Babbitt put in. “Here’s your drink—ready and waiting.” He pushed a glass across the table. “Oh, let me alone,” Davis mut- tered. “I'm going home. I've got to? “Won't your wife let you stay out?” Vivienne asked, sticky-sweet, the cat’s claws gleaming. “My wife has nothing to do with it,” Davis returned sharply. “Maybe you all think this was a sweet joke —calling me down here like this, but it’s no joke to me. I've got work to do.” ! “Bunkum, Ed, can’t you have a little fun?” Babbitt interrupted. “We only wanted to have a little fun.” “I'm sorry, Joe,” Davis apolo- gized, slightly ashamed of his out- burst. He liked Joe—they had had lots of good times together as bachelors, and even after Joe had married they had gone on, having their good times. It would have meant nothing in the old days for Joe to play this kind of a trick. But somehow, now, it was different. He wasn’t a bacheler any mors, and he wasn’t interested in anyone but May. Other women bored Lim. “Now you let the poor dear alone,” Myra turned on Babbit. “If he has to go home, he has to go home, and that’s all there is to it. I won’t have you pestering him to death. He’s a model for all of you, if you'd like to know it.” “Well, since when have you been championing model husbands?” Vivienne looked across the table, smiling. Babbitt stared in amazement. That didn’t sound like Myra—not by a long shot. But Myra was paying no atten- tion to the others at the table. Like the goat who ate the red suirts off the line, she had a scheme back in her brain. In fact, she cooing a good-bye to the doctor, and telling him how sorry she was that they had bothered him, and how she hoped everything would be all right. Now that he was slipping away with so little fuss, Davis was regret- ting his seeming bad manners and his outburst of the moment. “Please don’t think I'm a wet blanket,” he smiled. “I've had a pretty rotten day, and I didn’t want to go out this evening.” “>Sall>- right, = Ed,” Babbitt grinned. “I should-have known bet- ter, anyhow.” “Well, good bye, everybody. Have a good time for me.” Davis started towards the door. Suddenly Myra clutched at the edge of the table. ‘“Oh-h-h!” she moaned. “My vaccination—I—I think I'm going to be sick!” She bit her lower lip as though to stifle her cry. “Here, what’s the matter?” Bab- bitt jumped up and caught hold of Myra’s shoulder. “What’s hap- pened?” “I—Oh, it’s that vaccination—it’s making me terribly sick—I—I, Oh, I think I'm going to faint—Oh-h-h!” “Here, wait!” Babbitt, whites faced, looked around. “Ed!” she called. “Ed, wait a minute!” He rushed to the top of the stairs and shouted after the descending figure of the doctor. “Ed, come back here a minute. Myra's beastly sick— vaccination or something—hurry upl? Davis turned around at the sound of Babbitt’s voice and then as cended the stairs. “What is it, Joe? What's the matter?” he asked. : “Myra’s sick,” Babbitt pulled his friend back into the room. “Says it’s a vaccination or something.” “Sick?” Davis frowned, but he went quickly to Myra. “What's the matter, Miss Pfeffer?” he de- manded. “I—Oh, I don’t know. It's my vaccination—it hurts terribly. Oh, I want to go home. Please do something for it, doctor.” . She looked up, her eyes .filled with tears. “How long’s it been hurting,” Davis questioned. “All afternoon,” Myra answered miserably. “But I thought if I came out on a party I might forget about it. It got better for a while, but now—Oh-h-h! It hurts. I want to go home¥ : “All vaccinations, if they're go. ing to take, are liable to hurt?” Davis told her coldly. “You ought to have stayed in bed if it felt that bad.” “I suppose so—but I didn’t, and it’s terrible.” Myra was almost cry- ing ; Well, you'd better get on home.” “Oh, doctor, take me home— { he called. Only the vacant buzzing | of a disconnected line met his ears. { INSTALLMENT FIFTEEN please!” she begged. (To be continued.) “Wow! She's cut off. Now I'm in | Mrs. Howard Crosby, Mr. and Mrs. H. Li.
