SYNOPRIS
Dr. Davis, recently married to
2 1 Davis, is having lunch with
« Babbitt and his friend, Myra,
2 wen Babbitt is called ocway. Macy
happens into the same hotel and is
Jurious at seeing her husband with
a girl. After explanations, Davis
and May make up. Myra,
wasurally firtutious, decides to fur-
ther the acquaintance wf % Davis
ond goes to his office to be wacct-
saied. She is discovered by May
ana Beranger-de Brie, a perfumer,
who is returning some gloves May
left in his shop. Another quarrel;
another reconciliation. Davis is
“case,” only to find
Budoitt and Myra, who pretends
the voccination is hurting.
CHAPTER IX—Continued
- "Well, look. here, I've got to get
heme myself. / Joe, you can see
that Miss Pfeffer gets home all
right, can’t you?”
“Ill take her home, if she o likes,”
Ollie Lee put in.
“Do you want me to take you
home, darling?” Vivienne came
over and put her arm around
Myra.
“Oh, no thanks. Doctor, please
take me home. I need medical at-
tention—there’s something the
matter.” N
“There can’t be anything the
matter,” Davis put in brusquely.
“It’s taking it's natural course,
that’s all.”
“But you don’t know how it
hurts, doctor,” Myra answered
“Please take me home.”
“It’s simply ‘awful. Oh,
please take me home.”
“Look here, Joe,” Davis pulled
his friend aside and spoke in a
low tone. “I've got to get home
right away, and that's all there is
to it. I'm in bad enough now as it
iy, and May’s on the war path. I
can’t take this girl home. There's
nothing the matter with her—she’ll
be all right in a day or so. See if
you can’t persuade her.”
“S Ed,” Babbitt nodded sym-
Sure,
pathetically. “Look here, Myra.”
He turned to tue girl. “We'll all
take you home right away, if you
want to go. It’s a damned shame,
but if you feel sick why—"
“Oh, no—no—I won't break up
the party. Please doctor, if you'll
Jus . ¢rop me at my house—”
“ “Ju might as well take her,”
Joe & nnounced. “She won't go
with us—"’
‘all right,” Davis growled. “Here,
get your coat on.” He held up-the
cloak and threw it over Mpyra’s
shoulders. “Won't do you any good
to catch cold with a vaccination.
Button it up around your throat.”
“Thank you, doctor,” Myra Te-
turned submissively. Swaying
slightly, she rose and gathered
about her the coat that Dr. Davis
was holding.
“I'm terribly sorry,” she mur-
mured to the others around the
table, “but I'm too sick to stay any
longer. I'll feel much better when
1 get out in the air.”
“Are you sure there's nothing I
can do for you, dear,” Vivienne
asked solicitously. But there was
a peculiar, cold gleam in her green-
ish eyes and the tiniest trace of
mockery in her voice. Vivienne
felt pretty certair that sie saw
through Myra’s bit of play-acting.
“Would you like me to come along
with you?” she added.
“No—Oh, no, thank you just the
game, dear,” Myra answered quick-
ly. “I want to be quiet.”
“1 understand,” Vivienne mur-
mured.
Myra sent a warning glance from
beneath lowered eyelids, but said
mothing.
“Well, are you ready?’ Davis
broke in impatiently. “I've got to
hurry—"
“I'm so sorry to put you to all
this - trouble, Doctor,” Myra an-
swered feebly. “But. I feel so much
gafer when I know that 1 ‘have

someone with me whro knew: what
to Go for ine. ‘Cood-bys,: every.
body,” she called feebly over a.r
shoulder. “Call me tomorrow,
Vivienne, will you?”
“I'll give you a ring about twelve,
dear,” Vivienze answered. Good
night, and I hope you'll feel better.”
“Good-night—good-night—"
As Myra and Davis went out the
door, Vivienne laughed softly.
“What are you laughing at, Viv?"
Babpitt turned to the girl, frown-
ing. ' “It’s a rotten shame Myrna
feels so bad. I didw’t know she'd
been vaccinated. Why, what's the
matter?” he looked from Vivienne
to Ollie Lee as he saw them both
grinning at each other.
“So you were on,
Vivienne giggled.
“On to what?” Babbitt persisted.
“I wouldn’t have been, if it hadn't
been for the way you talked, I
don’t think,” Ollie Lee returned.
“What're you talking about?”
Babbitt demanded.
“Oh, you poor, dear, simple soul,”
Vivienne answered. “Couldn’t you
gee that Myra was shamming?
“Shamming ?”’ Babbitt ‘was puze
zled.
“She’s no more sick than I am,”
the girl retorted.
“Well, but—what th’—didn’t she
have any vaccination?”
“Sure she did,” Vivienne ex-
plained. ‘She went to Dr. Davis's
office this afternoon and told him
a good story about having a case
of dyptheria or something next
door, and got him to vaccinate her.
But she’s all right. That was a
good bluff. I knew she was going
to try something when she let him
go so easily. I just couldn’t help
getting in my dirty digs—it was
so obvious.”
“Well, ‘I'll be blowed!”
whistled.
“Joe-y, dear,” Vivienne informed
him laughingly, ‘the longer you
live the less you'll ever understand
us gur-r-ls.”
too, Ollie,”-

CHAPTER X
As fast as her feet would carry
her, May ran to the garage around
the corner where she kept her own
little runabout. Nodding briefty to
the watchman on duty she found
her car, jumped in and backed it
out into the street. She started to
ask the watchman if he knew
where Sundon Street was, and then
dediced that discretion was the bet-
ter part of valor. If she was start-
ing on a wild-goose chase, there
was no need to divulge her destina-
tion to the man, who would be able
‘to tell her husband, in case he re-
turned and tried to find her where-
abouts, that she had asked about
this place. She stepped on the ace
celerator and sped off. does
Flying recklessly past street
corners, swerving around slower
moving motors, now edging along-
side a ear, now passing it, she went
on until she came to the more
crowded sections of the city.
Streets glittered brilliantly with
moving slogans of light, store win-
dows bright with electricity sped
past her, shuttered windows with
drawn blinds ' like closed = eyes
slumbered. At a’'convenient corner
May drew up and questioned the
traffic officer concerning Sundon
With the directions once in
her mind, she started off again, her
round, determined chin thrust
slightly forward.
I'll show him, she was repeating
to herself; I'll show Mr. Edward
Davis. There’s one thing I won’t
be and that’s deceived. It's cheap
and common. Well, maybe what
I'm doing’s cheap and common, but :
at least I'll know—there goes the
red light. Not time for hcavy
trafic yet; I ought to be there in
fifteen minntes. Ed must think I'm
a fool—there goes the green light.
But I've got to find out—I've sim-
ply got to find—Is that car going to
turn the corner—well, why doesn’t
he hold his hand out—that was a
narrow escape. I've got to find out
whether he’s really out with some-
one or not.
It’s silly, all this business of be-
ing jealous of someone, but I can’t
help it. I'm too much in love with
Ed, that’s the trouble—O, look,
that red light! Wonder how much
further this place is—wonder if it’s
villagey—no, too far over on the
East side for that. Maybe he’s not
there, anyhow, maybe he put that
address down just to fool me, may-
be—the green light. I ought to be
almost there by now. What if I do
find him with someone else—
what’m I going to do about it, any-
how? I do wish people wouldn't
cut 80 close when they drive—they
almost took that front fender with
them. Here's where I turn.
Down the side street she turned,
following the same route taken by
Davis earlier in the evening. At last
Sundon Street, and May pulled up
near fhe number she was seeking.
She leaned out of the window and
Jooked around. A Chinese restau-
rant, that was 528. Well’ it didn’t
look particularly inviting. What a
strange place to meet anyone. She
noted the cars parked along the
curb and inspected them. She sat
bolt upright. There was Ed’s car,
no mistaking it—she had carefully
memorized the license number. Seo
he was here, after all.
