If she made up her mind to take a man she'd stick at nothing and Dudley is susceptible and, nlo:eover, suffering from the swell- ed head of the successful young mall. Still, let us be Englishand and not assume his guilt until it is proved." She drew the younger gut's chest- nut head on to her breast, and her face, above Anne's bright locks, was tragic in its loo kof suffering. "But you—you aren't married, Chain—You can't know what it feel; like—" Anne sobbed, her tears breaking out anew. "Can't I?" was the startling swer. "Oh., Anne, how Nitro y know.

":But this is not th kind of talk to cheer you up, Anne I don't want you to break you, heart over what ;lp;ay be nothing but surmise. Come and loox at a per- fectly enchanting litter of kittens which 'Cookie's pet Tabby introduc- ed in the kitchen the other day, If anything can crake you smile against your will it is a kitchen, and these are most adorable specimens.'' In the bright little kitchen, under the benign surveillance of Chris- tine'scook Anne spent the next few minutest admiring four enchanting bundles of fur while the kettle sang in the old-fashioned way upon the hob, and Christine and Cookie talked about French cooking and -the strange Russian dishes introduced by exiles from that unsettled country, deciding finally that Mulish cooking was best after all. "All the rest are amusing exper ments, but one comes back to goo honest British fare in the end wit relief," Christine prollonced. " W must go Anne, this is the hoe when cook's pet policeman conies t have tea with her and he's sure t turn up. We'll ,sit in estate in th lounge." Leaving Cookie chuckling in (le light the two girls made their way to the other room, when just as the were crossing the hall the front lel rang. They parted from each other only one of their new friends Anne with a secret reluctance, though really liked, a very clever and very knowing that between two who had fascinating woman, who for year's spoken with such frankness further acquaintance would have been em- barrassing.Anne thanked him very sweetly as they parted and he, too, felt a strange wishfulness because in all probability he would never see her again—they did not even know each other's names. It had been a strange interlude in the great drama called Life. CHOPTER II. The Fallen Idol, !Perhaps because she was ex- hausted with emotion, Anne slept dreamlessly that night. (Her awakening, however, was of miery. It wa her firt experience of real trouble, and she was young enough to rebel against it fiercely. Her one idea was to rush off some- where—anywhere, as long as it was to fresh environment where every- thing would not remind her of Dudley. She had cared for him so deeply, had worked for him, had made all those hundrde-and-one sacrifices which wives know so well and which husbands sgm,etitnes never even realise are made She had helped him over his play, and in spits of all all her humanity, she knew the dialogue of Four Wise Meir owed everything to her. And, after all that, after all they had gone through of effort and struggle and achievement, Dudley had left her, a lie on his lips, for a woman Anne had instinctively rao- ognised as an enmy. The flat, achieved so proudly, had now become hateful. She could not stay 1n it. She went to the tele- phone—instrument of fate —• and rang up her friend •Christine Murray. "Can I come over to lunch, Chris I want to see you badly. Thanks, I'll be along then. Will anyone else be there Oh good, I'm glad you'lI he alone." !Christine Murray was almost i supported herself in comparative luxury by the earnings of her bril- liant pen, Without being a genius, she knew how to turn out what are known as "best sellers," and not a year passed that a book bearing hernom-de-plumeno-de-plume did not appear on the market, to be hailed with rapture i,y the fiction -reading public. Smart and up-to-date, she present- ed an attractive apeparance, and her flat was the happy hunting -ground at all sorts and conditions of people who likely her hospitality and ea- joyed her original conversation. From the first she had liked Anne. With her observant eye she hail taken Dudley's gauge correctly, and suspected, as no one else did, that Anne's were the real brains .in that menage, When Anne arrived, with a tragic look in her grey eyes, Christine's, thoughts flew to Celia Carnock. She was almost prepared for Anne's tale of woe. She listened to it, however, with a face in which she looked up all ex- pression, life had taught her direc- tion ;rl, "First, Anne dear," she said briskly, "we must consider that even now we do not know for certain Dudley has gone to Paris with Celia. He is by no means her only man friend.

Chris asked, looking at the other, then, before Anne could reply, she went on briskly: -'It will do you good to have someone to talk to. tVe shan't get sentimental with a third person ¢lre'sent. I'll answer the door." .Anne strolled into the comfort- able lounge with its many flowers, its easy chairs that were really easy, its charming colouring and soft grey carpet.

"Anne, meet my great friend— Ivor Loring," began Chris, then, as she turned to the man and saw the look on his face she exclaimed: "Why, you know each other," "We have met before," Ivor said gravely, seeing that Anne was too taken aback to explain, "I am glad to renew our acquaintance;' There was, real pleasure in ids kindly tone, but the girl told herself he was assuming It to put her at her ease, she was so taken, aback that she felt quite awkward, with him.

"I returned on Friday, so you see I've not wasted much time in com- ing to you," he returned with that delightful smile which changed his strong face into such an attractive one. "I've been to see the old people in Richmond—my mother swears I've grown since she saw me last.' 'He turned courteously to Anne.
