One morning two years later she woke, after a fall from her horse, her 'memory restored, to find herself, as Frills, the wife of Neil Packard, rich California fruit packer. She determined to tell nobody of her predicament hut set about learning What she could of her life in the in- terval. From the conversation of her friends and letters in her desk she gathered that she had been a heartless, pleasure -loving young wo- man. One letter that troubled her was from a woman signing herself Sophie, blaming Frills for not giv- ing a home to a baby Sophie was caring for. Could it be her baby Frills wondered! She also found 'herself involved in an affair with a man named Maitland. In San Fran- cisco, where she went while her hus- band was away on business, she met Robert Ainsworth, a poet whose work she had always admired. When Joyce returned home, she decided to be pleasanter to Neil than Frills had been. But this line was dan- gerous, too, for Neil was patheti- cally anxious to win back Frill's love. At his request they call upon Neil's mother, whom Joyce finds adorable. Later, she met the poet, Robert Ainsworth, and several times stop- ped for lunch at his cabin when she was horseback riding. One day he started to make love to her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY e=im=t. Ainsworth lifted her head, put his hand under her chin and stared down into her face. Joyce's whirl of hap- piness filled her so full of emotion that she could not hold it all and a little of it spilled over in tears. Her heart beat in rapid accord with the violent beats which she could plain- ly feel thumping in Robert Ains- worth's breast. He bent down then and kissed her eyes anct her lips. At first, just lightly, almost in playful caress; but again and again, and each time a little harder, a little more intensely—until finally, his mouth crushed down on hers and it was as if she were lifted out of her- self and had lost her identity. After a few moments he released her abruptly. Joyce, so weak, she had to lean against the bookshelves to keep herself from falling, watch - THE McKILLOP MUTUAL Fire Insurance Company Head Office, Seaforth, Ont. President, George McCartney, R.R.

At last however, she drew herself away and stood up, straightening her silk blouse with nervous hands and hastily combing her hair, which Ainsworth's caresses had rumpled. As she stood in front of the mirror, he came up behind her and put his arms gently around her body again. His eyes met hers in the glass. He was so much taller than Joyce that his chin rested on the top of her curly yellow head. She leaned back against him, suddenly aware of the fact that she was almost limp with fatigue after the emotional storm she had passed through, and smiled into the mirror. At that, he whirl- ed her around and crushing her to him again buried his face in her neck. "Oh, . . . dearest . . . most beautiful, , . ," She put her arms around his shoulders and whispered shyly, "Oh, am I all that to you?" "Ana so much more that I can't put into words!" he murmured, kiss- ing the tip of her ear.... After a while Joyce was able to put on her hat and then, with his little shack on the lonely hillside. arm around ,her, they set out to 'Before the next afternoon she was walk to the car through the woods, torn by such longing to see Robert that she set out for Neil's mother's horse in dragging rebellion.

At breakfast the next morning Neil glanced at her and said, frown- ing anxiously, "Didn't you sleep Frills? You look kind of pale and dragged out this returning, dear." Joyce's nerves were on edge after her stormy night and Neil's con- cerned tone struck her almost like a blow. To her horror she felt her eyes fill with a quick rush of tears, The worried look on his face deep- ened. "Why, sweetheart, what's the matter? Aren't you well? Does, your head ache? Why didn't you stay in bed?" "Oh, I'm so 'sorry," exclaimed Joyce, "I'll go tomorrow and spend the afternoon with her. I've . . . I know I've neglected her lately." "Darling, that's sweet of you . . . I wish . . . I wonder . . . Frills, what the devil Can 1 do to . . . win you back? Isn't there any chance for me?" "Oh, please, Neil, don't!" cried Joyce, "don't start that again . . . Come on, we'll be late and you know Mrs. Carter likes to begin on time when she's giving a theatre party afterwards. Most parties in Manzamita .had a way of splitting up into couples, and Joyce found herself taken in charge by her dinner partner when they afterwards set out for the theatre.

He smok- ed furiously, Joyce, feeling her knees trembling, sat down on the arm of one .of the big redwood chairs and listened silently. "But you see, Dickie, damn it, I've been living here all alone for months and months, and a man gets to fooling himself with his smart delusion that he's self-suffi- cient, that the 1lid is on good and tight—until, suddenly, along comes a girl, not just an (ordinary girl, you know, Dickie, but ;one with sweet- ness and beauty and intelligence, worth leaned against it with his arms still around her .and gave her a final kiss. "Can't I do the calling next time? We've got some serious talking to do about this situation of ours. Tell me w.here this mysterious aunt of yours lives!" Joyce dropped her eyes suddenly. "Oh—please loth leave things' as they are!" All at once she realized the am- biguousness of her posttlon. "rn comb again in a day or two." She was thankful for the uncon- ventional slant that made him an- swer cheerfully, "Oh, all right. I have to go up to the city for a day or two. I think it's next Tuesday." "Oh no, don't . . „dont 'stay away long," begged Joyce. "But you'll come before I go? Good Lord, its four whole days till then!" Even though ,she knew it was late, Joyce drove home slowly. It was maddening to have to go out to dinner at the Carters'. It was to be a more or less formal af- fair followed by a "theatre party." Both Mr. and Mrs. Carter were de* voted to 'Neil, hut their aversion to Frills was, only thinly veiled. When (she was ready to go, Joyce sat at her dressing table and stared dreamily at herself, wondering what Robert would think of her now. "You're looking ,stunning tonight, Frills!" Neil had come up behind her •and interupted her dreaming. Joyce started at his words and bluehed furiously, partly itt a sort constant sense of frustration. "I wonder whether something is going wrong in the business," Mrs. Packard remarked in the course of the afternoon, "Neil hasn't been himself lately." "I don't know." replied Joyce, "he hasn't said anything to me and I think the business is all right." She knew only too well what was the cause ef Neil's depression but she could not tell his mother. "Please don't worry about Neil too murk," she said gently, "I feel sure this is just a temporary thing. There may be some business deal in the air that Neil is brooding over a tit- tle. He'll come out all right." Mrs. Packard looked as if she were grateful for Joyce's effort to relieve her mind but not wholly con- vinced that the matter was so simple as it sounded. When Neil arrived, Joyce insisted on their leaving shortly after. All the way home she could not get out of her mind that one significant moment when the pinched grayness of Mrs. Packard's face had struck her. "Mother sure looked tired, dide't she?" remarked Neil as they drove home. "How.was she during the af- ternoon? Did she tt1lk 'much?" "A little less than usual, 1 think. It seemed to exhaust her. Neil, she's worrying about you. She thinks something is . . ." They were both silent. Joyce did not dare ask what it was that was troubling him because she felt so sure she knew. Joyce lay awake a long time that night seeing the situation with an appalling clearness, from every point of view. "I was ready enough to condetnn Pril1 or treating Neil the way she did. 1 was disgusted at her for having' an affair with Maitland. And now, just because Robert Ainsworth seems to me to be worth a .million Arthur lVfaitlands, it doesn't make any real .clifference.

Joyce buried her face in But Joyce swallowed the lump in her throat and summoning all her elf -control she answered quickly, "Oh, I'll be all right. I just didn't sleep very well." "Well, you'd better table a nap to- day sometime. What are you &tinge anything special?" he went on. 'Ne, I . . . guess not. I'm going to rim out to your mother's for a few minutes about noon and take her some magazines and hooks. I may ride this afternoon."
