"I know Neil will feel that he should make every effort to find me," she thought, "but it'll be better if he doesn't succeed" . Joyce found it harder'to get a job than she had supposed. After install- ing herself in a cheap rooming -house under the name of "Florence Hilton" (to make it easier perhaps for. Neil to get his divorce) she set out to find employment. She took to reading the Want -Ads in the daily papers, but she could get up no interest in the kind of work they offered. Slie found thmat the lux- ury of living as .Mrs, Neil Packard had sapped her courage, and left her less able to face hard work and un- comfortable living conditions. Her xoom filled her with horror; she was acutely unhappy every moment she had to spend in it. she met the poet, Robert Ainsworth, She began to wonder what she and several times stopped for lunch would do when all her money was spent.

She de- termined to tell nobody of her • pre- dicament but set about learning what she could of her life in the interval. From the conversation of her friends and letters in her desk she gather"ed that she had been a heartless, pleasure- loving young woman. One letter that troubled her was from a woman: sign- ing herself as Sophie, blaming Frills for not giving 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 Francisco, where she went while her husband wasaway 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 dangerous, too for Neil was pathetically anxious to win back Frills' love. At his re- quest they call upon Neil's mother, whom Joyce finds adorable. Later, F. A.

She had but one conclusion to reach, and that was that he had failed her, that he had shown himself lacking in chivalry and courage, that perhaps .. he . did . not love her.

"What do you mean, weak-mind- ed? Excuse the Mrs. Packard, but I think there's a tall lot of explaining to be done somewhere!" Sam suddenly reddened, and look- ed at her with a mixture of appre- henison and determination. "Maybe it's none of my business, and all that, but—gee, I like you and Mr. Pack- ard both too much—" He stopped confusedly, and then shot at her a perplexing, question, "Why didn't' you want to come home when Miss Ab- bott told you Mr. Packard's mother had died?" Joyce stared at him in such hon- est bewilderment: that he was im- pressed. "Why, what on earth are you saying, Sam? What do you mean? Has Mrs. Packard died since —since I left? Of course I didn't know! I- haven't seen a soul from Manzanita! Tell me -please!" - Neil's mother—she knew how . fond he was of '' her :how he would grieve! Of course she must go to him at once. "Gee, that's h t's Sam .answer- ed, "Miss Abbott said -well, you see,; if was this way," he paused to collect his thoughts, "guess I'd bet- ter go back and tell you all that's happened since you left. When Mr. next morningand get Neil :came the your note he was about sick. He was sick anyway, looked terrible,, never saw him take on so ." Sam step- ped on the gas, a grim expression around his casually pleasant mouth.' "He sent for me right away, and I don't mind telling you that I told him all I knew:' He brightened a bit when he heard that I'd taken you to the Y. W. C. A. in the city, and we both went there right away, and missed you by just twenty minutes, the clerk said. We hung around all day, hoping you might come back for something you'd left. Then we came home. Mr. Neil was near crazy, what with him worrying about you and worring about his mother, who really was sicker than he'd let you know. . :' '•+ i,><;k:,t i. "Oh, Sam!" Joyce's misery shot her words through with pain. "Well, anyway, Mrs. Packard died four days afterward. Everyone felt terribly sorry for Ivir. Neil. That Miss Abbott seemed to come around an awful lot. No one knew anything. about you, but I guess a lot of gos- sip went rounds. Then just two days ago Roxie told me how she'd heard Miss Abbott telling Mr. Neil that she had seen you in -San Francisco the day before, that she'dtold you about Mr. Neil's mother dying, but that you'd said you were sorry but you couldn't come back to him." "011, Sam! did he believe her? You. don't suppose he really believed her?" "I dunno. It's hard for emen to know what you janes are pulling. But Roxie didn't. She said to me, 'Sam,' she said, `I don't trust that Miss Abbott. I'd have to hear them words from Mrs. Packard herself before I'd believe them, her having changed and goy so nice lately, and all—' " Sam paused in confusion. "Go on, Sam," sald Joyce, "It's all right," . "Well, so Roxie she said to me that'. I was to go to San Francisco and not to come back until I found you! So I came, and doggone if I d'idn't find you the second day-" "So Roxie believed in me!"' thou- ght Joyce, deeply touched. And al - olid she sa, " Bless h:er!

'The house seemed deserted when they arrived, and Joyce, who had been nerving herself for a reception by "the gang," felt tremendously re- lieved. She wanted a little time be- fore seeing anyone , even the faith- ful Roxie for whom . her heart was full of gratitude. She slipped quietly up to her bedroom, and stretched out on the bed, in tense silence, What next? What next? She had never felt less mistress of the ait- uation since she had found herself Frills Packard, Gradually, as night drew on, sire heard sounds: downstairs, and, ,along with pangs of hunger, slie relaxed somewhat and began to consider facing Neil Packard. She took a hasty bath, and dressed he self in one of the pretty frocks that still hung in her closet. It shocked her to notice how worn and haggard she looked; the life she had led in San Francis- co had -left it's mark.. Sam was standing by the door as Joyce camedown the wide stairs; he smiled at her with .a . return of the old friendliness, and then slip- ped out. She was left facing her husband All thought ..of .how she should met this situation vanished when she saw Neil. Such an intensity of unhappiness brooded over his face that "Joyce was instantly stabbed, and without a moments hesitation she ran toward him.

"I guess I was the died," he said gruffly, "to have believed Joyce Abbott. Gee, I didn't know women did that sort of thing to each other!"

In the previous century, plague was the great destroyer. It too. number- ed its' victims by the millions.. In the year 1665, no fewer than sixty- nine thousand deaths from plague oc- curred in London. On the continent, the deaths were considerably more numerous, and in one year, five hun- dred thousand people in the Venet- ion Republic succumbed. Nobody • living in the twentieth century regrets that these .scourges belong to the ;distant past. Small- pox has lost its terror, and plague is practically unknown where, sound health measures are practised.' The control of smallpox depends upon each succeeding generation's availing itself of the protection that vaccina- tion alone confers.
