2nd St. Corbin Fostet Phone 1100 XXXXVI He made no reference the following day to her liquored outing, much less the greater transgression that it had encased. He waited to see if she would attempt to repeat it (in his mind some half-formed intent of following her and killing the man when he lound him but she did not. If a succeeding appointment had been made, it was not for that next day. She did not go out of the house that day, nor the day after that.

"Kive hundred dollars." he answered impatiently. "Have we got that "No," said docilely, 'but is there any harm in She pushed her plate back.

Or else it would perhaps yet turn up, in some unlikely place he had not yet thought of looking for it. He desisted finally, with no great concern; with, if anything, a mem- tal shrug. Since it "was worthless and could not have been borrowed against (which he thought had been the motive behind her asking about it), there was no great loss, in any case. He did not even mention to her that he could not locate it.
