It was therefore a surprise to John when she announced one morning at breakfast that the would like to go with him the next time be went to the city. be going down on the 20th for that Axtell case against the railroad, won't yoHiT" As John ventured no Immediate reply, Amy added: "I hope I shan't he a dead weight?" Their first evening In the city was spent at the theater, but the next morning John expressed doubt about being able to dine with Amy that night. That afternoon, Just as she had com pleted her purchases, she happened to meet an old-time friend of her moth er's family, Mrs. Marlow.

"My dear child," said that cordial woman, after their first greetings, you must come with me to dinner and go with us to hear that poet everybody Is raving about Wheless Raeburn, you know. After a quick 'trip to the hotel, where Amy left a note for John In case of his return, they were off to a delightful dinner. Mrs. Marlow's party arrived early at the duh meeting. Amy looked about In wide-eyed interest at the handsomely gowned women, the sleekly groomed men and the soft-footed attendants of tbe fashionable hotel in whose gilded parlors the gathering was held.

Suddenly her eyes filled with a look of pained surprise as she saw John enter with a handsome woman in an ultra-decollete gown of black satin which shimmered but little more than did her smooth black hair. She carried crimson roses. Amy found herself wondering If it could be a night mare instead of a reality. In a voice full of deep melody the poet read his verses poems of patriot ism, of ohlldhood, of love. Amy kept watch on John and his companion, who had taken seats half facing her.

With Mrs. Marlow's motherly bigness between them, Amy could see without being seen by John. "By George! This is a surprise, John. We were wishing for you at dinner, and Amy said she was sure you'd come out if you got the note she left for you In time." In his enthusiasm, Mr. Mar-low did not notice that, his words seemed to bring af look jaf perplexity Into his face.

"Amy?" he asked absently. "Where Is sher "Oh. In that maelstrom of hero worshipers and sycophants," Indicating the throng pressing about the poet Then, with sudden seriousness, he added: "Old boy, you're a lucky man to possess such a Jewel of a wife in these days when a truly balanced woman Is a distinct rarity. There's more than, woman in this very crowd whose husband neither knows knows nor cares where. Be is, and It's fake marriages like theirs that seriously undermine society.

You stay here and IH get our wives and we'll make a quick get-away." The handsome woman's expression changed from Indifference to interest and from Interest to enthusiasm as the poet's musical voice filled the room. John seemed discomfited, though Amy could not tell whether it was because of the woman's forgetfulness of his presence or from a desire to escape the whole thing. As the poet's voice died away, a babel of voices rose In delighted comment He was Surrounded and lionized by many, prominent and persistent among them being John's companion. Bored by the whole proceeding, John stepped Into an adjoining room and, as he would have it walked right into ponderous Cyrus Marlow, who had been detained In a committee meeting. Half an hour later, John and Amy were on their way to the hotel alone in the Marlow's limousine.

Amy held her head high and her lips shut tight, and John stared grimly ahead for some minutes before he spoke. "Amy," his voice was hoarse, his sentences abbreviated, "of course I deserve to be thrown off forever, but dont do it without hearing me. I've learned tonight what real values are. Most of all Fve learned the value of a woman like you. That woman is the wife of a railroad official who is much away from borne.

She was amused with my admiration until she caught that poet's eye. While Marlow was looking tor you she passed, out and bade me good night, saying that friends who live in the same apartment she does had Just room enough In their car for her and would not let her say no to then invitation. When I saw that the poet was also of the party, I understood, but didn't care. She had passed out of my life before that, for as I sat there and faced that crowd and thought of you left alone at that hotel I was ready to fight my way out of that room." "I was watching you, John," said the now relenting Amy, "and half way hoping that your discomfiture was not Jealousy over her forgetfulness of you. I waa hoping too that I might grow until I could fill your heart, for I've found today what a sorry, stupid companion Tve become." "Not a word like that," said John.

"Nobody, not even you, can malign the dearest woman on earth." (Copyright, IS1C. by the McClnre Newspa per ernaicaiaj Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
