“I happen to live here too."

“But. my funlly peys the rent!" blnsd Carolyn.

"M handksrchlsfa hang out in my c ifforobe. Where else would I have taken her?"

"phi" cried Carolyn furiously. "What is the use?"

She turned her beck. She walked swiftly down the hall, her heel: clicking. She stopped in her room and collected her pajama: and dressing gown. Then she went into the [pare bedroom and slammed the door behind her.

Having elected to sleep sway from her husband once, Carolyn discovered that it was all but an impossibility to return to her orwn bod while he appeal-sq satisfied with the arrangement. She did not went to occupy the spare bed- room. she wanted to be with Beau. She kept lmlgining that if they were alone in the dark together she could creep into his ulna and beg him to be the wsy he used to be. Dsy after day she told herself that shs would swallow her pride l! it choked her and make a desper- ate effort to salvage their happiness Night after night when Beau coolly wished her goodnight outside the guest rocm door. Carolyn walked blindly 5-way frcm him and crawled inio the spare bed.

CHAPTER. XXVI

"Meanwhile, Vingie l: making hay while the sun shines.‘ Carolyn groaned to herself.

There was no doubt about that By Thanksgiving week Vingie and Beau were becoming a town scandal. Julia Webster felt it her maternal duty to call the matter to Carolyn’a attention.

“Do you realize that everybody is talking about your husband and Vlngle wright?" she demanded. "My, generation is more broad- minded than yours." said Carolyn coldly.

Madam Scott shook her head. "In my day women did something about it when they saw their hus- bands degenerating before their eyes."

"I am not my husband's keeper." Carolyn‘ said in a tart voice,

Her grandmother's black eyes flashed. “Women have always been and always will be held to account for their men's morals."

"It's not my job to go around plucking brands from the burning,“ Carolyn retorted bitterly,

"It i: if you're married to one“, insisted Madam Scott.

In spite of her protests, Carolyn wss only too eager to rescuo Beau from hi: plight. She merely did not know how to go about lt. She passionately wished that- they were back at the filling station. She thought yesrningly of the tourist cabin, She was, incredibly enough, homesick for the Bells.

"Bean's mother would never ap- prove of the way he's behaving." Carolyn muttered, although once she had had no patience with Hattie Bell for being strait-laced.

It had seemed to Carolyn too antique for Beau's mother to ob ject to hlghball: at a party. Even Cramp for ell hi: vulgarity had hi: opinion e! married couple: who trifled with others, Cerloyn had heard him expres: it. "Always seem- ed mighty 10w to me." he said, "if a man or his wife had to take-to cheating."

She had grown thinner that fall and her eyes looked panicky when she faced them in the mirror. Once Beau would have been distressed. But hi: protective instinct appeared to have gone into hiding. Carolyn her heart in her throat, made an experiment, She explained when Beau csrne in one night that she could not go to the dance at the club because she felt wretched.

"Too bad," drawled Beau and went wtihout her.

Carolyn cried herself into a head- ache. She walked the ﬂoor. One moment :he decided she hated Beau, the next :he was heartslck to feel his arms about her. She had succeeded in working herself into g’ mini-hysterical state when Beau returned shortly before mid- night. Csrolyn felt hopeful because he had not stayed out so late as usual, But it developed that Beau had come home only to make a fresh start.

"We're going over to Vingiek to scramble an egg or two." he ex- plained. "I just looked invto pick up that quart of Bacardi 1 bought yesterday."

Carolyn felt lbs hid reached her lknit. "We, meaning you and Vin- gie?" she demanded.

Besu gave her a level glance. “You haven't. any objection, have you?" he asked. hi: lips curling.

"Oh, no," said Carolyn with bit- ing sarcasm. “I'm. only your wife. Who em I to compete with Vlngle? Vingie draws alimony from two husbands. I couldn't hopeto outbid her."_

"We've come to this, have we!" alked Beau grimly.

Carolyn hated herself, but she was unable to stop. "You've given me every reason to think so." she

And so once more Carolyn went back to the old Scott mansion, Her apartment at the Wiltahire was dismantled of her personal posses- sions and subleased.

"Yﬂl-Yre well rid of the fellow?’ said her mother with severity. “l-Ie was impossible.‘

Her family and friends had the deepest sympathy for Carolyn and nothing except censure for Beau. She had told nobody what precipit- ateﬁ final rift bet-ween her and her husband. She could not bear to put it into words. Every one assumed that Vingie Wright was to blame. It was the general impression that. Carolyn had told Beau to get out for just cause. All her acquaintan- res went out of their way to be very kind to her. ‘They cold shouldered vlngei until she decided lo take a trip.

“A change of rcenery seems to be

indicated." she remarked and booked fora cruise around the world.

Carolyn drew a sigh of relief. At; 1985i $119 would not be running into the other woman everywhere. Carolyn could not look at Vingic without shrinking. But Carolyn blamed herself more than anyone for what happened. That was why she made no effort to see Beau or get in touch with him. l-le had gone home to recover his grip upon himself.

"I've no right to inter-fere." Carolyn told herself miserably. "He's right. I was poison to him, But I love him. so! I love him so!"

“l think you should let your father take the IIPCOSSZIPy stops m- wards a divorce," Julia Webster urged.

“If Beau wants a divorce I'll give him one," said Carolyn. "But 1'11 never do anything about divorcing h'm unless he asks mo.’

Julia Webster compressed her lips. "You don't hear from him?"

Carolyn winced. "No, I don't hear frcm him."

She did not write Beau and sh; did not hear from him. but Caro- lyn could not go on without new: of him. So she subscribed to Mary- ville’; weekly newspaper. It was the typical small-town sheet, yet Caro- lyn devoured every word, cvcn the advertisements. That was how she knew that Irene and Fisher had moved into a house across the street from his store and that Olive as Mrs. Chester Donahue was living in a new bungalow out near the lake and had joined the Wednes- day Bridge Club.

On the setting o,( bakers’ prices to retailers, Mr. Squalr listed live Montreal firms whbse charge per 1on1 to Dominion Stores had in-

He named the ftnms ss Inter- City Baking Company. Hlffllml Brothers, Dent Harrison and Sons. General ‘Bakeries and Jacnes Stra- chan.

An exhibit he submitted also showed two Toronto baking con- cerns —- General Bakeries and Christie's _ as unplni their prices similarly and simultaneously be- tween Sept. l and Feb. 3.

Under exhaustive questioning as to the concurrent increases par‘.- icularly those in Montreal, Mr. squair said he had no information on how they came about. He told Roland Bcaudry (b-dvlontreal-St. James) he "wouldn't know" if there was any connection between the five firms.

Both the Dominion Stores of ficial and 11G. Meech, vice-presid- ent of Lioblaw Grocetcrias. told the committee their firms had no ag- reements or undertakings with baking firms for the fixing of re- tail prices. .

Chine No Colludon

Mr. Meech, whose examination on this point covered a broader field than that of the other grocery executive, also said there was no collusion to maintain price: be- tween [nblsws and any other re- taller.
