Up to this time she had really cried but little. The suf- fusioii of lier eyes, the appeal of unshed tears had been sufficient to bring her husband to her feet. Ilut she realized something in his voice she had not heard before.

As sho never had said any such thing, never given this version of lier oft- retiptetl remark about the sort of wife he should have married, it would have tickled John's sense of humor had the occasion not been so serious."

An hour later. when he was about to leave, Marcia for the first time since tlicir marriage refused to kiss him good-by. for the first time failed to stand at the window and wave him a farewell before he turned the corner. The thought of the omission was with John Aldrich all day. It hin- tiereil him in his work. ' "i might have better said noth- ing.
