THE CHARACTERS
Nine, ex-debutante, impulstvely
married David. but really loved her
steptather. Now she loves David and
loathes Richard.
Richard, the suave, handsome
stepfather, tried to entice Nina into
, secret love affair,, but she finally
sees him as he is—a seitish sponger.
Honey, Nina’s gay. childish moth-
er who is wild about Richard. de-
velop, a serlous heart ailment.
David, a bright young auto sales-
man with a small salary, belatedly
begins to suspect Nina at caring too
much for Richard.
Chapter 11
DAVID'S NOTE
As Nina walked back to the Ritz,
she was trying to be a Pollyanna,
and think how she might have gone
on just thinking how cunning and
gay David was, and how much die
liked the color of his hair, if there
had been no Richard to compare
him with. How die might have miss-
ed really—appreciating him. . and
his love
She took a taxi and drove to the
station.
Seven fifty-five.
It was damp and smelly. Unex-
pected puffs of steam came out from
under the engine as she walked by,
on the wet boards to her parlor car;
two cars bumped up against each
other with a crash and locked, and
Nina jumped nervously.
All her fears came back. She
shivered and was miserable.
“North Philadelphia, next stop!”
Heavens, were they only that far?
And she realized it was the same
cry, and the same conductor, and
the same thought on her part, at
the evening before.
At 10:55 they pulled into the
Pennsylvania station. At 11 she

"Button," she called, “Darling
Buton, are you here?"
But she didn't mean that, because
she was hugging Button dose She
meant David.
And when she spoke to the dog.
she said: Good—old David. There,
there. David . . ." and didn't know
what she was saying. *
She was sobbing, too, and she
didn't know that either.
Now that the ordeal at getting
herseir back was over, she seemed
drained of all strength.
With one hand on Button’a bony
head, she went to the telephone
she had dialed the number of the
salesroom, and the operator was
just answering, when she saw the
note. She put the receiver down and
stared at the white envelope.
She could see "Nine" written
across the front. It was propped on
the mantel — where it stood out
against the blue walla
“Nina."

David scribbled down telephone |

way he tore off a note to her, If he
had gone out unexpectedly.
But "Nina" The letters were
formed with precision. The whole
underlined. . .
Even before she read it. her
sptrita had reached a new low
mark. Her heart had earer been
so near to standing stm,
