Janey. listless, pale, viewed . indifferently one blue rug after I j another; she was wondering how Jim i j could so persistently avoid he^jand If he had known this queer longing I ache, which constantly possessed her. 1 A gruff voice nearby caused the salesman to turn with a start. I "Something 1n yellow." demanded Jim. His eager eyes met Janey's "In — In blue I mean," he amended breath- i lessly. I'm Interested only In blue i rugs, understand : I have no wish ; to ever see — a yellow rug again." The salesman stared : His listless cos•oraer was suddenly close at this queei ronng man's elbow.
