Maida Parkhurst's memory in letters of fire that burned | ure was almost intolerable. | until the torture Why | Why had she been 8o foolish? had .s{v: listened to that greedy, selfish sister of Greg's, to the point of writing thipgs that would wound to the very depths of his being the ong man she ever had loved or ever could love? Even as she asked herself the ques- tion, it was answered mentally. If she was to give him up, that was the only way. It would do no ‘nod to see him, and any written farewell would have to be unpleasant or Greg would leave no stane -unturned.to find her, no matter where she went. But why hadn't she fust slipped quietly out of Greg's 1ife without any message of any kind?* Now, after she had written one, she realized that she had made it too strong; real- ized that she could not bear to go away jeaving in Greg's mind such a gross opinion of her. lJ‘l‘hm morning Hildegarde, Greg's older sister, had called before she had had an opportunity to leave for the office, to tell her that Grandfather | ried and was thrusting some last-min- NG STORY Greg's office was located, and mechani- cally got off at the corner. As she did so a large, white object, like a homing pigeon, came fluttering down through the air and fell at her feet. She looked down at it and was almost paralyzed with _astonishment to find that it was her ill-fated letter to Greg. She hadn't the slightest idea how or why it had been so miraculously retifrhed to her. She only knew that she had it safe in her hapd with the seal still unbroken Now ‘she could leave in peace, steal- ing away on & train that left in an | hour. It would be easler by far to go like this, leaving Greg to imagine what he: would, than to have deliberately stabbed him to the heart, as that let- ter would have done. Back to"het boarding house she hur-“ ute things into her traveling bag when | the landlady told her that Greg was | walting for her downstajrs. Her heart | gave a great, wild throb as she went slowly down the stairs with a last long farewell trembling on her ngs. “Darling!” Greg whispered raptur- ously, sweeping her into his arms be- fore she could say a word. “Where do you think you're going?” | ~I—I'm going away, Gre he fal- tered, all her resolutions crumbling into nothingness &t the sight of him, “I— T've come down to say good-by.” It was very hard to be firm feeling Greg's tender, protective arms about her, but she wanted everything over with as quickly as possible, so she THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, plunged into her subfect Srecipitously, determined to make a clegn breast of everything except the lett “Hildegarde came to S me this morning ana said that if I married you all your grandfather’'s monsy would go to charity. I couldn't thigk of coming between you and what Tighttully yours, so I am going away." “Is that s0? Well, you're going right out with me now and we're going to be married before there's any more of this damnable interference!” Greg as- serted, grasping Maida firmly by the shoulders. “Hildegarde deliberately lied to you because she wants me to stay single, but she's played a card too many. She can have granddad’s money. You and I can iive on my salary. Look up. dear heart, and tell me you're glad you're going to be Mrs. Gregory Alt- man in about 40 minutes!” Maida leaned happily against Oref's shoulder, allowing her hands to slip down into his coat pockets, a little habit of hers which Greg loved and which he often rewarded with the discovery of a little gift of some kind. This time she found only a folded paper. “A love note, Greg?” she laughed, pulling it out, secure in the knowledge and thankful that it wasn't the letter she had written him. “Oh, my, yes," Greg chuckled. “Been out all da; Found that on my desk when I got back, just before I started up here to take you out to dinner. Read it and discover your rival.” Wonderingly she smoothed out the penciled scrawl and deciphered it. “Mr. Altman,” it said, “when I wus dustin yer dest & letter bloo outin the winder, 1 hopes it aint importunt and yer aint to much put out, scrublady.” (Copyright, 1938.)
