She was, Nick thought, a little thinner than she had been when last he saw her. As though these old walls had drained the young fire from her body. Just & kid—a pretty kid. Warmer, more natural than those other girls Stan had always played around with —that beautiful, selfish little devil Eunice, for example—and the pest Georgia—and useless, fretful Amy sweet kid Nick had got this far in his unusual sentimental musings when Judy's lashes lifted and he found her s ed blue eyes regardirg him “Why . . .

She laughed an embarrassed little laugh, and her hands pressed her disordered hair. ou and Eliza both have to your slestas, it seems” the man ned down at her, and she noticed how | his plain, square face lit with some- thing of beauty when he smiled. “I just came down from the third floor | and found her dead to the world. And | then I walk in here and find you the | same. Well, I suppose all you old ladies need your rest.” The casual friendliness of his words warmed Judy's heart. Without know- ing it she had become mentally tense in the past few weeks. Wary—too in- tense—when she was with Stan, swing- | ing from the heights of romantic ec- | stasy when Stan held her in his arms and told her he loved her, to the depths | of humiliation when she felt that she | had failed him. With others she had | always been watchful and alert. Only with this friendly man did she feel entirely at ease. As at ease as she might have felt with her old childhood sweetheart, Ken Backer, back in Sum- merfield, with the added confidence that here was a sophisticated and de- E;ndnhle man instead of a small town . Nick ave “It’s the life we lead,” she explained with mock serfousness. “Knitting and crocheting and tatting—such excite- citement.” He had settled down in a leather chair opposite and his white smile showed through the faint dusk of the room. “Don’t tell me that you've taken up Eliza’s pastimes. I can't recall that beautiful brides went in for knitting and tatting by themselves when I lived here in Lockwood.” “If it were that simple!” she groaned. “No, it's golf and bridge. And parties, but they're all alike. They either begin with golf or end up with bridge. You can't imagine!” “Oh, yes, I can! I lived here.” Nick's eyes were upon her—those shrewd littie eyes which read far more than Judy reslized. Oh, Lord, didn't he know! This house—the maddening complacency of those who lived in it He thought of his own boyhood and the hidden tyranny of his stepmother. With the thought Nick could almost see himself an awkward, well meaning but blundering boy who always con- trived to do the wrong thing no mat- ter how hard he wanted to do the right one. The scared bewilderment at life which he kept securely hidden in his own heart—the calloused indifference he assumed as protection and which had dra¥n his stepmother’s complaints and alienated the father whom he se- cretly adored. It had been an unhappy childhood Nick had spent in this old house, a time when he had always moved in a chill cloud of disapproval. His father, infatuated by his beautiful, shallow wife, had seen the awkward boy through her eyes. The other children were favored before him. Yes, Nick Carter had put in many miserable | hours in he doting old woma: could have drawn him back in this way.

Oh, if we could—" Stan wouldn'’t like it. Stan disliked Nick. Then hot rebellion came on the wake of this. Well, what of it! She didn't dislike him! She wanted to go. She would go! Judy went. And on the ride over to the airport in the automobile she told Nick in a burst of confidence: “Isn't it strange—from the first night I met you T've had the feeling that—well, that I'd known you a long time. You know how it is—with some people you get acquainted slowly. You come into the haliwhy of their minds and later on ou are let into the front room—and hen into the room beyond that and so on. And with some people you come in he added quickly in his thoughts—he must be all of 12 years older than she was. On the way over he told her what | flying meant to him. “It's escape. I may be blue or bothered about some- thing, but the minute I get in the plane and leave the earth I leave it all be- hind me. It's freedom. When you're up there looking down you see how small it all really is.” Judy thought of that on the flight Even the excitement of the take-off— the first thrilling moment when the plane left the ground and rose on its wings, the rubber tires spinning slowly in empty air while the earth seemed moving away below them, she found time to think of that How small it all really is—the big alrport with its red-roofed hangars spreading out below them in the sunny plain. The blue of the back bay and the gray-white salt marsh coming to view. And Lockwood—a patch of rooftops and trees—just one of several such patches scattered down the pen- ninsula as other suburbs came into view. Getting above it like this, Lock- weod didn't seem to metter much. What did it matter that Eunice Wilson w ealous and resentful, that Georgia was spiteful—what did it even matter that Stan might be d:spleased with her. Nothing mattered but this glorious new sense of freedom and the sun warm on her head and the wind rushing by Judy felt a hand touch her shoulder and she looked around into the anxious eyes of Nick Carter, shielded by his Lelmet, “All right?”’ She saw his lips | frame the question. All answer. Flashing_blue water and gray salt right! Her glowing face his marsh with sloughs cutting through | like writhing black water snakes. Wide country—where hills flattened out— where big things became small and small things disappeared entirely. This was freedom!
