She stood for a moment on the | edge of the moonlight. The elms stopped here, and the light ‘hone clear across the green. Something clamored in Caroline's ear; “Jim's drowned—it can’t be Jim.” And then she was running through the moonlight and into the shadow. The trees that bordered. the drive had been growing together for thir- ty years. Old Mr. Randal wouldn't have anything cut. It was as dark as the darkest tunnel. It was dark even when he sun was shining. Now it was like a tunnel hung with black velvet. j ‘The gravel was so overgrown with moss that it was lke running ons ‘soft carpet. Caroline's feet made no noise at all, nor, when she checked and listened, could she hear .the sound of any other foot. She went on again, not running now, and with her hands fending out before. her. The tunnel under the trees had an empty, feeling. It went right-on..to the corner of the. house and. there Caroline stdod still_and listened again. She couldn’t hear anything at all. It wasn’t dark any, longer, but all. the light came barred and chequered through the branches of the great cedar which stood up against the moon. ‘The house seemed vague and un- substantial, its tangled creepers dap- pled with silver. It wasn’t a.place where people lived any more. There Was no fire on its hearth, no:light in its chambers. It was a house‘of dreams. Until she stood in the black mouth of the drive and looked at the house, Caroline had been afraid. Part of her had been-very much afraid, but she had gone on because she had to go on. Now the part that was afraid stopped being afraid any more. The empty house drew her into its own dream, and she stopped being afraid. She began to run across the bers ‘of moonlight and shadow, and as she Tan she called, =” “Jim! Jimi! Wait for me!” (Nhe tae aad “came to the corner, “4 and gaw the whole front of the house and the gravel sweep betote it unshadowed in a taint moony light. In the middle of the sweep the man whom she had followed stood looking up at the house. - “Caroline had done with hesitetitig and being afraid, Those were things which she had left behind, ontside the dream. She came to him, run- ning lightly, and as he turned: at the sound of her running féet, caught him by the arm: “Jim!” It was her very watmest, “He stoo Slag wc hen He had come ‘here because his feet had brought him. At every turning, ateach cross-road and bend, he had known his way, yet he could not at ‘any time have said where he was going; he could only have said that he didn’t know. Yet all the time he knew that his teet were following ‘a familiar path. In the dark this ~ feeling strengthened. It took him into Hazelbury West with the sure sense cf @ homing animal, and it - had brought him here. an & As he stood staring at the house, the strangest sense of forgottem things came to him from the abape of the three pointed gables, the half seen chimney stacks, the blank wine dows, the ivy, and the falling cur- tains of Virginia creeper. . And then feet running lightly over the gravel, and a girl holding him by the arm and saying, “Jim{” She said it again, softly, with caught breath. She was bareheaded. ‘The moonlight had stolen all her color, Her hair was shadowy and dark, her face just a half seen pale- ness, her eyes dark but catching the Nght as water does, her hands hold- ing his arm, small and yet strong. her breath coming quic! her parted lips dark where daylight would have shown them red. “Jim!” He went on looking at her, The hands on his arm began to shake. “Jim—why don’t you speak?

FA- VORABLE IN 1933 —y | The American College of Sur- geons has issued its list of ap- proved hospitals for the year 1933. Among those listed in Flor- ida is the Marine hospital in Key West, Dr, Franklin H, Martin, direc- tor general of the American Col- lege of Surgeons, declares that the most vital force necessary to the suceess of the program of national recovery is the health’ of the people, If the people of this country are unhealthy there can be no re- covery. The healthier they are the speedier will be the return to a normal condition throughout the country, he said. To protect health, says this eminent surgeon, there is no more effectual, fortress than the mod- rn approved hospital which has demonstrated its fine humani- tarian qualities during. the — past four years of the depression by providing competent care for all classes whether they could pay for it or not. These surveys, it is shown, have been conducted for the past 16 York, with headquarters in the Times Building, was a visitor in Key West yesterday and spent a pleasant afternoon with acquaint- ances made during his brief stay.
