That would quiet her fears; any fears of hers, made by the thought that he might “bother her fn any way.” He felt lightened by the de- cision and it started the kind of dream that even a wholly balanced man may indulge when over- worked and lonely and divided by | tropic jungles from the world where | he belongs. | The fabric of stretched, torn and | shocked nerves and loneliness | helped him to make his pictures. He | saw himself sitting by Marsha’s } bed and reading to her. | “Haven't you been sitting up | rather long?” he heard himself say | aloud one night. It appalled him. | He'd known one chap—on a job in | the East—who had begun by bab- | } | bling and then— Bt he could not stop the dream- ing, although he could keep it from slipping to words. In dreams he drew her negligee close around her; he saw the white, smooth love- liness of ber throat. Once and again dreams ended by his sitting, sodden with despair. his head in his hands. Dreams will, sometimes, end in this way. He wrote, in parenthesis. “Don’t wear yourself out knitting, please!” The rest of the letter was tremulous with gratitude and the letter should have been encased, from start to fin- ish, by that sign she had informed him, would tell her of his sincerity. He had, two weeks later, her flippant reply; “I know,” he read, that it looked as if I did it on a crowbar, but | didn’t, and you mustn't agitate yourself over the | The peopie who receive | them are more to be pitied.

He wondered how Geoff would treat Marsha? He knew a good deal of Geoff, and Geoff had, in the past. been known to dea) rather harshly with people—women to be exact—who had worn his interest thin. After Bob considered this trom all angles ne decided, and he meant it, that be would kill Geoff if he didn’t treat Marsha well, and then ) he dismissed that particular phase | of the Marsha-Geoffrey ecomplica- | nto go on to another.

Perhaps, | | ) ) but he did not want that—“an af- fair.” FI Perhaps, even married to him, | she would have loved him if she had felt him to be something of the rake. He, the judge and jury and the de | fense, weighed all aspects of the | case. What might have happened | if he had kicked this stone aside, or if he had rolied this boulder in front of her to block her path? If he had said, to Geoffrey Tarleton, for in- stance, upon that day, “No, you n't bave her!” And to Marsha, You are my wife!” But of course that panticular boulder was impossible for him to roll before ner in order to block her path; no man would hold a woman againsi her will. And yet perhaps he would. Bob | strangely felt that perhaps Marsha | needed just that—holding against | her will. j Again the ghost of Tarleton rose | before him.
