ee yPsSYy By MARGARE SYNOPSIS: Dirk Joris has not aolved the mystery which surrounds Hope Devine, the girl his older brother Rupert married one night after an hour’s acquaintance. But at any rate he has learned that Hope herself seems freed of an im- pending danger, and he knows now that Hope understands his unex pressed love for her—and perhaps returns it. Hope has refused to go to a coming out party with him; he is talking with Isabel, friend ie childhood, and she is being a@ ittle enigmatic. Chapter 35 BADINAGE LAP me if I'm wrong, Dirk,” Isa- bel said, “but I've always felt Rupert must have been tight when he married Hope ... all of a-sudden like that, right after Elinor had turned him down. He doesn’t seem to see how you... You know I felt at first that you and Rupert would fight over Hope. But he doesn’t even seem to see her, or to see how you care. And he certainly doesn’t seem happy.” “Though he’s one of those who need it,” smiled Dirk. “Exactly. And so do you. I think if you would go to Rupert, and tell him... he’d give her up to you. It’s been done before.” Odd. He had been thinking that himself. But he didn't like hearing it from Isabel. “It’s an idea,” he admitted. “But aren't you reckoning without Hope?” “Am I? Doesn't she...” “I'm afraid she doesn’t. You see she met me before she did Rupert.” Isabel's slate-colored eyes grew blank. “That surprises me. I suppose I assumed that any girl would want you ...if you wanted her.” “If that,” said Dirk, “is a sample of your reasoning ...” “Well, it is.” “Then you need help in picking out a husband. Let's weigh the re- spective virtues of Joe and Freddy.” “Oh, not the virtues, Dirk!” “I mean, of course, 80 we can throw out the one that has the most.” IRK got home shortly after one o'clock, remembering the full day ahead of him. Mary opened Hope’s door as he reached the top of the stair. Mrs. Joris, she said, want- ed to see him, wanted to hear about the party, Would he come in a minute? . é z In the dim light Hope was sitting up in bed, the small painted shawl about her shoulders. Her cheeks were flushed, her hair tumbled. She looked like a wakeful, excited child. “You don’t mind?” she said. “Mind? I should say not.” He laid off his dark Inverness coat, and white mufiler, took the big gilt chair beside the bed. Mary, who had waited up for him, and who was tired, felt that she might undress now, and go to sleep. She went out and closed the door. “You look grand,” Hope said to Dirk. “I didn’t see you before you went.” “I listened at the door,” he an- swered. “Everything was so quiet I thought you were asleep.” “I haven't been asleep at all. I thought every sound was you. I wanted to see you tonight because you are leaving so early. Please sit closer, so that I can look at you. Was the party beautiful?” He came and sat beside her on the bed. “I think you would have called it ‘wondertul,’” he smiled and said. “Did Isabel give you that?” Her finger touched the silver flower in his buttonhole. “Yes. Want it?” She held out a hand. “I's etoe;" she discovered. “Mistletoe ""th silver leaves.” “Isabel awarded it to me as a Croix de Guerre, because I'd been brave.” “Brave?” “I decided whom she should marry. It lay between Freddy Nevin and Joe Vincent. We stripped and weighed them, as it were. It was a tie. We were in a smoking-lounge, and I said, ‘Let's make it the one who comes here to find you.’ She agreed, and before long, here came Freddy. So that’s settled.” “Did your bravery lie in giving her up? You might have been very happy with her, Dirk.” “She says not,” he answered. “She says she doesn’t need hapri- ness. All she needs is to be comfort- able. She says she ought not to marry any one who needs happiness .-.- who is capable of it, even. Comi- eal doctrine, dsn’t it?” Frank H.

Do you need hap- piness?” “Well, I'm certainly capable ef it” “I think she’s wrong,” pee said. “I think every one needs it... most of all those who think them- | selves incapable of feeling it.” And he, “You think that, ... or so Isabel | would say ... because you need it so | much, yourself.” | “But it’s easy for me! Little things | ... almost anything ...” Her face j clouded. “If there’s not fear, trouble .. ahead.” | Involuntarily he leaned toward her. “If [had my way, Hope “Oh, but I'm happy now!” she said j| breathlessly. “Just this minute, I j mean. It feels as if the clock had | stopped. All the clocks in the world. As if there wouldn't be any tomor- | row.” He heard his own voice say, “Do I make you happy, Hope?” “Yes, and sad, too. Now that I know ... I mean, since this after- noon... nothing seems to matter a great deal. Nothing else, that is.” A wild wind seemed to blow through him, around him. Blowing ; away any barrier between them. Blowing them together. Her voice came soft and small through the blowing wind. “Kiss me, Dirk.” She was in his arms, half-lifted from the pillow by his embrace. He felt the little shawl fall back, felt her bare arms tighten about his | neck, and for a long moment the | pressure of her lips on his. He | shared her almost nful catch of the breath when the kiss was done. | She turned her face. Her warm | flushed cheek was soft against his. “I wanted that,” she whispered. “I wanted something . . . to keep.” “You have all of me,” Dirk said | huskily. | “Not really. Not like that. I know how you feel about .. . Rupert. “Tl talk to Rupert,” he said. “I tell him. I must have you. We be- long to each other.” A faint chime sounded from the hall. Then three clear strokes of a silver gong. “The clocks are going again,” she said. “And you have to get up early.” He stood still, looking down at her, at the flushed face and closed eyes, at the dark head on the white pillow. He longed to kiss her agai: Instead, he said a low “good nigh’ and crossed the room, gathering up ;} his things. She had not answered him, but | when he turned at the door to look ‘HE next night when Dirk re- turned from Albany, Mary met him at the door. She was pallid, and raveled-looking. Timothy hovered in the background, but it was Mary who did the talking. It was Mary who blamed herself entirely. “I had waited up for you, sir, and when you came I went to bed and to sleep. I didn’t even wake up to open the door between the rooms. And next morning I overslept. At first I thought she was in the bathroom, but when she stayed so long I called her, and then I opened the bathroom door. Even then I couldn't believe she was gone, sir. You see, she left all her new clothes. And she left me i a note. Here it is. It was on her pil- low.” Dirk read the crumpled slip. Hope was grateful for Mary’s care and kindness. She would never forget. “And there’s a note for you, sir, in your room. And one for Mister Ru- pert.” Mary was wiping her eyes. Dirk felt a hot, unreasoning fury. Why had Hope done this? Why had she kissed him like that, only to leave him? Her kiss had been good- by, and she had not told him. Per- haps her note would tell him where she had gone. “I blame her father, sir. I heard him scolding her the night he came. Theard him tell her she had no right to stay here. I didn’t think she had paid any attention to him. But she did. As soon as she was strong enough.” “And you don’t know what time she left?” “It was before nine, sir. That was when I woke.” After all, thought Dirk, the time of her leaving mattered little. He found her note for him, lying on his bureau. Beside it lay another, addressed to Rupert. His own read: Dirk, darling: You think I couldn't have done this if 1 had loved you. It is because I love you that I could do it. It is the best, the only thing. If you love me’ in return, don’t try to find me. In that ‘way you will help me most of all.
