MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1936. - THE WORLD WITH A FENCE A New Novel by Marian Sims SYNOPSIS: Carol Torrance just has told her very delightful family that she is leaving ti next month to teach school in Ashboro, Ga. Milly, her mother, flutters a: objects ; her sister Jilt aecepts the news matter of factly; Pat, the giftea member of the family, un- derstands Beriee! ly. But Pat com {estes the loneliness in pro or im while shooting golf with Carol, and Carol exacts a promise from Pat that he will keep on witl writing. Chapter Three DON KICKS UP D°* RICHARDS appeared that evening unexpectedly, his ha bitual grin buried under an air of perturbation. It was Don whom Carol had considered marrying— because he was solid and amiable, and because his magnificent body and exquisite cleanliness tricked people into thinking him handsome. He walked in without ringing, and confronted Carol in the living- room, “What's this about you going ta Ashboro?” ; Caro] stared at him. The almost indecent intimacy of small towns, had she said? None of the family had been out of earshot since she “I—guess I am, Don. There's so little point to the way I live.” “He said surprisingly: not much point to the way anybody lives. Ashboro’s no different from Meredith; don’t kid yourself about that.” ; “I'm not. But I don’t intend to stay there.” “You mean... you're not coming back?” Her throat ached intolerably, and Don’s arm was across her shoulders. His arm had been there before, and the sensation had never gone be yond a pleasant warmth—a sort of tempered pleasure: it had never ap- proached the sword-like ecstasy of Bill Farada: Faraday was in New York, and the dust of five years lay thick on the memory of him. He sensed her uncertainty, and with one hand he wrenched the car into a deserted side road and stopped, “Carol...” He had both arms around her, and his mouth was hunting hers. She gave up and kissed him re luctantly. But it wasn’t the sort of kiss she ‘ had had from him before. She wrenched herself away final- ly and sat, shivering, in the far cor- | ner, She was intensely angry,-with herself as well as with him. in “This whole thing sounds screwy,” declared Don. first brought the matter up for dis- cussion. “Will you please tell me where you heard that? And sit down, instead of glaring at me like a traffic cop.” He sat down with an air of im permanence, “l saw Jim Henley in the drug store, and he said ned recommended you and that he imag- ined you'd take the job.” “Ob, he did? He knows an awful lot.” She was unreasoningly trri- ‘tated with Jim Henley for speculat- ing on her decision in a drug store. “You're not going, are you, Carol?” His eyes begged her. They were blue and ingenuous, and she looked away from them. He got up and walked the length of the room, a habit he had when he was worried. “Let's go to ride. 1 want to argue with you and ! don’t want you run- nin’ out on me.” “ail right, Let me get a hat.” It had to be faced, she knew. Don was part of her life in Meredith, and like Meredith his image was dis- torted, enlarged, by the imminence of separation. He talked aimlessly until they reached an unfrequented road. Then he turned on her. “Listen, Carol: this whole thing sounds screwy. What’s the idea?” HE meant, of course, to tell him what she had told Milly. She tried to tell him that, and he brushed her words aside like gnats. “You wouidn’t go to another town and teach school for that. Your sal- ary won't go any farther there than your income does here. You're just checking out, aren't you?" His voice sounded furry—blurred. She watched the flow of pave- ment beneath the lights. The car seemed stationary, while a soft August night moved past them. She was rather like the car, she thought: standing still while her life went by on the wind. What was it the Red Queen had said: that you had to run very fast to stay in the same place? And much faster than that to get anywhere? Don looked at the road and waited, and she had to tell him the truth. If a man loved you, that was the least you could do. nyc? overplayed it, Don. Let’s go home.” 2 “If you think I did that purpose ly ..." His voice was savage, and it sounded as if he had been run- ning for miles. He knew he had lost, as surely as Carol knew it. Tender ness might have broken her, but she despised him now for touching a string she hadn’t known was there: that jarred discordantly in her ears. “1 don't,” she admitted shortly. “It wasn’t your fault at all. 1 suppose it was perfectly natural.” Natural. Damn nature anyway, with its insensate urge for per petuation. It used sneaking, under- hand methods to achieve its end; it bit below the belt. You saw samples everywhere: grossly mismated men and women who endured each other “for the sake of the children.” But unless you had a mind like Evan Torrance’s you didn’t see them like that; you saw them as good, sub- stantial people. And if you could see them that way, Carol reflected wearily, you were pretty lucky. ... Neither of them spoke until the car had stopped before her own door. Don's eyes were wretched, and she smiled listlessly at him. She felt limp and spent, as if the hot wind had burnt out her emo tions. Doubt gnawed at her again: perhaps she too suffered from Pat’s fault of eyeing the other pasture. ... Marrying Don would simplify life, and heaven knew she had neither desire nor capacity for a spectacular career. But life with Don would be @ monotone, and she wanted an oc- casional highlight even if she paid for every such moment with a com- plementary one of black despair. She raised a hand and touched his face, and he snatched at the hand and kissed it. ’ “Listen, Carol: let me come ee and see you some time.” “It [ think it’s any use.” She could tell better when she was away; right now she was too close to see him clearly. “I'll write you.” She opened the car door but he drew her back and kissed her again, very carefully. She realized that he was trembling all over. (Copyright, 1936, by Marian Sims) Carol meets Gao friend, tomorrow, “There's | embrace.
