TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1936. THE WORLD WITH A FENCE A New Novel by Marian Sims 2YNOFSIS: Carol Torrance ts on her way back to her home in Meredith from her teaching job in Ashboro. She has sent Denis Ford on to his new toork in Washington, although it meant heartbreak for each of them. And she has left Mike Hannigan the most interest a handsomest boy in her clase guishing in the toils of Monroe. Altogether, Carol's ney is rather a worrisome one. al- though the prospect of seeing the family in a few hours is a help. Chapter 16 MORE ABOUT DON Manas was becoming a real- ity with every mile; Ashboro a life she had lived in a dream. She was taking off Ashboro like a gar- ment, and putting on Meredith in- stead. Confronted by the lights of the mills she couldn’t remember so vividly Mike's twisted face, or even Denis’s dark, eager eyes. The porter gathered up her bags and she followed him eagerly, too soon. She stood in the vestibule for almost a mils, as if she had never travelled before, and then charged down the steps before he could help her. Three shapes were hurrying down the platform towards her: a tall angular one that loped, a tall slim one that strode, a smaller bundle that pattered. She opened her arms and: ran. “Milly! Ob, gosh, I’m so glad... .” Milly's face was sort and cold, and her old fur coat smelled faintly of moth balls. Carol squeezed her con- vulsively and turned to Jill, who felt so lithe and strong and young. Then Pat, whose arms enveloped her com- pletely, while he said: “Well, kid...” in a rough, pleased voice. Pat.picked up her bags and they walked towards the car, talking in the brbken, meaningless sentences of pegple who have not yet become re-accustomed to each other. The house, as they turned in the driveway, seemed to hold out its arms to them. It was unbearably lovely after Mrs. O’Connor’s, Carol thought: it had acquired gracious ness and serenity in so few years. N a little thinner, aren't you?” “Probably. The first month or so is always strenuous. After that you can relax.” She looked at Milly. “You look grand, sugar.” Milly’s face was flushed and her eyes were shining. “Oh. I'm getting fat, darn it! Middle-aged spread. Did you have supper?” “Did I! Im solitary state. It was: marvellous after months of feeding with the public. I gte for almost an hour.” “But wouldn't you like a glass of milk and some cake? 1 want to fat- ten you up while you're here.” Milly's affection needed some tangi- le outlet. “I'd love it. Let’s all eat cake.” They trooped into the kitchen and draped themselves on stools and over the table. Milly bustled happily. “Nut cake!’ Carol said. “I'll bet you made it for the prodigal.” Pat grinned. “We've had the calf on ice for a week. But this,” his voice was ludicrously domestic, “isp't as good as | usually make. 1 it was the eggs.” Their earlier constraint was gone. They settled down to the business of re-knitting the close fabric of their relationship. At eleven o'clock Milly assumed a firm expression. “It’s time for bed. Carol must get plenty of rest while she’s here. .. . You're in your own room, Carol.” They went upstairs, still laughing at nothing. Carol sniffed her room like a dog, catching the scent of strange powder and perfume that lingered like the ghost of. Edith Andrews. This room too séemed momentarily unfamiliar, especially with someone else’s smell in it. She opened her bag and began taking out her own belongings to lay the ghost. While she was brushing her hair Pat appeared, and sprawled his length acnoss her bed. She smiled fondly at him, and felt the catch at her heart that so often came with the sight of him. “Well, Patrick—what about it?” He lay with his hands locked be- hind his head and watched her. “Nothing. What about it yourself?” “I don’t know.” “Is it working?” “Not particularly. But then I hardly expected it to. There’ve been one or two bright spots. ,. .” She told him about Denis and Mike, and he listened keenly. ILLY eyed her critically. “You're Pps looked thoughtful. “Some- times you use your brain too much. Not ir this case, | imagine, because 1 sort of agree with you. But when the time comes I want you to stop thinking and begin feel- ing. Let yourself coast.” “1 know. If the time ever comes, I think 1 will.” By association of ideas she asked casually: “How’s Don, by the way?” Mirth flickered in Pat’s eyes and disappeared. “I wanted to tip you off about that. Brace yourself: Don's falling for our little sister. Since he couldn’t make love to the one who was dear...” She turned in her chair and stared at him. “No fooling?” “No fooling.” His face was sober. “It’s hard on your pride, of course, ‘| but when you get used to it I think you'll approwe.” She faced the mirror and rubbed Millie eyed Carol critically. cold cream carefully and mechani- cally from her face. Don and Jill.... “How does Jill feel about it?” Pat knit his thick, fair brows. “I don’t quite know: she probably feels uncomfortable about snatching your lover—even unintentionally.” “But he isn’t,” Carol said quickly. “If he were 1 wouldn’t.be in Ash- boro.” She began to smile. “I’m al- ready getting used to it, and I think it might be perfect.” “Sure. They both want the same things: home and family and fire- side. ...” Pat’s voice was hungry, and she wanted to!go. and ,throw ‘her arms around him. Instead she said: “Thank heaven you warned me. Wouldn't it have been awful if I'd appropriated him when he came, just assuming that ¥ was still the light of his life?”,, Don and Jill. And three months ago it had been Don and Carol. Pat was right; her pride had been jarred, although justice told her that Don was doing the wise thing in taking her at her word. But aside from her family this severed her last thin link with Meredith. Pat said gruffly: “I never saw you do any appropriating, even when. you had him; but I knew you'd want to know. Of course,” he added, “see- ing you again may bust it wide open. ...” And if you don’t really want him, I hope you won't let it, Carol heard his mind saying. She answered his unspoken request. “Don’t worry. It won't.” Milly poked her head in the door. “Go to bed, you owls. You've got two weeks to talk in.” (Copyright, 1936, by Marian Sims) A disturbing Christmas present comes, tomorrow, from Denis Ford.
