Some day, Corol realizes. their serve will break. Carol is at the ompital with a former college friend, whose child has just been operated upon for mastoid. Blake has insisted on calling for Carol. Chapter 35 BURSTING DAM 'T was time, finally, to meet Mar- gery’s mother. There was no ebange, Dr. Howard assured them; nothing unnecessarily alarming. They could do nothing here; he suggested supper and bed and a sedative for them all. He would call them instantly if there was any) change. ... Harry nodded. right. Well—thanks, Doctor.” Dr. Howard's fine tired eyes smiled. “Nonsense. Go home and get some sleep.” He disappeared. Blake was there in less than fif- - minutes after Carol telephoned. e saw him from the waiting-room and stumbled down the steps to the sidewalk. He sprang from the car.and put a steadying hand under her elbow, eyed her with a quick, ravenous look. “Are you exhausted?” be asked un- evenly. “Not quite.” She smiled: af him. fI'll be all right as soon as I get home.” He asked about Harry, and she told him what the doctor had said. He had, she realized, no intention of Jeaving her at the Sherwood. He swung the car into a parking space and helped her carefully out, then went with her to her own doorway. She handed him her key with a tired gesture that shook him from head to foot. He was coming in with her and she had neither strength nor will to stop him. Thank heaven, she thought irrelevantly, I took time to make the bed and put it away. . He closed the door softly and led her to the couch and took off ber hat. “Lie down,” he ordered, fix you a drink.” | She caid, “Fix two,” and closed her eyes and listened to him moving about in the kitchen. This might be flisaster, she knew, and could make no move to prevent it. The apart- gent was warm and still and sleep dragged at her eyes and her mind. Sleep, and the intimate sound of Blake moving about in her kitchen. He came back with two tall glasses and bent over the couch. She opened her eyes and sat up to take the glass. “You're a life saver,” she said in- adequately, in an effort to push back the impending crisis. “I'm not used tp being up at five o'clock.” “Don’t get up,” he said roughly. “Here,” and slipped another pillow beneath her head. She lay back and sipped her drink, and he sat in a chair and devoured her with his eyes. * She shivered suddenly, as if a gold wind had lashed her. “Being father alone has its compensations, Basn’t it?” she whispered. “To care — that much — for something is frightening. The more things you “I guess you're “and ’'l Jove, the greater your hostage to} fortune. . IS eyes were on her face. She} looked white and tired and life- léss: a stranger would have thought her without charm or colcr. But her very exhaustion aroused in him an uncontrollable tenderness. * “No,” he sald bars Just being able to love that way—even if you lose the thing you love; even if you fever possess it—is worth all the guffering it entails.” ‘The air was vibrant, and the thing that filled them was a physical force, drawing them together. He thought @esperately: You can’t say it—you gan’t! And tried to summon a com- monplace remark that would break the spell. But the spell was too rong upon him, and in the end it was his self-control that broke. He Heard his own voice, shaken and al- most inaudible. “ “Oh, God, it’s no use! I love you, rol—love you. ...” “He realized suddenly, hat he said, that the words had et his spirit free. They heard the ords together, throbbing in the ir like the echo of a carillon, and ihen the torrent poured over them. She closed her eyes and heard the ho die away. He sat motionless, aiting eee @ word or sign, not hearing ty as 2 == SS = daring to touch her until he knew she wished it. She said at last: Because—I love you—too. . The words pulled him to his feet and he crossed to the couch and took her in his arms. After a second she lay motionless, one arm about his neck and her mouth against his. “No, it’s no use. the youth and resilience ot her body. To love someone like this, he thought exultantly — someone who not too long to wait. His mouth moved, gentle and lingering. over her mouth and eyes and throat. She drew away and looked at him, seeing the physical details of his face. It was incredible now that his eyes had been like slate, or that his thin mouth had ever been {straight and hard. His head was | beautifully modelled, she realized, and the thinness of his face threw its bones into sharp relief. She sat up suddenly and pulled his head down to her breast, and he lay still and felt the quick strong beating of | her heart. They recovered finally a fragment of reason, and sat apart and looked with wonder at each other She said unsteadily: “Blake, that was insane... - Fear darkened his eyes for an i you didn’t mean it?” “You know better than that. I told you because I couldn’t help it. But what can we do?” Hie,said simply: “Spend the rest of our lives together.” She could almost believe, hearing his words, that it was as simple as that. A mutual longing that would achieve a desired end. Aimost—but not quite. “My darling, that’s not possible.” “I don’t see why not.” He sprang to his feet and began to pace the floor, driven by the new-found en- ergy within him, “Unpleasantness first, yes. Tears and reproaches, maybe; but heaven knows they don’t matter. If Irma’s life and mine had been different I'd reproach my- self; but I can’t and won't.” IAROL followed him with her eyes, and when she spoke her voice trembled between lavghter and tears. “Blake, my darling, think. ¥ has Irma ever done to make think she can be generous? | don't know much about her, but I'm afraid I know that much. He said hotly: “Of course I’m willing to insist, if that’s the only way. But I still don’t believe it will be.” He made an impatient gesture and came to her again. “Don't think about it tonight; give me a chance to believe this.” He smiled at her, and saw the light and color in her face that had been drawn and tired. He felt a passionate longing to cherish and protect her; to put his own body and strength between her and the world. He fell back upon the only concrete gesture that occurred to him at the moment. “It must be late,” he said gently. “Hungry?” “I hadn't thought.” She felt a pang of shame that she had so com- pletely forgotten Margery and Harry in the blinding light of her own happiness. “I believe I am.” “Fine. Let's go eat our way through a big dinner.” The knowledge of being thus loved and cherished was almost too much to bear. She laughed brokenly. are a little the worse for wear.” His eyes were wistful. “May | wait, or shall 1 go away and come k?” He confessed with a smile: “I'm afraid fo get far from you for fear I'll wake up!” She hesitated only an instant. “Then, stay. | won't be long.” This is too much to ask of life, she thought. It’s dangerous to be as happy as this: the gods will be jealous. ... She came back in a very few minutes, glowing and immaculate, with her short dark hair once more in order. “Your turn next,” she said sim ply, and smiled. “As the boy told the visting bishop, ‘you may use any of the towels.’” When they were in the car he turned inquiringly. “Where to, lady?” “The Merrimac grill?” His hand closed over hers. “What “Idiot!” She laughed gently. ‘Don’t.you know, or do you just want to hear me say it?” “I want to hear you say it.” “All right. Because the first meal lever ate with you was at the Merri- mac.” (Copyright, 1936, by Marian Sims) Carol and Biake and love pass the evening together. MINISTRATION VS.
