SYNOPSIS: Carot Torrance was running away ym one love affair when she took her fob in Blake Thornton's advertising office in At lanta. Bi id not escape love, ‘she realizes that what she feels for Blake ts far de ’ more beautiful than wha' feit for Denis Ford. But there is @ complication — Blake’s older and selfish wife, Irma, will certainly re- fuse to give her husband a divorce. atin tiatcnes coronal action dg; right now, they are at dinner, which seems unimportant but nec= easary, Chapter 36 FROM BLAKE yoRe ‘yout ordered @ piffiing dinner of sliced chicken and iced cof- fee.” Blake would never have believed, until tonight, that so small and un- important a detail had lain all these months in his memory. Had he, he wondered, been falling in love with Carol even then? , “But I didn’t get by with it....” Utter nonsense, all of it. Nonsense so uncharacteristic of them both that they clung to it desperately, fearing the days ahead when they would be too beset for lightness. And after dinner: “What now? An- other movie?” She knew his thoughts. I can’t see you and hold you there, they said; let me take you home where I can be alone with you. “T’d fall asleep, I'm afraid.” “I hoped you'd say that. I won't stay long; you must go to bed ear- yo. Broken sentences that said only half their thoughts. She sat close to him in the car and remembered the night when she had shrunk from the touch of his shoulder. Have I lost all shame, she wondered, and knew that shame had no meaning and no place in a feeling as big as this. Inside the apartment they came together as soon as the door had elosed behind them. She slipped her arms beneath his topcoat in order to be closer to him, and thought with passionate tenderness: he’s so terri- bly thin! If only I could take care of him—now. She drew away finally and snapped on a light. “I must call Marge and see how little Harry is.” | “Yes. Let me have your hat and goat.” He put them away while she called Margery’s number, knowing as if by instinct where they be- longed. Poor fool that Irma was, she thought, to have trampled under foot such a capacity for tenderness and care. i “Harry?” she said eagerly. It was ack upon her now: all the anguish nd dread and waiting. , “Yes. That Carol?” Harry's voice sounded as if he had run all day. | “Yes. Ir there—any news “No. Just about the same. “But he’s no worse?” “No, thank God. I've just come back from there and they say we ought to know — something — by morning.” “Will you call me then—either here or at the office? I don’t want to bother you.” ““Right.” Harry was trying hard. ‘And thanks, Carol, for everything.” “For nothing,” she protested. “Goodnight, Harry.” Blake said anxiously as she turned against his shoulder: “You don't have to come tomorrow if you don’t feel lik. it.” “Of course I feel like it. There’s nothing I can do unless he—gets worse.” “He won't.” Nothing so tragic could happen, Blake felt, in a world as golden as this one. “Now come on and sit down a minute, then I'll go and leave you in peace.” 1 ©She said with deadly seriousness: “I don’t believe I'd ever be entirely at peace while you were away.” His face glowed. “My darling! That's the loveliest thing you could possibly say.” They went back, during the next hour, to the early months of their ac- quaintance, recalling foolish, dis- jjointed things that had suddenly taken on a tremendous significance. ‘At ten o'clock he stood up re Nictantly. “I said an hour ago that Id go home. You'll—go straight to bed?” “Yes.” His concern was like @ fleecy blanket around her. “He said eagerly: “Can | stop for you in the morning? One of them, she thought, must cling to common sense. “Darling, You'd better not. It will be hard enough to hide it in the office with- out inviting suspicion.” “| guess you're right.” He grinned the endearing, small-boy grin. “I'll snarl] at you before the whole force ou asl Sine pale * ees needn’t go that tar. For a lamb like you that would be equally suspicious.” “He kissed her hupérily ly let her go. “Goodnight. God, I love you <3 oie” and final- Oh, dear * He turned and left quickly, for. fear he should be unable to leave at all. ER first waking thought was Blake; her second Marge and Harry. But little Hal was better; he had to be. She lay for a moment with her face hidden, tasting the sweetness of last night; remember- ing how Blake had looked and felt. The phone rang and she ran to an- swer it. Harry’s voice said: “Carol!” ; and plunged into his message. “He’s better; his pulse and his tempera- ture are down. The doctor says he ought to pull through. She swallowed hard. “Oh, Harry, I'm so glad. | knew he would... .” Her voice was shaking, so she added quickly: “I'll stop by the hospital this afternoon, tell Marge.” She hung up the receiver and went to get breakfast. Five minutes later the phone rang again and her heart plunged. Surely little Harry couldn’t have—not in five minutes .. She said “Yes?” in a small fright- ened voice, and then grew limp with relief. Blake’s voice, asking: “Did you sleep well, my darling?” “Oh.” She sat down weakly. “Good morning. Yes, 1 did—better than ever in my life, I think. And you?” “I hated to sleep, because then I couldn’t remember—not conscious- ly.” “But my dear, you must. After all, there are a lot of days.” “I suppose there are. Well—I won't keep you now. I'll see you in an hour.” “Yes. Goodby. ...” She wondered uneasily, entering the office, how well they could hide them. I know it’s written all over me, she thought; I hope he doesn’t have to see me about anything. To her great relief he did not speak to her during the day. But as she walked towards the carline an automobile drew up at the curb and a voice said laughingly: “Could ! give you a lift, lady?” Happiness surged over her in a warm flood. She frowned. “I don’t usually encourage pickups, but just this once...” and slipped in beside him. He laughed low tn his throat. “How'd | do today?” “Beautifully. 1 felt as if I'd never even been introduced to you.” At the Sherwood she said firmly: “It’s my turn to cook dinner, so you needn’t argue it.” He grinned. “I wouldn’t dare. But can’t I bring over that steak you were bragging about?” “Yes, you can do that.” He said: “You darling!” and then shook himself. “Get out, before I for- get where we are!” She got out, hugging to her heart the thought of one more evening snatched from the clutching hands of Olympus, UT they knew, very certainly, that they could not be too much together. The Sherwood was as in- different and impersonal as any city apartment house, but their friends might find them out. When Porter Murray or any other acquaintance suggested an engage- ment she accepted promptly, and Blake, for all the hunger in his eyes, admitted that she was right. On those evenings he made it a point to drop in on his friends or to instigate @ bridge game at his club. He abhorred concealment and subterfuge — furtiveness had no place in his heart or in his love— but he wanted with all the intensity of his nature to protect Carol from the loose tongues of a curious world. On the first Sunday they drove far into the country and left the car in a lane, to merge themselves with the actual solitude of the woods. The day was soft and dim, and pines stood in their own darkness, breath- ing the incense of their own needles. “Sit down, Blake, and let’s finish talking this out.” He thrust his hands into the pockets of his leather jacket to hide their trembling. “Must we—drag problems into Paradise?” “What better place could there be to face a problem than in Paradise?” She found a great oak whose spread- ing roots formed a resting place and he dropped down beside her and leaned his head against the trunk.” “Have you written Irma?” she asked unevenly. “No.” She might come home, he knew, to “put a stop to this per- formance.” “I'm going down there and have {t out with her, Next weekend.” (Copyright, 1936, by Marian Sims) Carol and Biake cross a danger. ous bridge, tomorrow.

CITIZEN SPORTS BY JOVE GIANTS NEED BUT ONE MORE GAME TO CINCH HONORS CHICAGO CUBS ELIMINATED IN PENNANT CHASE; RED. BIRDS’ CHANCES ARE AL- MOST NIL (Special io The Citizen) NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—The New York Giants need but one |more victory to cinch the 1936 | National League pennant. The} Chicago Cubs have been eliminat- jed from the flag race this year due to their defeat yesterday aft- lernoon at the hands of the Pitts- burgh Pirates. And ‘the erippled St. Loyis Cardinals’ chancés*:'of ! overtaking or tying the ‘Giants are almost gone, although | they still have a slim snatnensHienhis chance of doing so. “King” Carl Hubbel Was on the mound for the Giants ‘yesterday jand although the Phillies scored | four runs off him, he allowed them but eight hits. Terry’s men got at three Philly hurlers for safeties to produce five runs, The victory was Hubbell’s sixteenth in a row and his twenty-sixth of the | season, The Pittsburgh Pirates was hit- ting the ball to all corners of the | field yesterdey and as a result the Chicago Cubs, in an attempt to keep in the running, used Hen- shaw, Bryant, Root and two of their best, Lee and Warneke, ea the mound in a vain effort to hold down the fast-going Bucs. With 16 hits, Pittsburgh scored seven runs to six for the Windy City Tribe off 12 safeties. The victors used three hurlers. Ths game went 10 innings. As the Cards did not play, the loss; puts the Cubs a full game behind Ss. second-place occupan Brooklyn Dodgers, with Van Mungo doing the hurling, downed the Boston Bees, 8 to 6. Mungo allowed 13 hits, while his team col- lected 18 off Kowalik. Both outfits miscued twice. The New York Yankees have now reached the 100-mark in their victory column. The Philadel- phia Athletics was the team that supplied the 100th victory. With and handsome, the Yanks produced 12 ruus off 13 hits, aided by three errors by the A’s. The Philadel- phia players also garnered 13 hits, but scored only five times. After breezing along rather comfortably and administering ; one of the worst dovbleheader de- feats to the St. Louis Browns the day befo-e, Hornsby’s lowly club came back yesterday with revenge and almost shutout, the Tigers while they ran their’ ‘total runs to six hits as the Browns pounde' Schoolboy Rowe’ and ‘Sérrell for. 15 safe dlows. Final score wa’ 10 to 1, : s Washington Senators won a jelose game from the papacninie? Boston Red Sox, 3 to Cleveland Indiens and Chicago White Sox split a twin bill. The Indians copped the opener with plenty of runs to spare, 17 to 2, “t dropped the nightcap, 8 to 3.
