SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1936. THE WORLD A New Novel by Marian Sims WITH A FENCE SYNOPSIS: Now Carot Torrance and Blake Thornton are about to face their great trial. For they love cach other. and Blake is on his wa: to Florida to tell his cold and sel- fish wife Irma the truth. and ask her to divorce him. Carol and Blake have told each other good-bye, and Porter, a casual friend of Carol’s, has come to take Carol to the train. Porter is on time. which is unusual enough to cause Carol to joke him about it. Chapter 35 CONFESSION ORTER grinned. “Have to be. Trains and ships are the only things I can’t bluff into waiting for me. Of course I could bear missing this one, but I'm afraid it'd make me unpopular.” “You're darn right ic would.” She phoned for the porter and then turned and smiled at him. “I'm sorry I can't ask you to sit down.” “Oh, yeah? You're fairly champ- ing to be off. Vibratin’ with excite- ment and all that” She was startled. And I thought I was calm. she told herself: it’s a good thing there’s a trip ahead to justify me. She said ‘ightly: “Who wouldn't be? I haven't seen my family tor six months.” “That's the way to see a family,” ~ he said bluntly. “Every six months.” “Cynic. She picked up wer gloves and pocketbook and went to open the door for the bell-boy. When the Negro hae taken her bag. Por- & ter stared at her gravely. “I wish you weren't going.” “But I'll be back Thursday, and you sometimes go for days without seeing me What's the difference?” “A lot. I don’t like _ne idea of your being out of reach. How about let- " ting me drive over to Meredith and bring you back?” She held her breath. 4ctually she was coming Wednescay, because Blake would be bac then. “That's sweet of you, but—I don’t know. I'll drop you a note. ...” When I've thought up a good excuse. she added to herself. The city was gay and brilliantly lit as they drove through it. A deceptive brilliance, she thought, hiding weari- ness and unease and a despair inten- sified by the knowledge that despair had no place in the picture. Remem- bering the disillusionment of her last Christmas at aome she tried to steel herself by expecting nothing this time. Nothing but three days with her family. who were incapable c disappointing her. Porter was quiet, too, apparently absorbed in his skillful, breath-tak- ing driving. At the station he bought magazine. and chocolatc, and put ner on the train with bis usual flour- isl. Porter had a flair for living; even the most casual attentions took on a certain grace and signifi- cance wher. he performed them. He sank down beside her for a minute “See anybody in this car that you know?” “No. Why “Nothing.” He grinned, and leaned swiftly over and kissed her. “’By. beautiful. Please decide to let me @ crive you back.” He went down the aisle without looking at her again, and she sat and stared blindly out the window. Fs HE would not, Carol had promised herself. confide in any of her family. Bui she had overlooked Pat’s gift of divination.

She might never know elsewhere, she -ealized, so ef- fertless a gompanionship as hers with Pat.” Yoday’s, Birthday7|“* wi e When they had left the pavement for the dirt road she threw back her head. “Gosh, this is good! Why do any | of us struggle along in cities?” “Because some of us want one thing and some of us want another.” “And some poor idiots—like me— want it all. The ease and leisure of a little town, and the breadth and va- riety of a city.” “Sure,” Pat said comfortably. “And the thing to do is to decide which one you want worst, and then quit look- ing over your shoulder at the other one.” She wrinkled her nose at him “You're so bloomin’ sane—for an esthete. How do you get that way?” / He scowled. “Smile when you call me that, durn you! I dunno; | guess I’m just lazy. It’s a swell substitute for sanity; fools the smart guys every time.” She breathed the cold air deeply, and let her eyes sweep the quiet fields about them. The fields were sleeping now—golden brown with sedge and weeds and dead corn stalks —and the soil beneath their feet was red, and crusty from frost. The Old Red Hills of Georgia. she thought with a swift nostalgic ache: I can't imagine living anywhere else in the world. Pat said lightly: “Of course this walking business was a gag. I want to hear about you and how you're making out.” HE knew at once that she was go- ing to tell him about Blake. That the thought of Blake had been in her mind like an orchestral ac- companiment to everything she had done and said and heard in Mere- dith. And that she wanted desperate- ly to talk about him, and to hear his name spoken aloud. She said slowly: “Well, right now I‘m like—a pris- oner at the bar, waiting for a ver- dict He looked sharply at her and then straight ahead. “What do you mean?” She told him, in a quiet. controlled voice, about Blake, and Irma. and Blake’s mission. Pat listened in com- plete silence until she was done, then he said: “He sounds like a pretty grand guy.” “He's all of that. I'm living for the day when you and he can know each other.” “This wife of his. What’s she go- ing to do?” What was she? Carol wondered. Her worst. whatever Blake might hope for. She said slowly: “God knows. Blake thinks she'll be decent, but that’s because he’s a man, and decent himself. He’s got no idea what devils womer. can be— even when he’s lived with one for years. I’ve never seen Irma, but I've diagnosed her as an—egomaniac. if there’s such a word.” “And if she refuses to play ball?” Pat asked quietly. “Again—God knows. | said I'd— go all the way with him.” “Good for you.” He had drawn her arm through his, as if to interpose his own strength between her and Irma’s uncompfomising hate. “Just remember this.” he went on steadily. “that people have a genius for forget- ting things like that. You may have a few weeks of hell before you bring her around, but when it’s over the pack will forget all about you and start tearing the flesh off a new vic- tim. Hang on to that.” “T'll try. Because of course you're right. I can stand the hell so long as it doesn’t ruin—what Blake and I feel for each other.” “It won't unless you let it. That’s up to you and him. Will you bring him up here as soon as you can— | no matter which way it’s going to be? I'll have the ground all broken and the family in line when you say | the word.” “You darling! I'll do it as soon as 1 can. He wanted to come this time, but I thought we'd better wait.” He turned and looked closely at her. “This what you've been looking for kid?” Her color and her voice deepened. “This is what I never expected to find—anywhere. Even if this were all, I'd still feel better about living and dying.” His arm pressed her against his side. “That’s the way to talk. I envy you like the devil.” She was suddenly ashamed of her own absorption. “Pat, you're worse that I've been. Sooner or later you’ve got to get out and find a life for yourself.” She smiled faintly. “Lord, what a lover you'd be!” He laughed shortly. “Don't fool yourself. The girl would be entirely out of luck—assuming that I ever found her.” (Copyright, 1936, by Marian Sims) Biake and Irma meet, and yet don’t meet, Monday. Grand Island, Nebr., born at Pierpont, N.

MAY SEE THIS ARBITER IN ACTION Arrangements are being pushed to bring the Protectu diamondball club to Key West for games on Thursday and Friday of next! week, Oct. 1 and 2. A night letter was sent to the officials of the team last night! advising them that all expenses of the trip will be paid by the local team and that everything is ready for their arrival. A letter has been received in Key West from Dr. R. E. Christie, stating that he might bring Um-! pire Fredericks with the team, not} that the local umps will not give the Miami players a fair dea,, but because he feels the local fans would like to see this arbiter in His humorous way of handiing the game would be an added attraction. The best players in Miami will be on the team. The local teams will give the in- vading outfit a fight for their money. Fans remember what the Key West team accomplished in the East Coast Diamondball Elim- ination Tournament, although the local players had not seen action under the lights for about six months previous to the week be- fore the tournament. The Key Westers are practicing every afternoon and will be in great shape by next Thursday.
