SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1936. THE WORLD WITH A FENC A New Novel by Marian Sims Chapter 44 DOCTOR’S HELP LAKE entered the office on Sat- urday morning like a man who walks in his sleep. There was @ quick lifting of heads as he entered the room; a wave of sympathy beat against him. and almost submerged him. If they knew, he thought, they'd despise me instead... . He smiled slightly in response to the welcome and let his eyes, move swiftly from one face to the other. The sight of Carol’s face almost broke him. He went to his office and sat with his head in his hands, see- ing her face and thinking, in spite of himself, of the last three days. But—not even pity or remorse could temper his love for Carol. In- stead of loving her less, he felt as if their joint knowledge and respon- sibility had bound them together forever, and his hunger for her was | intolerable. But he could not force himself upon her yet; the memory of her horror was too fresh. He had the feeling that the very sight of him was unendurable to her, and his heart was racked,by the thought of her, chained to her desk like a still, trapped animal. On a sudden impulse he turned to the telephone and called Dr. Free- man. “This is Blake Thornton,” he said abruptly. “I wonder if I might talk to you a few minutes?” “Yes, indeed,” Dr. Freeman said promptly. “If you hadn't called me I intended to call you in @ day or two.” “What time would sult you?” There was an interval during which Dr. Freeman consulted bis appointment book. | “How soon could you get here?” “In ten or fifteen minutes.” “Good: I'll see you then. I'm op- erating at eleven.” Blake wondered, sitting in the luxurious waiting-room, what sort of man Freeman was, and how much he could expect in the way of un- derstanding. He rose eagerly at the nurse's summons, and entered an immaculate consulting room. Dr. Freeman shook hands, and Blake liked the firmness and sure- ness of his grasp. He was a big blonde man, with beautifully kept hands and a soothing manner that might hide a great deal of force. “Sit down,” he said gravely. “That was a tragic businesr.” Blake looked, squarely into his eyes. “A lot more tragic than you know. That's what I wanted to talk about.” Freeman nodded and leaned back in his chair. “I knew, 0. course, :hat there was something back of it. Her type usually clings to the last shred of life, no matter how much unkap- piness it holds.” Freeman's quiet tone give him hope. He said bluntly: “I had just filed suit for divorce: I managed to keep that out of the papers. I went down @ week ago to ask her to divorce me.” R. FREEMAN nodded. He could guess at a great deal more. He said unexpectedly: “You're to blame, but not in the way you think. Your fatilt goes back a great many years.” Blake said defensively: mean in marrying her at all?” “No. That needn't have been dis- astrous. Your mistake was in humor- ing her; in not demanding more of her.” Blake’s mouth was thin. “I'm sor- ry. I wasn’t cut out for a tyrant.” “Oh, my God!” Freeman groaned. “There's a middle ground. And be- sides, a woman of her type needs a tyrant; she should have married a Frenchman—or a Spaniard. Ameri- can husbands ruin her sort.” The mterview, Blake felt, was becoming incredibly cold-blooded. They were dissecting Irma like a pair of medical students. And then reason overrode his réluctance. Wasn't this what he wanted; wasn't he fighting for his life? Freeman went on, very gravely. “I can guess, of course, what you must be going through, and I'd like to help you. Your responsibility for the trag- edy is not nearly so direct as you think. It lies mainly—you'll forgive me, I hope—in your wifé’s own char- acter. As you probably know, she was ata time of life which some times does strange things to women —particularly where there is a ten- dency to neurosis. Their viewpoint becomes distorted, and they exag- gerate every misfortune. A spoiled child who has veen disciplined sometimes resorts to the same des- perate means.” Blake's anger faded and he felt a quick liking for the man who was hoiding out a hand that might pull him from the depths in which he struggled. He said quietly: “You “Thank you very much. I'll try to remember that.” Dr. Freeman was looking at his beautiful hands. “How does—the other girl feel?” Blake’s hard-won composure was ened. “She's —stunned. I'm he never wants to see me “Do you think she loves you?” “I think so.” He remembered her parting words: I'll ve with you ev- ery minutc—if that helps any.” He said in a surer voice: “I know she does.” ' “Then hold on to her, in spite of everything. Don’t give in this time. If you want me to talk to her, t will. The offer was generous, but he doubted if Carol would accept it. He seid: “Thank you a thousand times. If I fail 1 may ask you to help.” But not like Irma. (0 we SUNDAY morning Cornelia telephoned Carol. “Can't you come out for dinner to- night? Mother and Dad are in New York and | want to make whoopee. T'll rug over and get you about sev. en.” Carol's heart stopped for a sec ond, because sh suspected Corne lia’s iptention. But when they en tered Cornelia’s beautiful living: room Carol saw that the room was empty. They had cocktails, and sat down to a table that war laid for two. She felt relieved. like a crimi- nal who, knowing his execution to by Inevitable, has been granted a brief reprieve. When dinner was over Cornelia rose. “Let's have coffee in the den. Go peak to James.” Carol’s breath caught. | can’t! she almost screamed, and instead turned silently away. There was a log fire in the den. and Blgke sat op a couch before the fire, smoking. He sprang up as the “oor opened and they stood motion less, looking at each other. She closed the door mechanically. He said awkwardly: “Cornelia was good enough to ask me to come. I hope you don't mind...” She forced herself to speak stead- ily: “No. We had to see each other and talk it out.” She smiled a little. “We always seém to be talking something out, don’t we?” She did not dare sit beside him on the gouch, so she took a big chair that elf faced the fireplace. He of- tered fier a cigaret and she accept- ed it giitomatically, and noticed that his bards were shaking as he held the match for her. Fevsaid haitingly: “I've been anx- fous about you. Are you—all right?” “Yes... Are you?” “I suppose 80. 1 wanted to tell you —not to work for a while if you didn’t feel like. it.” Eniotion distorted her face for the first time. “I didn’t think I had any choice, Unless of course you'd rath- er I wouldn't.” His ¥oice broke. “Oh, Carol! Don't you know I want you there—even if I can't say a word to you? Just know- ing ¥ow’re in the next room helps me iy get through a day.” Sh@ Jooked at the fire. “I wonder if it does? 1 wonder if it wouldn’: be better for me to go away—for good.” “Do you want to?” he asked final- ly. “I—don't know. I suppose the courageous thing to do is to stay— if I can stand it.” He felt a quick anger against her because she seemed to misunder- stand and to fail him so completely. “For God's sake don’t make me feel like a jailer! If you want to go, you know I won't try to stop you.” The flare of anger burned out, and the longing that succeeded it broke down his restraint. “Please sit by me,” he said gently. “4 won't touch you unless you want me to....” He told her what Dr. Freeman had said, and watched her anxiously for a sign of relaxing tension. “He said—he’d be glad to talk to you if you cared to,” he concluded. “No. I think I know already what he'd say.” “And—that doesn’t make you feel any better?” Tears burned her eyes suddenly. “It ought to. After a while maybe it will. It’s too—fresh—right now.” He got up and stood on the hearth facing her. “Carol—aren’t you be- ing what you've always despised: a seftimentalist? You're the. most honest person I've ever known: think.” (Copyright, 1936, by Marian Sims) Today’s Birthdays; wood, Pa., 53 years ago.
