I— 1 felt that he was nearer your own age—that he had a great deal to offer you—and that J had no business trying to make you—care for me.” “That was stupid!” cried Sally. ,“Surely we were good enough friends ‘you could have talked to me about it” Tears of anger and relief came to Sally's eyes and she did not try Pad stop them. ‘I Was A Stupid Fool’ were good friends,” said Philip. “But when a man is in Jove, he ceases to be a friend.

It was first a sort ef infatuation born of boredom. Afterwards, she stuck to it because her father objected so strongly. The {last time, when she came to the house that night, she was simply hysterical with the excitement of the trial and ber father’s illness.” “But you were in love with her,” said Sally uncertainly. “You went out with her. You stopped letting me share the work with you—never falled me into your office.” All the Jburt she had suffered for the weeks ‘past came out now. “That night you found me at the lodge, you were jangry. You scarcely said a word.” (" “Twas wrong. 1 was a stupid fool,” Philip. “I shut you out of the mnald case because your father asked me to. I didn’t want you to mixed up in it any further.

Why did you let me go, then?” cried Sally. “Why did you—if you loved me?” “If 1 loved you, my darling!” Philip cried, drawing her into his arms. “I wanted you to hav your chance to get away; from me because } loved you.” “What a funny thing to want—it you love someone,” said Sally tremu- lously. The words were lost on Philip. He kissed her lips, her cheek, her hair. The Magic Of The Garden ‘ELL me you love me, Sally,” he insisted. “I want to hear you say it, Say it enough times to blot out all those fine speeches you made about not loving me but wanting my friend- ship.” “1 love you, Philip.” There were no more words spoken for a long time. The magic of the garden wrapped them round. The wonder of their love could not find words to tell itself. Eventually Philip spoke again. “I don’t want you to make another mistake, honey. if you marry me, I've nothing to give you but a mort- gaged business and a mortgaged house. We may even lose this garden.” “We couldn't,” said Sally with firm | conviction, “Why this is where we | first saw each other.” “A very good reason for keeping the place,” said Philip, but not one that would have any weight with the bank that holds the mortgage.” “T'll work and help you,” said Sally staunchly. “I’ve saved enough to start |to the pitcher, who threw home to Ray to college, and he’s saved, too. Together we'll be ‘able to save the house.” “Together we can do anything,” said Philip. “There are a lot of things to fight for still in this town. We've only begun to make it a better place to live in for the McDonalds and the rest of us.” He held one of Sally's hands firmly in his. “But it means we're committed to fighting and working— not to making money.” “Tm glad,” said Sally. “That makes it perfect.” “When I came here,” Philip went on, “you wanted romance—if 1 re- | and Manolo scored. member, you said Terry had offered you wings to fly away from the hum- drum life you'd always had—” Sally put a small hand firmly over his mouth. “It's not fair to tease me about Terry,” she said. “I was a silly girl when you first came. 1 dreamed_about tunning away from unpleasant things. TF guess 1 didn’t really love Terry at all. 1 loved the excitement J thought he could give me.” “But I can’t promise you excite- ment,” teased Philip, “I promise. to give you a job.” “You've already taught me that I | can’t fly away on anybody else’s wings,” said Sally. “I've got to—to grow my own.” “And even then I may not let you use them,” threatened Philip. He pulled her head down on his shoulder. “Not if yqu plan to fly away from me.” (Copyright, 1986, Batley Wolfe) The End Manhattan , (THAT’S THE THEME OF YOUR NEXT SERIAL) A SHOT rings through Anne’s studio, the lights go off.

However, the Drug Store Cow-) boys experienced the toughest bat- tle of the five contests. The fracas, yesterday went 12 innings before a decision swas reached. Freddie Carbonell’s double to left, scoring Mayg and Manolo Acevedo, cinched ithe game for the Pharmacy players. The victors started out in good shape, scoring two runs in the initial frame and adding three more in the sixth canto. Mean- while, the best the losers could do was score a lone tally. However, the Healthers woke! up in the seventh stanza, put over two markers and took the lead in the eighth when three Sanitary players crossed the plate. In their half of the ninth in- ning, Gardner’s Pill Rollers knot-} |ted the count and went on to vic- tory in the twelfth frame . In that canto, the Healthers had} a chance to win the game but lost the opportunity. With the bases full and one out, Gabriel hit} catcl*the runner coming from third and the backstop tossed the ball to the first baseman to double; Gabriel for the third out. Then came the end of the ball Mayg hit to Hale at third,! who fumbled the ball. M. Acevedo} hit to the pitcher and all hands are safe. A. Acevedo hit to short} and the bases are full, as Garcia! threw too late to first.
