SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1940 =, Chapter 33 Pat’s Spell LLEN remained in this half dazed condition for several days; then gradually Sue won him from his bitter musing. “You say yourself you and Pats haven't been happy, Allen. You’re free now; fre@ ‘to-Jive your own life. Doesn’t that mean anything to you?” “Tll_ never be free,” was the somber answer. “Pats—Pats is Part of me, somehow. I don’t know whether I love her, or not; it doesn’t seem to matter. But her life and mine seem so inextricably joined that it’s like amputating a leg, an arm, to think of her gone.” “Habit,” she diagnosed cheer- fully. “I predict that in three months’ time you'll be thanking your lucky stars she left you. The thing now for you to do,” she said with a ceratin firmness she had found helpful in dealing with this new and vague Allen, “is to give up your apartment, store the fur- niture, and move to the Benton Club. You need a complete change of scene.” He shrank as though she had struck him. “Sue, I can’t! mean that literal- ly: I can’t! There’s something of ats left in those rooms, I can re- member how she looked, words she spoke—” “Allen}” Sue spoke sharply. “Don't talk as if she were dead! She's vef¥ much alive—and living with Forest,” she added deliber- ately. “You're being morbid about this, Buddy. It’s not like you to act so, speak so. 1 don't believe,” she went on with healthy scorn, “that you really loved Pats at all, even from the very first. I grant you there was a strong physical attraction. Pats is that kind of wo- man. But after that—habit, as I said, a chivalrous feeling or re- sponsibility for her, worry over her extravagance —they’ve all combined to keep her foremost in your thoughts. You miss her just now the way you'd miss an aching tooth. But love her—no!” He stared at her in bewilder- ment. “How do I know what love is, Sue? I had—for Pats—” he groped among his thoughts, seek- ing words—“that tingling aware- ness that gives meaning to exist- ence. Isn't that — surely that’s — love?” _ If he had not been so absorbed rplexity he would d at the change in his ‘ace. “The tingling aware- t gives meaning to exist- ence.” Was the a better defi- nition of p: love?

Allen, the brother she had pitied, the man whose life lay in ruing about him now, had had what she had been denied. the sort of marriage which gave Meaning to existence. A cheap and common woman like Pats had the ie to give men such ha pines it was the explanation of Forest Webb's incredible act. Sue, huddled in her chair, knew that her marriage to Bob, her courageous fight to lift him from his business catastrophe, her sum- moning of his forces to start all over again, was a far finer thing than Pats could offer any man, or any man give Pats in return. Finer, better, braver; but strangely sa- vorless and empty just now. The knowledge made her pa- tient with Allen; and iterequired patience, and all her tenderness, to endure the ten days he spent with her. Every ring of the telephone brought him panting to where the instrument rested. He paced the floor an hour before each expected mail delivery. At least once a day he called his office in St. Joseph to inquire if there had been any “message” for him. “Pull yourself together, guy,” Bob adjured him, not unkindly. “You're acting like alovesick girl, you know.” Li a0? “I suppose so.” : Bob shrugged. He considered Allen's case hopeless indeed if the taunt could wring only that dull assen} from him. REV. LILLY’S SUNDAY SERMONS ANNOUNCED Pastor Jim Lilly announces the following subjects for his ser- mons tomorrow at Fleming Street Methodist Church.

All during the day she could keep busy, cheerful. Getting Rob- ert off to the kindergarten, seeing to small Susan’s nap, her lunch, her airing, listening enraptured to her. baby voice experimenting with new combinations of words, filled the waking hours; but at night Eric came back, whether she lay staring with sleepless eyes at the ceiling, or dropped into uneasy slumber. “Sue, come to me!” said his im- perative voice again and again. “If you love me, come to me at once!” No use to tell herself that she had not the least idea where Eric was now; that for all she knew to the contrary he was married, an the father of children. His column had long ago disappeared from the papers she saw. This might mean everything, or nothing: that he was devoting himself to more seri- ous writing, that he was not writ- ing at all; that he was dead. Sometimes she pondered the acute influence Pats had had on her own life. If she hadn’t married Allen, Sue herself in all prob- ability would not have contracted that hasty marriage with Bob. It had been in Pat’s over-heated. over-scented room that Sue an Eric had met. And now, in her final exit from the Davenports’ lives, she had demolished, for the time being at least, the warm serenity of Sue’s present. “For a light weight, she certainly has left her mark upon us,” Sue told herself with a wry twist of her lips in the darkness. Call From New York ae Allen’s departure, she threw herself more energeti- cally into the round of her daily duties. She played an excellent game of bridge, and joined a club which accounted for an afternoon | out of each fortnight. She went often to Kansas City to shop. She had Bob’s business friends to dinner, devoting herself so closely to the food and service that they —for the most part paunchy old bachelors who had been too cau- tious to marry in their youth, and were now too fearful of being snapped up for their money—eyed him wistfully. The children were her best de- fense against the corroding unhap- piness which Allen’s words had unsealed. Baby Susan was an embryo poet. “She ‘lisps in rhyme,” her mother told Bob proudly. “Great Scott! Don’t let her!” he protested, alarmed. But tiny Susan went on, as un- conscious of the music of her speech as a bird is of the beauty of its song. “Muvver and bruvver, and love one anovver,” Sue would hear her crooning to herself. “I can’t go out to play. bee-cause it wains today.” The summer passed, and another winter. Allen had disposed of his apartment and moved into the Benton Club. His eyes were still unhappy, but he was outward]: composed and fairly cheerful. Barbara, to say nothing of Sue and Bob, had prevailed on him to give Pats a divorce. She and Forest were married and living in New York. And it was to New York that | Sue, during the summer that little Susan was four, was summoned a frantic telephone call from For- est Webb. She had been dressing for din- ner when the summons came. The children, as they loved to do, were playing about her room before their early supper. “There’s the .|telephone, Robert. Will you an- ver it for Mother? If its someone ling Dad say he'll be here any minute.” “Tt's for you,” the small boy told her presently. Her mind was on Bob's tar- diness as she took up the instru- ment. When the operator said: + “New York City calling Mrs. Robert Trenton,” she hardly understood for a moment. “This is Mrs. Robert Trenton!” There were the usual delays and half-understood words: then a voice which was vaguely familiar said: “Is this you, Sue?” “Yes, Who is—” “Forest. Forest Webb. Can you hear me?” “Forest Webb?” For a moment she had a dazed idea that Forest was back in St. Joseph, that some- thing was wrong with Barbara. “What — what is it?” “Listen, Sue. Pats is ill—danger- ously ill. In fact, she’s—never mind. The thing is: she wants you. Will you come—at once?” “Wants me?” She could only re- peat his words, parrotwise. Forest betrayed some irritation. “Pay attention, Sue! Pats has set her heart on seeing you before— well, she wants to see you. Isn’t that enough?” Suddenly Sue heard her own voice answering: “No, it’s not! nae should Pats wish to see me? =a why should I go, even if she . joes?” “Sue, you cay’t mean that. She's a dying woman.1... I’ve done everything that can be done for her. The rest is up to you. I don't know. why she’s set her heart on having you come, but she has. You won't refuse her? Please, Sue!” be dissatisfied with our lot, our looks, environment—but, despite | them all, we cannot shirk our re- sponsibility and remain true to ourselves”. At 7:30 p. m. Rev. Lilly will preach on “God Is Love”. This is the subject which none of us can do justice to, Rev. Lilly says. We can only do our best and have results with God.
