FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1941 Pursued Again ) Uiponvere climbed up to the little 4 room where she had lived with Molly, that evening, feeling as if everything in between had ‘been a dream. Molly shrieked and hugged her; just the same cheerful red-cheeked pony-built girl. They sat down on the un- tidily made bed together in. the old way, and Eileen told her tale. Eileen had forgotten how com- forting that unbridled Irish sym- pathy could be. “Sure, to hell with them all!” Molly said when the story was as far on as the divorce. “But you're in a good job now? I must say I think you were too high-minded about the cash, ... And Eily, I can’t give you back the whole two thousand. Would five hun- dred of it—’ “No, I don’t want it, Molly, you darling idiot! What I do want...” She went on with her story; Lewis Delevan, just as she was settling into training for a won- derful career, wanting to marry her. “But, if you’d see whether Ris could take me back?” “I’m marrying Ris myself next month,” Molly said. “That’s where I put the fifteen hundred. We bought in with a nursery garden in Rye.” She sat back as if she had _ thrown a bombshell. “Oh, how lovely!” Eileen said With delight. After another long silence Mol- ly went on, “I’m an_ungrateful pig to be saying it, Eileen, and ’'m fond of you as well you know, We'll save up and pay back every penny sooner or later. But I won't risk having you back; Ris was too erazy over you and that’s the truth. Nor do I see what’s wrong with this Delevan man, Couldn't you get to caring enough?” “There was Martin—” Eileen aid. “And a fine sweetie he turned out to be—marrying you for a ood joke and he tied up with the Souter woman, I'd have taken sound sum from him, he’d never ave been missing it.” At Eileen’s look she added, “You mean you really cared?” Even Molly thought she’d mar- ried Martin for what he had, Then Molly said unexpectedly, “You poor lamb! But all the more I'd give the other his chance. Just try can you have a taste for him.” Molly hugged her again. They parted good friends. She couldn’t blame Molly. After | all, what she said added up to; good sense. Lewis Delevan wasn't hurrying her. She could go on, now she knew, thinking it over. She had been bracing uncon- sciously against his charm, she had somehow been vaguely dis- trusting him, And what good were her intuitions? She'd trusted Martin, She’d give Lewis a fair chance, let herself go. She went home, on the decision. As time passed she found that he kept his promise at the office, But he was seeing her more and mote out of office hours. He was calling for her at the Y¥.W.C.A., where impressed secretaries thencéforward were politer be- cause she knew Mr. Delevan of | the Willesdon Institute. He was taking her to theaters and lec- tures. Presently shé had a raise. Explosion S= supposed herself to be drift- ing, giving Lewis his chance. She woke to her mistake one eye- ning when, calling for her in her | pretty. one-room apartment, he} id abruptly, “We won't go to| fand School tonight. I don’t see | half enough of you—” And had} her in his arms. What emerged after a brief volcanic scene was the fact that Lewis had not supposed her to be | thinking over her decision. He was taking their eventual mar-j riage for granted. “You love me, whether you ad- | mit it or not,” he said. “We| haven’t time for old-fashioned coquetries in this moment of the world. I have great things to do. With your help I can do them. I meed you. You need me.” The deep rough convinced Voice, the dominant blazing eyes, mearly swept her under, So far as Lewis was concerned, when he | wor left her that night, feeling as if| she had been through a hurri- cane, it was settled, Eileen sat; “ }time. The girls were right, I was | down in the trim chintz room that ‘was still beating with the intens- ity of Lewis Delevan's person- ality. She tried to think. No Was nO good reason why it should not be settled. But the next morning, as she sat down to a table of blueprints under the efficient if hostile eyes of Miss Perry in charge of re-! search, it came to her that she couldn't go on till she had got help on her problem from some- one who knew Lewis.

Only a neat stack of typed papers, orderly folders, gray-covered reports, Yay beside the filing case ready to be put away. There was no sign of Miss Lee.

Is Miss Lee moving?” Eileen de- manded. The trim black satin back whirled round. Miss Bernstein’s usually gentle dark-eyed olive ‘face was one snarl of undisguised fury, “Yes, movies out for that yel- low yes-man Burton to come in!” she spat. “I wonder you dare ask, you dirty, sneaking little double- erosser. And she’s been so good to you, like she is to everybody. Just too decent and high-minded to believe you could be the sort you are. She wouldn't believe it. Thaf's what she said to me. “I can searcely believe it even now, Sally,” she said. She was crazy over you.” Eileen . said blankly, “Believe what?” But before Sally answered she knew. “What everybody knew, that you're Saint Lewis’ girl, and his first-class one-woman spy sys- tem!” Sally was scarlet and al- most screaming, “That you're made Miss Lee believe in you and reported every word back to Saint Lewis like a damn little dictaphone, till he did like he al- ways does with anybody he thinks might possibly get anywhere near him on merit — threw her out!

Now get out!” “You're crazy.” Eileen stood with her hands clenched at her sides, hoping what she said was true. “I’m going to find out from Mr, Delevan, right now, and make you take back every word.” “Don’t you worry, I won’t' be Here; he won't Keep anybody loyal to Miss Lee. Will you get out before I throw you out?” Sally advanced on. her. with clawed hands, like a fury. There was nothing to do but to go. “Outworn” ILEEN rushed into Lewis Delevan’s office without warn- ing. He looked up in surprise. He was—and her heart sank further —in conference with that very Burton; and Burton was, she had always secretly felt, very. much what Sally Bernstein described him. “Well, my dear girl,” Lewis manner. “What's happened?” She stood still trying to speak quietly. “May I see you alone when you have finished talking to Mr. Burton?” Mr, Burton looked at her ad- miringly. “My business can wait, Miss Eileen. No hurry, none at all.” He rose, he was fawning on her, she was important, to be courted. She felt sick. “Now what, darling?” Lewis smiled down at her as the door shut. It was the affectionately ‘amused possessiveness a man gives his own little feminine thing, “Mustn’t go off the handie like that. : She stepped back from his en- circling arm. “Miss Bernstein says you've @ischarged Miss Lee!” “Sorry, dear, if you liked her. The board feels she’s past her prime — her methods are out- worn.” “She told me,” Eileen’ said, looking him in the face, “only last week, that Mr. Beasley told her she was one of the ablest women in her field. And another of the a splendid administrator, She was so happy over it.” “I remember you telling me.” “T did tell you. That was why.” She was staring at him.
