te ee Chapter 27 F course, Bruce was anything but overjoyed. If anything, he felt regret—real regret, when he ‘began to receive calls from Gail Lake on the telephone. Always she greeted him with a question that smoldered as it came over the “wire: “When are you coming to see me, Brucie?” He did not tell T’netie about Gail’s calls—nor did he mention the picture which had appeared in the newspaper. And, although she saw it, T’nette said nothing about it either, waiting for him to mention it. But he did not, chiefly because he had no desire to’ reopen cl wounds, So he forgot all about the mat-: ter. It was swept from his mind as the weeks rushed by in a head- long dizzy swirl. He did not notice the subtle change in T’nette; and so it was as if he had been hit in the head when he came home one Saturday afternoon, to a house oddly at rest—quiet. T’nette had written a note: Goose Julie and I have gone to ee ge to spend the winter with Nola. I had to get away. Please edo not follow me. You know I am not an emotional idiot. You have important work to do. Finish it, and then—perhaps, then we can strighten ourselves out. But right now, I don’t want to see you. T’nette. P.S. Why didn’t you tell me you had seen Gail Lake.” His first impulse was to tele- a oe Ps ~ # + cent em oN Hire THE KEY WEST in _ By Frank Riordan court in the land would have given her a divorce on grounds of deser- tion. Divorce! He sat bolt upright. In the same second the name of Robert Say- lor flashed through his mind. jammed T’nette’s note into his pocket, left the guest house, and strode up toward the ranch house. Midway to the house he met Say- lor who was on his way down to the est house.

This is the story of a woman who is tired and who wants to be alone. It is the story of a noble woman—o the only woman—” Saylor’s voice broke momentarily, “the only wo- man I have ever loved.” Bruce recoiled. “No,” Saylor said. “She’s not in love ‘with me—if that’s what you're thinking.” It was exactly what Bruce had -’ It was the cool been thinking; and he felt sud-| hi denly ashamed. This man Saylor —why, a fool could see his middle name. was honor. Still, he was puzzled. “Why did she come to you?” “To say goodbye. And the least I could do was to get them safely aboard the train.” He was silent a moment, then he continued. re- gretfully: “You see, I shall prob- ably never see them again.

He hadn’t the.-vaguest idea what had gone wrong. T’nette was not an emotional firecracker. God knew, she had no reason to stick around Encino, and even~ less reason ‘to stick arourid him.
