wife now, his sweetheart even as
he was, no matter how he grieved
or failed me, my man-for all times

Jim. Are you my girl-my little
sweetheart?"
Yes" 1 whispered; Il love you,

"a question that had been trou-

left arm and laid his right hand on
Terry,s shoulder, and, standing IN
that warm intimacy, he spoke IN
his most magnetic tones:
A Big Deal On.
