In an almost unbelievably short
time after 1 had discovered her re-

on the threshold.
She put out her two hands to me

in a voice as taut as an E-string,
Betty questioned me:

eyes were wide with the pain of

went to her throat, clutched there
for a second then laid itself across
her cool lips. l knew she was
probing a deeper wound than the
one on her hand. And it was for
me-to help me. l went over and
took that SCARED hand in both of
mine.
Betty, 1 do understand a little.
Somehow I've been coming closer
and closer to you for weeks. In the
beginning I was jealous-I thought
you were so beautiful Jim couldn't
help-caring for you. j thought
every man who knew you must

'Dont-don't, Anne!" cried Betty
