The Book ofDeborah
BY JANE LORIMER

Nowadays wise profs explain it, I've
forgotten how-well ask Chrys."
"At least this blue gladioli which
you say may be the only n of It's
kind, is real today. And my dream
isn't-never was-never can BEL"
Deborah said with an odd little smile.
Goodbye, Jane! Come over =
soon!"
After she had gone. I sank into the
swing in my pine grove.
"Oh, la. la" said myself to my
self. I'm glad Deb couldn't see
all I saw just now I saw the mad
whirl Jim and his wife were in for.
They're off for places Ann has never
been to-vast smart hotels-just the
same the world around-London,
Paris. New York. Calcutta-same
people, same fashions, same talk.
same laughter over same jokes. And
Ann thinks 1t is real life!' Just what
she's been starving for! And II Jim
goes to the beaches and the mount
aims where his friends are then men
will spoil hat silly Ann! But she
will have a corking good time In the
casinos, On her honeymoon!
Oh my goodness"
l sat up so suddenly that I tumbled
out of my balanced swing.
"But-if Jim had married Deborah
he would now be headed for the
Nova Scotia wilderness or for her
fathers fishing shack by a Maine
trout stream. A girl like Deb would
want to go honeymooning just as far
from the crowd as she could get. She
would want-out of all the world
just her husband" I unused as
climbed back into my unstable seat.
From my observation of a hus-
band, l should say that the average
man would be equally satisfied with
either experience. But Jim isn't the
average. He's-a kind of knight" /
sighed. "And he is never going to
know what "a marvellous girl he
missed marrying! But there's one
consolation: he will never suffer for
he will never give Deborah Burns
a single thought! And of course he
ought not to-"
1 honestly hoped he would not.
But somehow, it seemed to me that
Deborah was being cheated. She
deserved to have her devotion re-
cognized. rewarded. at least. by a
thought.

dine had paid the balance? Her
cheeks flushed, and then she raised
her head proudly. At n rate she
would rather accept "a thing like
that from Geraldine who loved her.
than from this man who had disap-
proved of her from birth.
II know what you're thinking,
her father went on. You think
your fancy friends will come to your
help. Well they won't, don't worry.
They don't want to get mixed up in
ANYTHING like this. 1t was a novelty
for the wealthy Mrs Carpenter to
take a little nobody like you and
dress you up like a puppet for her
own amusement and while it lasted
I've no doubt that she had many a
good laugh. But it's all over and
done with now"
Anne lowered her head quickly to
hide the tears that sprang to her
eyes. If this were true. and h had
to begin all ove again after the
beautiful interlude with Geraldine,
IL her days were to once more be-
come gray with the hours dragging
by on leaden feet, then she would
Just as soon die.
'SThat got you, did it?" her father
was saying. II thought it would.
Well, II you know what's good for
you, you'll do as / say from now on,
in everything. do o hear me?'
menacingly. TITS a good thing for
you that I didn't give you h
thrashing you deserve"
why didn't your" Anne famed
suddenly. II expected IL. ! wish
you had killed me-"

IoUking-e- his watch, Il must get
along now, so upstairs with yCS.
Locked in your room you'll have a
better afternoon than you've had in
a long time, a more profitable after
noon, and 1 think it won't hurt you
to wear your own clothes for once"
He marched Anne upstairs and
stood at the door as she entered the
room. A moment later she was
alone again. the key turned in the
lock and she was listening to her
father go downstairs. A moment
later she heard him open the outer
door and walk down the street.
Anne's room was a queer shape.
1t had a window on the street and
a window at the side of the house.
She walked over to this window now
and looked down. Within a few feet
of her was the wall of the next
house, but there was nothing put
side of her window by which h
could climb to the ground even
though she knew that 1t was unlike
" that the Jordans would see her.
Mrs. Jordan was b~ed-ridden and
stayed in her DON most of the day.
Anne thought desperately. II only

her fathers a 1t would be an easy
matter to escape, but here she was
apparently helpless. entirely at her
fathers mercy. And it would go on
like this indefinitely unless some
thing unexpected happened. Her
fathers words concerning Geraldine
returned to make Anne still more
unhappy. Was it true, and did Ger
aldine care for her only as an ex-
pertinent? Could life be as cruel
as that2

1t wasn't leap year. But the girl
knew in her own heart. Unfortun-
ately. the man she loved didn't know
his. He was a noted doctor and he
knew a lot about spines and rye
and things. but nothing about that
most fascinating and wonderful
thing in the world-a woman's
heart. He had done just about
everything he could think OF to hurt
and humiliate and bruise the heart
of the one woman in all the world
who had rel really interested him.
And in spite of his cleverness he
still remained in dire ignorance OF
the state of her heart and his own.
Things were really at a pretty pass.
The girl was as proud as a Lady

CHAPTER Xiv
Anne heard the key turned In the
lock, and then the door was hung
open and her father stood on the
threshold. He glared at the girl and
she looked back at him evenly. He
would have been better pleased IL
he had found her in tears, but there
wasn't the yielding in her nature
that he had encountered in her
mother.
WELL" he said, after a minute.
.ff YOU want anything to eat

I'm not golng 10 fetch snd carry for
you
Anne rose and went downstairs,
followed by her father, who sat in
the kitchen while she prepared a
meal. They ate in silence. a strange
meal, Anne wondering IL her days
were to be like this from now on;
III she were to be kept locked in her
room excepting at meal times, when
she would be forced down to the
Kitchen to prepare meals for herself
and her father.
They finished, and Anne did the
dishes while her father smoked on
the back porch. casting a wary eve
on the girl every few minutes. When
she was finished and had hung the
towels on the line. he sneered at her
broadly.
