I'VE were having coffee in
w the Dreamwold living
" room after our delicious
midday dinner. when Betty. who
was Jeanie's house guest. burst
out suddenly.
Annie, If tomorrow weren't
Monday, I'd stage q faint or an
attack of vertigo right off this
minute!'
why, dear?" I asked, smiling
with keen delight in the fact that
Betty's tone had lost the terrible
hopelessness that marked it when
Tony brought her back to us after
Terry's death in Canada.
Cant you guess2" asked Betty
of Jim.
at wouldn't spoil your conun-
drum" Jim replied. lazily, but with
the underlying respect and friend
illness he has always had for the
woman once called a green jade
goddess
The magnificent and perfectly
coiffed Betty looked very wistfuI
and young now, in her simple
mourning.
There's no conundrum or mys-
terry to my simple statement" de-
clared Betty to Jim. IF tomor-
row were not Monday and the end
Of Anne's leave Of absence, I might
have to think up special stunt to
get her back to the office"
I'D been watching Jim and try
ing to figure out just what inn
preston these half-serious, half
bantering comments were making
on him. His smile might have
been indulgent and 1t might have
been impatient. / decided to ex-
plain that I'd have to take at least
another weeks leave of absence
in order to get out of Betty's
apartment and establish either in
our own quarters or in new and
yet-to-be- discovered ones.
Another weeks leave Of absence
would not commit me to give up
my business, but 1t would pave the
way. Another week would do a
great deal to show whether Jim's
need of me Is so great that IT'S at
once my duty and my deepest
happiness to give up everything
just to devote my life to orr love.
Jim smiled. His expression was
now indulgent, beyond question.
Rosa smiled. also. Her eyes danced
in anticipation OF the words that
tripped from her lips. Her glance
steadied and bored into mine ma
liciously as she spoke.
"Anne is a philosopher. She
knows how IT is that no one is so
much missed that he cannot be re-
placed. Was not Jamie gone for
long, and did she not make-how
you say-go of it without him?
This Mr.. Lacy, he was very help
ful-not? And you. Patricko, and
me and every one-we help. So
any business it can run without
its head. help you. Anne, to get
out of the going back to work.
don't 1? Me-I'm clever little
devil, not?"
Jim reared in appreciation of her
chirky impertinence. Pat and
jeanne smiled with certain amour
of liberation.
well, I can't put it over big,
or put it over at all without you.
Anne" said Betty. in tone that
was just this side Of whimper-
ing. Poor little Miss May is
half-crazy. Ralph Lacy has done
wonders for us. But you can't

1t was done so cleveriy every
one laughed. But knew that
Jim had taken the one courteous
way OF preventing me from an
swering Betty.
An hour later, when Virginia
had come upstairs with me, sup
posedly to help me get ready for
the return trip but actually to
talk about our Phoebe. Jim
strolled into the room to an
nounce that Pat was driving "a
into town and wanted Jeanie to
put on a warmer dress and COME
along. Virginia liked the idea
and ran to make ready. Then
Jim turned to me with curt
directness:
oWhy all this fuss about
Phoebe? A trip to Dreamwold
isn't so terrific, is IT? Think she
might forget to eoffle herself and
come to welcome her brother"
I ran over and put my arms
about Jim. loving him the more
for the masculine densehess.
You. dear big-child." I said,
with my head pressed close
against Jim's heart. ''Of course,
Neal wants to take care Of Phoebe
and cherish. her. She's going to
have a baby"
Jim unwound my arms and
pushed me off more roughly than
he knew.
''Why-Phoebe's nothing but a

Jim got his silver case from his
pocket and selected a cork
tipped cigarette with great care.
Then he went through his pockets
for a match. He inhaled deeply
before he replied. Wanted
breathlessly for his words.
Those kids he frowned.

Jim pleaded.
"Jaimep called Rosa from the
hall. Jaime! I must see. you"
Without another word, without
even a glance Of understanding.
Jim turned and strobe from the
room.

Patrick Murphy, from Tiper-

period. and had just been made a
full-blown police-constable.
AS he stood on point duty in
the busy street he felt very proud
of his dignity and his white
gloves.
"Sure, and I'll make, 'em see
that I'm someone at ALL" he said
to himself.
A car approached, and Pat held
out his hand for it to stop.
