The Unexplained Anger ~n1 Tears
 of Mrs Durkcc,

Margaret! Margaret Don't you know what day this is?"
 My mother-in-law's voice, high pitched and anxious came to me through the partition separating her room from mine in the purkoe home. The call was accompanied by a humping which l guessed was made by the heel Of a shoe applied 10 the easing
 I sprang from bed hastily, and going to the wall put my face close to it.
 Just a minute, Mother" called softly but distinctly. m be right in"
 A grouchy "Humph" was her only answer and as l hurried into my bathrobe and slippers, for was too wise to wait to dress when she was In the impatient mood her manner indicated, l knew that was in for a trying day. Facing the mysterious man who, believed, was blackmailing Dckys mother, was bad enough but doing 1t under the handicap of one of my mother in-law's moods was piling things up a little too much, l told myself re- belliously.
 "Today's Tuesday"
 was able, however. to present . smiling face 10 Mother Graham when I entered her room. But there was no answering smile upon her face. Seated upon the edge Of her bed, attired in the gray dressing gown which she prefers to bath robe, she was struggling with her shoes her face red and her breath short. l crossed the room quickly and knelt beside her.
 Suppose you let me do this, Mother" I said, taking the trouble some shoe from her hands.
 She relaxed, rellevedly, but her Face still held a frown.
 You know today's Tuesday" she said accusingly. "and yet you never think about getting up. I'll warrant you'd have slept until noon if l hadn't called you"
 But you did call me" said eheerfully, "and l am up; surely we'll have time for everything. What do you want me to do first? It's only 6 o'clock now" -- l held up my wrist watch for her inspection -- "and they don't have breakfast here until S."
 I'm perfectly aware of the time, Margaret" she retorted trritably and from long experience l knew that she was secretly ashamed of her precipitancy, but she would have been stretched upon the rack rather than to have admitted 1t, Il also know the breakfast hour of the Durkec family.

Tt was a trap Joan. Macarthur hates me. I never followed Haines l never knew him until the day be. fore he freed me from the jail. But we'll talk of it afterward. Now VIC must go at once - quickly, Joan before one of those sleeping tigers in there hears us!"
 She shook her head.
 T cant go, Harry"
 He said the words over to him. self. Then possible explanation came into his mind.
 You've found man here thai you care for!"
 Not one. but all of them"
 Are murderers!"
 They're free men," said Joan.
 "What lies have they been telling you about themselyes?"
 "It's in their faces, Harry"
 "Joan, some strange idea ha. come to you. Come away with me We'll talk of 1t when you're back in your fathers house. And IT teach you to care for me again. Be. lieve me, John, by all that's holy!
 q care more for you now, Harry than I ever did"
 Do you mean that?"
 "Ab, 8 thousand times! But don't come near me! Don't come stel nearer"
 He could not help but come close She made no effort to escape him and 50 suddenly, she was in his arms. But when he leaned to her he found he could not touch hel lips. It was as If an arm stronger than his held him back.
 Let me go, Harry. Let me go, ' she was whispering.
 Not if God can help me to keep you!'
 God would not bring that un- happiness into your life"
 Joan, have you gone mad?"
 I've seen the truth about my self.'
 Let me tell you the truth. Here I can see only a shadow of all that you are. But even that shadow is beautiful as a bright morning. No king in the world is as great man as I if I can hear you say that you love me"
 T do love you, dear"
 "Then come with me-"
 "We would have one month Of happiness, Harry, and then all the rest would be sorrow"
 Give me your trust, and I'll build happiness for both Of us and base 1t on solid rock"
 Its that which I dread. What would you do. Harry?"
 Make you home for our fam lily"
 That's what I dread"
 Then we'll live in d camp wagon - or we'll live in the saddle.
 She freed herself from his hands.
 When l went on the trail with the Captain, thought that was trying 10 find you. But was wrong What I really was hunting for was what l guessed at when l first saw you - strength, strong enough to be free and to stand by yourself. And l felt that there was some thing behind you - that wild free dom into which you could take me with you. But you came tonight claiming me, reaching for me"
 My heads spinning like a top Joan. I'm fighting hard to under stand, but l never said that l want ed to own you"
 You don't call 1t that. But you want to marry me-"
 God willing. And then work for you with all the strength of my soul and my hands"
 "Ah. there it is! Every bit oi work you did for me would be an- other anchor weight around my feet keeping me with you"
 Had he been a smaller man he would have stormed al her. But as it was he waited for a while, realiz- ing the inevitable, determined to battle against it still, but lowing to it for the time being.
