I'm tired OF arguing. m Urea Oh
quarreling and waiting and hoping.
1t seems to me that wise people,
when they discover that they can't
have what they most desire, make
otter desires, build their lives
around possibilities.
Skater true ideals and make
false ones?"
Not true. Just different"
Ann, Is there some one else?
Have you come to care for another
MANN month";"
mo, no. Of course not"
Ann, dearest, I want to ask you
one question. If all the obstacles
to our marriage were removed,
would you marry me tomorrow"
yes, If I could marry you to-
morrow. Please don't, Phil"
you don't care for my kisses
any more? You dislike them?"
II LIKE them too we'll. The OBJ
Il stacles aren't removed-they
are getting bigger all the time, and
there are more of them.
1T seems to me That all this
kissing and being ectatic for mo-
ments, or even hours together, when
nothing can come of it but another
mean, miserable quarrel and an~
other end, isn't so very different
from forming any other bad habit"
Ann, that is horrible thing to
say! You've changed. You never
used to talk like that"
'Of course I've changed. But the
other is true. 1t is just like per-
son who keeps on drinking. when
he knows that drinking will kill
him in the end.
1--WE heard that the cures for the
drink habit are terrible. Well, I've
taken the cure, Phil, and I'm not 60
ing to take it again. I'm through,
dear. Not because I wish to be
through, but because I have to be-"
Il won't allow you to be. We both
made mistake, Ann. But I'll take
oil Tie DldIue.
Neither of us was to blame. And
neither of us would be to blame the
next time"
An automobile, two round bright
lights cutting the darkness, was
coming up the driveway. Ann
thought, tits Grand and Rosalie.
I'd forgotten all about them for
hours. How pleasant-that I should
have forgotten all about them for
hours. Butt should have worried.
But-here they are, now!"
Phil" she said. Grand and Ro-
sale are coming home with the
Carmichaels. I don't want them to
find you here. lit would start so
many things over again.
They've been difficult lately.
Won't you please go down into the
trees--quickly? Until after they've
gone into the house, 1 mean?"
Il am not hiding behind trees to-
night, Ann"
Grand's voice and Rosalie's voice.
Goodnight. Thank you again for a
beautiful day. Goodnight, Mr.. Car
michael-goodnight ="
But to help me, Phil? They've
been so difficult. Just - to help
me?"
Phil sat immovable until he stood
because Rosalie, with Grand'S arm
about her or, at least, halfway
about her-came up the steps.
Grand said, "Ah, Ann? Is that
Philip? All, Philip. I trust, Ann,
that you have not been needlessly
worried"
Well" Ann replied shamefully,
wickedly, "of course, it is late. After
Rosalie began, THE Carmichaels'
clack had stopped, and"
But Grand said, Il beg your par
don, my DEAR" and turned to Phil.
"As my granddaughter says, the
hour is late. Very late. May 1 ask
sir, why you are here at my home,
at this late hour, with Amp"
AM mere, Mr.. FenWlcK, Pnll
l. answered, right in Grand's
strain, "for the same reason that
have been coming here for years.
Because I love Ann and wish to
marry her"
"Ah? You wish, again, to marry
Amp"
Il have never ceased wishing to
marry her."
You love her? You could sup
port her?"
Il love her very much. / could
support her, yes"
Ann inserted, But, Grand"
"One moment, if you please, Ann
Do you or do you not love Philippe
Ann thought, Dear heavens
