through sunlight and shadow. Moist, hot
young hands cleaving to each other and tele-
graphing to their owners strange and thrilling
mysteries
There is for every boy and girl moment
when each is the first man and the first
woman. This was their moment. They
tumbled breathless upon heap of last years
fern. They gasped. their hearts throbbed. and
they looked at each other. Then Maureen
said:
''Poof! I'm vewy hOt!'
Tim kissed her. frankly exutingly, and
said they would be married.
There was not much money in the firm, SO
Woolworth supplied the engagement ring -
modest eight carat sapphire. but as an earnest
of better things to come. Maureen cried over
it and cuddled and cherished it far above
rubies She wore it always until the jewel
was lost in fight they had for the only dry
towel during a bathing trip.
And of all that love nothing remained
He let her go. Il suppose there's another
chap?'
Maureen patted her curls into shape.
"Severwal."
Tim smothered goan and tossed laugh
into the air II hope, he said. that they will
be kind to you
His eyes were boring holes into her con-
science as he reached for his hat and knocked
over the vase of chrysanthemums.
''Gweat clumsy fool!' she cried.
He did not reply The broken glass at his
feet was the symbol of broken heart.
From bay window of the studio his mother
watched Tins approach. He looks very
miserable she said. do you think he hates
the idea Of being sent off to France like this?'

Carly said: For good is right Awful little
poop"
Sorry, dad, can't allow even you to
speak word against her."
Don't listen to him. Tmpse. He talks like
this because he's too self-conscious to SYM
pathize. He doesn't mean word"
Don't I?''
Then Tim said: Il know you think I'm
very young - too young to feel anything
seriously but as long as live I shall never
love anybody again. If you don't mind I'll
get on with my packing" He went out and
closed the door quietly.
Mrs. Forester said: "There!'
What nice boy your son is, said Carly.
"You must introduce me one of these days."
As the train pulled out of Charing Cross
Station, Tim squeezed into his seat with a
sigh of relief The last few hours in London,
haunted by bittersweet memories of Maween
had been difficult to handle. He was telling
himself that he would bury all thoughts of
her by plmging into sea of unrenitting
studies. when very tall girl entered the car
riage, looked for an empty seat, exclaimed
"Ah, peste!' and went again. She had not
been present more than three seconds, but
the time was long enough for Tim to have
noticed that she wore long coat of black
cloth and beret as brilliant in colour as
fresh tomato. He saw, too, that she had
white oval face, hair and eyes of intense
blaclness and large angry mouth of vivid
red He saw, in fact, that she was girl of
unusual and arresting type.
A minute later. no seat being elsewhere
available, she planted herself in the corridor
with her back to one of the windows and only
separated from Tins shoulder by the thick

window and put an arm round the artists

It's horrid picture, Carly!'
1T isn't picture. It's cheque for seven
hundred and fifty pounds" He touched her
nose lightly with brush dipped in aureolin.
"Ah." he said. now you look something
like!'
Darling Carly, wish you'd be serious.
Are we right to send Tim off to France by
himself? He's SO impressionable.
It's the only way can think of to get
you to myself"
That's unfair. When have l neglected
you?"
Il wish you'd do it now. You may not like
EN-, but these decorations have to be painted.

The way he said it suggested that he would
devote the rest of his life to their welfare.
Carly shot glance at the son of his body.
Better have pill, old man. Sure to be

smile.

His mother took his arm. "Are you un-
happy, darling, about going away9"
No, mum - not bit. 1t makes no diff

figure bearing a broken heart.
It might be thought the police
man should not have allowed
so tragic a figure to proceed
towards the Chelsea Embank-
ment without following at a
discreet distance. His indif-
ference was an insult to the
contemplation OF suicide which
formed an agreeable background
to Tins distracted mind.
Tim had not really determined
to follow course that led to the
bottom of the river, but self
axtinCtion had assumed an en-
chantment to him that it had
never before possessed. He had,
in point of fact, resolved to live.

Naureen's future happiness by
leaving his saturated corpse on
her doorstep. She was free to go

match into the river and watched
it float away, like JOY. In his
mind he went over the scene
which had just taken place
