The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-06-28
BY A. L. DENTON

From his wide window in the Lakeview sanatorium Randy could see quite a long way down the shaded walks which wound lazily in and out until they finally ended at the front gate on Lexington avenue. To help idle away his hours of uselessness 1t was his habit to sit at the window and watch for visitors.
 Sometimes his mother and dad came, or his sister. But he was always sure of at least three visits a week from his fiancee, Judith the one really bright thing left in ! his life.
 He lay back in his wheel chair, his head propped upon pillow, an open book lying forgotten on his knees. It was afternoon and he was expecting visit from Judith. He speculated upon the turn the conversation would take; 1t always took the same turn.
 "But Randy" Judith would say, wont you please keep trying to use your legs?" She never could understand that one just couldn't will those things. And no amount of explanation would convince her that he had tried as hard as he possibly could.
 T know it's tough on Judy" he reasoned to himself, but just be- cause I'm paralyzed from jumping three stories during fire. I can't talk myself into being we'll" That was his answer to the problem. It was two years since Randy, who from childhood had dread- ed fire, had been trapped in his burning office building and in panic had leaped from a window. His eyes lighted up suddenly as he espied Judith swinging down the walk with his young nephew, Jimmy, clutching one hand. What a picture she made, with her light summer frock and a wide.brimmed hat jauntily covering her golden hairl A glow of pleasure came to his face, to be chased by q quix. otic frown.
 He thought petulantly, why doesn't she break our engagement and marry someone who at least Is all there?" But even as the half-spoken thought came to him he knew that without Judy there was nothing left for him.
 Radiantly smiling, Judy burst into the room and Randy wheeled his chair about to face her.
 Hello, Judy! My, you certainly look like a, uh---" bride, he was about to say, but he caught 1t in time. picture right out of a book! She laughed.
 "You old flatterer." she chided, wrinkling up her nose at him, "Pl bet you spent the better part Of an hour thinking that one up!" She stood beside him, punched ana str aightened the pillow behind his back, But just the same you de- serve q kiss for t."
 With her soft lips pressing his and her nearness engulfing him m a faint perfume, Randy all at once knew the futility of his yearning' TO tie this alive, attractive girl to himself, to make of her q lifelong invalid's nurse .. '! He thrust the thought angrily aside.
 Judy brushed back a stray lock of his wavy hair where 1t had fal- len over his forehead and sat upon
