CHAPTER %

KATHLEEN loved Kim. Kim
was going to marry AliX. To
these three those two simple
phrases were written in letters of
fire that flashed in and out of
their consciousness.
TO Kathleen it was the long,
slow ache.
To Kim, it was charming idea
slightly beclouded by his sense of
not doing exactly the fair thing.
He couldn't have told you why but
he kept Kathleen out of his mind
as much as he could.
To Alix, it was now impossible.
At best, it had seemed like some
thing else in this weird dream she
was living, living without feeling.
It was something that was going
to happen soon yet there was no
soon. Time was timeless and as
vague as the void in which she
lived. She said she would marry
him, become Mrs. Kimball Preston.
Perhaps if she became Mrs. Kim
ball Preston, she wouldn't ever be
the girl that AliX Carey was. That
was why she said she would. She
said it the way she felt, as though
her voice and some strange new
mind were occupying her body. A
new mind and voice that had moth
ing to do with her old one or her
heart. They were strangers in
her house and they were going to
make over that house. In a little
time you would never know what
it had been like before when it was
young.
Wasn't she still young? Twenty
four wasn't old. But it can be
very old when it has embraced ex-
perience,, warmed its maturing
years at the fires Of love and felt
the chill of dying love.
AliX grew older in those few
weeks. 1t was as though expert
ence were a sculptor molding the
contour of her cheek, drawing her
mouth little straighter, softening
the first bitterness that showed
there with tempered line Of SYM
pathy. Sympathy she had learned
to feel for Kathleen Crosby.
Why hadn't Kathleen told her
she cared for Kim as she did? Why
hadn't Kathleen known that this
was going to happen and have
saved herself?
AliX couldn't go to her then,
when she had not spoken save with
her eyes, and say II know, Kath-
leen. I'm terribly sorry about it
all but you sec I didn't know"
She couldn't say, Here he is.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-10-19

Here is Kim. I'm giving him back
to you." Because Kim wasn't a
book or flower Kim was a man
who knew his own mind.
Alix thought he did.
Helen Preston didn't agree with
her.
Kim's mother had never met
Alix: she'd been in Europe
during the winter and spring
She'd heard enough of the girl
from Kim and Kathleen, believed
her to be the mutual friend of
both. Then Kim had greeted her
at the boat saying casually,
Mother, I want you to ask AliX
Carey to dinner as soon as you
cam"
And she had answered, why ?"
Because I'm going to marry her
and 1 think you two ought to
meet"
She said she would and sent for
Kathleen.
Helen Preston was only Is years
older than her son. She was not
the Whistler type of mother. She
was only Al and looked 35. Her
point of view was as modern as
her clothes. She was Kathleen's
first cousin.
Kathleen found her in her dim
drawing room, issuing orders to a
household staff. answering the
telephone. opening, reading and
throwing away the accumulated
post.
why the hurried call to me,
Cousin Helen? 1t looks as though
you had plenty to do without me
around today"
"Umm," Helen said and gave
Kathleen a glance that saw more
than you'd think in one so short.
"How was Paris ?"
Lovely. There are no Americans
there now. But Venice, my dear!
After waiting all my life to see
Venice, the only time could stand
it was in the moonlight"
II may go over this summer"
Kathleen said slowly.
Helen Preston wheeled around in
her chair, THAT will be all, Katie.
You can go now and YOU. Hans. I"
She dismissed her servants. She
left her desk and went over to sit
on the divan with Kathleen.
Tell me about it," Kathleen
said.
do you take sugar, Kathleen ?"
Helen poured fragrant tea while
she chartered. TT was very ex-
citing. I saw King Edward and
Barbara Hutton. She's lovely!
They weren't together, of course.
I bought two wretched frccks in
Paris and went on a mad cruise to
Dalnlatia. Kathleen, what's this
nonsense about Kim marrying this
AliX Carey person? ?"
Her question came so unexpect-
edly Kathleen was not prepared
for it. Her cup ratified against its
china saucer held by a hand that
shook unaccountably.
ut isn't nonsense, Cousin Helen, !"
she said quietly.
1T is to me-" Helen answered
shortly.
I'm the first place, she isn't an
Alix Carey person. She's a gen.
tlewoman and friend of mine"
Really" her cousin asked with
lifted brows.
why should you doubt it?
Helen drained her cup and said,
Simply that l didn't believe, even

"She didn't, after all. It was
just one of those things. APP
parently they fell in love which
isn't so unusual. And she didn't
take him away from me-"
"Oh, yes, she did, my dear girl.
Kathleen, I've known you since
you were baby. know you as
we'll as my own son-better be-
cause you are a woman. I know
as well as you do what is in your
heart. I've known ever since you
were six years old that you've been
in love with Kim"
"Oh, please. Cousin Helen
don't!"
why not? 2" that lady asked rea-
sonably. II didn't ask you to come
here to weep on my shoulder or
for any reason of idle curiosity. I
asked you here because I want to
protect Kim's happiness. 1 happen
to think you are the one to do it,"
Listen" Kathleen leaned for
ward earnestly, "Alix is lovely.
She's as intelligent and well-bred
as she is attractive to look at.
You'll like her. T.. I didn't
know that she was in love with
Kim but she must have been be-
cause she would never marry him
unless she meant to make him
happy"
what about Kim?
Kim was fascinated from the
moment he met her. Kim is
poetic, romantic, he couldn't have
helped being in love with her. I
want them to be happy"
"You hit the nail right on the
head! Fascinated is what he was.
I don't like to say this about my
own son, Kathleen, but I know
him; he is like his father-loves
only when ne is deeply loved. You
are the only person who could ever
love him that way and your UNI
swerving love all these years has
bound him to you. I want Kim to
marry you."
Kathleen smiled a drawn little
smile, Cousin Helen, invite Alix
to dine with you. You'll want to
mother her. You'll see."
II never wanted to mother any,

She didn't want to mother Alix

Then Helen Preston said, well,
Alix, do you think you'll like us

Suddenly Alix discovered what
she was going to do.

Kim might not have been there
at all while Alix and Helen ex-
changed an understanding glance.
But you are going to marry
me-" Kim said when they were
alone. you've given me your
promise and I'm not going to let

Peggy LandOn Speeds

Urges Serum Use
For PARALYSIS

SAN FRANCISC, G.N.S0.
The serum treatment in infantile
paralysis should not be discarded
without further investigation de-
spite the fact that many medical
men have cast doubts on it's value,
according to DR.. Karl F. Meyer,
Director of the Hooper Founda-
ton of Medical Research.
Data collected from approx.
mately $500 paralysis cases in the
1884 outbreak in Denmark proves,
according to DR.. Meyer, that the
use of serum in the treatment is
not entirely useless.
Early admission Of the patient
to a hospital, and prompt serum
treatment of an average dose of
one cubic centimeter per kilogram
bodyweight has shown that serum
plays significant part in check
ing the dread malady, DR.. Meyer
stated.
