eve wandered TO square white
envelope on his desk. 1--WE got an
errand to do and then I'll come
over"
"All right, Bill, I'll be waiting"
That last statement was like
Dorcas Hill-chcerful, unquestion-
ing, matchmaking, waiting.
Bill swung the telephone arm
out Of his way and picked up the
square white envelope. He slipped
the sheet of paper covered with
neat backhand writing out of the
envelope. There was a fragrance
that came with it.
A fragrance that made him
think of soft, honey-colored hair,
of eyes dark as the blue of night
skies, of something restless, hurt
in a fragile girl of whom he al
ways had been very fond.
He lit a battered pipe and,
drawing on it slowly. he read and
reread her letter. He was trying
to see, not the words which were
clear enough, but something back
of them that he did not under
stand.
The poor kid! Trying to be
brave and light when she was
seeking escape from something.
AliX hadn't fooled Bill Boyd.
He remembered the first time he
had seen her with tears streaming
down her little-girl face, hair rib
bon dangling, crying her heart out
because her jeering audience of
small, savage boys wouldn't rescue
a kitten in a tree. Bill hadn't
wanted to rescue it because he was
small and savage, too, then. But
he had. And he'd punched a cou-
pie of noses because their owners
had jeered at him saying, Bill
Boyd's Allies beauw Nevertheless
he had gone off blushing a healthy
red.
He'd always thought of himself
as Alix's beau from then on for a
good many years. Even for year
or two after she'd gone to New
York. Lovely, story book Alix
who would forever be the lady in
distress to him.
He removed his sturdy boots
from the desk and went to the
safe, taking a small book from a
locked compartment.
He studied the rows of figures
for while, pondered thoughtfully
and drew on his pipe. Alix didn't
have anyone in the world. She
didn't have a comfortable home to
come back to, folk who were SYM
pathetic.
By golly, she did!
He pulled the telephone to him
and asked the operator for a num-
Der.
Hello, Mae? let me talk to
Miss Alexander. Hello Mae ?
This is Bill"
There was pleasure in Mae
Alexander voice, Hello, Bill!
I'm glad you called me. I wanted
to tell you I'll be able to pay you

bee bought that highboy I picked

lighted. What is it?"
Its about a friend of mine. I
kind of thought I'd drop around
and talk it over with you around
four o'clock"
He went back to his work for
an hour and whistled cheerfully.
He whistled while he took a
shower and PIT on the clothes
made by a tailor in Bond street,
London.
He parked his small car in front
of Mae Alexander's decorating
shop and jumped lightly over the
swung the car around the corner
and stopped it before the telegraph
Office, sent off wire and went to
fetch Dorcas.
II feel good, today" he said to
her. Lets get 10 steaks"
"You must be hungry" she said
when he had bought enough steak
for fireman's picnic, pickles, rolls
and an armful of other groceries.
Il am" he answered cheerfully.
I'm going to finish off my dinner
by eating you"
I'D be an awfully big bite and
not very sweet"
You'll do for me-" he said, and
you'd think he had paid her the
prettieSt compliment she had ever
heard.
Dorcas Hill was no lady in dis
tress. She was plain, handsome
sometimes, but she was womanly.
She played tennis, golf and bad
minton like a man but she had a
woman's way Of nursing a sick
puppy, making a man feel COM
Portable and having another wom-
an trust her.
She chauffeured for her father,
DR.. Hill, kept house for the doctor
and her mother, headed the newly
founded chapter of the Junior
league, found time to serve on
charity boards and enjoyed her
life to it's limits. :
For a year now, there had been
Bill Boyd and the good times they
shared. And the parallel lines of
their lives slowly were converging
toward happy ending.
She thought of that with quiet
contentment as they stood Shout
der to shoulder that night watch
ing the harvest moon rise red and
beautiful in the October sky.
Alix Carey didn't see it.
Coming home on that October
night, her eyes CROPPED through
the dimness of the hall in her
apartment house to the table
where the mail was tossed. She
saw what she had been seeking, q
telegram.
Her fingers shook and some
thing in her quaked as she tore
the yellow envelope.
She read:
