along, agreeing that the only sensible thing
to do was to use their apartment for their

Every day at the office Section 2l3 made
itself felt. Familiar faces vanished as wives
gave up their work and went back to idleness
in more stringent poverty.
The moment Valerie was released from the
office on the day after the Storm she flew
home and cooked her fathers dinner. She
pretended to eat her own; but was saving her
appetite for her feast with Neal

When they arrived at the apartment. -

Neal called down the dumbwaiter to the
Janitor to send up the trunk. The heat came
up with bang when they turned on the
radiators. The janitor had no curiosity about
the new tenants except as to the amount of
trouble they would cause.
Getting dinner was festival of childish
hilarity. Everything was piled on the table
at once, and the two we're constantly racing
each other to the kitchen and wrestling for the
dishes, kissing each other and whoopine with
laughter
After the helter-skelter dinner, the washing
and wiping of the dishes and putting them
away was another game. Then they adjourned
to the living room and told each other how
happy they were. When they we're shocked to
find it suddenly midnight, they stole out
quietly lest the neighbors learn of their es-
cape. When Neal left Valerie at her door, they
agreed that life was worth living after all.
Valerie found her father asleep and went
to her bed feeling guilty. proud of her
strategy.
Among the furnishings of the apartment
was radio, and it brought in all the outside
world when they wanted it. Sometimes they
took turns in reading aloud. Sometimes they
played cards. They did everything they could
to pass the time and keep their minds off the
thoughts they must not think.

stepped in drowsiness that they fell asleep

The incident. however, made Valerie realize

The room was dark the bed empty. The
dining room was empty and the sting of

She pushed it open with difficulty, for rug

She did everything she could think of to
revive him, and finally he returned to her,
reluctantly, weeping pitiably as she poured
out on him her prayers and her love, telling
him how she needed him, how black life would
be without him. She made him take an oath
that he would never make another such

Clifford laughed inside himself at
this transparent secretary, and
found the clue to the confusion
when he approached Neal one
afternoon with a plea:
I'm sorry, my boy, but could
you manage to come to the office
tonight? l hope I'm not breaking
up any important date you've got
on, but I've got to get out some
papers,"
Neal replied: why, of course,

ming - nothing at ALL"
As soon as Clifford turned
away, Neal typed off a hasty note
to Valerie: angel of my heart,
my thug of a boss is keeping me
from you tonight to do some of his
silly neglected business. My heart
aches to be with you but a bung-
ling slave driver forbids.' etc.
etc. He slipped this into an en-
velope addressed to the sour
bellied chief of another depart
ment, old Oliver Gunderson. and
put the technical memorandum
intended for GundersOn into an
envelope addressed to Valerie.
When a messenger brought her
Meals envelope, Valerie was
alarmed by its contents, and sent
it back to him in haste. But she
was too late to enable Neal to stop
the Gunderson messenger, and
that old office-walrus almost died
of spontaneous combustion when
he ripped open the envelope adj
dressed to him and found himself
addressed as Angel of my heart. !"
He reared for his own secretary,
and dictated a scorching retort
which he returned with Meals
letter, giving the messenger special
orders to place it in Gifford's own
hand.
Clifford laid before Meals pop
ping eyes his letter to Valerie
calling his chief a neglectful thug
and bungling slave driver. Be-
fore Neal could offer his resigna-
ton he heard Clifford saying:
Its a wise boss who realizes
that his staff sizes him up as a
cross between a jackass and a
grizzly bear with a sore nose"
"Oh, Mr.. Clifford, L"
But l try to keep my sore
nose out of beehives and it s none

Valerie and Neal found their

dream-duet about their future

that the snow was half an inch
