He never sought my company alone

"Yes."
1T wanted you to 60 with us

almost in panic. I'm afraid I was
rather hateful. But all he said was,

The question came swiftly.

Don't misunderstood my first
question, Joan. I want to get it in the
record What do you know about this
guy that calls himself Sloan Elledge!
How well do you know him?"
Joan's clear brown eyes did moi
waver.
II don't know Sloan Elledge at all
Mac. I never saw the man until

H ENE has changed in every
way" Joan said, answering
! Deeds question. He used
to be so reckless in every
thing he said and did, always active.
There's something about him now
that's -. gentle, almost. You can't
know how different :" Joan'S
troubled gaze was fixed on the water.
II was almost in a panic when I
found he was here after all these years,
but he did his best to make it easy
for me -. right from the start"
"Very decent" Deeds said.
More than that, Mac >. it's been
almost pathetic. Something has hap
pened to him. I found that out the
first time we talked. He seemed sort
OF broken. 1t isn't easy to explain"
IT know"
He told me again that he was will
ing to give me my freedom, if want
ed it. But he hoped wouldn't,
for just a little while. He said he
needed me. I can't make it very clear,
because he didn't. But he made me
feel that he was holding on to me as
an ideal, I guess. He insisted
that he had made hash out of his
life . that he had nothing to ask
of me. but -"
But what?"
"Only that I would try to stay for a
little time where he could see me.
And remember. That's the way he
put it. I don't love him, Mac. Our
elopement was the result of childish,
romantic ideas. I never really loved
Gene but he made me feel that
he was depending on me now In some
way. I can't make you understand"
You're putting some pieces to-

Gene and I had quite a visit last
night, sitting on the sand down at
Harbor Gate. thought he was in the
dumps different from what had
seen him. He intimated that he was
not in trouble, exactly but
that nothing was worthwhile. Said,
among other things, that he never
had made anybody happy. I thought
it was funny he should confide in me,
but figured it was nothing but case
of feeling low. I tried to jar him out
of it."
Deeds decided to let the explanation
rest there. No good in mentioning
