conversation to. the subject OF the
book she was to illustrate. Even
while she did it she felt guilty, for
this was the prime reason she had
urged Iona to include Gary in the
weekend party.
AS her companion outlined the
poignant love story of the lonely
man who had sacrificed his repu-
tation, almost his honor, to protect
the girl he loved, Marcia felt her
sympathy aroused. Gary empha-
sized his sincerity, his ideals. his
lank tallness-and with each
characteristic that he enumerated,
Marcia saw Sandy coming to life
before her. Strange that he
should fit so exactly into the
heroic shoes Of this Manders.
Drea1mily, almost without realizing
it. she sketched the hero in her
minds eve. And almost in every
detail he Was-Sandy.
They talked eagerly Of the
problem before them, Gary trying
to give her his idea for frontis-
piece and marginal Illustrations.
"Of course, most novels of today
don't have illustrations; bad ones
DESTROY the illusion, and even the
best Of them don't always jibe
with the readers conception. But
I want to do something entirely
different in this book. Atmos-
pheric, I guess you'd call it, yet 1
want this man definitely pictured.
The other people and the back
ground may be. elusive; but he
must have character. He must be
convincing. Do you think you can
do it, Marcia? It's a lot harder
than these frivolous magazine ar
ticles you've been doing. It will
take patience"
Marcia was eager to assure him
she could do justice to the task,
and begrudged the hours until
Monday when she could study the
manuscript. Silently, then, they
turned back toward the house.
And as they heard the increasing
noise of the house party, he looked
at her seriously.
"This is the last I'll see Of the
real you, Marcia, until a month
from tonight. Will you kiss me
just once" he asked, then caught
her to him eagerly when she as
sented. my dear, If you do re-
fuse me then, don't know how I
can stand it. I want you so des-
perately!"
He left her there, in the shad-
ows Of the porch, and went on up
stairs. Marcia sat down Imply.
Quickly she forgot her pity in the
exciting plans for the new book
and was. lost to her surroundings
until she heard Lona's voice almost
at her elbow.
"Walt! Stop that!" she heard
her say, and shrank back into the
darkness. She dared not emerge
now, after the suggestive tone Of
those words. Evidently they had
been there some time before she,
engrossed in her own thoughts,
had heard them.
Iona, you are the darnedest
woman" came Waits assured
tones. "You hold a man at arms
length, then give him the glad
eye, then you literally slap his
face. I can't understand you."
"No?" she said suddenly, and
her voice had changed timbre. In
no uncertain terms she continued,
''Then maybe you can understand
this. I think you're undoubtedly
the biggest dolt this town can
boast. And that's saying some-
thing. Maybe there was a time
when I would have thrilled to hear
you give your romantic little
spiel, but I'm not so hard up for
a laugh now. I'd like to bet a
plugged nickel that you're soft

CHAPTER SO


TIE INVOLUNTARY cry of
delight over the beautiful ring
turned into a sigh of disappoint-
ment as Marcia forced herself to
face Gary. {
my dear. things haven't
changed with me-" She told him
briefly yet alphabetically that
she could not accept his love. e
YOU shouldn't feel that way about
me-"
Marcia, there are some things
a man can't help. In my heart I'm
certain that there is real nappi-
ness waiting for us if can only
make you see it. Look, 1 had this
stone set especially for your hand.
It was my mothers, you know"
Eagerly, he held it up again IN
the light, and Marcia realized how
much he expected of her that mo-
ment.
st can't take it, Gary. Not hon
estly," she pleaded with him. Il
seem to be drained of all emotion
these days. Like the big dipper
up there, l don't seem to be
capable of holding anything-it
!! all ! slips through the holes"
! Graphically, she indicated the
widely placed stars that formed
! the heavenly dipper.
"You haven't tried" the man
said deliberately. ct can't still be
anyone else that's keeping you
from me, for I'm sure you haven't
even seen another man lately"
He struck a telling blow for
Marcia had not seen Sandy for
weeks. Being away from her
home so frequently these evenings,
she had missed his few discreet
calls, and Sandy no longer in
truded into her professional hours.
"No," she admitted, then, "but
there is someone else holding me
back just as surely as if he were
standing between us. Maybe 1
haven't seen him lately, but he is
Just as important to me as he
ever was. He wouldn't have a
half-time wife, and most certainly
YOU wouldn't want half-hearted
wife. So that's how it stands,
Gary"
The man was tossing the lumi-
nous ring from hand to hand while
she was talking. I'm going to
make one last try for it, Marcia"
he said frankly. eff I didn't feel
that this other love was burned
out by now, 1 wouldn't dare. But
I'm going to ask you to reserve
your decision for one month. Then
If you still feel the same way, I'll
give up"
"But, if these weeks haven't
changed me, what can you expect
within one more month";"
There's a limit to all things; I
just think you may make up your
mind that I'm not such bad fell
low after all. If not-well we
won't think about that" he con-
Guided, and almost reverently he
tucked the ring back in his pocket.
For just one more month" he
said, with deep significance vi
brating in his voice.
Marcia could not understand his
persistence, even his confidence, in
the face of her very definite re-
fusal. She realized that if. at the
end of the month her answer was
still the same, their close COM
partnership would have to cease.
Surely even the restrained Gary
would admit that.
$50 be it," she shrugged. eff
you think you know my heart bet
ter than I do, We'll give it just
one more month to come alive.
Here's hoping!"
Hand in hand they walked down
the beach. and Marcia turned the
