was making her chocolate, and an
nounced that she was going to help
me get the breakfast.
II have yours almost ready,
dearest"
She stood on tiptoe, and brushed
my cheek with her lips. II am
not going to have my chocolate in
bed any more"
"Why not?"
II am going to be the angel Of
the house, jerry" There was a
new. look in her eyes, as she stood
in front of me, beating a tattoo
with her slender fingers on the
breast of my flannel shirt. "You
take care of your job, and I'll take
care of mine. I'll get Mrs. Hayes
to show me things"
Mimi" I protested, 81 hate to
have you do it."
"You mustn't hate it, Jerry. It
weakens me-" her lips trembled.

haps, you can't stand realities
That if you see me without my
war paint-you won't love me-"
II shall always love YOU"
She nodded. ooh, of course.

hands are rough, and my hair at

"You will never be like Dora

a little. after I've washed mil

We had talked for a long time
the night before. We had declared
to each other that we would shut,
definitely, the door Of the life
which was behind us. Mimi had
chung to. me, sobbing, she had
seemed all mine for the moment.
I had sworn that with her as my
goddess would write with an in
spired pen. And things would
work out for us, was sure, if we
loved enough.
We were very every
thing had seemed, for the moment.
possible. We did not know our
selves. We did not know each
other. We did not know life. We
were like untried warriors, riding
valiantly to battle.
Well, we got the breakfast-and
Mimi burned the toast.
But tomorrow I shan't burn it.

kiss to me across the table.
Yet, when breakfast was over.

desk. Lets ride for an hour" I
land come back and do
the work."
We rode for more than an hour.
and came back and washed the
dishes; and ate lunch, and washed
more dishes. I sat down at my
desk at three, and another storm
came up; the thunder roared and
the rain swept across the valley.
the lightning was like conf1agra-
ton. Mimi was afraid, Ind ran
into my room, and ]. comforted her.
Then it was time for dinner-and
we washed more dishes; we
again mounted our horses and rode
up and up the trail to see the
moonlight on our little lake.
When we returned. 7 said 0AFv

"Oh, you're too tired tonight,

But tomorrow was much the
same, and the day after, and at

CHAPTER As

FULLER WAS, I know, as sur
prised as when Mimi announced
she would not ask him to dine with
us. "You aren't? Why not?"
Because up. here in the noun
tains, where men are red blooded, %
there was laughter in her voice,
"real men. you know, there might
be danger"
what kind of danger?"
"You and Jerry would be at each
others throat before the evening
was over. Isn't that. the way it. is
always in novels? A lonely spot
three people-gun play-tragedy?
It is what we get in the movies,
isn't it?
He was impatient. my dear
Mimi, be serious"
81 am serious"
"You are not"
In spite of her light manner, I
knew that she was in dead earnest.
She was still playing the game, but
the stakes were high. She didn't
want Andy to see our ugly house.
She meant that he should not see
it. He should not take back with
him the story of her disillusion-
ment. And her quick mind had
found this way out of it.
Yet, I hated the way she had
found. I wanted her to say, ooh,
we've got a hideous old house,
Andy, but we're happy. Things
aren't a bit what we expected
but we are happy. You can go
back and say to my friends that I
am happy because Jerry is mine
and I am his-and nothing else
counts but that"
l know now that such an atti-
tude was too much to expect of
any woman. But I judged her by.
myself. I hated poverty-but
rather than spend my life without
her I would have tramped the
roads-have slept under the stars.
The roll of the thunder grew
fainter, the darkness lifted. II

fresh air rushed in. ~av.

our silence 4had seemed to end it.
Nov that I can see your face"
he said to Mimi, "I am going to
find out if you really meant it,
when you told me 1 was not to
visit you"
"Of course I meant it. Don't |
you know that no human being
has a right to interrupt a honey
moon?"

irritation. 1--WE wouldn't fly at
each others threats, if that is
what you mean, Mimi, or scratch
each others eyes out"
Andy quite surprisingly agreed
with Mimi. Perhaps, she is right,

Andy? 1t would be wonderful for
anyone, if. it were for France"
had never heard her speak like
that. We had discussed the war,
and I had known that her tradi-
tons held her absolutely to the
French point of view. But here
was something which seemed to
have gone deeper. A sense of the
sacredness of a cause. It was
Andy's action which had revealed
it to me. I wondered if she would
really be willing to have me leave
her. To match his heroics with
my own?
We mounted our horses and rode
until our paths parted, about half
way between our ranch and the
hotel, which meant a ride of at
least 10 miles for all of us. When
Andy left us we shook hands with
him. We babe him a final "good-
by, Mimi and stood for a mo-
ment, looking after him, then we
Whirled our horses about, and rode
down the trail in the darkening
light.
During the ride home, Mimi had
little to say to me. She seemed
tired and dispirited.
II had to keep him away, jerry"
she said at last. ut sounded
silly. But it was the best I could
do"
"Why not have told him, Mimi ?"

other we can be happy"
laid my hand on her shoulder,
Couldn't you have told him that,
dearest? And have let him
come ?"
She turned little in her saddle,
Jerry, you're not facing it. You
didn't want him any more than 1.
Not really. You're just trying to
make yourself think that YOU did"
l dropped my hand from her
shoulder, and we rode on. Our
way was dark now, but the after
glow still fingered above the noun
Iains. Our horses were worn out.
and so were we. We came to our
ugly ranch house, and no light
shone to welcome us.
We went in, and I found my way
