when Barbara brought Ray to
meet her the next night. She sex-
planned to him that she had
stopped for cup of coffee and
promised the tallkative old lady she
would come again. The woman
found a chance, before they left,
to murmur q few words to Bar
bara.
''T4e's a fine young man, and a
handsome one. You should be
taking him in hurry. my DEAR"
But the subject did not come up
between them as the days went by.
Ray had obtained a To-day leave
of absence from his new duties,
before he would cross the channel
to France. and Barbara's Office
was most generous in allowing
sightseeing time during her first
two weeks.
Together Ray and Barbara went
riding on the trans and explored,
London Tower, Fleet street, and
the Strand. London Bridge be-
came a reality instead of two
words in a childish song, and
Westminster Abbey added to the
dramatization Of history.
They went, too, to Stoke Pogis
churchyard and sat on a tomb
stone while they tried to remen-
Der the lines from Gray's Elegy,
and they told the time of day by
the old sun dial in Warwick Cas-
tie. Stra If or d-on-Avon, with
Shakespeare's church and school
and birthplace and the cottage
where Ann Hathaway waited for
him to come back, took another
day.
At first Garry's ghost went with
them. Barbara would look at
something of historical interest or
beauty and find herself wanting
him to share it, or wondering if he
had seen it. Some things she re-
membered he had mentioned, and
she sought these with added
fervor.
But gradually Garry's voice and
smile and profile faded. Ray was
a good companion. She Weakened
one morning, after a sightseeing
Eexpedition, with a thrill because
she was young and in England
and she was meeting Ray for
breakfast after which they were
going to funny little town where
the houses leaned against one an
other, as though they all had Sc
crets to whisper in the chimneys'
ears, and where they would lunch
at quaint tavern.
To marry Ray did not seem so
improbable now. Before he went
away she would tell him.
Then, swiftly, it was the night
before he would sail. Long before
he would come back from his as
signment she would be in America.
Unless-she caught her breath at
the thought. Unless she married
him and waited in London. She
was fairly sure that the American
office of the magazine would ar
range for transfer. !
New York without Garry, with
out the apartment that she loved,
without Ray, seemed lonely and
terrifying. London was comfort
able and old and understanding.
She could not love Ray as she had
loved Garry. Maybe if one did not
expect ecstasy, one ran no danger
of hurt in the days to come. At
dinner that night she leaned across
the table. 4

CHAPTER Al

BARBARA and Ray Upton sat
in their steamer chairs, on the de-
serted deck, as the dusk came
quickly. Barbara's words stayed
in the air a moment before they
drifted out to sea.
Garry and just made the mis-
take of thinking we loved each
other once, that's ALL"
Yes, that had been their mis-
take. But it was one that she
would carry with her always. Oh,
she would reach place where it
would not hurt so deeply but even
when she was quite old she would
know when he was near, when he
spoke, when he smiled. None of
this was in the quiet voice or the
glance that she gave to Ray.
II wish you were going with me,
Barbara" Ray said.
IF you don't mean it, Ray, you
had better not say it. Stray
words can get young man into a
heap of trouble"
He looked at her quickly. "They
aren't stray words, darling.
think we would be good for each
other. We'd both laugh more if
we were together. I've bunch
you aren't feeling very gay and
I'm going to be lonesome as the
deuce"
Therefore, if we laugh and not
be lonesome, you think we ought
to get married?" Her voice was
laughing a little, trembling a little.
They are two mighty good
reasons. Besides, my dearest, L
happen to love you."
Barbara spoke quietly. II ap-
preciate it, Ray, more than you'll
ever know. It's very wonderful,
being loved. But you see I don't
love anyone. / like you very, very
much. It's funny, Ray. like you
better than any man I know and
I'd rather be with you"
Her eyes were puzzled with the
knowledge. Ray laughed.
"Oh. my darling, don't you see
what a grand foundation on which
to- build? It would be up to me to
make you love me. Do you think
you might some day, Barbara
dear 2"
Some day-some day in that
nebulous future in which there
would be no Garry yes, some
day she might.
She turned restively in ner
chair. II don't know, Ray. Per-
haps."
He flashed her swift smile but
he made no move to touch her
THAT will be good enough for me,
Barbara. I'll wait. It's up to me
now"
Barbara was up early in the
morning to watch the passengers
for Cherbourg off in the little
tender. The low hills of Normandy
were green, and the colored sails
of fishing vessels bobbed up and
down, like painted corks, on the
water. The sea gulls came out to
the boat. Then the hours passed
QUICKLY while she packed and pre-
pared to land at Southampton.
Ray had not alluded all day to the
previous afternoons conversation.
He had taken last promenade
around the deck with the sopho-
more on one side and the debu-
tante on the other First he had
asked Barbara, though. but he
had been tired.
She was in bed. that night, at

that. There was no one to know
but Ray and he was in a hotel
blocks away.
Outside the streets were quiet
and deserted. She felt at peace
as though the pages of an ole
story book had opened to accept
her and closed again. She would
walk to the Thames and watch the
river. But the Thames was a long
distance, and she gave up before
she reached it. She went into g
lunchroom for cup of coffee, fol
the fog was rolling in and the
night was growing quite cold.
"Ah, lass, and you are alone p

prietress of the lunchroom asked

soothing and the woman's sympa-
thy was balm.
You were looking for a bit OF
peace, my dear, take it."
Barbara nodded. 1T comes with
forgetfulness."

Again she nodded. What made
you think so, thought" She coulo
talk to this strange, understanding
old woman.
"Ah, my lass, when you have
seen as much of the world as
have seen you will know when q
pretty girl droops there is long

And how does one get over this
this longing in her heart for q

The old lady laughed and hel

merriment. Then 1 would say

thing" answered Barbara. 1.-THE

The old lady was entering into
the spirit Of the romance. Bring

"Oh, put you mustn't let him

Let him know? Never! But
I'll find a way to tell you. Have
some more coffee. It's a cold night
and a bitter one"
When Barbara was again in hel
bed, the foggy air rolling in from
the sea, and the clock Ginning as
she went to sleep, she laughed
softly. Life might still be fun

on her lack Of loyalty. The play
had accepted her when she needed
it. She was contributing to the
progress Of the show, but she
would not linger because it needed
her.
She had taken from him the girl
he loved, too, but he held no CEN
sure for that. It was his own
stupidity that had sent him chas-
ing a cobweb over the moon.
Well, anyway, he was glad Wenda
was going. He wondered suddenly
if she ever hid received her vanity
case.
Then, one morning, spring
dropped down from the sky. It
was Saturday and Garry was free
from the Office. His play was
nearly done. He decided that he
would go away to work on it. He
would take a ferry across the Hud-
son, tramp in the Palisades until he
came to a place Of smooth, fiat
rocks. On some hilltop he would
spread the Indian blanket he was
carrying and work for a while.

string Of lights that marked a
ferry boat station.
There were no sounds, no peo-
pie as he started to retrace his
steps. He had done a good days
work and he felt healthily tired,
both mentally and physically. He
decided that he would come often
to the hills above the Hudson-the
hills where legend said the ghosts
of the sailors left behind by Hem
rick Hudson still watched for the
mythical ship that would carry
them back to Amsterdam.
He was so engrossed with his
own thoughts that four men.

footsteps. Clearly and distinctly
their voices came to him:

chances. IF the cops head this
way, we're done for. So wen toss

At the same time the four men
sighted Garry. They knew that
their voices had reached him, and
he was aware Of it. The bundle
squirmed in one of the mans
arms.
Before Garry could speak, one of
the men said: 'Take him along.

CHAPTER AZ

"A MAN is always permitted a.
leave of absence to get married."
Ray explained to Barbara, later in
the evening on which she had told
him she would marry him. You'll
meet me in Paris, my sweet, and
wen ramble through the Bots
when the chestnut trees are bloom
ing-Barbara, my dearest, you do
mean it,"
Eyes, Ray, Of course do"
But the moon hung sedately on
a good substantial nail back of
London Tower, and the Thames,
which lay before them, had no rip
pling, dancing waves.
When Garry had asked her to
marry him, the lights had been
shining on the East river and in
the buildings that climbed the city
sky, and there had been a great
log burning in his fireplace. and
they had been alone in his living
room. His head was bandaged in
layers of gauze.
!. For a moment her self-posses-
sion left. Her hand closed around
the narrow stem Of her water COB
let, then slowly relaxed. She was
glad that Ray had not noticed.
She would never again think of
Garry. Never! Not even when
she saw a peddler with a basket
Of yellow roses, or heard a song
that he used to hum. Never again!
She turned to Ray with a smile on
her lips, and the hint Of tears in
her eyes did not let him know that
there was no mirth in them.
She saw him off the next night,
calling to her until the little boat
was too far from shore. Then.
cropping blindly through tears that
would no longer be denied, she
went home. She must make a
mask. and wear it forever. Then,
If her heart twisted strangely at
times, only she would know. There
were moments when she hated
Garry because he had done this to
her, and moments when she loved
him, no matter how deep the brlise
his going had left.
She plunged into the work she
had been neglecting while Ray de-
layed. She wrote Ray gay, happy
letters. She dropped into the
lunchroom to see the old woman,
now and then.
One night the woman said:
"Child, you should be happier"
But I was happy when Ray was
here. I don't think when he is
around. I'll be all right"
After all, she did love Ray. in
another manner. She missed him,
With a sigh that was almost hap
piiless one day, she found that she
had started swiftly because some
ones laugh had held his tone. He
was associated with her London
memories. She would be well and
waiting when he came back.
She wrote to Natalie that she
was engaged to Ray.
Natalie, meeting Garry one day
told him about her letter from Bar
bara. just as Barbara had hoped
she would.
Natalie told It quite casually. as
she knew Barbara would wish II

hoped Barbara and Ray would be
very lappy. n1irmured some in.

consequential things, and gone
away presently. After that he had
worked harder than ever on the
new play.
That weekend Ruth telephoned
him that she and Peter were in
town. Peters book was finished
and his specialization was starting.
He had resigned from the Mar
tinsville Post and they were taking
an apartment in town, because
Peter was going to work on a New
York newspaper.
Ruth and Peter asked Garry to
dinner. They were so merry and
devoted and interested in his
plans that he felt an ache, which
he had managed to keep pretty
well III hand, growing a little big
ger. He tried to visualize Barbara
as she had been that last morning
at the boat-cool, gay, not very
interested in him, but that image
kept slipping away, to let one Of a
girl with rusty hair and an eager
smile lighting gre ----gray eyes,
step from the boat and wave from
the wharf. And he, in turn, be-
came the traveller, as that last
summer scene was played again.
Because he threw himself so in
tensely into his new play, the lines
came to life and glowed. The
scenes took definite shape. He
was working now, harder than he
had worked before. Now and then
he dropped in at tea for a liter
ary or theater parsonage, or let
himself be included in somebody's
private party. He came alone,
though.
Ruth commented on that fact to
Peter one night.
"Garry's thinner. He and Wenda
are washed up. ] wonder If it hit
him 50 hard"
Hell recover" Peter said, re-
membering those days in the dusty,
shabby Office when he had watched
a rusty head bent over a gathering
typewriter and wondered If Bar
bara's gray-green eyes would ever
be serious when he talked Of love.
Eyes, of course, he'll recover"
Ruth assented, and for moment
thought Of a girl who had sat
alone on a terrace one summer
afternoon while a man whom she
had loved for long time pledged
his troth to, another girl in little
town in the middle west.
Odd, she reminisced, that Peter
had been the newspaper editor in
that little town where the wedding
had taken place.
Peter crossed the room and put
his arms around her and held her
closely a moment. He had said no
word to her Of the love he had
once borne Barbara, and she had
not talked to him of the days when
her world had rocked because Bill
Jameson had married Marie Rine-
hart. That was so completely done
for both of them. Yet each of
them knew, in some way that could
not be touched with words, that
the other had suffered a little
somewhere, sometime.
It was that same week that
Wenda Aver resigned from the
play. Someone was leaving an
English production and she had
been offered the part. Imperson-
ally, as though Wenda had never
stood for a strange, impetuous
rhythm that followed after glamor
and beating drums and shooting
stars. Garry commented inwardly
