preaching on the general theme.
Special exercises were held in the
Sunday school at City Road MethC-
dist church at North Henderson

around corner, and suddenly
Garry's eyes were searching Bar
bara's. He stopped, put his arms
around her, and held her as though
he had found something infinitely
dear. Then his lips were on hers,
tenderly, then passionately.
Barbara, Barbara sweet" he
began.
A steward came by, and they
had to step aside to let him pass.
They laughed, and hand in hand
went down the stairs that they
had come up. There were people
calling to them. There were the
customs officers to pass. There
was Natalie, waiting, just in case
Garry had been detained. But be-
fore long Garry and Barbara were
in a cab that was vending it's way
out of the traffic along the street
Of the piers.
"Where to-" the driver turned
around to ask them.
Barbara gave Garry the name
Of an uptown hotel. He smiled
and told the taxicab driver to drive
around for a few minutes. To Bar
bara Garry said:
"Do you remember the first time
saw you?"
"Of course. You were in town
for wedding"
"And you told me you were tired
of wedding marches, and banged
down the window so you couldn't
hear the music?"
For a moment the late after
noon sunlight was falling across
the shabby desks and typewriters
and floor in the dusty editorial
room Of the Martinsville Post,
touching the rough, light hair of
an amused young man and the
rust colored curls of girl with
tilted nose. Then it swung back
to the city of tall white buildings
through which the taxicah was go
ing.
Garry's voice was low when he
spoke again. Barbara darling, If
you still want to dispense with the
music, why not go to city hall
now, then hunt for a Minister"
Family in the distance, growing
sweeter and louder, Barbara heard
the rhythm Of the wedding march
that had been played in the small
town church that day. The old
road, the well-loved road that The
cello and violins had trod, became
a shining new highway. Whether
musicians gathered to create the
magic for many ears, or whether
the melody was refrain that only
the heart knew, it did not matter.
IT love you, Barbara. Will you
marry me now?" Garry was say
ing.
II love you, too, Garry. OF
course WILL" she answered

CHAPTER At

WHAT is the bad news?" Bar
bara asked the newspaper man
who had been summoned to the
telephone when she called the
press Offices in London.
ut may be good, you know. You
never can tell about these things.
Last night two of the crooks were
caught as they attempted to pass
a dummy instead of the millionaire
baby in return for the remainder
of the money. The third degree
broke them after several hours
and they took the police to the
hideout but it was empty. These
two men swore that the captives
were all right when they left.
They say that they were just hired
by q gang to act as agents"
Maybe Garry escaped" Bar
bara said.
"Maybe he did," the man an
swered so gently that Barbara
knew he was trying to be very
kind.
"Well, thank you for everything.
I'm sailing this evening""
She was nearly dressed, and her
luggage had been taken down.
stairs, when her telephone rang
again. 1t was frightening sound
l.lss. DIS. She answered in a
low voice, holding tight to her
courage. It was the house desk
calling.
Miss Kingsley, there is a person
from one of the newspapers who
would like to see you"
THANK you, I'm coming down
at once"
Barbara was wearing the new
suit today, the green hat and a
gray blouse. She carried her fur
coat. gray gloves and green bag.
"You wished to see meg" she
asked the tall young man whom
the clerk at the desk pointed out
to her.
"Oh, yes. Miss Kingsley" His
eyes were searching her face, as
though he did not believe her
words.
Eyes, certainly. What is it?"
But you are very pretty, you
know" he said, with such a dis
arming smile that Barbara could
not be provoked. mot what 1 ex-
pected, not at ALL"
II don't quite understand why
you should expect anything" she
said.
Lets sit down." He motioned
to some gilt covered chairs in the
ornate drawing room beyond wide
glass folding doors. II want a
story or at least a few quotes to
use in feature on this American
kidnapping. You know Garry Page,
I gather?"
What is your newspaper con-
nection ?" Barbara asked.
He named the paper. It was a
small paper that catered to news
of Americans. miss Aver, as you
no doubt know, is PROSTATE at the
kidnapping of Mr.. Page. She had
been engaged to marry him and
due to a quarrel had walked out
of his life and his play"
At the sheer impudence and
daring that would capitalize on
anything, -. even tragedy, for
Wenda's own promotion, Barbara
gasped. Her eyes froze into two
minute gray lakes of ice. She
stood up.
I'm sorry-there isn't anything
could possibly say to you."
Miss Aver said that YOU used

go on. Surely these six weeks of
her absence had not changed his
attitude. She could only hope!
Carefully she dressed in the new
green suit, yellow blouse that
was a thin, shining gold, gloves
and bag. She went on deck just
before the boat passed the Statue
of Liberty and turned up the
| North river to it's dock.
AS the boat swung up the wide
river, where the tugs puffed cheer
fully, the afternoon sunlight was
throwing yellow streamers on the
water. People began to crowd
around the rails, the bands were
playing merrily. The boat was
almost in.
Natalie would come for her, she
was certain, and Natalie would
bring news Of Garry. She might
even bring Garry with her. At
that thought her heart turned over
with a thump and she could not
get it righted again. She won
dered if she would have to go
through customs before she could
find Natalie. People were not al
lowed on the pier as a boat came
in, she reminded herself.
All, now the boat was turning
to slip into its berth. She could
distinguish figures. She opened
her eyes wider, rubbed them, and
opened them again. There, alone,
stood a tall figure with bright
hair, and the tall figure was wav-
ing a gray SLOUGH hat. Garry!
He stood in the same position
as the one in which she had left
him. For a moment, the world
was motionless, as though there
had been no time since that hour
the boat had pulled away.
Barbara began to wave her
handkerchief and the spring breeze
caught it and blew it across the
deck and down the river. The
boat was tying up. The gangplank
was being lowered. Garry was
waiting, waiting, waiting-she
wondered how long it would be un-
til she could get off. That she
might be among the first she hur-
ried to the lower deck, and on the
stairs she met Garry.
There were people everywhere,
and in the crush of pushing bodies
no one noticed the tall young man
and the girl whose eyes were green
lanterns under the rusty hair.
Yet Barbara's first words were
matter-of-fact and Garry's were
equally commonplace. They had
to be, to act as a barrier to their
emotions at this moment of meet
ing.
Garry. how did you get on the
boat?"
my press pass, darling. It's
good work, reporting"
They were going uD the stairs.

please Cod" she prayed.
She slept better that night than
she had done for several nights
and in the morning started out to
take long hike around the deck.
When you were very tired you
slept, and when you slept you
didn't think. She had been tired
last night and she would be even
more tired tonight.
But the worry and the fear went
with her. She could almost see
them, two shadows, following her.
She was coming back to her own
room when a steward stopped her.
"a radiogram for you. Miss"
he said.
The fingers that took the thin
envelope were cold and trembling.
She went into her own stateroom,
closed the door, and lighted lamp
by the desk. In a moment she
would know If the future would be
filed with love and beauty and
happiness, or if it would be for
ever empty.
She closed her eyes and breathed
a prayer that she might be brave
enough to face it, whatever came.
Then with hands that she held
steady through force Of will. she
opened the envelope.
There were only two words in
the message. Garry SAFE"
Suddenly the boat was singing,
winging it's way to America, and
the music that drifted from the
lounge was lifting with gladness.
She put her head down, on the
desk, and began to cry. All the
pent up anxiety and fear and hurt
of many months were in those
sobs. When the storm abated, she
looked up. Relief and happiness
were flooding her like water flow
ing down the mountain streams.
She felt clean and revived.
l
had escaped, nor did she even Won
der in those first minutes. It was
enough to know that she would
see him, hear him, touch him.
Sometimes, when people had suf-
fered much, she knew, they
dropped old sorrows and loves and
visions. Yet even that did not
brighten her. Love that was love
would bear all things, believe all
things, endure all things, yes, even
hope all things!
Several times that day she had
approached a radio, hoping for a
news broadcast, only to come
away both disappointed and re-
lieved, because there had been
nothing. No longer afraid, she
again settled herself to listen.
The few terse sentences in which
the commentator explained that
Garry had doped the coffee for his
two captors, taken the child and
fled during the time that the other
two kidnapers were being appre-;
hended and questioned, were inter-
rupted by static, yet to Barbara
the radio never had held words
that were so golden. <
Suddenly she wondered how she
would approach Garry. After all,
she couldn't very well go up to
him, and say: 1--WE never stopped
loving you and I've heard you love
me, too" And yet, why couldn't
she?
