A letter from Natalie came a
few days later. 1t told more about

The next day an official offer
came from the magazine editor.
Barbara showed it to Peter. He
nodded gravely.
eff anything doesn't suit you,
Barbara, there is always a desk
waiting here"
A little lump came into her
throat. Suddenly she was afraid
to go. It was safe and serene and
comfortable in the Post Offices.
Outside the world was strange and
the current swift. Outside was
adventure-ands somewhere, Garry
Page.
She wondered if ever she would
run into him. That afternoon she
received a card from him. He had
scrawled only few words on it.
They were gay, friendly, in1per-
sonal. He thanked her for taking
him to the train. Yet the sun was
brighter as it shone across the
warped boards of the editorial
room floor.
That night she told her aunt and
cousin that she was leaving.
Jealousy burned like two blue
lamps in Julia's eyes and her
aunt's lecture on gratitude was
sweetly bitter. Yet Barbara said
nothing.
One morning the = postman
brought a. note from Garry, gay
and nonsensical, but her type
writer sang as she put the disor-
derby alphabet in order.
Then suddenly it was 1921, one
night, and she and Peter were
waiting on the Junction platform
whele she had stood with Garry
and the wedding party a few
weeks before. The train whistled
as it swung around the bend.
Peter grasped her hands.
Goodbye, Barbara. Take the old
town by storm and don't forget to
come home"
&c oodby e-goodbye, Peter"
There were so many things she
wanted to tell him but she could
only stand there, clinging to his
hands. Then he grinned and
spoke again: Don't forget that I
love your
II won't, Peter!"
But she did, when the train slid
into Grand Central terminal the
next morning. She and Natalie
were hardly settled at breakfast
in a nearby coffee shop until she
heard question slipping out of it's
locked box: Natalie, do you
know Garry Pager"

the Junction"
Honey, when will you learn that
car can't run on imagination ?
Hold everything and I'll be right
along! Oh, by the way, there's a
telegram for you. Just came. I'll
bring it."
"No, Peter, read it to me now.
Please"
LAS you saw, Nut" She could
hear him tearing open the yellow
envelope. Ready, Barbara"
Ready"
Peter read: Vacancy open on
children's magazine. Believe you
could handle it. Will you con-
sider?" It was signed: Natalie
Kendall.
Barbara was so quiet when
Peter finished reading that he in
quired anxiously: Barbara, are
you all right?"
ooh, Peter, I'm grand! I'm fine
and splendid and, oh, Peter, isn't
it wonderful ?"
"It is" Even across the miles
of distance she caught the unhap-
piness in his tones. Then he spoke
more lightly: "But where do we
get another society editor? ?"
IT haven't gone yet" she
carolled happily.
Somehow, just the knowledge
that she could go if she would
needed to be enjoyed by itself for
a moment. Then she remembered
swiftly that Peter loved her. He
would want her to stay. But she
didn't love him-nOt in that
breathless way that one woman
loved one mana way that shut
the rest of the world away for
ever and forever. No, it would be
better for Peter if she left. He
might not think so now but he
would understand later.
Aloud she said: Hurry, Peter.
I want to touch the telegram" It
would not be a tangible message
until she held the yellow paper in
her hand.
Although the woman in the
farmhouse wanted her to wait in
the lamp bright shelter of the COM
Portable living room, she shook her
head. She must be alone for a lit
tie while to enjoy her news. Out
in the wet darkness she looked at
the black sky, and breathed a little
prayer. Two good things had
come today. A boy with rough,
light hair and a smile that she
would remember for a long time
had passed her way. And the job
Of which she had dreamed had
fallen into her lap. Maybe there
were reasons that the job would
not materialize. She was afraid to
hope too far. Maybe the young
man was gone forever. But things
could happen! That meant much.
She was sitting by the side of
the road, in the car, when Peters
long roadster swung down the
main thoroughfare. She began to
press the button which connected
with her horn. He caught the sig
nal and turned in. =
He was rather demanding to-
night. Leave your car, Bar
bara. Well send Pike for it to-
morrow. I'll take you back. Got
everything?"
She remembered the pictures
which the train had brought down
from the city and dug them out of
pocket. Then she felt the rush
Of cool, rain-spattered wind, as
the car went leaping swiftly down
the road. 1t was like Peter that
he gave her the telegram and then
said nothing more about it.
Hungry" he asked presently.
