Bursting into tears, she had
hared, 4 make the rules they're

Dan had gone away.
Followed few hours OF seorn-
ful pride. then days Of waiting,
finally number anguish. Marian
could never remember those days
when Dan neither called nor wait
ed for her at the building en-
trance. without a spasm of pain.
The agony had been so real as TO
carry across the years
Ten days passed Marian's flag
Of independence fell on Saturday
morning and she called Dan. He
waited fer her at noon. Without
a word, she slipped her hand into
his and they walked along LaSalle
street, unmindful of the hurrying
crowds, unaware that another liv-
ing soul existed. They walked
straight to the courthouse.
On the way. Marian said, you
win, Dan. can't stand it,"
He said, Thank you, dear.
Trust me for a little while. Ill
make it up to you"
Marian found glory in defeat,
pride in Dams strength of will.
After the short ceremony which
made her Dams wife. she had call
ed Grant Fellows. She would not
be back to the office any more. she
had been married.
He had said regretfully. Say,
that's nice for you but bad news
for me. Maybe you didn't know
1t, but you were about to go places
in this office"
Just then she hadn't felt a
twinge Of regret. The twinges
came later. For the moment she
was not at all interested in fitting
herself into Angie Doran's shoes.
They had spent a beautiful
week end at Michigan City. re-
turning to tiny furnished apart
ment. There had been an interval
of such complete happiness that

car beside strangely remote Dan.
could not remember the time
without a quivering ache in her
heart.
Want anything for dinner %
Dan asked as they approached a
market. Marian came back to the
present with a thud. When before
had she allowed herself the I'M
certain luxury of day dreaming?
Memories shattered the defensive
wall she had built around herself.
She would never look back again
never.
