To SquoIus Today
By the Associated Press,


PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July Is
While the submarine Squalus lay
buried beneath them in fathoms Of
water, salvagers worked today on
three damaged pontoons which
sprang to the surface when the
submersible ripped free of its SAL
vaging gear, partly shot out of the
water and sank Thursday.
Navy officials, still ignorant of the
Squalus' actual position and con-
dition since the accident, hoped to
send divers down to the craft to-
morrow.
The three damaged pontoons were
ordered sent into the navy yard for
repair. Officers said they were not
damaged badly.
Heavy seas prevented divers from
descending to the oceans floor i'm
mediately after the Squalus with its

mud. The submarine sank May %
during test dive. Thirty-three men
were rescued.

ment as mot entirely satisfactory :"
This came q few hours after the
Western ENJOYS had placed the new
plan before Moloton for transmits
sion 70 Joseph Stain and presum-
ably while it was being weighed in
the Kremlin palace.
In some quarters the communique,
published in the morning papers,
was interpreted as meaning that
unless the British and French Of
fered further concessions prospects
for further negotiation were not
bright
For the moment the phrase, mot
entirely satisfactory" was the only
thing to indicate the prospects of
agreement or disagreement in the
long-drawn negotiations.
A communique was published in
the government newspaper Izvestia:
"On June Is the Peoples Commits
sar for Foreign Affairs Molotoff re-
ceived the English Ambassador
Seeds, the French Ambassador Nag
giar and the director of the central
department of the British foreign
office, Mr.. Strang. Vice Commissar
Potemkin was present. The con-
versation occupied more than two
hours. Basic questions on which
there Is disagreement were dis
cuSsed.
THE text of the British French
foundations on the subject of nego-
tiations was handed to Comrade
Molotoff. The results Of the first
conversation and the perusal of the

garded in Soviet foreign ONCE circles
as not entirely satisfactory"
Two aspects of the communique
astonished foreign observers-its
publication the very morning after
the conversations was in contrast to
policy hitherto followed and the
fact that it was obviously q one
sided announcement.
A communique from one party in
the midst of conversations saying
that the results were mot entirely
satisfactory" is a sharp departure
from diplomatic custom.
Details of the new proposals were
not disclosed but 1t was understood
they represented an effort to satisfy
Moscow's demands for more COM
prehensive guarantees, including all
European countries bordering on the

The very thought Of her was like
the pressure Of a kind hand. Dolly
would see her through.
She went to the market that
morning, taking the long way
round, walking slowly, breathing
deeply Of the warm air. She passed
children and smiled at them, women
who trtlndled baby carriages and
stopped to talk. She felt a common
bond with the world Of women and
babies.
In the market, standing before q
counter piled high with wet, fresh
vegetables. she heard a voice and
turned quickly. Angie Doran, thin
ner, gray, bit shabby, stood beside
her.
Marian hesitated for an instant.
She and Angie Doran had not
parted on the best of terms. Then
she said warmly, "Angie Doran-
I'm glad to see you"
Angie turned, surprised, instinc-
lively drawing back. Hello, Ma
rian," she said coolly.
Marian would not be repulSed.

CHAPTER XVII

There was no friction in the Office
after that. There was no hate ii
Marian's heart. She taught Sally
Blake every smallest detail Of her
work.
She said, I'm leaving the first
Of February, Sally. I'm quitting TO,
good. My husband is in the west
He wants me to join him." Saying
1t helped keep up her courage, gave
her hope.
For Dan did not want her to
join him. On the first of each
month a letter arrived at the Office
A single sheet with check en-
closed.
"Dear Marian the letter might
say. tits swell day. Oregon
sparkles for some reason or other.
Enclosed find check" Or. I'm a
day late with your check. Sorry.
Have you seen Dark Victory?' It's
very good" ever did he say, II
miss you" or 1T wish you could have
seen Dark Victory with me-"
Marian tried not to care. She was
depositing the checks and boarding
the money against expensive things
like layettes and medicines and
special milk. She knew Dan must
think her utterly callous to accept
them when her salary was so much
greater than his. Some day he would
know. She chung to the same day
as II 1t were a living thing.
One day Florence Avery came to
her in regard to changing her desk
to q less drafty position. Before
leaving, she said, Tied, my husband,
has a job. A good job, steady. He
wants me to quit working. but think
that's silly, don't you, Mrs. Hark-
ness?"
Marian asked ner to sit down.
She talked to Florence Avery for
half an hour. The next Saturday
Florence quit her job. Marian felt
a. elated as If she had brought a
million-d account into the office.
II she could save another young
couple 1t might help. Always she
was building, building, working to
make herself worthy Of the big job
which was to be hers.
Randy and Dolly did not return.
Randy felt that he deserved vaca-
ton, so Dolly wrote. They were
going around the world. It might be
March or April before they returned.
Never had there been SO beautiful q
honeymoon.
Marian missed Dolly more each
day. But, on the other hand. she
wanted to do her proud job alone.
For her own satisfaction, she
wanted to lay each stone herself.
She knew now why Dan had want
ed to provide for her unaided. Often
she wept into her pillow with the
stark realization of what she had
done to Dan.
Marian spent Christmas day with
the Sands. 1t was a little hard to
be joyous that day. She had ex-
pected to hear from Dan. just a
card. just a line. There had been
nothing. She had to keep pushing
at q worried thought. Suppose Dan
had found someone else. What then?
Suppose she was too late. She
couldn't think Of it-she wouldn't.
OF course, there was way to fore
stall any such occurrence. If she
wrote to Dan, told him about the
baby. The temptation was strong
upon her. day and night.
Dan, being himself, would return
at once. Or he would send for her.
He would be gentle, kind. agreeable.
She didn't want that, she wouldn't
have 1t. o. love was her goal. She
was through with half measures.
Perhaps not the love Of II years ago.

nae

Perhaps Dams hurt went too deep
for that.
But pride in his wife. she must
give him that. Pride, that she had
fought her battle alone and come
out victorious. Pride, that she had
done it for him. No whimpering now
not ever again.
January passed on even tread.
On the last day of the month Ma
rian gathered up the accumulated
belongings of 10 years. She said
goodby to the switchboard girl, to
the stenographers and the Office boy.
She kissed Sally.
Take good care of G. F." she
said.
She went away with two checks,
her salary check and a bonus of
$500. No one except Mr.. Fellows
knew why she was leaving. They
hoped she'd like the west, they said
they'd miss her.
She had expected the days to be
lonely, the waiting hard. Instead,
the days were full and happy. She
met her neighbors, gossiped with
them in the hall, talked about cook
ing and slip covers and babies.
The brittle hardness went out of
her face, her hair curled in soft
ringlets, some days she forgot make
up entirely. She was young again,
sweet, simple, glowing with secret
Joy. In those waiting days she
worked harder at being a home
maker than she had ever worked
in the Office. She read books on
child care and feeding, she toiled
over her budget, finding excitement
in making two rather precarious ends
meet. Dan would be proud and
happy that she had lived on his
checks while waiting for the baby.
Often her lips moved in silent
prayer. Help me to be a good
wife and mother, God. Watch over
Dan and keep him for me. Don't
let me be too late"
1t was the last of April that a
letter from Dolly was forwarded
from the Office. Although Marian
had written frequently, addressing
her letters to strange romantic
ports, she had said nothing of her
new mode of life. Dolly might cor
respond with Dan, they had been
the best of friends, and Dan must
not know. Dolly's letter was post
marked New York" and, all at once,
Marian wanted to see Dolly, all at
once she needed her.
She tore open the envelope.
Dolly had written, Were back,
darling. Be prepared to listen to
every detail of the worlds most per-
feet honeymoon. Will call you at the
office on May l."
Marian had no need to look at
the calendar. She was keeping
close count of the days, marking
them off, waking each morning to
think, only eight more days
only seven" A hospital room had
been engaged for May 6. She was
growing tired-So tired.
With the knowledge that Dolly
was near, Marian realized how great
ly she had dreaded the coming or
deal, how she had braced herself to
go into it CALAMITY alone. Dolly.
