Mothers apartment, of course"
"But mother hasn't an apart

"Was," he told her. They've
gone to Arizona. I called mother
in Paris last night. She's sailing
for home day after tomorrow.
Brenda's mother is dead and so
mother is going to give her the

Yes, Fabienne thought, mother

for her son. ('"The Havilands have

of the man who went forth to sow.

people who listen to the messages,
but it does not sink into their con-
seriousness and soon passes out OF
mind. Some fell among thOrns, and
were smothered by them, meaning
that some who heard let worldly
things crowd out the Good Word.
Some Heard and Believed
But some there were who heard
and believed and tried to follow the
teachings, and these were the seeds
that fell into good earth and grew
and ripened and were harvested.
The Kingdom Of Heaven Jesus Xix
ened to a grain of mustard seed
which is the tintest seed known IN
Palestine. Mustard sometimes grows
to the height Of Is feet in Palestine,
and that parable shows how the teach

ished her effort there were spots of
pink showing on the thin bones of
her face.
They've been sweethearts since
they were kids" Dick explained to
Ellen and Bill.
Fabienne lowered her eyes, not
denying it, hoping that Ellen would
think what she wanted her to.
Nov what about you, sis? Had
a cold?"
Bill said. "she nearly had pneu~
monia."
Fabienne said, 1T wasn't too
serious, Dick. Not worth troubling
you all about. Ellen and Bill have
taken very good care of me be-
tween them"
1T looks as if they did. You
got a coy place here" Dick told
Ellen frankly, scrutinizing the big,
pleasant room.

Where are you going?" Dick
put the rest Of the question.

Back to mothers big, beautiful

home she had ever had, away from
those morning breakfasts with
Ellen, from those evenings with
Ellen and Bill. Back to q life she
no longer wanted so that Ellen

! because it was such a silly name
for it.
It greeted him at the door that
February afternoon. "Hya, feller?"
he said picking it up gently.
Fabienne laughed at the tableau.
eff you mean that raging tiger,
he's okay. If you mean me, the
same goes. I'm going back to work
next week"
He gave Prunella his great coat
and came across the room to pick
up Fabienne's blue-veined wrist in
cool, professional grasp.
Anything interesting she
asked when he held it longer than
usual.
He dropped it at once. you're do
ing fine. Another week in bed, then
a couple of weeks in the south with
plenty of sun and you'll be the
same old girl-bold, foolish, reck-
less and-and sweet"
She shook her head stubbornly.

How's my theater doing?"
Tough, aren't you?" he said,
tickling the kittens ear, but talk

theater for little while. Well talk
about that later"
II want to talk about it now"
you're not going to-" he told
her, striding into Prunella's kitch-
en-. He came back minute later
and informed her that he preferred
her invalid's food to his own. I'm
staying to supper with you. You
can't get away with whole roast
chicken yourself. After that We'll
have a little music and then into

Oh, this was lovely, listening to

Of Bills listening face, being con-
tent, peaceful. Yes, Bill was her
friend and that was good.
At half-past seven he got up and
came over to her, lifting her easily.
and carried her into the bedroom.
Prunella put her to bed and Bill
came to the door to look at her for
a moment, to frown at her severely
so that she would not see the de-
light in his eyes.
And then he was gone.
Prunella opened the window,
Strengthened the things on the

robe. GO to sleep, honey" she said.
"You know, Miz Fabienne, I

further revelations. GO along and

Miss Chapman say she's be here ?"
She said she don know. Maybe
six, maybe sebben. But yo' is to
have yo' supper and git back to bed
before she comes"
Fabienne caught her underlip be-
tween her teeth. She wished that
Ellen were coming now, because
deep in her heart she knew that she
was treasuring these afternoons
alone with BIZ. Afternoons that
were SO hard i-ccause they slipped
by quickly, deliciously on the wings
OF conversation that was an hour
old before she remembered to talk
about Ellen. Always talk about
Ellen, she reminded herself, now
sweet, how fine Ellen was whenever
she found herself and Bill on the
precious road Of intimacy.
The little things they said to
each other that were so meaning
less! And yet they were spoken in
little space of time that enclosed
only the two of them, building up
something between them that other
people had not shared.
She knew about Bill now. About
the farmhouse where he'd spent his
poyhood, the dream of becoming a
surgeon; the sacrifices he had had
10 make to get through medical
school; and his dreams of the flu
lure, working in research with an
older friend at laboratory in Colo
RADIO, tracking down the dread
germ of paralysis. That was an
lmpossibl dream at the present: he
nad work to do to pay his debts.
But some day
And she told Bill things he didn't
know about herself, about her
childhood. the gilt on the pattern
by which she had lived these years
up to few months before.
Ihey talked of books about

music which was passion with
him. '-'
He brought her his little phono-
graph and his books of symphonies
AND once he brought her a Persian
kitten. ''''
Fabienne put the silky ball of
meWlng sweetness into Ellen's
hands, saying. Bill brought it to
US, Ellen" "
Ellen had stroked the soft little
nead and put it back in Fabienne's
eager hands. iii be it's aunt" she

disturbed smile.

PRUNELLA, the bulk of her fill
ing the doorway to Fabienne's bed
room, looked at the girl on the bed,
her great round, black face watch
fur and affectionate. Over one
arm she carried soft pink blanket,
the other balanced a tray that con-
tanned a foaming glass of egg-nog
and a smaller glass with two cap
sules in it.
Fabienne opened one eye, looked
at the tray and promptly closed it..
A smile that was like sunshine in
thrown clouds broke out on Pru-
'nella's face. She said, 'Miz Fa-
'bienne, you CANT fool me. You
amt bin asleep"
Fabienne smiled ruefully. Am T

Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-12-16
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

AFTER PRUNELLA closed the
door back of her, Fabienne reached
for the lamp switch on her bedside
table. She took a mirror from the
drawer and held it up to her face.
Only anxiety showed there, and
some of her shock. So her love for
Bill Mallory showed in her face,
did it!
She put the mirror away and lay
in darkness, knowing, admitting
that she did love Bill. And she knew
it took no second sight for anyone
to read it, knowing that in her I'M
guarded moments, her thoughts
must have been written in her eyes.
If Prunella had seen it, Ellen,
too, must have been aware of it.
And Bill? No, not Bill. She had
been careful of that, leaning back
ward in her effort to keep from him
what she felt. Also a man was not
as likely, as woman would be, to
know what those swift changes,
those lights in her eyes. those ten
der smiles would mean.
Ellen would know Ellen had never
said that she was in love with Bill.
But wasn't their easy camaraderie,
their long intimacy, those looks of
unspoken understanding enough to
convince Fabienne that theirs was
love that needed no announce
ment?
q
good, kind, understanding friend;
Ellen, who had been closer to her
than any other girl she had ever
known; Ellen who had given her
work that gave her life meaning,
and who had even taken her into
her home, nursed her when she was
ill. Her thoughts were filled with
Ellen and they were compounded of
gratitude and affection and shame.
On the fringe of that tapestry of
thought, there was the image of
Bill. Telling herself that she did
love hin-even though she knew
that he was not for her-she would
like to have taken out her men,
cries like treasures and fondled
them, cnerishing the remembrance
of his touch, his tenderness; de-
lighting her minds eye with a gal
lery of pictures of him: Bill at the
clinic in his white coat with his
kindly eyes and slow smile, silenc-
ing fears and promising healing;
Bill with his hat brim snapped
over his eyes, his trench coat collar
carelessly turned up as he walked
with her one snowy, still night;
Bill sitting beside her bed during
those long, feverish nights, giving
her his strength.
No, she must not think Of that
while there was Ellen, Ellen whom
she had hurt so much.
It must end now. She must go
away. Bill said that she couldn't go
back to the settlement house for
some time, that she ought to go
south and get some warm sunshine.
But she couldn't do that; there was
the little theater nearing its COM
pletion-and there was also the
fact that she was without funds.
Of course, she knew that she could
always get money from Uncle
Mark or Gertrude.
She wouldn't go south, but she
would leave Ellen's apartment. The
problem was how to do it without
making her reason obvious.
The solution came from quar-
ter she least expected. Two days
after the long night she had spent
in unhappy speculation, Dick came
down from Harvard and told her
that he was going to be married
at once and leave for Chill.
He came in at supper time when
Bill and Ellen were keeping Fa-
