from the fatigue that was over
mastering her, made her try again.
Rob-" she gasped, Where did
you come from ?"
Il saw you getting lonesome and
came out for the return swim" he
answered, voice gay and noncha-
liant. Hold on to my shoulder.
Therel And tell me later why you
wanted a sunrise swim. Don't waste
breath now"
Ten minutes later everything
was confused on the yacht. People
were lowering around her. Voices
were asking questions. But she was
aware of one voice only, one pair OF
beseeching eyes.
Linda, we thought you were
lost" Ronald said, and his arms
made refuge to shut away the
people, the water, the dark night
that had ended. He held her close,
not minding the water that
streamed from her suit, and he
kissed her wide eyes and red
mouth. though Sarah lowered near.
Hazily she smiled She hadn't
meant to pull an heroic stunt to
test Ronald. She had gone for
swim and accidentally fallen asleep.
But somehow this incident had
awakened him.
But why did you swim to the
shore this morning ?" he was ask
ing in a stern, masculine voice.
Didn't you know we all are going
off in a tender pretty soon for the
picnic?"
"She didn't swim this morning.
She spent the night there" Nina
Nevins answered. Il saw her drop

CHAPTER TWENTY.TWo

AS SHE HIT the cold water
Linda felt a sudden electric shot.
1t was as though she had been
moving in lethargy ever since she
had heard Ronnie's broken words
to Sarah, a deafness that had dis
appeared with that low, knocking
laugh of Nina Nevins' at the edge
of the swimming pool
At first Linda intended to swim
around the ship, come up on the
other side, and go to her stateroom.
But the water was bright and
soothing and the shore not far dis
tant. She turned and swan toward
it, with long, slow strokes.
There, on the sands, away from
the ship, its passengers and their
problems, she would think this out.
But the island was more remote
than she had thought at first, and
she was tired long before she
reached it. Well, 1t was good to be
tired. She could rest longer time
before she started back.
Painting a little, she came at last
to the water near the shore and
waded in. The sand was warm and
deep. She lay down. Now it was
peaceful. Out there, somewhere be-
yond, the boat rode the waters.
Ronnie was on 1t, Ronnie who had
asked Sarah what he was going to
do about love, and Sarah was there,
and so was Rob.
But she must rest and swim
back. In the morning. when the
picnickers came, no one would
know that she had been here. But
the sand and the trees and the sky
would be friendly because they
shared her secret.
Other girls discovered that the
men they loved swung wide from
old, familiar moorings. But they
kept on, bright smiles painted on
their lips, eyes never wavering be-
cause the face of love had changed.
II the roots Of love were deeply
planted, passing infatuation could
not uproot them. Men could make
a detour now and then, In the emo
tional field, yet come back, still
loving, asking love. All this, Linda
told herself
Then she buried her face In her
arms and wept because love was
not the shining, straight highway
that she had thought. She thought
of Caroline and wondered II she
were sitting on the balcony, this
warm night, listening to the mon
astery bells that called to pray,
wondering il Terry danced or slept
or remembered.
She wanted to see Caroline. To
tell her that she understood. Well,
she must be going back. II Ronald
wanted his freedom, it was his for
the simple asking. She would 20
on, not looking back. Not thinking
about q rainy night at a railroad
station and a tall man asking her
to wait. Maybe she should have
married him and him leave the
show. Maybe It was her fault that
he had fallen into Sarah's web of
binding threads.
Maybe
Because she was so tired she fell
asleep. Her head rested on one
palm and her legs were curled into
a ball. She dreamed that she was
alone on a boat. riding to nowhere. !

and 1t was beautiful because she
never would reach her destination,
and thus need never leave the ship.
She moved once because the sun
was warm on her face. Dimly she
knew that it was light around her
and that she was out of doors.
That was strange, she unused, then
slipped into sleep again.
The sun was bright in sky blue
as silk when she opened her eyes
and sat up. Morning had come and
she had spent the night on this
strange beach. But why?
With ruthless clarity the events
Of the past night came back. She
had come here to escape, and now
she must go back, pick up the
packet of love and hope and pain,
and carry 1t on.
She felt tired. The distance TO
the ship seemed much farther this
morning. But people would be
frightened If she didn't appear.
Rob would think she had slipped
away because she had heard Ron
ME talking to Sarah, and maybe
he would tell him. No, she must
get back before any alarm was
given.
She started to swim, but her
arms and legs were heavy. She
tried to float. letting the. buoyancy
of the salt water carry her along,
but it wanted to bring her inland,
so she gave up.
Long before she reached the ship
she knew that something was
wrong. People were everywhere,
and life boat was being lowered.
That was funny-maybe somebody
had fallen overheard.
She let her speed relax. She
didn't want to reach the ship.
Then she heard a shout, a tri-
umphant clarion. and a dozen an
swering ones, and voice came TO
her.
"She's comlngi Linda's coming"
So the fanfare and the shouting
all had been for her. She must have
been missed and sought. This was
funny. very funny! She began to
laugh Historically, to cry a little.
She wasn't going to be able to
keep up much longer. Right here,
in front Of everybody, she was go
ing TO slip under the water. AS she
realized 1t a frightening. over
whelming desire TO live seized her.
Life was good. wherever Il led,
whatever It brought. II always was
worth the livingl
Dear God. don't let me give in.
Please, please don't" she prayed
to the God who was somewhere.

the white clouds OF the morning
