women lived there, and there were
roof gardens and long dining,

And maybe in strange new at
moSphere where women lived when
they wanted careers she could
laink of work only. Maybe she
could concentrate on being an ex-

All of this went through her
mind so swiftly that it was over in
a seconds fraction.
But all of the time she was say
ing that telephone number to her
self. knowing that she would call
1t as soon as she gained the pri-
vacy of her own room. She must
hear Rob's voice once more, must
let him tell her that h. was going
away forever and forever.

janitor was talkative tonight, and
Linda wondered if he. too. felt a
wanderlust in the sweet. wide wind,
and knew the stars We're shining up
and down the street.
So ever the janitor believed that
Billie Anne had a legitimate claim
on Robert. And she, only She
Linda Avery-was a dope. Yet, as
she climbed the tall stairs, so steep
and dark tonight. she thought of
Billie Anne. She had looked
smudged, sort of raveled at the
edges. as though she had been
kissed too much, and when she
talked you knew she had said all
of her words hundreds of times.
She was not good enough for
Robert. He was clean and lean and
strong.
But this was over. The book. was
closed as surely as though she had
finished tale and shut the covers.
And maybe sometime Robert would
be as dim as, somebody she had
known in the pages of book.
She had fitted the key into her
door before she saw large square
white envelope, halfway under the
crevice. She picked it up, knowing
at once from whom it was. Robert
must have left il there before he
went away. Whether he had placed

it before he was called to police

she did not know. She realized that
he might have thought she had
found it, before coming to that
crowded office for the final act in
the Nina Nevins drama.
She closed the door, pulled the
chain in a round rose lamp, and sat
down on her studio couch to read
the note.
Dear Linda" Robert had writ
ten. BY the time you receive this
I will be on the train heading for
the bridge. For the next few
weeks I'll be needed there. so I'm
giving up the suitcase. After
that, it's South America. There
was no chance to say goodby in
that motley assemblage at head
quarters tonight, but there is one
thing 1 must tell you. I'll never
stop being sorry brought down
Nina Nevins' wrath on your
bright head. ut is bright, Linda.)

That was all. BE awfully hap

not even knowing that Ronald was
just paper cartoon now. AS he
had written that note lie must have
thought Of the night, such & brief
time ago, when he had seen her
climbing into Ronald's waiting car
so late at night.
He had not known that she was
helping Ronald find Sarah. Why
hadn't she gone running up the
stairs after him? Maybe he
wouldn't have cared any more,
maybe Billie Anne was important
to him even then, but anything
would have been better than this
slow torment. People said that time
was a healer, that in the end all
wounds grew better, and always
there came a night when the moon
was white and the wind was sweet
and you could smile again.
But living until that night would
be hard.
Robert had said that he would
be on the train heading for the
bridge by the time she received his
note. But maybe he had stopped at
his club on the way.
All of her life Linda had be-
lieved that a telephone was a one
way instrument when man and a
girl were concerned and that girl
belonged on the receiving end of it.
She had been taught by her aunt
that a girl should save her nickles
and let a man spend his. But this
was different.
She was grown up now and she
loved a man who was going away.
At least she must have the salts
faction of knowing whether he
cared deeply, or no longer at all.
She dialed the number Of his

Floods, receding yesterday and
today in western North Carolina,
left death toll of at least 26
lives and did property damage
estimated at millions of dollars.
Shown above are some of the
half-submerged houses flooded
by the Yadkin river at North
Wilkesboro, where 500 persons
were left homeless and property
damage was counted at $4,000
600 by Mayor R. T. Mcneil.
Watchers are observing the in
undated scene from marooned
freight train and from wreck
age deposited by the flood on
railway tracks. In the back
ground smoke boils up from the
ruins of the Home Chair Com
pany factory which caught on
fire while it was half-inundated.
Firemen could not reach it and
had to stand by helplessly and
watch the blaze.
LerD This scene (above) near
Canton was similar to large Sec
tors Of North Carolina which
were dashed by sWirling flood
waters from rain-sWollen strains.
