~You could do it again. If il meant we could see each other Talk together. Give me a chance to tell you what's in my heart"
 "But here" she repeated Why here?"
 ''Because we could be alone and that's what I want, darling Alone with you for just a little while.
 You could pretend you had some work left over from last night You could be here for just a little while," he repeated. And I could take you home. Say 10 o'clock, Sue Mary. We could meet here, and then in an hour-less if you wanted we could leave.
 Promise me, darling. There's SO much I want to tell you. So much" He leaned toward her kissed her lips and abruptly van ished into the crowd on the street.
 The food before her on the drug store counter was tasteless. She ate her sandwich and drank her milk but she wasn't conscious of the taste of either.
 If Nick meant to carry through his plan with Vera, why did he want her present? And surely, after the careful groundwork laid by Vera, he wouldn't toss the whole thing aside even if - as he so ardently insisted he was in love and did want to see her.
 But that was ridiculous, she told herself. She knew real love with Joe, and she knew Nick wasn't in love, not really. This was move in his game, but she still couldn't see how she would fit in. Unless he meant to involve her so deep ly that she couldn't disclose what was going on.
 Her hands grew cold and she could feel the breeze from the drug store fan dry the perspira- ton that broke out on her brow. What if Vera knew she had been in the office last night in time to witness her scene with young Ross Clark?
 What if they were both afraid of how much she knew? Perhaps they planned to make her serve as an accomplice tonight and thereby keep her from disclosing their plans?
 She had a feeling that they didn't trust her. She knew they didn't respect nor fear her intelli- gence. To them she was still the naive, lonely little girl who, strange and bewildered, with nothing to do and nowhere to go, had fallen into their group. She had swallowed their philosophy followed their course, allowed her self to be used to their advantage.
 If she could only think. If she could only see what/to do.
 She knew she couldn't stand idly by and permit them to carry out their plan. Every instinct of decency, every instinct of Amer icanism within her rebelled. They didn't know the meaning of pa- triotism. She smiled a little, I'm thinking like a Girl Scout, she said to herself.
 Only, in these days, patriotism had suddenly become something vital and terribly important. With

 And many goodly states and kingdoms seen ;" 2. That's my last Duchess paint ed on the wall,
 Looking as if she were alive. 3. Bowed by the weight of cen- turieS he leans

 That sends the frozen ground swell under it,
 And spills the upper boulders in the sun ." 5. T arise from dreams of thee In the first sweet sleep of night, When the winds are breathing low,
 And the stars are shining bright . :"

MEET ME HERE-ToN1GHT"
CHAPTER xxTII

CHAPTER XXIII
 Lunchtime came and Sue Mary put on the wide-brimmed straw hat that made her look like little girl, deepened the golden glints in her brown eyes. Her tan linen dress flared from the hips in the same way 1t had delighted her, when she had worn it for the first time weeks ago. The bangles on her wrist still jingled merrily, but she was too absorbed in her diStraught thoughts to feel the confidence well-groorned girl usually pos sesses.
 She was SO absorbed that she literally ran into Nick before she saw him in the lobby of the office building.
 So blind you can't see me?" he demanded, taking her by the elbows and showing her back away from the crowd coming from the elevators. I'm not sure that pleases me"
 She drew a frightened breath, but managed to hide her fears and smile. After all, one doesn't ex- pect to see you here"
 But here I am, and guess why?" His dark face was close to hers and his eyes looked deep into her startled brown ones.
 "To see you, my dear. When 6 mans in love he wants to see his girl. And there seems to be less and less chances these days. Sue Mary, you know that. At the hall there are always people; people wanting me to do this and that; asking question, wanting to talk. And at the apartment" He shrugged his shoulders. Well, theirs either Vera or Natalie -"
 But Nick" She didn't know what was coming, but she in- stinctively prepared herself. What else-?"
 "I have to talk to you, darling. I must. - thought, perhaps, tonight"
 She felt her mind whirling. To- night-but tonight Nick and Vera meant to come to the office for those papers. Tonight" she re- peated stupidly.
 "Yes, dear Natalie said you had to work late last night. I thought maybe we could talk here. I could meet you and take you home"
 But Nick" she groped for words trying to understand how this new move fitted the picture. ssBut = I-I don't work every night. Last night was an excep- tion."

Ia world cracking about you, with your country = the country in which your parents and grand parents had worked and toiled and lived to make it free and safe now faced with stark dan- ger patritism was much more than a word, or a verse, or song, or line from a poem.
 Tt wouldn't have been so bad, she thought, if I could stop and think this thing out clearly, sanely, but there's Joe, too. What was hap pening to him?
 She closed her eyes and pie tured him in the hospital; quiet, motionless on the white bed, his blond head swathed in bandages, doctors and nurses moving about him consultations, X-rays, diag- noses, operations.
 Life about Joe She gripped the marble top of the counter as she felt her head swim in dizzy circles and pail of blackness be- gan to descend. The coolness of the marble, the breeze from the fan gave her strength. Somehow she got back to the office.
 There was a note on her desk. Call Mercy hospital She had left her number and begged she be notified of any change. Now something had happened. She tried to dial the number, but her fingers shook so that the numbers slipped by aimlessly. Tears dimmed her eyes so that she could barely see.
 If he was worse But she didn't dare think of that. He couldn't die. Couldn't leave her.
 She dialed the number again and waited for the answer.
