that Sarah slipped a white hand

phires.
Come on, Ronnie. We have to
greet people"
"Ill join you in minute" he
said. Mind if I steal Linda a min
ute, Barton? We have a year to
catch up with"
So in the end Linda stood on a
balcony thai swung close to the
stars and Ronald kissed her again.
Down below there were scattered
lights where taXicabs crept through
dark streets and shining ones. Far
across the river other lights swung
like lanterns up the hills.
you're sweet, Lin" Ronald was
saying. "And I've found you. Don't
get lost from ME again, will you,
honey?"
Don't get lost. But she
hadn't been. It was Ronald who
had gone away. Was it always the
mar who wandered? Who followed
a singing wind somewhere? But
we come back, Robert Barton had
said. Did men always come back?
Did they stay for a little while or
tarry forever?
Standing on the windy balcony,
with the violet mist of her frock
blowing around her knees, and the
green orchids on her shoulder she
had a sudden fear. When Ronald
kissed her again she chung to him
a second.
az love YOU" he said, and then
as quickly reached for her hand.
Come on, honey, that's my band
starting and I'm not there"
"I'll join you in a second" she
answered, releasing her hand. run
along, Ronnic."
"All right" He smiled. Don't
forget what said"
She turned back to watch the
stars. They We're so close she had
a silly desire to stretch tall, to
reach up and up and up and pluck
one. She laughed softly. Maybe
there was always a night in ones
life when the stars came down.
A cool voice made her turn
around. Sarah was standing near
and her blue eyes were dark with
anger.
II take it that you arc trying to
land Ronald" she G2id.

She's coming to meet us"
Not to meet us, TO meet you,
Linda murmurcd, noting that
Sarah's eyes were on the man.
Sarah spoke to Linda. DO l
know you?" she asked. Then she
turned to Robert. I'm positive l
don't know you" Her smile was
dazzling.
Linda spoke cody, Slowly, en-
planning who she vas, mentioning
Roberts name.
ooh, of course. How stupid of
me-" Sarah said then. You know
Ronnie. Now I remember. He's
around somewhere. But you're the
Robert Barton-ROb Barton, every
one I know who knows you calls
you. 1 heard you were doing con-
struction job in town this winter.
And you haven't let us be nice to

But her eyes said, THE gates

I'm busy most of the time"
Robert answered casually. Il got
cut of the social routine when l
went in for engineering. But I let
Linda coax me out of my hole to-
night"
He said it carelessly, but Linda
understood. He was trying to tell
Sarah that he knew Linda, had
had time for her. Her eyes met his,
and impulsivcly Roberts crinkled
into laughter and she smiled, too.
She had helped him cut last night
and he was helping her tonight, she
reminded herself. But it was more
than that which was in the smile.
Mysteriously, she h'I met this tall
young stranger. Oddly enough, he
was working into her pattern.
Then she saw Ronald coming.

would slip her arm through Rob-
ert's and lead him away. She want

moment-iust an intcrlude to tell
him that the flowers were beauti-

His quick eyes saw them, smiled

CHAPTER FOUR

LINDA reached for her evening
wrap, thinking intently about
Robert Barton's words. So Sarah
Markley's role as a breaker OF
hearts was We'll known. And Rob-
ert's family knew her and had sug-
gested he call her. Therefore, some
where his social sphere and Sarah's
must meet.
But that was not important. She
wanted to see the evening paper
and find out how far Sarah had
gone in her attempt to annex Ron
aid.
1--WE paper along" Robert said,
and drew it from his oVercoat
pocket. "Here-just a few lines"
Linda read them.
Sarah Markley, most dazzling
member of last seasons glamor
crew, is comforting all her -avors
on a young man with a horn. The
young mainland plenty OF debs
have their eyes on hints Ron
aid Stafford, who is featured IN
Sarah's fathers new music hit,
due to open next week."
1T says that she likes him, but
not that he likes her." Linda heard
her voice saying out loud quite as
though the man weren't there.
He chuckled and his eyes were
teasing. "And you, gather, know
the young man." His voice waited
though, quite as if it wanted a
negative answer.
"Down in Hamilton, Va, where
we both grew up, used to play
the piano for him at recitals. That
was when his trumpet was making
all the neighbors jittery but J.
thought it was beautiful"
He nodded, not answering, and
all the way to the Markley resi-
dence, in one of the Whitest, larg-
est apartment houses on Park ave-
nue., he chatted Of trivial things.
But when they were entering the
private lift to be carried to the
penthouse, he put his hand impul-
sively over Linda's.
"T'm sticking around if you need
champion" he said.
Linda left her wrap in the luXur-
iously furnished dressing room,
whose mirrored walls reflected
slim, svelte women of all ages who
were powdering their noses, put
ting a Drawer red on their lips. Sud-
denly she was eager to get away
from them, to be back with Rob-
ert. She did not want Ronald to
see her alone in the group of Wom-
en- who so plainly belonged. She
was grateful that Robert was
waiting for her near the entrance,
just outside.
The, drawing room was long
wide surrounded by a terrace on
three sides. On the other a long
vista of other rooms appeared. A
curving staircase at one side led
to a long balcony and other steps
beyond it went to other floors.
So this was Sarah's setting.
Sarah, herself, in white satin,
moved graciously among her
guests.
1--WE should make ourselves
known" Linda murmured to Rob
ert.
His eyes were amused. Lets get

O E
(Mausoleurn)

Gin the dark hour Of sorrow,
there is only n hope which, like
a solitary star fixed in the vast
night around us, gives a CLEAN OF
comfort; a CLEAN that verify be-
comes a glow as the darkness deep
ens-the hope to meet again. And
if the poets are indeed gifted with
a sight to see the unseen, we may
well follow the light of that star,
for we are told that hope springs
eternal in the human breast and
that there is a hope for every woe
and a balm for every pain. A thou
sand cheerful omens, Bryant tells
US, give hope of yet brighter days
whose dawn is nigh. And even the
agnostic Ingersoll sensed the truth
of all this when he exclaimed at
his brothers grave: In the night
of death, hope sees a star and,
listening, Love can hear the rust
ling of a wing. Thus, as we stand
gazing into that valley of shadow
through which some friend h a S
passed, we can with Tennyson pray
that the Father will touch the East
and light the light that shone when
Hope was born. And when the pes
simists would teach that we are
all but prisoners of hope, we can
reply with Tupper's famous lines:
Wait, thou child of Hope, for Time
shall teach thee all things.
1.-THE tomb or mausoleum has
ever been associated with the re-
surrection-the hope to meet again.
Throughout the ages man has
sensed a spiritual obligation and
a measure of consolation in pro-
viding a permanent place of Sc
pulture for his dead and the archi-
lecture of all nations is rich in
motives for the tomb both simple
and ornate. Thus, the modern maui
soleum represents the experience
