gan rubbed II in yesterday when
he pitched Acme to a Cd victory
over Sans Club, Class B winners
the past two years.
For Michigan it was the first
official appearance as a pitcher.
Last season he managed and
caught for East Side in Class c.
and turned pitcher only because
he showed a fairly fast ball in a
practice game last week. He even
threatened to give it up if he lost
the opener.
At any rate. Michigan held the
powerful Sans team TO seven
hits. He weakened in the end but
was saved when George Wilke
lined into a double play with the
tying run on base in the ninth.
Doc Kramer, Acme catcher, put
his team in front in the first with
homer into the bowling green

CHAPTER THIRTY

VERY WELL. ! viii talk about
myself" Eve suddenly told Joel.
Maybe I'm being selfish and all
that, but sometimes I feel I'll SIM
ply blow up II don't talk to some
one about a lot of things. I don't
dare talk to Mother, for 1t upsets
her. She's not been quite as sue
cessful as I in rising above the past
in the business of readjustment."
II can understand that" said
Joel. 1T took my Aunt Sallie long
time to get over living without
Uncle John. Bill and I missed him
too. since he was like a father to
US both. But we were young, and
there seemed to be a lot ahead OF
US. But, go on-we were going to
talk about you"
I've never talked to anyone
else" said Eve.
Not even Blll?"
II only told him a part Of the
pasta part that concerned a ro-
mantle interlude." Eve took a long
swallow Of coffee. That's to get
me started" she said.
Joel listened, interested, eager to
catch every word.
And as Eve talked softly, almost
lnaudibly at times, it was not diff
cult for him to visualize her back
ground-the years when she was a
growing girl, and a young woman
with apparently everything one
could desire. He could see the white
Colonial house In the outskirts Of
Charlotte, the wide lawn, and the
formal garden Of which her mother
was 50 proud. He went with Eve to
dances at the country club, sat be-
side her In the smart roadster her
father had given her on her eight
eenth birthday. He watched her as
she moved through a swirl of
gaities when her engagement to
one Carey Watts was announced.
He could even see the wedding
gown she was to wear-all foamy
white, with an almost priceless veil
Of lace that had been handed down
from generation to generation. .
And" Eye said, trying to smile,
-tnstead Of getting married In that
ace, Joel, we ate it."
ATE it," Joel exclaimed, COM
ng back to the present
Eyes. mean we finally had to
eel 1t to help with such things as
food" Eve stopped talking for a
moment and tasted her salad. you
see, Joel, Dads bank failed like so
many others. After that everything
was a bit nightmarish. Dad tried to
recoup, but he couldn't. There were
too many odds against him-too
many outstanding obligations. And
he turned everything he could into

does one good now and then to
blow on steam" They danced In
silence for a moment and then Joel
asked: did you tell Bill about
Carey Watts ?"
II didn't mention any names"
said Eve. But I thought It would
make Bill feel less badly II he
knew that he wasn't the only one
whose marriage had been called
off,"
II see."
"And. oddly enough" Eve said,
"and carrying coincidence still far
Their, Bill looks a lot like Carey.
It's almost uncanny at times. It's
rather like suddenly looking up and
finding that Carey has come back"
docs Bill know that ?"
YES" said Eve. She smiled. I'm
afraid he didn't like being told that
he looked like the man I might
have married. I'm afraid It did
something to his ego"
Don't let that bother you," said
Joel in a somewhat hard voice.
Bills ego can take a lot"
That's not very kind Of you.
JOEL" Eve said.
mo. l know II isn't. I'm SORRY"
When their dinner was over they
strolled out upon the wide terrace.
There was a moon. II was washing
the world in silvery radiance, turn
ing the golf links that stretched
out at their feet into a carpet Of
luminous white.
Music came to their ears from
the big room behind them.
They stood close together beside
the rough stone parapet, looking
of into the mountains that tow
cred up from the very edge Of the
grounds which surrounded the
massive stone structure.
Eve" Joel said. what would
you say If I told you / was falling
in love with you? ?"
"Pd say you mustn't" Eve re-
piled. And I'd mean 1t, Joel. Please
don't fall in love with me-
please"
Good heavens, Eve. would it be
as bad as all that?"
mo. Joel. But mean love hurt
me. I'm afraid Of it Il don't think
I want anything to do with love"
Joel slipped his arm about her
waist, drew her nearer to him.
That's not fair" he said. You
mustn't judge all men by one"
ITS not that, JOEL" Eve said
quickly. TITS just that-that !

did he have TO do that7" Joel
asked.
Eve shook her head. "No Lots
Of bankers didn't-but Dad wasn't
like that" She looked up, and Joel
could see a film Of tears In her
eyes. Dad met every obligation Of
the bank. and then came home and
died"

mo, Joel, he didn't take his own
life. He died Of a broken heart, over
the smashing Of all his dreams, Of

Mother and I came up to The Gap.
Dad had bought the old house
there, hoping to turn 1t into a sort
