Chapter 30
MADELINE's courage was gear
lVl ed to a new high. due almost
entirely TO Barry VISITS. He
brought her books. candy and above
all words OF cheer and confidence.
The black bitter thoughts that
had kept her bound after her trou-
BILE seem TO be melting away with
each smile that Barry brought.
Dale's eniensc interest, his air
Of calm and determination also
helped TO make the wistful smile on
her lips more charming
There were DAYS when Madeline
fought this growing dependence
on Barry. she realized her danger,
in her cooler moments. But 1t was
hard 10 dwell on somber thoughts.
especially with Ruth feeling SO
much better and able to visit her
nearly every day. Madeline's most
unhappy moments came when she
thought OF Christmas. without the
children. How she would miss pre-
pairing for them. but she found
some pleasure in the though that
he was making little things for
them.
Her sewing had new purpose

happy. II was different perhaps

Gus her hands would pause In their
rapid motion OF knitting or sewing.
Sometimes she read stories OF love
and adventure The hero somehow
resembled Barry Barry was brown.

Madeline face lighted up. FOR that

She followed the guard down the
