QUITTING TIME
Continued from pose five

After the first wild joy, after she
knew for certain Dave was con-
valescing, Connie kept putting away
from her the prospect of telling Dave.
The championship meant so much to
him. But of course he'd have to know.
AS soon as he was strong enough -.
She sat beside his wheel chair, the
first day he was out of bed. He sat in
the soft sunlight, relaxed and with
calm contentment, looking off the
porch deck at the eucalyptus and live
oak glittering in faint breeze.
The restless drive of the past few
years was gone. She'd remembered the
gloom of his last birthday. He was
twenty-six, middle-aged for fighter,
and wondering if he'd ever get his
chance. But now he sat relaxed and
content in the wheel chair.
Dave. I've got to tell you -"
Ills hand closed on hers, making it
harder. C It's about the champion
ship. When l told you -
Honey" he said. you don't know
what difference it makes. just to
know - 1t was somehow like trying
to climb hill of slippery wet clay.
There was big black hole at the foot
of'the hill. and I kept slipping and
sliding back towards the hole. And
I'd just about quit trying to climb.

and Aspirin. And then when found

well, Dave. we all make mistakes
No hard feelings?"
Over toast and coffee next morning
Connie read the Nal. Because of Dave
she'd got the habit of reading the
sports pages. She was pouring cup OF
coffee when she saw the heading on
Abe Tart's column, and the next thing
she was conscious of was coffee scald-
ing her legs as her hand shook.

So to make him happy his girl

Connie got Abe Tart on the phone.

cried furiously. "You didn't have to

Maybe he needs it. Beautiful. Do

Connie slammed down the phone.
Dressing, she went to the hospital.
"Oh, Miss Stricklandr' the switch
board girl called as Connie hurried
past. 'Mr. Smith isn't seeing visitors
today. I'm sorry"
Hes worse? He's had relapse?"
He's all right. Just a bit tired this
morning. And no visitors, please
Johnny Fell came into the lobby
from the corridor. "I've been talking
with him. Connie"
But | thought -" The switch
board girl was suddenly very busy.
Dave feels pretty bad" Johnny
Fell got out silver dollar. apparently

hand to show it empty. He feels like

"Oh. know. And want to explain
to him that -"
How about cup of coffee, Connie?
As matter of fact, Dave don't want
to see you"
DIE didn't see Dave until the night
of his return match with Lou Harms.
Those four months we're the longest
months of her life. Every evening had
>een an eternity. She'd hoped for a
,hone call before he went out to the
anch to harden up after leaving the
lospital. Then she'd expected, every

WHEN Annesley left Or. Kung and the
w sound Of the windbells of the temple, he
moved rapidly and with a set jaw like
a man afraid Of his own purpose He went
first to a jnrikiman whose post was near an
old tavern. The hosiery had been hit by
Japanese bomb and thoroughly collapsed but
the rickshaw man remained at his old stand
chained there by habit.
In other days Cabot always had used this

but like old stone which turns different colors

straight and through the shadow of the round
straw hat Annesley saw in his face some
thing more than dull submission to the pain
of life.
Annesley put a Mex dollar into his hand.
For thirty cents a rickshaw man will cart
