Ashley had feeling as though the blow
on the head he had been anticipating had actu-
ally come.
What did you say" he asked feebly
Your hearing doesn't seem very good to-
day." she remarked practically Il wonder If
it's result of your wound. l said l
sure that the mutual desire we have TO kiss
each other was the best possible basis for mar

But look here he said, sitting straight up
in bed and feeling that he had to say some
thing definite and decisive You're talking
lot of nonsense, you know. That we have, as
you phrase it, a mutual desire to kiss each
other has nothing at all TO do with marriage.
Marriage is something quite different. You
yourself told so the first night met.
Marriage you said, if l remember correctly,

that he might as we'll be talking to a blank
wall for all the notice she had taken of his
refusal. He felt she was regarding him a
very unreasonable youngster who will recog-
nize the logic of what Mamma is saying before
long.

and felt he was behaving like bad-tempercd

presently and quite humbly. But really I'm
learning to have one. I'm trying hard and
one can accomplish anything with little prac-
tice and patience, you know"
A SHLEY groaned, this time audibly. He felt
~ a choking sensation in his throat and
grittiness behind the eyes and he knew he had
never been nearer to loving a woman in his
life. She was such a child and now all her
superior mental qualities only made her seem
more Of a child He felt that same urge TO
protect her that Peter felt, only he knew that
the person he must protect her against was
himself

insurmountable obstacle is the fact that you

looked white and shaken as a result of the
shooting incident, but when he told her she
should be at home in bed she assured him she
was all right. Since he suspected that it was
chiefly on his account she was upset he didn't
press the matter. He knew she was in love
with him. but he didn't want to have to face
that thought at the moment Time enough for
that he told himself, when the job he had
taken on was done. She was a dear girl and
he had meant what he said to her that night
on the steps of the Fleurie Hotel He tried
to convince himself that nothing had altered
since then.
When Sandra was announced he was going
through some papers June had left. He hadn't
time TO analyze his emotions or to know
whether he was more pleased or annoyed. But
the moment he saw her. looking entrancingly
lovely. he knew he wasn't annoyed He was
little alarmed to realize that his chief emo
ton was something quite different.
She was wearing a blue linen coat and
skirt perfectly tailored, and mauve scarf
was twisted turban-effect about her blonde
head. The high-necked silk jumper she wore
was mauve too.
She smiled down at him in a sweetly seri-
GUS way, her blue eyes dark with sympathy.
Il heard you were wounded" she said I'm
awfully sorry
you make me feel as though / were
dying, and you were a visiting royalty. Would
you demean yourself to shake hands with me
before the end ."
You would naturally make light of it.
That's like you"
You'll make blasted hero out Of me yet,
won't you Miss Eedcdfe ?"

She said with quiet dignity that put him
in his place: He didn't take umbrage He

Then don't you think you should recon

She said after slight pause, her lower

That you didn't really want to kiss me lust

I'm not. I did want to kiss you I should

345 Cases of Suspected
 Tuberculosis Checked in Six-MontIls Period

A total of 345 cases of suspected tuberculosis were referred to the Waterbury Anti-T Tuberculosis League during the first six months of 194l, the organizations senni-annual re- port shows. Of these cases, there were only S8 with positive diagnosis of tuberculosis, while in 35 cases there was no evidence of active t1- beculosiS. Fifty of the cases were the result of family contacts, and over 200 were the results of MA student tuberculin tests.
 During the six-znonth period, the league held g clinics, and gave 24d total clinical examinations, with as many x-rays. Three hundred tubeY- culin tests were given. The organ. ization received 51 applications for, admission to various sanatoria, and admitted 45 of these.
 In its report the league stressed the frequency of cases of tubercu- losis caught by family contacts, and emphasized the great value of early and repealed x-ray examinations in dealing with these.
 In some of the cases where tuber- culosis was suspected, the actual trouble proved to be some other chest disease, and such patients were sent back to their own physi- clans for further treatment.
