the devil with the rest of the world" Oh, Ben,
l don't want it any other way. don't want
anybody else love you. It's easier, some
how, to write a thing like this than it is to
say it.
And maybe it means more this way. Let's
start over Ben, let's! The way it used to be-
All my love. g.. Connie
Ben was dazed when he turned at last from
the desk. His eyes were blurred; the happi-
ness that welled up in him was like agony
He stumbled into the bedroom. pushing the
letter into his pocket. He unpacked and
when he was finished he sat down. his head
in his hands, to wait for Connie - though he
knew she probably wouldn't reach home for
hours.
When she came in late that night, Ben
thought she had never looked lovelier He
took her into his arms and kissed her in way
she hadn't known in ages. Connie, he said.
I'm crazy about you. From now on I'm
going to - to prove it.
DIE was astonished by his fervor but she
liked it. She laughed and rumpled his hair,
and after while she sat in his lap; talking,
of all things, about the trip to Boston. That
wasn't what he wanted to hear.
Tell me-" he said What about Steve
Darrel?"
Connie Strengthened. A frown chased the
smile from her eyes. She looked into corner.
Il haven't seen anything of him in weeks.
Ben. And won't be seeing him again.
''You - you told him that?"
She nodded. mo reason you shouldn't
know. l decided it wasn't fair to you seeing
Steve. Especially when he took it into his
head to start telling me what he could do for
me-" She hesitated ''Oh. please, Ben. Let's
not talk about Steve Never. He's not impor-
tant.'
She sank into his arms again. and Ben
overwhelmed, was more than willing to forget
Steve Darrell. He kissed her, happier than
he'd been in years. So happy that he wanted
to throw back his head and thank heaven for
this new start in life. From now on everything
was going to be all right. He'd show Connie
the kind of guy he could be. He felt wonder
full he felt full of courage
linen ne remembered ner letter. he tOOk
it out of his pocket, crumpled. As he smoothed
it out he said. Connie, this was the sweetest
note any man ever got
OHE glanced down at it, then laughed.

knew you d get kick out of it.
Kick? got the biggest lift of my life.
1t - it practically changed my life"
Bet you can't guess when wrote it.
she teased.
That made him blink at her in bewilder-
ment. What do you mean - when you wrote
it,"
She snuggled against him, giggling little.
Il was about sixteen then. We'd quarreled
over something - don't know what - and
we hadn't talked in days. So wrote this
to you.
Only didn't quite have the nerve to send
it to you. 1t was too - too bold Too full of
love. A girl couldn't throu herself at boy,
10 G. h.
Evening star., 1943-07-11

stabbed him, Connie, there's no use kidding
ourselves. know how you feel about Steve
Darel. can guess how often you've been
seeing him. Not that blame you much. He
must be good guy. Anybody who can go
as far as he's gone is bound to be smart. And
you're his kind - clever, bright, successful
l was afraid of something like this from the
first day you started earning more than did
l was afraid you'd be looking down at me-"
Ben stopped, staring blindly at a shirt in
his hands. He wondered if he d have the nerve
to write letter as frank as that. =. Still,
Evening star., 1943-07-11

RT WAS crazy, Ben knew, for a man of
twenty-nine to want to cry. Yet that was
how he felt while he packed the grips -
choked up and miserable. Leaving Connie
like this was the toughest thing he'd ever
done. But in all fairness he couldn't zee any
thing else to do. He loved her too much to
keep her chained down.
His bags lay open on the bed. As he folded
suit into one of them, he planned the letter
he'd leave. There'd have to be letter, of
course He couldn't just walk out on her.,
Connie" he'd write, and every word
Evening star., 1943-07-11

why not? Connie had the right to know why
he was leaving; why he had come home at two
in the afternoon to sneak his clothes out like
\ thief.
- He blinked little, adjusted his
glasses, and went on packing.
You're a swell kid, Connie" he'd
write. You're the grandest girl I've
known, ever since we we're young
sters. loved you even then - yes,
even when we used to quarrel over
my winking at Bessie Steuben or your
dancing 50 often with Bill Hanidge
at the high school prom. Remember?
Only. those quarrels were fun, be-
cause we always made up 50 nicely.
This time it isn't quarrel - and so
there's no making up.
! DON'T blame you for falling for
Steve" he'd tell her. But l know
u you're too sweet and too decent to
because you wouldn't want to hurt
me. Well, don't intend to let you
make sacrifice like that. What for?
Here am. knocking down forty
five week. guess I'm the kind of guy who,
with lucky breaks, may eventually get sixty
or 50. Fellows like me are dime dozen in the
insurance business - I'm not kidding myself
about that.
"And know that you, writing the kind of
smart copy you do. will soon be earning twice
that
'As for Steve - what does he pull down
manufacturing those airplane instruments?
