Zone leaders who have Just fin
ished instructing the public In the
old signals are Of the opinion that
the new ones are certainly not out
standing for their clarity. When the
signals were changed several
months ago, 1t was a difficult task
for zone leaders to educate the res
idents SO that cooperation would be
100 per cent, and none Of the vol
unteer workers relish the idea OF
going through the entire instruction
course again.
It was indicated that no air raid
drills will be held locally until some
notice with regard 10 the change Is
received by the waterbury head
quarters.

internal security, will discuss the

sored by the Eastern Defense Com
mand tonight over WATR at S:16.

She got up, quietly opened the
door, tip-toed into his room. She
put out the cigaret that was smol-
dering on the carpet. Jake had
fallen asleep reading and was
propped up against two pillows.
She lifted his head, took the pill
lows away. He hated to sleep on
pillow.
He looked young and happy in
his sleep. But those lines by his
mouth showed even now when he
was relaxed. Lines of discomfort,
she decided. She kissed his cheek,
turned out the light, opened the
window. He didn't stir.
She didn't sleep at all the rest
Of the night.
The next evening David stopped
in one his way home from the
store. Jake had gone out after
his one o'clock breakfast and came
in while David was telling Kay an
amusing bit of gossip.
Jake sat down on the sofa be-
side Kay, leaned over and kissed
her. "You seem to be doing her
good" he said. "She's looking
more cheerful than she has for
days" Kay had been laughing
and there was some color in her
cheeks.
"She is looking BETTER" David
said. Her eyes are brighter, but
she needs to gain some weight. :"
mot at ALL" Kay retorted, with
heat. "And don't sit there looking
at me so critically, as though you
were judging a dog or horse"
That's right, darling. Let him
have it," Jake said with smile.
''How would you like to have
David stay and keep you COM
pany tonight?"
Kay looked up at him in sur

"Jake's never an extra man, p"
Sylvia said.
''Fine, then he'll be there" She
hung up. Maybe this was a foolish
step. She hated every minute Jake
was out of her sight now. But she
felt he needed shaking up. Soon
he might begin getting bored with
her.
She rang the bell for Anna.

clothes. And I'll be alone for din

Jake came home about o'clock.
When he went into his room to
look at his mail, he called out,
"What's all this about?"
"Sylvia called up. She was des-
perate, couldn't find another man
anywhere. I told her l didn't think
you'd mind helping her out to-
night" Kay explained, glad that
Jake couldn't see her face.
I'm not a bit crazy about the
idea. You'll be lonely" he said,
but he didn't sound exactly crest

"Just this once then" He sound
ed better already. He began to
whistle. Half an hour later he
came out of his room, looking
heart-breakingly handsome. There
was a sparkle in his eye, a lilt in
his walk. He broke off white
carnation from a huge vase OF
flowers David had sent Kay. She
suddenly felt forlorn and paid,
huddled up in a pale pink negligee,
hugging the fire.
"This is a pathetic mess" she
told herself. 'This being an inva-
lid has got to stop. My husband
is young and alive and I love him.
I've got to be healthy and alive
too."
Jake called Anna, asked her to
bring them cocktail. Anna looked
reprovingly at Kay. "Dr. Smith
said no drinks for you, Miss Kay"
"Oh, be quiet, Anna, and do as
Mr.. Kerr says,'' Kay told her.
Anna silently left the room.
Zone drink can't do you any
real harm, can it?'' Jake asked.

fun slipping cocktail again, chat
ting with Jake. When it was time
for him to 20 she helped him on
with his coat, settled his top hat
on his blond hair.
..Next time we'll be going to-
eether," he whispered as he kissed
her good night.
Kay was still awake when he
came home at o'clock. She heard
him opening the front door with
his latch key. The living room
rue had a deep pile, SO she couldn't
hear him at all for few minutes.
Then she heard him switch on
the light in his room, heard the
tinkle of ice. He came over to
the door that separated thel1
rooms, tripped over something and
swore loud and cheerfully. He call
ed her name softly two or three
times. She didn't answer.
His shoes made a clatter as they
hit the floor. He began to sing
There was a slight creak wher
he got into bed. Three matches
were struck before his cigaret was

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

David was terrified. He had no
idea what to do with Kay, who had
tainted dead away in the taxi. He
opened the windows wide, hoping
the icy air would revive her.
Fortunately, the lights were with
them, and they got home In record
time. David paid the driver, then
carried her into the apartment.
She opened her eyes for second
when he moved her, gave him a
weak, dazed smile, and shut them
again.
Anna blanched when she opened
the door. "Oh, Mr.. Banning, what
is it? An accident? Oh, my poor
Miss Kay" she said in anguish as
she led David into Kay's room,
turned down the bed, took off
Kay's hat and shoes.
'That's fine, Anna. Now get me
some brandy and call her doctor.
She just tainted, but she seems
to be exhausted.
"That's no wonder. don't see
how she's gone on this long" Anna
said with tight lips. She left the
room, came back presently with
glass and decanter.
.sHere's the brandy" she said
to David. '1'll give it to her. The
doctor will be here in Is minues.
And if you don't mind waiting In
4ha 1ivino room. I'll get Miss Kay
to bed.''
David was grateful for the ef-
ficient way Anna took over. The
doctor came, expressed grave con-
Germ over Kay's condition.
"She's coming down with the
flu, and she's in no state to battle
it. She's very tired, run down.
1 don't want to alarm you unduly,
but she will need the best Of care
and attention"
Anna pleaded with David not to
get any trained nurses. "None OF
them care for her the way do.
I understand her. I've been with
Miss Kay since she was born. She
hates to have strange people touch
her"
The doctor shrugged his shoul-
ders. well try it and see. I
would say it is essential that we
spare Mrs. Kerr any unnecessary
irritation or fretting."
Kay was delirious for several
days. On Christmas Het came up
and shared the turkey with Jake
and David, a meal they all ate
half-heartedly and in most I'm
festive mood. Het had offered to
move in and share the nursing
with Anna, but Jake wouldn't hear
to it.
He was beside Kay's bed day
and night. Kay seemed to sense
when he was there. If he went
away for a few minutes, she be-
came restless. She repeated his
name over and over.
The flu responded we'll to treat
ment. But Kay's strength came
back very slowly. At the end of
January she was still able only
to be up for few hours day.
She'd have dinner on the sofa in
front of the fire, talk to Jake until
about 9 o'clock, then go back to
bed.
why don't you 60 without me?"
she asked Jake one night, when
he had just refused an invitation
to dine with some old friends of
hers, the Blakes.
II wouldn't have any fun with
out you," he said with one of his
sweet, slow smiles.
"Of course you would. You need
to get out, see more people. I'd
feel better if 1 knew you were
having a good time.
You're all the good time I
want" he assured her.
But it worried Kay. Jake seemed
to have lost interest in everything.
He went down to his place every
day, but he didn't stay long. He
apparently was more dependent on
other people than she was. So the
next day, after he had gone out,
she telephoned Sylvia Blake.
