CHAPTER SEVEN

A CABLEGRAM from Denise
Karen's heat leaped, then con-
tracted with something akin to
fear as she took the yellow sheet
her father handed to her. II might
be bad news, instead Of good, for
they knew that that small Balkan
country, where Denise had gone to
make her home, stood in the path
OF Hitlers relentless war machine,
although as yet 1t had not been at
tackled. 1t was so seldom that they
, had any news, good or bad.
Once before a cable had been re-
ceived at the birth Of Denise's son;
again, few years later, when this
same little boy, named after his
grandfather, James Bell Durfee,
had lain at deaths door, stricken
with a mysterious fever; another,
months later, saying that the child
was on the road to recovery.
With such scant information re-
garding the life that Denise led so
many miles across the sea, it was
no wonder that Karen was appre-
hensive, although she knew what
ever news this message contained
must bear some gladness II II must,
at the same time, bring wave of
sadness, too. for how could she or
her father be reminded Of Denise
without the old sorrow sweeping
over them?
Again the message was about
Denise's son, no word concerning
herself. 1t simply stated that she
was sending the boy home, pas
sage having been secured on a
refugee ship bringing other chill
dren to America. 1t gave the ap-
proximate time Of the ships ex-
pected arrival.
So much and yet so little; there
was nothing to say what had led
to this sudden decision. Yet one
thing was significant; there was no
question as to what the boys well
come would be or II his GRANDPA
Their would take care of him. And
Denise had said she was sending
him "home."
II thought at first I'd keep It as
a surprise for you when the little
fellow got here" Jim said, his voice
still husky. He saw that for a mo-
ment she could not speak, for
Karen's eyes were trimming with
tears as she handed the message
back to him. He knew they were
the same mixture as his own emo
tons, Joy and sorrow. But when
you told me your big news de-
cided to spring mine on you. Think
OF 1t. chickadee, m" grandson,
Denise's boy. Now you know what
l meant by an addition to our
household"
I'm glad you told me-" Karen
said She did not know why she
should feel so choked up, unless 1t
was because the surprise was al

most too much for her. Its Won
derful news, dad. Almost too Won
derful to take in all at once. How
old do you suppose he is? What do
you suppose they call him? win it
be Little Jim and Big Jim from
now on? Do you suppose he looks
like Denise ?"
She asked these questions to try
to smooth over the intensity Of the
moment, not because she expected
him to know the answers. But they
would know soon. That was the
wonderful part. That silent wall
separating Denise from her family
would be removed. Perhaps a new
one, of forgiveness and under
standing, would slowly grow to
take its place.
Wen know all those things
when we see the lad" Jim Bell had
to give his nose a hard blow or he
would have tears singing his eyes
also. 1t had been almost TOO much,
as Karen had said, for him. I'm

Festival. 1 ought to return with
the boy within a few days, If the
ship docks on schedule"
Karen wondered if he was think
ing as she was-IF the boat docks
for Of course it would be a dan
gerous voyage. He must be brave
little boy, this unknown nephew Of
hers, to undertake such a long, per-
ilous journey, although there were
hundreds Of other little children
facing that same ordeal. 1t must
have taken courage for Denise to
send him, courage and heart break.
Cant l go with your" she
asked. Someone ought to be with
her father at such a time.
But he refused her offer. I'll
have other things to attend to

and thought l might ask Paul to
accompany me. In fact, my dear.
I'd rather you were here, waiting
for us. want you, personally, to
oversee the nursery quarters, the
rooms you and Denise used when
you were young 'uns. Cousin Ellen
would toss out most of the old toys
and furnishings as junk while you
will know what to discard and
what to hold onto. We must make
this home to the lad" He had to
blow his nose again, as he finished

would do everything in their power
to make the little boy happy. If
Paul went with her father she
would be satisfied. How nice it was
that her father knew he could call
upon Paul; 1t proved that he
thought Of him already as a son.
Karen would probably have to rely
on Pauls help. too, for she did not
know much about little boys.
Goodness, so much was happen
ing all at oncel It was like an ava

said, giving her father one more
tight squeeze before she left him.

has to use his gray matter these
days, with the market rising and
falling like an old tug on a high
sea and the government threaten

her old teasing tone. Good morn

gray matter too much. for I'm go
ing to beat him at golf this after
noon at three. II l can spare the
time, that is. If not, I'll send Paul
to take you on for me, darling"
She blew him a kiss and closed
the door Of the study behind her.
He was as strict about his hours,
from nine until two at his desk. as
If he were paid for them. But may
be he did have lot on his mind,
poor dear, with the business world
and the government in such a tur-
mol.
Certainly Karen now had a lot
on hers. There was the Festival
next week, the nursery rooms to
oversee, the arrival OF Denise's son,
shopping that must be begun for
the trousseau she supposed she
would have to start getting ready,
all the parties that would be given
as soon as her engagement was
known. Heavensl She would be
kept in a whirl for the next few
months. Then If her wedding took
place after the holidays that would
be another merry-go-round. But as
Jim had said, she could not do them
all in one day, or even think about
them at all at once.
She was glad she had made q
resolution to get up for an early
dip and swim, and to breakfast
afterwards. with her dad. 1t might
be a good idea to resolve further to
devote her mornings to the things
that had to be done, to work out a
set schedule. She supposed there
should be a schedule with a little
boy in house. That would make
a big difference in lots Of ways.
For the first time in her life
Karen realized that so far her ex-
istence had been a pretty aimless
one. She had gotten up whenever
it suited her. going to bed accord
ing to her mood as well; she had
drifted from one pastime to an
other. partying, basking in the
sun, swimming, golfing, dancing, a
continuous round Of play and pleas

ests and duties connected with vari-
Gus socially-guided charitable or
CARNATIONS, as had all the girls in
her set. But they had been part OF
the fun, too, never in any sense a
serious obligation or burden.
From now on, life should be more
in earnest. She would ty to char
ter a more worthwhile course. She
would have to put her girlhood be-
hind her with the formal acknowl-

would not be a girl, but wife!
There was another Jolt, but she
supposed It was one every girl got

Some 40 Nazi fighters sought tc
