Everything seemed to center abou
Anne. He felt 1t one night when
Mrs. Reynolds wasn't feeling well
and Laura sent him away so she
could take care Of her mother. He
asked IL he should look for Anne,
and Laura snapped, GO ahead IL
you want to, but l don't need her.
I can take care Of my mother. It's
nothing but a little Indigestion be-
cause she stuffed at dinner"
Russell strolled down to John
sons store : to have a soda as an
excuse to see if Anne was there.
He had enjoyed finding Anne and
Dan there the evening they had
quoted gossip. He wanted to ask
If Anne had been in, but that
wouldn't do. He was annoyed at
Laura's suggestion to go find her
il he wanted to. 1t seemed to add
another brick to the wall which
was building up between them, and
he wasn't sure he wanted that wall.
His mind was so clear on legal
matters, but he was muddled over
Anne and Laura and Dan. He knew
he was.
Mrs. johnson beamed at him as
he drank his soda. The store was
full Of people. mostly men, as 1t
was one Of the few Talbot gather
ing places. She said:
Where is Dan ? He doesn't come
in much"
He laughed. Who can keep up
with Dan? You know how he U.s."
A man leaned against the coun-
ter and grinned. He sure Is inter

he didn't drown her"
II was irritating. Russell paid for
his drink and left. He decided to go
home and read. Dan might be home
and would make him laugh by tell
ing him stories about the west He
felt he wanted to think of some
thing, anything as far away from
Talbot and himself as possible. As
he turned the corner toward his
house he could see the living room
was lighted up. though the shades
we're pulled down. II made him
smile. Dan had changed in that, at
least Stree his return. Before. he'd
always said anyone could look in

doing anything that concerned any

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
RUSSELL continued to keep
busy now that Dan and Anne had
returned to Talbot, and he consid-
cred himself lucky. Cases came up
and he continued winning them. In
the late afternoon he enjoyed the
lovely ten-mile drive back to Tai
bot, where Dan and dinner would
be waiting for him. There was no
Mrs. Gander now. When he had a
Job Of sorts Dan got Maggie, a good
old colored woman, to clean up and
cook. After dinner Russell read or
vent to see Laura
Strangely enough, he preferred
the reading evenings to seeing
Laura now. She no longer attract
ed him as she had once. and with
the coming of summer she was
Buster also He preferred going to
see Mrs. Reynolds on evenings
when Laura wasn't there or busy.
Then Anne was home and he could
talk to her. He wouldn't acknowl-
edge he went to see Anne, but he
did know he enjoyed himself more
when Anne was with the old lady
and not Laura. When Laura was
home Anne went out walking. Sit
ting with Laura, to whom he was
engaged, he would be stleot because
he was thinking Of Anne. He Won
dered where she wandered to in
Talbot, which was such q small
place, especially at night
He didn't talk about AEne to
Laura or about Dan. He was still
angry that she should have told
him to send Dan away. He would
have told her so IL she had given
him a chance by opening the sub
ject, but she never did. AS to Anne,
she said, in answer to his question.
that she was glad the girl was back
because she was so busy and her
mother would have been neglected.
Mrs. Reynolds was more out
spoken.
I'm glad Annes back because I
like her" she said. II was lonesome
when she was away and worried
every day I'd get letter saying
she WASH coming back"
Lauras smile was superior. You
don't suppose she's fool enough to
give up a soft job like this"
Il wish / were as sure about
things as you are her mother re-

warm, fragrant darkness. He re-
spected Mrs. Reynolds mind as he
did no one else's in Talbot. He was
afraid she might come out bluntly
some time and ask him IL 1t really
wasn't Anne he was interested in
and not Laura He didn't want to
be asked that question because he
knew he couldn't answer it honest
ly. He would be forced 70 say, You
have forgotten I'm engaged to
Laura" and he didn't want TO say
that He was quite sure no one in
Talbot had forgotten. least of all
himself. He felt he had an ogliga-
ton and it was wrong OF him to
come to see Anne al all under the
circumstances.
He WAS also troubled by some
change in Anne since her return,
He wasn't sure just what 1t was
but he felt it as they talked about
books and flowers and equally i'm
personal subjects while the old lady
dozed comfortably in her chair,
rousing herself now and then to
make some dry, amusing remark
The comrents always were to the
point, so one wondered how sound
| the doze had been. 1t made him
feel he wanted to be alone with
Anne and have a serious talk with
her He knew just how he would
begin, by telling her he was law
yer and he was sure she had some
thing on her mind Could she tell
him and let him help her IL pos
sible? After all, lawyers did help
people, on occasion, out Of court as
wen as in 1t. They could help per-
son think. They had trained minds
The only trouble was he couldn't
so much as ask her to go to Weston
to the movies with him on one OF
her nights off. He couldn't very
we'll say to Laura. I won't see you
tonight because I'm taking Anne
out" Still less could he try to do il
secretly. Talbot and Weston had
no secrets. Talbot had Miss With
ers and Weston was larger but
similar. Even II Laura didn't say
anything, she would be hurt, and
he didn't want to hurt her. He
would have felt better II he had
wanted 10. That would have shown
she was still important 10 him
And he knew she wasn't. There had
been that one moment when he
wanted to catch her in his arms
and shower her face With kisses
but she had spoiled everything by
wanting TO drive Anne away
So Anne was mixed UP in things.
