Bernie. Want to go to the Mes

Thanks, but I've got some en-
listing to do. Take care Of the

"Righto! Phone the studio for me
in the morning, will you, old chap! ?"
Bernie said morosely: IF It's still
there"
They arrived at the Mesquite IN
the night. Sandra could hardly wait
until morning so that she could see
the place. It looked just as It had
when she had arrived the year be-
fore. With the exception OF the dis
NAL rain. Purple and yellow flowers
were there is profusion. The new
poinsettias were splashing their
Christmas red against the white
adobe.
Spenser had been right when ne
called the place home" No matter
what happened, wherever they
might go - Hollywood, Chicago.
even England-this peaceful ranch
house would be a sanctuary.
Gordon arrived the next day.
Sandra had known he would come
and was watching for him.
II caught a plane to La Madera
and the jerk water on up. Where's
my baby?" he demanded.
But just then Belinda came run
ming. "Daddyw she shouted. There
was no embarrassment between
them now.
"Skeeteri" the man cried joyful
ly, and tossed her into the air as II
she were a tiny little girl. Lets
have a lot Of fun today, because
Daddy is going away. He Is going
to be a soldier or a sailor or some
thing"
Belinda dropped her face against
the mans neck, but soon lifted II
bravely. "Sure, Dad"
Her courage was soon tested
again. Get into your bathing suit.

theirs face was jovial smile, but
when she obeyed him and left, the
smile disappeared. He said to San
dra: 1T has to be done. have 10

When she came to the pool Be-
linda was biting her lip nervously.
Her father gave her no time TO
talk. He grasped her hand and led
her to the exact spot from which
her mother had dived.
Here we go!" he shouted.
Spenser followed. E.stella and
Brody were taking part in this
party also. Even Texie.
A few minutes later. while every
one else frollcked in the water,
Gordon Adams came out to sit at
Sandra's feet. II remember when
you sat in that very chair and told
me off about Belinda"

saw Gordon in Chicago, darling,
and heard all. Say, do you know
that fellow wouldn't even have one
drink with me? What do you think
OF that, darling?"
II think it's great"
Hes truly on the righteous
path, darling" The man looked
shocked. Somehow I don't enjoy
calling you darling anymore"
That's because you don't really
love me-"
He protested: But DO"
Sandra shook her head. But you
don't, darling. You'll find that out.
You seem to forget I was around
Wakeman-B enet for several years.
l remember well your average. A
new girl every six weeks. Or maybe
it was a month"
"They weren't like you. Sandra.
I'm afraid I'll never find anyone
like you. Say. I'm mighty sad.
You'd better at least invite me to
cocktails"
"You can stay for dinner Brody

Naturally, as the weeks went by,
Sandra missed her friends. But her
new life was so absorbing that 1t
gradually took her thoughts and
dreams. She could spend hours just
thinking about Gordon, planning
their future.
In November, Superior Studios
released a picture OF Sponsors
which they deemed good enough
for a premiere. Sandra was dumb
founded when he dressed for the
theater In his first dinner Jacket.
So long as he wore short trousers
she had not noticed the change in
him quite so much.
Now she saw that Spenser, the
spoiled child. was disappearing. He
was taller also, and less awkward.
In short, he was some boy.
But she couldn't say that, natur-
ally. Sandra merely smiled and
asked: How about your auto
graph ?"
How about youps2" he coun-
tered. you are the prettiest wom-
an in the world, Sandra." He gazed
at her reflection in the full-length
mirror. She wore a dress OF white
chiffon and the white orchid, that
Spenser had sent her, in her hair
The boy offered: "Ill fasten your
pearls" and stepped up behind her
In a way it pleased her that he
had to stand on tiptoe to do It
Also, 1t pleased her to see him
catch a quick look at his own glory
while pretending TO watch her. Hes
not grown up yet, she thought
contentedly.
Belinda also had a white gown

 C0NvALE5CING AT HOME OF pAQENTS

RecS9eling from wounds received while with the And Division in Germany, as well as from 80 days of living hell' as prisoner in a horror" hospital at Heppheim, Germany, Pfc. Wm. Eylar is now spending a 9O-day convalescent fur tough at his parents home in Liv- ingston, Montana.
 1 With him for the summer are his wife, the former Annabelle Hagerup, and daughter, Donna Darlene, of Juneau.
 Bill, who was captured January g after being hit by machine gun slug in the thigh, and shrapnel in the back, spent 80 days in the Heppheim hospital.
 On March 27, the Third Division of the Seventh Army broke into Heppheim, oyerrunning the town and freeing the American prisoners in the hospital That was day Bill and the other prisoners will never forget. Everyone was cry ing" Bill said of that day.
 Two days later, Gen. Devers visit ed the hospital, and arrangements were made to move the men out by air. Ambulances took them to an airstrip from which they were flown to a hospital in Paris, and on, April 13 Eylar started the re- turn trip home by air, arriving two days later in New York. Then on April IT, he was flown to Baxter General Hospital in Spokane, ar irving there just four days after leaving the battle zone.
 German treatment of the prison CTS was horrible, according to Fly lar, who lost CT pounds during his imprisonment. The hospital base ment, he reported, was full of Red Cross food packages, but evidently they were not given to the prison CTS. The wounded men considered themselves lucky in one respect, since they at least were not beaten as were the others.
