CHAPTER x


 TEARS burned in Thaver's eyes
 as she undressed. I've done the wrong thing again, she thoughL.
 She began mechanically to Gr,lsh her hair. The motion steadied her, but 1t could not check the newll1er- ed groping of her thought She stopped as she remembered how feeling had jerked through her when she had found Brock end Moya on the terrace. Savage feel- ing, strangely unlike her present at titude toward Brock. Jealousy.
 She thought slowly, l love him, or l couldn't have felt like that. In spite of the befogging of the present the feeling was there. Realization was light falling into a dark place. No wonder Brock felt bewildered, uncertain. In her way she had been as uncertain as he.
 I, I've let him down, Thayer thought. I've let him rebuff me because he was hurt, rebuffed. I've seen my side of it, not Brooks.
 She would go talk to him, let- ting neither temper or nerves dis may her. While he was weak the strength must come from her 10 bring him again to that wholeness of spirit which alone could sur- mount his physical maiming.
 So swept along by her intenSioE was Thayer that it was shock to find Brooks chair empty on the terrace. Then, as she stood non- plussed, his voice spoke from ln- side the room. Who is it2"
 She turned in quick relief and going to the French door pushed 1t open. Its me, Brock. T--I shouldn't have got angry; I'm sor- ry. Lets let's talk, can't we? Brock, where are youp" Her eyes groped in the dimness. ' As they adjusted somewhat she 1A saw he was standing by the long window to the left of the door. He must have been there as she came along the terrace for there had been no sound of move- ment.
 Thayer came in slowly. Be- hind her the moonlight lay in long silvered panels, broken by the quivering pattern of wtnd- stirred eucalyptus.
 She could not yet see distinctly and she spoke a little breathleasly. Brock, forgive me about tonight getting angry. More than any thing I-I want things right be- tween us.'
 I've not doubted that, Thayer. Your efforts, I mean" His voice had a low desperate quietneSs. You've done all you could, know that. know what you're up against
 She shook her head. Has either of us really understood the others sidep I've tried, but then I've been scared, guess"
 of me? So it's like that
 Brock, don't say anything un- til I finish, please don't" She took Q deep breath. While you were gone I was frightened you might find me different than you expected when you came back. How? You'd been through things could never share. Would l

seem the same to you? Or would you have outgrown me?"
 "Thayerl'
 "It's true"
 "You're saying this to make me feel better, because you're sorry z
 She came closer in her anxiety to make him understand, and the moon moving from behind the eucalyptus shed more light into the room. "No, Brock, I ,' She stopped. She saw him now, almost clearly. But the crutcheS were somehow hidden. The illu- sion was of a man, tall and sure, sts~ding there in an attitude oi waiting. Suddenly 1t was Brock come back to her. She caught her breath and could find nc words.
 Within them, magnetic and compelling, rose the resistless force that had once swept them togther. It was in the grip ot the arm outreaching to draw her to him; 1t was in the crazy beating of her heart, the hungry lifting of her lips to the seeking of his. IL was in the smothered cry of her name .,.
 Magically life traded its com plexities for the soft stiffness Of the night and the prodigally- spilled silver of the moon. THE knocking awakened 'Thayer | She struggled up, listening. Momentarily she was bewildered to find Brock beside her. Then, as things fell into place in her mind she rose quickly before the knocking might come again to waken him.
 She opened the front door and Mrs. Kitteridge staggered in to cling weakly to the newel post. "Oh, Thayer - I'm glad it's you. I-cant find my key. I was afraid to ring for fear Brock ]"
 Something's happened. You're ill.,"
 Help me upstairs, we can talk there. Brock mustn't know"
 When they reached the bedroom she collapsed weakly. There's a blue bottle -- in the bathroom cabi- net. Get 1t. Thayer." Her face was pinched, her breathing difh- cult.
 Later, somewhat relieved she insisted upon talking. T shouldn't have gone. I hate bridge. Thayer' the voice held fierce insistence- promise me you won't hint to Brock of this. He saw me once before and he worried so. In his condition he mustn't.
 But you must see doctor"
 But you must see a doctor"
 Tomorrow. I couldn't have Dr. Pelham coming at this hour and upsetting Brock. I've had att tacks before. Often they go away very quickly. I'll be better In the morning. Thayer, you'll say noth- ing to Brockp'
 If you insist, but ."
 T do insist"
 "1'll say nothing. Mrs. Kit fridge"
 "Thayer. if you'll leave my door open and your own, so I can call ."
 Well ."
 You don't mind, do youp You don't feel this is an imposition Thayer?'

1 BEAUTIES HINTS
 Keep Teeth Clean For Sweet Breath
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Many a breath owes its fragrance to its owners habit of using dental bloss between teeth that crowd to- gether. @
 Dislodging food, which SO quickly becomes decomposed, is a good prac- tice for still anothre reason. Gums are sometimes irritated by these dodgers. !
 But since yanking with piece of floss also can wreak havoc with gums, you should for safety's sake ask your dentist on your next visit to show you how to use 1t.
 Now, that we're on this subject of' mouths, maybe this is a good time to mention another practice that will assure you sweet breath. That's the simple business of uncoating a tongue.

HOLLYWOOD. Sept. 11.-DEAR STAFF: Despite our joy at the re- turn of peace, think we should pause a moment to reflect seriously on it's hideous implications for hun dreds of Hoilywoodites.
 For instance, let's shed sym pathetic tear for the grandstanders who will no longer be able to say. T wouldn't dream of doing my own housework If 1t weren't for the serv- ant problem!" With local war plants letting out thousands of workers, there isn't going to be a servant problem" to use as a con- venient alibi.
 And let's heave a great big sigh for the nincompoops in Hollywood's high places, who have been able to hang on to their jobs and their fat paychecks only because of the manpower shortage. The men they replaced are coming home, and it looks like honest ability will again be an accepted yardstick.
 Last, but not least, kiddies, let's sob a heartfelt sob for Hollywood's boudoir commandos-the wolves in multi who have cut such wide swathes because no other male escorts were available. Poor civil ian wolves, what a rude shock awaits them! How can they hope. with their small talk, to compete with the be-ribs ned veterans of a dozen battlefronts.
 Seriously kids, ain't peace won- derful!

 Recently a correspondent asked how he could drive bats out Of the attic so Hle,could close a small open ing in the. roof and keep them out. suggested that the blaze away at them with an air rifle about dusk till they leave the attic then close the opening.
 Another correspondent has a bet ter answer:
 Dear Sir: F..
 We kill bats, suseful snakes and lizards, useful spiders, drag on flies. useful hawks, owls and other predatory birds and man. nals merely because we are afraid Of them or don't like them or feel sorry for their prey.
 Bats in the United States, most of Mexico and Canada are all insectivorous. There are no fruit bats or vampire (blood lapping) bats in the United States. The bats in the United States carry vermin but not the kind of vermin that will in any way bother hu- mans. Bats carry no bedbugs) Parade of the Animal Kingdom, p. 536, Hegner, Smithsonian Scientific Series No. g, D. 320). Bats eat mosquitoes. Mosquitoes carry parasite diseases as many soldiers and sailors returning from the Orient with malaria and other such diseases know. Most of our U s. mosquitoes do not carry malaria, but in some parts of the South the malaria carrying mosquitoes keep up a pretty ser- ious sickness and death rate from malaria.
 It would seem that We ought to encourage the bat, as a use- full friend to man. Bats kill lawn moths, June bugs. and many other destructive insects. Bats congregate thickest where there are the most insects.
 Personally, I'd be glad to have bats nest in the attic if I lived near mosquito breeding pool, pond or other stagnant water.
 If the bats must be excluded from the attic the easiest way to discourage them is by keeping a very bright light in the attic night and day, using creosote paint freely( bats do not like the smelD, or by putting on leather or heavy canvas gloves and a mask to protect the face and hair( If you're afraid, though really they will avoid your face and hair) end pick them up and put them out gently, and then seal or screen the opening through which they gained entrance.
 Please don't add to the preju- dice against such useful friends as bats. We hurt both them and ourselces by killing them.
 (Signed, )
 Thank you, B. J. I was 100% wrong In my answer and my face is scarlet. The shameful truth is that I answered the query without properly weighing the harmfulness against the usefulness of bats first. I had only a vague prejudice against them-a prejudice, like most such opinions, founded on IGNORANCE,
