T AURETTE was dining alone in
IL her apartment, while outside
the tempo of New Years Eve cell
ebration grew in intensity.
1t was quiet, sitting there by cam
delight, a beautiful moment to re-
fleet back over the IL months just
ending-except that tonight was so
crucial! Tonight the vigil would
end, the problem would resolve it.
self. But which way?
1t was strange thing they had
done. Just a year ago tonight,
while all New York was going mad
welcoming the New Year with rau-
cous gaiety, they had been sitting in
this very room-yes, Harry over
there in the big arm chair and she,
Laurette, in the very chair she &C.
cupied at this moment. Laurie"
he used to call her; not 'Laurette,"
the name everyone else used, but
Laurie the convenient abbrevia-
ton he had invented.
I'm failure, Laurie" he had
said. Five years on the same job
with nothing to show save a thin
ming head Of hair and an almost
empty bank account"
Laurette remembered how she
had tried to comfort him, and
then the bombshell:
No, honey" he. had said fatty.
TITS no use. We can't be married,
for I'd merely be fastening a mill
stone around your neck. I'm leav-
ing-leaving you right now!"
She had cried, protested, and then
he had agreed to make a game of
it. His parting words, still vivid,
were:
IF you'll wait a year, Laurie,
dear-a year from tonight. If I've
succeeded, if I've made something
of myself by then, I'll be back. A
year from tonight If not, well,
probably you'll never see me
again"
She still remembered the firm set
of his shoulders as he walked out
the door that night, bound he knew
not where.
She remembered the questions
their friends had asked. Where was
Harry? Away on a long trip she
had replied, at first. Then she had
ceased to offer excuses, and of
course the friends stopped asking
questions.
Only once had there been word of
him, and then only very indefinite
news.
II saw him getting into cab on
Market street." Bill Collins had told
her upon returning from a trip to
San Francisco. "At least think it
was Harry. Saw him only an in
slant, though, and couldn't be
sure!"
