ed, "better wear rubbers, the

For the first time since she had
been at Oakhart, Janet really
wanted to get away from it. She
had to divest herself of every
view of the house and grounds,
avoid contact with those inside
them in order to think things out
clearly.
Beyond Oakhart was an uncut
timbered tract of spruce and
alder and hickory. It rose above
the surrounding valleys and
formed clay bluff above the
river. It was dryer ground and
the sun touched it often. Janet
plodded upward, taking the rise

When You Went
Away

Uncle Sam called and you had
to answer,
That sad day came when you
had to 60.
AS you went my heart went with
you
And I prayed that no bad news
I'd have to know.
You asked me, my little darling,
If I'd be true to you each day,
And / answered back the question
Saying, yes, I'll be true while
you're away.
When you left my poor heart was
broken, ...
It seemed that I could never go
on.
All I looked forward to was your
letters
And wonder why time was so
long.
When could not hear time SEEM
ed endless
Then when news came it slowly
went on.
1t was then my heart was glad
dened
And I felt like singing a song.
Then came the news that you
were wounded in action
With the sad news my poor heart
did cry.
1t was then that 1 would look
up to Jesus
And beg Him to please not let
you die.
I'd ask Him to be a guide, dear
To watch DER you wherever
you lay.
I'd ask Him to heal and comfort
you
And let you come back some
sweet happy day.
AS ! promised I was faithful,
was true to you each day.
And you promised me, my dar-
ling,
That you would repay me in some
way.
The ring was placed upon my
finger
AS token of our love,
While I wore it was true and
faithful.
Faithful as the morning dove.
Two long years waited for you,

tain type of personality of which
he is the epitome. Now suppose
you show me around Oakhart."
During Richards convalescence
he had asked more and more for
Naomi. He insisted on her read
ing to him in the afternoon. Fre-
quently Janet would .overhear
him correcting her pronunciation,
asking her to raise or lower her
voice. Often he would interrupt
to ask for a glass of water or an
apple from the kitchen or to adj
just his pillows.
Janet was hurt, but since she
was now doing Richards medical
work as well as her own, they
were lucky to have Naomi to wait
on him. She was quite eager at
first, but on the third day Janet
ran into her in the hall. She was
smoking and moodily gazing out
the window at the bleak Febru-
ary landscape.
''Is Richard sleeping, Naomi?"
mo, he's probably just lying
there thinking of more errands
for me to run. He doesn't like
me to smoke in there, so I came
out here"
For the first time in their ac-
quaintance Janet felt sorry for
her. you've been a great help
to u.s."
Richard had undergone an
other change. Usually the most
meticulous of men about his per-
sonal appearance, now he refused
to shave. A grizzled, sandy and
most unbecoming beard had
sprouted all over his face.
Naomi eyed him with distaste,
later taking Janet aside.
"Can't you do something with
him, Janet? He's going to look
like a backwoods lumberjack." "
Janet smiled inwardly. 'Pm
only his wife, Naomi. If he won't
do it for a pretty nurse like you,
he certainly won't shave it off
for me. Did you ask him?"
"YeS, and he nearly snapped
my head off,"
ssWell, I'm afraid we can't do
anything about it, then. He's still
sick, you know-or thinks he is. -
"All men are obnoxious" Ma
omi announced bitterly.
Janet laughed. Surely not all
men, Naomi"
Two tears tirckled from her
enormous dark eyes. "Janet, I've
been thinking of something"
"What is it, Naomi?"
'I'm afraid you'll think me a
gutter, but, we'll" she sudden
ly looked acutely embarrassed
and equally determined. "Well,

Janet went into the kitchen for
some Of Mrs. Miles eye-opening
coffee. When she returned, Cliff
beckoned her into the bedroom.
Come in here and talk to me.
I've given Richard sedative; he
won't hear word we say if we
keep our voices low."
She glanced quickly at the
white face of the man in the bed
then crossed to the window.
t'There isn't much to say, is
there, Cliff"
"Janet, it's absurd to go on
torturing yourself like this" he
said softly. "Why don't you tell
Richard you love him?"
81 can't Cliff. Don't you see
what an awkward position that
would put him in? He's so fine
he'd feel he had to pretend"
ttLoving you wouldn't be hard
to pretend, Janet"
'It would be for Richard. He's
too straightforward a person to
act out an insincere emotion"
"He's fool, then. Janet, if
thought I had a chance, I'd -
you're sweet, Cliff, but there'll
never be anyone but Richard for

she added dispiritedly, 81 guess
there'n never be anything that
means as much as medicine and
Oakhart to him."
Cliff busted himself feeling
Richards pulse; strange smile
played around his lips.
"a AS soon as the highway was
feared, Cliff left for the city and
returned with DR.. Windell. The
senior surgeon was closeted with
Richard for some time while Cliff
paced up and down the hall,
lighting one cigarette from an
other.
When Windell emerged from
the sick room, Cliff stared at him
nervously, moistening his lips.

to agree. When we get back to

they'll give me credit for my
work here if Richard will write
a sort of reference"
WED hate to lose you, of
course, but I do think your ca
reer is more important"
Richard took the news with
much grumbling and complaint,
which only seemed to convince
Naomi that she was doing the
right thing. But when he heard
the front door close and Naomis
roadster swishing down the drive,
he heaved a sigh of relief and
swung his long legs out of bed.

''Abby thinks William would be

well, we have the means to
put him in a good one now. Mrs.

She'll hate US" Richard said.
'Tm afraid she already resents
you for owning Oakhart-she's
that sort of woman. However,
there's political campaign COM
ing up, perhaps that will divert
her. Gremont has been losing
some of his hackers lately"
He stared at them solemnly for
a long moment, then
Il had another reason for COM
ing here today-about that new
wing you want to build, Doctor" "
Richard frowned. Mrs. Eynon
doesn't want to place mortgage
on Oakhart, and since this hap
pened, I'm inclined to agree with
her"
"It's partly because of her atti-
tude that Pm making my offer.
I'd like to advance you the money
