She went down into the water
again and came up, pausing an in
slant to shake the drops out of her
eyes before she struck out for the
edge of the pool. Her face half sub
merged, she swan quickly. As her
fingertips touched the edge she lifted
her head and laughed from sheer joy
OF being healthy. She was not look
ing at anything when she put out
her hand to raise herself out of the
water, and was astonished and for
an instant embarrassed to feel her
fingertips closing on somebody's leg.
Elizabeth started back, about to
make an apology. But before she
could speak the young man had

THE STORY THUS FAR: Spratt Her.
long, successful motion picture producer,
had married Elizabeth, after her first
husband, Arthur Kittredge, had been re.
ported killed in World War I. They had
three children, Dick. Cherry and Brian.
Dick, II, would soon be called into serv-
ice. Spratt called Elizabeth to tell her
that he was bringing Kessler, a refugee
writer, to dinner the following night.
Kessler, who in reality was Arthur
Kttredge, had returned to America and
gone to work for Spratt. He believed
his disfgurements would prevent Eliza
beth from knowing him. The dinner date
was to be Just "a years since Arthur
was reported killed.

clear to the Battery one morning,

grasped her arms and lifted her to
the edge of the pool by him, and he
was begging her, There now, do it
again!"
"What?" she exclaimed, moving
back step, but he insisted,
1--WE been watching you. Honest
ly, that's the most beautiful swan
dive ever saw-please do it
again!"
She looked up at him, and in that
first moment she liked him because
he looked just the way she felt
young, joyous, alive with an extraor-
binary vitality. He was instantly so
vivid to her that Elizabeth ex-
claimed, do you often come here?
Why haven't met you before?"
II don't know. I was wondering
the same thing myself. I come
here a lot Saturdays and Sundays,
when I'm not working. My name is
Arthur Kittredge. Will you let me
see you do that dive just once
more?"
"Of course" she said, and ran
back to the ladder leading up to the
high diving board. At the top she
looked down at Arthur. He lay
stretched out, his eyes on her. AS
she saw him he smiled, raising his
hand in little gesture of praise, and
it was as though everybody else in
the pool had become invisible. Eliza
beth ran forward and arched her
body into the air, and as her hands
touched the water she knew it had
been the most graceful dive she had
ever made. "That's what it does for
you," she thought under the water,
"to have somebody to dive for"
Arthur sprang into the pool to
meet her. Though he was a big
young man who gave an impression
of great physical strength, he moved
with the grace of one long accus-
toned to rhythmic exercise They
swan up and down together, trying
to ride rubber swan and falling off
with shouts of laughter, till Eliza
beth lost her cap and Arthur had to
dive to find it for her, though by
that time her hair was down her
back, as soaked as though she had
never worn any cap at all. Nov I
look simply awful" she said, tread
ing water while she wrung out her
hair, but he retorted, You do not,
you look like a mermaid, tawny skin
and sea-green eyes and your hair
floating" They came out to sit in
the sun, and while she shook out her
hair to dry they talked without any
sense of strangeness.
Arthur told her he was research
chemist. He was employed by an
oil company to conduct laboratory
Investigations leading to additional
practical uses for petroleum, and he
had published several pamphlets de-
scribing his work. To Elizabeth the
profession sounded erudite and
clustered, not at all the sort to en-
gross beautiful young athlete. But
chemistry, he told her, was the most
exciting subject on earth, though
physics ran it a close second, or
maybe he should give that place to
biology-though it didn't matter,
