CHAPTER THREE

"Does Mrs. Kendall still dis
like me so much?" asked Cathy
hesitantly.
''Not you, sweet-any woman
between six and sixty who
might just conceivably give me
the eye," Bill admitted almost
brusquely. "But don't let's think
about her now, darling. Let's
lust think about us. I've - I've
missed you so, Cathy. It's been
plain, unvarnished hell, these
last months when I've known
you were risking your pretty
neck-while l stayed safely here
at home behind an office desk
and let others do my share OF
the fighting"
Her arms went close about
him and she rested her cheek
against his.
"Somebody had to stay here
at home, sweetheart. We
couldn't all pack up and shove
off and start shooting She
cornforted him tenderly. Your
lob was just as important - a
lot more so-than if you'd been
slogging through the mud car
rying a gun. You made it pos
sible for others to CO."
"Sure, sure" he said dryly.
81 know all the answers, honey.
But it still didn't make me very
happy"
He kissed her hard and held
her a little away from him. But
the dusk had thickened now,
and her face, though only a few
inches from his own, was a pale
blur in the darkness.
"You're thin, angel-and you
look terribly tired" he said and
his voice ached with tenderness.
"Blessed, now that you've re-
signed"
She laughed little, softly, a
laugh that was a caress.
81 haven't resigned, my dar-
ling. One doesn't resign from
the Army" she reminded him.
"Well, then, now that you
have your discharge"
"1 haven't" she interrupted
quickly. II have sixty days.

His arms tightane1 nnviously
about her.
"You were u,o''oded9" he
sked sharply.
''No, of course not I'd have
written you, or had someone
write" she comforted him
swiftly. "I've been i'll - jungle
fever - nothing too serious. I'll
shake it off and pick up few
pounds and be in the pink by
the time my leave is up"
He held her against him 81
1ently for a moment. and then
he said roughly, "I never

when I'd not want YOU to be in

SYNOPSIS

Distribyisd by King Features syndieofe

Cathy Layne, Army nurse,
was disappointed when Bill Ken
dali, with whom she had been
in love since childhood, failed to
meet her when she arrived
home on leave after long serv-
ice in the Pacific. Aunt Maggie,
with whom Cathy lived, dis
closed that Edith Kendall, Biu's
wealthy, arrogant aunt, had
sent him on a short business
trip, and had undoubtedly failed
to give him the telegram Cathy
had sent announcing the time OF
her arrival. Bills mother had
been disinherited when she
married against her fathers
wishes and, following her death,
Edith, who had inherited the en-
tire Kendall fortune, had adopt
ed Bill. Jealous and possesslve,
she resented anyone who might
take him from her. Maggles S
deductions were correct, Tor
when Bill arrived later that eve
ming, Cathy learns he did not
get her wire.

and laughed down at her tender
ly.
S matter, angel? Kitty-cat
got your tongue?" he teased.
"Or did you forget me while you
were gomez"
81 couldn't forget you, darling
--never!" she told him huskily.
His arms tightened, and his
cheek was hard against her
own.
II must have some pretty
high-powered competition,'' he
teased. "All those dashing pilots
and bombardiers and so on
"You wouldn't have had any
competition if all the best-look-
ing men in the world had been
standing in line, suing for my
heart and hand" she told him
with a small, shaky laugh. And
contentment flowed into her
heart beneath the hard, eager
pressure of his kiss for which
she had hungered so long.
Everything was going to be
all right! Going to be? She
moved a little closer to him -
everything was all right. She
adored Bill, he loved her. and
they would be married. And no.
body could stop them! She had
a mental vision of Mrs. Kendall,
but brushed it aside. She and
Bill were grown up and there
was nothing Mrs. Kendall or
anyone else could do to prevent
their marriage. Nothing! And
she did not realize the over-em-
phasis of her thought that hint
ed at a fear buried deep in her
mind.
Cathy awoke to find her
pretty room flooded with sun
light and was startled to see
that the clock on the dresser
pointed to five minuets past ten.
She stretched luxuriously, then
hoped out OF bed, to stand for
a moment at the window, look
ing out into the glorious spring
morning, before she hurried in
to the bath for shower. She
got into slacks and a shirt and
brushed her hair back from her
forehead and tied a ribbon
about it.
When she entered the kitchen,
Maggie was just coming in from
the garden with a pan of new
peas.
"Well, now, you look like you
had a good Sleep" said Maggie
happily.
"I did. Oh, it was glorious"
said Cathy happily. "Only you
shouldn't have let me sleep 80
late.''
"And why not? Pete's sake,
just because I'm used to getting
up at six, with Jessie to milk
and the chickens to feed and
those two pigs-land, I'm glad
you could sleep. Sit down there
at the table while I get you some
brea!cast."
"Just Grange juice and coffee,
please"
''Orange juice and coffee, my
foot! Strapped Maggie. you'll
have orange juice and scrambled
eggs and a slice of my home cur
ed ham and lots of but
tered toast and some of the
strawberry preserves l made
just specially for YOU"
Il couldn't" laughed Cathy
but Maggie refused to listen.

perfect health; but if getting
back in shape means you'll stay
on in the Army - Surely, now
that the war is over"
'It isn't over for the men who
are still in hospitals all over the
country, and for those in
occupation zones who get hurt
or fall i'll, dearest. AS long as
there are sick and wounded
soldiers in hospitals anywhere
within the American sphere,
I'm subject to call. That's the
way l want it to be, Bill. I -
can't shirk my duty"
"Shirk my aunt's glass hiatt"
exploded Bill furiously. "You've
served for twenty-six months in
the most dangerous areas where
any woman could be permitted !;
you've been a flight nurse and
you've worked like a dog and
risked your life every minute of
every day - and you call it
sinking now that I suggest you
get out of it?"
She waited a moment, holding
her breath. Here, if ever was
the time for him to say, Dom
you suppose / want to marry
you, Cathy? Ask for your dis
charge and We'll be married.
But he didn't say it. There was
a tiny, taut silence, as though
he sensed what she was think
ing and because he could not
dared not?-say that, he kissed
her again.
"Wel, anyway" he said
roughly, "you're home now and
a lot can happen in sixty days.
Cathy, my dearest dear, have
you any possible idea how much
I love your"
Cathy put down the small, un-
easy fear in her heart that
seemed, somehow, disloyal,
and said eagerly, "Tall me
about it,"
But even as he held her close
and kissed her and whispered
into her ear all the lovely things
she had so long dreamed of
hearing him say, that little un-
easy questioning feeling
persisted. They had been "going
together" in the Cypressville
phrase, since childhood. 1t had
always been assumed that some
day they would be married.
There had never been a formal
engagement. None had been
needed, for in Cypressville such
things are taken for granted.
But now she wondered a little
and the wonder was a fright
ening thing. All during the long,
long months she had been over
seas, she had held close an d
warm in her heart the dream
of marriage to Bill, some day
when the war was over. During
long sessions in the nurses
quarters when she and her
friends had been indulging their
nostalgia, she had talked of Bill;
no other man had ever held a
moments place in her heart.
Of course, she had known al
ways that there was his aunt,
who had adopted Bill at fifteen
and had clung to him so jeal-
ously that she had resented
even his boyhood friends; but of
course, she had reasoned wi tn
herself, even Aunt Edith could
not prevent his marriage when
the time came.
Bill shook her ever so gently

While individual stocks con-
tinued to exhibit strength in to-
days market, selling opposi-
ton was sufficient to put
numerous leaders in the losing
division.
Tax offerings were plentiful
from the start with low-quoted
issues coming in big blocks. Re-
sistance to the bulge was more
pronounced in the final hour
and early advances running to
2 or more points were reduced
or converted into declines at the
close. Transfers of 100000
shares compared with $4,000 the
day before.
Professional contingents were
disposed to cash in on the re-
cent rally which followed four
successive downward weeks.
The idea was that the list had
negotiated a technical revival
and was again vulnerable. An
other heavy flow of year-end
dividends brought mild response
from a few stocks but was ig-
nored by others concerned.
Business optimism still was a
sustaining factor but numerous
customers stood aside to await
foreign and congressional de-
velopments.

Industrial Shares
Rise 10 New High
Since Last August
BY Victor Eubonk
Associated Press Finoneioi Writer

NEW YORK, July 24.-Demand
for steels, oils, coppers and special
issues today lifted the stock mar
ket's industrial average to new
high since last August.
Dealings, active in the forenoon,
with sizable blocks of low-quoted
petroleum shares appearing, slowed
after midday. Gains of fractions TO
2 or more points were widely dis
tributed near the fourth hour.
Investment buying and short COW
ering again were based partly on
inf1ationary psychology, more op-
timistic view of the business out
look and hopes for an extension Of
the markets summer rally. Selling
cropped up at intervals from skep-
tics who felt that a substantial
technical correction was overdue.
Foreign affairs were a restraint in
addition to doubts regarding the ex-
port situation.
Boosted dividends buoyed Inter-
national Silver, Inspiration Copper
and Chile Copper. The first named
was at 1947 top along with Cudahy,
Standard Oil of New Jersey, Texas
Co.. Sunray Oil, American Smelling
and Allied Chemical. Butler Broth
ers dipped in the wake Of a cut
quarterly dividend.

Bethlehem, Republic Steel. J. L.
