still make money" she said.
"Those fishermen could go away
and get other jobs"
Somehow her advice didn't set
well upon his already troubled
conscience.
Lets go on up" he suggested.
They climbed to the top and
stood looking down at the ma
jestic panorama of land and sea,
spreading smoothly far below
them. Distance gave the landscape
an added symmetry and made the
ocean look like an immense lake.
The roar of the tides were hushed
to a lulling murmur. Only the
wind screamed undated in their
ears.
AS they leaned on the rail that
encompassed the top of the light
house, Ronald wondered how he
could ask her the question that
had mystified him so long. In his
mind he phrased it several ways,
but in the end he said simply:
"Why did you marry Mitchell
Hodges?"
The question seemed to catch
her unprepared. She gasped.
ooh, Ronnie, darling" she pro-
tested. Must we discuss that? It's
over. You know Pm divorced now"

81 see. Well, I'll go cook dinner"
Darn it, Janet, why don't you
rct me hire cook 2"
"Then I'd be entirely useless"
she laughed.
Ronald watched her go down the
/ hill and along the beach toward
the lighthouse. There she turned
inland and walked toward the
rambling house where she, hel
father, and Ronald lived. AS she
turned indoors, he thought he saw
her shoulders slump as though
with fatigue. His head ached WITH
remorse for the hurt he had
caused her.
Then the heavy drone of motor
called mis- attention. His pulses
jumped wildly; and excitement, or
something akin to dread, plowed
through his nerves. The plane
cruised along the beach, headed
into the wind, and settled grace
fully onto the sand near the hill
where Ronald watched. He felt a
driving urge to run and hide. Yet
something magnetic, compelling,
drew him toward the airplane.
He saw Juanita step from tire
plane and stretch herself like a
cat. 1t occurred to him that all
her movements were cat-like, sinu-
Gus and graceful. AS he approached
her, her eyes narrowed lightly and
her small head tilted coquettishly.
ooh, Ronnie! Darling!" she ex-
claimed. "Six long years and you
haven't changed a Bit"
She threw herself into his arms
and ran her fingers up the back
of his neck and tangled them in
his hair. Her carressing hands
caused little sparks of delight to
course through him. AS he bent
to kiss her, he saw green fire
behind the narrow Sits of her
lowered lids, and a current of
half forgotten emotion swept from
his mind all dissenting thoughts.
Then she wriggled away and
said breathlessly, "You have
changed. You're hard as iron.
What a mani"
"Make up your mind" he
mumbled foolishly.
/ Her presence had always en-
chanted him and made his thoughts
like steel filings drawn by the ca
PRECIOUS designs of a heavy mag
net.
"YOur planet" he asked, trying
to drag himself free from the mad
whorl of desire.
mo, I borrowed it from a
friend"
Lets go up to the house.
Janet's fixing dinner"
who's she?"
"YOu remember he said. 'Uncle
Joe's daughter"
"Of course. How stupid of me
your step-sister. The homely
little thing with freckles and pig
tails.
Ronald thought he detected an
Off-key note in her throaty laugh.
"She's no kin at ALL" he said.
"But Uncle Joe's the only father
/ ever knew"
"She used to be jealous of me-"
said Juanita.
That's crazy" he denied. "She
was only a kid then"
kids can have IDEAS" she
laughed. "Why do you keep them
around? You aren't a homeless
waif any longer. Aren't they in
the way"
Hell no! You don't just use
people and then discard 'em."
AS they walked through the
soft yellow sand, she leaned on
his arm. "Ronnie dear, was only
joking. I didn't mean to make you
angry. Of course you feel obi
gated to them. / wouldn't have
you different"
"Skip it."

| Ronald could never understand
her amoral arguments or tell
whether she was serious or jok-
ing. He only knew that her pres
ence made him feel as if he were
swimming under water and being
sucked deeper and deeper by a
powerful maelstrom that was at
once caressing and threatening.
When they came up the cement
walk to the house, Janet was
standing on the porch. Ronald
could see that her smile was
forced, that she was making a
strong effort to appear pleased.
"Janet, darling!" Juanita ex-
claimed. "You haven't changed a
bit, except you've grown more
beautiful"
AS she embraced Janet, Ronald
saw that her rich beauty made
the mildly pretty girl seem plain
by comparison. He wondered if
there was a yelled sarcasm in
Juanita's remark.
All through lunch the women
kept a steady flow of talk. Ronald
became tired of their mental fenc-
ing. Their mutual dislike cut
around him like a vicious cross
current. Janet was usually quiet
and thoughtful; but now, by lively
remarks and a pretended interest
in Juanita's chatter, she drove
desperately to relieve the peculiar
tension in the room.
Lets go up the old lighthouse.
Ronnie," said Juanita. Il just
adore that view"
"Come on, janet he said.
"You two go ahead; Ill wash the
Dishes"
Never mind the Dishes" he
said. He didn't want to be alone
with Juanita; he couldn't trust
himself. Lets all CO."
Juanita grasped his hand and
led him toward the door. "We1l
be back later" she called to
Janet.
The dark interior of the light
house was damp and the wind
made wierd noises as it funneled
downward. Ronald followed the
women up the rusty stairs and
watched the rhythmic swing Of
her hips as she climbed the curv-
ing steps. At the third fight she
| stopped and leaned against him,
her breath coming in little gasps.
Strenuous exercise, this climb
ing" she laughed.
Then she was in his arms, the
contours of their bodies flowing
together. Her lips were soft and
moist and he crushed them
against his own. For a long while
he was aware Of nothing but the
intoxicating pressure Of her near
ness. But a poignant image of
Janet cut through his desire and
he held Juanita from him.
cts been a long time," she
Whispered. Her green eyes
changed to liquid black and
Ronald felt that he was plunging,
breathless, suffocated, into their
fathomless depths. He released
her and leaned on the window
sill. AS he fought to master his
upset emotions, he stared out at
the vast expanse of beach and
ocean. Juanita pressed against his
shoulder and asked softly, "HOw's
your business doing?"
"Just a little short Of cash right
now, The replied.
He wondered at her sudden in
terest in his work. She had always
said that money-making was for
those billiards who possessed no
imagination and could not value
the unique thrills of a life of
leisure. He told her of the offers
he had received for the boats and
cabins. She advised him to sell
the cabins.

ance be left out of the story.
The public should remember that
when a man is arrested, law en-

clamp a lid down on the prisoner
so that he has no chance to protect
himself through statements to the
press. Yet anyone outside the Jail

and too often people forget that
no man is guilty until found so by

United States. But many of its pre-

SULZBERCER ON KOREA

arthur Hayes Sulzberger, publisher of the New
York Times recently declared that the fighting in Korea
was "he first sane in history The publisher of what
is probably the best the United States said
this was true because for the first time nations have
joined together to resist aggression not merely IN order
to guard some particular strategic territory"
Mr. Sulzbergger offered an interesting observation
following this statement He declared he mot
peciay anxious to see truce reached at Pan Munjom,
and added that eff hosties ceased there Russia would
undoubtedly break out elsewhere and checking the Com
unss any other spot in the world would probably be
more expensive to us both in lives and in dollars"
The Editor does not wholly subscribe to Mr.. Sulz-
bergers views especially about end of hostities in
Korea though the general truth in Mr.. Sulzberger's
statement that the in Korea is sane war; is indis
putabe 1t is interesting to note that the publisher of the
New York Times, which is supporting General Dwight D.
Eisenhower and the General himself both support the

General Eisenhower admits bombing of China would not

some dsdents have claimed is also reassurng Partisan
politics should never be mixed in with the sacrifice of
mems lives in fight for democracy and the American
public is fortunate this year in that both presidential
candidates agree on the ideal at stake in Korea even
though they might disagree the methods which should
be used to bring about successful conclusion in Korea
