THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW
"But you cannot do Paul any
good, Cleo, ana you'll only har
row up your own feelings," said
Chick.
"But don't you think I might at
least walk very soitly up to his
bedside? Do you think it would
hurt him to feel my kisa on his
forehead? Oh, it would be a little
kiss, Just a touch of my lips.
Even if he isn't talking, perhaps
in l)is heart he's wondering why
I'm not near. Paul wanted to see
me. He asked the doctor tor me
repeatedly. When I came to the
hospital Just after he had been
brought there he was very tender
toward me, and he forgave me."
"Of course he did, Cleo; I know
that. If be hadn't forgiven you,
he would not have told the doctor
that he fell and hurt his own
head. He' wanted to save you
from any trouble."
"Well, I expect I'll have
enough trouble when his father
and mother get here. They'll ask
all sorts of questions and the
first thing I know I'll tell them
everything. Then look out for
fireworks."
"You must not tell them It
woudn't be right. Paul woudn't
want you to. If you think you're
going to do any such thing I
shall tell Major Stetter to keep
Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong out of
the room."
"Oh, I don't mind Mr. "Arm
strong so much I think he would
understand. Hut Mrs. Armstrong
alwaya hated me. She blamed
me for our runaway match."
I couldn't help smiling, even in
my trouble as I thought of how
she had told around Pasadena
that I was trying to catch Paul,
while my mother was saying to
every one that Paul was taking
advantage of my youth to marry
into our family. Then again the
specter lifted its gory head..
"Whether I tell them or not.
Chick, Mrs. Armstrong will prob
ably be the first to have me ar
rested if anything happen to my
husband.
"Oh, Chick, I'm afraid, and
awfully sorry. I guess I'm sorry
for everything I've ever done. I
don't think 1 ve ever done any
thing right. It's all been such a
mistake from the time 1 was born.
"Chick, go and ask the doctor
if I cannot go in and see Paul.
1 must tea him. What do you
think I'm made ot to lie here and
know what Is going on in that
room up stairs; 1 can't do it.
Chick. I can't do it. Whatever
I've done done, I'm Paul's wife,
you know, and I should be with
him at thia time."
Whatever I've done, I'm Paul'
wife, you know, and I should be
with him at thia time."
I think Chick thought I was
hysterical and I guesa I was, for
it Is only now after Chick has
told me about It, that I can re
member In the least what I said
to him that morning. He told ma
afterward that he left the room
presumably in search of the doc
tor, because he could see I was
working myself up io a point
where 1 would go all tb pieces,
"I couldn't help being tympalh
tic with you," he explained later,
"and it wasn't sympathy you neod
ed juat at that moment. I told
you I would go and bring back
Major Stetter, which was a white
lie, my dear, for I knew the doc
tor would not let you see your
husband for fear he might try to
talk to you.
"I was not allowed to talk to
Paul," said Chick, "and he didn't
even know I was in town. After
I left you, Cleo, I went directly
to be prepared for the operation."
"And 1 waited, and waited, and
waited," I interrupted. "I was
mad with anxiety and remorse. I
wanted the time to pass quickly,
and yet it seemed to crawl on
leaded feet. I raised my waver
ing arms to heaven and prayed
that Paul would recover."
At last I could stand It no
longer. After Chick left I re
member, I rang my bell furiously
and after what seemed to be an
Interminable time, a nurse came
not the one who had been with
me the night before, but a tall,
angular, stern-faced woman who
did not approve of me, 1 was sure.
When I asked her, dear diary,
bow Paul was, she answered prim
ly that Lieutenant Armstrong was
undergoing blood translusion and
no one could tell Just what the
result would be for a while.
She said this as calmly as
though I Were not bis wife. I
wanted to scream. I wanted to
shake her out of her placidity. I
wanted to clutch ber arm and
hold it tight until she was black
and blue. I don't know exactly
why, or what I thought I was
going to do, but I got out ot bed
hastily, and started toward tbe
door.
"Here, here, where are you go
ing, Mrs. Armstrong?" At laat
I had shaken ber out ot her quiet
impersonality.
"Don't touch me. Don't touch
me. I'm going to my husband.
I'm not going to stay here a min
ute longer. I can'l understatnd
why you're all In league against
me. I'm going, I tell you, I'm
going." I jerked myself away
from her restraining hands.
Tomorrow: Tho Valley of the
Shadow.
