IP BILL KNEW
CHAPTER VII I
For a long moment, after Su
zanne's Inst words left her lips,
they didn't quite sink in. The
small girl with red hair, hud
dled on the sofai didn't quite un
derstand the enormity of what
she had heard until Suzanne was
reaching for tho doorknon,
Suzanne had accomplished
what she set out to do!
"Give me a chance to get him
back," she had cried.
"Oh, Bill," Martha wept storm
Ily, "Bill, why did they ever draft
you? You never should have
gone away from me. Never."
The next morning in the of
fice, It was as if everything had
changed. The sunny room was
bleak, the shadows cast by the
Venetian blinds seemed like burs.
The office was a cage. She
couldn't voti wouldn't dare -go
to him with a lie like that!"
"Lie? I wouldn't He. There's
no need. It's true that Paul's In
love with you, and that you've
been seeing him every night,
even after I refused to come
along and play chaperone."
Maltha's mouth was dry, a lit
tle pulse hammered In her
throat. "But I didn't mean any
thingIt was Innocent and Bill
(rusts Paul - You can't do this!
You can't come Into our lives
and-"
"I didn't say I would," Suzanne
told her evenly. "I merely said
that If wouldn't be very nice if
someone did."
Then, as If Martha's shock and
misery had gotten through to
her, she leaned Impulsively over
her. "Look, darling, I know you.
And I know Paul. He's held him
self In leash, he's suffered but lie
hasn't made love to you. The
only thing I'm asking Is that you
look the facts in the face. Quit
seeing him."
Once more her voice vlbratcd'j
with passion, "filve me a chance
to get him back!"
When the door closed behind
Suzanne, she left ruin behind.
The world of simple friendship,
of trusting and uneonpllcatetl
companionship which had sprunc
up- between- Martha and Paul,
since that day she told him, "I'm
going to' marry Bill; But can't
we he friends-?" was wrecked for
ever. Never again could she he so
casually cool with him. Never
nnnln could she laugh, and talk
and danee with him and remain
blind to the truth she had not
seen before- that ho loved her.
I.oved her enough to torture him
self endlessly by seeing her witli
Bill, by visiting in the apart
ment where she lived as Hill's
wife.
"Waif a minute, Suzanne!" She ouht l0 iPaVp it. Never see
ran to her. "What do you mean. , pall) aRain, not even here. But
someone might tell Bill? Oh, you ;now sne needed her lob.
When Paul ccr-o in, she
couldn't help the little tautness
that went over her. She couldn't
help looking at him In a way she
had never looked at him before.
As always, there was a pipe in
his mouth. As always, he bid her
;a cheerful good moraine. She an
swered almost Inaudlblv, and
bent her head low over the type
writer as he went Into the pri
vate office.
Through the long morning, she
couldn't seem lo stop looking at
him. With that awful fascina
tion, that suddenly clear and
penetrating gaze. As If she had
never seen him before, exactly
us he was.
He had discarded his coat. In
shirtsleeves, he worked at the
board iri his office, the door
open. His shoulders were broad

Could it be that for Paul there

thing that was dead! He should

But Martha knew, achinclv.

and duty, had directed that

Practical considerations would
have directed that Paul, with
money of his own and a fine po
