He was still shamed remembering how he had tried to push away the tending hands, how tie Had cursed when too weak to oppose them. Until a haggard factd doctor had olitcurscd him into silence. "You're my Job, don't make it. any harder." .Cold sobering fact. He was sane after that and numb with despair. That was when he turned In upon himself, his an aloneness none could share. There was one nurse with level brows and deep dark eyes like Thayer's: He watched her a great deal and once he said, "There Is nothing about me worth all this trouble you're taking." Not know ing what he wanted her to an swer, yet somehow tensed, wait- Wltti her too-loud laugh all re aarhblance to Thayer vanished. Sh said, "Fishing for compli ments, Captain?" and he felt heat pour into his face and a sort of sick shame surge through him. It was that night, lying sleepless in the dark, that the horror of com ing home to Thayer like this first gripped him. He longed for her unutterably-, yet the thought of returning to . her a cripple seemed beyond his strength to face, Every recollection of their hours to gether was sweet because of their Jpy ih life and movement.

He tried to walk to her and could not; he was falling. ... A nurse wakened him when he cried out. The months passed, teaching him endurance if nothing else. The stump of his leg was not yet healed enough to bear an artifi cial limb but that he hud any leg at all was considered a minor miracle. At lust he camo home. . . TTE would never forget his first sight of her at tho airport, for she was standing straight and tall us In his dream. It made every thing go giddy. If her hands were clenched. . . . But he never knew, for they had all reached him by then. Nothing kept him going but necessity. The sight of the little room his mother had fixed up nearly broke him with relief, for his heart had seemed to stop at tho foot of that long staircase. To have Thayer see. ... But when Thayer had come Into the room with him and they were alone, he had felt his whole body strung taut with longing for her. He was afraid to look at her, afraid to touch her, for first he had promised himself this he must know how she felt. Only how to put It Into words. It seemed ho must hurt her, goad her Into expression of the real foellhg that lay so deeply guarded behind her dark eyes. Yet it was his undoing, because hurting her had hurt him so much more. She had struck through every defenso when Bhe said, "Brock, have yo,u forgotten Drumhead HIM?" Becuuso he hud forgotten, and romembrunee smote him, sharp and poignant. She was standing there sd close and suddenly his arms went about her waist without volition, his face was against her and he was crying, who in all these months had shed no tears. He felt the warmth of her body through her clothing; he felt her hands on his hair, against his checks'. He wanted tn seize them, press his Deeds Filed Ulrich. Lottos, by trustee,- to Lee II.

It was the old imperative din ner gong which had saved him from a complete emotional break up. What hod it meant to Thayer? Was she relieved? It had come between them like a presence. She had made an excuse, gotten away. When she returned she was poised, sure of herself. His un spoken questioning, like a trapped thing, ran round and round in a pit of silence. "TTELLO!" The words breaking xl- across his thought startled Brock. Moya came around tho Conner of the house, wind blowing her hair. She said, f'Your mother said you were out here," and dropped Into a chair beside his. "How brown you're getting, Brock. Don't you love a day like this?" To herself she was think ing, Will he ever look as he used to? It's his eyes, and his mouth they are so different. , She could not remember when she hadn't been In love with Brock. He was simply part of her life's plan; no other boy inter ested her. He had been difficult at times but she had entertained no fear of real rivalry. Between their two families their ultin.te marriage was an accepted fact. His meeting with Thayer and its consequence had rocked to its foundations the security Moya had looked upon as fact. She had seen, though vaguely understood, the change in Brock. At first he had seemed hard, then she noticed his eager reaching toward the old, the familiar;, like a child seeking the sure safety of tile commonplace. Slowly it be came clear. Thayer his winning of her and his brief marriage represented a pinnacle Brock had reached. It was somehow apart from tho ordered life of Daverton to which ho now returned. , That old life could claim him, again; Moya felt sure of it. Thayer was an outsider; only those Who loved him best could rebuild life for Brock uguln. Mrs. Kittridge knew this. More than once she and Muya had looked at each other wordlessly over Brock's head. It's my turn now, Moya thought. Ye, my turn. (To Be Continued) Send for your cupy ol the new spring issue of Fashion Just off the press. Book full of smart, up-to-the-minute styles. 15 cents.
