Ho still used two canes but Dr. Pelham had as sured Corinne Klttridge that in time he would learn to do without them. His face was thin, fine-drawn. There was about him a tension, the same sort of tension she ocnsed in Thayer, Only when Moya was present did that ten sion lessen in Brock. And for a long time there had been growing in Mrs. Klttridge conlirmallon of he first conviction that Brock's marriage was a bitter mistake, bearing now the fruit of Its folly. Mrs. Klttridge pictured him as trapped, That he was not mak ing a rtiore speedy recovery was tfue solely to his dilemma. Which made young Dr. Laccy's opinion most unwelcome when he paid a call cn a day the older doctor was ! .'i "There's more to this business lhan legs," he had said brusquely when Mrs. Klttridge had men tioned Brock's improvement. "They're making wonderful res torations In this war, but the real steps still have to be taken with the mind, never forget that." "Moaning?" "Physical, injury can maim mind as well as body. More so, because we can see physical in jury; tho other can so success fully be hidden. Disastrously, of course. This deeper sido Is tho job of you at home; tough job, too." "My son has every assurance of love and understanding," said Mrs. Kittrldge. . "Ho knows his mother has never failed him and will not fall him now." "The thing Is not to let him fail himself," Dr. Lacoy said shorply. "See that ho meets all the de mands life has the right to make upon him." "First we must get him well," Mil Mrs. Klttridge sold with dignity. tl'J "Then you will Ret him well," said Dr. Laccy as he took abrupt leave. Wool Purse By MRS.

It was with relief she saw Moya's car drive in and she went at once to greet her visitor. "Hello," Moya said, at ease in her knowledge of welcome. "Where's Brock? I'm running out to Corning some Auxiliary stuff. I thought he might like the ride." "Just what he needs," Mrs. Klt tridge said. Her eyes and Mpyo's mot, agreement in them and un derstanding. "It certainly appeals to me more than sitting around," Brock said, overhearing as he came in. Once in the open, some of the tension that bound the man es caped in speech. "Lord, but I'm glad you came along, Moya. I was about to . . ." Her glance slanted toward him as she drove. "I didn't drop by on impulse; I planned all day that you'd go with me." "Cool about it, aren't you?" But somehow their hands found each other's and ho felt the strong curling of her fingers around his own. They had often driven this way In the past, tho dear crazy past so without complexities. They were out of town now and the road ran by a tree covered hill. Something stabbed through Brock. Not since his re turn had he come out the Corning road past Drumhead Hill, Under a distant tree someone was stand ing. Ho only glimpsed tho figure but it was a switch thrown to set things in motion. Instantly upon the screen of his mind flashed pictures. Some emotion in him writhed and twisted, wanting to be free. There was upon him the need of more than this damned passivity that sucked at him like quicksand. His words 1 wore a command. "Stop the car, Moya." She obeyed with alacrity, turn ing to him In quick concern. "Is anything wrong?" "Let mo drive."

He had al ready slid, over into the driver's seat. His heart banged in his chest. For days he had wanted to driro a car; now he had to, so that in activity he could forget what that figure standing there on Drum head Hill had reminded him of. Of Thayer, whom he had sent from him that morning weeks ago with the cold fury of his words. He could still remember may be some day he'd forget how her face had crimsoned, then paled until her eyes were enormous. She had turned and walked away, pride in every line of her. . Two days later he had left for the hospital where he was to have further treatment and receive his leg, be Instructed in its use. . He had stayed away longer thait he heed have, rtiuch longer, but at last he had come home secure in the knowledge that he. appeared, whole again. It seemed he could never grow tired of looking at" the toes of his two shoes projecting from beneath his trouser cuffs. Two shoes two feet ... He had wanted to swagger just a little that first night of his homecoming. Thayer wis over due from the office and he stood up for 15 minutes before she ar rived so that her first sight of Him might be that way. He began to grow tired with standing. He was momentarily shocked to see how pale and tired she looked when she came. She said, "Brock you're back . . ." and came to ward him as if nothing had been wrong between them. He had been cautioned against too-swift movement; now he forgot. He never knew how it happened, how. he slipped, blundered, caugnt himself and crashed foolishly into a sitting position in a nearby chair. Thayer cried, "Oh, Brock, are you hurt?" and he was right back whore ,he had been on tho night of his Ixyiiecoming from Guadalcanal, imprisoned in a chair, looking up nt her. Nothing was changed. Nothing. (Tn Be Continued) Two Piecer By SUE BURNETT Simple and yet very distinctive is this fell-cut Iwo piecer for the slightly heavier figure.
