B- BOCK got his artificial leg In
the late summer. 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.

rPHE whole thing kept running
through her mind today as she
watched Brock's unrest. 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."

THE
JTOIl an instant there was tho
stillness preceding movement,
then wordlessly she stepped out
and walked around the car to re
appear at his side. 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.
