' She bent over, looking massive 'as-an elephant from Katherine's perspective, and began hauling frier up, pulling her by the shoul ,.';ders. "Are you hurt?" " "I can't tell." ' ' "'I don't know how you jumped ;that way. You must have pushed l,yourself completely out over me. you were already past before I could. catch you." ,s;-Katherine said, "I didn't push." It cost her dearly ! to speak. Aunt Millicent had rolled heT around onto her back, and gotten her up now into a sitting position. - . - - . "Can you stand up?' "No." "You'll be all right. You don't have any broken bones." ftne rjegan hauling her up again, and Katherine allowed hlfrself to be hauled. ' She ' was thinking: I didn't push myself. I.just let go and slid off. the foot, Auht Millicent must have stepped back or done something. She didn't even try to catch me as i ieii. - . Aunt Miuicent kept an arm around her waist," supporting ; ner, Dracing ner up; and when they tried to take a step they .almost ieii logemer. "I can't walk." "V "Of course yoii can. darline, We've got to get you insida the house out of this rain, i I'm soaked; myself,- by now." Her soaking did-not, however, seem io uave uampenea her spirits, She went on talkine loudly. ruthlessly, as she led Katharine toward the windows:' "Look at you! jusi iook at you! What on earth have you' been doing with yourself? We've been worried to death about you. Why didn t you come to dinner, darling?" "I was up on the roof." ' ; "But why didn t you answer when all of us called to you?" I was asleep." "Asleep in" that rainstorm?" "Yes." - ' - : "But how did you get up there in the' first place? What were you doing on the. roof?" It was the question Katherine had waited for and dreaded.' Luckily Aunt Millieent's atten tion 'was distracted from her question. She said,' "Oh! That White rug! Here, We'll have to dp something with you1 before you -go inside." Aunt Millicent stood under the1 overhang of the window, shel tered from the rain, facing Kath lerine, and began to fumble withj the buttons down - the front of thfe dress. When they were- all1 undone she - said, "Now the; shoes." :: She pulled the dress off over Katherine's head, shook it out in the' rain, and- wadded- it up into a dripping bundle. Katherine sat down on the cold step- -hard as ice through her ttunj-wet prints and began untying her i shoe laces.' Her feet ached when she tried -to pull them out; she shifted the angle'' of one -shoe, and eased it oft) .then she tried the otner.t. ?My feet hurt." ' "Come on. You'll be better when we got you dried off. you'd better take a bath, too -but get yourself dry. Drat."' She started on Into the .living room aft Kath erine Blood up, holding her soggy shoes and socks In her 'hands; and then, apparently noticing a peculiarity for the first time, hel said, "Where are your glasses? ' "I broke them." r "How, did you do that?"" i "They just fell off my rios'e." "Where?" "In the ... on the roof." "Well?- Where are they now? Don't you have them?" "No they fell down . . . down here ... I couldn't see where. I can't see very much without them."- Aunt Milicont turned back to the windows. She stuck her head out into- the rain again, turning it slowly back and forth like a searchlight. ' Then she safd, "They're not out there-now." She led the way across the living room toward the hall; Katherine, trailing painfully be hind her; squinted around the room: all the lights were on: empty coffee cups stood on the tables; the cushion in the chair by the window was flattened, but Paul was not there. - ,,' Aunt Millicent had gone on into her bedroom, and Katherine followed her. Aunt Millicent tossed' the wet dress in onto the Boot of her closet, and then went over to the bed and began pull ing the spread down to the foot. ane sam. "now come over here and lie down."- Katherine lay down on her back and felt her head sink gently, softly into the jacket 3pread over the pillow. It seemed to her to be incredibly luxurious, comfortable beyond anything she had ever dreamed of. She floated on a wave of pure happy senga-1 Hon, - feeling the mattress give under her legs and back, feeling everything dry and warm around her. - ; '; : . Aunt Millicent had gone Into the bathroom to get the, towel. Katherine closed her' eyes for a moment. .'..,. , . And jdst then' she heard Aunt Millieent's voice, quite close to her,' saying ' softly,' "Are you asleep, darling" : "No." She thdught to herself: It's taken her a long time to get a' towel. And then-she thought: I odght to open my eyes and sit up! She made the effort; she opened her eyes and looked around, ber. Aunt Millicent was.' standing at one side of the bed. and" Paul "was-standing at the other.- -'.' " ' (To B Continued) J)T OUT OUR WAY " By J. It Wllllum U ......
