I "LOVE i r I DARE NOT By ALLEN E CURLISS CHAPTER XXI Caroline was disliking Tommy in tensely now with ier eyes. She an swered, speaking! quite distinctly, "I have thought otf that, of course. But if I did marfy Alec, it would not be to further tny career." "No, I suppose not. I imagine you are the sort of pjerson who would feel they had to rharry for love or not at all." j "While you," said Caroline, and now her voice wis frigidly sweet, "would probably j marry for any number of things ... money, for instance." Tommy's face bpcame a slow, an gry -red. So that was what she thought. That hej wanted to get a soft berth for himself . . . that he was running around with Roxanne because of her money. ... He asked, evenfy, "Just what do you mean by thjtt; eracki She smiled at him coldly. "Noth Ing at all. Only everyone knows that Roxanne Talbot Ss lilthy rich and I. understand engineering isn't so hot right now." "Listen," said "fommy, smiling at her contemptuously, "hasn't this gone about far enough? After all, there's no reason jwhy we should sit here and hurl insults at each other. "For that matter," said Caroline, her voice carefully controlled, "there s no reason why we should Bit here at all. Let a leave." . "But you haven't had your din ner." t "I'm getting used to. not having any dinner when I am with you ' Suddenly they were both laughing iielpIessJy. And paving begun to laugh, they couldn't seem to stop So they kept on. For no reason at a!L Except that they; were both re membering that the only other time he had taken her to dinner she had gone home without it That it was rood to be done with quarreling. That it was good to sit there and be done with anger and look at each other and laugh. 1 But presently they stopped" and Tommy leaned toward her and said abruptly, "See here, do you, or don't you. want to go on to this benefit Alee spoke about?! "No," said Caroline, meeting his eyes directly, her! voice breathless nd light, "I don'tT ' "I didnt think you did." said Tommy. And he thought, "I am probably quite mad, but I have to spend this evening alone with her. ... Ill never chisel on Alee again, but for a few hours tonight I have to talk with her and touch her and be alone with her. ... I shaU be very careful not to make love to her. . ." I Tommy asked, "Sure you're not cold?" i Caroline shook her head. She had never been less cold in her lif e. Nor more happy. Except that other 4V : Z av a, V . evil . a tune in ine laxicaoj 4 nag ami sne had thought it would last. That H would go on and oa forever. This time she knew it wouldn't. Presently he would leave her land go back to his own hie. That life about which she knew so little. But for the moment they were to gether. I( was a strange place to be, she supposed. Alone on the top of a Fifth Avenue bus in the midst of a drifting March snowstorm. She still didn't know' quite how it had happened. Tommy had said, -"My place is out; so is Gina's. Let's blow ourselves to a nice long buss ride." She thought now that he probably hadn't wanted to be alone with her in either his apartment or Gina's. Yet they were more alone up here on the top of this bus, in the white beauty of this snowstorm, than they would ever have been inside the four walls of any room. - For some time now, Caroline had stopped thinking. She knew that presently she would begin to think again and she would be humiliated and ashamed, very likely, to think she had let him see how easily he could twist her about to please him self. If she had any pride she wouldn't be here but she didn't have any pride. Not where he was concerned. She hadn't had since that first day. . . .;She had let him eee then how much she cared, and what had happened? He had walked off and left her. Well, he would walk off again. She knew that now. He had made it plain enough, but for 1 the moment it didn't matter. For the moment nothing "mattered very much except that his arm was about her shoulders, that his fingers, warm and hard and vibrant, were crushed about her bare wrist where he had pushed down her soft suede glove. It was good to be close to him like this, it eased for a little while that dull ache in her heart. She could even, by shutting her mind hard on tomorrow and all the days after to- feel warm and gay and morrow, happy. For some time now, because he did not dare be long silent, Tom my had been talking. lie had told her about his life in South America and how much he disliked his pres ent job and how anxious he was to get out of New York and back to mining air a in. As their bus rumbled out of the brightness : of Madison Square, he said, "I'm twenty-four and I can't afford to be wasting time like this. Every year counts, and I ought to be getting somewhere in my pro fession and not just marking time in a New York office. -I was a fool, of course, to leave the job in South America. I was in line for some de cent promotions. Now 111 have to begin all over again with a new out fit, but I'm only asking for the chance." Caroline frowned a little. "Then the way yoo have your life planned, you will never be able to live for very long in New York?" "That's right. I may get back here every three years or so for a couple of months, but that's all. All these jobs are let out on three-year contracts, and most of them are at the ends of the earth. There's a pos sibility right now that a company may open up a gold mine up near Timmins in a month or so. If they do, I'm hoping to go along." Caroline, who did not know where Timmins was but thought it sound ed much too remote, moved closer to him. "You sound very eager about it. I don t think I had realized be fore how much your profession meant to you. , But then I know very little about yoUt really. Except that I like to be with you." - "I like to be with you, too ... but I guess you know that." "No," said i Caroline, "I don't." Then she added, "And that can't be true because you almost never are," "I thought, said Tommy, making his voice perfectly impersonal, "that we went over that once before" "We did," agreed Caroline swiTt- Iy, "and I'm not going to embarrass i you by bringing it up agsjn." Then I she said, and now her voice was quite as detached and unemotional as his, "How is this girl you spend so much of your time with going to like the sort of life you will be able to offer her?" "If you mean Roxanne, and I sup pose you do, I am not going to offer her any sort of life. I thought you understood that. I thought you understood that marriage was defi nitely out for me ... at least,' for years. . ." "No, I don't think I did under stand that," said Caroline slowly. "Well," said Tommy, "you do now." "You mean that girls simply don't figure seriously in your life?" 5 Tommy laughed briefly. "Some thing like that. For the time being, at least, it's a case of love them and leave them as far as I am con cerned." There was a little silence, during which the snow continued to fall lightly, rimming the edge of the vacant seat in front of them, rim ming the brim of Tommy's hat where it was pulled low over his eyes. It was Tommy who spoke first. "I suppose that makes you dislike me quite a lot. doesn't it?" "I don't know ... I suppose it should, but it doesn't seem to." Tommy knew that if he looked at jher, she would be frowning intent ly; he knew she was trying to figure things out and that she Wasn't get ting much of anywhere. I He said; "Well, it shouldn't worry you one way or the other ... you're all set with Alec. He's mad about you and he's a swell guy and worth two of me any day in the week." I "Meaning, I suppose," said Caro line levelly, "that Alec would never love me and leave me, and that you would." ! "Yes," said Tommy, "meaning just that. . . ." j Then she lifted her face to him, and quite without warning his arms went around her and he pressed his mouth hard against hers. They kissed with the snow beating white ly against their shoulders, with their arms pressed hard about each other. I It, was Caroline who finally took her lips away. It was Caroline who looked at him, her eyes darkly ashamed and tormented. She said, fl'm sorry. Tommy, but if we aren't going to do anything about each other, I think we'd better not kiss like that again." j Tommy stared at her wretchedly, his mouth still shaken from the sweetness of ber kiss. He wanted to say, "But we are going to do some thing about each other ... we kav to, don't you see?" 1 : t But there was Alec, and I he couldn't. So he said instead, "You're right about that, probably. But it's one of the things you don't atop to ngure out. Besides, there is some thing about a girl and a snowstorm . . . forgive it, will you?" .. - "There is nothing to forgive. It was as much my fault as yours." She turned her face toward him and there was a look in her eyes and about her mouth that he had never seen before on any woman's face ... it seemed to give him everything and then, take it away again. She smiled at him, and his heart broke in two. He had never known a smile like that before ... at once so burningly sweet and yet so lost and desolate. (To be continued) !

The Lacomb pool, near Leban on, last year went to C. B. Spen cer at Albany for 7 cents a pound. Strawberries, which went even higher than that last year, are expected to be under the phe nomenal prices paid growers last year and so far this season no re port has ben evident of more than the 5-cent guarantee per pound offered growers some months ago. Berry acreages and strawber ries particularly show a large In crease over last year with indi- cations now oeing iui the, increase will go in the frozen pack and the canned strawberry production will be held to about the 1937 output. Strawberry harvest, the first big operation for local plants, is expected to get under way the sec ond week in June, prolonged i x 1 J I 4 . tinUlnv ViOtlr ralUS VUU CUIU 1115 ma uuiumj uv.n the season opening from the May 25 date some predicted earlier.
