It vis not easy to stumble, un wittingly, upon the sort of scene that Jackie came upon several day after her arrival. Roger had been improving steadily, if very slowly, so that now the crisis had passed. He had suffered a severe head wound, a double-fractured arm and a bad ankle, but there seemed no ques tion as to his full recovery. He was still extremely weak; it would take weeks before he would be strong again; the shock alone was not one from which he could recover rapidly. He was able to talk a little now, though not allowed to overtax his strength. He could be propped up on pillows for a short while each day. Jackie and Beryl usually took turns now visiting him, chat ting cheerfully and impersonally is orders still remained that he was not to be excited reading aloud, or just sitting in the room while he dozed. The morning of this particular day, Jackie had spent with him. She planned to write a few let ters in the afternoon, while Beryl was at the hospital. 'I'll stay until you come. Beryl said, in parting.. "Don't feel that you have to hurry, Jackie. Take time to do a few things for your self today. You should, now that Roger is Improving so much." "I will," Jackie said. "Isn't It grand that he's coming along so well? He seemed so much more like himself this morning. I won der how long it will be, Beryl, be fore Roger can leave the sospi tal?" She would like some defi nite news to write her mother. Oh! the world was a grand place, now that Roger was going to be all right, Jackie felt more like herself, too; her heart was light again, with relief and joy and gratitude. Beryl said, "I am going to have a conference with Dr. Watson to day. Then we ought to know pretty definitely how much longer it is going to take for Roger to mend. Though what counts is the fact that he will get well. You know, Jackie," her lovely dark eyes grew sober, "if he hadn't if anything serious had happened to Roger 1 I should have blamed myself for It I should never have forgiven myself never!" This was the first time Beryl had let anyone glimpse through her carefully guarded reserve. FLAPPER FANNY By Sylvia I i COER. till BY OTA ItltVlCf. M& T. M. REQ. U. f AT.

I can't help it," Beryl said, and for another brief moment, her eyes again betrayed her secret. Then she smiled, adding in her usual quiet manner, "But how foolish to talk this way even! Now that we know Roger will be all right- ana are so thankful." She said goodby once more and went on her way. Jackie was feeling entirely made-over, late that afternoon, as she mounted the steps to the hos pital. She felt a singing sort of happiness deep within her, as she had not felt since that dreadful day when Roger's ship had crashed down from the skies. For the first time the long nar row hallways of the hospital failed to subdue and sadden her with their gloomy silence. She hurried towards Roger's door, at the far end, not dreading now what she would meet within these walls, but walking lightly, firmly with quick, confident steps, and actu ally daring to hum a gay little tune underneath her breath! Soon now, Roger would be well again; he would leave this place forever. He would grow strong and brown and whole. All that had been would be as though it had never happened, this terrible accident, these anxious days of waiting and worrying even all that had gone before that. For when Roger was entirely well Jackie would tell him that all that had been between them had not been make-believe, pre. tense; she would tell him that their trial engagement could be a true one, if he wanted it to be. She would let him see how much she loved him. She would even tell him, if necessary! She would be proud to tell him, glad . . . Now at his door she slackened her steps, curbing their eagerness, The door was slightly ajar; she would push it open gently and sur prise Roger and Beryl. She had brought a surprise, too, purchased on her way; a lovely, colorful bunch of spring flowers, gay as the warm sunshine streaming in through the window, playing on Roger's narrow, high white bed. He was propped up, ever so slightly, against his pillows. But he did not see Jackie in the door way. His eyes were on Beryl, who knelt at his side, her beautiful dark eyes fixed on his, their ex pression again unguarded, with out reserve. She leaned forward now and caught Roger's free hand in hers. She pressed It swiftly, with Infinite tenderness and pas sion, to her lips, then lay her head down, her shoulders shaking with long-drawn sobs. Jackie did not wait to see more. She turned and walked quietly down the long silent hallway a gain, the flowers stilled clasped in her arms. (To Be Continued ) tyj-Vif sign those letters for me, Miss Priss.
