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.

Jackie was surprised and moved.
rou must not feel that way," she
said. "It wouldn't have been your
fault. Beryl." Of course she knew
why Beryl felt that way; it was
because she loved Roger.
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.
