CHAPTER 49
INTO A NEW LIFE
Carol sighed from time to time as
the packed away Into gaping trunks
the lovely frilly things sne had se
lected with such eager pleasure on
her shopping tour in New York.
Her trousseau I And here she was,
already married and all the dainty
frocks were being crushed and
Jammed away out of sight and
heaven alone knew when she would
have a chance to wear them.
Did any other girl ever have
such a aueer marriage as this? 6 he
shook her head sadly as her eyes
roamed over the well-loved little
room with the fragile yellow furni
ture and daffodil curtains, and
great tear fell unheeded on the bit
of lace and fluff in her hands. How
hard it was going to be to leave this
snug little house that had been the
h an Dies t home she had ever Known!
Magnolia she might never see her
lriend again, for Magnolia was go
ing away to Prance. Carol picked
up a photograph that stood on her
dressing table and gazed at It long
and searchingly. It was a picture
of Magnolia In her Red Cross uni
form and she had given it to the
girl one day, months before when
Carol had begged lor it.
The fine, dark eyes looked straight
Into those of the girl as she sank to
the floor, the picture clasped tightly
to her breast.
Oh, Magnolia, dear." Carol mur
mured toftly, "how am I ever going
to bear losing you?"
Footsteps on the stairs roused
her and she hastily thrust the pho
tograph into ono of the trunks and
went on with her packing.
"You bout done. Miss Carrie?'
Maria put her ebony face in the
door and rolled her eyes in wonaer.
"Good land, what yo' goin to do
with all them dresses?"
Carol shook her head ruefully.
"That's what I'd like to know,
Maria," she replied.
"What I came up here to tell you."
continued the servant, "the
'spressman U goin' t be here in a
half hour, so yo' better be gittin'
on yo' job.
"111 be ready in no time, Maria,"
Raid Carol, stuffing another arm
ful of clothing into a trunk.
Black Maria loitered and Carol
knew the colored woman was burst
ing with Important news that she
ached to divulge, but she did not
. encourage her. Finally Maria hurled
the bombshell.
"Miss Carrie,' she burst out,
"would you 'magine Miss Magnolia
was losin her mind?"
Carol looked up In surprise.
"Why, Maria!" she exclaimed.
"What makes you ask such a ques
tion?" "Well," said the servant, stub
bornly, "when a woman suddenly
'nounces she's a-goin t' move over
there 'cross the ocean for good,
seems like they '3 some thin' loose,
fomewheres."
Carol laughed at this.
" Taint no laughln matter, Miss
Carrie," Maria insisted dismally.
"She done tol' me she's a-goin' t'
take me with her, too."
"Don't you want to go, Maria?"
Carol asked her. "I should think
you'd be thrilled."
Black Maria glared at the girl.
"Who, me?" she demanded. "Miss
Carrie, I asks you, does I look fool
ish. Does I want t' be messin'
aroun' with a pack o' them foreigners
a lot o' them Frcnchies?" She
shrugged her shoulders and utter
disgust was written In every line of
her heavy features. "Well, I should
say not!"
"Then you're not going with Miss
Magnolia?" Carol atked, her eyes
twinkling with amusement. She
had listened to many of these tir
ades of the colored woman against
her mistress and she knew that
Maria was but putty In the hands
of Magnolia, therefore she was not
alarmed nt Maria's outburst. "Are
you going to let Miss Magnolia go
away all alone?" she went on.
"CCse not. Cerfnly I'm' goin'
with her," the servant replied with
gusto. "But It's a terrible thing to
ask a woman v my age to do
terrible thing. An' If it was any
body else but Miss Magnolia. I'd
tell 'em where they could go to
quick enough, believe mel"
Carol laughed as the woman
stamped out of the room, muttering
to herself, and she hurriedly went
on with her packing. Soon every
trunk was closed and locked and
the little room wore a bare, unten
anted look. When the two husky
expressmen carried her possessions
out of the bouse, Carol hid in the
dining-room until they had gone,
her heart In an agony of aching
misery. Magnolia found her there
and she took the girl in her arms
and held her close.
"Caroline, dear little Caroline,"
she whispered softly, "does it mean
so much to you?"
Carol sobbed, unrestrainedly.
"It's you. Magnolia, (" she cried.
"You mean everything to me. I"
"But you musn't carry on so,"
the woman chlded. "You're not los
ing me, you fooltth child. You'll be
running over to see me often. Craw
ford will be taking you abroad at
least twice a year. Now, Caroline."
she wiped the tears from the girl's
eyes and patter her cheeks gently,
"now, Caroline, buck up or you'll
have me weeping, too. You, mustn't
go to Crawford with your eyes all
red. Come now, that's a good girl."
With an effort Carol tocfc herself
In hand and when, a few minutes
later, the great limousine called for
her, her composure had returned
and she entered the car sedately,
her face calm and expressionless. A
bystander would have noticed noth
ing but a well dressed, rather
haughty young woman entering her
car with an air that bespoke years
of wealth, of long -accustomed ease
and the luxury . of a well-padded,
unworried existence.
Carol Teller, child of poverty, the
plaything of destiny, gazed stead
fastly ahead, into the new lire that
lay before her and she wondered
what the future would bring.
Carol adjusted herself to her new
life In the big Beacon street house
with an ease that might have as
tonished those who had known her
back in the old days in Wycherly.
If she felt the slightest pang of
homesickness for the happy exist
ence she had foresaken when she
became Sumner's wife, she showed
not a trace of this and the entire
household, from Mrs. Cummines. the
housekeeper, down to the lowliest
scullery maid became her adoring
slaves before she had been in the
house twenty-four hours. I
Crawford Sumner was now enjoy
ing a period of convalescence and
Carol's presence In the house seem
ed to lift him out of himself and
his good spirits encouraged Dr.
Buckly who still called every day.
"That's all you need. Sumner." he
told the patient ono morning, "a
nuie 01 the toy 01 living will go fur
ther to get you back on your feet
than all the doctors and drugs In
tne world.
Sumner grinned a bit self-con
sciously.
mere's tne best doctor I ever
had," he said, nodding In the direc
tion of Carol who leaned against the
cushions 01 the wide window scat.
The physician's eyes twinkled at
uumner.
"No doubt about It " he azreed.
"And a mighty fine little lady she
Is, too. Wouldn't mind being sick
myseii 11 . thought she d come and
take care of me."
When Dr. Buckley departed Carol
picked up a book to resume reading
aloud to Sumner as was her custom
every morning.
'Don't read Just now, Carol,'
