But Bob's mother falls 1U of an Incurable disease, and Bob decides that he and Marsha must pretend happiness until hla mother Bone. It Is Christmas time; Bob leaves December 28 to finish hla work in. Mexico. Chapter 27 PRESENTS "I want to go on with my dress ing, If you'll please leave," Marsha said distantly. Bob nodded, moved toward the door. In his own room he stood by a window fingering the heavy cord that tied back the old-fashioned hangings. The early winter dusk had shrouded the small court which in dented itself between two houses, a court that, upon the brightest days knew the sun for only a fleeting space at glaring noon. The space had depressed him as a little boy and it still could and did; the city grit which scratched under heel and that could never be quite swept away; the ivy that was both soiled and frail and that had traveled so few inches In- so many years; the sort of moist, tropic and evil looking plants that in summer, would grow in the shaded spot. Occasionally he had with a smile at himself for his own self-pity and that which he deemed, his "rather yellow habit of analogy" likener THE BEARS' SORROW By Mary Graham Bonner The dogs were rather ashamed of themselves after their fight. They became friends again, wagged their tans and tossed sucks for each oth er, and then they started a baseball game. Willy Nilly was only too ready to provide a ball for the game, and there were bats to be had, too. In the big box in which Willy Nilly kept Things Just For Pun. Top Notch, the rooster, was so upset at what had happened that he didn't know what to do. He changed from moment to moment. Now he would strut about and talk in a grand way to all the visiting creatures, and then he would go off in a corner and wonder if they would all leave before long, or if tlicy were going to stay forever. At last he had a chance to speak to Willy Nilly. "You see," he explained, "when I was around calling on all my friends I told every one what a nice place we had and that they must come and visit us. I had no idea they would nil decide to come right away an that every one of them from every barnyard where I had been would come. I'm afraid I said too many nice things about Fuddle Muddle." Willy Nilly understood how Top Notch had boasted, and ho was glad, of course, that the rooster was so proud of his home. But certainly this crowd had overdone It to say the least. "I'll just have to tell them that they must go home," said Top Notch, "but I'm ashamed to do that." At that moment there came growls from the bears. "This Is too mucin" they growl ed.

He had worked steadily, sometimes grind ingly, since his college days and the moments of sun had been short and few. Then Marsha had come and he had felt his "court days" were done and he had gone almost mad from happiness . , , and then the clouds had so thickened that the court, in contrast, seemed bright. He had lost Marsha. He would lose his mother, and he must walk the rest of the way alone; his the ill-luck to be a one-woman man. "Going weak again," he said un derbreath and sharply. He saw self pity as the most sapping of all evil habits; a destructive habit which laid low hope and usefulness. He must not let himself go that way, he reminded. Turning, he heard a light tap on his door. His "Come in, please," was answered by Marsha s pushing the door open. She crossed the room. "If it will make you happier," she said, and as if she had learned her message word by word, I'll take your money. But I don t need it." "I thought for cigarettes and things " "I'm not smoking much; your mother thinks I 6moked rather too much." "But you were so dependent' "No. I have other things now. I don't miss smoking," she broke In to say: "but if you'd rather I took your money, I'll take it." "You've been so wonderfully good,' he said, "and kindl" "No, really I have not!" "Don't you think I should engage a nurse-companion before I leave? I've thought it would be too much for you; the constant strain. You should set out." "No, please don't. I like it this way. I d much rather you dldn t im port anyone else. We get along beau tifully. Bob" "My dear?" he murmured. He could not help that nor did he want to; in this role she was perfect and he was certain that she did not pre tend in it. "I wanted you to see what I have for your mother . . . Christinas, you know . . . and we'll have to give each t other things, you know, be cause' of her." "Yes, I have your present. You needn't hint any morel" She laughed a trifle unsteadily. His banter had carried her swiftly to the dead days. "I have nothing splendid for youl" she assured him proudly. Ho followed her into her room, She brought from her closet vari ous packets; he saw, with a rise of tenderness, that she enjoyed open ing them for him. that she was as excited as a child would have been. "They're beautifully wrapped," ho said:. "It's a shame to make you open mem. 'O, but I want to! It's no trouble, I've wanted to show them to you for some time, but for some reason I rather lacked courage. I thought It might bore you. Then I thought if I took your money, you could look at my presents. I do want to know whether you think she'll like them." He started on a lavender dressing gown; he who didn't know bucram from chiffon fingered it. But people did that, he'd seen them doing it. "It's lovely!" he assured her. She said, softly, shyly, "I put things In the pockets, I thought it would surprise her." She brought forth a matching handkerchief, a little lavender bot tle of smelling salts, a small, Ivory elephant; a tiny, gold scissors, a packet of solitaire cards in a laven der leather case and from the last pocket she brought a silver chain that was studded with anethysts. He was deeply touched, but he said, as lightly as he could, "I would tli ink now that even you could use 15. Males amends 11. Voiceless consonants 16. Useful 18. East Indian wo Is lit II. Tart 26.

And I thought she'd like knowing I wanted ner to nave It, you seel He turned to her; she was looking up questlonlngly. "I'll never be able to thank you," he murmured thickly and then rather slowly he lilted one of her hands to hold It against his hps. He saw her lips tremble; he thought she said "Thank you," but later, re membcrlng mlstly, he could not be certain of that. He did remember that she had hurried on to tell him, with lips that still trembled a little, that she had, too, lor his mother an assort ment of very old-fashioned plants In small pots; that she had thought his mother would like them on a window sill, and that she had scour ed New York to find them mig nonette, and heart's-ease, hens-and-chlckens and such . . . and that she'd loved doing it. "They're sweet," she said; "Han nah has them In a corner of the pantry where she's certain your mother won't find them. I visit them each dayl And if anything happened to any one of them, I think I'd ex pire! I'll show them to you tomor row," she ended shyly, "If you have time. "I'll have time," he promised, heart swelling. He started down at her, flushed, happy, young. Where was tne girl who nod drawled. "Bob, darling old thing do get me an orchid or two, with a few valley lilies thrown in for luckl You know?" And how could this new creature have suffered Geoffrey Tarleton's soiled caresses? But she had. The dinner gong rang as he stiff ened and grew rigid from recollec tion. "Lord, and Im not even changed!" he murmured. "Could I put studs In for you?" she appealed In little above a whis per. He answered loudly, chilly, with, "I can do very well for myself, thank you." Her face changed, she grew pale; then she flushed hotly. And as he closed the door he saw that she had stood, motionless, look ing after hun. She had thought. "To have you ducki to nave you Dock; I want you so; I don't thuik I can live with out you!" Hurrying with his dressing he de clared he must, hereafter, avoid such moments when he could. Otherwise (why the devil must ties stick at the back of a collar?) he would some duy let go, sweep her Into his arms and hold her close. He would ten ner that nothing mattered but having her whom he loved, dcsolta everything she was, was not. But he must not think of that! He met Marsha at the head of the stair. "We're frightfully late!" she said with compunction. She explained breathlessly, to Mrs. Powers, that they had talked and forgotten the hour. Mrs. Powers nodded, smiled. Bob, having settled his mother, pushed a chair beneath Marsha and, leaning down and over ner, ne kissed her check. "She's quite a marvel!" he said to his mo ther. (Barthlomew's trav tilted dan gerously!) "and we know it, don't we?" Very gay," Bartholomew report ed in the kitchen, "and he's a show in' his feeling as a gentleman should and would. Quite, if you'd ask me, an hintfatuation and of the kind that will lost." "And what did he do?" asked Ella, whose cap had slid to a rakish angle.
