The Characters
Noci Mnrchand, a beautiful young
actress.
Allan Colllngs, a young man Noel
likes.
David Norrls, Noel'a wealthy aultor
Yesterday: Allan kisses Noel, but
when Elaine summons him to town
he goes immediately.
Chapter U
A Decision Made
"Let's talk of something else,
dear, I had a miserable trip and
would rather not think; of It again."
Noel, sitting with David at one
of the corner tables In an exclusive
restaurant, felt an angry flush rising
In her cheeks. She was back in New
York, with the pleasant days at
Claiborne behind her and this was
her first meeting with David since
his return yesterday from Bermuda.
He was different, somehow. She
had a feeling he was blaming her
for all the unpleasantness of his
cruiss. She felt, too, that he was
being deliberately woeful about the
whole thing. . . ,. , .
"Swanstrom expects the revised
play script from Dixon on Monday,"
David said quietly.
Noel looked at him startled.
"I was going to call him this af
ternoon. How did you know? I
should think he would have told
me first."
"Well" David's words came
slowly. "I happened to be talking
to him and he mentioned it."
That wasn't like Swanstrom, Noel
realized. So instead of phoning her
producer as soon as she left David
she took a taxi to his onice.
"I'll expect the world to come
tumbling down on my shoulders If
Dixon keeps his promise," Hwans
trom told her when she arrived.
Noel thought he would offer her
the contract then, hinted at such,
Even suggesting that if he waited
too long, some other producer
might sign her.
"I'll take that chance," Swanstrom
told her cynically. Both of them
knew there was no other vehicle
into which she might fit. But his
mood changed quickly. He talked of
her part, of how much he counted
on a long run of the other mem
bers of the cast.
David didn't call her but the next
morning a huge box of flowers was
delivered early with his neat writ'
ing inscribing the penitent message:
"Noel, my dear one, it's because
I love you so much."
David, she decided, was over hi.
peevish mood. When the mall was
brought up she found a charming
note from Mrs. Marchand:
"Allan and I are coming down to
New York for New Year's Eve. I'll
call you when I arrive," she wrote
Then she added: "I dread it so
much, as the time for his going
back to South America draws near.
Noel's spirits sank as Rhe read
that part of the letter, sne, too,
hated to think that in two weeks
Allan would be going so far away.
There was nothing important on
her list of engagements to make the
day interesting. Then she made a
sudden plan.
Using Her Head
It seemed foolish all the way
down to Pennsylvania Station, but
she bought a round-trip ticket to
Orson and learned she had only 20
minutes to wait for the train.
Sitting, staring out through the
train window, past the towns ana
fields of New Jersey, she thought
about the Impulse that had driven
her to this journey. She knew more
than she cared to admit that an'
other line In Mrs. Marchand's letter
had something to do with it.
"Elaine seems to realize she made
a mistake In not marrying Allan. I
wish they'd decide one way or an
other. I want my boy to be happy."
Elaine, Noel thought bitterly, al
ways had gotten what she wanted
And now obviously she wanted Al
lan again.
It was nearly three o'clock when
she walked tlirough the narrow
rough streets of Orson, familiar
yet so different. She stopped In
front of one house, smaller and din
gier than the rest. Almost expected,
for a brief breathless moment, to
see x familiar lace at the window.

"That's what you came from
that's what you'll go back to if you
don't use your head," she whispered
vehemently to herself. And knew
that using her head didn't mean
depending on the whims of play
wrights like Dixon, nor the uncer
tain calls from producers' offices.
In a shabby old taxi she went out
to the cemetery carrying the white
winter flowers she'd bought at the
only florist shop she could find.
While the driver waited outside the
gates, Noel laid the blossoms on two
mounds near a weatherbeaten fence.
Tears filled her eyes, and flowed
down her cheeks as she spoke to
herself.
Mother, darling, can you hear
me? You told me to watch out for
myself," sobs punctuating her spok
en thoughts, "and I will. Look what
love got you I"
Riding back to the train, Noel's
cab passed what she remembered
as the town's most Imposing resi
dence. It looked shabby now and
much smaller. Once it had seemed
like a mansion. There was no one
in Orson Noel wanted to see.
While she waited in Philadelphia
for the New York express, Noel sent
a wire to David to meet her at the
station. And on the train she tried
to eat the chicken sandwich she
ordered with a pot of hot tea. The
first bite made a lump in her throat.
She knew her decision was made!
She should be so happy 1 But the
darkness outside her window was
a winter bleakness comfortless, a
little frightening.
David, worried, rushed toward
her at the head of the steps in the
big station rotunda.
"Where have you been, darling?"
David took her arm solicitously,
waiting her answer.
"I went to see my old home."
Noel's voice sounded tired. "I need-
ed to, David." She was asking his
understanding, without further
question.
In the cab that took them into
the brightly lighted Manhattan
streets, Noel turned to David sit
ting quietly beside her. She let her
hand slide into his and marveled
at his eager acceptance of her ges
ture. "You're sweet to care about me:
David; maybe I don't deserve it."
Encouraged by her attitude he
put his arm protectively about her
shoulder. She drew away slowly
and said with regretful apology:
"I'm so tired, David. There's
been so much I had to think about."
And when they reached the hotel
she made that her excuse to leave
him.
David was substance, security
all the rest, make-believe and un
certainty.
'Practically Cured
Next morning a note came by
messenger from David:
"I woke up with a beastly cold,
and a temperature " Davtd wrote.
Noel called David's apartment.
His servant answered and told her
Mr. Norrls was in bed. The doctor
was returning before luncheon.
"Ask him If he'd like me to drop
over and see him, Josephs," Noel
said impulsively.
When Josephs came back to the
telephone, he reported:
