Born of the Storm
By SIDNEY B. CARTER
Chapter 18
Prisctlla lay awake for a long
time that night, thinking about the
peculiar situation in which she
found hersell. She was having one
man's baby and she was beyond
all doubt, in love with another man
6he admitted that now.
Priscilla was still awake when
Kenneth came heavily up the stairs
and lurched into the loom. He
fumbled for the light switch, fin
ally found it, and switched it on
full In Priscilla's face. She b inked,
blind and helpless as a kitten.
Kenneth came and stood over her.
"I seen you this afternoon with
James," he growled. "An' I know
what you was up to tonight, uet
up!" He began to call her names.
Priscilla sat up on the side ol
the bed and began to grope Tor
her bedroom slippers, the foolish
pink ones she had had when she
was first married. She could not
find them. Her eyes were not yet
used to the light ...
"Get up, I tell you!" shouted
Kenneth and with that he put his
powerful hands cruelly on her arms.
Jerking her to her feet. The next
few minutes, before unconscious
ness came, were a blur to Priscilla
She heard Kenneth say somethinp
about "no wile of mine . . . gonna
run around mcetin' men on the
street ... no better than a street
walker ... bet it ain't my baby ..."
And then a blinding, ripping pain
as his big fist hit her full in the
face.
For what seemed hours she lay
writhing on the floor, but when
she finally regained consciousness,
she wasn't in the Kent home any
more. She was between cool sheets
A white-capped nurse was bending
over her anxiously. Priscilla was
alive , . . barely . . . but the baby?
It was not until several days later
that she received a reply and by
that time she knew without bein6
told. The baby was dead.
For two weeks Priscilla lay in
her hospital bed, so ill that she
scarcely knew what was happen
ing She was conscious of one
fact only. Her baby a little boy
had been born prematurely and
had died.
The day Priscilla was ready to
leave the hospital, vioia ana uaniei
came to take her to the Hayrien
home. Their- faces were troubled
and Viola watched Priscilla anxious
ly while Daniel carried her out to
the car. As they started off, no
one said anything and Priscilla
was left to her thoughts.
"Where is Kenneth?" She could
not help asking. To her surprise
Daniel answered, instead of Viola.
He spoke grimly.
"He's gone," said Daniel. "We
don't know where he went, but
we know why. A man can't mis
treat his wife like that and gel.
away with It In this town. I'm so
ashamed of him I can't fnce peo-
f)Ie. My own brother doing a
hing like thatl"
"The police came for Kenneth,"
Viola was saying, "but it was too
late. I guess when he realized
what he had done, he sobered up
pretty quick.' He left In a hurry
without taking any of his clothes."
Priscilla found that she didn't
care to discuss Kenneth any more.
It did not matter now where he
had gone or why. She simply honed
that he wouldn't come back. She
was tired, so tired that she wanted
only to crawl into hev bed at home
and know that her father was
there In the house, Then she would
be safe.
"Where Is Dad?" she askpri
"Did he have a lot of work to do
and couldn't come after me?"
The silence lasted so long thn t
he turned to look at Viola. Vi
ola's lips were moving as If she
were trying to frame words, or
perhaps saying a small prayer.
"Priscilla," said Viola flnallv.
"Your father hasn't been well for
some time and ..." It was not
necessary for her to continue. Pris
cilla knew. She did not erv. Even
after Daniel and Viola had tnkon
her up to her room and loft her
there alone, she did not cry.
Little Drusle, when she brought
milk and crackers tor Priscilla'.'
lunch, exclaimed, "Prls. please eat.
You haven't had a mouthful since
you came home yesterday after
noon. Plense, Prls."
"Come here, darling, and let me
kiss you," sluhed Priscilla, She

sat up and took the milk and crack
ers quite docilely. But when she
tried to stand on her feet, the
room seemed to sway with her and
she felt unsteadily for the bed,
"I don't know why I m so weak,"
she complained as she fell back
on her pillow. "I guess I'd better
sleep some more." She heard Drusle
slip out of the room and shut the
door quietly. A few minutes later
she heard Gertrude's voice outside
in the hall.
I came over as soon as I could,"
said Gertrude.
"Don t open that door!" It was
her mother's voice and she spoke
sharply.
"Why not? Is she asleep 7 I'll
stay till she wakes up." .
on, no, i don't tnink you win."
Gertrude was standing her ground.
Priscilla heard her voice rise
slightly. "Just what do you mean,
Mrs. Hayden? I'm Priscilla's friend."
"Well," said Mrs. Havden. "I
don't approve of all of Priscilla's
friends and you're one I certainly
do not approve of. She's under
my roof now and she's got to do
what I say this time."
It Is your roof now. isn't it.
Mrs. Hayden?" cried Gertrude.
"Well, let me tell you something
If living here means she's going

I'm going to do everything In my

on helping her dress. Presently,
James came up too and tried to

avoided any mention of the alter
cation between Gertrude and Mrs.
Hayden. They finally persuaded
her to come down to dinner, though
they were both obviously apprehen
slve of what Mrs. Hayden might
say.
It seems to me you could have
made an effort to come downstairs
nnd help receive our friends. If
only out of respect to your father,"
smcl Mrs. Hayden tartly.
Priscilla, flushed at this unfair
rebuke, but she had no intention
of being party to any disturbance
while her lather's Body lay in the
House, and she replied quietly that
she hoped to be able to stay down
,rom now on.
