Born of the Storm
By SIDNEY B. CARTER
Chapter 23
Tom stood In the doorway. "Tele
phone lor Mrs. Kent," he announ
ced. .. , ,
"Thank you, Tom," said Prls
chla. The ringing ol the telephone
seemed like a warning of some kind.
The old familiar numbness began
to- spread itself around her heart
as she walked to the telephone and
widened with every word as she
listened and talked.
"Hello," she said. "Yes, Viola . .
rfarling, what is it? I can't under.
'I'm sorry to have to call you.'
said Viola, her voice jagged with
nerves, "but Kenneth's been brought
home."
i."Brouf!ht home?" exclaimed Pris
cilla Her mind broke up into a
thousand jig-saw pieces. Perhaps
. perhaps Kenneth was dead. But
XWla went on inuting.
."Yes Priscilla. He's . . .he's
paralyzed." Viola stopped, but Pris
cilla didn't say anything. "Priscilla.
you know I never cared for Ken
nethin fact, I hated him after
what he did to you but I can't
hate him now. I've just been over
there and he's pathetic, Priscilla."
Viola rattled on in a way that
Was so unlike her that rnsciim
Knew Kenneth mast be very in
Viola was not one to lose her
head, tn net hysterical, over no
thing. Yet Priscilla heard only a
word here and there. Half her
mind and all of her heart were in
the next room, where Dennis waited
for her return. Should she go to
Kenneth ... or should she stay
wltti Dennis who was nearer . . .
and dearer? She continued to hear
Viola's words even after she naa
replaced the receiver.
I can't hate him now , . . you
must go to him, Priscilla ... he
begs for you ... he wants you to
forgive him . . . he's pathetic . . .
jjhe stared at the soft light
the living-room door. There could
have been much happiness in this
house, much happiness. "Goodbye,
Dennis," she whispered. "Goodbye,
my darling!" Ana men, wun a
steady chin, she went in to tell
mm.
Only the muscles around his
mouth told her what the news
meant to him. He saw her deci
sion at once. "I'll get the car," he
said briefly. "I'll wait for you to
pack your things at Mrs. Wil
son's and then I'll take you to
the" Kcnts'."
Priscilla found herself as grate
ful for his efficiency now as she
had been for his kindness in pay
ing5 her hospital bill. Priscilla knew
that when she went, his happiness
wept with her, yet he did not
argue about it. She realized then,
as aiever before, that she could de
pend on Dennis.
By half past ten they had man
aged despite the snow-packed roads
to reach the Wilsons'. Priscilla
paaked all of her things she could
get Into one suitcase, and Dennis
took her to the Kent home in the
familiar, down - at - the - heel part
of y town. He kissed her hard on
tin mouth, just before she got out
of wthe car, and she watched him.
through eyes blurred with snow
and tears, as he drove off. With his
usal tact, he had evidently de
cided not to go inside with her.
Dragging her suitcase beside her.
Priscilla trudged wearily up the
poifch steps of the Kent house. The
sof snowflakes that spread where
evr the eye could reach, no longer
mhllarated her, but added to her
despondency. She wanted to llr
down and have that white shroud
blot her from this world forever.
The house was lighted up from
top. to bottom and to Prlscllla's
surprise, as she reached the door,
Kenneth's little sister bounded out
and put both arms around her
waist. The child pulled her into the
house, babbling and crying hysteri
cally. "Walt a minute, Dora," said Prls
ellla. gently. "I can't understand
what you're saying." ?
VHere's Mom," sobbed Dora.
"She'll tell you." Mrs. Kent came
toward them from the kitchen,
Prlscllla's heart was moved as she
mw how distraught she looked.
"I thought mebbe he'd eat some-
thin'," she said. "I got some soup
fixed." She took hold of Prlscllla's
arm, as If she were the only per
son in the world who could help
nen. - iiu . . . it'll nave to be fed
tolm," she snid, catching her
brenth in sons. "He .... he can't
raise up. Oh, Priscilla!"
rlscllla couldn't help feeling
sooy for Mrs. Kent, in spite of
Bin me misery sue Had caused
I . . v
Priscilla thought, but she's Ken
neth's mother and her heart has
broken over this.
"I'll go on up," she said in a matter-of-fact
tone. "And in a few
minutes you bring the soup you've
prepared. I'll feed it to him. I
know how they do it in the hos
pital." Priscilla, leaving her suitcase in
the hall, went upstairs to the
bedroom that had cost her so much
time and money to decorate.
A glance at Kenneth sent a chill
through her. His face was more
bronzed than ever but he looked
extremely worn and haggard. His
eyes were tightly closed and his
brows knit in a deep scowl, as If
he were in great pain. Streaks of
gray marked the waves of his hair
and his sunken checks twitched
nervously as she watched. He
looked like an old man. As Pris
cilla approached the bed his eyes
opened and his shoulders moved as
if he wanted to rise. Then, as he
looked up at her, a flicker of a
smile replaced his frown.
"Hello, Priscilla," he said in a
flat Jaded tone. Priscilla found that
sne pitied him. Viola had been
right. You couldn't hate a man who
had changed like this. She forgot
completely ner terror the last night
then had been in this room to
gether. She forgot her pain and the
loss oi ner onpy. ne stood there,
instead, thinking of Kenneth's
devil-may-care eves as she had
first looked Into them at Lorraine's
wedding. She thought, too, how
different his "Hello. Priscilla" was
from the old, boisterous "Hi-ya
onuesi
"Do you ..." she asked hesi
tantly, "do you have much pain?'
"It's mv lees." he said dnllv
"Sometimes they got no feelin' at
all and I gotta touch 'em to see If
they're still there, and then awful
pains shoot through 'em. I can't
sleep nights. I Just lie here and
tninK. mats tne worst part. Prls
cilia, forgive me . . ."
"All right," said Priscilla. She
put a soothing hand on his fore
head. "It's all right now." Mrs
Kent came in at that moment and
Priscilla pulled up a chair to the
bedside. She did not dare sit on
the side of the bed as she fed him
She could sense that every touch,
every movement, gave him pain.
