1 un TCpnt went out and came
back in a lew minutes. "We best
let 'im go to sleep now. ine men
what brunk 'im told me to give
im one ot these pills when he
can't sleep," she said, picking up
a bottle lrom the tame oesrae Ken
neth's bed. "If he's still up after a
hour or so, we gitta give 'im another
one but be keerful never to give
Im more'n two in one night. Too
many'll kill him. Ya best give 'im
one now."
Prlscilla went to the bathroom
for a glass of water to go with the
sleeping plU and when she came
back, Mrs. Kent was pouring
whiskey. Prlscilla stopped her Just
as she was going to give it to
Kenneth.
"No!" said Prlscilla, surprised at
the sharpness of her own voice.
Mrs. Kent drew back and then
glared at Prlscilla indignantly.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Ain't my poor boy got a right to
have a drink If he wants one
after all he's been through?"
"That's all right," said Prlscilla
more gently. "But not at the same
time he takes the sleeping pill,
father the drink or the sleeping
pill, but not both at the same
time. Liquor and opiates don't
agree very well."
Kenneth turned his head to
ward her slowly, his eyes searching
her face. "Okay," he said. "Okay.
Let Prlscilla be the boss for awhile."
Mrs. Kent still glared at Pris
ellla, but she let it go at that.
She and Prlscilla supported Ken
neth's back while he took his
medicine. The two women plumped
his pillows and tucked in the cov
ers. She wants me here, Prlscilla
thought. She'd be frightened with
the responsibility all by herself, and
J'et she still can't keep from resent
ng me.
. "Is Pop awake?" asked Prlscilla.
"ia like to see mm."
"Yeah." said Mrs. Kent frrum
bllngly. "He's been sick, too. Don't
know what I'll do with both of
'em in bed and all the work
. Prlscilla walked across the hall
to Pop Kent's room and found
him sitting up in bed, reading
his paper.
"Hello, Pop," called Prlscilla
pleasantly. Mr. Kent looked up
questlonlngly and his face broke
into a smile when he saw Prls
cilla. "Well, welll Here's our little girl
back again. It sure Is good to sec
ya."
i Pop's wholehearted welcome and
very evident desire to have her
remain made It more difficult for
Prlscilla to refuse Mrs. Kent's en
treaty that she move back and
help her care for the Invalid. "I
kalnt do it all meself," she
whined.
It was arranged for Prlscilla to
sleep with Dora and take care of
any of Kenneth's needs during
the night, Mrs. Kent giving her
son a small bell, with which he
could summon Prlscilla if neces
sary. "Dora'll wash out yer stockln's
fer ya tonight and later ya can
bring some things, if ya'll come."
During the night Prlscilla had
to give Kenneth his second sleep
ing pill and when she woke the
next morning he was still asleep.
Bhe had a light breakfast, kissed
Pop good-bye and, on her way
to work, she phoned Gertrude.
They arranged to meet for lunch.
, "Hello, Softie." said Gertrude, as
soon as Prlscilla had told her the
news.
Prlscilla flushed. "You'd be a
softie, too, if you could see Ken
neth now." she said defensively,
"he's so different."
"Well, suppose he Is," said Ger
trude. "He's had his big fling, here
and in San Francisco, or where
ever he's been all this time, and
all at your expense, If you ask
me."
"I know, I know," murmured
Prlscilla and then her gaze came
back. "What about Dennis?" she
asked, looking Prlscilla squarely in
the eyes. "Doesn't he need you?"
: "Oh, yes, I suppose he does,"
jild Prlscilla and then she broke
out passionately in despair. "Oh,
reri.rune. uus is sucn a stupid situ
ation. Did you ever think of the
rfhaln of happenings that led up
jp bi uo you suppose tne war could

have caused these things to hap
pen?" "It eould," said Gertrude, "and
did, in plenty of cases besides
yours." They sat in silence for a
while. Prlscllla's wandering attention
came back to her companion. "By
the way," Gertrude was asking,
a shrewd look in her eyes, "You
haven't told me what caused Ken
neth's paralysis?"
prlscilla looked down at tier
plate. "I don't know." she said
hesitantly.
' You mean you haven't asked
him? Doesn't his mother know?"
Prlscilla didn't answer. Gertrude
lost patience. "Prlscilla Kent, an
swer me. Are you afraid to ask
him? Are you afraid of what you'll
find out?"
Prlscilla forced herself to look
at Gertrude. "Yes," she said finally.
"I'm afraid of what I'll find out."
That evening when she had had
a talk with Mrs. Kent, Prlscilla
knew that her original feeling had
been correct, her fear Justified.
The doctor had been there that day
ana he had told Mrs. Kent that
Kenneth's paralysis had been cauS'
ed by a gunshot wound. Kenneth
had evidently been shot in the
back. Mrs. Kent told Prlscilla that
and then clamped her lips shut as
n sne were sure she had said too
much. She got up from her chair
ana startea to walk away.
wait a minuter' Prlscilla was
worried more by this half-know
ledge than she had been before she
found out anything at all. "Mother
Kent, who were the men who
brought Kenneth home?"
I don't know," snapped Mrs,
Kent. "Tain't my business nor
yours." And Prlscilla was unable to
get another word out of her.
