"You give me a hint once that a man had hurt you killed himself because you couldnt be nice to him waa that ltt" "No. not quite,'' ahe answered hurriedly, distressedly. "We think he killed himself, his father and I no one else knows. They all . think It was an accident." "And you couldn't love hunt" "No, that wasn't It. I did like him terribly. He would have wait ed longer; he would have hoped that I . . . I'm not even sure that he was In love with me," Jennifer aald confusedly. "It was all mixed up. Eugene the one who died, you know u so good: he wanted everyone to be perfect. He aald that all vhe troubles of the world woudl be cured If we were all just perfect." "He was a born reporter, Monty aald dryly as ahe paused. "And he he said he wasn't In love with me," Jennifer stumbled on, "but he said that he ought to marry me to protect me, that the world was so wicked . . . and then . . . then . . ." Suddenly ahe began to sob violently; she tried to talk above the emotion that ma gaining on her. "Then when he found out that I wasn't - so perfect," ahe aald quickly, "he was stunned. He was disappointed in me . . ." - It was no use. She could go no further. She put -her face down on her knees and cried. After a moment she rose blindly to her lee t. "I think. If you dont mind. Ill go nome. i am i Know wnais the matter with me . . ." Monty had left his easel and come over to her. He pushed her sentiy into a cnair. "Don't go home and cry all night," he said dispassionately, going tack to his work. "Cry it out nere. i ramer siupeciea some thing like this. What'd you do. Jinny, fall In love with the office doss, wno was unnappuy mar ried?" "No," ahe answered, 'gulping, getting control of herself wun an effort. "He he wasnt married He liked me; we liked each other so much! I waa so happvl And then he just stopped. He had never meant ... I thought he meant ..." "That was a mistake." be said presently In a reflective voice. "I know," Jennifer answered In small tired voice. "I always knew. But I was In love; I guess It's sort of craziness. But after ward , . . and all this time . . If I could only forget It. had It hot have happened!" i on wen, we an reel inei. Monty aald consolingly "Lord, the things you'd like not to have tone 1 1 knew one feller who grad uated from college with honors because he found out where the blue books for the finals were stored and had a couple of weeks to work on them, A year after ward he went to the dean and told him; he had to. The dean aald, It dldnt do me any harm to graduate you; you're the one that'll have to pay for It." "And what did they do to him?" . "Nothing, of course. Hee quite a well-known man today, la asked to speak at fraternity dinners. I had flunked out two years earlier; I didn't know for years how he managea to graduate. I'll ten vmi anmetjhtna-- Mnntv want nil you something," Monty went on suddenly, "I'll tell you the thing I wish I could blot out. I had a mighty good father. I didn't think so much of him because he was a quiet old fellow In an alpaca coat, browsing about his little ah op. His dream waa to have a secondhand bookstore. "Well. I Inherited a BtUe money, and I was all for travel, for .painting in Paris rive gauche all that, I could have set the old man up In his little bookshop; It never occurred to me. I could have been enthus iastic about It, helped him ar range the windows. He came down to the boat with me when I start ed my trip around the world, went over the ship with me. 'I surely congratulate you, Monty," he said. 'I've always had an Idea I'd like to be on a freighter when she went out the Golden Gate. You'll see strange things' I hung over the rail; he went back to his stationery store. I dawdled around in Manila and Tokvo and Singa pore; we reached Trieste when I got a cable from him: 'Mama anxious, please write, Papa.' I hadn't written; I wrote a letter then. I found it In some papers after he waa dead. He was a dear old fellow not exciting, you know, but well I guess having a son was the great adventure of his life. Nothing was too good for me. I wish now well, there you are!" "But, Monty, boys are like that." Jennifer argued eagerly: "you didn't do anything wrong. You were Just caielesa and busy with your own plans, the way aios are. ne unarrawoa man "I hope he did, Jinny. Mavbe none of It was wrong, like forging somebody's name or putting poi son In somebody's tea. But you aun t jorget. "No, she gTeed sadly, looking into space witn young, tragic eyes. "You don't forget." "I've thought a thousand times In the last few years," Monty said, "of that afternoon when I first sailed. I aaw my father after that; I was home again, of course. He waa immensely proud when I won a scholarship and a painting of mine was published in the ?aper. He had that. But he knew didn't belong to him any more. Tf ww that first afternoon when fill RELAXED! I missed my chance. My chance to say. 'Here's where you get fooled, Pop. You and I are buying that little bookshop on Sutter Street and we've got to get busy classify ing and cleaning up ten thou sand books.' He had all the book stores seized up; so many thou sand at fifty cents flat, and so many other thousand at fifteen cents flat.1 Painting away busily, he began to whistle softly. "We have to wash that sort of thing out. Jinny, except, for being stronger for It. We have to start over. Wiser." A great breath of strength and courage seemed to be blown into ner. "Oh. if we eouidl" "But that's the history ef the strongest people In the world, you poor little idiot. Not the ones who have nothing to regret. The ones who are strung by shame and remorse and general self depislngness Into rising above the past. -Men may rise on stepping stones of their dead selves.' That's St. Augustine. You cant fool him. Jennifer laughed suddenly. smiled at him with her eyelashes stuck Into dark points and her face flushed ilka that of a tearful bany. "You still love this man, eh?1 Monty asked, not looking at her. on no. I nsie mm, i aon i know. When he came to see me I suddenly seemed to hate him. Jennifer said, beginning in a rush. quieting aown to aouot uie puzzle ment. "I told bun to go away, not to talk to me. I don t Know how I did It. I seemed on fire all of a sudden, though I'd been wait ing, longing to see nun. "That was how long ago? And you've not seen him since?" "That was oh, more than three months ago. No. I've not seen him since." And would you like to see bun. Jinny?" "I keep thinking about It." she said simply. "I keep thinking that I would like to see him just once. Not ever be friends again, I don's mean that. But to nave him see me . . .' "Rich and happy and with lots of admirers about you," he sup plied as she hesitated. "Yes. I think that's what I mean." she admitted, still hesitant speaking much more to her own tnougnuis than to rum. Monty a tone had been so sensible, so matter-of-fact, that ahe could an swer him almost without self-! consciousness. "To let him see that if he can be happy not rememoering anyuiing, nor sorry for anything why, so can 1 be too. But no," Jennifer ended with a change of tone. "I never want to see mm again. I am sure or it." "I hone you never do. I would like to meet him," Monty said quietly, and have a little talk with him. I would like to let him know what I think of him. But let that pass. It's nine o'clock and you are supposed to be on your way over the rooftops. Want my flashlight?" un no. its aright moonlight. And I'll be here at half past six on Saturday, Monty, to help you set the table." "I'll count on you." He came to the roof-terrace door with her: there was an awn lng there now, and two or three old garden chairs. Jennifer step ped up to the adjoining roof. waved at nun, was on ner way across the dark levels. There was Indeed a moon, but the sky was strewn with fluffy, soft tufts of cloud. The air was cold and soft and pure: the man stood breath ing deeDly. looking ud at the dark vault overhead. Once or twice he turned to follow with his eyes Jennifer's figure as it slipped into deeper and deeper darkness. When she reached the trap door that admitted her to her own apartment she whistled seven notes from Louise, and Monty completed the phrase. He was es pecially fond of the opera, and Jennifer, fussing about the studio with dishwashing or straighten ing, had grown famllar with it. It had come to be their signal of her coming or going. "Someday when you re in a great opera house," he had once said to her, "In Milan er Berlin or New York, you'll hear that ana im tnrui you to your bones. un, Monty, do you Know, uiey had It on a radio program the other night and I recognized it right away I mix about culture I nut im airaia." jennuer naa said sadly, "that I'll never be in a big opera house. I'll never get mat lari its too great a gap a chasm. From our twenty-two-dollar flat to grand opera, it's too far! The clothes, Monty and and the sort of people" "As for the sort of people, all sorts go. Shabby people, to climb up all the stairs and get more out of the music than all the others put together. Real music lovers with scores, who get a downstairs seat by saving all year lor u. ana lonow every note though they're more for the sym phonies than the opera. And the social rtegisier oi course. The Jod-glven chance to wear new clothes and furs and orchids, or course you'll go to the opera I If It comes and they play Louise I'll take you." Monty had aald: we'll sit In the second balcony." "1 can't oeueve I ever could go to the opera," she had mur mured. But he had known she was not speaking to him but to her own thoughts.
