He drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a warm hearted, self-sacrificing and understanding soul, welcomes her. Kezia’s sis ter, Margery, plump and matronly with the care of three children, is at lunch with them. Hugh's wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way back to his job at the steel plant founded by one of his fore bears, Hugh passes Doc H iller, a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently be cause of Dorrie’s antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh wakens the next morning from a dream about her late husband, Jim, whose unstable char acter she fears Kezia has inherited. Elbn Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically inclined g irl who is a distant niece of Flu vanna's. She happily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged to Jerry Purdue. Ellen fears that her father and mother, Gavin and Lizzie, will not approve the match Hugh and Dor rie go out to the Freeland Farms to dance with their friends, Cun and Joan Whitney. W hitney, who has been out of work, has a new position. Cun and Dorrie dance together and then disappear for a while. Dancing with Joan, Hugh is amazed to find her in tears. Apparently she has some secret worry over her husband, Cun. When Ellen and Jerry speak about their engagement to Ellen’s par ents, Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym pathizer with her imagined ailments. The m at ter is left pending. Unexpectedly H ugh has to visit a neighboring city on business. Return ing home to ask Dorrie to accompany him he finds her telephoning. In confusion she quick ly hangs up without saying good-by. She finally agrees to accompany him. They spend a delightful day and Hugh is happy. At a family party, Kezia encounters Jerry. Ellen is disturbed when Jerry is absorbed by Kezia. Kezia goes out of her way to charm Jerry. Fluvanna is concerned about Kezia, who is evasive about dates she has been having at night. She muses over the resemblance of Kezia to her late husband, recalling liow tem peramental, moody and improvident he had been. She recalls the tragic picture of his death— how after drinking and gambling to excess he is faced with financial ruin, how he tries to force her to mortgage her resources to pay his debts and threatens her with a gun. CH A PTER V—Continued — 11— “ I borrowed the last on that.” “Will you telephone Kimball? He’s waiting.” Her thoughts raced. If she could get away from him until he came to his senses! “I won’t do any thing until you lay that revolver down!” He looked at her anu then at the weapon sullenly. “I’ll keep it un til you go through with it.” Escape? . . . Escape? . . Be hind her was the attic door. Why hadn’t she run downstairs—out in to the yard? It was in her mind to gain the maid's room and lock the door. She whirled and ran up the stairs. He caught up with her as she was closing the door, grasped her by the shoulders. “Give me time to think! . You are frighten ing me to death I” she moaned. He placed the revolver at her breast. His face was savage. “ You'll do as I tell you—now!” She had caught the weapon in her hands, struggled with a strength she had never known she possessed. It had gone oil with a terrible re port. The gun fell to the floor. Jim stared at her, his arms, his shoul ders relaxed. She watched a red stain appear on his shirt—spread. He staggered. Chilling from head to foot, she put her arm around him. eased his fall. All the beastliness was wiped out of Jim ’s face. He looked faintly surprised and puzzled. “ I wasn’t any good,” he whispered with a half mocking smile. “Just as well I did it.” Downstairs she heard running footsteps. He was still conscious when Dr. Carey came. “ I did it, Doc—busi ness losses,” said Jim. He closed his eyes. The universe did not cease its swaying and a remote and cloudy veil closed down upon her. The doctor kept her in bed; she couldn’t have risen if she had tried. In her condition of shock she was beyond anything that required decision “I'm sending a nurse for a day or so,” Dr. Carey had said. In her sick fancy she seemed to see a pilgrimage of people, laugh ing, singing people, passing along a road, the women wreathing them selves with flowers picked by the roadside, bound together by the unity of happiness—their troubles only inconveniences — while she stood on an isolated crumbling precipice, alone. Presently she knew comfort. But not of earth. The phrases of those oil earth who longed to comfort, were kindly intentioned, hut inade quate. Comfort came from inter stellar spaces; through a million million light years it traveled to her, from higher, liner realms of ether.
