PXGE EIGHT MEBFORD MAIL TRTBUKE, M"EDFORD. OREGOX. SUNDAY, MAY 22, 1932. .KITTY FREW ' try JANE ABBOTT. ariropaist mtty rreu her husband. Oar. in a Aoepltal, guarded bu hie too-devoted mother, when the ie eummoned back from m trip. Be wae hurt in an auto mobile accident, with Marge Crosbv in whom Kitty euepecte he it intereeted and Paul Somerset with whom Oar1 titter, Carol, it in love. Chapter IT "UNTIL DATH DO US PART" GAR war trowing more excited. Kitty patted bis hand gontly. , "Don't I know that? Now you mustn't talk. The nurse will send me away It you get tired." "Well, hold my hand, anyway." He was content with that. She told him of her brief three days' ity In Brldgewater; she saw that her Tolce quieted him. In his eyes sb saw that odd pleading that bad been there when she'd accused him of staying In Wlnton because be did not want to leave Marge. The nurse tiptoed In and out. Mr. Frew came In and sat for a little while In Kitty's chair, regarding Gar with an anxious face. He had greeted Kitty warmly, with something like gratitude In his manner. "If yon need me, my dear, call me. Will you go to the apartment?" Bhe bad not thought of It. She bad not thought of leaving Oar tor ened, dismayed. The rlclous circle was beginning again and she felt herself slipping helplessly Into It Another night In the bare, clean room next to Oar's, another morn ing, the night nurse yawning, Miss Blxby coming in fresh, smiling, to take her place. Breakfast on a lit tle table close to Oar's bed. Doctor Harrington examining bis patient, Joking with him, teasing Kitty tor her pale face. And then alone wltb Gar, precious sweet moments, too sweet to let In any apprehension "Am I better, Kit?" Oar was like a boy, wanting her assurance oyer the doctor's. 4 "Oh, mucn." "Kit, It I'm better I can talk. There's something I want to get of my mind" She stroked his hair. "Not now, sweetheart. We'll hare hours and hours to talk." "Do you love me?" "Oh, Oar! Yes, yes." 1 "Well, I don't know why yon should " He was frowning. She had to kisi It away, quickly. He did not ask why his mothei did not come. She exulted at that even though she knew well she had soon to reckon with her. She had Oar to herself for a few days, al least. "Kvan If he dies, he's mint!" .. so much as an hour. But perhaps they would not let her stay here Her face betrayed her distress and uncertainty. Mr. Frew patted her shoulder. "I'll talk to the super intendent. Perhaps she can arrange for you to have a room here for a night or two." "Oh, than you!" Impulsively Kitty lifted her Hps and kissed Dal Hon Frew's strained, lined, tired face. She was established In the room next to Gar's. At nine o'clock she bade Gar goodnight and went to It and to bed, at once. She slept soundly, waking to daylight filter Ing through the drawn shades. She dressed and went back to Oar's jroom where the night nurse greeted Iter a little tlredly, Indifferently. Miss Blxby came on duty at eight o'clock, fresh, smiling. "He had a line night. He'll be out of here in no time, she assured Kitty. She brought Kitty t) break fast tray when she brought Oar's. "You're lucky, Mrs. Frew. There's a girl cornea to see the other fellow and she raised all sorts of a row downstairs last night be. .cause the nurse made her go at nine o'clock. They don't think he's going to get well he was hurt in ternally." I It had been Carol, of course, who'd made the row. Kitty felt a deep compassion for her and at the same moment that disquieting re luctance to admit Somerset's share In Oar's accident Into her thoughts, The day passed quietly; the doo tor came and went. Oar was more comfortable, more like his old self, demanding that Kitty sit close to him most of the time. Mr. Frew came again and sat with Gar, talking awkwardly, affection ately for a little while. When he moved to go he beckoned to Kitty to follow him out to the hall. "Has his mother told you, Kitty? Doctor Harrington says that Oar can be moved safely In a few daya. She'a arranged for a hospital bed at the house and two nurses." He did not look at her. "It'll make things easier for you, my dear, un til he's up and around." She did not utter the quick vehe ment ptotost that sprang to her lips. Bhe was not fighting this help leas man. But after he'd gone she leaned for 1 moment against the gray painted wall of the corridor. She was fright- Miss Blxby came in and touched Kitty on the shoulder. "There's some one outside who wants to speak to you." , i , David, Kitty thought. She must thank him tor meeting her though she begrudged the moments away from Oar. But it was Carol, waiting outside, her eyes strangely gleam ing, a little smile twisting her lips. "Kitty, I need you." She spoke quickly. She caught Kitty's arm and drew her toward the opposite door. "It won't take a minute. There'a a minister In there he's going to marry Paul and me." She felt Kitty's shocked withdrawal. "I wouldn't have it any other way!" she said, low, fiercely, tightening her hold on Kitty's arm. "Paul wants it " A curious exultation shone on her face. "Sren If be dies he's mine!" Kitty had no argument against that She followed Carol into the room behlne the closed door. Her glance went slowly from the nurse to a tail, slightly shabby man in a clergyman's robes standing near the window holding a prayer-book In his hand, to an Interne, grinning over his part In this strange cere mony, and last, reluctantly, to the figure on the bod. But Paul Somer set's eyes did not meet hers. They were fixed on Carol. A faint smile lifted the corners of his lips. His hand moved a little and Carol took it. "Until death do us part." The words took on etrange signi ficance, sounding here In these walls that so often housed death. Kitty shivered. But In Carol's firm roles there was no tailoring, no note of fear. The nurse turned them all out a little .brusquely. Out In the hall the clergyman put book Into Kitty's hand, bidding her sign her name as a witness of the marriage. The Interne, still grinning, signed his. Carol put a bill Into the clergy man's hand, muttered a quick thtnk you and slipped back Into the room. She had established her right there. Kitty went back to Oar, shaken. troubled, close to tears. "Do you think Paul Somerset the other man has any chanee?" she asked Miss Blxby at her first opportunity. tCepjwItfAf, Jane Abbott) An alarmtd etll waktt Kitty la the nKt Inatallmertt.
