MARQC'8 PLOT 18 REVEALED
"npHEY'8 going to operate on Mr.
Somerset today. Guess mar
be they're doing It now," Mlaa BIZ'
by whispered to Kitty.
While Gar alept, Kitty, sitting
beside htm, pondered on the conse
quences ot Carol's marriage. It
Paul Someraet lived, would she re
gret ltt No ahe knew Carol well
enough, now, to anawer that Hap
piness of any sort, the simple (act
of belonging to some one, would
make Carol over.
Gar stirred In his sleer. muttered,
His brows drew sharply together.
Hla face had thinned, lost lta boy
ishness. Kitty noticed little lines
about his month. For a moment
she was all maternal, leaning to
ward him, yearning oyer him. And
then a great anger mounted In ber
heart against-the woman who was
bis mother; every weakne-.s in Gar
ah, she knew them, now was of
that mother's making.
"And I almost failed hlmt"
He turned bis head slowly. Kitty
saw little terror In bis eyes.
"I guess I waa dreaming.
thought you'd gone I" He clung to
her hand.
She stroked his hands, his face,
his hair. She kissed him.
His voice lifted, excitedly. "Kitty,
I've got to tell you"
"Gar, darling, you don't need to
tell me anything now. Walt"
"I dont want to we.lL I want yon
to know. It'll bother me until you
do. But, Kit, you're got to help
me get It straight."
She held bla band In both of hers
to give herself courage, as well as
to steady him.
Gar had turned hla face away
from her. She had to lean closer
to him to catch bla low, baiting
Tolee.
"I dont know how I got started,
Kit. I do know this I loved you
all the time. Marge was alwaya
getting me-np to her house about
one thing and another. And ahe
began talking about going away-
staying away It sort ot got me.
I'd always liked her a lot We'd
been well, you see, before I met
you I alwaya thought ah was the
only girl."
"Gar, I understand
He shook bis bead, bla face still
averted from hers.
"It was all right until I began
lying to you about where I'd been.
I hated It but I waa afraid to tell
you, It was easier to let you think
I wits at rehearsals. It was so easy
God, Kit, guess I'm a rotter."
"Gar, Gar, sleose" Kitty's bands
(hook over his.
"Marge told me ah waa going
way because because of us," He
waa silent for an Interval And
Kitty's throat went dry and stilt
o that ahe could say no word. "She
waa I thought ahe waa terribly
unhappy. It bothered me lot. I
kissed her oh, sort of off-hand.
And after that things were differ
enL She said she didn't care what
bappenod. And there waa Somer
aet. She told me ahe might run
away with him. That got me. Kit,
am I making you see?"
"Yes, Gar."
- "That night when we quarreled
o I went home. I told mother
we were through, you and I. You'd
aald ao, Kit. And I was I guess
I waa crasy. Mother waa wonder
ful she waa ao calm. She told me
you see Marge had told her how
things were K1L I can't believe IL
now. We talked about my getting
a divorce. Marrying Marge. And
the next day Marge called me
she wanted me to come over to say
good-by And we talked She
asked me to go to Paris she asked
me to meet her there she said It I
didn't she would I didn't say I'd
go, K1L Believe me. But I felt
desperate. I thought I'd lost you.
And, when I wouldn't promise.
Marge got angry. She told me she
waa going to run off with Somer
set. She called me later from tbe
Rainbow Gardene ehe'a gone there
with him she called me to say
Well, It got me. It was after mid
night I drove out there and I told
ber I'd come tor ber. We got Into
my car nd Somerset followed us
In hers. Ho was mad, I don't
know Just what happened he trlod
to stop me and the cars sldeswlpcd
and that's all-
Gar's halting voloe finished on a
long fretful sigh."
Kitty was shaking. She tried (o
take a aound but her throat, bar
fat were too stiff. She burned
with anger at bla moVber. at Marge

who had schemed so to play on bla
heedlessness.
"I won't fall you, I won't fall
you!" ber heart waa crying while
her llpa kept their stiff silence.
Gar drew bis hand from here.
"Did you get It straight, KltT I
loved you all the time. But 1 guess
It doesn't matter, now. I guess,
now that you know, your're
through."
But, Gar, I'm not I'm not We're
Just beginning. We're Just know
ing one another now. We're to
gether!" His head turned slowly. There
were tears In hla eyes and a boyish
unbelief. She laughed shakily, put
ber Hps to bis.
"Oh, Gar, that we should bare
been afraid of one another! There
were thlnga I didn't tell you be
cause I waa afraid, little things
that didn't matter. I was seeing
David often, and hla friends, and
Carol and I waa afraid to tell you
because you wouldn't understand.
And I waa too critical and oh, Gar,
we were Just stumbling! And we
love one another ao "
Her teara wet hla face; her llpa
clung to bla.
"Kit" bis voice waa scarcely
above a whisper, "Kit, I swear to
God that I'm going to be worthy ot
you. I'm going to be a man."
"Gar, let's move away from that
apartment "
"You're going to have everything
your way, sweet. I'll do whatever
you want me to."
"I love you, Gar."
"Kit, did did Somerset
Marge?"
"Marge wasn't hurt. Oar. She's
gone away, with her mother. And
Somerset they don't know, yet."
She could not risk telling him of
Carol's and Somerset's marriage.
"Poor devil I hope he gets out
of IL" Gar's brows drew together,
"Kit I think Marge used him. I
don't think she Intended for a min
ute going oft with him."
Kitty dropped her eyea to conceal
her satisfaction. That Gar, now,
should see that! Oh, he had come
to wisdom.
The afternoon wore on, drowsily.
Mlsa Blxby found an opportunity
to tell Kitty that the "other fellow"
had stood the operation better than
the doctora had expected.
At four o'clock Mrs. Frew cam
In with Doctor Harrington. She
smiled sweetly at Kitty. "Aren't
you exhausting yourself, my dear?"
She kissed Gars forehead. She
waa composed, gracious, charming.
Do you think by tomorrow he
can be mored. Doctor?" ahe aaked
when he had examined Gar.
If hla chart shows another good
night. With a nurse" Tbe doe
tor looked at Mlsa Blxby.
"I have asked Miss Blxby If she'll
come to the house. And I will take
a night nurse, too."
'I don't see any reason for him
to stay here," the doctor affirmed.
Oar's glance went queetlonlngiy
to hla mother.
"What's It all about!"
"I am taking you home, deal
boy." She beamed fondly down at
him.
Gar smiled, boyishly.
"Home? That'd be great to get
out ot here. But" his glance
sought out Kitty where she stood,
straight, sober-faced, behind the
othors. "It's all up to Kltl She's
my boss, you know. What say,
Kit?"
Sweet words they flooded her.
She took a little step forward. Sh
did not look at Mrs. Frew.
We'll do whatever will make you
most comfortable, Gar. I think It
will be nice If ye can go to your
mother's house until you're all
well." She waa clean awept with a
great Joy. She wasn't afraid!
She shared Oar'a boyish eager
ness. They talked after Mrs. Frew
and the doctor went away. "You'll
stick close to me, won't you,
sweet?"
She promised.
She left him at nine o'clock and
went to the next room. She lay
for awhile on the narrow bed, think
ing over all that the day had
brought Carol's strange marriage.
Gar'a confession, ber own sudden
yielding to Mrs. Frew's wishes, with
Its moment ot triumph when aha
knsw she waa not afraid.
It had been an exhausting day.
yet, though physically, emotional
ly weary, Kitty was strangely hap
py and at poace. "I'm atrong enough
tor anything!" she thought as ah)
closed her eyea to seek sleep.
She waa wakened by Miss Blibj
shaking her. Mlsa Blxby wore a
thin kimono over her night clothes.
Hor hair waa hanging down orei
her back. Her lips hung open and
her eyea were frightened.
