i.IARSHA'8 GREETING
" f Y DEAR!" Bob heard Marsha
I'l call, and suddenly bla world
waa reeling. He had not dreamed
that the would kiss him, press close
to him and cling.
Bartholomew had tip toed away.
She had not made the scene (or
Bartholomew. He found he could not
loose her bands, and that he could
not apeak. He saw she was pitiably
weary, more uncertain and younger
than he bad thought she could seem,
and obviously smitten by the blow
he bad thought would be his alone.
"You're tired," he heard himself
say after some Interval; "criminal
ly, tragically tired. Have you been
quite done In by this?"
Elie could not respond; she shook
her head vehemently, and tried to
smile. The wry twist of ber lips
made his eyes smart.
"We'll Ox yon up!" he promised,
sounding angry, lis had left too
much to her; he had abused ber In
thinking her to bo the fabrlo that
would be untouched by tragedy that
was not bers alone. He felt ber band
upon bla arm and patting It nervous
ly, absurdly.
"You must be tired," she stated,
"and you must eat some luncheon.
It's waiting you."
"I don't seem" (again the numb
ness that slowed bis speech waa
gripping him) "to be hungry."
"1 know. But you'll try to eat?"
she questioned and she raised an
anxious face to his after ber words.
He promised be would try to eat and
an hour later she 8At opposite him
at a small table she had set before
the drawing-room fire.
The arrangement had been
thoughtful of Marsha, he realized.
She had known bow the empty place
at the dining-room table would af
fect him. He found himself eating
more heartily than he bad In daya
and even tasting the food. Up to
tbat moment all foods had been the
same; flavorless and yet apt to
nauseate one as one chewed method
ically. "What haa wrecked you so?" he
asked abruptly.
She laughed, but ber eyes filled;
"How delightfully courtly," she
murmured.
"Oh." he murmured flatly, "you're
prettier than over, If yon want that,
but you're 111. I left too much to
you."
"No!" she contradicted violently;
"I would not have been denied do
ing anything 1 did!"
She reached quickly for a glass of
water: he saw the shaking of her
band as she drank. Then, a trifle
steadied, she smiled almost natural
ly at him. Bartholomew entered
with the coffee tray which he set
upon a low table by Marsha's side.
He disappeared, closing the door
after himself.
"I'm ready to talk of anything
any time you want to," she said.
MARSHA told Bob, quite evenly.
" but In a voice that now and
again grew a trifle faint ot the fu
neral, of the beautiful flowers, of
bow quite everyone Mrs. Powers
bad known had sent them. She bad
a list of people who had sent the
flowers, Marsha stated and of what
aorts they had sent.
She felt Bob would have liked the
atmple service; she bad arranged it
with thought ot bis taste, and of
his mother's liking tor simplicity.
She told of notos that had come
and of how she had answered them.
He realized, sitting sagged In his
clmlr, that she had, with great care,
collected every hit ot Information
that ahe felt would help blm. There
waa a gentle, every doy steadiness
about her narration that steadied
blm.
He thought, "After all, she Is not
o deeply touched, and there Is
something about remoteness, cal
lousness, that helps others at times
like those. If sho hod cried
where would I nave boonl"
She thought. "I am doing ttilil It
Is helping him!" She bad rehearsed
It again and again and again, but
she had never ot.ee quite finished
the rehearsal without a stiffening
of throat and that shaking which
forewarns of going to pieces.
"Did did she suffer?" he man
aged to ark.

paused a moment to sip ber coffee;
he waa staring sombrely at the nil
at bla feet fie did not see her trem
bling, she realized with a covert,
testing glance. And the fact that
she was doing It rather well, gave
her new strength.
She told Bob next of what his
mother had said ot him; of all tbat
bad happened. He seemed to listen
soddenly, but she understood bis
suffering.
"Was It reasonable or fair?" be
questioned abruptly. She knew Bob
apoke of his failure to reach home
In time.
"No." she answered, "I don't
think It was. But it Is one ot those
facta that can curdle a life If you'll
let It. You'd better talk all you can
of your resentment I think It rather
helps."
He said, frowning, moving uneasi
ly, "I'd so wanted to come; I'd
thought so continually of It And
there was no getting away. I'm not
the world'a marvel, but I waa the
only man they could get now who
could swing that job. And my paus
ing meant stopping tbe work of
others. They couldn't stand the fi
nancial strain of any pause.
"I thought of It, weighed It I
couldn't see how I could leave "
"I know," he heard, "and so did
your mother; she understood per
fectly. She spoke again and again
In a way that made me know she
did. And the doctor had told me, and
I'd written you, that hor Ufa would
balonger. You must not reproach
yourself."
He ran hla hands through his
stiff, sandy hair; "for the sake of
the workers and the company the
work bad to go on!" be said Jerkily,
"but It wasn't reasonable for God,
or whatever It Is who runs things,
to make me the one man P tted to the
Job. I thought"
"I know," Marsha murmured.
Bob thought dully, "You have the
most beautiful eyes" they were
filled with sympathy and feeling;
and they acemed to caress him.
"WOD see, I wanted to come every
second. But I kept thinking of
what my betrayed trust would mean
to workers, stockholders, to the
men who head the firm."
"I know," Marsha murmured yet
again. Once more he saw, and acute
ly, her eyes: her wonderfully kind
and beautiful eyes. For a moment
he was silent looking Into them;
he saw her flush slightly and real
ized how pale ahe had been.
"It wasn't reasonable, was It?" he
probed as would a child who Is pun
ished unjustly.
"It docs not seem so, Boh," she
conceded, "but it is a fact you can't
change."
"Am I a weak whlnor?"
"No, ob nol Talk It out all yon
can; your resentment but remem
ber that your measure must be,
now, a little small."
He poured himself another cup of
coffee; she leaned across the table
to drop a half lump of sugar Into the
cup.
"You remember well," he said,
and he saw hor eyes veiled by hurt
"I do romember rather too well,
sometimes," she agreed. He would
never know how she remembered,
ot course, she reasoned, nor of how
the lesn "teed on foods the fat of
heart despise."
Hathcr sjupldly he brought forth
his clgarots, and held a lighter to
hers and then to hla. As the smoke
circled and rose to make a taint
blue haze In the stately room he
found himself talking of things that
had troubled him all the way home.
There wore other thlnga that
bothered him; little neglects that
had frown disproportionate because
ot the finality of death. One year
he'd forgotten her birthday until It
was well past On another occasion
he had laughed over those standing
ash trays and It seemed she bad
got him one tor a surprise. . . He
stopped speaking, and Marsha
leaned forward to cover his hand
with bers.
"You are morbid." she said. "Yon
won't be able to help bolng so, 1 am
afraid, but you can help yourself a
little by realizing that you are mor
bid, and unfair to yourself. Yon
were alwaya so fine to her! 8o dear.
Flease believe me!"
He was afraid to move his hand,
for fear that hers might be taktn
from It. After a few seconds, she
slipped her other band beneath
Bob's, and so clasped It between
both of hers. It seemed as It she un
derstood his needs and much he
could not say.
