"God knowa I don't, Marsha!" he answered heavily, and he aaw teara brim In her eyes. He puahod her heavy hair away from her forehead; running hla hand over her forehead and across her hair. "We're not going to worry about anything. Marsha, except the tact that I waa brutal last night. I want yon to know that It will never hap pen again. Can you believe me?" "Yes. I've never once really Joubted you. I" "Quiet, dear." He made no fight against the well ing of tenderness that filled him. She was frightened, pitiable and lovely, with her hair lying dishev eled on the linen of her pillow. And 111, she was hla a he had dreamed she would be; his to care for. And he would care for her, so long as she needed him, Aftor a moment she relaxed and ser soba lessened. "No one la going to bother you," be said slowly, close to aternly. "Do you understand? I won't lot thorn! Do your hear me, Maraha?" "No ons It going to "T-yo " "My darling!" hs thought; hie own eyes wet. "I'll fill anyone who bothers you full ot buckshot!" he promised. Klie laughed snstoadlly. "We'ro only going to bars that worthy M.D. com In her to give you a pill and feel your pulse and tell you that a few day In bed will 'adjust th matter' soe?" "Y yes " she whimpered. Ills touch had helped her, soothed her; bo was elated by the fact. "Breakfast next," he said and against her hair, "understand? A real one, coal miner's sice! Tea or coffee?" . She laughed a little unsteadily. She said, "Tea, I think, this morn ing." ' Dob's mind whirled. Ha was brought back to present and reality by Hannah's tap upon the door. "TTH0 Is 0 Is It?" Bob called. t's I, Mr. Robert, Hannah. I wondered whother I might, please, bring Mis. Powers' breakfast up now?" "Yes. And make It a good one, Jlnnnnh." , "I will, sir, thank you, sir." Marsha drew away. Bob rose. "Now suppose," b suggostcd, "w prop you up with pillows and drape, one of these things around you," (ho picked up a nep Igce of coral hue from the foot ot the bed) "and becomo attuned to soft-boiled eggst" She shuddered; 'ie smllod down on her. "Thoy haT their placo!" he stated, thinking, with a wry twist of heart that, for her, he might be long with nourishing, uninteresting, unsplced foods from which the Jailed sometimes turn with lonthlng. Tarloton was highly spiced! Had Tarleton'a deflections a part In her being 111, or was It all a product of that which be saw as bit "Tile bru tality?" A little time and h would know. There would have to be some doRreo of frankness between them In order that they might determine the host thing for them to do.
