ino David viae a wrench. Be it in

WORD FROM DAVID
fryHERE on earth would you go?
' Frances asked.
"To Birmingham, perhaps. Any
where where I could really do some
thing." Charlotte was still In Birm
ingham, eating It up.
"But what would you do?" Fran
ces' voice had a staccato quality.
"Anything that came up. News
paper work, perhaps. I can write
pretty well." Bhe felt childish and
Incompetent. "Or I could teach. An
Ardmore diploma's quite a boost."
Frances began to recover. "I never
beard of anything so absurd, Emily.
To leave us alone and go off and
live In some warren In a city. With
out any experience at all."
, "There's only one way to get ex
perience," Emily pointed out, "And
that's to experience things."
! Still Jpftry was silent. He looked

ached for him. If only she could make. '
them see ber side of ltl She was al
most twenty-tour and she wanted
first to be tree for a while, and then
to marry.
And If she stayed In Elston there
would be Edwin. Not a chance of
anything else; only Edwin. Some
where in the world there must be a
nan with David's charm and Ed
win's stability a man she could not
only love but marry.
But you couldn't say: "I want to
marry some day, and there's no one
here but Edwin. And since the Lord
helps those who belp themselves I
must get out and find someone.", You
couldn't put it that baldly, even
though you knew, and they knew,
that you spoke the truth.
"I did hope," Frances's voice had
.a plaintive note, "that after four
years of college we'd have you at
'home for a while."
"But you have," Emily Insisted.
"Over two years."
Frances appealed to her husband.
"Jeffry, tell her how absurd It Is."
Even In the candle-light his face
was white and drawn. "We'd miss
you, honey," he said simply.
HER eyes burned with sudden
tears. She loved blm unbearably,
even more than Independence, but
she clung to the thought of Inde
pendence like the drowning man to
bis straw. Knowing that she snd the
drowning man had about the same
chance.
"But It Isn't absurd, It it?" the
pleaded.
"No," he eald gravely, "it Isn't ab
turd." Frances gave up any pretense of
eating. "You're being at ridiculous
at Emily! You know how you've en-
Joyed having her here; how you've
looked forward to It, and hoped that
eventually " the broke off. Emily
knew the hope! It had to do with
Edwin. "And now you're taking her
tide and aurrasMng that she go to
some city and lira like like a tene
ment worker!"
"I'm not." Even Jeffry, Emily
knew, willed before the fire of hit
wife's convictions. "I'd be lost with
out her, but her wanting to go Isn't
absurd. And I'd tee that she didn't
live like that."

Bregman waa arrested by secret

They rose from the table. Frances
went stiffly out to give the servants
orders (or morning. Emily and Jet
fry, with their arms about each
other, walked alowly towards the
garden.
Emily stopped and faced blm.
"Would you really be lost without
me?" '.
He didn't answer for a long time.
"I'd manage somehow," he said at
last. "It had to come eventually."
But his voice had broken, as ha
spoke.
It was the break that did it. If thers

thought, It would have been very
different. But she was all he had,
and she worshipped him. She flung
herself Into his arms, crying against

He didn't even trust himself to

most immediately. Judith'a loyalty
to their friendship touched her to
deeply that ahe always wrote two
or three letters to Judith's one, and
felt that the proportion was not un
reasonable. Early In October Edwin waa called
to New York on business. It was the
first time he had been awny for mora
than a day or two since Emily had
been at home, and she was aston

there she knew what she was going

He wrote dally: stiff Utile letters
