"Where are you staying?" be asked ab ruptly. "With Margery Craig-, on Elm' wood." "Then 11 you're going out now I'll drive you. It'a right on my way borne." She hesitated, and then laughed. "I ought to ttart getting uaed to Itreet cars and busies, but I'll wait till July. Thanks a lot In the car he put off bit bruskness like a cloak, "Listen here, Carol," bis vol co was earnest, "this Isn't going to be any bed of roses." She shrugged. "What 1st" Ing around Juna first, and It the found what she wanted they'd hold it tor her, especially since she'd probably have to sign a year's lease. He had half a dozen places listed that ought to suit her; be'd b tickled to death to take her around In the morning. Carol accepted promptly. A year's lease would be one more argument against the soporlflo effect of Mere dlth: one more link In the chain she was attempting to forge. Sh and Margery and Harry began tbeli search the next morning. Harry was In high spirits. He was a very definite type; easy-going and witty and Incurably enthusiastic, Not even the last tour years In real estate had quenched his gaiety, and In his presence Margery recaptured something of her earlier zest. The? spent most of the morning laughing. Between Inspections Harry kepi up a barrage of chatter. He had Just come back from a business trip to New York, and Carol suspected that New Tork must have enjoyed Harry as much as Henry enjoyed New York. He atopped the car before a bit apartment building, and his manner . changed suddenly.

"You may want to wring my neok," said Blake, "All right, then. Nothing, of tourse. uniy i nate to be your In itrument of torture." He gave up. The gosture of protest had at least eased his conscience. ue speeded up the oar and skinned inrougna changing traffic light. "The great American pastime," he grinned. -Heating the red light. . . .' She laughed with him. "That's ex ictly what I'm dolna. Isn't It?" "1 guess so, and I hops you make It, Where will you live, by the wayT" "I haven't an Idea. 1 want nnm. room apartment with a kitchenette ir i can afford it. I'm caught up on boarding houses. Later on 1 may and congenial spirit to live with me, Either Peachtrea or Pone Am i.n. they're the most accessible. What ooes mat sort of thing cost?" "Between thlrtv and fnrtv Hniir I Imagine In those sections. Rents are sun pretty reasonable." Both of them did menial arith meilc They arrived, wordlessly, at the same conclusion: that sixty or seventy dollars was a painfully small remainder. Blake felt Irrationally apologetic and Carol sensed lr "I've got a princely Income of iuiny or miny-nve dollars a month, she said lightly, to dlsnel an mia. giviuas on his part, "and that ought to airman tne butter and Jam." She didn't add that the Income would continue to go Into the family exchequer unless she found It really essential; he waa too obviously re lieved to learn of Its existence. He nodded. "Thank God for that. In that case you cat probably get along." They bad turnod Into the Him wood section, and Blake was look ing for bouse numbers. "On the right," Carol said. "The third house." He stopped the car and got out; held out his hand. "Till July, then." She gave him her hand. "I'd like to tell you how grateful I am, Blake. . , ." "Skip It Before long you may want to wring my neck." "Or you may want to wring mine!" They laughed. THE sensible thing. Harry Craig Insisted, was to look tor sn apart ment right now. There was a cer lu amount of shuffling and re-deal- swimming pool In the back, a gar den In the court, view of the grand new municipal golf course over there to your left, restaurant In the basement Pretty neat what?" "Perfect so far," Carol admitted. "But probably too darn neat for my pocket-book." "You'd be surprised." He led the way Inside and they entered an ele vator. "SIX." he tnlri the nnnrafn. briefly. KTUMBER 620 was a big living l room with a dee, bay window overlooking the golf course. Tbt scanty furniture had no ebaracter, but slip-covers, Carol was thinking, would remedy that and tbe rug waa a plain taupe Instead of the usual flowered atrocity, Thr walls were freshly done In a ploasant neutral paper. "It la nice, Harry. Now tell me the tariff v ry gently." Forty smackers And tor the money you can't tie It anywhere else In town." She calculated rapidly. Forty from one hundred. . . . But the place wat perfect for her, and she preferred pleasant quarters even It It meant less to eat Nothing bolstered ono'i morale and one'a self respect si much as go6d surroundings. What does that Include?" Heat and water snd refrlgera, tlon." I'll take It" Atta girl." He grinned st Mar gery. "1 do love a woman who can make up her mind. Come on. and we'll look at the pool and tbi restaurant." She signed the lease that morn- Ing. In view of her understanding with Blake Thornton a year's least was madness, but she waa desper ately tired of tanlty. If I lose my Job snd can't And another, she thought I'll quit struggling and go home to a pleasant decline. At least I'll have this oft my chest . . . Thst afternoon she caught a train for Meredith. Before her loomed tbt task of breaking her news to Mltly and the twins, and beyond that the future wat a book with uncut pages, written In an unknown tongue. fOnrvrtual. MJJ. by Uarian Slma) Carol, tomorrow, cuts the last tie that binds hr to Mercdittv Ralnbow Division Seeking a fitting name for the 43nd United States Infantry division, Gen eral MacArthur, the unit's chief of staff, suggested the name "Rainbow Division" tn denote the fact that It waa composes or national guard memoers irom each state in the un ion. Little did the men who accepted the name visualize how appropriate It waa to become. Strange as It aeems, over the field of action of every major battle or event during the world war in which the "Rainbow Division" participated, a rainbow appeared In the sky. The re-occurring phenomenon did fcot end with the wai, however, for at each annual reunion of the division alnee. a rainbow haa been plainly viaiDie.
