But there ie a complication Blake'e elder and eelfieh wife, Irma, will certainly re - fuee to give her husband a divorce. - Neither ie quite eure what he will do; right now they are at dinner. which eeeme unimportant but nee-eeeary. , Chapter SS FROM BLAKE . " A ND you ordered a. piffling dinner of sliced chicken and iced cof fee." Blake would never have believed, until tonight, that to small and un important a detail had lain all these months In his memory. Had he, be wondered, been falling in love with Carol even then? V "But I didn't get by with it . . ." Utter nonsense, all of it Nonsense so uncharacteristic of tbem both that they clung to It desperately, fearing the days ahead when they would be too beset for lightness. And after dinner: "What nowf An other movie?" Sbe knew his thoughts. I can't see you and bold you there, they said; let me take you home where I can be alone with you. . "I'd fall asleep, I'm afraid." ,' 1 hoped you'd say that. I wont etay long; you must go to bed ear ly. ..." Broken sentences that said only halt their thoughts. Sbe sat close to him In the car and remembered the night when she had shrunk from the touch of bis shoulder. Have I lost all shame, she wondered, and knew that ahame had no meaning and no place In a feeling as big as this. ' Inside the apartment they came together as soon as the door bad closed behind them. She slipped her arms beneath his topcoat in order to -,be closer to him, and thought with passionate tenderness: he's so terri bly tbln! If only I could take care .of him now. ' She drew away finally and snapped on a light. "I must call Marge and see how little Harry is." "Yes. Let me have your hat and coat." He put them away while she called Margery's number, knowing as if by instinct where they be longed. Poor tool that Irma we;, she 'thought, to have trampled tinder foot such a capacity tor tenderness and care. "Harry?" she said eagerly. It was back upon her now: all the anguish and drosd and waiting. "Yos. That Carol?" Harry's voice sounded as If he bed run all day. "Yos. Ir there any news?" "No. Just about the same. . , ." "But he's no worse?" "No, thank Cod. I've Just come bsck from there and they say we ought to know something by morning." "Will you call me then either here or at the office? I don't want to bother you." "Hlght," Harry was trying bard. "And thanks, Carol, for everything." "For nothing," she protested. "Goodnight, Harry," Blake said anxiously as she turnod against his shoulder: "You don't have to come tomorrow If you don't feel Ilk' it" "Of course I feel like It. There's nothing I can do unless he gets worse." "Ho won't." Nothing so tragic could happen, Blake felt, In a world es golden as this one. "Now come on and sit down a minute, then I'll go and leave you In peace." She said with deadly seriousness: "I don't bolleve I'd ever he entirely at poaco while you were away." His face glowed. "My darling! That's the loveliest thing you could possibly say." They went back, during the next hour, to the early months of their ac quaintance, recalling foolish, dis jointed things that had suddenly taken on a tremendous significance. At ten o'clock he stood up re luctantly. "I said sn hour sgo that I'd go home. You'll go straight to bed?" , "Yes." His concern was like a fleecy blanket around her. Ho said eagerly: "Csn I stop for you In the morning?" One of them, she thought, must flint, to common sense. "Dsrllng. you'd better not It will he bard enough to hide It In the office with out Inviting suspicion." "I guess you're right." He grinned the endearing, small-boy grin. "I'll snarl at you before the whole fores If you as It!" She Isughed. "You needn't go thsl far. For a lamb like you that would be equally suspicious." Ho kissed her hungrily and Unal ly let her go. "Goodnight Oh, dear God, I love you so. . , ." ON LA JOLLA BEACH SAM DIBOO. Oil.. Sept J3- (AP) Police Chief George Sears said to day Donald J. Haiell, 319-pound "gor- Ilia man." confessed he killed Ruth Mulr, 48-year old Riverside Y. W. C. A, secretary at La Jolla the night of August SI. Hazell, arrested September 4 dur ing the inquest Into tlw death of Mlas Mulr, was sent to the Califor nia state Institution for the Insane after his rapture. Sears said he was Informed by po lice officer Id Stotler and deputy He turned and left quickly, for tear he should be unable to leave at alL , HER first waking thought was . Blake; her second Marge and Harry. But little Hal was better; he had to be. She lay tor a moment with her face bidden, tasting tb sweetness of last night; remember ing how Blake had looked and felt The phone rang and she ran to an swer It Harry's voice said: "Carol!" and plunged into bis message. "He's better; his pulse and his tempera ture are down. The doctor says he ought to pull through. ..." She swallowed hard. "Oh, Harry, I'm so glad. ' knew be would. . . ." Her voice was shaking, so she added quickly: "I'll stop by the hospital this afternoon, tell Marge." , She hung up the receiver and went to get breakfast Five minutes later the phone rang again and her heart plunged. Surely little Harry couldn't have not In live minutes ... . Sbe said "Yes?" In a small fright, ened voice, and then grew limp with relief. Blake's voice, asking: "Did you sleep well, my darling?" "Oh." She sat down weakly. "Good morning. Yes, I did better than ever in my lite, I think. And you?" "I hated to sleep, because then I couldn't remember not conscious ly." "But my dear, you must. After all, there are a lot of days." ."I suppose there are. Well I won't keep you now. I'll see you in an hour." "Yes. Ooodby. . . . She wondered uneasily, entering the office, how well they could hide the miracle that had happened to them. I know it's written all over me, she thought; I hope he doesn't have to see me about anything. To bar great relief he did not speak to her during the day. But as she walked towards the carline an automobile drew up at the curb and a voice said laughingly: "Could I give you a lift, lady?" Happiness surged over her in a warm flood. She frowned. "I don't usually encourage pickups, but Just this once . . . and slipped in beside him. He laughed low in his throat How"d I do today?" "Beautifully. I felt as If I'd never . even been Introduced to you." At the Sherwood she said firmly: "It's my turn to cook dinner, so you needn't argue it" He grinned. "I wouldn't dare. But can't I bring over that steak you were bragging about?" "Yes, you can do that" He said: "You darling!" and then shook himself, "Get out, before I for get where we are!" Sbe got out hugging to her heart the thought of one more evening snatched from the clutching hands of Olympus.' DUT they knew, very certainly, tbat they could not he too- much together. The Sherwood was as In different and Impersonal as any city apartment house, but their friends might find tbem out When Porter Murray or any other acquaintance suggested sn engage ment she accepted promptly, and Blake, tor all the hunger in bis eyes, admitted that she was right On those evenings he made it a point to drop in on his friends or to Instigate a bridge game at his club. He abhorred concealment and subterfuge furtlreness had no place in his heart or In his love but he wanted with all the intensity of his nature to protect Carol from the loose tongues of a curious world. On the first Sunday they drove tar Into the country and left the car In a lane, to merge themselves with the actual solitude of the woods. The day was soft and dim, and pines stood In their own darkness, breath ing the Incense of their own needles. "Sit down, Blake, and let's finish tailing this out" Ha thrust his hands into the nockets of his leather Jacket to bide their trembling. "Must we drag problems Into Paradise?" "What better place could there be to lace a problem than in Paradise?" She found a great oak whose spread ing roots formed a resting place and he dropped down beside her and leaned his head against the trunk." "Have you written Irma?" she asked unevenly. "No." She might come home, he knew, to "put a stop to this per formsnce." "I'm going down there and have It out with her.
