QO CORNELIA know. Did that
mean, than, that everybody
knew? That the and Blake had been
ostriches with their heads In the
tend? Bhe winced, and tried to push
back the thought with the physical
activity of making coffee and toast.
She felt the weight of horror;
knew that she could stay In this
room all day and be mad by night.
She threw on her clothes with des
perate baste and tied, locking the
door behind her.
But the horror came with her,
through the lacked door and Into
the gray coldness of the outside
world. She boarded an uptown car,
and felt Its breath on her cheek. She
almost expected the conductor to
say "Two?" as she held out the
money for her fare.
She bought a dress, wondering all
the while If she could ever wear It,
and lost tbe black shadow tor a time
In tbe crush of eager struggling wo
men who bunted after-Christmas
bi rgalns.
She ordered lunch and made a pre
tense of eating It, then sought the
sheltering darkness of a theatre, to
lit staring blindly at shadows that
moved and spnke and pretended to
happened. How do yon know that It
won't open a lot of other people's
eyes?"
Cornelia smiled. "You don't give
me credit for being smarter than
the mob, do you?"
"Ob, yes I dol But ferreting out
this sort of thing hasn't got much to
do with Intelligence. Usually It's the
other way around."
"True. But I've seen two or three
people today, and I know none of
them has guessed. Tbe general ver
dict is: 'She never has been quite
normal, anyway.'
Tbe mention of Irma shattered
Carol's composure, so that she shiv
ered and turned her face away.
"Cornle, I I don't believe I can
stand It . . .
"Yes, you can," Cornelia said firm
ly. "You can stand It and eventual-1-
forget It"
"Forget that you've killed some
body?" "Oh, my Qodl" Cornelia said hot
ly. "I expected something better
than that from you. You didn't kill
her; It was her own rotten coward
Ice and spite that did It"
"No It wasn't She wouldn't have
done anything so desperate If she
hadn't loved him terribly."
"Ob, no?" Cornelia said scorn
fully. "She'd have done It Just as
quickly If she'd hated hlra. She
"You didn't kill herl"
suffer beautifully In gowns by
Adiiun.
She made herself see the Sim
through, then she boarded a car and
got off at the market nearest the
Sherwood. Cornelia, being Invited
to dinner, would expeot to eat Lamb
chops and artichokes, Qruyera
cheese and lettuce; these things at
least were real and permanent
Cornelia came soon after six,
straight from work, she said, and
looking straight from Park Avenue
instead. She took off her hat and
coat and went to the kitchen, where
she began expertly to fashion a
salad.
She talked lightly and steadily un
til tbe meal was done, and Carol fol
lowed her lead as best she could. It
they were to eat they must keep the
shadow at bay as long as possible.
But after dinner Carol made tbe
plunge herself, breaking through
Cornelia's laughing account of an
unruly customer,
"Cornle, why did you come here
tonight?"
Cornelia Inhaled her clgaret'slow
ly. "You know, or you wouldn't ask
that question."
"Yes. Tbe shock was In realltlng
that you knew, too. And that It you
knew, there must be a lot ot others
who did."
"N
TO. That was what I came to tell
you. 1 don't know how I
guessed, except that I realised what
would probably have happened to
me In the same position." She
smiled faintly. "I dont believe I
could work with a man Ilk Blake
and not fall In love with him. and I
didn't believe he could work with a
girl Ilka you and not do the same
thing. 1 wasn't sure, ot course, but
when this happened I couldn't think
of any other reason."
Carol started to speak, but Cor
nells broke In quickly. "What I
wanted to tell you was that nobody
has suspected a thing; so far as I
know, there basn't been a breath
that linked your name with bis. And
If there had been, I believe I would
have board It because she gr.
maced "I seem' to hear things
whether they Inlorest me or not."
"But you weren't sure until this
wasn't capable of love: you know
that Hate can make you Just as des
perate as love: hate and Jealousy."
Well, In either case wo drove hoi
to It"
Cornelia said more quietly: "Do
you mind tolling me what did bap
pen? I can Judge better If you do."
SHE told her, dully, of Blake's trip
to Florida and of his filing the
suit But not ot the Ironlo night of
his return: nobody, she prayed,
would ever know about that When
she had finished Cornelia nodded
vigorously.
"It there's anything shameful or
dishonest about all that I can't jee
It Good Lord, Carol, poople get di
vorces every day! It doesn't cause a
ripple."
"Not divorce, no. But suicide Is
another story. Don't you see," she
orled out "that lt'anot whether peo
ple guess It or not? That It's some
thing that would be there botweon
us If we lived a thousand years?
He feels exactly as I do about It."
"How do you know ha does?" Cor
nelia demanded bluntly. "You've got
to see Blake as soon as he gets back
Maybe he can reason with you even
If I can't"
Cornelia was probably right You
couldn't leave a thing like this sus
pended In midair not If you hoped
to keep vour reason. She agreed list
lessly. "Yes, I guess I'll hire to see htm
once. But not here: It would be
ure to be the one time he'd be see)
and recognised. 1 may get you to
help me out."
"It's what I came for," Cornelia
said sturdily. "And for goodnoss'
sake do it right away. Don't let the
thing eat your heart out first."
She stood up. "Get your hat.
We're going and play bridge with
the Gordons."
Carol spun around and her eyes
vera wet "Cornle, I can't see any
idyl" "You've got to." Cornolla said flat
ly. "The sooner you start getting
used to It the sooner you'll get ovei
it. Get your hat and stop talking!"

Uaven vs. White Owl
Once upon a midnight dreary, while
I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious vol
ume of forgotten lore . , .
Could It have been possible that
one of those "quaint and ourloui
volumes of forgotten lore" contlned
the "White Owl Ode" by the ancient
Chinese poet, Chla I, and that It was
this work that Inspired Edgar Allen
Poe to write hi immortal "Raven"?
Do that as It may, note the resem
