They still teased her little 'about Denny. "Personally, I think 'they re a boon in this wilderness. But 'to hava not only the little boy next door but his papa, settin up with you four days out of seven" They're probably thinking of elop int together with Marvlin." Eve re- 'tor ted. "As a matter of fact, I had a letter from Denny not long ago, and ,he said I suppose you re flirting with old Peter.' " They both laughed. Peter was so Invincibly his wires adorer. "All Is discovered!" he laid. "Well, if I ever did fall for anybody but Marylin, I promise It would be you. Eve." "Very handsome of you," said Eve absently. She thought she heard the front bell jangling. You could hear it from the rear portico. She ran In, through the center hall, threw the door open. There he stood, casual as If he had gone only yesterday. Denny, unchanged. The suitcase, . the gray-suited long slim body, the , smiling green eyes, the boyish thrill . lng clutch of his arms as he cried out 'wJth joy at seeing her after so longl "It can't be real It doesn't seem real" he murmured, kissing her thirstily. "Oh, Eve, I got to feeling maybe you were just something I'd dreamed " ' They stood holding each other close In the sunshiny long hall. Denny presently glanced about and said, "Where'a the army? Any hope of our , being left alone?" "Oh, darling, they're all as cere monially In hiding as if you were the prince i a tn Aladdin. Marylin and Peter even volunteered to get din ner." "That's the way to treat your board ers. Gosh, precious, I simply couldn't bear the idea of your drudging &way in this big house. But you look as fresh and smart and lovely as If you hadn't turned a finger. How did you manage?" "It hunt been bad," Eve said. Teter Insists on a cleaning woman twice a week for the sweeping and scrubbing. The Blessed Dividends turn up in a minute or so now. you know, and he's going to pay me for : aH the cleaners himself, they say. For the rest of it. Uncle Henry does twice . too much of the cooking and cleaning. Breakfast and lunch aren t anything, of course, except for him and Judge, and they do their own. We take turns about dinner. Jin t your girl friend we little organized" '"She's the bravest thing on earth Denny said fervently as they went up to the room she had prepared for him. Eve was puzzled by his attitude of extravagant pity; she had liked it in the-'-country except for his being awsy! She sat in the old "patent reciter wnue ne admired everything. "You went and dug It all out for ( we, you blessed child?" "Well, I had to dig something, and feu said you liked it" "She won't admit her devotion. Well, I'm not like that. I'd dig subways u you said you nxed em "There's some draining Uncle Henry was.talklng about in the mead ow-piece," said Eve mischievously. "The minute supper's over . , , Together And In Lore TpHEY were together. They were In a love. It didn't matter what non sense they talked excitedly. After six weeka of separation, they were in the same house. "You know, it's worse for me than for you. Eve, because you aren't at the office. When I went by your cub! ele today, I thought you wore going to be there, and then It was Miss Hare, with her plump pleface and her neat gray bob, like an ad In the ubway. I wanted to strangle her." "That's no excuse for strangling me instead. She disentangled herself, flushed, and retreated to the doorway. "Come on, I want to show you the lawn and the fruit garden. There will be simply millions of strawberries." Denny, decanting a suitcase on the bed, said, "My own, don't say you're going rural on me: She was dashed for a minute. Then ehe realized that she had been getting ridiculously wrapped up In her house and garden. She laughed, returning and perch' lng on a chair arm. "I had to do some thing to occupy my mind, with you off in the wilds hunting for fame and fortune! Denny, did you get it?" His face darkened In the old quick boyish way. "No, darn m. I didn't. Bill had to let well and strong and I'm bark on the old measty job." Eve stared at him CULT INVESTIGATION KW TORK, April (Vi rvllBht Jcw.it. rnr.r hi$h ehooi uirl. as btB ..rved with . .ubpntnu to sp pr April 31 b(orp a Uw Aiif fwt.ral gnind Jur; lnr.,tlnUttg the our of John W.

"But all isn't lost, lamb, t cried on old Mitzi the minute I landed and she's been working the old rab bit's foot, it seema, right along, about the Cleveland publicity job. You should have seen the dinner party she pulled last night! Fourteen people and an extra butler in to wait She put me next George Cleveland's mamma again and I think I made a hit." He began to laugh. "And what grandeur! Different wine with every course like a novel; and after dinner she sent me out to unlock the wine closet for more whisky; and what did I see sitting up but one of those printed trays that give you good advice brand new! It said Hock with Soup. Sauterne with Fish, Champagne with Welsh Rabbit, Whisky with Baked Beans and so on. And there were all the glittering guests sitting round impressed as anything and Mittie-May had just mugged it up that P. M-!" Before Eve could say, "But Mr. Cleveland comes here nights and over most weekends " Marylin and Peter, avid for news of the city, were on them. "We're starved for gossip," Marylin said, kissing Denny and settling down on the bed by him. "Don't hold out on us. Den, here in the wilds. Has Herndon's secretary still a hopeless pash for him and la Dick Mldgett's little Russian still a princess, or did she turn out to be a Red? . . ." And that was Eve and Denny's last moment alone. Dinner was hilarious, If you could call it dinner. Peter was an expert on stew; they had that, baked potatoes, and baked apples with whipped cream. 'Too bad we didn't ask George and Georgie," said Marylin. "Gosh, I wish you had asked the old man over," said Denny. "Eve says he'i quite settling in." "Weekends. Georgie is the origins' settler." "Grand!" said Denny. "Maybs they'll be here tonight and X can vamp old Cleveland." "The first nignt with Eve, when we Were going to clear out of the parlor so tactfully? Oh, fie for shame!" said Marylin mischievously. 1 "Well, we need him, said Eve laughing across at Denny. George Interrupts A Song . I THE Cleveland did drift over in I their Innocent and accustomed I way. Mr. Cleveland had been playing j off a tournament; he detailed it at 1 length to Peter, that most beguiling of. listeners; George went into the back parlor as usual, where the piano and the radio and the little center table and Judge and Uncle Henry were. He was hard at work presently ; on mysterious sheets of calculations, i while the old man and child played i checkers. The r eatherstones and Mr. Cleve land and Denny In the front room by the fire went at contract. Denny wai a good player. Eve deliberately left them alone and returned to the check er players. Denny would have hlJ chance with Mr. Cleveland and a better chance, he must see, than Mitzl's elaborate maneuvers could ar range for him. "What are you at, George?" she asked idly, a hand on his shoulder. George, pencil in hand, looked up at her, smiled briefly and kindly and said "Mathematics of genetics." "Will it disturb you if Eve sings a bit, George?" Uncle Henry asked mildly, as he asked two nights out of three, when Judge had triumphantly won a game and was obviously too bright-eyed for chances of sleep. "She won't sing loud." "No, It won't disturb me," George said. He laid asldo his papers and leaned his hend back In the old-fashioned chair. Eve knew what Uncle Henry wanted the old Scotch songs and the Stephen Foster songs her aunt used to sing when she was small. She sat down at the tiny green piano. Installment-bought, that had been the pride of her city apartment. Uncle Henry behind her turned out the lamp. The half-light from the other end of the rooms was enough to show her to them, her hend drooping a lit tle, murmuring songs she knew by heart, her green dress flowing round her. Judge came over and nestled against her on the floor. In spite of the disappointment about Denny's Job, she sat there omong people whom she loved and who loved her; she was in the house she had always loved, she realized now. She went on singing softly, there in the half-light. Denny was here. Denny would see tomorrow, that he must go straight to old Mr. Cleveland In spite of Mltzi's specious bullying argu ments. . . . Spring, young in love Eve's voice swelled a little, sweet and clear and happy, In one of the old songs Uncle Henry liked. , . . 1 lot'e you truly truly, dear, Life has no orrou life hat no fear . , . George's chair made a noise on th floor as he rose abruptly, "Look here. Dad, you have to b starting your tournament match a! nine tomorrow," he said, crossing te the front room, while Eve's hand. dropped to the keys in surprise George wasn't apt to do this sort o' thing, he loved her singing. "Yes. yes," Mr. Cleveland said a lit tle ruefully; he never liked to be hur ried. But golf was sacred; and pres ently the two were gone. (Copyright, t9S7.
