After A
Chapter 30
Together
"AIN'T it the truth?" Webby
asked, as il she had read hii
thought "That's one who'll get the
cream every time while her betters
have to take skim milk. Miss Buff
sure made a mistake when she
hung Iris around her neck. Like as
not, she'll be wiring again that she
don t like Chicago
"I hope she does," the young man
aid through set teeth. "I only hope
she does!" He took Webby by her
fat shoulders and spoke determin
edly. "From now on or at least
until Mr. Carroll comes 1 m look
ing after Miss Buff, understand?
You're to bring me all telegrams
or call me to the telephone when
it's fixed. She's not to be bothered
with anything, least of all Miss De
Muth. Do I make myself plain
Webby?"
"You sure do," the housekeeper
agreed; and added, with a sidelong
glance to see how this addition
would be received, "and high
time, tool"
Buff awoke around one o'clock,
weak but free from pain and fever.
Tim would not let her talk.
"Wait till after the doctor
comes," he bade her. "I'm expect
ing him any minute now."
In the middle of the afternoon
two cars made their way up the
road: Or. Westland's and Tim's,
driven by Simons.
"Well?" demanded Tim anxious
ly when the physician came down
stairs. "Almost," Dr. Westland replied,
smiling. "She's been a pretty sick
girl, but you seem to have known
what to do. She's to stay in bed for
at least a week, have plenty of eggs
beaten up in milk and cream, let
alone you get that, Corliss? No
excitement of any kind. She's in a
rundown condition. That's why
this pleurisy hit her so hard. I've
given Mrs. Webb thorough instruc
tions, and I'll come out every day
if the weather permits."
"Hnw about wiring her parents?
They're in Arizona, you know."
"I'll attend to that myself. No
need to alarm them I'll tell them
o. As for you "
"I'm staying here until she's
well," Tim announced. "I won't tire
her, I won't do anything but stand
by in case she gets worse. You can
trust me. Doc!
Dr. Westland inspected him over
tne rims 01 nis spectacles.
"I believe I can, I hope I can!
You're not particularly needed
here, but maybe it's just as well
somebody besides the servants
should be in charge. I'll see about
having the telephone fixed at once.
That's essential. I've given her a
sedative I want her to keep as
auiet as possible for a dav or two.
Don't go into her room unless she
asks tor you. II she does, stay only
a few minutes and don't talk any
more than is necessary."
So began the fortnight of Tim's
second stay at the ranch. Buff did
little but sleep for the first few
days; sleep and sip the glasses of
creamy milk brought her by Web
by "Does she know I'm here?" Tim
asked the housekeeper wistfully.
Webby shook her head. "She
don't hardly know anything. She's
like a worn-out child. Sometimes
she goes to sleep while I'm giving
her tier egg and cream. But Doc
claims that's what she needs."
So Tim continued to tiptoe to his
room, contenting himself with see
ing that the house was kept warm,
the road to the highway open, and
the telephone in working order.
So Infinitely Dear
CHE can sit up a while tills af ter
O noon," Dr. Westland an
nounced at the end of the week.
"There's no fire in her room,
though " He cast a speculative
eye at the blazing logs in the living
room. Tim trembled with eager
ness. "Could I would It be all right
for me to carry her down here?"
The astute joctor hid a smile.
Webby reported that Tim's name
was often on the patient's lips in
her drug-induced sleep.
"I'll go back upstairs and tell her
you're here," he said after a mo
ment's thought Presently ho was
down again, nodding reassurance
to the anxious Tim. It's all right
She'll be expecting you. But she's
not to stay up longer than half an
hour, and ohe's not to be excited in
any way." He emphasized the final
warning and took his departure,
his smile growing broader as he
mused on the romance unfolding
beneath his eyes. "It's a disease
like any other," he chuckled.
"Rapid pulse, delusions, loss of ap
petite; but it's a form of illness
most patients welcome, and more
often than not convalescence is de
layed unti! a really permanent re
lationship has been established
Bless the youngsters!" said Dr
' Westland who would be sixtv
eight his next birthday and
thought ot Buff and Tim as barely
out of childhood.
Webby came down Importantly
t three o'clock.
"She's ready. Mr. Tim!"
It required "all his self-control to I

The clash occurred at a coal

speak quietly, even casually, to the
slim girl in the warm bathrobe
Her eyes were very blue in her
pale face, but the smile he loved
shone suddenly as she caught sight
of him.
"Hello, Tim!'
"Hello, Bulf!" Nice to find you
looking so well. May I " With
out waiting for an answer he
stooped and lifted her gently in his
arms, bore her down the stairs.
He wondered if she could hear the
pounding of his heart So little, so
infinitely dear and precious, and
safe for the moment in his keeping!
Webby fussed about her in the
living room. The big chair must be
close, but not too close, to the fire
A footstool beneath her feet a light
blanket over her knees. Was there
anything else?
"Nothing, Webby," the girl an
swered for herself. "I'm perfectly
comfortable, I'm grand just
where I am."
When the housekeeper with
drew at last, sending inquisitive
glances over her shoulder, Tim
pulled a cushion close to Buff's
footstool and &at down. He dared
not speak, he dared not let her see
his face. Dr. Westland had warned
him against exciting her.
"Tim!"
"Yes, Buff," he said huskily.
"Why why did you come? I
mean you didn't know I was ill,
did you? Webby said the telephone
wires were down."
He kept his eyes on the fire
"Let's not talk about it until you're
stronger. You've been a very sick
little girl, you know."
She was silent for perhaps three
minutes, a really remarkable feat
for Buff who was getting well
Then:
"Tim, I want you to know about
Iris. She's all right now, she's truly
happy, she's "
Electrified
(4 frisl" All his suppressed anger
' at the girl crackled in his
voice. "What do I care about Iris?
It was she who was responsible for
your illness. You wouldn't " He
checked himself, gulping down the
words which crowded to his lips
"Look here, Buff, we mustn't talk.
Not this first time, anyway. I'm go
ing to sit still and not onen mv
mouth until it's time to take you
upstair?. 1 Had my orders from Dr.
Westland this morning."
"All right," she agreed meekly.
The minutes passed, slow-footed.
To have her so close, so sweet so
gentle and friendly, and not gather
her to his heart demanded a self
control which required all his
strength.
He was electrified to feel the
touch of a small hand on his head.
"Tim!"
"Hush, my darling!"
"B-but am I . . . your darling,
Tim?"
He turned toward her, knelt
so that his face was on a level with
hers.
"I love you with all my heart
Buff," he said simply.
Her arms went round his neck
and she rested her head against his
shoulder.
"1 know I mustn't talk. Dr. West
land told me, too. But . . . but . . .
how long, Tim?"
Apparently he understood the
cryptic question.
"Ever since I saw you, I think.
Since the first moment you came
up the steps and spoke to me. I
seemed to know then that that it
wasn't only my money, and my
prestige as an nssayer I'd lost but
my heart, too."
Silence. The two before the Arc
had no idea whether it lasted two
minutes or two hours when they
nearn weuny s scandalized voice.
"Mr. Tim! So this is how von
take care of her. is it? I euess I'd
better get Doc on the phone. I guess
i a netter wire nir. Carroll. 1 '
Tim's shining eyes met hers
above Buff's golden head.
"She's mine now, Webby. II
there's any consulting to be Hone
I'm the one to offer suggestions "
He picked the girl up in his arms
"She's goins; back to bed. Oh, yes.
you are darling I can't have you
tiring yourself."
Webby followed close behind.
"And you ouclit to seen the kiss
he give her before he put her back
in bed," she said to Simons that
night. "1 guess them movie censors
would have tore their hair, it lasted
so long." Then realizing that she
nan been betrayed by excitement
and satisfaction into a somewhat
intimate speech with the foreman,
she added: "But who's got a better
right than them two? Going to be
married as soon as her Da and ma
get here from Arizona. Mr. Tim
wants to take her to Florida to get
her strength back."
At the telephone Tim was saving
unsteadily: "That you, George?
Tim speaking. Just wanted to tell
you to keep next Tuesday free: go
ing to be a party out here. Sort of
exclusive, too. Buff and her father
and mother, Dr. Westland and a
minister, Webby, you and Simons
and yes, I expect to be among
those present tool Guv, I'm that
happy " Embarrassed by his
own emotion he slammed the re-
reiver on its hook before the dazed
George could answer.
