WlNTaaaaSaSSBSe reSTBRDAY: Henry "d L ells Pell are closer to leparsttnj over the ouMtion el Marie Un ion end her charm tha either of them would Wee to admit And now Henry hae daihed home to pick tip hie boo and take trara or Chicago, on oueinea, and Lu ella hae eugaeeled that they have eecond honeymoon. But Henry aye it can't oe done. Chapter IV y The Brink T THOUGHT It would be fun," 1 LuelU went on. "nd that we might get to b th Henry and Luella we used to be." "Alwayi the aentimental little woman, aren't you?" laid Henry. "I reckon so, laid Luella. "But I was under the impression that sentiment was a part of marriage. She shut the suitcase, and tight ened the straps. Then she straight ened. She looked Henry directly In the face, and asked: "In just what way have I (ailed you?" Henry was startled. "I don't know that you have failed me," he said. "I I suppose we're both to blame for the way things are. . . . I think sometimes, Luella, that we made a mistake that's all." You mean In marrying?" "In getting married Just when we did. yes, said Henry. He got Into fresh undershirt and shorts. "Maybe we should have tried be ing separated for a little while. . Found out how we feel about each other after living away from each other for a few months. . . . Pro ninmiitv nrobablv had something to do with the way we felt about things you know, being together so much as kids, and after we grew up. A pause, a groping for words, And another thing, Luella you don't seem to have any Interest in what I'm trying to do. "Then you do think Tve failed you!" Luella accused. She didn't wait for Henry's denial, but went on. "I am interested in what you do, and I do want to encourage yju, Henry. Really I do. I keep thinking that Marie has a lot to do with your interest in radio that Jf she wasn't in it you'd not care so much about It youraeii. Ana that is what makes me disagree able at times. If Marie hadn't used your song and asked you to do others forner. we we might have (one on as wa wore You were eager to make good with the real, tv people when we first got here. Henry. "What makes you think I'm not still eager to make good?" said HLueifla shrugged. "Oh, I don't know!" she said helplessly. "But vou don't have the same enthusi asm; all your enthusiasm seems to be for radio work. And I don't like the idea of you quitting the realty people it seems unfair, after the reel estate men got you up here." "That's a sentimental view point," Henry said. "And senti ment should be left out of busi ness. A mini's lot to look out for himself. This is not the first time you've brought up the subtect. Luella, and I don't like it I don't like the way you act as though I were being dishonest or some thins;, in considering a change." "I'm sorry." said Luella. She didn't seem to be getting any where at all Then suddenly she asked another unexpected ques tion: "Do you think Marie under stands vou better than I do?" "Good Lord!" Henry was grow. Ine more and more annoyed and uncomfortable. "But since you've Mme rieht out and asked. I think maybe she might Anywav, so far as mv work is concerned." "Would you marry her If you could?" "Oh, the devil. T.uella!" Henry flared. "Do stop asking silly ques tions. Let's drop the subject All we do is just go around in circles." "No. I won't drop it." said Luella stubbornly. "Now that I've fotten the courage to bring It ud m going on. Henry, would Marie be willing to marry you if I got out of the way?" Henry's Answer HENRY, who had sat down to tie his shoes, now looked up. His eyes were full of misery. Lit tle Luella May Brown, asking a question like that trying to be modern, trying to find a way out. For a moment he was tempted to take her in his arms, hold her close to him. But a vision of Marie swam before him; Mane, beckon ing, holding out exciting promises of a gay and thrilling life to gether fame fortune "Answer me, Henry," said Luella. "Yes." said Henry. "I think she would. Anyway, she feels that I understand her and her work, and she feels we ought to go far to gether In the radio world. "I see," said Luella And then: "So this Is marriage!" "Listen. Luella." said Henrv "don't sound so tragic. We haven't r separated or anything like that . . . Good, gosh, honey, you make me feel like a heell 1 that 1 we "Your suitcase Is all ready," Lu ella cut in. "I'll go fix a quirk sup per. I've got some cold cuts, and can heat some rolls." She walked out ot the room. Henry, still sitting upon the side of the bed. watched her. "Damn!" he said half aloud not knowing Just exactly why be swore. ... Tt waa Thursdar when Henry took the train for Chicago. On the fnllnwin Saturday Tommy Mcln. tyre telephoned to- Luella. "Let's drive out in the country," be said. "and get ourselves some sea-air. Winter'll soon be here, when ev eryone s snowed in. "All right. Tommy!" Luella said. Two days she had been alone, and today there had been no letter from Henry, although sha had been so sure he would write her as soon as he was settled. "It sounds grand," she said, trying, to put some gaiety into her voice, "m riA nut intn the country." "My car's parked down in front of the house," said Tommy. "I'll be up for you In half an nour traffic lams .permitting!" Luella was ready when he ar rived. She was standing out in front of the brownrtone building. "Because you're so eager to see me?" said Tommy. "Or because you didn't want me to come up stairs?" "Neither one," said Luella. "It's glorious afternoon, and I didn't want to waste any time staying inside." . "Let's drive out to tne earn Club," Tommy suggested. "I used to be a member there. I'd like to see what It looks like, now that everything's closed for the season. Darnit all, summer is so cock-eyed short up in this neck of the woods, and the winters so long!" Then, later, when he had parked the car outside the Long Island summer colony, and he and Luella were standing on the deserted board walk, he said: "Sorry we never got out here for a swim, Luella, but, never mind, maybe we'll be able to make it next summer." Next summer. Luella found her self wondering what next summer would bring. And, wondering, she was terribly depressed. Where would she be then? Where would Henrv be? . . . And Marie? ... And tommy? ... "How about some food? Tom my said presently. "I noticed a restaurant back a little way. May be we can get some seafood. I'm hungry." He looked down at Lu ella, loved the way the wind played havoc with her hair, the way it had whipped high color Into her checks. "How about you?" "I can eat" Luella said. "You know little me!" That's the Idea, Luella be gay, be flippant though your heart be in shattered bits. "This salt air does do things to a gal's appetite." Tommy Tries Again TDMMY gave her a quick look She wasn't fooling him, not bj a darn sight But he said: "Atta- firll" andled her back to the car. hey got in and drove back to th restaurant and got a table for two near a tall window, so that they muld look out to where the far- off sky bent to caress the restless ocean. They had smells, crisp oa con, French fried potatoes, lettuce salad. They said little until mey were having their dessert of appU pie and coflee. Then Tommy, watching Luella gaze out across the wild expanse jf gray water, spoke of the thing nearest hit heart "I promised not to mention love." he said, "but I can't help telling you, Luella. that you're lovelier than ever and that I'm still in love with you." Luella turned to look at him. He was, she thought, one of th dearest people she had evet known, and for one wild, reckless moment she wished that she could stop loving Henry, and tell Tom my that she would throw every thing to the winds, and come to him. But the feeling quickly passed She couldn't do a thing like that She wasn't the tvpe of woman who could so easily forget the promises she had made before th minister who had married her. I like having you fond of me Tommy." she said presently. "Bui let's not get back on the sublect of love." She finished her coffee and pushed back her chair. Let I take a brisk walk along the beach before we go back to town. Do yoti mind? "No. I'd like It" said Tommy. Thev got up and went out Luella took off her small hat and tied her bright scarf about hri head. It made her look like a little girl. Tommy thought and he loved the way her hair curled up over the scarfs edges. They walked along the sands until they could see the skyline of tang Beach. And it was then that Tommy caught her to him. "Darling . . . darling . . . h said, his voice husky with emo tion. Oh. Luella mv love. Luella went limp for a moment Then she freed h e r s e 1 1 Shi backed away, holding the scart which had become untied. "Tommy. Tommy!" sha said "You promised." "I know." Tommy said. "But 1 couldn't help myself. Luella. . . You looked so appealing so sort of frightened I I" He searched her face. "You're not angry with me. are vou?" "No, Tommy, not angry," Luells said. "Just sort of shocked hurt . . . She put on the hat which she hsd been carrying, and retied the scarf about her neck. "Corns on. Tommy, let's go back to the citv. It's getting late. It'll soon be'rtark." Thry returned to where Tommy had parked the car. They got In silent, shaken.
