Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN 9l ti o4t?-V3gr Chapter 29 New Doubt SUE ELLEN knew now why Johnny was delayed why he had brought Deedora. Johnny had been with Deeaora. The thought sickened her. : It wai Ginny who brought the details ot the event leading up ta Riva accident . At first she determined not to e-e anyone who would mention Riv. when Aunt Car came in to t.ll hor that Ginnv was down aUirs. It was Aunt Car who showed a sudden spirit and de manded that she talk to Ginny. Ginny tiptoed in ana stood star ing at her wide-eyed. Her woeful expression aroused the first spark if imiurment in Sue Ellen. "Come in; I'm not dying. I'm Just lazy. I harl in see vou. Sue Ellen, before Toby and I left this after noon to be married. I am meeting him at one o'clock and we expect to be back Sunday. With all your added worries, 1 aon i expect you to break the news of my elope ment to Mother, and will leave her a note explaining every' Ginny continued: "Toby Is ao excited about our marriage, but terribly upset because he thinks he helped patch up things with vr.it and Ft iv. Can vou imagine anvone with a broken back not dy'in" . a . Ginny sat down on the end or the bed, "Why didn't he die?" she demanded. "Better men have died stumbling over their own feet. Riv's death would have sim plified everything. Here's Johnny Harris, as awell a man as any girl could get" "What about Johnny?" asked - Sue Ellen. "Why bring Johnny ' into this?" "He's In already, observed Ginny. "Why was he out at Dee dora'a last night and why did Riv rush away from there, tirunK ana quite insane with rage? "What dn vou mean?" "You don't know that Johnny Harris was at Deedora's and that was why Riv went into a regU' lar tantrum?" i "Hn An vou know all this? "Aunt Heppie heard it last night He left just a few minutes Slier niv ana louna mm. nc camr back and telephoned for help and he and Joe got him Into Johnny's car and Johnny brought him into town. He took him to Doctor War ren and the doctor had him taken straight out to Oak HiU in the aurbulance." Sue Ellen pushed the break fast tray aside and sat with her hands linked about her knees. "Who knows all this?" "Who knows? Everybody. There are stories afloat which would would make you scream with rage and die with laughter, if things weren't so serious. You are supposed to have rushed out to Oak Hill and told Riv you would get a divorce and marry him as soon as he recovered. Deedora threatened to kill you for taking her place at Riv's bedside. Rumors , that Riv will be a cripple. How ever, that's not true, for the spe cialist told Doctor Warren he would recover." Ginny grinned. Riv found one way to escape the draft." "Ginny how awful to aay that." Ginny shrugged. "I thank the Lord I never fell for his fascina tion. Look at you and Deedora." "Why me?" "Because you have a husband who's crazy about you and is wretched because he thinks you . itill love Riv Moore." , "Why should he?" "Why shouldn't he?" demanded Ginnv. With this remark. Ginny said he must leave, as she had a few things more to do and would call her when she returned. "The very best of luck. Ginny dear." Sue Ellen said soberly. "Thank you. Sue Ellen, and I Just know that everything will straighten Hseu out The Colonel Begging A ITER Ginny left Sue Ellen lay for a long time, ntting to gether what Ginny had told her. For some unrxplainable reason, Johnny had gone out to see Dee dora while she sat waiting for him at Magnolia House. Toby, misinformed by someone, had persuaded her to fly to Riv as though he were her lover on a deathbed, and with a heart sick and sore and bewildered, she had forgotten everything but her pitv for Riv and done something which Riv might understand and others would certainly misconstrue. No one mattered but Johnny. Did he understand? There was no opportunity to learn what Johnny thought or felt In the following weeks, he called he wrote. But the con versation hinged upon Belle Acres and her success in skirting the plans he had made for its re construction. At Christmas tie aent her a short fur coat with a note saying that the coat might be of no use in Mississippi, but when she came East the note stopped there. It was the one scrap of evidence that Johnny believed that there was a fulure which they would share together. On New Year's Day. Colonel Moore called. Riv was back from the Memphis hospital, where they bad taken him the same night she had rushed off through the rain te see him. Riv wanted to see her now. "I have no right to be with Riv," she told the Colonel. The Colonel looked old and shattered. Rumors about Tyler Springs hinted that he had had to mortgage Oak Hill heavily to finance Riv's care in Memphis. Others said that sympathizing friends had managed to hush up a hint that Colonel Moore was heavily involved at the bank. "Could you do anything to help Riv?" pleaded the Colonel. She shook her head. "Riv will have to learn to help himself." Good advice, but after the Colonel had gone she wondered just how she could apply that same advice to herself. Not by fretting and worrying and misin terpreting Johnny's actions. Work might help, and for the next few weeks she worked feverishly with the plan to restore Belle Acres to its former beauty. Johnny had thought he might return in January, but January passed with no mention of that promise. The weather was not warm, but clear and pleasant, and work was started out at the plan tation and Sue Ellen became ab sorbed in It and the desire to have as much as possible done before Johnny's coming. It waa a strange marriage. She tried not to think of it to busy herself so that the days would pass quickly until Johnny would come back. She tried not to har bor a single doubt about Johnny, although she knew that gossip had never ceased about the fact that Johnny had been with Dee dora on that rainy December night and that it was rage over this, as well as too much liquor, which was responsible for Riv's wild driving. It was not wise to dwell on this. It embittered her and made her uncertain of the future. She bought a car. Johnny had sent the check and told her he had put in an order with a local dealer. She should pick out a car and a man would teach her to drive. After that she drove all over the county to sales Bnd auc tions, and at last Belle Acres be gan to take on character. The workmen finished the re pairs on woodwork and painting the first week in February, and the first furniture was moved in. Then there were trips for drap eriesshe worked now in a fever of impatience, with one idea. When Johnny came, he should meet her at Belle Acres. They would be together there and talk together and reach that perfect understanding to which she looked forward. Wedding T7ARM days came in February. The nights were chill but the sun was like a spring sun, brieht and clear and hot on her neck when she superintended the landscaping of the great sweep of front lawn and puzzled over the clearing of the tangle of brush and brambles In the rose garden. Finally she turned the rose garden over to Aunt Car's super vision. Aunt Car seemed to blos som as she worked; she took on weight and her pale cheeks col ored a rosv pink. "Aunt Car! You're beautiful." Aunt Car blushed. There was something puzzling about her confusion. A few days later Sue Ellen heard the reason. Aunt Car had received not one but many let ters from Johnny's father, the man she had loved so long ago. He was in Washington and planned to come South tofsee her. He was eager to renew fneir ac quaintance and meet Sue Ellen. Aunt Car confessed all of this one evening when she slipped in to Rue Ellen's room. "1 don't dare tell Pleas," Aunt Car said guiltily. "Aunt Car you still love him!" "He says that he has always loved me." Then John Harris came. Tall and grey haired, with bright blue eyes in a fare as lean anil tanned and unlined as his son's. Even Aunt Pleas unbent and showed little surprise when the an nouncement came that John Har ris and Aunt Car planned to stand up together in a little Episcopal Church and be married one week later. "But Aunt Car he's practical ly a stranger! How can you know you'll be happv after all these years?" demanded Sue Ellen. Aunt Car was trying on the dress in which she would be mar ried. Grey, like her hair, with soft touches of fur. Her evps were clear and shining as a girl's. "She has no doubts," thought Sue E'.len enviously, even before Aunt Car said: "I love John and he laves me. That's all I need to know." Johnny wired congratulations and regrets. He had hoped to at tend the wedding but he would be in Tyler Springs the following week. The next week! There was so much to be done. After Belle Acres was almost ready, the rains descended and ruined all the lawn and put an end to work until the storm was over. Rain and more rain, a steadv, miserable downpour which lasled for a week with no sum of ces sation, and with the rain all the old doubts returned. Whv be so sure that Johnny loved her?
