CHAPTER XXIX
IN THE morning, Nan brought
breakfast to Deborah in bed.
"Nan, how do you suppose
Fred will explain hid smash
up?" Deborah asked anxiously,
as she sipped her coffee. "Alter
all, he'll have to give some ex
planation for that wrecked car.
I'm afraid our hope of keeping
the incident hushed up will be
Impossible."
"Bell probably ten the same
story that be told Kenny last night
that you grabbed the wheel and
made lum lose control of the car
when he made a pass at you." Nan
shrugged. "Well, what does it mat
ter? Let him say that. It's better
than letting people know the
truth."
"Yes," Deborah agreed. "1 cer
tainly don't want to broadcast the
fact that he tried to kill both of us.
What a furor that would tartl"
"It's not going to be easy for yon
to meet him In the post office this
morning."
"Mo, but it wont be any harder
than other things I've had to meet."
"Well, not every girl has an ex
suitor try to kill her and then goes
off to work blithely the next morn
ing." '
"Here's one who caul" said Deb
orah, swinging her legs out of the
bed and feeling for her slippers,

T nee late that morning, looking
considerably the worse for wear. He
earef ullr avoided Deborah, busying
himself with work at the opposite
end of the room.
"Well, at least you've freed your
self of Fred," Maud remarked to
i Deborah. "I doubt whether hell
.ever annoy you again. He knows
that I know what happened. He has
shot me several apprehensive
lances, but I Just stare at him as
though J dldnt know him. I think
Ooorg suspects something."
Deborah sighed. "Probably the

Deborah hastily backed away, fos
she saw Oeofl coming Into the post
office. Then, a moment later, she
heard him speak to Nan.
"What's this about your sister?"
he asked. "I beard she was In an
accident last night,"
"Well yes. she was." Nan re
plied hesitantly. "She had a quar
rel with a young man, and he lost
control of his car." -
"That's not how I heard It,"
OeofT said curtly. "I heard that the
fellow tried to kill her. If"
Deborah quickly stepped back to
the window. "Nan Is it necessary
to discuss my affairs In a public
place like the post office?"
"Sorry. Debbie." said Nan.
Oeofl cam forward. "What
about it, Deborah?"
"It was nothing." she evaded.
"Anyway, there's no need for you
to concern yourself about It."
His dark eyes flashed. "I shall
make It my concern if any one at
tempts to harm you."
BY afternoon, rumors about the
accident were flying thick and
fast. People wandered Into the post
ottlce to stare curiously at Deborah
and Fred. However, Maud's sharp
tongue discouraged any one who
attempted to ask questions.
"This is a post office, not a clear
ing house for gossip." she told one
questioner tartly. "Do you expect
us to hold up the mall while we
satisfy your curiosity?"
"I Just wondered," mumbled the
questioner.
"Keep on wondering I"
The next day. Fred failed to ap
pear for work. During the morning,
his mother phoned to say that ha
had left town to enlist In the Navy.
Maud laughed when she heard the
news. "That ducking he got must
have given him a taste for the seal"
Both she and Deborah were
greatly relieved that he was gone.
A mousy little man came to take
his place, and the post office set
tled back Into its humdrum routine.
One evening toward the end of
the week, Nan told Deborah that
Tony Marvin had left for Canada,
but she showed no evidence of be
ing upset over his departure. In
stead, she quickly dropped the sub
ject and started talking of her plan
for going to Chicago in the fall to
look for a Job as a model,
"Mrs. Taggart says she win
recommend us to an agency." sh
said. "We have some savings, Deb
bie, and we could sell the house,
couldn't we?"
"Sell our home?"
"Debbie, dont you want to make
something of yourself? Don't you
want to go some place that Isn't
dull and slow like Little Harbor?"
"I love Little Harbor," said Debo
rah. It was true. She hated the
thought of the confusion of a big
city. However, she could Imagine
Nan In that setting could Imagine
her loving It, becoming successful
there. For Nan's sake, perhaps she'd
better agree to go, for Nan was too
young to go alone.
Nan said, "You know, Debbie. I
sometimes think that all you want
out of life Is a man. You're a hang
over from the days when girls
thought that love and marriage
were the beginning and end of
everything. You're trying to find
the prince In the fairy tale. But
Ufe Isn't like that nowadays. Result
you get hurt, badly hurt.
"Take me and Tony. Tony wants
to go to war, and I want a career.
Marriage would handicap either of
us. If Tony had developed too seri
ous symptoms. I would have dis
couraged him. Better for Tony, bet
ter for me, the way things are."
Nan paused, then smiled wryly.
"Easy to talk! I don't think that
way always. I have my romantic
moments, too. Oh, skip HI"
"Well," said Deborah, "well see
what we can plan for the fall. I
wouldn't want to sell the house, but
perhaps I could rent It."
"Debbie you mean it?" Nan
asked eagerly.
Deborah nodded.
