And bring an other package of clgarets. After that I don't want to bo disturbed not by anyone." Her directions wore followed dis creetly, and In silence. "Why dont you say something?" Paula shrilled wildly, her taut . nerves snapping. "Didn't you hear the nowsT Scott's married!" Tea. I know," Charlotte told her. "I'm sorry." "SorryT What are ' o sorry about?" "I'm afraid he's made a mis take," Charlotte said quietly. "He had no business getting married when he's just beginning his prac tice." "Of course he hadn't" Paula gulped down the strong drink and made a wry face. "He'll probably regret It," Char lotte said. No one knew Paula so well as her housekeeper, who had devoted herself to spoiling Paula, catering to her every whim, for years. "All right, now. Go out and let me sleep." When the door closed, Paula flung herself down. Deep, terrible sobs were smothered against a pil low. She told herself that she hated Scott. She never wanted to see Mm again! The paroxysm over, she lay staring with glazed, paln flllcd eyes at the beautiful, ornate room. It might have been different, she thought. If she had allowed Scott to see what was In her heart in stead of hiding her love. She had been so afraid of losing his com panionship that she had accepted crumbs the confidence and affec--. tlon he gave her. But she had never let him look Into that secret place of her heart, filled so long with nothing but him. "I know every mood of his," Paula thought desolately. "It will take her years to know him as I do. And yet she walks off with him after a few months and marries him!" Perhaps if they had not gone to the club that afternoon, he would not have met Dana. Or if Dana had not had some misunderstand lng with' Ronnie Moore this wouldn't have happened. , Maybe ... maybe ... there were those terrible pains in her head again. They always came when Paula was emotionally upset. More terrible than ever . . . blind ing her with pain. Setting her crazy. " She got np and staggered to the dressing table. From her purse she took a small key, which she fitted into a Jewelry case. From , the jewelry case she lifted a small box. For a moment, she stared at the little white pilL She was re membering that quack doctor's words. .He had been called in one . night at a hotel where she was staying. He had given her one of these pills, withholding the name from her. It had brought relief from pain almost miraculously. . For a price, he had finally revealed the name of ft. But he had said - "I warn you to leave this alone. It means hellish consequences." fttf the day Dana and Scott re turned from their honeymoon. Paula had gone shopping, looking for a wedding present. She considered silver and china. But she didn't know the patterns they preferred. She doubted that Dana and Scott had even selected patterns. Marrying so suddenly, , they couldn't have planned any. thing. She decided on a beautiful and expensive lamp, the shade designed In an elaborate Oriental pattern. She bad completed this part of her shopping expedition and was pre paring to park her car before un dertaking some other errands when a roadster pulled out from the curb. Paula recognized the occupants. Ronnie Moore and Dana! After the first shock, Paula greeted them gayly. She felt ex cited. Here was Scott's bride, back from a 10-day honeymoon, and al ready meeting Ronnie downtown. Deep In her heart a voice whis pered, "Patience, Paula just have patience!" She could almost bear the words, singing themselves aloud. 'I'HAT night Dana Bald to Scott: A "I went shopping and Ronnie brought me home." "That was nice," Scott said. He was standing by a window, looking out. Dana thought his face seemed sober, troubled. His voice had sounded grim, too. "You don't mind, do you?" Her ' voice faltered a little. Scott wheeled from the window. "Groat heavens, nol" He laughed. "But you look worried!" "I am worried," Scott admitted. "It's Mrs. Wilklns. One of tha prettiest, cleanest operations I ever performed. And now something's happened and the Incision must be re opened. There's no accounting for things like that." "Who Is Mrs. Wilklns?" "Mrs. Wilklns Is a ,very Impor tant person to you and to ma My first surgical. In this town. It would mean something to have trouble set in." He added, "Then, too, she's a nice old lady." Dana felt an impulse to laugh. Slio had been so conscientious. nerving herself to tell Scott about that accidental meeting with Hou nle. And he hadn't even been In lercstod. It was hard to decide which was worse a jealous hus band or a husband who wasn't even mildly jealous. Packages began to arrive next day. Soon the small apartment was overflowing with boxes, as Scott's friends and friends of the Cameron family sent good wishes In the time-honored way in the form of packages from jewolrj toros and gift shops. Dana found It an exciting pas time, opening the packagea with Scott. Despite his teasing, she Btnunchly refused to untie a single ribbon alone. "It wouldn't be any fun without you," she said. They already had faced the per plexing problem of where to put these gifts In their limited quar ters. "Gosh!" Scott exclaimed, "If this keeps np, we'll need a house. Maybe I made a mistake giving up the old place." "We'll find places," said resource ful Dana. "And you didn't make a mistake. Think how nice it will be this winter without a furnace to bother with." e TVEVER, never would she let Scott A' know of that first, deep disap pointment she had felt wnen he had brought her to this home. This,- said Dana, her arms lifted high to Scott who was stand ing on a chair, packing wedding gifts on a high shelf, "Is the pen alty for marrying such a good-looking and popular doctor." Paula's present, which Dana called "Light from the East." was one of those that was not packed out of sight. It looked very grand, and oddly out of plaee. In the mod est apartment. Paula had dropped in the day before and then dashed home for a beautiful Oriental tapestry and two gorgeous vases. "I have no earthly use for them since they don't match the scheme of my place," she said. "So please use them, Dana." Neither did Dana think they matched the scheme of her apart ment, but to refuse was out of the question. She watched, with mis givings, as Paula tacked the elab orate tapestry above the couch. Sana didn't like It She didn't like the Oriental vases, or the Oriental lamp either. But what could she do about It when Paula was obviously trying to be friendly? Nancy breezed In presently. "Where's the Incense?" she had asked. "And the teakwood and the carved ivory and all the rest? 1 must say, I wouldn't have sus pected yon of anything like this. Dana." "Panla brought them. She seemed nxlous for us to use them." Dana (aid doubtfully. "I'm afraid they make this living room look pretty awfvJ." "Smooth as silk," Nancy com mented. After a moment Dana realized Nancy had not been talking about the living room. (To Be Continued) OUT OUR WAY BY J. R.
