CHAPTER XX
PAULA Bald to tha housekeeper,
"Fix mo up something to drink.
Something stiff. 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.
