I CHAPTER VI
T JNDA never boforo spent a sum-
met Jlko that one, She was a
working girl now, and there was
Bo more traveling east to spend
weeks house-partying on Long
Island or the Cape with school
. friends. .
' Linda was a working-girl with
limited time and limited money.
' The invitations came from the
' east, and Wllda Jennings begged,
pleaded and coaxed Linda to "quit
that foolish Job and come and have
good time,'' t , i " . ,
, But Linda was havltag a good
. time. And she didn't think her job
foolish. She pored ' over the col
. . limns of news she turned out daily.
V worked anxiously with the paper's
V photographer and learned the thrill
- ot a good Job well done.
And she had fun. Fun with Pete
Gardiner. One time they went to
carnival, and Pete proudly pre
sented her with his trophies
. horrible wriggling doll, a cotton
.' navajo blanket, two canes and a
' Huge box ot inedible candy.
4 Pete learned to play tennis. There
Was no servant to keep the Bourne
' courts in order, but Pete and Linda
made a game ot it Pete taught
Linda to swim and, laughing, sput
tering, choking, she clung to him,
not knowing that to touch her was
a form ot sweet agony for him.
a
TTK dldnt know about Dlx, but
he did know about Linda, and
lie told himself he "wasn't getting
to first base." Lots ot elrla had
. made It clear to Pete how they I
felt about it and Linda showed
none of the symptoms. But she
apent almost all her tree time with
him.
There was the time that they
went to a state fair and Judged
(Jus hogs and jellies with Impartial
If Inexpert Judgment. There was
. th time they spent a day beside a
mall stream talking, talking all
.day of books and plays and Pete
told her tales of newspaper trad!-
lion, but never that his heart beat
faster at the sonnd ot her footfall
or that a shadow on her face was
. like a cloud passing over him.
Did Linda know? What woman
wouldn't have known? She tried
to pretend that It was not so, that
Pete was her friend, that tbeir as
sociation was to him what It was
to her a pleasant companionship.
It was only when she spent those
quiet, comforting evenings at home
with Fete and his mother that con
science smote her and she felt she
was being unfair to him. But she
had so little, she depended on him
for so much that she could not let
him go. And, since he did not tell
her that he loved fier, she couldn't
fay anything to let him know how
he felt
pOR she had only Pete and her
letters from Dlx. ' The letters
Were few and like water one
dreams one is drinking when one
Is thirsty, it did not quench the
thirst Dix loved Rome. He was
tudylng with Gaetano. He thought
he would try for a singing role in
tt London production. Opera took
too long. He had met some amus
ing Russians. He hoped she was
"having a good time." That was
all. No more of caring for her. No
mention of that last night No
Word of the future.
I And yet Linda wrote her heart
put to him and then tore up the
fetters. But finally her loneliness
nu love ior mm came 10 aommate
tier letters and on a cold bleak day,
lone of those October days that
flaunts the coming death of the
season, mere came a letter irom
- Dix in answer to hers.
: "We didn't know what we were
piking about" be said. "It was
only a few months ago, but it
seems like years, Linda, and I
think that we were caught up In
an emotional wave with my leav
ing and all that. I suppose you
feel the same way. We've been
apart now for a long time. You
have a Job you like, and I'm In
this music thing pretty deep. It
isn't fair to either of us to be
bound to anything as vague as my
future." .
It didn't matter what else he
aid. He didn't intend to come
back to Linda.
. The letter Linda burned, but not
before she knew every phrase by
heart and every phrase weighed on
her heart like stones that pressed
Into her and surged up into her
throat, bringing the tears to her
eyes. . .-
She couldn't work. She had to
work it out tor herself, but she
couldn't do it and keep her mind
on her Job. She asked for a vaca
tion and got it Then she got out
her party clothes, like countless
girls before her, and, with a new
Wave, a determined smile and a
heavy heart, set out to Join Wilds
at the Jennings' camp.
THERE were boys on the party
and music and gayety. It was
like the good times that Linda
used to have before Calvin Bourne
LIIIaJ lilmanlt ont tltttt , nafl nt
her life came to an end. Once
more Linda bad breakfast in bed
and sat up far into the night, lis
tening to gossip with Wllda.
The fortnight came to' an end
and she faced the future with no
more hope than she had had when
ho ran away from herself and
her Job.
But on that last night at the
'Jennings, Linda laid her emotions
and the facts she had to face out
on the table ot her mind. She was
CO and she loved Dlx. Dix did not
Jove her and he had moved out of
her life. ' Therefore, Bhe would for
fst htm. . . .
And, when she had decided thnt
she packed away her parly clothes
and sent a wire to Pete Gardiner
telling him the hour her train was
arriving.
Pete was at the train. ; ;
"Glad to see me? Miss me?" Bhe
asked, sincerely noi; meaning to be
coquettish.
"Terribly," he Bald to both ques
tions. "Are you glad to be back?"
"Terribly," ' she said, and for
some reason tears glistened In her
dark eyes.
The tears did It "Linda, will
you marry me?" Pete said, mean
ing it but not meaning to say it
Suddenly Linda saw so many
things. She saw how polished were
his boots, how smnrlly pressed his
old tweed suit. She saw the flor
ist's box in his hand and his heart
iu his eyes. She saw in Pete the
mirror of herself as Dix must have
seen her. .. - ' .
"If I could be sure, you meant
it I think I'd say 'yes,' " she told
him.
