. CHAPTER XXITt ;
TACK HANLEY had been Jn Sick
Officers' Quarter. A month
now. His urn hd knit besutl
1 fully, his rlbi were almost well.
Be could alt up in bed, but he
hadn't been Jn a wheelchair yet.
Commander Sloane believed In
doing things slowly. He had said,
"You want to fly again, don't you?
Take It easy."
Judy, who spent much of each
day there In the white room, was
happier than she had ever been
before. They talked of their mar
riage. "A week after you get out,
whenever that to!" She wouldn't
have big wedding, like Marvel's.
But she'd have all that mattered.
Her father, giving her away. Her
mother. Her friends she ' had
grown up with, on stations all
over the world. For their honey
moon, there would be a motor
trip, and a visit in Virginia with
Diane. The memory of Bill Bell
still lived with Jack. Bitterly,
sometimes. "He had a child.
Maybe it would have been better
if I"
"No!" Judy said. "No, no, no!
You mustn't talk that way. There
must have been some rea
something we cant see. YouTl do
wonderful things for the service.'
One afternoon when she was
getting ready to drive to the hos
pital, Magda Hamilton came in.
"Just got back from Bremerton
yesterday. The Texarkana and the
destroyers and everybody will be
in tomorrow.
She sat on the sofa. "We we
were shocked when the news came
about Bill Bell. That s the breaks,
I guess."
Then she said, "Have you beard
what happened up there?" .
Judy said, "No, I haven't
What?" , . -
"Your friend, Mrs. Campbell,'
aid Magda. "She didn't come at
first. Tommy said Dwight waa al
most outjpf his mind. Kept wiring
her. Then she showed up, a week
ago."
a a :
JUDY was Impatient Her lnter-
" est In Dwight Campbell and
Marvel was dead, she told herself.
They had their lives to live, she
had hers. She looked at her wrist-
watch. "I don't want to be late.
Jack waits for me. You know how
dull S.O.Q. Is."
Magda said, "She came In a
yacht, with a party of friends.
That man we met at her house-
warning Cary Tennant It was his
yacht" She shot Judy a specula
tive glance. "To make a long story
short, she and Dwight had an
awful row. In public On the
Trade, to be exact She said she
was going back on the yacht the
way I heard the story, and Dwight
said it was a disgusting way for
a married woman to carry on.
Something like that" Magda stood
up. "I don't want to keep you.
Just wanted to say that everybody
knows she's left him, and we're
all wondering if hell batch it over
In that modern mansion of hers,
or stick aboard ship."
Judy found no words. She and
Magda went out toeether. But ai
Magda got into her own car," sh
was smiling a little. As if she
knew what havoc her news had
wrought In Judy's breast
Judy turned the key In the igni
tion, stepped on the starter furi
ously. What difference did it make
If Dwight and Marvel had quar
reled? She had forgotten Dwight
Campbell was on earth. But had
she, asked a small voice Inside
her. Had she really forgotten? Or
had she only been too glad to sink
her torment into the ready balm
of Jack Hanlcy's love? He needed
her. He'd been hurt She had
worried about him, been grateful
he had come through alive. It waa
natural that her pity for him
should whisper to her wayward
heart trap her into believing it
was love.
ooo
OUT it was love. It was peace
u ful, and sweet and real. She
would marry him and have a good
life. She didn't care what Marvel
and Dwight dldl They meant
nothing to her!
But the image ahe had tried
hard to banish forever rose again.
Just the sound of his name could
bring it back. His eyes, the way
his hair grew. His splendid height
The touch of his fingers, burning
on her arm.
"No!" she said out loud. And
then she found that she was driv
ing past the white house where
he had lived with Marvel. It was
not on the way to the hospital.
How had she gotten here?
Furiously, she turned the car,
almost careening over a curbstone.
She drove swiftly to the hospital.
Her cheeks were bright with color.
She marched into the bare hall,
she entered the elevator. She
must calm herself. Jack would be
sure to see that she was upset . . .
He had been reading a book she
had brought him. He laid it aside.
"You're late!"
"You weren't reading! You were
Just looking."
"I can't help it" he said. "I
count the minutes. The clock
seems to stand still. You try lying
In bed, with nobody but a dumb
"She's a pretty nurse."
"She hurts when she starts after
those bandages." Then he asked,
"What kept you?"
"Magda Hamilton, back from
Bremerton."
"Ob,"
"Gossip, that's all." She would
not tell him about Dwight and
Marvel. She would not And yet
somehow, the words were saying
themselves. "Marvel Campbell ar
rived in a yacht Cary Tennant's
yacht"
, "The slick, dark-haired chap?"
"Yes. And Marvel and Dwight
had an argument Right on the
ship, the way Magda told it Tom
probably told her. The fools!"
0 0 0
JACK leaned back among the pil
lows. "Those two were due for
stormy weather. It won't help his
personal reputation file any to
have stuff like that in it" Then
he said, "So mat's why you're
you're "
"I'm what?" she asked quickly,
challenge in the way she said it
"I was just repeating meaningless
gossip." , ,
He didnt answer. '
She dropped her eyes. "Do you
think it isn't meaningless to me?
Do you think I care?"
"Judy," he said slowly, "I know
you've never really gotten over
him. Love's a funny thing. I
know how he hurt you, and I
know what a cruel, arrogant
creature she is. But just the same,
you never were able to ignore
them. You never wholly forgot
him. I'd be blind, not to know.
Sometimes, when you sat here,
planning the future with me, I
thought maybe I was wrong.
Maybe you did love me. But don't
you see, while Dwight and I are
in the same navy, my path and
his your path and his are bound
to cross. I'm not prying, I don't
want anything but your happi
ness. Judy, look at me. Tell me
the truth!"
Judy raised her eyes. Her lips
quivered, but she said steadily,
"Dwight Campbell means nothing
to me." And even as she said it,
she knew she was lying.
(To Be Continued)
' The sun makes its annual ap
parent north and south journey
between the tropic of Cancer and
the troplo of Capricorn. The word
"tropic" is derived from the Greek
word meaning "to turn," and at
each of these imaginary points,
the sun appears to turn and start
back toward the equator.
