CHAPTER XIII T INDA!" Startled out of hit calm, George Cameron wai grabbing at her. "Linda, you can't do thill" She eluded blm, ran up the iteps and yanked at the door. Behind her, the heard a tiny metallic sound as the platinum and dia mond engagement ring fell to the stone walk. Then she was stum bling inside, closing the door against him. She stood with her back against It, her breath coming fast, for a long minute before she went upstairs. George would not ring the bell, nor hammer on the door. He'd go away, quietly. She knew him that well. She did not realize until much later that her subconscious mind had acted against the will she had imposed on herself. "Break the engagement," Jimmy had pleaded. She'd replied that she couldn't And yet, almost before bis air liner had time to take off from the airport, that: blind impulse to tear George'a ring off her finger had egged her on. With a sinking heart, she re membered Daddy. If she didn't placate George quickly, Daddy would hear of this. He must not hear of it "No shocks," Dr. Logan had or dered. What a monster she was becoming! What a selfish, Insane fool! ; But on Monday, she could not force herself to telephone George. It was better over. No matter what happened, this much was finished. If only she could hide It from Daddy a little while, until he was stronger. She dreaded the time when Daddy would -ask, "Where's George? He hasn't come to see me." Yet when the day came only three days after that fatal Sunday she managed to answer, lightly enough, "He's been busy at the laboratory, I suppose." i Her father looked at her. "Linda, you're keeping something from me. I've tried to get It out of Rourke, but she's like a clam when she wants to be." The palms of her hands were wet, and her mouth was dry. No shocks, Dr. Logan had ordered. No shocks. "How funny of . you, Daddy, to think I'm hiding a deep, dark secret," she managed to say. "What could I possibly be hid ing?" "Vnii'va auarreled with Georce. haven't you?" The quiet voice was Implacable. "You never used to lie to me, Linda. But now, be hind your smiling, you're not the same girl. Can't you confide In me? Tell me what's wrong." CHE bent forward and touched the frail, veined hand. "Noth ing's wrong, Daddy. Really." "I want you to be happy," he persisted. "If you've found that George can't make you happy, that's all right I I don't mind as much as you think, my dear." He patted, her hand affectionately. "Sometimes I thought it was my Influence that was the only cause for your ever having become in terested in George. I used to won der if it was wise. Because you're so young and alive the way your mother was " Her mother. She had died when Linda was a baby. Daddy seldom mentioned her, his grief and loss had gone too deep. "George Is a fine man, Linda. You know what I think of him as a scientist and teacher. But when I saw you two together, some times, I had my doubts. I re fused to face them." He smiled in a wry way. "I told myself that your youth and beauty were not as vulnerable as they seemed to me. I told myself you were enough my daughter to value George's mind, his scholarly achievements. I was an old fool, my dear. You are your mother! daughter. She married me for no reason in the world except thai we loved each other." Linda was weeping helplessly before he finished speaking. How correctly he had read her heart) She ached with love for him. Bui there was more to it than this. Much more. There were still those ' bombers, black against the sky; still Marcia, with her trusting brown eyes. "I didn't want to lie to you. Daddy," she sobbed. "But couldn't bear to hurt you." "Darling, it will always hurt me more cruelly to have you keep the Iruth from me. I'm your father. Surely I can understand anything . that you feel is right . . ." She didn't feel that those planes were right - She hated them. This oiner prooiem was one she must face and fight alone. Daddy didn't ask her what had precipitated her quarrel with George. All he said was, "Come here, Linda." He kissed her fore head. Then he was holding her in his arms as he' had held her on those long ago days when she had skinned a knee or stubbed a toe. "My little girl. My dear, dear little girl." OOURKE found them like that when she came in with the Iray. "A fine mess!" she grunted. 'Get off that bed, girl." Grudg ingly, she added, "Go on, stay here If you want to. I'll be glad of a few minutes away from this room. He's been grumpy as an old bear!" "I won't be now, Miss Rourke," Daddy promised humbly. "I'm rery happy again. Happy and re lieved." "Get along with ye! What'd you think the child had done, robbed I bank?" "I'll run downstairs and get Tiberius," Linda smiled. "It'll be tike old times again." "Bring up the manuscript from Milan, too." Daddy told her. "I haven't looked at it since I've been In bed." The evening paper was lying on the hall table. Linda took that, too, on her way back upstairs. But Daddy waved it aside. "Give me the manuscript" Rourke threatened to stay out halt the night, seeing a movie over twice. "I always see them twice, so I can remember better." "I'll be right here till you get back," Linda said. She fixed her father's pillows, adjusted the bed lamp. She straightened and tidied the room for the night feeling a new and sweet peace pervade her. After Daddy was settled with his pre cious manuscript, and miles away from her, she sat down herself and picked up the evening paper. Bad news. Bad news. Sh glanced at headlines impatiently, wanting not to connect them with Uie Navy or with Jimmy. Suddenly a line of black type Jumped up at her. Linda stilTcned, her Angers crumbling the edges of the newspaper. She must bo dreaming! But she had certainly read Jimmy's name. Swiftly, her eyes were skimming over the column heads again. There it was. "TWO NAVAL OF FICERS KILLED IN CRASH." And under that, "LIEUTENANTS JAMES COOPER AND T. D. RY LAND INJURED AS CRACK NAVAL BOMBER BURNS."
