CHAPTER XII "yHAT one," Kitty aaid scorn fully, as ahe was powdering her noes before going liome late that afternoon. Sha stared at Suo Mary In the washroom mirror. "Of course ahe had that order. I sew you speak to her and I aw her go in the old man's office with those papers. And I can guess just how surprised she was to discover that they were hunt ing for that one In particular, and how Innocent she acted. I bet they at her alibi up: about her being new and strange here. She's a cool number." Kitty - ' 1 nulled hnr rlrflmlnui excuse of a hat down over her black curls. "She's smart, but I bet she doesn't make the grade with young Hosa Clark." Sue Mary hid her smile. She . was glad Kitty was too engrossed with Vera and young Ross Clark to think more about Vera and the paper. That business had upset her more than ahe had thought Her head ached and the walk home seemed twice as long. She didn't want to go out that evening, but Joe called. It had been a week since they had had date and ahe couldnt refuss now. Once, with him she found her aelt twinging back again to th other side. All the problems al the office, all the enthusiasms ol the YP group somehow seemed trivial. Joe talked of vacation plans, of the simpler things that had once constituted her whole iif . With the war talk, world prob lems, and politics on everyone'i lips, Joe's plana for a camping trip up north, his attempts tc paint the Joys of fishing, and th pressure of his hands on hen when he spoke of the week's vaca tion seemed to give the world t different color. "Sue Mary," he said, "some . times don't you get tired of work ing in that office, and playini round with that crazy outfit? . sometime don't you think you'd oka to get married and have a eome of your own? "My work Is going along swell, he went on earnestly. "Why don't we pian on a wedding and be like ether people. We're living alone now and trying to pretend it's fun. Well, I don't think It Is. I want you and I hop you want me. Although sometimes I I sort of feel you find m pretty dull " "Oh, no, Joe. It's not that I are for you." Sue Mary pulled sis arm tighter about her. "I feel to safe, and aura of things when I'm with you, but then there's a ahole week with time on my tanas ana wnat Happens? I see ' ather people and my own life I seems drab. I want something to happen to me. I don't ust want to work at the office, com home ana ait and read all evening. "I don't think you're dull. After Pm with you I wonder about the then, because what you say Is ' sane, so true. And I think I 1 im in love with you but I'm not sure I want to get married yet, oe." "And you'll never be sure as long as you play around with Uios Reds." he said blttrrlv "Something will have to wake rou up to the fact that they'n au pnonies. But I don't know what it will be. You see, Su Mary, I think you are huntins for adventure. . . . And I thins rou believe you're half In lovt with thlt Nick." i ...-. e TJE was going away for a week so she wouldn't let anythini precipitate a quarrel. But hil words echoed to her mind. Hunt ing adventure, believ you an half in love with Nick. She supposed that was the waj It would look, and yet, she tok herself, this is more than adven ture: working at aomething thai Is worth while, helping people mj own age wno nave Drains ane charm, in a cause they are con vinced is right. And as for Nlch But that al ways left her confused. She trie to believe his attentions were thi same with the others, but flu couldn't ignore the look in hii eyes, the sound of his voice sayinj her name, the way he managed to take her home after the meet ings. The next day Sue Mary wenl to Natalie's after work. It wai hot in the studio bedroom and th girls tied back the faded window .drapes to catch the slightest pos sible breath of air. "I'd like to get out of here,' Natalie said In her low, huskj voice. She was in her white slit with her thick, tnfTy-colored hair pinned In a knot high on her haid. She wiped beads of water from the pitcher and poured Sue Mary a glass of lemonade. "I know where there's a grand apartment," she said, slouching in the chair near the window. "Big rooms and real windows not slits like these, and a view. But I can't afford tt alone. "Sue Mary, why don't you mov In with me? Heaven knows we'll b working together enough these 1 next few months, with the elec tion coming along and the VP campaign in full swing. I think it would be a grand idea." CUE MARY tried to think. She supposed Natalie was right Her own drab room was simply a place to escape from whcia one wasn't sleeping. Yet living with Natalie would be a strange experience. She looked around the room, at the pictures overflowing on the floor, books streaming from the table, clothes shoved in the closet and tho door that never shut; the tiny kitchenet with dirty dishes ever present on the sink. Natalie laughed. "Yes, I know what you're thinking. You're so precise, so tidy, that this must bring horror to your neat little soul. Veil, you can straighten up to your heart's content. "Why not try it anyway? I mean sharing an apartment. You won't hurt my feelings if you move when you cant take it any longer." And so it was arrenccd. They all had a hand in it: Vera pack ing pictures, records, papers, books, and Nick making endless trips between Natalie's old room, Sue Mary's, and the new apart ment And before she knew how it had been accomplished, they were settled. She got a thrill out of being able to move about in a room that was more than a cupboard. The twin beds in the bedroom didn't even crowd the space, and the big shiny bath with the deep tub, the shower with its runny curtain decorated with fantastle fishes, tli tiny kitchenet with its compact drawers, refrigerator and stove all enchanted her so that she was content just to atand and star about her. "We'll probably never get her out," Natalie told Vera. "She goes around with a dustcloth all eve ning shining things, and picking up after' me. My clothes hive never been hung up before and now I can't find anything. Sue Mary has them where they be long." (T Be Continued) OUT OUR WAY By J. R.
