1 " 1 M . . boo Si-C bbi- SERIAL STORY - OF BRIGHTNESS GONE BY HOLLY WATTERSON : OKSgUXH TANGLED WEB CHAPTER XIV CANDACE hurried down th . rubber-tiled hallway , to the telephone at the tar- end. . She said, "Oh, Martin," happy at the ound of his voice,. "I'm o glad you called." , "You won't be when you hear what I'm calling for," Martin said. "I'm afraid that I can't see you tonight after all." ....... The faint uneasiness Galea' Writs had engendered turned Into sudden fear. She said stiffly, "No?" "You sound as though you think I'm a polecat, and I feel like one for disappointing you. But I've been having some trouble In neu rology and the prof agreed to take me and a few other fellows in the aame boat and give us a workout tonight-" She stood there, her elation gOiio oiid a bick UliEfioliiSSi iu . iii place, answering nothing. "Hello? Hello?" Martin's vole called anxiously. "Listen, Can dace, if you want me to HI cut it" - "Oh, no," she said quickly, "go of course. I want you to study, you know that" , "You're an awfully good kid," be said gratefully. "Candaee," his voice had a muf fled sound; she knew that he had put his lips doss to the trans mitter so as not to be overheard by others there in his house. "Darling," he repeated, "darling, darling. I wish we were already married. I wish we were married right now" Things were suddenly all right again. She clung with her fingers to the shelf under the telephone, steadying herself against the weakness that seemed about tto overcome her. Her eyes involun tarily closed. She whispered, "I do, too, Martin, I do, too " Martin came back into the room after his phone call wearing an expression of angry gloom. He jumped when Peter greeted him. Peter said, amused, '"I'm just your old roommate, remem ber?" . Martin grinned sheepishly. "I didn't know you were in." .. He went into the bathroom and closed the door. Peter heard the drone of the electric shaver and the snlash of the shower. Peter had seen his' father that day; tilings appeared to be look ing up a bit for him and he was eager to tell Candaee. When Mar tin finally emerged and was dress ing, Peter inquired, "What about Candaee? Is she coming here first, or are you meeting her somewhere?" . Martin looked up sharply from his careful choosing of a -tie. "She's not coming in tonight. Why?" "Oh, Just some family stuff I wanted to tell her. I thought this was her evening off." "It is. But I've gotten to bad with Hapgood, somehow, and he's stuck me for a session tonight," Martin said shortly. '. ; '' Hapgood was the neurology prof, and tough. No wonder Mar tin was carrying a chip on his shoulder. . : " . TITARTTN had been gone only about five minutes when Mra, Prosser shouted upstairs that there was a call for him. After she had relayed the message that he was out, she shouted up again. "The ladyil talk to you, then, Mr. Fra. tier." Peter ran down, expecting it to be Candaee. He called cheerfully Into the phone, "Hello?" and high, young, quite unfamiliar voice at the other end said, "Mr. Frazier? This is Faith Harts- home." "Yes?" he said politely,. In. a tone that invited her to go on. Faith Hartshorne laughed a lit tle.. "We met at the tea, remenv ber? Martin mentions you so often that I feel as though I know you awfully welL but I can tell you don't even remember what I look like." Martin mentions your so often, Peter s mind repeated. He an- trwered, hoping his voice wouldn't sound as stunned as he felt, "But I do indeed. You're the tall blond girl with blue eyes and a dress to match, tastefully, decorated with tea stains." ' ' "That's me. All but the dress: that's been put into my memory museum." Under that brittle tone she sounded absurdly young. "The person who answered just now i your landlady, wasn't it? told me that Martin isn't in. Is he likely to stop by, do you think, before he starts to meet me?" Peter said dryly, "I'm afraid I don't know that. I don't always know what Corby is up to." She laughed. "Do you feel that way, too? But that's part of his charm, don't you think, that lav mccountableness?" She didn't wait for an answer, fortunately. "If he should come in will you tell lum that I've just missed a train and I'll have to wait a halt hour for the next one and may be a bit late? I thought I'd catch him in plenty of time." She resumed her grand lady lone. "I've asked Martin several times to bring you up with him, but he always claims to have for gotten to ask you, or he has some other excuse. You might speak to him about that" "I'll speak to him," Peter pronv Ised, Brunly. He hung up the receiver slowly. He thought of Candaee sitting alone in her room, loving Martin, trusting him. and his lace con. torted with sympathy. He began to swear softly, savagely. fPHE Instant Peter saw Martin A when he came In he knew that Fnilh Hartshorne had told htm of her call. He had been waiting tip for Martin, getting a grim amusement out of at least this part of tea situation.- Ward and Davis were both asleep and he had closed the sliding doors between tne rooms so that they 'would not be apt to hear any possible argu mentfollowing a pattern, PeUr was sure,, for all the world like that of a' wife grimly suspicious but trying to prevent her children being disturbed. Peter had tried to cherish a faint hope that perhaps Candaca knew about this girl, that she had known about tonight, in spite of Martin's lis to him; but Martin's attitude made short shrift of that "I suppose you've been putting two and two together and getting something really big," Martin said. "It don't add up to no tale lor Uny tots," Peter said. Martin shrugged. "I coma ex plain, the whole thing easily enough," he said, "If I eared to. I don't I don't owe an explana tion of any conduct of mine to you. ;. "Not to me, as myseny- reier said, "no. You wouldn't have to .anyway, I know witnoui Deing told what yoirve oeen up to. Faith Hartshorne, the daughter of the chairman of the board: that speaks for itself, doesnt it?" His voice was heavy with contempt "Who you kick in the face during your climb up the ladder of suc cess Is your own dirty business, not mine except where Candaca is concerned. There it is mine." "I don't- suppose you'll nave sense enough to stay out of this," Martin said. "What are you going to do?" "Do? rm not going to do any thing. At least for the present. But you are. You're going to Can dace and you're going to tell her everything. What happens after that depends on her." 'Brave talk." .Martin sata. sneering,: "brave talk. I don't sup pose I can convince you that it'll b better for Candaee, easier tor her, If you let me manage things in my way?" "Feller," Peter said, "I nave watched you manage tilings in your way; and in my opinion, your way stinks." (To Be Continued MUSIC GETS HIM SOUTH BEND, Ind.
