CHAPTER V
fORA!, heard but little of the
first 20 minutes of the weekly
assembly program. Her eyes were
focused on David, sitting between
Professor BendorfT and Professor
Maxwell, on the platform. Four
days had passed since their quar
rel and he had not recognized her,
outside of monosyllabic words in
the classroom, in all that time.
She tried in vain to catch his eye.
to smile at him . . . give some
token that she. at least, had not
changed. He did not see her, or
If he did, ignored her.
"Why has this had to happen?"
Coral thought. "Why did we quar
rel when we have been so happy?"
Her reverie was interrupted
then, and she stood up automati
cally with the people around her,
at the president of the university
came out on the platform. When
she sat down she was more and
more curious. There was some
thing exciting to be revealed this
rooming. There must be. Presi
dent Norton appeared at the stu
dent assemblies but seldom. What
was it? She waited eagerly for
turn to speak.
The deep, resonant voice of
President Norton broke the si
lence in the auditorium then.
"I have an announcement to
make," he said. "One which will
be of deep interest not only to us
here at Elton, but to the country
at large . . . indeed to the whole
world. Through the brilliant and
untiring work of three of our fac
ulty members, men in the depart
ment of chemistry, a commercially
feasible process for the extraction
of gold from sea water has been
discovered.
"It has been many years since
a discovery of such significance
has been made here at Elton, not
in fact since the electrolysis ex
periments of Professor Sanderson
in the early years of this cen
tury. I am proud, indeed, to pre
sent to you the three men who
through their genius and industry
have Drought fame to themselves
and thus to Elton, and who have
given the world a gift of greater
knowledge; Professor Arthur
Maxwell, Professor Andre Ben
dorff and Professor David Arm
strong." The big auditorium boomed with
applause as the three men rose
somewhat diffidently to their feet
Coral, her hands clasped together,
her eyes alight with pride and ex
citement, could not applaud. Her
pride and happiness were too
great for thaL She did not won
der now why David had not told
her, but thought only of his
achievement, of how wonderful it
was that he should stand there,
young and confident, the profes
sional equal of these men, his eld
er! in years and experience. David
... her David . . . was a great
man. And he would be greater
till. This was only the begin
ning. He would go on from this
lo greater discoveries ... to a
higher, single prominence in the
precise world of science he loved
SO well.
a
PROFESSOR MAXWELL spoke
1 brieBy, thanking them for their
applause, explaining in greater de
tail the work the new process
would expedite. Then Professor
Bendorff spoke in his polite, ac
cented English. Coral heard
neither of them, for her eyes and
her thoughts were riveted upon
David. Now that the first flurry of
excitement was over, she was
wondering why he had not told
her of the discovery before the
public announcement, as he had
promised to do. Had their quar
rel gone so deeply into him that
he felt she would be no longer
Interested in his work?
Her mind stopped there as
David rose to add a few remarks
"He's 80 conceited nv li
, u
pleases."
"Guess lie'll slny a bachelor
has pleased, so fur."

to tnose already made by his co- 1
workers. She studied his fare in
tently, trying to find there some
trace of an emotion as he looked
toward her unseeingly. "If he
would only show something," she
thought desperately. "If X could
see love or hate or even contempt
in his face I would know where
I stand. But that stony look tells
me nothing. When he looks in my
direction his face goes dead, loses
even the sign of recognition. He
acts as if I were the one person
at Elton to whom he was a stran
ger."
She started from her reverie
as the orchestra began to play the I
Alma Mater. The students stood
together singing, and Coral sang.
too. The song, dear to her and
full of happy memories combined
with the thoughts of a moment
ago. and her eyes filled with tears.
As the music ended and she left
the auditorium with the rest she
wiped her eyes. "I'm a sentimental
idiot," she thought to herself.
"Everything will come out all
right I know it will." But even
these words could not banish the
chill in her heart as David walki
down the steps past her withou
speaking or even turning his head
in her direction.

VS she walked along the gravel
path which led from the as
sembly hall to the building in
which her next class met. Donna
Joined her. "I suppose you're feel
ing pretty set up about your boy
friend. Coral," she said.
Coral looked at her. a little sur
prised, for her tone was friendlier
than it had been since she had
discovered the marriage license.
She had enjoyed lording it over
Carol making her do lessons for
her and cover up her misdemean
ors, but now her tone and her look
showed her eager to be friendly,
to make up their differences. Coral
smiled. "Of course I am." she said.
"Who wouldn't be proud."
Donna spoke curiously. "Well,
even at that, you don't sound over
enthusiastic. Have you two had
a fight or something? I haven't
seen you around together much
since you came back from vaca
tion.
"David's been awfully busy, you
know, working on this," Coral put
her off.
"Of course," Donna said. Then,
"Give me a fll-in on this dis
covery. Coral. You know how stu
pid I am. I don't seem to under
stand just what it's all about."
"David didn't tell me the proc
ess. Donna." Coral could have
bitten her tongue ouL Now Donna
would know they had quarreled,
would mock her.
But Donna was thinking of only
one thing. Her voice was wheed
ling. "Oh, Coral, he did. too. Dont
try to fool little, old Donna. Come
on, palsie, don't be so mean. Let
me in on the secret. I want to
understand all about tiiis business.
I'm tired of seeming so stupid to
everyone."
"Donna, truly, I haven't the
dimmest notion about that proc
ess. And if I did I couldn't tell
you until the permission to do so
was given me. In a think like this
one must be awfully careful to
avoid the theft of the process."
Donna's gentleness fell from her
like a cloak. "Coral, I want to
know that process. You tell me,
or you'll wish you had!"
'I swear I don't know it.
Donna!"
"You're a liar," Donna spat out,
"and some day maybe you'll wish
you'd told me." She ran angrily
ahead into the building, leaving
Coral staring concernedly after
her. Why was Donna so anxious
to know that process?
