"MARY FAITH* I I I Burton COPYRIGHT, 1931, BY KIHG FEATURES SYHDICATE, 11YC.

SYNOPSIS Mary Faith, young and comely orphan, is secretary to Mark Nesbit, wealthy, young, business man. She informs Mark that she is leaving her position to marry Kimberley Farrell, handsome young lawyer, to whom she has been engaged for some time. Invited to Kim s house for dinner, Mary Faith is greeted coldly by his mother. Later. Kim startles Mary Faith by breaking his engagement affß asking for the ring. The next morning. Mary Fahh informs her co-workers that she is not to be married. She asks them to take back their presents. CHAPTER VIII At half past three Mr. Nesbit left the building to go to a bank directors’ meeting. He did not get back to the office until six o’clock. “I'm sorry to keep you like this,” he said, putting his head in at the door of Mary Faith’s small room. "Do you mind staying a little late? I'd like to get my desk cleared tonight.” "I’ll be glad to stay,” said Mary Faith, and she meant it. His words were like a reprieve to her. All day she had been dreading the evening meal in the River Street house with the Brock girls watching her with their X-ray eyes. A boarding house was so public. You couldn't keep even your sorrow and your humiliation to yourself if you ] happened to live in one. It was Half past seven by the time she had finished the last of Mr. Nesbit's letters and bad lo'ked her desk for the night. She was getting into her raincoat when he opened the door of her room once more. “It’s raining.” he said. "I’m going to drive you home.” “I don’t mind the rain, Mr. Nesbit. 1 often take walks when it’s raining. I like to slosh through puddles." “I’m going to drive yoa home." When she went downsta.rs a few minutes later he was standing in the front doorway, waiting for her. Outside the gray closed car that he drove stood at the curbstone. They got into it. Mary Faith leaned back against the cushions, her eyes on the wet glitter of the streets as they rolled along. The pavements were black and gold, and the lighted shop windows were like giant-size magic lanterns throwing their colors out into the darkness. A few days before she had lingered before them on her way home from work, enchanted by the lovely things that were on display in them. Enchanted by the snow-white electric ice boxes, by the carved and polished furniture, by the Oriental rugs and the bowls and boxes of Chinese brass. Now she turned her eyes away from them. The very sight of them had a certain power to make Iter heart ache. . . . She was back at the typewriter and the filing cabinet for good. -- “It’s almost eight o’clock and yon haven’t had any dinner," Mr. Nesbit suddenly remembered when they were halfway to River Street. "We'll go somewhere and get some.” Mary Faith shook her head quickly “No, thanks.' she answered. “Mr*. Puckett always ha> Agnes put some dinner away for me when I’m late. And I’m tired I'd rather go straight home if you don’t mind." The din ng-room windows were dark when they drove up before Mrs. Puckett's. Mary Faith let herself quietly into the house, hoping that she would meet no one on her , w*y upstairs. But as she closed the tront door Mrs. Puckett called out | to her irom the parlqr.

"Mary Faithl—Didn’t 1 just see you drive up in a gray closed car?” Mary Faith knew that she had seen her. Whenever an automobile stopped before the house Mrs. Puckett hurried to the front windows. She had the ears of a fox and eyes in the back of her head. “Yes.” Mary Faith came down the hall and stood between the ruby velvet curtains that hung in the doorway of the parlor. "That was Mr. Nesbit's car. He brought me home tonight, Mrs. Puckett.” He never had driven her home before. and Mrs. Puckett knew it. Her eyebrows shot up under the iringe of her pompadour. "Oh—hot” she said. “So that’s it! So that’s why we aren't getting married tit two weeks! 50 that’s why we've changed out plans! We have a new beau!” Miss Allie Brock raised her eyes from the game of solitaire that she was playing on the marble-topped table. "It looks to me like a case of ’off with the old love and on with the - new’,” she remarked archly. “That’s ■ the way things look to me, Mrs. Puckett” If that was the way things looked to them it was a blessing, said Mary Faith to herself. And in her heart she thanked Mr. Nesbit for driving her home. "Good night, everybody," she said and escaped from them before they could ask her any more questions. Her room was unbearable to her that night filled as it was with things that reminded her of Kim. The books they had read together. The pink-sprigged dishes and the etching that she had bought long ago. The scrapbook of recipes and household hints. His picture in a leather frame on her desk. His picture. She picked it up and stood looking at it for a minute or two. Then she opened the drawer of the desk and laid it face-downward under some old letters. » And for a moment she stood there, pressing her hands against her heart as if she were trying to deaden the intolerable pain in it. Once during the night she woke up. In the darkness everything came rushing back to her—ill the unhappiness of the past twenty-four hours. For one black moment she knew she was sick of herself, of her life, of everything. . . . Then the merciful weariness of utter exhaustion came over her again and she slept until morning. • » * September was blown away on a gale that stripped most of the branches in Ilaltbnorth Tark and tore loose one of the green shutters outside Mary Faith's bedroom windows. Halloween came, and there were little pasteboard Jack-o'-lanterns on the tables in Mrs. Puckett's dining room. > Thanksgiving Day brought the first snow and filled the house with the rich odor of sage dressing and roast turkey. The year before Mary Faith *> a <l gone to the Thanksgiving E>ay football game with Kim, chrysanthemums on her coat and windblown roses in Iter cheeks. This y ar she went to church, : alone. The words of the beautiful service : for Thanksgiving kept coming back : it.to her mind all that long lonely • holiday: "He healeth those that are ; btok.cn in heart.

in heart. ' txa; ua. iter lirst anguish over losing Kim had settled down now to a dull and steady ache. Once again she could pick up a book or magazine without seeing Kim's face swim across every page. She could hear the shrill ringing of the office telephone without telling herself that it might be Kim. wanting to talk to her. Sometimes after work she went to the moving pictures with Jean Bartlett and found herself actually enjoying them. Slowly, slowly, she was learning how to live her life without Kim A little after nine on the first morning in December, Mary Faith stepped into Mr. Nesbit's office and found it empty. At ten o'clock when Dan Bassett came upstairs to see him about some orders it was still empty. This was unusual, for Mr. Nesbit was a person of punctual and orderly habits. At nine every morning he walked into the office. At half past fire he left it. On Wednesdays he lunched at the Rotary Club. On Saturday afternoons he played golf at the Blue j Valley Country Club if the weather was fine. If it was not be played handball at the Athletic Club downtown. His life was ordered with beautiful regularity, and Mary Faith knew it “I’ll sign those orders for you, Dan,” she said to the shipping clerk. “But I wonder where Mr. Nesbit is. It’s not like him to be late, and not to telephone.” At eleven o'clock he did telephone from his house in Blue Valley, thirty miles away. “I've hurt my ankle, Mary Faith." he told her. “The doctor says I'M be laid up here for a couple of weeks. So I’m going to have to ask you to bring my mail out to me. Better bring along your typewriter and anything else you need. Loft is on his way in to town to get you. Anything you want to ask me about?” "No, Mr. Nesbit,” answered Mary Faith, who always signed routine checks and orders and looked aTter things in general when be was not at the office. Fifteen minutes later Loftus, his colored chauffeur, came walking into her little room with an umbrella hooked over his wrist. He carried her typewriter down to the plumcolored limousine that stood waiting in the street and held his umbrella over her carefully as she crossed the icy sidewalk. “Dts is sure bad weather for drivin’," he said to her as the car found its way through the traffic of the streets. “I never knowed Mr. Mark to have an accident until dts mornin'.” He shook his head. “What happened to him, Loftus?” “He tipped over in his car—de little gray one," the man explained. “I seen him drive out de garage and pretty soon I heard a horn tootin’ out by de gate. It kep* on tootin' : and pretty soon 1 goes to see what's wrong out dere. And dere's Mr. ■ Mark's car throwed over in de ditch i and him settin' on top of it. He I made de curve too quick, he say.” The Blue Valley road was like a I frozen river and Loftus drove over • it slowly and cautiously. It was al- ■ most one o'clock when he turned i into a gravel driveway that ran along between high hedges ot evergreen. At the end of it stood a long low house of field stone. Smoke rose • from its chimneys, giving promise of t warmth and comfort within.
