CHAPTER XLV “Wasn’t that Curtis I just met going down?" Maisie puffed, out of breath from her climb. And then •he saw Joan’s face, all starry with happiness—- “ Did you make up, dearie? Did you? There, there—l knew you would. You just cry all you want on Maisie’s shoulder, I knew you had a fuss. I’ve been so upset . . . and now it’s al! right again—” “Yes, yes — all right, Maisie. Maisie, there’s nobody in the whole world like Curtis! Nobody. I don’t know why I should have him, he’s so wonderful—so loyal and good—” She clung to Maisie, burrowed her head in her soft shoulder. “I’m so happy—so happy—” So Maisie brought out the pineapple layer cake she had intended to save for tomorrow’s dinner, to celebrate, and Joan made orangeade to go with it, squeezing half of the juice into the sink in her excitement —“So happy—so happy—” For the first night in weeks she slept, dreamlessly, soundly, like a child. In the morning Maisie sang, as she beat up the eggs for the omelette. She could hear Joan whistling, as she splashed in her bath. “Well, thank goodness — that's blown over. .. . John-nee I You hurry up, you're gonna be late again!” But Curtis had no song in his heart. Nothing but worry and fear. All night he had tossed and turned and moaned in anguish. Hating himself for a coward. Hating Joan for making him a coward. Hating the world, and its wickedness. Hating the man, whoever he was, who had brought all this upon him. “I can’t marry her knowing she loves someone else," he thought despondently, “I can't make her my wife —I’d go mad thinking about it. .. . And I can’t give her up—l tried that —I can’t do it— What can I do?” He went to work haggard and worn, resolving to take the day, and tomorrow if need be, to think, to think of away out . . . But it wasn’t any use. Long before five s’clock he gave up and telephoned to her, planning a meeting, unable to stay away. She was so sorry he was ill. So loving and sweet and sympathetic, so pathetically anxious to please. ! Even Mrs. Barstow noticed it, Joan’s softened, chastened mood. I bghe’s going to be all right after i la.Il,” she thought, “Os course, they did quarrel — and she’s trying to make it up to him! . . . Well—thank goodness, he didn’t get one of those aggressive, modem flappers 1 . . after all, he might have done Worse!” And to Joan she said, “Remind me to go over the list with you, Joan —the invitations will be ready in a few days.” “What invitations?” Curtis asked quickly. “The wedding invitations, dear. Now don’t frown —I know you dislike hearing of the details, but these things are all necessary—” “I wish to goodness I’d never let you start it I hate a circus wedding!” “I dare say you do,” his mother •eturned, quite undisturbed by the ■utburst, “it is a masculine failing, lowever, you’ll have to endure it . . Joan, I was going to tell you >mething . , . what was it? Oh es, about the Bishop—l’m almost ire he can come. Aren’t you hapy? I do think it makes such a dis- ■ rence—” “But if Curtis doesn’t want a lurch wedding,” Joan said doubtilly, "couldn't we change our plans nd—” f "Mercy, no! It’s entirely too late, ou mustn’t pay so much attention • Curtis, dear—all men are pecu-

liar about weddings!” She laugned r lightheartedly. “I remember Cur- t tis’s father—the way he loosed on 1 our wedding day—nervous. llarr> } Fielding was best man—Curtis, you c remember old Mr, Fielding? He was years older than my husband —what was I saying? Oh yes, about > the wedding ring ... 1 thought they'd never get it on my fi n g£ r > 1 they were both shaking so. The church looked so pretty ...Im going to see about the roses for your 1 wedding—you can’t get much else 1 in June. I wish it were this month, < we could have daffodils . . ! Curtis listened in a sort of night- > mare, a nightmare from which he i was unable to wake. He ought to tell these two who were planning 1 that they would need no roses, no 1 Bishop, no engraved invitations. There would be no wedding. He ought to tell them, but he couldn’t 1 Perhaps tomorrow ... or the next 1 day. ... [ “Real orange blossoms!” he 1 heard Joan cry. “Oh, I think that’s ' the loveliest idea of all! And their t sweet dark leaves—don’t you love the leaves, Mrs. Barstow?” And his mother’s voice, “Os 1 course, I carried a prayer book and I just a few lilies-of-the-valley. It was considered very nice. But for you ... I rather think butterfly orchids and gardenias . . “Suppose I never do get courage > to tell her. and end by walking up 1 the aisle after all?” he thought in a 1 panic. The cold perspiration stood ’ out on his forehead. ... Married to 1 Joan . . . married to this girl who loved someone else. ... No—he couldn’t do that—- “ Joan!” he cried, “It’s no use—” They wheeled and looked at him in amazement, his mother and Joan. He whipped out his handkerchief and mopped his face. Heavens! He had almost shouted it That was no way to do it . . . there must be no scene. . .. He laughed into their startled faces, “Now see what your old wedding decorations have done to me—given me stage fright I tell you I’ll never be able to get up the aisle—” Joan’s hand closed on his, comfortingly. His mother’s voice came sharply, “Don’t interrupt, Curtis —we have so much to do! ... Joan, I don’t see how we can have more than fifty for the wedding breakfast And yet—’’ Quite suddenly he saw the way out. The plan formed itself, effortlessly, in his mind. * • • Joan felt surry for Curtis, waiting, not very patiently in a comer. WTiat a general his mother was, bossing everything, even Curtis. “A terrible mother-in-law shell be," Maisie had predicted. Joan thought of it now and wanted to giggle. Easy to laugh when your heart is light! Oh the relief of having everything settled, after the days of uncertainty and dread. The relief of a clear conscience at last, after all those months and months of fear, the gnawing, sickening fear of being found out. Now Curtis knew, and he still wanted her, still wanted to go on with the wedding plans ... so happy! ... so happy! “Let’s walk home,” she begged when at last Mrs. Barstow, flushed and important, decided that the few remaining details could be arranged without Joan. “Do you know how far it is?” . Curtis demanded. “Oh, but it’s such a perfect night • —wouldn’t it be fun to walk?” “All right, if you want to," he i agreed. She slipped an arm through his, ( trying to keep from skipping. “I could go floating right up into the . sky, like a balloon, I’m so happy!” i she laughed, “Oh Curtis— isn’t it a - perfect night? Did you ever see so

many stars, or such a soft little breeze- like a kiss Curtrt, would I disgrace you awfully if I xtssed you- would you mind terribly. It » quite dark!” She held up her face, laughing, but he did not seem t. hear, he was looking straight ahead, staring into the dark. “Curtis! Don’t you want to kis. me?" _ “What did you say, Joan? “What did I say? Oh, Curtis-— you’re a terrible lover—you don t listen at all. No, I won’t tell you all over again. Besides I want to know what you were thinking about, s® , important that you don’t even hear “Thinking about you, Joan— j planning something I think you 11 like.” “What? Tell me!” “But I haven’t it all planned yet, he objected. “Wait a day or two, then I’ll tell you.” He wanted time, time to think this all out. It must be done carefully, step by step, I there must be no hitches, no mistakes. “Oh, Curtis—please! “Well, it's about the cabin. How would you like another house party?” “I’d love it—” “So I thought.” “We had such a perfect time there at Thanksgiving. Do you remember, Curtis? The redbernes, , and the slippery hill with the pine needles . . . and the big fireplace with logs—Oh, I’d just lore to ge back. Curtis, why doesn’t your mother go up there oftener?” “I don’t know —no time I suppose i —too busy with clubs and things. So you want to go?” “Os course, I want to go, don’t you?” “Yes, and it will be delightful up there now. I haven’t been there in the spring since I was a kid. So when mother talked it up, or rather when I talked it up to her—well—l thought you’d like the idea,” he finished rather lamely. She took two or three little skipping steps because she was so hapf>y. "I think she’s awfully sweet t® et us have a house party!” He looked stern for a moment. “Now Joan, don’t go gabbling to mother about it, or we won’t have it—” “Why Curtis?
