CHAPTER FORTY-ONE I He sat opposite her now, a ematt, nervously energetic man, with crisp i gray hair and keen, penetrating : bltM eyes that smiled at her from ! behind silver-rimmed glasses. “I wonder if your husband has ' ever mentioned the fact that I have i asked him to take a short trip abroad with me?” He sat back in his chai* and asked the question quietly “W hy, no,” she answered, "he certainly never has.” “I thought not.” Maynard continued to smile at her. Then he went on speaking in the clear, concise voice, which he had cultivated ysars before and which kwd proved vary useful to him ever since: “I've been urging your husband to take this trip with me for two weeks, Mrs. Northrup, and he has proved as obstinate >ts the proverbial mule. Now I’m depending on you to convince him that it’s the sensible thing »ads. I have te make a flying trip te London aad I’m going to run down to Italy— I’ll only be gone a matter of about six weeks and the trip is just what he needs. He’s looking badly, not fit at all. The salt aw will do him ne end of geod. I don’t mind telling yea that I have no deswe te lose a successful young a-uther on the very eve of discovery, ss to speak. I esn-sider it gssd bu-s-iaess for him to go acse-'-s at this time.” Me paused a seeend, then continued with a sudden quick, disarming grin: “All this is a bit beside the point, Mrs. Northrup. To be quite honest with you. I am more than ordinarily attached to this young ma® of yours. I’ll get a perfectly selfish but genuine delight out of his company. I’m a rather lonely individual. I’m afraid, and it’s not often that people attract me. I’w> going to be tremendously disappointed if you cannot convince your husband that he ought to go with me. He has some crazy idea that he can’t afford the trip and that he ought not to leave you I think yen will ss« it differently.” “I certainly do, Mr. Maynard.” “Then I can plan on his going?” “Absolutely.” Stanley’s eyes were shiniag with excitement. No one knew better than she how much such a trip would mean to John Harmon. And he had never even mentioned it bo her — ns one but John Harmon could ever have been so beautifully foolish! “That’s fine. Mrs. Northrup. I'll bring him back a different man! We sail a week from Tuesday.” “1 don’t know how to thank you.” "You don’t have to. my dear. It’s 1 who am indebted to you, for loaning me your charming husband." He walked to the door with her and took her hand to say good-bye. “I’m expecting great things from him, this novel has brought out qualities that make for real writing. He always had a sympathetic understanding of situations, now he has a sympathetic understanding of people; and it’s people, my dear, that make novels, just as it’s people that make life." i. It was not until they had had their supper and were sitting quiet/y in the lamplight that Stanley mentioned her visit to Maynard's office. She approached it casually. “1 saw Maynard this afternoon, John Harmon.” “You did. Where?/’ “At his office.” “Oh. how did that happen?” He looked at her curiously. “He sent for me, about your going abroad with him.” John Harmon stiffened suddenly. •That was a little unnecessary, (eetns to me. I thought we’d settled that" “As It happens, you hadn’t, but ! have.” “Just what do you m’an. Stan?” "Nothing much—except that you rre going, of course.”

“And that’s where you are en- l tlrely wrong, my dear—l am noil" I And to add emphasis to his re- I mark, John Harmon tossed his ciga- 1 rette into the empty grate, plunged his hands into his pockets and I stared at her defiantly, with eyes I which had grown more intent than eager during the last few weeks. ' “I’m sorry, dear, I gave him my word.” Stanley wa s quit* unimpressed by his firmness. “He had no business dragging you into it.” “If you weren’t so run down and irritable you’d never be capable of such ingratitude.” “But darn it all, Stanley, don’t you see, I can’t run off and leave you here in this place—it’ll be hot as blazes in another ten days. Besides, we’ve got some money right now, but how long will it last? I haven’t done a thing since I finished ‘Gloria’—it doesn’t look as if I ever would." “That’s exactly why you’ve got! to go — you’re not yourself. You can’t afford to drag along like this. You’ve got to get your strength baek. You know perfectly well what a® hour at th# typewriter does to you!” "I know, all right.” John Harmon bxrisd his face in his hands—in his thin, clever hands that were so frightfully whit# »sd unsteady. “But dam it all, Stanley, leaving th# expense out of it, I can’t go off and leave y«« aloae—just whe« we had plasfied to go away together.” Stanley was sitting on a low stool at his feet, and there was something ix his voice, something husky and rough, which made her look up at him swiftly. He was staring at her in the firelight, and her heart rocked suddenly and painfully against her side at what she saw in his eyes in the moment before he dragged them away. It was , as if for that brief, shattering second he had let her see straight into the soul of him and know for . once the tremendous way in which he wa-nted her, needed her. i “You see, Stanley,” he reached for her hands, held them lightly, his betraying eyes on their white slimness, “we%e never had a—honeymoon. I thought that perhaps we ' could—now. Look at me, darling.” She looked up at him slowly, and then with a little sob, she was on her knees beside him. his face held tightly against her breast, her voice tumbling unsteadily against the rumpled brownness of his head, “I do want to go away with you, darling—and we will—when you come back. Bat we own wait, and this trip won’t.” “But, Stanley, I don’t want to ’ wait—l’ve waited so long. I want i to go with you, now.” Stanley’s hands held his head closer to her heart, her fingers caressed his hair, but her voice be- . came steady and sweetly reasoni able. “And 1 want you. too, but : you mustn’t Yon must go with • Maynard, darling, it’s going to do ; you a lot of good in all sorts of ’ ways. I can get Valerie to stay with ■ me—it will only be for a few weeks r anyhow.” s “Weeks can be darned long, Stanley." But in the end he agreed to go. 1 Perry took them to the pier on - the afternoon John Hannon’s boat j sailed and left them alone in his 3 stateroom to say goodbye to each . other. i, And quite suddenly, it was John Harmon who was brave and matter-of-fact and Stanley who forgot to smile and went into his arms with ■ a shaken, little sob. “Don’t go, John Harmon, don’t leave me — I’m . afraid.” He rubbed his chin against her . cheek and held her quietly. “You’ll , be all right, honey, and in six j weeks I’ll be baek and we can go away together.” t “But so much can happen in six weeks. John Harmon—l’m afraid!” ’• John Harmon prewed her face a against his shoulder He didn’t want her to see his face just then the

torment in his eyes, the pain that twisted his mouth. “I know, dear, that’s a chance we take—a chance we've always taken.” “Time's up!” shouted Perry from the passageway, “We’ve got to run, Stan.” He led her off the boat and stood : beside her, while she waved a damp | little handkerchief at the rapidly diminishing speck that was John Harmon. Then he took her firmly by the arm and piloted her to his car. “I’m an awful darn fool, Perry',” she told him tremulously, sliding down in a little heap against the blue leather cushions, "I think I’m going to cry.” “Go ahead, darlin’.” Perry urged her cheerfully. “Keep your head down and in that hat no one will know the difference.” “Good heavens. Perry,” she gasped faintly, somewhere between laughter and tears, “anyone would think you made a habit of driving weeping women about the streets of New York, you’re so casual about it” “I wouldn’t call it a habit exactly, but it has happened before,” Perry admitted cheerfully. “What do you say to going somewhere to tea? What do you say to going up to Dennis’? She won’t have any tea but she’ll have some dam good cocktails—Dennis is a very remarkable girl." “I don’t feel like tea—or cocktails—or Dennis.” “No. What you feel like is going home and burning your head in a pillow and having a nice, comfort- ■ able cry. But I’m not going to let you do it Your eyes would get red and your nose would look worse, i and anyhow it’s five o’clock and I feel the need of a party.” “Have it your own way, I’ll probably cry later, anyhow.” Stanley shrugged resignedly. “Darlin', never worry about what . may happen—it almost never does.” “I wish I could believe that, Perry,” Stanley began in a curii ously troubled voice, but Perry was ; busy dodging traffic and didn’t hear her. Tea at Dennis’ was always a . gaily informal affair with no tea in ’ sight, plenty of gin and vermouth, I and anchovy paste sandwiches i Dennis lived in a eharming and, [ wholly haphazard way on the top i floor of an apartment house in , Luxor City. She had a studio, bare ; and uncluttered, where she worked , from ten until three, and a long , deep living room, with many wini dows facing the river, where she spent the rest of her time when , she was at home. Today it was filled with a dozen ! or so people, al) talking at once, ! | all gaily impervious to any inter- , i ruption. At the extreme end of the , room, an indolent young man was , sipping a cocktail and carefully > considering the effect that Dennis i was achieving, dressed in topaz , velvet, her bronze head tilted back f against a piece of old Chinese bro- , cade. 5 “You might use a pose like that ! for those new illustrations," he de- . cided, frowning a bit. “Have yoo read the manuscript yet?” “No, I’m going to. This after- , noon.” t “Sure you’ll have them ready in, i , time?” , “bon’t 1 usually?” “Yes. that’s the amazing thing , about you, Dennis—you’re so in- . consistently business-like." 3 “I’ve found it pays.” , “1 suppose so—never could be , that way myself, though ” 3 “No. You’re too lazy. If you didn’t have to write to live—yous r would never finish a story.” j “Tedious—finishing anything. But' t as you say. one has to live." B “And eat—apparently.

The bush eschcholtzia. hunne-> i mania, so old-fashioned a flower : that to most new gardeners its ' older form would be a novelty, has now been improved by the ' plant breeders. ! The first product of their work ! is Hunnemania Sunhte. which won ■ in award of merit in the All-Amer-I ica trials this year. The hunnemania is a California native, onlyhalf hardy, which has long been valued in gardens for its dear, bright sulphur yellow , flowers.

I The Sunlite variety has all the , beauty and vigor of the older type and in addition produces sonic of its huge flowers in semi-double 1 ' form. This characteristic is not ' yet well fixed, and only a few of ' I the plants grown in the trials, it ■ iis reported, showed semi-double I flowers. But the imprpvemeiK re- 1 vives interest in this! attractive flower family, and many will wish to become familiar with its beauty, i Hunnemania seed should not tfe ‘ town until the ground is warm. It germinates somewhat slowly, tak-, ing eight days to two weeks, but , l once started it grows rapidly to! j the blooming stage, as do the Cali ■ tomia poppies.
