It is run by the Lloyd Triest-! ino Steamship Company with its boat, the “Fenicia.” The Persian, government has undertaken import- • ant public works, officials of the line stated, with the object of the I economic development of the counit ry and increase of European traf- : lie. The building of numerous bridg-1 es, electric plants and a railway I line 600 kilometers long connecting! the port of Bender Shapaur with ' the hinterland, is contemplated 1 among other projects. Most of these works, it was observed, are being undertaken by Italian firms which naturally have sent engineers and workmen to Persia. o Plane Drops Dynamite Seattle, Wash. — — Murray Stewart, pilot, carried 14 fiftypound boxes of dynamite in his air-j plane to a mine in the Cascade ( Mountains, and dropped it from an .

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX After he left her Stanley moved quietly about the room putting away the tea things, emptying ash trays, fixing a tray for Valerie. She made a salad, started some f coffee. She felt curiously numb and i emotionless and the events of the afternoon ran through her tired mind w-ith a strangely detached vividness. Drew had been there. He held her in his arms, kissed her mouth. Perry had come in and she had made Drew appaar ridiculous and he had gone away. He had gone away and she had not wanted him to go away. And John Harmon didn’t matter at all. It was as if there had never been such a person as John Harmon. And over and above everything e ' s e there was a curiously definite feeling of finality. She had come to the end—from now on she would go on alone. There was no place in her life for Drew—what he had to give her she was utterly incapable of accepting. There was no place for John Harmon—what he had to give her she no longer wanted. For over a year she had been braised and tormented, caressed and soothed, by love. She had approached the 1 heights, gone down into the depths with Drew. Risen again to fertile valleys with John Harmon. Now she found herself alone on a bar- . ren plateau—bereft of delight., of grief, of torment, of desire—conscious only of an all-enveloping sense of futility and loneliness. As she moved about, straightening the room, preparing supper, her thoughts tumbled over one another, came and went quickly, a jumble of confused and unconnected impressions. She had cried when John Harmon went away; it seemed strange now that his going had mattered so much. Perry had been terribly upset because she ne ' longer loved John Harmon; she couldn’t make it seem important. Nothing any longer had any im- . portance. She felt very tired and very empty—like the shells you picked up on the beach—washed 1 clean of everything, smooth and hard and empty. I Two weeks and three days later i ■—and weather as freakish and unseasonable as Christmas on the ' Fourth of July. 1 It was very hot in the room— 1 anji very still. Dust lay in little i silver sheens on the tops of the i tables, sunlight drifted in about the : I edges of the drawn shades; slid in narrow golden ribbons across : the painted floor. The clock ticked ; evenly, monotonously on the manI tie, in the bathroom a carelessly turned faucet dripped languidly, on the floor above someone was doing i things with a vacuum cleaner — noisy, energetic, useless things. Stanley turned over onto her right side and stared at the ribbon of sunlight that was creeping across the floor —it had nearly i beached the bed. That meant that I in a little while now Valerie would ! come home. It meant that another > day was nearly over. It meant that ; in another hour the sun would go 1 down and it would be cooler; not i much cooler but a little. Two weeks of days like this—hot. bright, still days that seemed to have skipped ahead and slid into May quite by mistake. Two weeks and three days since that afternoon that the rain had come down in silver sheets against the win-dow-panes and a fire had burned slowly on the hearth and Drew had | come—and gone away again. This I time, forever. Two weeks and three i days in which her body had moved | about but her sou! had stood still; days of dragging, physical weariness and that subtler, more tortuous agony, which is purely mental and much more crucifying. She had said nothing to Valerie of "'hat had happened that afte.-

noon; she felt that she never would be able to discuss it with anyone. I ever again. Any more than she : would ever be able to forget it—i and that she would never forget it she was quite sure. She thought that, if the pain in her head would only stop, and that rather frightening faintness leave her, she would get up and do things —dust the tables and pour water on the neglected pots of primrose.--and wash the pile of pink china that was stacked behind the closed doors of the kitchenette. She thought that she would take a bath and shampoo her hair and ice some tea and make some very thin cream cheese and spiced ginger sandwiches. But she didn’t. She only flung her slim body about so that she faced the wall and pushed her hair away from her hot forehead and wished that Valerie would come home and talk to her and make things seem real, more, and less like a slow-moving, bad dream—and then for a little while she slept, and so escaped the dream. She slept lightly, restlessly, her arms flung up above her head, her face turned away from the straggling sunlight, her lips slightly parted, her lashes lying heavy, like dark shadows, on her white cheeks. When Valens came in an hour later, she, awakened, sat up and smiled wearily. “Sorry, Vai,” she apologized contritely, “I meant to have supper ready for you—” Valerie tossed her hat aside, peeled off her dark dress and flung it in a damp little heap beside the hat. “Headache, again?” she asked, her eyes sympathetic. “Terribly. I feel a wreck. Vai." “Did you see a doctor?” “No, it’s just this darned weather. I’ll be all right, once it changes—gets cooler.” “I’m net sure about that.” Vai spoke sharply. “Why don't you get out of town for a couple of weeks —go away somewhere?” Stanley stared at her silently for a moment, then slid back onto her pillow and closed her eyes as if further discussion was too much of an effort. In the briefest of underthings, Valerie stood aqd considered her with soberly speculative eyes; then she lifted her shoulders slightly, scowled, and went into the bathroom. Stanley heard her running a tub of water —it sounded cool and cheerful and nicely comforting. She decided that she would surely get up and take a bath herself as soon as Valerie finished with the bathroom. She was glad Vai was home —it was much better than being alone She did not even mind answering the questions Vai would be sure to ask—had she eaten anything — and if not, why not? Wouldn’t she like this or that for supper? Wouldn’t she please see a doctor ? But as it happened Vai did not ask her any of these questions. She came out of the bathroom in a few minutes and curled up in the wing chair, in the thinnest of scar let pajamas, lit a cigarette and said to Stanley, quite casually and matter-of-factly: “You aren’t by any chance going to have a baby, are you Stan?” Stanley opened her eyes swiftly. “What?” she asked, her voice quite flat and toneless. “ —because if you are, you ought to see a doctor.” “But—l can't be. I’ve never even thought of that!” Her voice rose now on a thin little note, she sat up abruptly, flung her hands about her knees, stared at Valerie with wide disbelieving eyes. Valerie shrugged. “You wouldn’t, I suppose. But 1 would. I imagine I’ve seen more of that sort of thing than you have. I've been almost sure about you for a week. I thought you knew and didn’t want to talk about it—but 1 had to be sure." “No,” said Stanley slowly, her eyes still incredulous. "1 expect I'm

(1 an awful fool, Vai, not to have thought of it. But you see, we e decided about that at the very first - —decided we wouldn't have a baby t —well, not for a long time, anyway. And then—well,“then, I sup(i pore I just stopped thinking about t it" e Valerie lifted her eyebrows a bit. s “One does, 1 imagine—until all of r a sudden—it happens.” s "But, Vai. it mustn’t happen t» i me—not now.” Suddenly, Stanley j 1 was trembling all over. She thrust j > the words at Valerie jerkily, her ■ > lips stiff and shaking. “I can’t have ] • a baby, now. 1 haven’t told you , i before, but when John Harmon ! comes back I’m not going to live , ' with him anymore. Our marriage ; is over—finished—as if it had never ■ been! You see now, don’t you, tK.t I 1 can’t possibly be going to ha\ • a baby?” i Valerie sighed a bit, flung her cigarette away abruptly. "I don't know what you’re talking about, ; Stanley, al] this nonsense about t leaving John Harmon. AU 1 know . is that you did marry him. and I you did live with him—and be- | cause you did you are going to ; have a baby. But at least, you’ll have to do something about it.” “Yes," said Stanley slowly a long time, in which she had sat quite still and stared at Valerie and did not see her at ail, “I suppose 1 shall.” She closed her eyes then and waited for the swinging, red mist to go away. Her heart was behaving strangely and she was breathing rapidly, painfully. But graduiliy the mist went away and slie could breathe quite easily again and certain things became clear U ; her—cruelly clear. She was going ■ o have a baby. She knew quite : ■tddenly that this was so, that Valerie was right. She wondered s little derisively why she had not thought of it herself; realized that never once in all the months she had been married had she thought about it at all. She wondered if John Harmon had thought about it—decided that he very probably had—he was like that—he thought about a great many things. And now, for an interval, lying very still with her eyes closed, she thought about him; little inconsequential things—the way his hair grew thick and brown and rumpled like a very little boy’s, the trick his eyes had of smiling suddenly and crinkling at the corners, the habit his tie had of sliding around beneath his ear when he was completely absorbed. She thought that it seemed a long, long time ago that she had lived with him in this room; that it seemed a long, long time before she would have to see him again — and tell him things. Not about the baby — he would never have te know about that. She was glad he wouldn't, because she felt, some way, that he would care. And she didn’t want him to care any more than he had te—she thought that if she could, she would gladly save him from caring at all—then she remembered suddenly that people who had babies sometimes died. Her heart stood still for a brief, deliberating second — that would settle every- , thing with a sort of nice precision. She would die and leave John Har- , mon his baby and he would never ■ need to know^—anything Then she breathed again—and dismissed the : idea as absurd. She might not die at all—most women didn't. In i which case things would be much worse than they were now Besides, : she didn't want to die—even as ; she didn’t want to live, she wanted i to die even less. No. she would simply go and see a doctor. And only , in that buief moment, in which she > saw herself dying and making John ! Ilatmon a gift of their child, did . she accept the possibility that there might ever be a baby. ( To Bft Cortiß jcl) CopvrigM. 1’32, tty Alkre CerfiM 1 Di>t rib»tt d Ktrw Features Srndtcale- tac>
