I CHAPTER XXXIII When Howard had gone Caroline picked up the newspapers he had brought and tried to escape her thoughts in reading them. Her eyes strayed to the column of personal items, and there she read that Howard Dunsworth had been away on a short hunting trip. The paper dropped from her hands as her own affairs rushed in upon her mind. That was what he had told Gwendolyn, perhaps. Or his father. In either case it was sickening that he should be compelled to lie about where he had been. Her mother’s funeral—and they had to be deceitful about it! Tears of humiliation trickled out of her eyes, although she shut them tight to keep from weeping. She was afraid, if she let herself go, that she would become hysterical, for she was completely unnerved and frightened, despite all her brave talk to Howard, and she knew it. She was still fighting her emotions, trying to reason sensibly with herself when the telephone rang. She answered it with a faint: “Hello.” and received an ingratiating: “Is this Miss Rutledge?” in reply. Then, as though Caroline’s voice had been recognized, the other quickly resumed. “This is Gwendolyn Dunsworth. I'm so glad I reached you.” Caroline barely succeeded in suppressing a gasp of surprise. Gwendolyn seemed not to care to learn if her call was welcome. ‘‘l want to tell you,” she went on, speaking rapidly but managing to introduce a note of sympathy into her voice, “that I feel for you deeply in your great loss.” Now she paused, and Caroline forced herself to murmur something about kindness. “I don’t want you to think that 1... misunderstand... about Howard’s being with you.” Gwendolyn said, “although I’m sure you must think I would.” Caroline was almost too astonished to speak, and believing all that Howard had told her, she was utterly unsuspicious of Gwendolyn’s motives. “Why, I . . .” she began in confusion, but Gwendolyn hastily cut in. “Oh, you do misjudge me!” she exclaimed. “But Howard has tnld me all about it and I understand, perfectly. The next time he sees you he will have good news for you, and I de wish you every happiness.” Caroline knew that she was waiting for her to say something. Never had words been so elusive. Her brain was whirling with exciting thoughts and she could express none of them in speech. “Do say that you are pleased,” Gwendolyn appealed to her. “Why, of course,” Caroline stammered, “of course I am pleased. It’s ... it’s very .. . it’s beautifully generous of you, Gwendolyn!” There was a sharp, definite click. Caroline looked blankly at the instrument in her hand. The connection had been broken with a startling abruptness. She waited, thinking Gwendolyn might ask have it restored. But after a while the thought that she had rung off with deliberate rudeness became a painful conviction. As the hours passed and Caroline heard nothing more she fell a helpless prey to all sorts of apprehensions. Why hadn’t Howard told her what was happening? And Gwendolyn—why was she so sweet at first and then moved to hang up like that! If only she knew where to reach Howard! She heard her father drive up to the house, leave the Sedan in the drive and come in the back door. He started on up to his room without stopping to speak to her. Suddenly she ran from the living room and called up the stairs to him. “Come and have some coffee with me, Father.” He turned and looked down at her, standing with his hand on the rail. His face was bloated, ugly. “Coffee?” he mumbled. “No, don’t wansh any, thansks.” Caroline shrank away. Back in the living room she flung herself into a chair and sobbed. The promise Gwendolyn had made seemed utterly false to her. She was lonely, inelpless, despairing.

DECATUR DAILY. DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1931.
How late It was when the telephone rang again she did not know, but she was still downstairs and flew to answer it in the hope that Howard was calling. When she heard his voice it was as though she had been rescued from a great danger. “I must see you,” he told her in a wildly agitated voice. “May I come out, tonight, I mean.” “Please,” she said. “Gwendolyn telephoned. I know something has happened! It’s been terrible, waiting. ”I’ll be right out. I know.” It seemed to her ages before she opened the door to him. They did not speak until they were in the living room and she had pulled the sliding doors to, shutting out their voices from the hall. “What did Gwen say?” Howard demanded even before he had said a word in greeting. “I think she tricked me,” Caroline told him. “She said she understood your being with me at ... at mother's funeral, and I did not deny that you were. Then she said you would have good news for me when I saw you again. She wished me happiness. Oh, tell me, what did she mean? She hung up, slammed the receiver up, when I said she was generous.” Howard laughed, a harsh, grating sound. "She tricked you, all right,” he said furiously. “Someone told her that my hunting trip was a blind—that’s where I said I was—and she taxed me with it. 1 wouldn’t answer and she said she’d get the truth. I didn’t guess what she was up to until it was too late and she had telephoned you. I’d have come sooner, but we had it out then and there. She’s leaving for Reno, right away.” Caroline’s eyes searched his face for some explanation of his anger. “But isn’t that what you’ve been wanting her to do?” she asked. “Not this way. She's sore. Dad will be wild.” “But she’s giving us our happiness, Howard. Doesn’t that matter above all else?” Caroline expostulated. “Not if Dad shuts down on me,” he retorted. "Oh. for heaven’s sake. Caroline, don’t be provincial about it. We must have money. You’ve seen that! I’d do anything rather than have you end your life in poverty.” Caroline drew back from him. “You could support us, if you made up your mind to,” she said firmly. “I’d help. In better times I can get a good position somewhere.’’ "Rot. Darling, nothing but rot. You’ve taken me as I am. You know what my life's been. You told me once I'd be surprised if I attempted to earn my living. Can I help it if I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth? I haven’t- learned how to’work. How can I compete w-ith men who have? You might be fair to me.” “Well.” Caroline sighed. "What can we do? I think it was decent of Gwen to give you up. Only—why should she mind all at once ?” "It was the lie about the hunting trip. Said it let her in for a good laugh from some of her bum friends.” "But why did you lie to her?” "You know that. Gwen has a way of throwing nasty remarks about the past. I didn’t want to give her anything so specific as that to talk about.” He felt thatrhis explanation was unsatisfactory, but he said no more about it Caroline looked at him with a sudden deep shadow in her eyes. “I won't hold you, Howard,” she said tensely, “if it’s going to cost you more than you care to pay.” He took her fiercely by the shoulders. "That kind of talk is cruel," he said. “Before I’d lose you, Caroline, I’d let the whole world go to blazes!” His arms swept round her thin, dark-clad body and he held her with a hunger that was suffocating. When she could, she pulled away from him. “Then do stop your worrying,” she said. “Fathers aren’t all ogres. And think! Wo can really plan things now—for the future. Oh, Howard, I can’t help being just a little happy even if it hasn’t hap-

pened as yon wanted it to," she added wistfully. Howard tried to appear less concerned than he had been. But it was not until the following day that his mind was really put at rest. And then it was Gwendolyn who did it. She had packed and was ready, before he left the house, to drive to the station. At the last moment she sent a maid to ask him to come to her room. She looked very modish in a tweed traveling costume but her figure had grown somewhat heavy and her face had lost the delicacy of youth without taking on the finer, stronger molding of character. She used make-up lavishly and a bit carelessly at times. Today she looked hard. “I meant to go and let you stew about your dad,” she said directly to Howard. “But I’m in the same boat and you know it, Papa’s going to half kill me as it is, and if I made a scandal he would. Otherwise, believe me. I'd make you and that ' prissy Caroline Rutledge eorne down off your high horses.” Howard stared at her, weighing her words. “What’s on your mind, ( exactly, Gwen?” he asked quietly. “I want to marry Freddy Thorn- i ton, that’s what,” she answered de- I fiantiy. “He’s the only boy I’ve ever j loved, and he's crazy about me. And you needn't look at me like that, either. After the way you’ve neglected me you might have expected I'd have affairs all over the town. I I wish I could make you suffer for it, but I want a little happiness my- ; self. Freddy’s got some money, and i if Papa doesn't disown me we’ll have i enough to travel, Freddy and me. I Get out of this lousy town. I’m sick | of it and that grand dame stuff your I mother is always handing to me.” ' She paused and grabbed up a hand- i bag and gloves. "Well,” Howard said, still restraining the elation he was begin- j ning to feel. "What do you want me to do about it?” “I want you to keep your mouth , shut If you say one word about me and Freddy to my father I’ll shoot the whole works about you and Caroline.” “It’s a bargain,” Howard agreed. “Freddy’s the best of the lot of your rotten friends. I hope you’ll be happy with him.” Gwendolyn glanced at her wrist- | watch. “You can drive me to the station.” she said. “It’s time to go. I’ll write to my folks. You can just I say you didn’t know anything about it. If Papa thought we’d settled it like this. . . She opened her mouth to apply more rouge to her lips and left her remark unfinished. At the station, just before she j boarded the train, Howard gave her a peek on each cheek and told her to remember that until she got her ' decree she was still his wife and he’d expect her to behave herself, i She waved at him from the plat- | form, and Howard wondered if he hadn’t wasted a lot of time in hiding i from her his wish to be free. Maybe . not, he reflected on his way to the factory. If she'd found out about I Caroline before she’d made up her : mind to marry Freddy she’d have I ruined him. Little hellcat. He drove to the factory in high spirits, but when he entered his i father’s office he had assumed an ‘ air of great and tragic unhappiness. "What the devil’s the matter with you?” Mr. Dunsworth, senior, asked, | looking up from a batch of papers over which he had been anxiously bent. “She’s gone, Dad!” Howard exclaimed frantically. "Who’s gone?” “Gwen. She left for Reno this 1 morning.” Henry Dunsworth shot half way ■ out of’his chair. “Why didn't you stop her, you blooming idiot!” he ! yelled. “Stop her!" Howard laughed bitterly. “Try and do it!” Henry flopped back in his chair. “This is bad. Bad," he groaned. “Hoffmann will raise the devil, and it’s all your fault, you young whelp,” he added, turning a suddenly blazing countenance on hie son. “You drove her to it. Yon never tried to understand her.” MMributed by King Ffcaturw Brn<l!rat«, Inc, (To Be Continued) Copyright by Ruth D— Otm
