CHAPTER XX Their mail was forwarded slowly from London. They had been in Moscow nearly three weeks, when one morning as he took their letters from the tray, he saw addressed to Denise a letter in a smart erratic handwriting, saw on the flap of the cneelope “Afrs. Eustace Gardiner layne," and her New York address. He had the strangest feeling, car•ying that letter upstairs, that it would greatly, for good or bad, affect his chance with Denise, and hers with him! He knocked on her door. It was ne of her mornings for “extra leeping” as she called it, and her voice just half awake, said: “Come in. I’m enjoying a very dull breakfast in bed, Gilbert.” She sounded heerful enough about it, and ;ooked altogether lovely in a bright blue fluffy negligee, with her hair just pleasantly tumbled. “Hurrah! You have heaps’ of American mail. Was the food any warmer downstairs in the diningroom ? I expect not much.” “Letter for you, Denise.” When he handed it to her, and she looked at the superscription, he saw her face change. “I’ve got things to do, Denise. Business letters. Do you ruppose you’ll be dressed and feel like sightseeing in an hour?” “Yes; I’ll dress right away, Gilbert.” “No hurry.” He went out of the room, and made himself stay away, through a full hour. She sat up in bed holding that letter in her hands lightly, as if to hold it close would burn her. She watched a small fleet of clouds move across the incredible soft blue of the sky outside her high window. When they were gone, she still stared at that oblong of blue emptiness. Letters from Felicia had been bright nunctuations of her childhood since the years she still had a governess, and Felicia had just gone to boarding-school—of her young girlhood when she was at school, and Felicia was a debutante—of her own debutante years, when Felicia was on her honeymoon and the letters had exotic postmarks. Always the moment of opening a letter from her older sister had been a gay moment Felicia had the gift for writing amusingly, warmly, making her affection for Denise shine through her light sentences on scenery, society and places to buy things. In all those years Denise would never have believed that there would come a day when she would open a letter from her sister with dread an-' a kind of sudden sharp dislike. Not since the afternoon that cablegram came had she written to Felicia, but had wai<ed until a time should eome when she might know what to say. The time had not come yet. Then she set her pretty mouth. No need to dread anything Felicia might write about. The things she wrote which had used to seem so important, could not be important any more. That was gone with the rest. . .. The letter read: “Well, my pet: “I judge by the complete absence of daily cablegrams, transatlantic telephone inquiries and flowers I

Evangelism Workers Will Meet Tonight The visitation evangelism cam i palgn workers, who assisted during i the Dr. Kernahan campaign, re ) cently held, and alt others who ] - wish to aid in the work, are asked to meet at the First Methodist Episcopal church tonight at 6:30 o’clock. After a brief devotion and the assignment of homes, the workers will go out and visit the various homes.

All | members are urged to attend. Following the board meeting, the j finance committee will make plans

(telegraphed anywhere in the world, y as the ads say) with your best . wishes attached, that you have no e best wishes for me. Nevertheless — s “By the way, forgive the discour--0 sive style. I'm doing this in bits and c pieces over days, in the intervals be- » tween sledgehammers going on in r my head. I’m pleased to say the ; sledgehammers are lessening in intensity, and they tell me they’re t typ'csl aftermath of skull fracture. . Why do they, as soon as they've got 3 one locked up in a hospital, tell one that one has typical this and typical 3 that? Gets one’s individuality so k down. r “As for my looks, they assure me > they’ll be practically the same. I . keep hoping they don’t mean just ] that I’ll continue to have two eyes, a j nose and mouth and the usual ast sortment of teeth; but until they un- . wrap my face from its various layers of tissue, I sha'n’t know. f “Probably you’re not interested in r that, any more than you used to be . interested in my theories about life. However, it serves as well as anything else as an introduction to cer- , tain facts you should know. They J are all for your very private infork mation. I sha'n’t bother explaining i to anyone else. Most people wouldn't I believe me; and besides, it’s so much trouble to make explanations. “Well, then, I am the innocent victim of circumstances, as my defend- , ing lawyer, if it comes to that (as Eustaces people want), would be sure to remark. The circumstances. I must say, were pretty largely of my own creating, and Keith’s. A little ultimate assistance from a truck. “In other words, Keith's honor and mine are undamaged as newfallen snow, for all our reputations are no more. Are my ridiculous simile* sufficiently explicit, my lamb ? They're sufficiently dreadful, I grant” There was a break; then: “Two days later, and much less groggily: “Denise, it seems important for you to know that Keith and I had no affaire. We went to that inn to have three days together, to make up our minds about each other. It’s a fact that we clicked beyond belief, since the winter. (Not before, darling, I give you my word.) “We were on our way back to tell Eustace that we (Keith and I) were all for going on together, when the truck intervened, and he heard by radio instead. “None of which changes my profound conviction that you performed the most intelligent act of your life when you married Gilbert . . . I’m getting tired, and will have to wait until tomorrow to explain that. . . . “Here we are al! freshly bandaged like a mummy. “The major point is that neither Keith nor I are solid citizens at heart. Eustace is one; Gilbert indubitably is. And you are, fundamentally. “People like us are always letting the solid citizens down. But within limits. As for instance, neither Keith nor I seriously considered ‘deceiving’ Eustace; we registered as we did just because it was convenient. I “How I detest tearing myself I apart! I shouldn’t do it for anyone I but you. To continue the process in-

directly: Keith and 1 just aecided that the pleasantest way we knew to spend bur remaining years was together. And he never felt about me as he felt about my little sister Denise, though I dislike admitting that, too. “You will grant I tried with Eustace; but it seemed to get duller and duller. “As to what happens now, 1 haven’t the least notion. Keith is locked up in his father’s house recuperating, and apparently has not recuperated sufficiently yet to get to a telephone. “Eustace comes to see me three times a day. Our conversations go like this: “Eustace: 'Are you feeling any better, Felicia?' “I: ‘Yes. Eustace, hadn’t we better have a talk?’ “Eustace (with an iron face): '1 refuse to discuss anything with you until you are completely well. As far as I’m concerned, we needn’t discuss anything then.' “He does make me ashamed of myself; but that’s no special help. Meanwhile, as soon as his family heard I had recovered consciousness, they sent me a letter so terrible that it was, in its way, amusing. Sort of official dismissal from the fold. They were pretty deflnite about giving Eustace no more money until he got rid of me. So I suppose he worries about hospital bills. But I can get nothing out of him except: ‘Don’t concern yourself.’ As if, poor darling, he were a strong Victorian husband addressing a semi-imbecil* wife! “The fact is, I haven't much feeling about him or Keith or myself yet. Still too dazed. Principally, in my more lucid intervals, I’ve thought about you, and the possible repercussions of this upon your sen- , sitivity. Which ought to prove something or other. “My hope is, though, that you are by now so deeply and so happily committed to Gilbert, that all our disturbances are no more than small inconsequential sounds in the far distance. “With love, my dear, “Your Felicia.” Flippant, defiant, oddly apologetic, that letter was, with a kind of fear between its lines in that style of which the discursiveness was so 1 lightly explained. “As for my looks—l keep hoping. Until they unwrap my face from its various layers of tissue, I sha’n’t know. . .And— “As to what happens now, I haven’t the least notion. . . . Keith apparently has not recuperated sufficiently to get to a telephone.” Yes, there was fear in those sentences; and the determination not to admit fear was there too. Suddenly, Denise felt her heart turn over. How mistaken she had been! No matter what Felicia did, she would still be importa.it to her, because of all the years before when she was an adored older sister who could do no wrong, years when her arrogance had been just part of her charm, like her clear very white skin.
