i CHAPTER XXX 1 “I thought you didn't want to be efficient." Joe said. "For myself, yea I have to. How'U I get ahead U I’m not. But not for anybody else I even take back what I said about talking Babe into taking some of the things. If she wants cheap new stuff instead, it's her affair-—hers and Clicky’s. And I simply refuse to get mixed up in Sue's love affairs again . . . Joe, do you think she'll really marry Kenneth again ?” “Oh. Maggie - bless your heart." "But I mean it kindly." ’ “You meant It all kindly." “Um . . , sort of. But I guess 1 was a little like Sue, wanting to be the star performer, only 1 wanted to be the stage manager and the playwright and all the off-stage noises and mobs, and she just wanted to be the star. And now, believe it or not. I'm just thinking of her It does seem such a pity, after all the trouble she took to get that divorce. And yet, if there’s anything in what you said, about her trying to use you to make Ken jealous—” "Oh. Maggie—Maggie!” He was laughing as he hadn’t laughed in weeks, in months -• in years it seemed to him. "I think you’re horrible to laugh, when 1 break down and tell ail,” she said, but she was laughing, too. He got up. "Come on—let's go out somewhere, and celebrate." "All right No—l tell you, come off. let's get out in the kitchen and cook up something the way we used to do.” « "Still bossy,” he protested, ana she said, "Let's make some tomato and bacon sandwiches —if I can find some cheese. And coffee. have coffee, too?” She led the way out to the kitchen, and he followed, teasing and protesting, and put on one of her aprons as he used to do. "Oh, bother — there’s the door again. It's way after 11. Who in the world can it be?” "Sue. Let’s not answer it" She hesitated. "No, it might be a special delivery letter or a telegram I’d better go." “I'll go, too." He followed, her old apron in his hand. "Why, Kenneth!" ; Kenneth Raleigh stood in the .doorway, hair rumpled, face distraught “I want to see Sue!” he cried. •She isn’t here." "Oh, yes. she is.” “Kenneth, I tell you she isn’t" "Don't lie, Margaret. And you ■needn't hide behind her skirts, Atwell, for I know what you’ve been :up to. You aren't even man enough to risk it on your own. Have to come to Margaret's—where it's SAFE—where you think I wouldn't follow you —oh. you SWINE! You wife-stealer, you—" That's about enough, Kenny You can't come here and start a row If you have anything to say to me —" Margaret pulled at Joe’s coat—- ■ No—let ME talk to him—” “I’ll handle this. Margaret." "YOU'LL handle this. Like— THAT—you will!” Like lightning Ken's fist went out—just as Margaret pushed herself forward. It struck her. right on the point of the chin. When Margaret opened her eyes she was lying on the library sofa, two very worried young men leaning over her. anxiously. She watched them through her lashes, until memory came back Then she closed her eyes again She was all right, but her jaw hurt That pugnacious Kerthy . . trying to hit Joe, and hitting her instead Well, she wouldn't come to toe quickly. He could just go on worrying for a while. He was almoet crying. “I’d have eut off my right arm first I—” “Not so loud. Wake Mrs. Werfe! up and we WILL be in trouble!’ Jo* whispered. Tm going to call a doctor. TH f go and get him myself.” ■•Well —” Joe hesitated. “Maybe it would be best I think she’s all . right, but—* Undoubtedly she’d been “out long enough. Margaret opened her eyes, smiled faintly. "Why did you hit me?" "Oh. Margaret—l'd have cut off

my right arm. rd have died before I'd have had thia happen. I—" "How do you feel, jaw hurt ?” Joe asked anxiously. She touched her chin with her fingers. “Um .. . sort of sore. Did I fall?” “No, I caught you, and Kenny really didn’t do himself justice—lt was just a glancing blow.” "It was meant for Joe!” Ken cried, defensively. "Well, you're not to go hitting anybody around here,” Margaret said. Her head hurt a little as she sat up. Ken was always making trouble. "You can go on home. And next time don't pick a fight just because you’re told that Sue isn't around. Anyway—she isn't I told you that in the first place." “I know. Oh, Margaret—l'm so sorry. I can’t tell you how I feel. What a mess I've made of everything. You don't know how I feel —how crazy I've been. I can't even see the babies unless there's someone there watching me. and Sue acts so funny. I thought first she was going to come back to me. And now—" He covered tils face with his hands—" Now—l don't know." Poor Kenny.” She touched his dark hair lightly. “It won't always hurt so! You get over things Everybody gets over—everything!" 'But not when it's love — not when it’s real love—" * “I think so, Kenny. Anyway, if you ever expect Sue to care again you’ll have to make her respect you, and she never will as long as you beg her. and fly all around, making fusses over everything!” “You said it, Maggie," Joe said. “Oh, I know—you're right But it’s so damned hard. I turned down a swell coaching job because I was afraid ahe'd come back and I wouldn’t be able to be where she is. I-” “Can you still get it?" ‘Cinch! Say, the fellow they've got now is NOTHING. He sees it himself. Can’t handle men. Oh, he’s all right for an assistant—but as head coach! It’s pitiful! Why, Joe here, would do as well Joe, he has some of the craziest ideas. Doesn’t believe in scrimmage. Not at all Not in a single practice— ’’ Margaret shut her eyes again. Kenny—and his talk. If he’d only go. Joe got rid of him finally. “Well, he’s gone now, Maggie. Gee, Im sorry about the whole thing.” She smiled up at him. “It's nothing. Doesn’t even hurt. Poor Kenny. Don’t you feel sorry for him?” “Oh. he’ll be all right." “Yes. I suppose he will." She frowned, trying tq concentrate on Kenny and his troubles, but she was too tired—and too comfortable. Joe took her hand In his. He had a nice warm, comfortable hand. She closed her eyes again. He was watching her anxiously when she opened her eyes again. “Feci all right ?” “Swell But I’m hungry. We never did get our sandwiches. I’m sroing to go and fix some fresh ones." “No, I will You rest here, and I’ll do it” “Oh, I’d—" She was going to say. I’d rather do it myself!" but she stopped just in time. If Joe wanted to wait on her let him. He came back In an Incredibly. short time with the sandwiches and coffee cups on a tray. “You’re swell, Joe!” “I like fixing things around a house.” They looked at each other. Ridiculously. she felt her color rising. Now —after all these years—getting self-conscious with Joe. Getting excited over nothing! She tried to pull herself together, to talk fast, to cover her confusion. “Um —this sandwich is squishy. But you’re a grand sandwich maker. And speaking of houses, do you know anything about apartments in San Francisco?” "Not much. Gee, I always liked Oils house, Maggie." "So did L But there’s no point in our trying to stay here — just Aunt Bet and L She’s looking out

( for a notel, but I'd rather have an apartment 1 hate hotels. ” ■ 'So do L After living tn them for years.’’ r “I wish we weren't giving this up. I But—we are.” “Don't Hold on to It” ' “Oh, we can’t We have to sell 1 It Joe. It’s the only sane thing to do We need the money." i “I’ll lend you the money." "Oh. no—thanks, but it wouldn’t . do at all—” (Oh, why did she have ' to start blushing again, like a silly . school girl? What was the MAT- . TER with her?) i He took her hand again, pressed , it reassuringly. She rattled on. "It's just the I break that’s hard. There’s no sense in keeping a place after the need for it ts gone. The hardest part is the leaving. After we leave I'll just stay away. Never come back to . see it After a while I’ll get so I won't care. It's true--what I said 1 to Kenny, you know. That you do get over things. I know.” "There's something I never got over ." •Then you didn’t try hard enough!" She pulled her hand away, because it was shaking idiotically She. with shaking hands! It was crazy It was disgusting. “Oh, yes I did. And I almost succeeded for a little while But it didn’t work. Margaret—" He took her hand again, and again she jerked it away. She was too upset. Too defenseless. He’d see that she cared. She’d let herself be hurt again. And anything would be better than that! Anything! "Joe, it’s scandalously late, and I haven't done any packing, and you forget that I’m a working girl whe must be up before 7.” "Oh—Oh, yes.” “And you really ought to be on your way. Joe.” “I know.” He didn't move. p "1 mean it. Joe," “I know.” "Joe—you must— ■ “Listen, I’ve got a business proposition. I like this house. I always liked it I want to live in it Will you sell it to me?” “It isn't mine. It’s daddy’s." "Well, he can’t refuse to sell it to me instead of someone else, can he?” “N—no, I don’t suppose so. Joe —you don’t mean that.” "Oh, yes Ido " He took out his checkbook and reached for his pen. “I'U make a down payment right now. A thousand dollars al) right ?” “Oh, heavens, yes. But I don’t know —I don’t know yet what it's worth! And what would you ever do . . . Oh. Joe—WHAT would you do with it ?” “We’ll have it appraised. By the real estate people.” "But what will you DO with it ?" "You know.” “You're not going to LIVE in it?” “Certainly.” "But Joe—Joe—l—” “Needs a little fixing up, I suppose. Would you help with the decorating?” “Joe —you don’t want this house. You can’t want it Say it—Joe Say what you want to do—" "I tried twice, and you wouldn't let me! You know what I want." “No, Joe—I —I don’t!” “I want you to live In the nouse I with me. I want your aunt to go on to England, and leave us alone. I . want you to quit your job—” I. She shook her head. "No—no--" “Oh!” i He turned away There was a little silence. “Well, o. k..” he said. . "It was just a crazy notion. But I . mean what I said about buying the . house. I’ll buy it” Her voice came, mnfflled. from s the sofa pillow. "But you didn't > mean what you said about . m-marrying me?" t “Oh. Maggie! Didn’t you say . you wouldn’t!” 1 “NO!” s “You didn’t!” "No—l—l want to. What I i | meant was—Oh. Joe —if that was what you wanted, whv didn’t you t SAY it LONG apo?"
