Wiv Love is BENNETT

CHAPTER XXI Ruth Darby was washing vegetables as Constance came in the kitchen the following morning and sat at the white table and cupped her chin in her hand. “Can’t you do that later, Mother? I’ve something to tel) you, something I'm afraid you aren't going to like very much.” “Os course, dear. What is it?” She dried her hands and pulled out a painted white chair and sat down. Her eyes did not waver from the grave young face opposite her. Constance touched the hand that wore the heavy gold wedding band. “I’m not going to marry Terry. I’m going to marry Gordon Keith." And gripped her mother’s hand. “Please try to understand. I love him. Don’t tell me I don't know what I’m doing because I’ve thought about it for so long. . . .” Ruth nodded. “And you’ve been miserable. I know. Somehow mothers always know, Constance. But have you realized what marriage to this man means and how different it will be from marriage with a boy like Terry? He’s a man of the world and you aren’t the first girl in«his life and you probably won’t be the last. He’s been married before and his marriage failed. You must consider all those things.” “All I can think of this morning is that I’m going to hurt Terry. I’m going to the camp today and tell him. I’ve got to tell him! Is that all you have to say?” “This is one time when I can’t advise you.” Her advice would be futile. You taught them all you knew but you could not tell them whom to marry because they would not listen and in the end they always listened to the music in their own hearts. Her own heart ached now with fear. . . . “Marriage is a gamble even with men you think you know well. I just want you to be sure, very sure, that you really love this man and aren’t just blinded by his good looks and reputation. I only saw him once and he is good looking and fascinating.” “I love him. That’s all I know. I love him and I want to be with him. I can’t stay away from him.” Sleepy-eyed, Rosalind appeared in the doorway. Quietly her mother said, “Constance has just been telling me she is going to marry Gordon Keith, Rosalind.” Constance said, “I don’t want anyone to know just yet except Terry. I’m going to the camp today and tell him.” Rosalind’s dark eyes sprang awake angrily. “I didn't make a mistake when 1 married Van. I loved him. I still do. But you’re making a mistake you’ll pay for for the rest of your life. You're all wrong! Why can’t you see it? You’re crazy. Constance. You don’t know what you’re doing." Looking from the dark-ha>red girl to the fair-haired one. Ruth thought, “If she is making a mistake. she won’t know until it’s too late. Goydan Keith has come between Terry and her. Will Terry, whom she has loved for so long, come betw-een her and Gordon when they are married?” “I'm only trying to do what 1 think is right," Constance said in a tired voice. “I'm only trying to be honest with you and with myself. It hasn’t been easy to know what to do” She was wearing a yellow dress and a small knitted yellow hat when she came downstairs that afternoon feeling that her heart was like a weight dragging her down. Wasn't love supposed to make you happy? Loving Terry had made her happy. Wouldn't loving Gordon ever make her happy or would it always be like a storm raging within her? Her mother looked at her gravely. “Are you sure? " “I’m sure I’m doing the honest thing by telling Terry.” “You’re • not happy.” Gordon Keith’s words and his kisses last night didn’t make you happy, child. Marriage is more than tender words and passion and romance in the

COURTING TROUBLE!

Now Showing—“A VICTIM OF PRIDE”

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1938.

BHckenderffer Model 8. •'milar to Twain wrote the first typed manthe typewriter upon which Mark uscript ever submitted to an edi-

moonlight. Marriage is sharing little or much, understanding, being faithful, giving and taking. ... “I’ll be happy when it’s over, I think." Her lips brushed her mother’s face. “I think you understand. I’m sorry for getting myself into this mess when Rosalind’s affairs are as they are. You’ve been through enough.” “Be very sure you aren’t hurting yourself—most.” • • • A storm that had been brooding angrily broke just as Constance reached M ike Flaherty’s camp. In a flash of lightning she saw Donna Flaherty’s trim little figure go from window to window. The shaggy black and white dog, soaked to the hide, hurried to the shelter of the porch, shook himself, and crouched in the corner. The happy shrieks of the little boys came from the river. Terry’s cabin was close. Leaving the car, she hurried over the soggy ground to the porch, opened the door, and went in. But she stood quietly on the threshold of the room, looking at her photograph on the desk. It was soiled from handling. “I was another girl then,” she thought, pulling the yellow hat slowly from her hair. “I wish I were that girl again.” How to tell him.... When he came in, she knew she would be weak and aching. But he did not come in for quite some time. She could not be quiet and sit and wait. The high brown heels of the brown and white sport shoes walked back and forth. This room. . . She would always remember it. There was a desk and a studio couch and several deep shabby chairs and many booka Terry’s brown riding boots, very muddy, were in the corner. His sweater was thrown over a chair and his pipe was a ‘marker’ in a thick book halfread. He came in just as lightning illuminated the room. His brown face and hair were wet and his dark trousers and white sweater were clinging to him. Seeing her, his eyes lighted up the way they always did when he saw her after weeks and sometimes months of separation. "Constance! I saw the car and knew it must be you!” He came to her and put his arms around her. “Why didn’t you let me know you were coming?” And kissed her and laughed and drew away. “I’ll get you wet! I couldn’t get those little devils out of the river. They thought it was great fun to swim in the rain.” "How are you, Terry?” Stupid thing to ask. He looked strong and happy. “I'm great Will you wait until I get into some dry clothes? Won’t be a minute." Standing by the window, she waited. Her forehead was moist and hot. Nothing had ever been as difficult as this. Nothing. He would hate her with the intensity with which he had loved her. Oh, Terry, in there humming, you don’t know! But in a minute you will know.. . . And all at once she thought she would prefer never seeing Gordon again rather than hurting Terry like this. The sudden sharp thought made her heart jerk. “But I can’t marry Terry when I’m in love with Gordon. That’s not fair. I've got to see this through.” Wearing dark trousers and a yellow sports shirt that accentuated his tanned face, he came out of the bedroom, got his pipe from the thick book, filled it. and lighted it. “We’re going to have a long talk before feeding time,” he said. “Sit down here beside me and tell me all about yourself. Tell me about Rosalind. Mother wrote me. Awfully tough on your mother—what happened.” Again lightning illuminated the room. “Not frightened, are you? You never used to be." Her voice was soft but strained. "Terry, you sit down. I—l want to stand.” And when he sat on the studio couch and crossed his long, thin legs and put his pipe between his teeth, she came quite close to him. He frowned. “What's wrong?

Don't try to kid me. There is something wrong.” She was standing so still and her eyes were frightened and she spoke as if it were a labor to speak. He nodded. “Bad news? What is it? Tell me." She took a deep, tired breath. "Terry, I’m—l’m going to marry Gordon Keith.” And paused, think ing, “I can’t go on with it! I can’t!” because the light died tn Terry’s eyes and his jaw sharpened and an expression she hoped never to see again in anyone's eyes came to his Jerking up her head because‘that seemed to relieve the tightness in her throat, she said softly. “I love him and he loves me. Last night he asked me to marry him in October He hasn’t been making love to me all these weeks you’ve been up here I haven't Seen him. I wouldn’t go near him. I—l left the job with him because I thought it was something that would pass and I hoped and prayed that it would. But it didn't. I . . ." “Wait!” he said. Getting up, he went to the window and stood for a long time with his back to her. His silence and the beating rain and the thunder and lightning were maddening. Trembling, her heart feeling that it would burst, she waited for him to speak. At last he faced her. “There’s a lot I could say, Constance," he said evenly. “But 1 don’t know that it would help any.” “Terry, I know I've hurt you terribly.” “Think of yourself. Think of you» life with him." He was thinking of her. Not until later, not until she was gone and he realized that she would never come again, would he think of himself and his hurt and his loss. But now he was thinking of her and of a man who had lost the respect of his friends and who had come running tike a man who had committed a crime to hide m a town that continued to feed his vanity. Now he could think of nothing except Constance whom he loved tenderly and passionately living out her life with Gordon Keith. Should he tell her about him? Or should he let her go to him, loving him blindly? It would not dissuade her to tell her. She would defend him as she had always defended the people she loved. No good would come of telling her of Gordon's past and his marriage. . . . Constance said. “I loved you, Ter ry. I loved you with all my heart and I didn’t want anything to come between us. I was the happiest girl alive. I still love you. I always shall." His smile was grim. “If I didn’t know you so well, I’d tell you that you never loved me. But you did. I know that.” “Do you hate me?” “I don’t now. But I probably shall.” “This is going to be very embarrassing for you.” “Don’t worry about that.” He spoke sharply because he had tight reins on his emotions. “Is there anything more to say?” She raised her eyes. “No. I guess not. Suddenly we’re strangers who have nothing to say to each other.” She reached for her hat on the desk. “Terry, I hope . . .” His hand gripped the pipe. “Let’s not have any post-mortems, please, or any sad farewells. Don’t wish me luck or tell me you hope I’ll find another girl to take your place.” Another girl to take her place! “Don’t feel sorry for me. I don’t want regrets over me to spoil anything for you.” Her eyes filled. "You do hate me.” But he shook his head. “I am sorry for you, Constance. Much sorrier for you than for myself." She went to the door and put her hand on the knob. “You tell me not to have any regrets. But I shall. And. Terry, thank you for not being ang-y and accusing. I don’t suppose we can be friends after this.. . ” “If we can’t he more than that, then we can’t be anything." (To be continued) Copyright ins Boonea , Distributed by King Fsaturss Byn<a«*te. Inc
