cHAprgg xxi Chria never >aw David alive again, but going faacit on thw train that night, he thought over what hr had said. Even it Beverly cared enough eventually to marry him, eould abv adapt he reel?, or be happy, with auch part of hie life aa he could give her ? He aaw Letitia Mortimer bent with a thoueand burdene not her own; aaw her face when the mare came home that night years ago with a saddle but no nder; saw her indomitably bearing ami rearing tall sons, woritiag in the house, helping in the oAre. Nev. crthelesa. ho felt that be had left behind hint something of triumph, of victory. It waa in them both, that look of work well done. And now harvest and the setting sun. He went back to his work and to occasional visits to the Lewis house, now much more quiet, for Annie had done as 4ie had promised, and Great had ordered her to bed. A blight had come down from the sky and lay heavy on that hilltop. Bev. erly was *ad.aad remote and not a little terrified. It was no time for love-making. Beverly would ask. white-faced and silent, "Will she suffer, Chria?” “They’ll look after that, my dear." Looking back on those months later, he was to remember them as a jumble of hard, driving work, of hasty and sober hours with Beverly, and of quiet intervals in a cool and orderly hospital He was not on duty now. but be waa still called in on emergencies Occasionally ho operated. He was utterly content then with e w return of that early feetuig of his, not that he was king or God. but that some of that power on which old Dave had depended had for a time passed into him. And then old Dave died, and not from age after all Chris received a telegram from Hiram: “Father killed last night. Automobile accident. Mother asking for you. Can you come?” lie went at oace, shocked aad •tunned, and a day or two later ho saw old David laid away in the country cemetery where he had always said he buried al! his mistakes. The crowd was enormous, •nd in the forefront stood Letitia surrounded by her boys. She did not look down. She stood with her head thrown bask and her eyes on the sky. as if she saw David riding in triumph there, looking after his own somewhere beyond the clouds. That night, lying alone in her big bed. the other aids hollow with tbs weight of that misting body, she sent for Chria The boys had gons back to their houses scattered over the big farm—neat white wooden houses, each with its wood lot, its barn, its and its overflowing children. David Mortimer had never wanted any land, they said, but what lay next to his! So there was plenty of land. And Letitia, lying there alone, was thinking of all this, that the boys had plenty and would have more, and that Chris, who was also one of her boys, looked worn and not too prosperous. “Sit down. Chris," she said in her thir. voice. He cat down and took her hand with its knotted veinx She was like David himself, still indomitable, •till undefeated. “I’m lonely tonight." she told him, for David He's al! right. He would be glad to get rid of his body. It had troubled him a lot lately.” She catne at last to her reason for sending for him. She was like the old doctor in some ways; her body was troubling her now. and she didn't care how soon she could cast it off No. nothing wrung. Just a nuisance. But the point was that she had uved a little money of her < own. end when that happened, it was to go to Chria “What I thought was maybe you’d take it and go abroad to study. Chris. It might be enough." He protested, but sh« was firm.

Nona of the boys had atudied medl- ' cine, and (hat had disappointed thrir father. He had always hoped - secretly that Chris would follow him there in the country. And she relaxed only when at last Chris agreed, aa he left her with that hollow beside her*He noticed that cm of her small hands lay there, as if perhaps, now that old David waa gone, ahe felt closer to him than she had ever dared to be while he lived. There was nothing to toll Chris, that night, that the time would Cume when he himself would find sanctuary and almost puace in that tarn* baUrovaL He went back to the city again. ’< If-cunfident and perhaps the better far Letitia's confidence in him, to his work, to aeeiag Beverly, and to face again the problem of the Walters family. • e e e May vnited in a buret of heat. It hung in waves over the car tracks on the street and set the paving soft under the feet. Only the Lewie garden, where he somaUmaa sat with Beverly, was aa oasis of green in the general drabness and heat Career went about panting, end more than once Chris took him oat and turned the bone on him. The dust whirled m at the open windows, and down below the mills the river shrank, leaving its mudbanks cracked in shallow patterns. The city work increased, but his private practice had shrunk, leaving Chris anxiously examining his books and his bank account His nerves began to go under ths pressure. Now and then Annie lewis sent for him. and he would ait by her bod and hold the hand ahe extended to him; but they were never alone so that he could answer the question in her eyes. “How is everything?” she would ask in her faint vote*. “Fine. Don't worry, my dear." That wm the nearest he could coms to reamuring her. His presence seemed to comfort her, however. She would dose off. holding to his hand, and he would sit quietly until she awakened again. Then one day it happened, and be told her in a half whisper that afternoon. She stared up at him from her pillows, and suddenly her face looked relaxed and content. “My boy." she said. “My eon, Chris. My son. I always wanted a son." It was quite simple in the end. aa such things era. He found Beverly in a secluded part of the garden crying aa if her heart would break, and he merely put down that inevitable bag of his and took her in his arms. ‘•Darling!" he said. “My own girt Don't cry '.ike that." "I can’t help it." “I know, sweet. 1 know.” “I caat ery in the house. I daren't let her see me with my eyes swollen." “Let me kiss your poor ayes, Bright sunlight ail about them, the imposing grounds around them, and nobody in the world but the two of them. “I love you so desperately." *T didn’t think you did. I’ve been terrified." • “I’ll take care of you now, darImg. Take care of you all my life, God willing." It waa as simple as that. He was utterly happy and content after that. Ho could not save Annie Lewis. No power could do that But to Beverly during these days he waa a roek in a weary land. She was more nearly demonstrative than she had ever been The small casual earesaes of most families had never been here, and her kisses were 'till the kisses of the child rather ihan the awakened woman But there were times when in his arms he felt her sigh and reins, end bu heart leaped. She wastes. She waa lovely and lovable, and *te> was tun, “You do leva me. darling?"

> “I adore you, Chno* I But tteir times tegethu were I brief. Th® telephone would ring. <>r i ha would look at Ma watch. i "Wall, I’ll have to go." i "But you've jaat cume!" "It'a a strange thing- my child, i but a woman having a baby just ! naturally wants a doctor around. > Nine timea out of ten she could do i just as well without him. but there . you are. . “Wall have to have thia out. BevI erly," ha went on patiently. “My I life dividaa itself into two parts. ; Ona of them ta the service part. It belongs to my work, and it makes , ma diflteuit to live with. The other part is you. That's vital, so vital , that I’m afraid to think about iL I And somehow we'll have to reconcile > the two." "I'm to get what’s left ever. Is that it?” ; “That's not fair, dear." i "If I eared less. I'd be more fair. ; Chria. I'm sorry." i Nevertheless ahe was happy, fiercely and poeeeaaiwly happy He i would belong to everybody before ho belonged to her. For richer or ; poorer, in sickneas and in health. , she would be his. and he would only , now and then be hc-ra. But she put that thought away from her There was no announcement of the engagement and for a day or two Beverly did not even tell her fathe- He waa rather unapproachable now. faatidious and dapper as ever, but shutting temaelf into his study in the evenings and looking older, aa if a Might had suddenly withered him. Each evening he went in and eat with Annie, and these visits now were longer; but be could not entirely conceal his fear of these hours with her. or his rasenunMt that now at last ahe waa failing him. "How ara you tonight?” “Comfortable." ahe would whitper. "What sort of day did you have?" He would tell her, and she would listen. The morphia made her mouth dry. and now and than she would like a tip of water But ha would not stay by the bad. He would move uneasily about the room, picking up this and that. “Where'd that come from?” “You bought it for me in Naples Don't yon remember?” He did not love her. ahe thought. He had not loved her for a !<mg time. Sometimes she felt that he was silently enraged against her. that she made him feel sinful merely because be was alive and welt But he waa gentle enough after his fashion. He was even almost gi-nne" on the night when Beverly finally told him of her engagement, although Ms face was set as he camo into Annie's room afterward. “What’s thia nonsense about Bev. erly and young Arden? Is it serious?" “She's in love with him." "And whst about him? Is he in love with her?” "So I gather." "A doctor!" he srnd. "What kind of Ufa will she have? At every body’s call all hours of the nixh: •nd day. And no future in it. Why couldn’t she have picked somebody worth while? What do they expect to marry on? He's got nothing." She wiad to moisten bar dry Ups. “They haven’t talked of marriage yet. Os course she'll have what 1 leave her." She was aurprised to sea his ta.a twin, aa if she had hurt him. It couldn’t ba possible, of course. Not after all those years. But how ironic if ho still eared about her now that she waa going on somewhere else, where it wouldn't matter at all I “Were not talking ebout that i yat." he eald, and stooping over, kissed her for the first time tu years. Then he stalked out of the room. (To be continued! Cavrriatc *. Um> Smwu SimsmS e»o<a>w4 W «>M two* l.aSu.w Im
