Want on without Mopping, too. leaving Chris to carry in th* faithful creature that had loved him, and later to give him decent burial under a tree in th* back yard. tally did not dare to speak to him that day. and »h* told Miss Barker later on over the back fenew that he was acting very queer, and that he had thought a lot of the dog. She was dozing In her chair late that afternoon when Chris, having seen the car on its way home, deliberately put on hi* hat and started up the hill. Re was tightlipped as he entered the driveway. He did not go to the house, but circled around It until he came to th* garage, and there confronted th* 1-rwis chauffeur, a big man. kicking hi* tire* and smoking a eigaretta. Th* man knew trouble when he saw it coming. He threw away th* cigarette. "You killed my dog today,* said Chris. “Yeah?" Why didn't you keep It out of the street?" "Killed it and went on." said Chria inexorably. "You and your damn dogl If you're looking for trouble, you've come to the right place.” “That'* precisely what I’m looking for." said Chris, and hauled off with a straight right which landed on the chauffeur's jaw. Five minute* later he picked up his hat and departed. He was considerably battered, but he felt better than he had for day*. The fact that he had left hi* opponent sitting on the cement fluor, groggy and bloody, was comforting. Some of th* accumulated fury of day* and week* had exploded daring th* battle. ' A* a matter of feet Chris, having accepted Beverly’s marriage, did bis best to forget her that summer Aione on hot nights he was quietly preparing for Europe and study on Letitia's flv* thousand dollar*. He was fn-shening hi* college German, at. 1 even studying a small phrase book of common medical terms He was reading surgery again, also, and spending time in th* operating room watching other men work. Katie, on the operating-r-xim staff now. would see him coming in with that eager thrust of the rhouldera as if hi* mind were traveling ahead of hi* body, and would wa'ch him surreptitiously. When he smiled at on* of the other nurse*, she would grow hot with jealc-nsy. It was in August that he took off Scott's finger "It’a got to go. Scott" “Go ahead, but I'd like to save the hand." But Chria. with th* X-ray man »n the table, aurveyed the dried and burned tissue* and knew that eventually the hand would go also. "Why don't you quit. SeottT* "It's all I know. 1 can t let my family starve." One day. however, going unexpectedly into the X-ray room, he Found Scott practicing writing with Ma left hand. Neither man said anything, and Scott put hi* paper aside and showed him hi* fish in the anteroom Lately he had taken up the raising of small tropical fish a* a hobby. They required considerable car*, and Chria surmised that by filling hit leisure they helped him Ursula Martin'* boy was bom early in th* fail. Chria attended her himself. She had insisted on going into th* ward. Now and then he saw her there, rocking quietly among the others and awaiting the miracle of birth. At time* when the nurses were busy, he would find her holding some fretful baby, and would marvel at the tenderness in her face. She was still eaim when preparing for her labor She took down her long, heavy hair and braided it. and walked quietly to th* delivery room wh*a b*r time cam*.

It waa a hot day. and th* birth was slow and difficult. Chrl*. leaning ov*r her after It wa* over, waa dripping with sweat. But ah* waa arnttma. » "A boyT" she said feebly. “I wanted * boy. 1 shall call him for you, Doctor." He put the child down In th* crib. “Then I'll keep an eve on him for you." he said. "Well mak* a good job of him. Unula." She looked happier after that She could depend on him She had felt weak and alone. Now ah* was not alone. And Chris, stopping in Mia* Netti*’* room on th* way out. told het a little of the story. "She wanted th* child." he said, “and now the ha* It The father will pay her something, so that'* all right But I'd like to feel that some on* know* about her while I'm away, in case of trouble." "You know who the father is?" "I know," he said briefly, and she eyed him. “You ar* an incurable aentimentallat Chria.” shetoid him. "What on earth it this girl U» you? And haven't you enough.on your hands without her?" But she agreed, and he left more easy in bit mind. loiter on he told Ursula, and she thanked him gravely. "But there will be no trouble, Doctor." the said. “I'm strong, and so i* be." "And you won't mak* any trouble?" "Why should I?" I have my baby." The next morning he taw in the paper that the Jervis Ameses had returned from their honeymoon and were to live In the Lewi* house. Beverly had com* home—with Jerry, of course—to Holmes smiling at the door, to her father, formal but apparenGy pleased, in the hall with his new tapestries on th* walla and flower* everywhere. She wa* not unhappy. Jerry loved her. after hi* fashion. But she had no feeling of belonging to him, or indeed to anybody, even to her father. That small, dapper man. cool and aloof and obsessed with hi* own affairs, seemed to her now an absurd figure around which to have built a furious loyalty, and looking at him over tne long length of the handsome d.nner table that night, taciturn and self-centered, she knew suddenly that she had thrown away the substance ot living for this shadow, arrogant in hi* dinner clothe*, critical of his meal, impatient at the service. “Hurry up. Holmes! Get some food in here." “Ve*. sir. In a moment. «ir." The footman hurrying in. Hulmes impassive. Jerry hungry and di inking too much champagne, and herself alcre in her mother's nlac*. ' iv<iated from them both, from their. "That’s your fourth glass. Jerry And you had a lot of cocktaila." "Dnn’t com* home from a wedding trip every day. honey." Sitting there In the candlelight, with her anna and neck bar< ami | her white dress shining, and facing her situation with her usual hor. esty. Beverly knew that if she did not love Jerry, she waa fond of him He was cheerful. He sang in his bath, whistled while dressing. If his superabundant vitality had tired ' her at times, there were othe't ' when she wa* grateful for it. And he was proud of her. On that tnp . of their* he had found friend* in 1 the most unlikely place*, would Immediately plan a party and *ur- ' vey her carefully after she had ' dressed for It. i “You're looking eery love-y , sweetheart." i He would kiss her passionately, i and she would do her best to reI apond But it wa* acting, and he I knew IL He had never really won i her He would release her and go away, drinking a eocktail or two - to restore hi* self respect and lessen i hi* sens* of failure. Even after . three months of marriage he was f still courting her. she knew; Mill trying to win her.

Bittlag there playing with het feud, she wondered just what there was to hold the three of them together, her father, Jerry, and herSelf. For year* her mother had sat where ahe waa sitting » Had the wondered that, too? She could remember long alienees at th* table, broken only by th* stealthy movement of th* men who »erved the food. Now even Jerry seemed daunted. He caught her alone In the hall after dinner and grinned at her. "Cheery little meal, eh?" he said. "Ar* all like that?" "Frvtty much. You'll get used to IL“ "Will It Not If I ean help It. Iwt’a get the rwr and gu some where." “Our first evening at home?" “What can w* do here? Sit and twiddle our thumb*?" la the end they went. They would alway* be going somewhere she thought and she gut . wrap He was tireless, filled with animal energy. Hl* cheerfulness was a part of that vitality of his, and already she knew that if th* did not go. be would go alone, and she was determined to make her marriage a success. She had paid a high price for it it must succeed. Neithe’ of them knew, that first night of their return that in an upper ward In th* hospital Jerry's sen wa* lying In hi* mother's arm*, and that the waa holding him almost savagely to her breast Beverly saw both Ursula and Jerry'* child before they left th* hospital. She had token up her mother * work of making layettes for th* babies in th* obstetric* ward, sitting in th* garden taking her fine stitches or cutting flannel into absurdly tiny garments. She dreamed no dream* sitting there on bright autumn day*. Rather she lulled herself into acceptance with her needle. Thia was her life, the only Ilf* ah* had ever known, or. she thoughL she ever would know. When *he had finished her flrat layette she took it to th* hospital, substituting good deed* for happiness. She waa startled to find Katie Welters there, very neat and com petent. and she was aware that she was being subjected to close inspection from head to foot. "I brought eoti:e cloths*." she said. "My mother always did iL and so 1 would like— ” “We're glad to get them. Mrs. Ames," said Katie. "I'm only relieving here, but I'll take them if you like." i Beverly glanced around th* | ward.
