“THE IMKTOR" by MARY ROBERTS RINEHART

CHAPTER XXXI Shortly before Christmas Chris found himself, so hit surprise, on ths executive council at ths c.’uk and was asked to Uip for the hrtatmM dance Kails went to ins Nurtm-r,-. trass* and bought a new evening dress. _ She n dress, and | ths and Chris were gayly dancing at ths club, on the afternoon of thst day tn far-off America whsa Beverly took bar usual (towers b> tbs cemetery. She had her own key to ths mausoleum, and aha opened ths door and went in alone. It was bitterly cold iaaide. aad the drew a fur coat around her at the tat down on the marble bench. After a tune ths slipped down on her knars and mads her usual prayer there, that God and his angsts keep her mother busy and happy, and not to Ist her be atone. Oh, never to Ist her be atone* (tor aha had bogus to realise now that tn soma ways Annie had always been alone; much as she herself was alone now. Not that ths put that in her prayer. That wet dons, and she wet not whining She placed her flowers on the top of the marble catafalque and went out again The car wet waiting in the road, and a fins tnow wet felting. All around bar wars buried lives and buried hopes. “Like Snow upon ths Deserts dusty Face .. .” She shivered, remembering. She gave a dinner that night for her father's friends; and the wet sitting, dutifully smiling, over ths flowers, ths silver, and ths hothouse fruit when ths VofulctreAe with its twin Gothic spires wua acclaiming three o'clock of s Vienna monung and ths birthday of the Christ Child, and Chris, having had too much - sweet champagne, was taking horns sn irate Kalis. "You've had too much to drink." "It's Christmas only ones a year, Katie." "And don't call me Katie. My name is Katherine, if you can pronounce it* “Merry Christmas, Katherine!" He fell asleep in the taxi, and in his sleep he was back in the Lewis house on a Christmas Eve long ago. Jake was dead, and Staunton Lewis was slipping away, going to ths telephone. Then he was sleeping, and Beverly was trying to rouse him for hot coffee. "Chris! What's the matter with you anyhow T Get out and pay ths • cab driver " The portlet was shivering as he lighted the small candles which store to see them up the stairs, and ha received his ten Hollars—or two cents—with a muffled “Danke." Chris climbed rather uncertainly behind Katie She eras a few steps shead. small. Indomitable in her own wrsy, ruthless It seemed incredible that they should be there, climbing that staircase together There was something wrong about it. Katie carrying her determined little candle and he following it. He had never meant to follow Katie. lie had never wanted her But at the top, because he had bed too much wine and bemuse be was sorry he hsd ever married her. he took her In his arms and Kissed her. “A Merry Christmas, darling." She relaxed in his arms. She sras not defiant now, nor determined. <i-« w«s hie and, for what it was worth now aud forever, he was hers. “You looked very lovely tonight." “Did I, Chris' I thought yon nadn’t noticed." He did not gc into their room at jnee. however He wandered into ’he salon and turned on the light. The Christmas tree which had been ighted earlier in ths evening was still there. It sat in the center of tip table, with the stein marks covered now by n plaster group: the Wise Men. the Mother, the shepherd and his sheep, and in a small wicker ■rarfie the Child Himself. But the randies had melted and run down, snd some vandal had set s wineglass near ths cradle. Chris carefully removed it. • • • • There were plenty of straws in the wind that year, with Europe an trmed camp, watchful and wary. German bands in the streets of London: “Don't give them money. They’re all spies." A small secret rshal in Vienna, secret even from ths old mas who drove out daily

Never ths toss there will be war. But whys Why la ths name of ths good G<3 a war? la America business was not good, with production sUll overcoming consumption, sad Staunton l-ewis fighting a strike now; locking bis mills aad sanding men in by river. The strikers discovered ths boat that night and fired on it, but tbs city went an about ha business. It was that winter that ths Annie Lewis Research Laboratory was r-ts Wished, its primary purpose ths study aad possible cure of caacsr. Beverly knew nothing of it until she sew the stories he ths newspapers, but It touched her deeply. She saw behind it her father's toaeliussa, perhaps even his remorse. Beverly went regularly to ths hospital, for she had taken her mother's place oaths Woman's Board. Ths hospital seemed empty snd silent without Chris in his long whits coat striding along with his head throat forward. She would stir uneasily in her chair. “I have to report from the Needh work Guild ths receipt of ten doxen roller towels, ten doxen tee towels, ten dozen ~." Why had he married that girl? How could he ? She was cheap, common. The other nurses were different. but she . . . After ths meeting there would be tea They would go downstair* to Miss Nettis'i sitting room, and ths tea table would be there; ths big old urn, the sliced lemon, little cakes, sandwiches. Mis* Nettie ia a black silk dress behind tbs table, for the poured her own tea Roses on the desk, the eletter of cups and saucers, end, over all, ths hum of soft elderly voices. Ten over, they would rustle out, well dressed, well-bred women, going back to their cars- to what? Were they happy? Was any one really happy ? She would smile at them, her wide young smile, and they would smile la return. “You are like your mother, Beverly." “I wish I were." Thee one cold day when ths snow > lay heavy in ths courtyard outside the windows snd ths car was tote in coming for her, she found herself by Mi«s Nettie's firs ia a low chair, and ell the others gone. She turned suddenly ssd faced ths older women “Why did hs do it. Miss Nettie? ’ Why did he ever merry her?" “Chris?" “Yes, Chris. She wasn't the wife for him. Ha must have known it." "Perhaps ws are both to blame. Beverly. He was so much ia to*s with you. When you tot him go—" “I wrote him. Us never answered." “Hs must have barn terribly hurt. Hs is proud, ray dear. You know that." Beverly said nothing for a mo ment She sat looking at ths fire, shielding her face from It with ths hand which wore Jem's ring. Then ths stirred. "I was ta lo*e with him, too. I suppose in away l always shall be." Her face was somber under her wide hat; and Mist Nettie, who kaew as much about Jerry as most snd perhaps more, felt her heart contract sharply. These two young creatures, so unnecessarily suffering. Time would hsal it. of course They would live oa and forget, snd soma day even trails osar it, but not sow. “Perhaps It's better as it to, Miss Nettie. His work will always come

- first with him, end 1 want it to da r thst" t “Yes. His work would have to I come first, of course." “Then whenhssttacked Father—" "He was right to do that. Bcvrrty. I It had to be dons. Have you never ; thought of thst ?" : "But at such a time ?" "Thst was ths only tuna, to he i effective." Then aad there she told Beverly [ of Chris's marriage; of thst wild 1 last night of his, with Katie aud I denly on his hands and no place for i her, aad his promise to Henry. Standing there at her door, with hts ticket bought and his ship sailmc > the next day and that girt outside in i a taxicab. I "Hs want out ‘•> get her, and when bo didn't some bach— If I had known, Bsverlyl If I'd only known! If I hsd dreamed for a moment that hs would do whet hs did--” "But why ? Even then why marry her?" "I think she had threatened something desperate. Probably to hill herself, or to go on ths street for s living. Well, it's dons now. No use worrying about it. Ones m s loss time I get a girl like that here, but not often And the may be good for Chria. She's young snd nmbi lions. She'll want thing*, snd hell have to work to supply them. That Is bettor for s men than not being able to give a wife anything she couldn't have without him." Beverly flushed. "I ess," ths said slowly. "Even yon didn't think Chris ought to marry me" "Hs is a man, my dear. Ha would always want to make his own way.” She got up, drawing on her long gloves, picking up her handsome fur coat. "Ha must have cared for her. I still think that." “Cared for her? There are a dozen ways in which a man can cars for a woman, and not be ia love with her. Yon know that." Miss Nettie hesitated, looking up at ths face out of which ell the carefree youth had already gone. "I'm an old woman snd I'va teen a lot of living. Beverly. Let him go, my dear. He hat his work, and he has a wife. Don’t hurt him again." “I'U never hurt him again." One night as Miss Simpson sal alone in her room by a dying fire her assistant cams in. “Do you remember that Ursula Martin who hsd a baby here in ths fall ? She'a back. It looks like pneumonia." Miss Simpson sat up suddenly. "Wkere Is she?" “!■ C Ward Ska didn't want a room. “I’ll go up." Ursula Martin lived for three day* On either aide of her bed stretched a row of similar beds. They stretched on and on. thousands of beds, millions. They went out ths window snd around ths world. Sometimes she slept, but not often, and s time came when her breathing seemed to her to fill the ward. She could hear it herself; breath, pam. breath, pain. She had none to spam for talk, so the lay silent, saving her breath. Somet ine*, day or night—she did not know—aha would see a dark figura sitting ereet beside her. an elderly woman with her hair brushed hack frtum her face, and sss day found herself shut ia with that figura. the other beds wiped out. They sat together ia a small white muslm trorld. the two of them, and Ursula knew that the screens were up. snd what that meant. She made a terrific effort and whispered. "Give my baby to Doctor Arden." "11l find a home for him, Ursula. You esn trust me." But she shook her heed. “To Doctor Arden." she persisted In thst difficult whisper “You heard me?" "Tea IH tell him." She died that night, and the next day Mise Simpson wrote to Chris. "I have ths baby hers," she said, "sad we caa keep him for a while at least. But Ido foal. Chris, that this at Mast is not your problem. I ran find a good family to adopt the chiM. snd I heg you to let me do It. I must, however, fulfill my promise to bar. aad tall you thst she left ths child to you " (To be continued! CSSl'Utl »* Utn Mm SaOM MauikaWS St SH« SVMera, trll iw Iw
