CHAPTER XLVII Chris hardly saw Katie sitting with unaccustomed patience by his bed; a Katie with swollen eyes which she tried to help with powder. A Katie determinedly cheerful, coming in smiling, Jugging in boxes of flowers, bringing fruit, fresh eggs, small .’are of broth. But a diffident Katie for’all that, not coming too close, never offering to touch him. Standing a little way from the bed and playing up breathlessly. ••Bern a good boy and eaten your spinach?” Ho would try te answer la kind. “Absolutely, ill soon have to be ho«'d and weeded.” When the nurse left the room, however, she had little to say. Her old chatter was gone. Caught off guard, she looked frightened, but if he noticed it at all, it waa to think that her fear was for herself rather than for him. i “I’d better go, Chris. I’ll see you tomorrow.” •’Righto. Better get out and stir some air. I'm pretty poor company.” Once ho wakened from a dose, however, to find her furtively wiping her eyes. He waa astonished. He even made a move to put out that helpless right hand of his toward her, "What Is It, Katie?” “You Mill be able to uee it again, won’t you?” He looked at her. Did she earn that she had destroyed him? Or waa she merely anxious for her own security? “You mustn't blame yourself too much, my desr. We both contributed to what happened." He smiled wryly. “We'll get along somehow, you know. I can still practice medicine, if that's it We may have to cut down, of course." "I suppose 1 deserve that” she said as she got up, and went quickly out ot the room. But she was still Katie. Gradually her visits grew shorter, little by little she took up her old life again. She came in one day wear ng a corsage of gardenias, and he guessed who had sent them. He was not greatly concerned. She would have to go down with him in the general wreckage,* or ultimately she would leave him; and as he lay there in his bed it did not seem greatly to matter which she chose. He had no illusions. He was crgipled, certainly for a long time and probably forever. All well enough to talk of another operation, another attempt to find and unite the nerve ends. Repair nt best would be a matter of six months. It might be a year, and it might be never. Yet he was sorry for Katie even then. Lying there during the long days and endless nights, he knew that his failure to love her had lain behind ail the other failures. She had given him her youth, her vitality. and at one time at least her love: but he had not wanted any of them. Perhaps it was only fair that in the end she had destroyed him. For destroyed he was. tn spite of all reassurances. Men did not drop out of his highly competitive world for a year and then come back easily. i Too many others were waiting to I take their places, and a surgeon's reputation was like a woman's—a 1 word could destroy it I • • • • I Chris was a new and strangely quiet man after the second operwI tion. spending long hours pacing the I floor of his room at the hospital, eating little, sleeping badly, and paI tently unapproachable: Submitting | to faradic cunenta and massage and diathermy, submitting to 1 Katie's visits and her new and voc- | ative sense of grievance, submit- . ting to internes* jokes and the more sober visitamf the staff. But spend I ing long hours alcnt when h» merely I walked up and down the r-om, trying to plan, trying tc thin*. But a tune came when Ted. enterI ing the room.

“I've had enough.” Chris said. “I r may get better, er I may not But » I'm going to get off somewhere ami i work this thing oat for myself.” I "And that" said Ted cheerfully, t "is the first rational thing you've - said for weeka. What you need ia a I good funk holo for a while. Now > where's the hole?" "I used to have an old undo in tho ■ country, a deeter. His house ia etill I there, and It’s empty." ‘‘Made for you." said Ted prompt- ■ ly. “Then when you some beeh— 7 “I may not eosno beck." "Tut-tut Several tuta. la feet You*U be at work agnia ia a year. Maybe lose.” But Katie, liotoning to him later ' on. grow pale whoa he teld her. "The country?” she said blankly. "What will wo do with the houaoF' "I'm not asking you to go, my dear. You would loathe it. and I'm no company three days for man or beast You know that Later on. of course " “YoaU be glad te get rid es xse. wont you? I'm just something arouad your nock. Liho Father and Mother, and oven Diek. I’m just nothing. That's it isn't, it?” “Net at all." bo said patiently. “We can't go on as we have, that’s all. The house will have to go. I don't know when HI be earning again. And it's been a long time since you were peer, Katie. You’ve forgotten how te be. I know very little about you these days, Katie; but I know enough to realise that you eant change your manner of Lving overnight And I want to aay thia, too. If you would like to be

free—" She sat staring at him with rurioualy desperate eyea. Free? What would she do? With Bob Barrett running after another woman now? With her youth going, almost gons? Suddenly she was crying, crying uncontrollably, a* a child erioa, openly and unashamed. He got up and triad to quiet her, using hta left hand at* kwardly to touch her. “Don't, Katta Doni ery. I thought you might want it Why stick to me? What can I give you? Not even a living." “I did thia to you, Chria You cant go to that place alone." “Don't ery. dear. It will be al) right" “I mutt look terrible, Chris." "Y'ou can never look terrible. But soon she was powdering her nose, wiping away the »freaks of mascara from her ch.-rite. She was the eternal adoteecent. he thought She would never grow up. Somehow she and her kinS must always be fared for. and there would always be men to do it One day Seott came in, his empty sleeve stuck so usual ia his pocket He wss cheerful and as neat as ever, but Chrie had a picture of himself like that, carefully dressing with one hand, even learning to tie hi* tie, to lac* his shoe*; and found himself shaking. "How do you do it Seott?" “It was hard enough at first. Later I got used to it I hardly miss it now. Os course my wife helps." Chris dosed his eyes. Katie, trying to fix his tie or fasten his shoes! But one dsy after that he got a pen ctl and paper and began practicing his signature with hi* left hand. Th* pencil wav awkward in hie fingers, but he tried it over and over, hi* mouth set hla eye* determined. Other men had learned. He could. He would. But the result was heartbreaking. He threw the penetl out of the wndow and grinned up at the nurea. “Go on out" he said. “I'm going to blubber like a kid." Chria saw Beverly just once during that time. Hi* door was open, and she was passing along th* hall. "Com* in." he caKed to her. “f osse and cheer the eripple I See where la m Th* best room* are not too good for me!”

I "I’m glad you’re comfortable. And : they toll me you'll be all right, I Chris." “All right. In the best of all poo- , eibie worlds." ho said. "They lie, j > but they mean well." i "But there's a chance, lent ’ there?" “Os course. Theree a chance 111 i be President some day. too, but I think it's unlikely.” She was wretchedly uneomfortable under his eyes, and the lash ia his voice, as if he dared her to pity him. She went rather pale. "I’m so terribly sorry, Chris." she said. "That’s inadequate. I know, bet there really isn't much to say. te there?" “Why be sorry?” he said lightly. "I've seeded a rest for a long time. Now I've got it. And I’m learning to use my left hand. Would you like to see mo sign my name with it? It’s worth watching." "Chris, if you are going to lot this tnalie vou -*• He dropped his gibing voice. “I’m not bitter. Beverly.” he said more gently. “Pro been filled with resentmoot. That's natural; and maybe I’m seared. But I'll make a fight of it. Don't worry about that” She stayed a little longer. He was more like himself now. more friendly. He even talked of his plans, such as they were. But when she got up to go. she felt that at last she had loot him; that the Chria she had known was gone. "Shall I come again, Chris?” “Why not? Come and brighten the day form». Any day." He held out his left hand, smiling

down into her eyes, but the jeering • note had come back into hi* voice, t and she knew that she would not go t back; that having her see him a* ha ’ was, was only another blow to hia ! pride. A week later he left the hospital. • Katie took him away, driving their I car carefully, his bag ia the back t of it hia arm ta its sltng. The house was unusually quiet qnd la order. I Upstairs hia bed was ready for him. ■ neatly turaed down, and the table ! beside it set out with whatever he might need. Whatever her fault*. I Katie waa making tueh antrnd* a* she could. I “Is there anything I can do, Chris? Can I help you to undress?" But he did not want her help. He , wanted to be alone to face the facta and to ehart hia course. There would • be some money coming in. There ' was a good bit outstanding on hia > books, but with the fatalism of his . profession he knew that a part of it ' would never be paid. And there ) would be bin*. Katie's bills of all 1 sorts: dressmaker*, food, caterers, even bootlegger*. He was astonished to find how much he owed, snd ’ that night he told Katie th* hou-e would have to go as soon as possible. “W* can't sacrifice it, Chris. Look at all the money wa’v* put into it." She fought hard for the house, i They could elose it. and if Chris still ■ wanted to go to the country for a rest, she had a lot of house parties which would fill tn the summer. Then • in th* fall they could make some i plena H* listened patiently. “It’s not a matter of the summer. Kaue It's a matter of a year, or two years; God know* how many years. 1 can’t carry the house under any conditions. It was all I could do bo- ' fore. Now it's out of the question." ■ Certainly he was very difficult > during that period. For a few day* he stayed indoors, gaining in ■ strength, learning painfully to care for himself, to drea* his big body, to shave with hi* left hand. Katie, ' moving about, would hear him ewearing softly in the bathroom, and take ear* to keep out of hie way. On* day he earns across hi* golf club* in a closet, and she saw him standing there looking at them. Then he quietly closed the door and went away.
