CHAPTER SEVENTEEN “1 don’t agree with Doctor Me- 1 Cormiclt, Reyna,** Gail said. “And I * am not following his instructions.*’ Reyna looked up at her, and said ' steadily, **l have entire confidence in 1 you, Gail. You continue doing what you think best for me.” 1 Her rounds, during the afternoon, ' proved satisfactory. Little Nma I Sermalino was progressing nicely. 1 Mrs. Spartalini, the matriarchal old 1 grandmother, was ready to go homo. : And, later, when she returned to Reyna's room, Miss Lanahan told her that the sick woman’s temperature was no higher than it had been 11 in the morning. Gail left the hos- ' pital feeling easier. Reaching the curb, she saw a taxi stop; Howard Thayer and his daughter Lucienne alighted. Lucienne came over and kissed Gai! warmly. Howard shook hands with her, and asked about Reyna. “She’s about the same,** Gai! told them, afraid to be any more encouraging. “What did Doctor McCormick say about her condition?” Howard asked. Gail flushed. "He wasn't very communicative. I imagine he’ll call you." “Can we see Reyna for a bit?” “Better not. She was sleeping when I looked in a minute ago.” “That’s fine!" Lucienne said, her pert little face glowing with purpose. “Well track down Doctor Kramer instead and buy him a drink." She squeesed her father’s arm affectionately. “Daddy has agreed to let me take the nurse’s aide course. Isn’t it wonderful?" "It certainly is," Gai! answered-. “You’ll look out for her, Gail?" Howard asked nervously. “Os course!” Gail answered. “But vou needn’t worry. She’ll get along beautifully. Before you know it, the doctors will be eating out of her hand.” "Only one doctor,” Lucienne said candidly, “and his name io Kramer! Isn’t he a darling. Gail?" Ralph Kramer a darling? You blind baby, Lucienne.... She turned to Howard. “Are you hiring any more men at the plant? The father of one of my patients needs a job, Howard. His name is Johnny Sermalino, but I wasp you, he’s not much good.” i “Still, we always need men,” Howard said. “Send him over." I

Mundt said Hurley would be I asked by the house group to "name names aud cite InstaDcos" to back up his charges. "We Int- nd to ask Gen. Hurley | just who are these men." Mundt said. "We want to know specifically how they are sabotaging our foreign imllcy What methods do they use? We hop- he ran give us the answer.” Mundt said he personally believed the "Pro-Communist poliey saboteurs" were employed "in the lower echelons of the state depart inent" "We found out something shout their methods on the old Dies committee." he said "We discovered that some ot thea«- Commun-ist-supporters were deliberately changing reports as they came in from overseas. They would then I pass the warped version of the report on to the higher echelons." Mundt said he suspected that "This might have occurred in the case of General Hurley's reports from China.” Hurley, it waa learned, is assembling a mass of documenta to present to both the senate and hous' committees. Secretary of state James F Byrnes also may be present at th" senate hearing The committee will decide today whether the pr-as and public will be admitted Hurley'wants to testify in open seasi ion.

The phono was ringing as she entered her house. “11l take it,” she called to Katie. Probably a patient But It was Burke Gentry. Her hand, holding the receiver, began to shako. “Oh, Burke." she whispered. “I just got back from Washington an hour ago,” be Mid. Was that the way to begin a conversation with the girl whom you’d left for good? No explanations, no apologies. "1 want to see you tonight,’* ha added. “Can you get ready in a half-hour?” "My magic lamp is out of order," she Mid. “but I’ll do my bestl" She wm an idiot, oho thought, to fall so eagerly into his arms. Why can't I lie more feminino, more guileful? Thea she realised suddenly that he must have given up hie camping trip to return to hor, and the heavtneo in her heart diMppMred. Burke was sweet, really; blunt, masculine, tactless, perhaps, but you couldn’t help loving him. She went into the living room, smiling faintly to herself. She was still there when Burke rang the doorbell. “Gail/” he cried, coming swiftly to her. “Hello, darling. I'm back!" She went into his arms and his mouth caught hers hungrily. All her doubts vanished. “I’m so glad, darling,” she whispered. “!*» *° glad.” Katie gave him a drink, while Gail went into the bedroom to change. She was humming to herself, as she slipped Inta a blue silk frock. She felt wonderful! If only she and Burke could have a nice evening to themselves. When she returned to the living room, Burke said, too casually, “We’re celebrating tonight, honey." "Are we? What about?” He stood near her, tall and bigshouldered, his blond head towering above her like a golden erect, his tanned face a little self-satisfied. “It looks as if your old friend stands a pretty good chance of becoming Captain Burke Gentry!” “Burke!" She stifled her first rush rs disappointment. “Then it has coma through! How wonderful!” “Hold it, darling. Maybe the celebration io a bit premature. They aren’t handing out commissions the way they used to—but I seem to stand an excellent ehanee.” "Where are we going?" she said, i Ho put hia arm around her shoul-
