She made a wood tire in the stove and sat the iron kettle over the flame. Waiting for the water to boil, she stole down the porch into the old, neglected garden, palpitant with the murmuring hush of the night. 1 he moon swam In a sea of jade, and all over the vines went a ghostlike, silver lambency. She proved toward it In a dream head uplifted, burnished hair in the moonlight framing her face like a nimbus. She put out ber hands, awed and tremulous In the stilly radiance. This night in sprin#—this warm, quiet night and she here, quiet as the darkness, still as the leaves. She looked up at the moon now floating away in luminous clouds. Three years ago she had so watched the moon in the mountain garden where Ren Murillo took her the night of her marriage . . . watched the moon and felt ail. happiness; all youth, drifting away in a golden mist.. She watched it now with smiling lips and eyes filling. A sadness, yearning, pervasive and causeless, enfolded her like the nebulous perfume of the garden. March—three months since she rind Ramon had stood here, the rain pouring on them —his wet Ups pressed on hers. Sometimes she awakened at night with a vision of their two forms drenched and shadowy. confronting her from a dream. And in the routine of the old home with the cooking to be done, dishes to be washed, Isabel to he served, the whole episode of the cottage at Carmel now seemed a romantic, incredible fantasy. “Did it happen? "Was it all real?” she would sometimes whisper. Then the mall would bring her a gift—a brief message. • • • Ramon was in China.. Every few weeks he sent her some rare, beautiful treasure. Alice would lean over her shoulder, snap her tongue against the roof of her mouth with an Insinuating: “The kid in the office again? Rich, isn’t he?” “He’s got a wonderful job there. Things don't cost much.” Alice, raising her eyebrows and her Ups: “Well, far he it from me to discourage your little Intrigue, kid! If you ask my advice I’d say ’Make the most of your opportunities.’ Better to have regret In your life than vacuum!’* And Kandy would flippantly rejoin: "No monopoly on regrets.

"1 have taken Cardui several times for a run down condition and have found it perfectly splendid.” says Mrs. Lee T. Marsb of 713 First Street, T.vnchburg. Va. "About ten years ago,” she explains. "I became so weak I could not go about. I looked like a skeleton and . . . was dreadfully worried about myself. "A friend suggested Cardui and I decided to try It After taking one bottle, I noticed I was better. I kept up the medicine regularly until I had taken six bottles, and after that T felt like a different person. It built me up. I Improved greatly. ••Last year we drove up here through the country from Florida. I was exposed to the weather and must have taken cold, for I became ill ... I got run down, lost flesh, . . . could not sleep aud bad no appetite at all. I was so nervous that I did not know what to do. "I thought of Cardui. I began to take It regularly and It was not long before I began to feel better, I took six bottlea, one after another, and at the finish of the last one was perfectly well again. Since then I havo continued gaining In weight and all winter have been in perfect health. "I never felt bettor than X do now." \w Take swv SCARDUIS S AVe&etable TonicS \\VAV\\X\

dear. Why don’t you go out and acquire a few?” At such allusions to her age, Alice became morbid and shrewish: “Well, if I were 22 and knew what 1 know today!” Sho flaunted down the hall, that shoulder-blade of hers sticking out pathetic and accusing. Sandy would fold up the gift, all her anxiety, her foreboding and depression returning. Dike this morning when there came a shawl from Cathay—a brilliant thing with a background of green embroidered In soft, rich hues of lavender, blue and tarnished gold. The green was like a light against her red hair and shadowed eyes. Ramon’s note said: “Dearest, you lovo these glowing things. Your old one that you got from your unlucky cousin, that lovely Spanish girl you told me of—is worn to a thread. Besides, why should her unhappy mantle fall on you? Wear this. And may the moon shine sweetly through your grapevines. May it shine on us. I love you more.” In a flood of tenderness her thought went out to him. She saw him. She saw him, bronzed, vital and laughing. Yet always with another —not herself. She remembered his gallant kindness, but as though she had road of it—as though he were removed from her. And the thing was ended. * * * Now, standing In the garden, this sense of remoteness, of isolation from these tempestuous days, encompassed her. She felt quiet as a nun. Often in the night, sitting alone with her mother, this causeless, poetic sadness filled her. But the next day she would be fevered ajid restless. Sho would whisper to herself In agitation: “This isn’t going to last! It CAN’T last” she meant the dullness —the depressing emptiness. Then her dreams would sail buoyantly to heights of romantic adventuring as they had in her girlhood. Khe went In now and filled the hot water bag. Isabel was cold. Her hands and feet were icy. Kandy went up the dark, creaking stairs, running her hand along the old red lincrustra. At the landing, she heard Isabel groaning. Khe ran. Her mother raised her hand aim lessly as though to brush the hair from her forehead. Her head lay back on the poUow3, the mouth open. But she heard Kandy’s step antj made a faint effort to smile. All the prettiness was gone from the plump, soft face. The eyes had a haggard, troubled look. But this faltering attempt to smile sent a rush of tearg to Sandy’s eyes. ‘‘Was I gone long, galubchik? I had to make tho fire. Are you very cold?” Khe touched her mother’s hand# and was terrified. The fear was gnawing all tho time like a small, live thing on Kandy’s heart. When she saw that blue line of her mothers lips she told herself: “It’s been that way—it’s no worse.” Then she listened to her noisy breath. “It’s no louder—it's jUst the same!” But the hands a.nd feet, were lumps of Ice. She chafed them. She put the bag against them, ran down stairs and filled the bottles with hot water. She was afraid to return. She didn't. want to go hack to her mother's room. She dried the bottles , slowly. Then she went tearing up 1 the stairs. Pood Isabel--poor little Isabel left, alone there with that look of fright in her sweet, shallow eyes. Sandy leaned, down end whispered in her mother's ear: “Are you In pain, darling?” Isabel shook her head. Sandy stared at her mother. She told herself, shaking: “She’s dying —Rord, she's dying. I’d better call them.” But she stood motionless, her mother’s hands gripped on hers. “I can’t leave her.”

Isabel wished to speak. She motioned for Sandy to stoop. Sandy kissed her. She touched her mother's cheeks. ‘‘Do you want anything?" “Yes—wait—don't leava me—don't go away again. You were gone—long—too long—■'* “Oh, mother—no—" Isabel braced herself, her hand Hinging wildly up to her forehead. “Sandy—are—you happy?” "Yes—happy ns can be—” Kandy took those cold hands and held them against her breast. She said in a stricken, hollow tone: “I’ll call Angus—mother, do you wa.nt Angus—” And she waa so frightened she could scarcely move . . . afraid lest Isabel would pass and she there with her alone. The cold hands against her breast made her think of the baby—that little child of hers who ldy so quiet and so still against her heart. She said: “Mother—-wait—” and fancied again that vague, faint smile on Isabel's lips. “Mother!’’ Sandy dropped on her knees, hid her face in her mother’s hands. She looked up. Death like a cold, gray shadow went over Isabel's face. (To be Continued) SCOUT WORK SUBJECT leaders of Movement MTU Speak at Dinner.
