I've only been here once before, but you know the apartment. Come along,” Pamela snapped. Stephen reluctanly escorted her to Mildred's door. Connie answered their ring and regarded them in undisguised surprise. Pamela stepped through the door she held open without waiting to be asked in. Stephen hesitated. ‘Come in,” Connie said to him most uncivilly. She was boiling, as she told Mildred later. "We've come up to see Mildred,” Pamela said brightly, "Please tell her.” CHAPTEA XLIV CONNIE flushed angrily at Pamela's request, couched as a command. "Mildred Isn't, receiving company,” she said shortly, but Pamela had moved on until she stood before the door to the living room. There she saw the injured girl, propped up with pillows in the big arm chair. She ignored Connie’s words completely and walked on into the room. “I'd like to roll you round the block.” Connie thought resentfully. She closed the door behind Stephen and let him follow Pamela unannounced while she hurried back to her mother to tell her Pamela was there with Stephen. Mrs. Lawrence glanced at her housedress. "You go back and stay Connie, until I change," she said nervously. “She would come at, this hour,” Connie remarked. “Poor Milly. poor child.” Mrs. Lawrence said to herself as she hurried out into the hall and down to her own room. In a few minutes she came to the living room, looking very neat in a dark printed silk dress that Mildred had given her for Christmas. Pamela was surprisingly sweet to her, coming up as she stood uncertainly in the. doorway and asking about her “broken” arm. “It was a burn,” Mrs. Lawrence said absently, her eyes on Mildred. She saw that the girl was pale Bnd trembling. Connie stood by her chair, an arm thrown round her sister’s shoulders. 71 % RS. LAWRENCE looked at Stephen where he stood awkwardly by a table, his hat in his hands. “Won’t you all sit down?" she said

When Mrs. Ross’ closed eyes did ] not open to her frantic pleas, Tony Tarver laid the grizzled head back upon the clean linoleum of the kitchen floor and sprang to the sink ior water. Pilling the little tin measuring cup that hung above the taps, she knelt again and sprinkled cold drops upon the grayish-pale face of Sandy's mother. There was a .gasp; the eyelids quivered, then blared wide. The familiar voice, very weak now, quavered with the ghost of its usual vigor: "My land! I mighta knowed it’d rain on Thanksgiving day!” “It’s net raining, Mom Ross," Tony laughed jerkily, as her strong young arms raised the plump, middle-aged body and cradled the head in the crook of her arm. “You fainted. Mom. darling, and scared the life out of me. What was the matter? Was it—bad news from—from Sandy?” There was a reassuring, though weak little chuckle. "My land, child! Don't you ever think of nobodv but Sandy? Reckon he's all right. He always is. Never saw such a boy to land on his feet — My stars above! What's that burnin’? My cranberries?” “I'm afraid they're ruined. Mom.” Tony sympathized, as she sprang to turn off the gas flame and to open the window wide to clear the room of smoke. “I smelled them burning and came to investigate, is how I happened to find you. Don't fret, darling. I'll cook some more for you. . . . Now. what happened?” "I stood up on a chair to rummage around on the top shelf of the cupboard ior that old recipe bock of mine, and I guess I lost my balance. Seems like, though. I kinda went dizzy first. I ain't so young as I used to be, Tony. Anyways. I fell off the chair and it musta sounded like a ton o’ bricks. Tried to ketch myself and twisted my ankle. I guess. It feels sorta funny. Help me up. Tony, and we’ll see what the damage is. . . . Ouch! Lordv, that hurts! Draw up that chair and let me set till Dennis comes home from the store. I sent him to ‘the delicatessen for a box of sage. “But I’m afraid you’ll have to cut my shoe off honey. Looks all swoll up, don’t it?” she concluded interestedly, thrusting out the injured loot.

timidly, trying to do as she knew Mildred would like her to in the circumstances. “We haven’t but a moment to stay, Mrs. Lawrence,” Pamela chirped. “Just wanted to make sure that Mildred is recovering from her wound. Wasn’t It dreadful to be sh . . "Pamela, perhaps Miss Lawrence doesn’t care to have any one go over the accident.” Stephen broke in hurriedly. He was calling himself a fancy lot of names for failing to warn Pamela that Mildred was keeping truth regarding the attack made upon her life from her family. Pamela stuttered, then finished smoothly: . . shoved down the stairs.” She had understood Stephen’s stress on the word "accident” and she had seen the look of dread that swept over Mildren’s face when she spoke of her wound. "It’s really nothing at all,” Mildred said quickly. Then she lifted her eyes to her mother. Miss Judson came in to tell us about her , . . wedding,” she added, and the pain that she strove to keep out of her voice went straight to her mother’s heart. “Yes,” Connie said with extreme bitterness, “they’re going to be married, and go to Africa and come back and live in a whole wing of the hotel.” Pamela smiled at her. "Oh. no, dear,” she said as sweet as honey, we’re going to live in a tiny apartment and I'm going to get one of those cunning little typewriters and learn to type Stephen’s business letters for him. "Perhaps you would teach me, Mildred,” she added, turning to the girl whose heart was on the rack. "Applesauce.” Connie ejaculated to the horror of her mother. Pamela only laughed and murmured: “Love does such wonders." “I’m sure I ” Mrs. Lawrence paused, unable to complete the wish for happiness she had intended offering Pamela. Mildred’s eyes entreated her, “Let me get you some lemonade,” she said huskily and made her escape through the dining room to the kitchen where she hastily wiped her eyes. It was almost more than a mother could bear, she thought—seeing her child's heart break before the happiness of a girl who seemed to take all that the world had to offer for granted. B B B SHE hoped and prayed that Stephen wouldn't divine what anguish his visit and Pamela s was giving Mildred. She knew her ‘daughter’s pride, and the thought that she had left her to fight alone to conceal her pain drove her to make the lemonade in haste. She omitted the thin slices of fruit and did not even! bother to take out the seeds. Then, tightening her lips and gathering up the painted tin tray with the everyday glasses, she made her way back to the living room. She needn’t have troubled. to serve the refreshments. With a wave of her hand Pamela declined the lemonade when it was proffered to her. She did not pause in her running comments even to say no, let alone thank you. The kick she was getting out of telling Mildred her plans for her | wedding and her honeymoon—while it wasn’t all that she hoped it would be—was better than anything she could get out a glass of lemonade. Mildred wasn’t reacting the way

By the time Dennis Ross, who was "Pop” to Sandy and Tony, came ambling in from his errand, the oldfashioned, high-topped shoe had been cut away, the sprained ankle was being soaked in a pan of very hot water and a doctor was on his way. Between them, Pop and Tony got the protesting woman into bed. “Who’s goin’ to finish my Thanksgivin’ dinner, I'd like to know?” she grumbled. “Ain’t a mite o’ sense, goin’ to bed and playin’ sick just on account of a twisted ankle. Once I git it bandaged up, I can set in a rockin’ chair and do my cookin’ as easy as you please.” "But I don’t please!” Tony scolded, "because I’m going to have a swell chance to show off by cooking the dinner myself. For once in your life, you're going to lie in bed like a baby and be pampered, if Pop and I have to tie you in.” “Tony’s right, girl dear,” Dennis Ross soothed his wife gently. The doctor put an official stamp upon Tony's and Pop Ross' edict. “You will have to stay in bed, Mrs. Ross, for at least a week. I’ll send a nurse to look after you—” But Tony stepped forward eagerly to interrupt him. (To Be Continued)

j she had hoped. There wasn’t a sign ! of envy on her face. Suffering, yes, ! but Pamela couldn’t be sure that it ; was not caused by physical pain | and the experience Mildred had j been through the day before. Pamela had hoped to make her | wince and wTithe. That’s what she had come for—to show Mildred that even though Stephen might rush up to see her the very first night he was out of jail it didn’t mean a thing. In fact, she even went so far, with Stephen standing by, ,to my ♦hat she had asked him to make the call. Stephen considered it jurt a bit of polite social whitewashing. That it. was a knife thrust in Mildred’s heart occurred to him no more than it did to question Connie’* statement that Mildred had a sweetheart. She had been very careful on her visits to him in jail to give the occasion no more than a friendly aspect. Stephen considered her a trueblue ally, loyal and wholehearted. It wouldn’t have surprised him to learn that many men loved her. He drank his lemonade thirstily, grateful for its acid coolness on his parched throat. Why the devil didn’t Pam stop her prattling? Couldn’t she see that Mildred was tired and her mother looking harassed? And that young Connie stood there scowling at them like a black-browed hater! It made him nervous. BBS T)UT Pamela didn’t allow anyone to tell her when it was time to go, Stephen knew by experience. “We owe so much of this to you,” Pamela was running on, having seated herself on the edge of a chair she had pulled up close to Mildred’s. “I must send you something from Africa. Perhaps a real leopard skin for a coat, a genuine Somali. You could have it made up plain and wear it with a wide brown leather belt, suede, I think. “You’d look awfully smart in it, Mildred. I'm going to ask dad to buy me a chinchilla wrap for my trousseau. There aren’t half a dozen in the shops bu,t I won't want it for several months. “Dad can send it to Paris. We’re going there after we leave Africa and then we’re going up to Norway for the ski jumping. “Oh, you just ought to see Norway in winter, Mildred. I know some English people who have a place on the coast near a little towm called Mandel. “I was there two years ago. It’s the loveliest spot. I can’t think of a more idyllic place for a honeymoon. We can walk for miles through the park—all the land between the village and the beach is a park, if you please—with moss a foot deep and the most intriguing and unexpected little glens and dells and glades and. ...” she paused, breathless. “Valleys and vales and dales and dingles,” Connie carried on. “Why don’t you get a thesaurus?” Pamela lifted an eyebrow. “Really, they do teach everything but manners in the public schools, don’t they?” •Mildred reached up a trembling hand to Connie’s. "Don’t mind her,” she said to Pamela. “She’s just a freshie.” But the pressure of her fingers told Connie of her gratitude for having put an end to Pamela’s raving. Only it wasn’t at an end. A further remark of Connie’s started Pamela going again. Perhaps she’d have started anyway. "What are you going to do without jazz?” Connie asked. “Jazz?” Pamela repeated. “Believe it or not Stephen and I are both just too glad to get away from it. We want a chance to commune with nature and find our deeper selves. “You know, I think half the married couples don’t know each other realy. Life’s too hectic here in America. We want to find a place where we can be all the world to each other. “Where we will get to know the meaning of every little word the other speaks. You know’, I'm sure that two people can grow to be just like one when they love each other as Stephen and I do.” B B B SHE beamed at Stephen, who looked at that moment like the living embodiment of what love can do to make a man uncomfortable. Pamela smiled with satisfaction. He would leave her to pay a call on another girl, would he? She guessed more of Stephen’s mind than he knew himself. She’d know from the beginning that Mildred was the girl he wanted; that if she hadn’t thrown the glamorous veil of her own personality and cultivated loveliness before him he'd have homed straight to Mildred long before this. But it wasn’t what Stephen wanted that mattered to her; it w T as what she wanted. And she wanted Stephen. (To Be Continued)

As it escapes through the valve, it expands and its temperature tails, because expansion is a cooling process. After expansion, the cold air is led back over the outer surface of the same pipe by which it came, whereupon it rapidly regains its former temperature. But in doing so it cools the pipe itself and the air within it. This latter air in turn expands and falls in temperature, but as it was cooler than the first portion before expansion, so

it is colder than it was after expansion. As the pressure within the pipe is maintained by a continuous supply of compressed air, the pipe becomes colder until finally the expanding air at the value, liquifies in part and is collected in a suitable receptacle.
