- CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

| HARP - TONGUED Amanda Pell, who was the village’s most influential woman, knocked deter- | minedly at the Chelsey door, observing the while that the little house with the overhanging second story was badly in need of paint. «When the door was opened by the limping boy, Dick, Mrs. Pell said with condescension, “I've come . to.see Polly’s new baby.” Dick Chelsey frowned. He had Polly’s handsome clear-cut features, but his eyes were dark and brooding "where Polly’s were blue and open. His shy sensitive manner made him ‘seem younger than his sister, though he was two years her senior. Dick disliked Mrs. Pell and mis-

father or brother. Nuisance always followed her. The little dog seemed as attractive to her as he was ridiculous to the villagers. It distressed her that Dick had no money for his medical course, and that soon there would be another mouth to feed. Yet the baby’s coming gave her joy, too, and a stout comfort against the seeping fear that some misfortune had overtaken Jerry. This had been Polly’s life through the winter and spring. When she held her child in her arms today, Jerry's son, she had bravely said that nothing else mattered. . . . Yet she was seething with anger now at smug Mrs. Pell in her fine ma-

roon dress—Mrs. Pell whose three |:

daughters were neatly married and doing well (two of them in Boston), each with a husband at her side. 2 8 =

HE said, “Mrs. Pell; I've learned there's one thing meaner and

tossing! You: mustn’t get yourself worked up.” “Oh Jerry!” Polly sobbed. “Other men write letters. Why can’t you? . . + It’s because youre dead, my darling! . Dead.” . The nurse finally had to summon old Trepid Chelsey and the lame boy to soothe her. “That cradle, now,” Trepid observed loudly to his son, “has stood up well.- I planed and whittled it myself the trip I made to the West Indies a month or so before you were born. . .'. Light maple. I took the wood aboard ship with me for the purpose.” “You did a good job of it. It has a graceful design and a good finish. . « Have you noticed, father, how Nuisance lies between the cradle and the door? The: intelligence of some dogs is remarkable. Let me tell you a thing I saw him do this morning—" Polly listened, noticed that she was listening and smiled wanly. If

OLLY flushed, “Richard Jere- ~ miah Whitfield, Mrs. Pell.” “Oh, yes. . . . Have you heard from your husband, Polly?” “No, Mrs. Pell. ‘It’s as I told you last week. There's no post lines on the Atlantic Ocean.” . “But ships do get into port,” Mrs.

terday. He'd posted it when his ship touched Providence.” “Oh, did she have a letter?” exclaimed Polly, wistful and off her pis she di “Yes, she did.

but as she read the rehearsal notice on the stage bulletin, her even white teeth bit deeply, unnoticed, into the red softness of her nether lip. The notice itself was routine. But what held Lisa’s eyes with a compelling fascination was the signature appended in-a careless scrawl. Bruce Arlington, stage manager. Before Lisa’s eyes, as she made her slow way back to the second-rate hotel where she had registered the evening before, appeared not the normal semishabbiness of the streets but a maelstrom of disconnected scenes. Bruce Arlington as a confident, handsome and successful young leading man in musical comedy, well under 25, with plenty of hard

Their swift, hectic romance and the unreality of . their wedding on the stage after an evening performance, with all the cast assembled and a dark house staring at them grimly from the other side of the footlights. 5 It had all been too good to be true. Bruce was a man ‘destined for bigger things. Lisa no longer felt rancor or bitterness that, after a pitifully short six months of marriage, he had pulled loose of his obligations—deserted. It had been so long now. . . . Besides, she had had many years

she spoke measuredly. “Maybe it had to come some time! But I sincerely hope that—what has happened between us—will make no difference!” “Difference? In just what way do you mean that?” “Let's get this straight at the start, Bruce. I know I'm not a young girl and you do, too. What I do know is that I can act. This part the agency got for me means a great deal to me, and to another person. I've gotten to that point where there are only two ways— up or down!” Bruce considered her thoughtfully. “Lisa, it was a rotten thing I did to you. My only and best excuse is youth and so much glitter before my eyes that I couldn’t see beyond. It wouldn't happen now!”

erase ugly events that are over with. There is no use living in anything but the present, in the moment that is upon us, and trying to do the best we can with it! That’s why I want so much to make a success of this play.” - “I see. You're right, Lisa, and things will stand on that basis. From now on, you will stand strictly on your own merits, and our private lives will remain out of the consideration. This play means a lot to me, too, you understand. I own a piece of it, bought with the salvage of all the years I've been on the stage!”
