COPR. 1943 BY NEA SERVIC

“Boy! Get a load of this—the supply sergeant who gave me this * uniform!” . ;

so terrible? He tried hard to separate the many mental: pictures of her—to see her as she stood in the moonlight that night of his birthday supper, and said: “I'd like to be your girl. I guess you're my sweetheart, too.” She was such’a baby. That was when he was fourteen. She was—he stopped, startled by a new thought. Why! He was seventeen now, and—Renee was sixteen! That meant she was a big girl—growing up, tall, maybe, like Cassandra. He knew she thought about him just as he thought about her. ... “Let's be sweethearts forever, Renee,~you and me . , o al! right . . . cross your heart? . ..” No—no—no; she wouldn't forget, she couldn't! As he edged up the long slippery terrace steps he thought of Drake's disquieting remark: “You and I are mighty near in the same fix.” This solid house and these secure acres of ground—they could pass away and belong to someone else.

Drake had so casually said: “When|

the place is sold.” It would be his when his grandmother. died. Maybe he’d just keep it and try to run it as she did. But then he wouldn't be able to be a doctor, and he had to be a doctor. She wanted him

to be, and of course he would do

as she wished.

“Gee!” he muttered. “I wonder

‘what's going to become of me.”
