All persons, except those with delusions of grandeur, are conscious of defects; and New Year resolutions are admission both of imperfections and a desire to do better. The more an individual is addicted to .New Year resolutions, the more he jrives evidence of modestly recognizing: his shortcoming's and an earnest wish to make the New Year a little less futile than the one before. Tins urge for improvement is the suving jrace of humanity and the one bright promise in a watovn world. Uneasily conscious of social, economic and political imperfections the world, even now, is making New Year resolutions except the Axis nations alone, which- suiter from delusions of grandeur. Unlike the Axis nations, the Allied nations are subjecting thon'se!v"S to a scuching exaniinat'on with the object of '.-.(dialing their own national lives with their professions of democracy and justice. Therein lies the iHjrtit hone that all of this death, suffering 'and deprivation will not be without some recompense. Pl: Miing i the chief manifestation of this hope. Everywhere, here and abroad, nationally and loc;H ,-, nbmners are al work. Just a few years ago. in this country- nt least, planning was in bad repute. Derisively it was imputed to starryeyed bra;n trusters, as a symptom of their detachment from reality. IUtt now the ha rdheaded, practical men of business have seized on it. I'lannim?' has lost its unsavory implications. Its need for implementing our New 'Year resolutions is recognized. And so the world advances, inch by inch, heartbreak by heartbieak.

SYNOPSIS When Drue Cable learned her former husband, Craig Brent, vas tbe victim of a so-called accidental bullet. she persuaded her friend and fellow nurse, Sarah Keate, to answer with her the call made by Dr. Claud Chivery from a small New England town. Sarah was unaware of Drne's previous connection with the Brent family, which included Craig's father, Conrad; Alexia, Conrad's glamorous young wife who, at one time, had hoped

to marry Craig; Nicky Senour, Alexia's twin brother; and Peter Huber, a friend of Craig. Anna Haub, maid at the Brent mansion, told how Craig was found in the garden the previous night, adding, "Beevens, the butler, said it was an accident-Mr. Craig was cleaning a gun." Alexia ordered Drue to leave before Conrad Brent discovered her presence. Drue told Sarah the strange story of rier romance with Craig. They married more than a year ago and Conrad disapproved, Craig's work in the diplomatic service summoned him to Washington, and Drue returned to New York. Shortly after, she received a letter from Conrad (which he claimed Craig had asked him to write) stating his son had resigned to enter aviation training, only to discover married men were ineligible. Conrad said Craig wished Drue to divorce him, but promised they could remarry when the training period was over. Drue got the divorce but never received any reply to the letters she wrote Craig. Now, she is determined not to leave until Craig regains consciousness and can talk with her. Dr. Chivery told the state trooper that the bullet he removed from Craig's shoulder was accidentally thrown away; the gun, too, is missing. He warned Sarah not to repeat anything the patient might say in delirium. Later, Craig mumbled something about "yellow gloves." From the window, Sarah saw Drue disappear behind a hedge and emerge with something hidden beneath her cape. A few minutes later Drue entered the sick room, just as Craig cried out, "But that's murder! Tell Claud. There'll be murder done." Sarah is summoned by Conrad Brent and followed Beevens into the library, as Maud Chivery, the doctor's wife was leaving. Conrad insisted Drue

leave at once. When Sarah told him his son was already aware of her presence and repeated what Craig said about '"murder being

done, he sends Beevens tor Drue Eecause of Craig's critical condi

tion, he tells Drue she may remain

until the morning when another

nurse will arrive. Drue flares up when he denounces her for intruding and exclaims, "I could kill you for what you've done to me!" Sarah, narrator of this story, declines Conrad's invitation td tea with the family. CHAPTER TWELVE Maud Chivory's eyes glistened with interest. Alexia's face stiffened, and she made a small quick motion as if to rise from her chair, but Conrad walked over to her and put his heavy hand on her shoulder. Alexia put one soft white hand caressingly over his own and instantly his face changed and softened. It was obvious that, whatever had happened' in the pa.t, Conrad Brent was almost fatuously in love with his young wife, who had been once, and nut o long ago, his son's fiancee. "Shu goes tomorrow," he said. Alexia did not relax; her eyelids drooped a little but it seemed to me that under the soft shadow of her

eyelashes she shot a demandingglance toward her brother Nicky, who looked into his cup for an instant and said, "I wonder what Drue wants." Maud Chivery made a little shushing motion wii.h one brown claw but glanced eagerly at Conrad. "That is not a mime I or Alexia wish to hear uttered in this house," said Conrad with really astonishing command and dignity. Nicky's elegant face and small crimson mouth looked fleetingly a little ugly; but he lifted his cup again without replying.

Bather abruptly I said that I had

to get back to my patient and Peter

Huber straightened suddenly, put

down his cup and said something po? lite to Alexia. She didn't look at Peter as she nodded to his polite murmur; then he walked across the hall beside me and started up the great stairway when I did.

At the cuwc 1 glanced down. Alexia was silting perfectly still in her groat chair, her crimson suit a spot of rich, soft color, her pearls reflecting a rosy glow from the fire. Her head was bent a little thoughtfully, and there was in her face again, despite its indubitable beauty, a hint of underlying cruelty. Then I looked at Nicky and saw exactly the same thing, a subtle, indefinable twist of his red mouth, a brooding quality in the soft repose of his face . . . something cruel. Maud Chivery's dark little face twisted over her white stock to watch us go up the stairway. Then we went above the landing and could no longer see the silent group below. Peter Huber was still with me when I turned along the corridor toward my patient's room, Once we had passed beyond earshot of those in the hall below, he said, "Wait a minute, Miss Nurse. I'd like to talk to you. It won't take a moment. Here's a chair." Well, I suppose it could have been called that, although it had almost certainly been culled from one of the bigger and better medieval torture chambers. A bulbous-legged cupid leered at me from a dark tapestry across the opposite wall, and Peter Huber' asked, "Is he going to die?" "I hope not. I don't think so." He was a nice-looking fellow, as I've said; very blond and very big but not so boyi.sh as my first impression led me to believe. He was tanned as Craig Brent was tanned. There were line lines around his large blue eyes and around his squarish mouth; his features' were large and rather Vmnt, his hair curly and strong-looking.' He had rather good hands, long and muscular and was dressed m very British tweeds but was not British, although there was a slight Haver of something European about him; perhaps it was his enormous politeness; Anyway, he looked at mo earnestly and worriedly, .mid '-Weill, "Has he told you who shot him? I'm sure he knows." Telling Peter Huber the things Craig had said was not like telling Conrad Brent. Conrad was Craig's father; besides, he was in a position of authority. "It was accident," I replied discreetly. "He was cleaning a gun.'.' Peter Huber looked straight at me. "In the garden?" he said after a moment. "At night no, Nurse. What really happened'."' I got up. "You should know more about it than I. I've got to get back to him now." "But oh, all right." He walked to the door and put his hand on the doorknob. "I won't bother you," he said, smiling- a little, "but if I can do anything . . ." "Thank you." He glanced in the SUCH IS FAME

room over my shoulder and then,- ' without attempting to enter, closed the door behind me.' Drue was standing beside the window. It is strange, really, that women deck thcmselves.in silks and jewels and furs. There is nothing that sets . off beafity like the simplicity and whiteness of a nurse's uniform'.

And Craig-- Brent unconscious and drugged, and for -that night hovering in the" nebulous, incalculable margin, between life and death. Presently, Drue said. "I'm going now. I'll try to sleep. I'll take over at twelve," and went away. It was then nearly six o'clock with rain coming now in gusty squalls against the windowpanes, . and the house was very quiet. I had plenty to think of as moments dragged along, and I must say I didn't at all fancy the sum total of my thoughts. For," any way " I looked at it, Drue was fighting- a losing battle and yet she was determined to light it. The trouble was, of course, Craig . Brent had done nothing at all to find her again. In these days, I told myself, fathers don't deal out autocratic commands to their sons. The sons won't let them. They say in effect, Okay, Pa, I'll go and dig ditches if I have to, but I'll marry my own wife and support her. too. Craig Brent had done nothing like that. I was thinking that, watching nim, when he moved a little, sighed, and tucked the hand Drue had kissed tinder his cheek. He did it without opening his eyes, without really waking. lie sighed again like a contented child and dropped back into sleep. . Well, time went on and I wished I had my knitting. Nobody came near me until Beevens silently brought my dinner tray and, half an hour later, returned as silently to carry it away again.' Somehow, I half expected Alexia or Maud Chivery or even the doctor, but as far s I knew no one so much as approached the door. The night had turned stormy and colder, with gusts of wind and rain, and it wasn't very pleasant sitting there in the gloomy bedroom with the wind blowing wisps of smokt back down the chimney now ami : then, and a shutter somewhere flapping. I began to watch the clock a-;' little nervously. Once, overcome by -- a distinct impression that every- Abody else had gone away, vanished mysteriously into the night, leaving me and my patient alone in the great and somehow forbidding house, 1 1 got up and looked into the corridor My first glimpse of the long night-lighted corridor all but confirmed my fantastic notion, it was so completely empty.
