VERA LOSES A GLOVE
CHAPTER XXII
F was impossible, there in the
routine work-a-day office, to
forget the terror of the night be-
fore. Sue Mary mechanically
typed and filed and took dictation.
She listened to Babs Fleming
burst forth in confidential, whis-
pered details of her trousseau
shopping and tried desperately to
force an answering smile and a
faint show of interested enthusi-
asm in Babs' wedding plans.
"Gosh, Sue Mary, I'm so excit-
ed. Only a month—but it seems
ages to wait. Jim's so sweet. He's
so interested in everything we're
getting for the house. He was
over last night and we got every-
thing out and looked it over again:
for the umpteenth time, I guess.
"Sometimes I think it will be
worn out before we really get
settled. I mean things like linens
and china and silver. Gosh—I'm
so in love."
Her blue eyes were dreamy and
she went off into one of her peri-
odic day dreams, while Sue Mary
felt fear convulse her own heart.
She should be able to dream such
dreams herself instead of sitting
here now with icy terror gripping
her.
She had already called the hos-
pital three times and each call
had brought her no new informa-
tion. Joe was still in a coma.
There was still little encourage-
ment to give, except that lie was
holding his own and doing as well
as could be expected.
She closed her eyes and tried
to remember how it had felt to be
in his arms, with his lips close to
hers; how she had put herself to
sleep nights planning on what
their home would be like.
She looked up and saw Kitty
typing with flying fingers and
casting sidelong bitter glances at
Vera, cool and tailored today in a
white pique sports dress. Vera
was more self-possessed than
usual this morning. She worked
quietiy and efficiently with no
wasted motion.
Vera had her own course clear-
ly outlined and she gave no hint
of what she planned to do in the
'evening.
Sue Mary wondered if she felt
any fear, sensed any possible,
danger. But then she, too, was
in love. Natalie had pointed that
out. She was in love with Nick
and so blinded by that love that
to do what he asked was all that
mattered.
jfs * :H
JTITTY walked over to Vera's
desk. Sue Alary saw her toss
something on it and then heard
her say, "You must have lost tlii:.;
when you were here last night."
Vera turned, but Sue Mary
couldn't see her face. "Mine?"
she said in a low voice with that
husky note. "What are you talk-
ing about?" ,
"Don't give me that business,"
Kitty said sharply. "You know
what I mean. You should know
better than to leave telltale evi-
dence,"
Sue Mary swung around in her
chair and looked at the girls. Vera
was holding a white lace glove in
her hands. And her lace was a
study of absorbtion.
"You're being melodramatic,"
she said, evenly.
"No, yolt are. I know what I'm
talking about. 1 know wliat you're
up to. You've been trying to hook
Ross Clark from the first moment
you set eves on him. And you've
played this high-and-mighty ;lady
act, too. Last night you were
here ..with him. In his father's
office. You think you're pr^Uy
clever. But you aren't. You're
not half clover enough.:
Vera laughed. "Well, I made
the grade and you didn't. Why
not confess , that's really what
bother;* you? You tried, but Ross
Clark couldn't even see you. And
certainly I don't have to make ex-
cuses to j'ou for my presence here
last night with huh. This is his
office as well as his father's."
"Only I have my doubts if he
knew where he was or whom he
was with," Kilty answered furi-
ously. "Just what are you trying
to do?"
"My dear, you simply wouldn't
understand," Vera told her quiet-
ly. "And I haven't the time or
the inclination to draw any dia-
grams for you. If you. must know,
however. Ross dropped in here for
some papers oi? our way to din-
ner,"
CUE MARY wond"ered later just
what might have happened at
that point if Miss Grant hadn't
eorne into the office.
"It's a good thing you went out
to take that stuff from Air. Clark
last night," she told Sue Mary.
"He's collapsed again. Under dor-
tor's care.
"I wonder How long this terii-
ble business'is -going on: vvSiv
liysieria, rush gj'-pduction, nerves
cracking." She-'B^kcd tired and,
for the first time,packing in poise.
Even her careafc-woman front
seemed to have^tracked, reveal-
ing the helpless, feminine under-
neath.
It was a few moments before
the. clear import of her state-
ment ! it Sue Mary. All through
those 'ong hours when, she had
tossed in her bed last night, and
while site had subconsciously
gone on with her work daiing
tj.., nlr. •Uin.,> sh'o had tried to con-
sider ./hat steps to take about
Wrr. and her plans to' get the
papers young Eoss: Clark had on
the airport site-deal, j";v:" SI
And in the back of lifer mind,
silo knew now, was the final hope
tint she could go to old Ross
Clark and tell-him what she knew.
He was a business executive, com-;:
patent, capable to face any emer^
geney, but for- all that, human
and kind. Somehow she had felt
he could handle the situation—a
situation which ,flow more than
ever before left/her baffled and'!
helpless. ~
Bui now1 he was ill, inaccessible,
incapable of advising-' her or of
preventing what would surely
happen. It wasn't his . son that
mattered, she told herself over
and over, staring unscgingly at
the papers before her on'the desk.
M was the .fact that he would bo
•the.' Weapon that Nick and the f
YP could hoi-dfipover ;Governor J
Miller; living ahc-tit his defeat for
re-election and 'the .success, of a
mail whose policies wofild .be'-sai
opposed to all that was American.
Q HE knew the jvhole burden now
rested on hsr'spic. She felt so
incompetent, sovyoung, so unsure.
To go to anyone., in the; office it-
self would mearinthe truth would
inevitably leak V,out, and she,
couldn't bear to .think qf hurting
ckl Ross Clark by showing h-'s son
up before the whole city. ,:0>-
And, she wondered frantically,
wouldn't the thing sound pre-
posterous, impossible in the telling,
anyhow. ; Who W'quld believe her?
The story sounded like'a movie
plot. ' '
•What if She .were wrong? Or
what if Nick:ancgV.era were smart
enough to; prepare for .just such
an emergency? " -f 1
Surely they must haite ahtici-.
pated the possibility of being dis-
covered. In that-, case, Sue Mary,
after warning of the' plot, would
be left looking like an hysterical,
jealous, stupid lool.
