It was just such a night, sharply
clear and frosty under the same
stars—the night of Mark Wister’s
funeral—that Tony Bradshaw had
first mounted the worn steps of the
Wister house with hope—necessa-
rily postponed—causing his heart to
beat wildly against his ribs. Just a
year age, before the Kilcrans came
into their two lives.
His heart no longer beat madly
as he mounted the steps; it was
like a lump of lead in his chest
The expression on his face light-
ened when Barbara opened the
door and gave him her hand, but
his heart did not. She was thinner
and all the vitality had gone out

Think of it! You get two Super

ful benefits of America’s Super
Breakfast Food—plus lovely
tableware with every package!
Delicious Mother’s Oats is
naturally "triple-rich”* in the
great "anti-fatigue" Vitamin
Bi! It’s rich in food-energy. In
Phosphorus for strong bones,
teeth! In Iron for rich, red
blood! And Oatmeal leads all
other whole-grain cereals in
body-building Proteins! Be sure
you get both these Super bar-
gains—the extra, healthful val-
ues of America’s Super Break-
fast Food, and handsome table-
ware at your grocer’s today!

"I’ve seen people In your shop.”
She nodded. “Yes, they come to
borrow books—and to look at me,
maybe."
"Why should they?” he asked
stoutly.
Barbara walked the length of the
room and back and then went to
the window and spoke to him, with
her back turned so that he would
not see her face:
“That’s what I don’t know, but I
have come to know a lot of things
In this last year about people. I
know when they want to be nice
and feel that they have to hold
back. I know when they’re curious
and when they’re not, and when
interest is furtive and when it is
not! Curiosity, and furtive interest
and people’s being nice but not
cordial to me. . . . That’s what
I’ve been getting lately, Tony, my
friend. You see I’m on trial for
something.” She turned and faced
him then. “The awful thing about
of her, the glow that had“first at- it is that I don’t know what It Is.”
The doctor pulled on the lobe of
his ear, rubbed his chin and looked
everywhere except at her. If only
he dared ask her to tell him every-
thing that was in her heart. As a
physician, he knew that .talking
about it should give her some re-
lief.
She went on:
"It isn’t only in business that
this perse . . . this ostracizatlon
is going on. It's everywhere appar-
ent. The women 1 thought were my
friends, liked me. . . . Oh. they're
nice, yes, but really cordial, no!
They don't invite me to their
houses, or to take part In any ac-
tivities. They Ccn’t even stop in
just to chat anymore. And I’m too
proud, Tony, to ask them why.

Should I?"
Tony didn’t answer. He was en-
grossed in examining a hole in a
clgaret and a search for the right
words. For he was convinced that
the diagnosis he had privately
made accounted for more of her un-
a happiness than the collapse of her
• business, important as that was.
He couldn’t com* out and tell her
that he knew she was in love with
Kilcran. He couldn’t help her until
she told him herself. And he
couldn’t blame her; he had only
pity for any woman who had the
heartache that must surely be hers.
Abruptly he said, “IF there’s any
reason back of all this—and mind
you, I haven’t admitted that there
is—have you any idea in your own
mind what It could be 1" His eyes
did not meet hers when he spoke,
because he didn’t want her to see
that It needed little searching for
anyone to have seen the way she

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
I IT WAS a little after 2 o’clock. ’
an unheard of hour for Barbara to
appear for the first time during
the day, but It had been long after <
three when she finally went to
sleep. She had many things to
'think about and she had indulged
iln the rather sadly pleasant ro-
imantlc experience of routing Tom 1
[Kilcran from her delayed girlish •
(dreams. .
I She greeted her assistant with [
her usual bright smile. “How goes
everything, Ellen?”
Ellen’s face was long.
"Oh, Mrs. Wister, terrible!”
•Terrible? How could It? What
do you mean? Not that you ...”
She looked at the girl. Ellen had '
been promised that she could dis-
card her braces within a month and
Barbara remembered that she was
>to have had an examination the
(night before.
I “Oh, it's not me, Mrs. Wister,"
Ellen said. “It’s that the telephone’s
been busy ever since 11 o’clock
land . .
“But that means business Is
good, my dear. Have we any orders
in the mail ?” Barbara turned back
to her desk, relieved.
I Ellen handed her a memorandum
pad with a score of names on it.
[“All cancelled," she said. 'These
are the reservations for the nurs-
I “Cancelled?" Barbara said
[blankly. “Why?"
j “I don’t know. No one gave any
[reason. • . . And Mrs. Walker
called and wanted to know when
[you’re going to New York again.”
“Maybe she wants me to get
something I can order by mail. Did
she say what it was?”
| “No. She just said she wanted to
[know when you were going.”
| “But she knows I go every fort-
night I’ll ring her up.” She dialed
[the Walker number.

All these things, that the events
of the month past had done to her,
Tony saw through the eyes of a
physician and the heart of a friend,
and while she told him the story of
everything that had happened, he
felt miserably inadequate, as phy-
sician as well as friend, since there
was nothing he could prescribe for
her.
She had been talking for more
than half an hour, reciting method-
ically each little thing that totaled
up into the disastrous sum total of
failure. She tried to keep her voice
even and reasonable, but her puz-
zlement and hurt broke through
poignantly:

thing was booming—the telephone

people coming anu going in the

"That's something that couldn’t
possibly be," he told her with such
conviction that she flashed him a
bleak smile of gratitude.
