It was night time now in the beautiful apartment that had no kitchen. Kathleen lay weakly back against the satin cushions of her chaise lounge and listened to Mothers voice run on and on. She felt that she had been hearing the voice through endless years of cold, helpless agony, "Apparently, from his appearance and the business that hes in, hes a man of the world, and he certainly should never have married you till youd had time to think" it all out and consult me.

How could you wait? Poor child, youd just had more than you could bear and you fainted dead away. It was no wonder, with everybody making the worst of everything. Death is sad, but people with good sense take it calmly." Kathleen moved restlessly on the chaise lounge. Johnny had no way of knowing she had fainted; he would think she had gone away and left him alone with his anguish.

"You lady who dont mean that Johnny. Youre the plump, tailor-suitetalking wildly because your nerves had moved Into his home. When Kathleen Manners mother sails for Europe, Kathleen decides to marry Martin, a friend of many years. On her way to him, however, she meets fascinating Johnny Virginia, owner of Medicine Man, race horse. She falls In love with him and upon their arrival In Los Angeles, marries him instead of Martin. Afraid of upsetting her mother, she keeps the details of her marriage secret, leading her to believe that she has married Martin. Her mother arrives from Europe for an unexpected visit, and Kathleen takes her to the race track. Medicine Man is winning when he suddenly stumbles and falls, throwing his Jockey, Rickey, who is killed. Johnny is forced to shoot his horse. rt r, n-Law desperately d are jangled and you cant see things clearly tonight. I mean it, all right Theres no spot for you where we go from here. No more big purses, no more sitting in the lap of luxury. From here out its playing strictly with white chips, and darned few of them. Mother cleared her throat and said, I know nothing about these things, but, purely from a business angle, isnt there insurance for race horses? Didnt you have insur ? Certainly, and with the money Ill just go out and buy another horse, exactly like Medicine Man. Do you know who has one for sale? Lets stop this talking, please, Kathleen begged. In the morningSure, lets go to sleep. Maybe He fell silent for a moyou can ment, and she knew that he was remembering Medicine Mans trusting eyes and the confident smile of Rickey McAvoy. She wanted to scream, I cant sleep any more than you can. I just want to be alone with you, to make you understand, to convince you that Ill run with you in the toughest going and never whimper. She turned to her mother. Mother, she said, would you mind leaving us for just a moment? There are so many things I want to say to Johnpy." But Johnny was on his feet before Mother could raise her plumpness from the deep, billowing chair. He walked to Kathleen, and suddenly he was the stranger on the train whom she could love but stake no claim upon. He kissed her briefly, waved a careless farewell to Mother, and walked toward the door. Kathleen was flying Johnny! irAo the hall, her negligee waving Its chiffon folds in the draft that rose through the stair well. Johnny! Come back! Johnny! Kathleen read the nice, sympathetic speeches of Johnnys enemies in the morning paper, and wondered if one among them would have had what it took to free the horse from his misery as Johnny had done. And presently she began to think about the dark stranger she had married, and she knew that all the men she would meet in all the years to come would be only shadowy figures, half alive, half formed. And she was still sitting, crushed and unable to rise above the blow that had been dealt her, when the papers were giving the last followup on the accident. The photograph of Johnny at the grave of Rickey Last bugle blows for McAvoy. plucky rider, she read. Johnny Virginia attends services for jockey who rode many winners. They had taken Rickey back to the Midwestern town where Johnny had found him, and Kathleen saw in the picture the friends who must have often bragged of knowing him; his mother, who had been proud of her runt, for somehow he had had the soul of a giant. And she wept at the sight of Johnny beside the grave, for she was remembering k the times he had stood in the giving a last word of encouragement to Rickey, a last pat on the shoulder for good luck.
