CHAPTER VI-ontinned -9 Yes TOuu was wore bis well-cut clothes with a nonchalant non-chalant air and his manner, even h this difficult situation, wfis poised, considerate, assured. In compari-mn compari-mn John seemed a little clumsy, diffident, unsure. What was It in him that aroused a more devastating devastat-ing emotion than, in all the years of knowing him, she had ever felt for Todd? Her eyes moved along the back of his leather jacket to his crisp dark hair. One lock, blatantly blatant-ly waving, stood erect at the crown of his bead. Looking at it her brief resentment melted and in the emotion emo-tion which swept through her further fur-ther comparison was impossible. John! she called silently, John! He turned as though she had spoken spo-ken his name aloud. His expression loftened. His mouth quivered. His thin dark face brightened at whatever what-ever it was he read in her eyes. Their long glance asked and answered an-swered before he turned again to Todd. "If you'll excuse me," he said very courteously, "I'll go out and get in some wood." "Can I help you?" Todd asked. "No, thank you." John picked up the wood-basket and went out of the room. Silence followed. Gay tossed her cigarette into the fire. Todd walked to the hearth, stood looking at Gay through the lamplight. Her eyes rested on her hands, clasped tightly in her lap. "It's pleasant here," he said, presently. pres-ently. "Yes, isn't it?" "Have you rested?" "Oh, yes-" "You look very well." "I'm feeling" She glanced up at him. "Todd" she said and was silent "I know all about it, Gay," he said steadily. "You love him. You want to be free." She nodded, then cried softly, "Todd dear, I'm so sorry." His composure was shaken. An expression of pain darkened his bright hazel eyes. "What is it?" he isked in a low strained voice. "What have I done or not done?" "Nothing. Come, sit here," she aid gently. "Y0u look so tired." He sat beside her on the couch. His head dropped back against the cushions. His eyes closed. She took nand. ran her fingers across the smooth tanned skin, the slender gers. Presently he opened his eyes.

I had no idea that when he came to your debutante party, you, he Kate told me you didn't expect him to be here when you came How long have you known him, Gay?" "Since I was fifteen. Since the summer I spent here with Uncle John." "Then that's the answer. I've known all along that you weren't as certain as I was." "I tried. Forgive me Oh, what must you think of me?" He took her hands in his, looked at her steadily, very seriously. "I've always thought you were the loveliest loveli-est person I've ever known. It's the habit of a lifetime. I can't break it now." Tears streamed down over her cheeks. She made no attempt to check them. "I want you to know," she said, "that I feel toward you now, at this moment, Just as I've always felt. This this thing that has happened hap-pened hasn't changed it I love you as my best and my dearest-friend." dearest-friend." "But you love John more?" She nodded. "I'm so sorry," she cried pityingly. "I'm too fond of you to tell you less than the truth." He laid her hands gently In her lap, rose, walked to the fire-place, stood with his back to her, lighting a cigarette. When he turned, his face was peaceful. "I like him, you know." He smiled wearily through the smoke from the cigarette. "That put me at a disadvantage. dis-advantage. I can't offer to knock his head off. I couldn't anyway. He's bigger than I am. It's all right, Gay." "Is it?" Her voice was wistful. "I'm so fond of you. I think of riding rid-ing our ponies together and Miss Kitty's dancing class and your first sail-boat and tea-dances and football foot-ball games and skiing and house parties at Princeton." His smile wavered. "And it doesn't do any good?" Her eyes fell away from his face, less peaceful now, drawn with fatigue fa-tigue and pain. "It only makes me more certain," she said scarcely audibly. He drew a long shaken breath. "Well, that's that" Glancing up she saw the corners of his lips lift in a difficult smile. "I should say, now, in a husky voice but with a smile, that I'll always love you, little girl, and if you ever need me or want me" His voice altered. "I do say it, Gay. I've had considerable experience ex-perience getting you out of scrapes. If you ever need me" "You're a dear, Todd. I wish" He flung the cigarette into the fire, went to the couch, dropped down beside her, drew her close in a strong embrace. "Gay, darling, can't you?" his lips whispered against her cheek. She put aside his eager arms. Her hands lifted to his face. Her eyes met his, bright, now, with a sort of despairing hope that moved her to pity, gentleness, poignant regret. re-gret. "Todd. Todd, darling," she said. "I wish I could." Gay opened the kitchen door, stepped outside, closed the door cautiously. cau-tiously. John's figure detached itself it-self from shadows at the edge of the clearing. She ran to meet him coming to meet her. His arms caught her, lifted her. set her feet on the ground. "I hoped you would come," be said, his hps against her cheek. "I shouldn't have. Kate heard me, I know, though she pretended to be asleep. And Todd feels so badly. I can't think of them. I can't think of anything except being with you." Her eyes lifted above his shoulder. "The moon," she cried softly, breathlessly. "It's so peaceful" She sighed. "I can't Imagine being in the city." "Will you be?" "I don't know. Mother and Robert, Rob-ert, my step-father, are still in Southampton, I suppose. They'll be moving into the city, though, now that there isn't to be a wedding. Dad and Aunt Flora may not open the town house this winter. They're thinking of staying on at 'Dunedin.' I want to be where time will pass quickly. I don't know" "When you talk of your family" John paused. "What?" she asked Quickly. "You sound" "I lose you," he said diffidently. "Here we are so close. When you go away I can't even imagine what your life is there. If I could say every hour during the day, now Gay is waiting for the post-man, now she's playing tennis, now she's having hav-ing lunch, now she's walking down town to get a soda at the drugstore, drug-store, I would feel closer to you. But I can't imagine your life. . It "How little I've known yon,' marveled. she wouldn't be more difficult if you were a Chinese princess. It's just I've nothing to go by," he finished lamely. "You still resent me, don't you?" she asked. "Not you as you are here with me." "My life, then. I saw it tonight, when Todd and I talked of mutual acquaintances, of things that were happening in New York." "But I was afraid Seeing him here with you He's known you always. al-ways. You have things in common. And he is attractive. I was Jealous and I despised myself for being Jealous." Jeal-ous." He gave a short mirthless laugh. "I was stuffy, wasn't I?" "You were and it was silly of you." "I know. Tm sorry and ashamed." "I can't discard the years before be-fore now all at once as a snake sheds its skin." "Of course you can't I'm unreasonable. un-reasonable. But when I've nothing to go by" Til eive you something. Every hour of every day we're apart you can say, Wherever Gay is she's loving lov-ing me and thinking of me and wanting time to pass quickly." "Sweet!" His voice trembled. "I love you so." "And I love you. Remember that and nothing can spoil it Nothing!" CHAPTER Vn Gay roused at a touch on her shoulder. She opened her eyes and blinked up into the pleasant placid face of Mathilde, her mother's middle-aged maid. For an instant she lay drowsily smiling, not fully awake, then her eyes widened, she sat erect "What time is it?" she asked. "Half past seven, Miss Gay," the woman said, smiling. "You asked to be wakened." "There'd have been murder done if I hadn't been." Gay tossed back the covers and swung herself into a sitting position on the side of the bed. "It's snowing." Mathilde held a blue silk negligee embroidered with daisies, knelt with blue satin mules for Gay's feet. "Grand! A white Christmas." Gay $ H -iff drew the negligee around her, wriggled wrig-gled her feet into the mules. "That makes everything practically perfect" per-fect" "Your bath is ready." Mathilde smiled at Gay's excitement. "Will you have a breakfast tray?" "Orange Juice and coffee." Gay disappeared into the bathroom. "I won't have time for anything else." On the walls of the bathroom wild orchids grew lush among tropical trees. The alcove In which the tub was set was paneled with mirrors. Gay, splashing vigorously, made none of her customary mental observations ob-servations upon the results achieved by the young interior decorator who was her mother's latest protegee. All of her attention was centered upon the fact, incredible but excitingly excit-ingly true, that John was arriving in New York on this the morning of Christmas Eve, for a holiday visit "Noel Noel" she sang, rubbing herself with a soft warmed toweL For an instant the song recalled the Christmas Eve she'd spent at school in Switzerland. She'd like to go into a Catholic church this evening, at twilight a French Catholic church, where candle-light would shine on brightly painted figures in the manger scene and a choir-boy with the voice of an angel would sing the carol running now, through her mind. That symbolized Christmas Christ-mas for her, had as far back as she could remember, before the school in Switzerland, since Made moiselle Dupin, the governess of whom she'd been fondest, had taken her, as a child, to her church on succeeding Christmas Eves. Back into the bedroom again. Mathilde Ma-thilde bad laid out her underthings. "Noel Noel Noel Noel" she sang dealing hurriedly with chif fon and silk. She stood before the row of hangers in the wardrobe. "So the keynote is simplicity." How long ago that seemed! She selected a wool dress the silver gray of a kitten's kit-ten's fur, the darker gray fur coat the fur cap to match it which made her look like a Russian princess. As she sat at the dressing-table pinning pin-ning red-brown curls in at the nape of her neck Mathilde came in with the tray. "Would you like me to ring for Carl?" she asked, placing the tray on a low table beside the windows looking out over the river. "No, I'll use a taxi." She didn't want her first moments with John to be spent under the discreet but interested scrutiny of Carl's lively blue eyes, behind Carl's attentive whip-cord back. The servants both here and at "Dunedin" were curious curi-ous about John. No wonder, after what they'd heard and seen when she and Kate returned from Maine. Not that she cared, especially, but if it could be avoided "It's eight o'clock, Miss Gay," Mathilde, hovering, said. "It is? Good Heavens! I must fly." She slipped into the coat Mathilde Ma-thilde held, tilted the fur cap over one eye, caught up purse and gloves, paused for an instant to admire her reflection in the mirror and went hurrying out of the room. Lights glowed in the hall of the apartment Her step-father called to her through the open door of the dining-room. "Good-morning," she said, stand ing poised for flight in the doorway. door-way. "It's the early bird that catches the worm." Robert Cameron, in a silk dressing gown with a scarf knotted knot-ted under his chin twinkled at her somewhat sleepily over a section of melon. (TO BE CONTINUED) Pollen Carried Seaward By Strong Air Currents PoHen knows no 12-mile limit according ac-cording to a survey recently com-, pleted in the air above the Atlantic ocean. Traces of pollen were found 275 miles at sea. The tests showed no poUen above 8,000 feet over land or water. The survey was made by 0. C Durham, chief botanist of the Abbott laboratories labora-tories in North Chicago, in co-operation with the Pan-American airways. Forty-seven slides were exposed on a specially designed "skyhook" on a 7,000-mile round trip made by the Yankee Clipper. The slides were exposed every 30 to 60 minutes by J. W. Etchison, engineer of the Clipper, and then carefully packed in containers and returned to Durham. Durham said certain wind conditions might carry ragweed and smut spores as far as 1,000 miles from shore, although none was found at that distance in the survey. Treatment for Buzzing Ears And Dizziness By DR. JAMES W. BARTON CReleased by Western Newspaper Union.) MOST cases of dizziness are due to some disturb ance of the ear or the liver. What is known as Meniere's disease of syndrome syn-drome has sud den attacks of dizziness as its outstanding symptoms, to gether with nausea and vom iting. "Deafness and tinnitus (singing in the ear) may oc cur just before or just after the attack of dizziness, nausea nau-sea and vomiting. "The attacks are so suddenly se vere that patients are 'struck down' and walking without aid is usually Impossible." It is this "suddenness" and being struck down and unable to walk without help that is the real difference between Meniere's disease dis-ease and the ordinary feeling of lightheadedness and dizziness. The treatment of Meniere's dis ease 'in the department of inter nal medicine, Lahey clinic, Boston, reported re-ported in Medical Clinics of North America, may be either ei-ther medical or surgical sur-gical "The medical management man-agement giving most promise consists of use of a diet low in sodium apples, asparagus, as-paragus, cabbage, brussels sprouts, lettuce, let-tuce, grapes, lem-sugar, lem-sugar, jelly, honey; Dr. Barton ons, oranges, unsalted butter and bread, the avoidance of table salt and the administration ad-ministration of ammonium chlor ide." The Foods to Avoid. The foods that contain a large amount of sodium and therefore should be avoided are: ordinary bread, salted butter, crackers, eggs, meat, milk, spinach, carrots, beets, oatmeal and all corned, pickled, smoked or salted foods. If the above treatment does not give relief, the patient is referred to the surgeon who cuts nerve fibers supplying certain parts of the ear. Eighteen patients were placed on the medical treatment above outlined out-lined (eight men and ten women). Thirteen of the patients had symptoms symp-toms in both ears buzzing, roaring and deafness. Despite the fact that these were outpatients and could not be under complete control, 12 of the 18 patients pa-tients obtained complete relief from the acute attacks, although two still had annoying ear noises. Worry Can Cause Organic Disease THERE Is no question but that physicians have been slow in recognizing the effect of the mind upon the working of the organs of the body heart, stomach and diges tion, blood vessels and blood pressure, pres-sure, and other organs and processes. proc-esses. Today, however, the physi cian knows, as the old family doc tor learned years ago, that an un settled, anxious mind can cause actual organic disease. When a patient comes In for consultation today, most physicians listen patiently to his whole story and, because parts of the story do not fit into a regular pattern of some disease, do not tell him there is nothing wrong with him. They realize that the patient must be convinced about his ailment and so a complete examination is made. This may include the X-rays, a visit to the dentist or other specialist. and complete consideration of all the findings given. If no organic condition is found, the physician states this fact to the patient and in most cases, with the mind re lieved of anxiety the symptoms dis appear. Bow Difficult Cases Were Handled, A number of years ago a Prot estant clergyman and a Catholic priest were attached to one of the hospital clinics In London. A patient, after being thoroughly examined and no organic disease found which could account for his symptoms, was handed over to the clergyman or priest In most cases by careful care-ful and sympathetic questioning, the worry, fear, anxiety, obsession or other emotional disturbance was brought to light and suggestions giv en as to the best manner of han dling each difficult condition.
