AJ. that next day and stayed home from the clinic. She felt she 8ad earned a day off. There were tany number of small matters, -long neglected, that she could ut tend to. Also she thought it would be a good time to attend to some ,, thing else that had beeh bothering , .her. She wanted to visit the Home Iwhere the little crippled boy, I Jimmy, had been placed, to make certain for herself that he was iwen ana nappy. B Hildred said, "I've been worried about Jimmy. I feel I am the one responsible for having him put in a boarding home and so I want to make certain he is all right. I want to pay an unexpected visit and see what I find." Hildred had said she was Eoine Ion this unscheduled visit in order to see what she could find. But nothing could have prepared her for the discovery she was to make. fEor there, parked in the crum TBling driveway was a familiar limousine. If it had not become so Vfamiliar of late she could not have credited her eyesight. "What on earth is Mr. Lurien doing here?" she asked Robin, who jumped down from behind the wheel to greet her with his friendly smile that made no secre any more of his adniirati"- and respect. "At least I suppose he is here," Hildred tacked on, nodding helplessly toward the Home. , '"That he sure is," Rotin re turned promptly. "As to what he I is up to, well, maybe you can find that out, Miss, rotter than me. I'd j say your guess is as good as mine." But even as he said that neither of them was left guessing. For out of the front door with its elabor ate, if somewhat dated, lace cur tains came Lucien leading a little ibpy. He was walking slowly, so ttyat his gait would match that of itlfce child's more halting one, due 19 a brace worn on one thin limb, ltis head was bent as if he were sicik'ne to the child in low, and CHAPTER 11 WANT you for tea Sunday afternoon," Lucien said, is- ig a statement of his wishes, in- d of asking an acceptance. "I int you and my mother to know h other, as 1 said before. Perhaps your mother will not as anxious to meet me, Hil d said quietly, employing her al honesty and directness. She a flash of dismay; she did not nt to know the Countess. She honed to continue Dostoone- nt of that day. You are mistaken." His tone s firm. "I have written Liz t is what all her most intimate nds call her as I do myself, in disrespect but in play all ut you and our friendship." ay be that was why sne was line sooner than planned! All thers, whether they were plain iz or or titled nobuity, were nfuch alike when it came to their talis. However, in spite of frank- rJs, ,Hildred did not quite feel! , m iajww .-. fShe will thing you.' a good in fluence, as I have told you you are." Lucien's tone was lighter now, his dark eyes almost teasing. "She may appear to be rather an imposing personage at first' But if you will just be yourself as you always are, my dear, I know that my mother will also like you very much." "Tllldred wished she could be as .certain" She wished she had some -lid excuse to get out of the Sun "hry tea, but since she had none, jKtife murmured again that she IXioped that would be the way it -"uld be. """Jimmy woke up just then and ,ftobin came over to say that he 9iad everything packed In the car jo that they could be getting back whenever Mr. Lucien wished. He added that the sky was darkening, not so much because it was near ing sundown but from clouds that might mean rain. Lucien agreed it would be wise for them to start So once more the three of them the little boy Sn the middle piled into the back of the big car, much like one happy little family, as Hildred found herself thinking, with some amusement at such a thought It CH DIANA! : VS C4UGMT SOME KXZtl J I'LL BE ANXIOUS Et& OWE OFF-SHORE AT COOT ISLAND "IO HEAR WITH THESE MET WHAT LUCK FLIES DEAN YOU'Re HAIMG I I r-i i XQJ GBAND!

' Hildred wanted to run to meet them but she stood at if planted to the spot. She could not ever) open the gate, a service Robin performed for her. Only then did Lucien look up to see her. He did not seem surprised, or nonplussed.TIe gave her his slight smile, with a nod of greeting. He said, in a pe-fectly ordinary, matter-of-fact voice, 'Well, here We are." Hildred said, "So 1 see." And did. in part. The things she had told Lucien last evening at dinner must indeed have found under standing. She had not dreamed, however, hp had been interested to this extent. "I borrowed Jimmy for the afternoon," Lucien said. His dark eyes smiled into hers now, deeply, as she had found they could when he was the Lucien she liked, the man who was her friend. "We're going for adrive, into the coun try. We've a hamper packed with lunch. And we'd be very pleased if you would join us, wouldn't we, Jimmy?" UNTIL now the little boy had not raised his heac, or his eyes. Hildred saw, with a stab of real pain, that he had grown thin ner and whiter during his brief stay. "I don'i like it here," Jimmy re turned, but in such a iow mumble that it was difficult to distinguish the words. "I don't like it at all. I don't want to stay." "We'll see about that," Hildred said quickly. She saw the child was ready to burst into tears. Long pent-up tears of horribly re pressed emotion. "You mean maybe I won't have to stay?" The little fellow looked up at her now, his underlip quivering painfully. He had enor mous dark eyes and a thick crop of dark hair. "Maybe not all the time. We'll see about that, too," Hildred prom ised readily. Her own eyes were misty with tears. "Right now," she continu?d. straightening to her feet again, "you're going for was a thought she was to remem ber and dwell upon later, many times. I Lucien promised Jimmy that they would repeat this happy day soon and Hildred told the little boy that she was going to take him to her house often to spend the weekend. "So you must prom ise to be a good boy in between," she finished. "You must not stay off by yourself, away from the other children. You must try to cat all your food, clean up your plate every time, and you must promise me, please, Jimmy, that you will not cry any more." Jimy promised manfully, though tears already seemed close as they drew up once more before the Home. He said he did try, in fact,, as hard as he could. "The food sticks in my throat," he explained, his big eyes solemn and large in his peaked little face. "It Just won't go. down. The other kids, they mean all right, but hey don't like me, I guess. I don't cry much, except tr hn- 4ct& lk4'aa in iicfll'SSSands'ucMa tinf fSWtaitt not being allowed to go out the gate." "I know," Hildred said, her own eyes misty. She gathered him close to her for a minute, feeling his thin little ribs, the fierce pounding of his heart "But you must try even harder, and keep on trying and after awhile it will be all right, honestly it will." But she was not sure. For some chil dren, yes, but maybe not for Jimmy, ever. SHE said as much to Lucien, be fore the big car stopped the second time, at the apartment where she lived. "What Jimmy needs is someone all the time, she told him. "The security of lasting love." "I agree with you," Lucien said, his voice unexpectedly gentle. "I give you my promise as Jimmy did to try to do my part" Hildred thanked him -though of course she had meant things that even Lucien's generosity, and money, could not give. "I'm beginning to ace what it means, this being a county nurse." Lucien's eyes really smiled into hers as he held her hand, a while longer than necessary, in parting. "Are all of them like you, wanting 1VE MeVEB Be em WELL IF DtSAPPOKDED wrm OU'LL RtltW THE RSHIUG AT OOCTT ISLAND.

She flashed Lucien smile to show him how much she appreciated what he was doing, how truly wonderful she thought it was oj him. v v 'Yoij must come with us," Lucien said once more. "We shall be greatly disappointed ii you don't" So Hildred found herself belr.g assisted into the back seat by Rabin, with Jimmy tucked be tween her and Lucien. It was a wonderful picnic, not just because the big wicker ham per was packed so full of appetiz ing delicacies, but because tht company proved so congenial. Once out in the hills with the canopy of blue sky overhead Jimmy turned into a normal little boy. A rowdy little boy, full o! fun and pranks and laughter. Sc that soon Lucien and Hildred and even Robin who was included in all the merrymaking, were be having as if they had all been set suddenly free. Then, finally ex hausted, they stretched out to rest on a grassy knoll beneath a bip spreading oak hung with lacy Spanish moss.'' HUdred was too content to seek slumber; she rested her back against the trunk while Lucier. stretched put at her feet. A little apart. Jimmy slept soundly, his tumbled head pillowed on Robin's wide chest The end of a perfect day," Hil dred said, tand meant it 'The wonderful part though, Lucien, it that you would plan it, make it possible." She still could not eet over that; it was another side of this strange man of many moods. "Why hot J am human, if I am a Lanier, Lucien replied. "After you told me about Jimmy last night I suddenly got this in spiration though I confess I was not confident it would work out as well as it has. At least not until you popped up and joined us which is what actually has made it the perfect day it has turned out" to give so much love as well as service?" Hildred shook her head. "A good nurse" she was quoting Randy now "does rot let per sonalities, and sentiment, affect her. I don't mean she is not kind and humanitarian. But of course it is only sensible to realize you one person alone cannot do all you would like to do. I wish I could take all the Jimmies and other children I know to my heart and give them all my love. But I have to try not to; I have to fight against it But I believe, once more, in that middle road I think occasionally as with Jimmy I can make an exception and still be a good nurse, I hope!" "I think you can." His hand clasp tightened. "I think you are a very good nurse. I think you are a fine woman. I say that as the highest tribute a man can pay a woman and I mean it, Hildred." She saw that he did so that, Jmpulsivelyjhe .returned,, his ':Tr"&Zi: r oTLtme reached a full understanding of each other. Now we are indeed the friends we pledged ourselves to be." "I wish ..." Lucien began, then stopped as abruptly. "Never mind that now. Maybe someday I will tell you what I started to wish, if the time ever comes when such a wish could I- made possible." She could not imagine what he meant, but she felt the hot color spreading up into her face; she felt again an odd presentiment The time would come when she would kiow what Lucien had al most wished for. But now he raised her hand, as was his custom, to his lips in fare well. "Until Sunday, then," he said, his dark eyes smiling into hers, as if the bond betweeto them was in fact cemented. Well, maybe she could not have Randy, the man she loved, but it was a comfort a warm, sweet feeling inside her to know that she had the true friendship and liking of Lucien Lanier. It healed that other hurt a little. It would be something to cherish, if thai other love never came true. (To lie continued) l';KA,V.VCM' WAMl IT TH ' MJVSK OV "I IS TMKNtY-::tll.L:AvE It TV1E .
