FINAL CHAPTER
"What do you mean—commit
ted a crime?” There was a terrified
look in her dark eyes.
"Well, they’ve just discovered
he’s been at the head of a bunch of
racketeers who were systematically
robbing his father.”
"How could he do that?” asked
Maris, suddenly remembering some
thing Jimmy had once hinted at.
"Well, he tipped them off when
truck loads would be leaving the
mills. Then the bandits would hold
them up, knock out the drivers and
turn the stuff over to another
bunch of men who would dispose
of it and hand Stanley his share.”
"But surely they won’t do any
thing to him?” asked Maris, remem
bering Stan’s haughty mother.
"I don’t know. Those thugs who
made you ride with them were some
of the ringleaders and because Stan
tried to cheat them out of more
than his share they’ve told on him
and now there’s a nasty front page
scandal about it all.”
"Oh, Patsy; surely they can’t say
anything about me?”
"What could they say, Maris
dear? Not a thing. Of course I
wouldn’t wonder if Stan’s scared
stiff if he ever gives a thought to
what may have happened to you.
But there—that’s all past. Of
course, though, you will have to
resign from Fayson’s.”
"But, Milly—Oh Pats, you
know I got kind of sore at you
not having sympathy with my at
temps to step up on the social lad
der, and sometimes t used to talk
things over with Mifly. I wonder
what she’ll say now?”
"Don’t bother about her or any
one else; they’ll all be so busy
talking about Stan’s crookedness
that you’ll be forgotten. There, I
I don’t mean that exactly, but after
j all they’ll realize .you were just one
! of them and when a sTiow-down
| came you knew which side of the
! line you were on.”
i "You’re a dear, Pat. I’ll never
j forget this.”
| There was a knock at the bed
j room door. "Come in,” called Pat.
! "I was wondering if Miss Maris
would be ready for a bite of sup
per. I thought I’d bring it up be
I fore we sat down.” It was the
I farmer’s wife.
"I’m afraid I’m making an aw
ful lot of trouble for you, Mrs.
Dawson,” said Maris. "I’m sure I
can get up now.”
"You’d better not. A bite of
supper and then a good night’s rest
and you’ll be ready to start off in
the morning. Not that I want
you to leave in such a rush, but
the gentleman insists he’s got to
get to the city.”
"Yes, that’s so,” said Pat. "Well,
I’ll come down with you and then
I can bring Maris’ supper up to
her.”
By seven o’clock next morning
Maris was headed for the city, but
this time she had no fear that any
moment might be her last. Jimmy
Doyle, while a good driver, never
took chances, especially when Patsy
was riding with him.
Already Maris had shaken off
the terror that seemed to possess
her, and as she told Patsy little in
cidents of her hectic love affair,
she was almost able to jest about
tnem. me uawsons nau treated
her as a sort of heroine because of
her part in trapping the criminals.
Taking it altogether, in spite of all
the discouraging things that she
had gone through, Maris knew that
life still lay before her, and that
there would be other opportunities
for her to show Patsy that she
wasn’t altogether the fool she in
sisted on calling herself.
But when they reached home
and entered the little flat once
more, Maris began to realize what
her escapade had cost her. She’d
lost her good position and the
chance to get a better one, and
now with conditions still none too
rosy she realized that it wouldn’t
be such an easy thing to pick up a
job.
"But you don’t need to worry
about that. You need a holiday
anyway, so why don’t you make up
your mind to stay home ?.nd keep
house?”
"Keep house?” asked Maris.
"Since when could we afford to
have one of us do that?”
"Well, honey, it’s'like this. Jim

Maris knew that Rod was the man for her.

| ed we may as well get married.
I Then, as there’s a chance he may!
[ be transferred to some other city in
a few months, we were thinking
we might stay here till we see wTiat
happens.”
"Oh, hut this will be no place
for me!” cried Maris.
Of course it will. If we get mar
ried next Saturday, then we’re go
ing away for a two weeks’ trip,
and could stay here and look after
things.” i
"That would be lovely, but it
doesn’t seem fair that I should be
living off you.”
"Living off me! Nonsense.
There are a lot of things I want
done and if you’ll do them for me,
that will more than pay back any
thing it will cost for your keep.
And then, who knows, something
may turn up for you by that time.
Anyway, you don’t need to worry,
for Jimmy will be perfectly happy
to have you here.”
And so, on Saturday evening
Patsy and Jimmy were quietly
j married, and started for their wed
. ding trip in Jimmy’s car. The
I house seemed strangely desolate to
Maris, as she fixed up the things
; Patsy had asked her to—making
; curtains and things for Patsy’s
; home.
She hadn’t tried to get a job.
The least she could do was help
| Patsy out after all she had done
i for her. Once she’d thought of
i calling up Milly, but then, Milly
was not a girl she really cared to
have for an intimate friend, andj(
now that she had cut herself off ■
from Fayson’s she decided it would
be better to let things stay as they
were.
As she sat alone in the evenings
her thought turned often to Rod.
Had he a steady nowadays, shej
wondered. Was she that stunning!
looking girl she had seen him meet?
Her eyes filled with tears. She real
ized that she had deliberately cut
herself off from happiness.
Patsy had never mentioned Rod
since Maris had come back. Some
how she’d been expecting her toj
say something about him, maybe!
to suggest that she should call him;
up or ask him to come to see her.
Her tears fell fast. Maybe Patsy
realized she had had about enough
to stand; that the knowledge—if it
really were so—that he had trans
ferred his affections elsewhere
111 i .1. n. . _
WUUIU 11U1L nci Uiucu. t- ai,
ably thought that it Would be
kinder never to mention his name.
And yet as she laid her sewing
down and wiped her tear-filed eyes,
stie felt a desperate longing to
know about Rod, even if he were
going to marry some other girl. At
least her heart would be at rest,
and she would try to build up her
broken life, to fill it with other in
terests. She knew now that she!
would never really love anyone as
she had loved Rod, and felt there
could be no one else.
The bell rang. It was only the
mailman with a card from Jimmyi
and Patsy. "We are having a lovely
time,” they wrote. “Wish you were
with us.” She laughed as she read
the message written in Jimmy’s
careless handwriting. That would
be a nice idea—to be their chap
erone on their honeymoon. |
But somehow when she found
she could laugh, her fit of the blues
seemed suddenly to dissolve. Even
if she might never again know the
sweetness of Rod’s love, she must
| try to keep from getting soured, i
Then she thought of the Daw-|

candy.
So, slipping on an apron, she
went into the kitchen and started
to make her preparations.
Setting her scales on the table,
measuring out the sugar, and tak
ing down her box of flavoring,
Maris started her candy-making. It
was a nice cool afternoon and her
caramels turned out beautifully.
She was just debating whether to
make another batch when suddenly
the door bell rang.
Pulling off her apron, and
smoothing her hafr, she hurried to
the door. But when she opened it,
her heart almost turned over. Rod
O’Rorke was standing on the
threshold!
"Well, Maris, aren’t you going
to ask me in?” he questioned as he
held out his hand.
"Of course,” she whispered,
while her cheeks grew rosy, and a
sudden sparkle leaped into her eyes.
"But Jimmy and Patsy arc still
away.”
"That’s fine. I guess they’re hav
ing a good time. It’s wonderful
weather for an auto trip,” he said.
He stepped inside and hung his hat
on the hall rack just as he used to
do.
"Yes, I had a post card from
them today. They’re somewhere in
the Berkshires,” said Maris.
"And you’re running the show
alone?” he asked. •
"Yes,” she nodded, wondering
what had brought him around tc
the apartment. "I’ve been making
ome caramels. Like some?” she
sked. a
"You know I would. I haven’t St
asted a decent bit of candy since c<
—”He hesitated abruptly, and St
daris wondered what he had in-,
ended to say. |
But, leading the way into the
utchen, she said, "Help yourself,
vhile I put all this trash away,” and
juickly she gathered up her mate
dais.
"They’re great, Maris, the finest
:ver. What are you going to do
iow?” I
"Oh, finish sewing Patsy’s cur
rains, I suppose.”
"Wouldn’t you like to go to a
ihow?”
"Maybe,” said Maris, as she bent
aver her sewing. Did Rod still love
her, she wondered. Surely if he was
?oing with that other girl he would,
not invite her to go out with him.
Still, maybe he’d expected to see'
Jimmy and Patsy; maybe he wasj
just being polite. If only she knew
where she stood with him!
Then she remembered, she had
suggested they should just be
friends. (Had he taken her at her
word? The color dyed her cheeks as
she wondered if he knew anything
about her adventure. Of course
she’d never said anything to Patsy
about keeping quiet about it. But
Patsy was so loyal, she didn’t need
to do that.
There was silence in the little
room for a long minute. Then Rod
put his hand on her slender arm.
"Don’t you want to put that stuff
away, Maris? It’s a long, long time
since I’ve had a talk with you.”
"Yes,” murmured Maris, but she
did not raise her eyes. Would she
ever feel gay and light-hearted '
again as she used to when Rod and
she were friends? Carefully, she
folded up her sewing and laid it on
the table. Then as she turned and
faced him again, he caught her in
his arms and drew her to him.
Raising her face to his, he looked
long into her dark eyes, "Maris, my
sweet. I’ve been trying to forget
you, but it’s no good. I can’t, dear
heart. Don’t you think you could
love me just a little? I’ve missed
you so, my dear.”
Her arms tightened about his
neck and as she nestled against his
heart, she murmured, "No, Rod, I
can’t love you just a little, for all
this time I’ve been loving you with
my whole heart—just you.”
"Darling,’ he whispered, "you
really mean that?” and again she
raised her face to his. But when he
saw her glowing eyes he knew she
spoke the truth and as their lips
met, Maris knew that this was in
deed the man for her.
And she knew that her most
thrilling day was still to come,
when she went to the altar as Rod’s
bride—a real bride this time, w'th
a real man, who would love and
cherish her, for her bridegroom.
