was connected with it, although
she would not think about
that, either. She would, ns . he also
hail told Paul in the quarrel they
had had over Marty, believe in her
friend until it no longer was possible
to do so.
She allowed Buffy to have the
long-promised fishing trip that had
caused so much trouble and anxiety
■v.hen the little boy hail run away.
She even allowed him to spend the
night with Marty in his trailer. f=!so
knew l'aul did not approve of this,
but Karen not only meant to live
up to her promise; she kept it in
order to show her faith in Martin
llaliday.
Huffy came home, after this big
adventure, so radiant and so full of

no one except Maity. He said he
wished he could go to live with
Marty in his little liouse-on-whei Is
"Anil leave :nc and your grandfather!"
Karen pi* t• tided to be
even more hurt than she was. It did
hurt a little, to thinl: that Marty
came before the boy's own relative!!.
"Oh. I should come to vi-it you."
Eulty explained, "unless you would
come and live in the trailer-house,
too, Karen. 1 told Mat'.y I wished
we could do that—you and I—and
he said he wished we could, too, so
you see it woul 1 he all right."
"I see." Karen felt herself blushing.
foolish as that was. She wondered
what else Buffy had said
about hor during that visit with
Marty. Maybe il was time to put
her small nephew straight in regard
to certain matters. I„ong ago
she had decided to tell Buffy that
she was going to many l'aul, but
she had put it off. Since her wedding
had been put iff, too. with
nothing settled even now that it
was spring, maybe site need not
tell him yet.
"Would you really do !t, Karen?"
Buffy's revealing face lighted lip
with that inner radiance, his big
eyes adding their appeal.
"Well, not right away . . . not
ever, I'm afiaid- at least, not for
peeps." Kan n had to hedge a bit,
not wanting to put out tliat light
too quickly. "Wc might visit Marty]

"I>i»l lie say lie was going
away?" Karon felt her heart give
a peculiar twist.
The little boy nodded; the light '
!iad gone out of his t'aee. "He said |
that he would have to go some lime t
.mil that it might he very soon now.
He said that this was because his
work. he hoped, would very soon be
finished."
Karen It new from the way Huffy
said it that the child was repeating
what Marty had said, as nearly as
he could remember, word for word. '
Work that soon would be finished, j
\Vh::t did that moan? It was a iiireet
contradiction to what Maity
had toll her; lie had said he did not j
have any work, that he was lu re
only to regain his health, liut shi'!
must not put loo much stress on 1
anything a child m!".ht repeat. It '
might very s< on. Huffy had re-1

There was no use. however, Karen

wondering such things, in wonder- I

men diblo yet tnu. which was what
.ill of it— overylhint—seenied to

it wais Kate thul lid her iiuvvii to
the beach one tvi-ning to seek the
sulitiule it offered und to li.stv« to
the roar <>f the ocean, hoping also
to untangle smiw of her thoughts.
If it hait not been Kate, she surely
would not have chosen this particular
evening, this particular
night, when those inillion.s of tiny
hrilhatit stars were hidcii and the
sou was high and the b'-acli dark
and deserted.
Karen had visited it so often, although
not during the pa.-t few
months, that she lttu .v h< r way
even on such a night as this. She
had lu.t c-v. 11 brought the tlu-hlight
that she often carri"d, as most
people did, now that the town was
blacked out after sundown. She
went past the beach house to tind
a log that was nearer the edge of
the wat»T. She would sit theie a
little while, alone with her
thoughts. It never «ccurr«i| to her
to be afraid or the 1« ast bit rvoiis.
