“AFRAID OF LOVE
FREE From SCIATICA
FOR 35 YEARS
by Phyllis Moore Gallagher
Tony slit that picture out, too, and
grabbed a paste-pot and a fountain
pen. With the others watching,
fascinated, Tony went to work with
the pen and the paste. Little bal
loons went up from ‘the mouths -of
the three .people in the illustration.
They were named Lee Cavendish,
patsy Warfield and Kitty Cavendish
—-Patsy being like scantily clad girl
in Lee’s arms, and Kitty the -woman

illustration. Then laughing raucous

His eyes showed murder, his mouth
was drawn until the gums of his
yellow teeth showed red and fiery,
his one free hand sliding along his
side. Ted cried: “Look out, Lee!
He’s got a -knife!
Suddenly, with the spring of a
panther, Tony was on his feet, blood
running slow and slimy over his
dark face, mingling with the sweat.
In a flash his stiletto was in his
hand, glistening in the dim room.
Ted made a lun.e, but not quickly
enough, and Lee slumped to the floor
with only the pearl hnadle of the
stiletto showing in his shoulder,
iTony, who was more powerfu than
Ted, knocked the young lieutenant

window. The g!a s gave way and
Ted crashed throurh to the street,
where he lay unconscious.
A Hurry Chll
After Ted went out of Patsy’s
room, with little Oscar wagging his
tail merrily and trailing behind him
she lay there rigid for a moment,
her eyes wide, refusing to shed the
tears that lay back of them. She
thought: “I won’t think about what

night and all the unhappiness of to
day had never been.
She gave him her hand and said,
lightly: “Aren't you ashamed!
Fighting! Ted looks like an Egypt
ian mummy all tied up! When are
you two going to grow up?” But he
felt her fingers, tense and cold, and
knew that she was putting on a

He said: “Patsy—” and his voice
trembled.

down the corridor, learning that
Lee wasn’t badly hurt, that he would
be dismissed from the hospital in an
hour, she had promised herself that
she would be gay and casual and re
mote, That she’d let him know
now that everything between them
was all over. That the insuperable
barriers between them were too
great to bridge.
But now she felt herself sliding
to the floor, burying her face against
his breast. She heard a soft, sob
bing little voice which must be her
own—“Oh, ILee—Lee!—If anything
had happened to you! I love you so
—oh, my darling!”
Presently she was partly in con-
roi of herself, sitting pale and a
little shaken on the chair at the side
of the bed. He took her hand in his

His face was gray and his black eyes
and hair seemed like splashes of In

snarled: “I done it—so what?”

housework, and the constant bending
over, lifting, making beds, sweeping,
ironing, sewing so necessary to per
form their household duties puts a

some derangement of the kidneys, for
if there were no kidney weakness
the back would be strong and well.
