Facing Dark Future
But when he was gone she burst
into unexplainable tears. Her mind,
harassed and torn by the unpleasant
scene, looked back at her empty life.
What had happened to David, she
wondered, impersonally.
Now that she had sent David
away forever, she didn’t have the
appalling sense of emptiness she ex
pected.
And theji she thought of Gilthorp.
He, too, had withdrawn from her
life. She would not admit it her
self how much she had missed his
friendly visits, his once warm inter
est in her affairs. But now Gilthorp
was going to marry Libby Vander-
sill. After their marriage she would
probably never see him again. She
would be utterly alone. She roused
from her brooding thoughts and fin
ished her work for the day.

Bewildered, Gilthorp asked, ‘Why’

treachery? It was something they
never could discuss.
“Aren’t you just a little proud
of me that I’ve made good?” she
asked plaintively. “I don’t think you
appreciate what it means at all.”
“I do.” he responded. “I know
what it means to you. And I know
it hasn't been easy.”
“Well, then, why didn’t you
so?” she demanded.
He grinned impishly at her.
Sending- Him Away
“Don’t laugh, Dean Gilthorp. You-
have always had money. I wish you
had to earn a dollar, then you might
learn what it’s like.”
“Listen, Andrea,” he said, sud
denly serious. “I inherited money,
but even you will admit that I have
tried to be a useful citizen in this
world, haven’t I?”
She felt swiftly ashamed. She, of
all people, was indebted to him. If
it hadn’t been for him she never
would have this shop.
“You're right, Dean. I take it all
back,” she said with childlike can
dor. “And now tell me something,
Did you pay to have David in that

“Why do you ask?” he question
ed, surprised that she had found
out. *
“Did you?” she insisted.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because I wanted to see how he
would react to having money of his
own.”
Andrea stared at him, her eyes
again coluded with unhappiness, her
mouth rebellious. Then it was Dean’s
fault that David had changed. If it
hadn’t been for this Dave would have
remained the same. Gilthorp had de
liberately ruined David.
“That’s all I wanted to know,”
she said. “If you don’t mind, Dean,
I have a great deal of work to finish
yet.” She had turned her back to
her desk with a gesture of dismissal.
Bewildered, Gilthorp rose to go
“What’s the matter, Andrea?” he
asked with evident concern.
“Nothing,” she replied primly,
“nothing at all.”

Sandy and Mary were occupied
with the new home they were going
to build as soon as the weather broke
in the spring. Andrea was to have
a special wing all her own.
“They’ve been wonderful to me,”
Andrea thought, “but I wonder if

This statement shocked Andrea.
She became silent for a moment as
she thought of some of the things
Eloise had told her.
“I know you wouldn’t lie, Sandy,”
she said, her voice tense.

between University scientists and an

part of the research specialists was
not any too pleasant. They spent
many hours in niosquito-infested
swamps, trying many varieties of
existing insect repellents and many
new formulae. They finally discover
ed that, in every case, it-wasn’t the
smell which kept mosquitoes
black flies fi;om biting. They
length created a new formula and
when they used it on their arms and

ou every occasion.
To this formula, a pleasant per

proved the new lotion to be abspl-
uately harmless for even the tender
