Latent Limousine funeral Coach "I see," She sat staring before her with blind eyes, her hands clasp- ed in her lap. Suppose he were dead and they were afraid to tell her? To be a widow when she was only so re- cently a wife, All her pretty frocks would be quite useless - she." would have to wear black. All sorts of in- congruous thoughts kept tumbling over and over in her dazed mind. She turned sharply to the man be- side her. "There was a lady with him—Mrs. Stark -was she hurt, too?" "Just a shaking, miss—I saw the laity myself—she was very distress- ed, naturally, but not hurt, I should say." She moistened her dry lips. "How much farther is it?" "Just round the corner by that red building—the one with the weather- cock on it." When the car stopped she, stum- bled out blindly, evading the officer's proffered hand. Up the steps to the big open door. 'Where is he? I am Mrs. O'Hara. My husband bas been hurt. Where is he?" The maddening waiting, the form- alities! Pauline had worked herself into a frenzy by the tirn•e (someone said, "Please come this way"; and at last -she was in a small room with a single bed. There was a smell of drugs in the air, and the polished floor felt hard to her feet. Silly to think of small things like that at a moment when her whole being should have :been concentrated on the man lying there -his head ban- daged, his eyes closed. "Dennis!" "Dennis!" Pauline was down on her knees beside him, sobbing broken.. !heartedly. coat—a word to the maid—"It's the master—" how she loved. calling him the master—"he's been hurt—the car, somehow." And she was downstairs again. "Oh, hurry, hurry!" she implored the officer. The car moved off down the road, and Pauline began slowly to regain her self-control. "How did it hap- pen? My husband is such a "won-, derful driver?" • "Collision at the crossroads. No- body seems to know whose fault it was." Pauline hardly heard, "How is he hurt? His arm—leg? Where is he hurt?" "1 couldn't say, Miss." Why did he insist on calling her miss when she was a married woman -- when she was Dennis' wife? It was not dignified. "My orders was only to fetch you and to say it was not se- rious." was driving too fast, he had delib- erately accelerated instead of slow- ing down. She helped Pauline tb a chair, not a very comfortable one, and stood beside her waiting for her sobs to cease. Pauline took her hand and pressed it. "I'm so glad you were with him, Barbie," she sobbed. "I'm sure things would have been much worse if you hadn't been there." Barbara drew her hand gently away. "I think they are bad enough as it is," she said. She looked : across the room, at Dennis. He was so white, he hard- ly seemed to breathe. Supposing he. had' been. killed? Pauline had ceased sobbing, but her breath kept corning in little gasps. She got up and crept close to the bed. "Dennis." she whispered again, but he did not hear her. She bent and softly kissed his. cheek. She turn- ed urned again to Barbara, tear raining down her cheeks. "Will they let me. take him home?" "I think it would: be very unwise, my dear." At .that moment Dennis stirred a little and flung out a hand. Pauline. seizedit andcovered it with kisses. "Darling—darling!" Heopened his eyes. ` They were clouded still and far away. They searched her face without . recognit- ion; then his lips moved slowly.. Pauline . bent to catch what he said. "Barbara?" . The name was unmis- takable. Pauline answered at once: "Not hurt. She's all right, quite all right." "Yes.," The faintest word of satis- fied assent; then his eyes closed again.. Pauline turned to Barbara. • "He wanted .to know how you were: Isn't that like him? So unselfish. Oh, are you suree he, will be all right?" "Quite all right, dear. Look, I think he's ` asleep now." Suddenly Pauline spoke slowly. "I don't believe he recognized me just now. I don't believe he even knew who I was." "I don't suppose he .did," she said evenly. "He was only half conscious, you know." Barbara laughed. "You flatter nie," she said mocicingly. "Besides, I hate illness and hospital wards— the smell of drugs always makes nee feel sick," Pauline's eyes grew wistful, "'Wouldn't you come and see me, then, if I were ill?" she asked, "You're different, 'way ?" Barbara frowned: "Well for one thing, you rather like me, don't you? Whereas Dennis—" ' Pauline broke _in eagerly. "But he doesn't, he doesn't! He's asked after you ever so many times since the accident," "That's very kind of "him,, "If you two could only be friends!" Pauline said for the millionth time. Barbara threw a • cigarette end' fire- ward; "Dennis and I can never be friends," she said positively. "And what does it matter? No doubt it's all my fault," Pauline shook her head. "No, I. think Dennis is as much to blame as you are," she adimtted: "It's such a pity, because, , you're a darling, and he's really rather a nice man, you know, Barbie!" Barbara laughed, It was in the middle of 'the week that Pauline announced that Dennis would be home on Friday. There was a moment's silence, then Barbara said calmly, turning the page of a book she was reading: "What a pity! I shall have,to go to town on Friday." "Barbie! Can't you put it off? I wanted, to celebrate. I've asked Pet- er to dinner." "I'm sorry, but I've promised to lunch and go to a theatre with Cap- tain Barnet!" Pauline got up and came to sit on. the arm of her friend's chair. "I wish you wouldn't go out with that man, Barbie." "My `dear soul, why "He's "married:" "Well, that's his misfortune, his fault." "Do you think He did not move or seem to hear. Someone standing in the window turned, cane forward. Barbara, of course. "Dennis!" Pauline was down on her knees ;beside him, sobbing brok- en-heartedly. Barbara put an arm round Pauline and lifted her to her. feet. "You must control yourself. They won't let you stay here at the hos- pital if you make a scene. He's all right, I promise you. Pauline, you know I would tell you the truth." "I know—but he might have been killed. How did it happen? It could- n't have been Dennis' fault, he's such a careful driver." "It was at the crossroads,"' Bar- bara explained. "It's always hard to say who is to blame. The man driv- ing the other car wasn't hurt at all." In her heart Barbara knew quite well Dennis had been ` to blame. When she had warned. him that he ever not?'' not marriage is a mis- fortune, then?" 'Yes, in nine cases out of ten. It was in mine -it is in Jerry's. You, no doubt, will be the great excep- tion that proves the rule." "I wish you weren't se cynical," "Life—my sort of life, at least— makes one cynical, so don't worry your little head about me. I'm quite happy in niy own way." There was a Short silence; then Pauline asked almost shyly: "Is Jer- ry Barnet the man you - you said you care.d about?" Barbara laughed. "Jerry? Good heavens, no! He's not my sort. We are good friends, but I couldn't fall in love with 'a man who only talks about horses and clogs." "And you really mean to go on Friday?" Pauline raised tragic eyes. "I've promised." "But he asked for you, he knew "It's because she doesn't wan to your name—he hadn't forgotten that meet Dennis,' Pauline thought bit - you were with him, though he seem- terly, when Barbara had left her. "I ed to have forgotten nie," she added know that's what it is. Why do those slowly. Barbara did not answer. * *. * It was . a month before Dennis was allowed' to be taken home. Pauline fretted and worried, but Dennis him- self aided and abetted the doctors. "My dear child, it's far better to leave me where I am. You'd only wear yourself out if I were at home.". "He didn't say he was anxious to get back home," Pauline told Bar- bara afterward, almost in tears. Bar- bara had stayed on during Dennis's illess—reluctantly, it is true, and on- ly after Pauline had begged and im- plored of her not to go. She said now in answer to her friend's words: `'Work, means every- thing to a than like Dennis—it in- cludes you and his home and every- thing else." Pauline reflected, then she siged. "I suppose you're right," she said at last. "You' understand men so well." Barbara flatly refused to visit .Den- nis in the hospital, though Pauline protested that he would think it un- kind. two dislike .each other so much,, I wonder?' Then suddenly a bright idea came to her. If Dennis was well -enough to come home on Friday, he would be well enough to . come home on Thursday. Barbara should not know, and Peter should be asked to dinner for Thursday instead. She made her plans as happily as' a child, taking 'only the maid into her confidlence.. And on Thursday Barbara had a headache. "Nothing much,", she told Pauline, who went to her room and hung over her with solicitude. "It's the kind of headache I get when 1 know any exertion lies before me. Leaving this comfortable room, for instance, and moving on. -All my life I seen: to have been moving on," she added rather drearily,and then as she saw' the concern in Pauline's eyes, she sat up with sudden energy: "Don't take any notice of me, Send me a strong cup of tea and: leave inc in peace till tea time; then I'll be down, clothed and in my right mind," (Continued next week.)
