CHAPTER XIII
SYNOPSIS
Since . 'her husband's death,
Anne Pbilllips has worked to sup-
port her children. She is dis-
tiutbbed now because Jim, her son,
has become en'gdged to rieh Hel-
en Slanders. Anne suspects Cathy,'
widowed little dancer, is in love
with Jim. 'Berenice, Agne's old-
er daughter, is miserable be-
cause her husband, Bill Carter, has
left her. Janet, the younger daugh-
ter, has just became engaged.. on
trial to Tony Ryani--rich young
man who was born in Shanty
Town and who has bought and
restored with Janet's help, the
old Phillips estate. Helen San-
ders and Jim ante having lunch
with Helen+s father. Helen has,
just told Jim that he can't go
back to ,his office.
She •opened the medicine cabinet.
Her hands rattled on the glass
shelves. She picked up the first tube
and put the contents into her palm.
There were only four tablets. •
She filled a gia;3s, with water. She
put the tablets 'in her mouth and
drank the .water. She kept watching
her drawn face in the mirror. She
felt no different. Her brain was still
crawling with thoughts:
"I have to have some. rest," she
whispered.
She picked up the other tube. It
was over half full. She emptied it
jerkily into her mouth and drank
'more water. She had a terrible time
swallowing. She kept drinking water
till all the. tablets were gone.
Berenice went back into the living
room and lay down on the couch.
She closed her 'eyes. She thought it
a few moments I'll go off to steep.
Only she di•d, not feed - sleepy. Her
head began to swell. It felt giddy
as if it were floating away from her
body.
Somehow she was going down the
street. .She did not; remember how
she got' there. Atter a while she
was standing'" at the bottom of the
back stairs at the flat.. She sat down
on the lower landing. • She could
scarcely get up. She was drowsy at
last, terrible drowsy. She had
d
reached the point where she could,
sleep anywhere 'and she had for-
gotten why she had ever thought it
necessary to climb the stairs, but
her sick brain 'clung to its fixed idea.
"Got to get tb -Mother," she whis-
pered and pulled herself step by step
up the stairs. '
The screen door at the back was
latched. .Berenice'e body was numb
from feet to waist. She glanced'
longingly at a porch chair. Nobody
would disturb her there before morn-
ing. No one ever came out on. the
back porch late. at night.
whispered
and slumped to her knees and then
.forward on her face.

"What's that?" errlaimed Tony Ry-
an. •
He and Janet and her mother and
Stephen -Hill were playing Monopoly
in the living room. The others stared
at Tony. I beard a noise out back,"
he explained. "Think I'll have a
look."
Anne followed him. Janet and
Steve after a moment's hesitation
trailed , along.- Tony opened the
screen door at the back: He stooped
swiftly and gathered up what Anne
had taken for a 'shadow en the

"Make some strong black coffee,"
he ,said to Anne. "Hurry. Take her
other arm, Janet. Help me keep 'her'
moving. We mus'tp't let her go to
sleep. She's taken something, some '
kiind of poison."
They pried Berenice's rigid jaws
apart. Anne's 'hands, did not flinch.
She refilled thy -coffee cup. She
forced anothel;• cupful between her
child's colo;^less lips.
"Let—me---rest," panted Berenice.
"No," said Anne.
Berenlice moaned pitifully. Tony
and Janet took up their dreadful
march again, half carrying, half
dragging Berenice's slack body be-
tween them. Steve came back into
the kitchen.
"The doctor will be here in ten
minutes," he said.
"She isn't coming otit of it," said -
Tony. "Get ice and towels, some-
body. Whip her fade and neck with
them!"
"I'll do it," said Anne:
whispered Berenice.
Tony glanced at Steve. "Here are
the key's to my ear. Take it and go
after him. The name's Carter. .He's
the one I told you about, sells radio
advertising."
"Any idea where he is?" asked
Stevehoarsely. '
"He came to see me last week.
Said: he was, staying down in a
cheap rooming house across tibe
branch. He's very dark, big chap,
looks as'If he'd beep. ill." •
"I'•ll find him," said -Steve.
He wanted to do something, any-
thing. He did not believe he could
stand it if 'he had to go on help-'
iess'ly watcdrdng the agony in Anne's
drawn face.
"There's the doctor," said. Tony.
Anne ran to open the door. She
brought the doctor back to the
kitchen. He took one glance at
Berenice and opened: 'his medicine
case.
"What did ' she take?'.' he asked
Tony. •
- "Some -kind, of narcotic, not an
acid, thank God!" >.
The doctor nodded. "Take h e r
into a bedroom, get her clothes "off."
Tony picked Berenice up and car-
ried her down the hall, Janet ran
ahead to turd down the bed. Be-
tween them they undressed Berenice.
No one spoke. The only sound was
Berendc's' labored tleaning,'
After a long while the doctor
stood up. Still no one spoke, but
Anne's eyes were.. fixed on his in an-
guish entreaty.
"It depends on the patient's re-
sistanee," said the doctor gravely,
"on whether she wants to live."
"Bill, Bill," moaned Berenice.
Anne 'held her close. "We've sent
for Bill, dearest, she said tenderly.
"Steve will bring him," said Tony.
Steve d'ld! bring Bill, a Bill- whose
clothes hung on him, whose face was
gaunt, Berenice's: 'eyes were closed.
She did• •not open them when he
came in. Bill dropped on his knees
beside her. His lips worked; but he
could not speak.
Berenice stirred feverishly, "BiIl,"
she whispered.
He took her thin, limp hand and
•laid. it against his cheek. "I'm here,
Berenice."
With a tired sigh Berenice rested
her head on his shoulder, "You'll
be 'here When—when I wake?"
"I'll always be with you, sweet."
-Like an eanhausted child she fell
asleep in. his, areas. ..
Berenice had not been back to her
apartment since her illness. She said
she never wanted to see it again cr
el rip tires to .pieces for the fun of it," Janet said.
"Berenice!" she cried.
Tony stood Berenice .on her feet.
"I't's,--all—right, Mother," she said. in
a slow thick voice. "I haven't been
sleeping lately. I'uu--sol--tired. I
want to sleep in my old bed."
"Dearest!" cried Anne. "You're
ill."
"Bill's left her, m:other," faltered'
Janet. "Two weeks ago. She made
me promise not to tell you."
Anne flinched as if she had been
struck and Berenice shook her head.
"Didn't want to worf-y you. No-
body's fault but mine. Can I go to
bed n'ow, Mother? I'm—se—sleep."
Tears
Tears were running down—Anne's
cheeks. • "O1 course, dearest, Mother
will tuck you in." -
"Wait," said Tony Ryan.
Anne glanced at him. Her face
blanched at the look in his eyes.
"What is it?" she gasped, "Why do
you look like that?"
"I'm sorry," the said. He turned
to Steve. "Call a doctor. Call Dr.
Reynolds."
"Oh, what le it?" whispered Anne.
"She—" Tony drew a long breath'
and sbeok this head. He tonjr;-
Deremiee's arm. He began to walk
her up and down the kitchen. He
slapped her wrists, her bands.
anyone connected. with her life there,
anyone except Bill. It was pathetic
"avow Berenice clung to Bill, hoar svic
could srareely bear to It him out of
'her sight or he, her.
Tony first interested Steve Hill in
Bill. Sieve's word carried weight in
the radio world. He had Bill, pro-
moted to the script •department 'on
the local station, Steve said Bill had
ideas, ideas that were needed - on
s'oemarbos and advertising programs.
"The boy's no sal'es'man," he ex-
pladned, "but he'll rise and shine in
the writing field if I know, creative
talent when I see it." •-
--InItlhe meanwhile, although his pro-
motion carried a modest rise in sal-
ary, Bill and Berenice were going
back to three housekeeping rooms in
an old brick house.
Janet had imagined it would take
them all afternoon to get settled in
the new place. Both she and Bill were
determined that Berenice should• do
nothing except Lis on the couch In the
living room and direct proceedings.
However, everything was finished by
'four o'clock. Janet .decided' while she
had Jim's fiivver to run an errand
for itAnmae, ' Old Mrs,. Givens who
ldv'ed on a back road behind the
Coitetry. Club earned her living by
•making patchwork - - quilts'. Anne
saved samples of materials for her.
Janet stopped at the flat for the
bundle and delivered it. It was after
five, the hottest time in the afternoon,
when she started back to town and
ungl it joined the highway the road
was unpaved.
"Thank heaven; there's only a mile
of this," she psuttered, choking on
the cloud of red dust she had kicked
up.
She . felt appreh'eaalve about the
tires on the car. They were badly
worn. Jim, was, dickering tor new
ones.
"I knew it," she exclaimed when
with a .slap, bang, wh•oos•h, the left
rear tire went flat.
"As I *live and breathe," cried
Janet. "A rescue!"
When the roadster slowed down
beside her, her exultatien took wings.
"No," she rhu•ttered morosely, "there
are days when you can't get a break."
"Having 'troubleV.-inquired Gordon
Key nervously.
"Oh, no," replied Janet with ela-
borate sarcasm, "I rip tires to pieces
for the sheer girlish fun of it."
"We can telephone Jim after - we
get to town, and have him send out
for the car," he suggested timidly.
"That is, if you don't mind riding in
with me."
"There doesn't seem to be any
help for it," snapped Janet.
She locked the flivver and climbed
in beside Gordon, ostentatiously ig-
nor•ing his offer of assistance.
He started ,and turned very pink.
"You mean, they'll think ' we—er—
planned it.."
It• was not Gordon's fault that
just as they turned' in rift the dirt
road, Priscilla ` Leigh should drive
out of the''l. Country • Club. grounds
in her white and scarlet roadster.
'But -it was Gordon's fault when he
became excited and stalled his en-
gine right across' . the• highway se
t.:at neither .machine could. move.
Gorden shivered and would have
embarked upon a voyage "of ex-
planation if Janet had not kicked
him in the shin. "Heave we taken
root or what?" she demanded
fiercely. "Let's go."
The car began slowly to move
away. "So nice tcv have seen you,"
Priscilla called after them with,„ a
silvery mocking laugh.
* * *
Anne had asked Cathy and Danny
to supper that night. - Anne also in-
sisted . that Berenice and Bill come
back to the flat too.
• Bill bent anxiously over Berenice.
"Tired, sweet?" he asked tenerly.
Berenice laid her cheek against
,his 'hand. "A little."
"Run on, you two," said Anne
tvith a .smile. "I shan't - be alone.
Steve Hill is coming."
The doorbell rang and Janet,
coloring ' painfully, started to he: -
feet. "There's. Tony, she exclaimei
apt! added hurriedly. "I'11 be seeks
yeU.,,
She „did: not ask Tony in. She
merely nodded and turned toward
the stair. Neither of them spoke
until they were in the car.
"I hear you had a• flat ,this after-
noon " he drawled.
That Priscilla had supplied him
with a lurid account of the incident
Janet did not doubt, but neither
his tone- nor his expression b,--
ti•ayed what he was thinking.
She starei1 at l:im defiantly.
"Yes," she staid', "I did."
Too bad," ,murmured Tolay and
let it go at that.
Most of their crowd were having
dinner at the club. prior to the dance,
They had arranged , to sit together
at one long table. Having retired to
the dressing room to remove her
short evening cape Janet same upon
Norma Poole in the process, of pow-

cilla area spread her story broadcast.
At least Norma had heard' a highly
spiced version of the affair.
"Whatever possessed you, Janet?"
she demanded. "You're too splendid

A very effective, convenient and in-
