INOW GO OK WITH THE STORY]
CHAPTER »
THE NEXT NIOHT they sent
BmHia to the Paloie Ae Glace. Abby
went with her. Abby was chafing
over having nothing to do. You just
sat around headquarters, she said,
and people were so casual and eo
stupid.
Emilia, tremulous and gay, fol
lowed a "team’’ of professional ac
tresses. The rows on rows of seats
filled with sober-faced, brown-clad
young officers frightened her for the
moment: then suddenly they became
for her, once and fer aa long aa she
should be there, comrades of Robin:
friends of Robin. The lifting and
thrill of heart that wopld have come
to her if her brother had been there
with Dick and Roger by him came
suddenly to her; and that feeling of
oneness, of unitedneas with her audi
ence, which is the greatest reward of
performance, came to her suddenly,
too, never quite to leave her again
whenever she stood on a platform.
Halfway in the song, her epee
caught a glitter of a shoulder-bar.
Could it be Ho bin —Roger? At this
minute, alone, far front everyone ebe
had loved, she was closer In spirit
to Roger Scarlett than she had ever
been. If he had come In; If he had
walked up the aisle then, at the
close of the song, perhaps she might
have been bis for always ... or
perhaps not. Perhaps it was only one
of those transient moods of love that
all young girls know. But in any
event, the magic did not evoke
Robin; it did not bring her Reger.
She finished her song, and came
down from rite platform, to find her
tends gfuaped in strong, magnetic
young bands, to hear Dick Stoddard’s
gay triumphant voice, charming,
masculine despite the Slight echo of
flatness.
* "Say, Emilia, you winner! You
peach! You knocked ’em for a goal!
Am I proud?”
He bent close, poenemiv* and
merry. He wasn’t Roger or Robin,
but he was nearly as good, with the
added excitement of novelty and of
hie sweeping charm.
“Oh. Dick, tew wonderful to aw
you! Where la Rdrtsr
“Wonderful, you bett Dicky’s

to the disappointment at tim otter
officers who had wanted to flood
round her and apeak to her.
“Wait a minute, Dick. Let me talk
to the others.” •
He frowned w little, as If he didn’t
want anybody to talk to her. They
surged around her until the secretary
in charge took ter away from them.
Rf waa flushed and laughing and a
■Hie crumpled by the enthusiastic
handshakes and crowding, but ate
waa strung to a pitch of high excite
ment which Dick’s presence did not
lessen.
"And now, - said Dick. ‘TH teU you

“This,” said Dick with hla little
flourish, “Is the famous songstress
sad cheer-leader, Emilia Valaty. Give
her three cheers, boys."
“You would be the one to find her,
you old espion,” said Robin, fondly.
It was wartime. They were in one
soother's arms, she and Robin, there
publicly in the case; in another mo
ment, ia the excitement and pleasure
of R all, she had klsred Roger, too.
“I feel lonely and left out," said
Diek. But she didn’t kiss Dick. She
laughed at him over her shoulder
with a girlish coquetry which had
been a little intensified by the adora
tions of her voyage.
They looked each other over after
that—the long, hidden looks of war
time, when under all the delight of
reunion was the hurt of parting soon
to be; when one must be gay for
the other's sake, on the strong cur
rents of Immediacy and excitement.
Robin looked well and brown. He
was a little steadier, a little more
dominant, as indeed they all were;
the rule of the world had been tossed
into their young hands, and their
generation waa taking up what had
been given It Emilia and Robin sat
a little agwrt, as always, while Roger
and Dick, friends heartily enough to
sit appearance, talked to each other
—about war, the chances of
getting to the front, about their men,
about anything. They were new
enough to the war to talk about it
not tn have to hide its everlasting
presence in their minds with laugh
ter and the little momentary things.
“And father? What did you hear of
Mm last?" Emilia was saying
eagerly.
“Oh, bless his heart the Spartan
father to the end. Proud of you,
proud, if you’d believe it of the Boy
Lieutenant. ‘AH the men brave and
ah the women pure.’ Here’s to the
dad and hla cliches, bless his heart.
I’m laughing about it. Emltta, but I
nearly cried when he was saying
good-bye to me. Father's not a mod

historical continuity, whs cares like

go on, aad Who can send the only
son be baa off the way he did me—
’l trust you, my son. You won’t do

"And when the war’s over, it will be

“What else can it be?” said
Emilia, firing up, too. "And oh,
Robin, wasn’t Dick clever to get us
this last chance *to be together, in
case I can’t get to see you when
yen're tn the training areas! Though
I’m going to try to!” she added,
dimpling.

lug of the real Roger than all the
years they had lived next door ta
one another. Emilia had always
taken him for granted, his blue-eyed
silence, his understanding protective
ness, his tall strength and wisdom.
He was stronger than most men; she
thought, smiling suddenly at him
across the table, catching hts look
so that be colored under his tan. that
he was wiser. And she sett the arms
of his protection closer around her.
“Roger, tell me about you t" she
said. Interrupting the stream of bis
silent concentration on her.
“There’s nothing to tell, my dear,”
he said. “I'm being transferred into
the engineering corps shortly, and
unless I can learn te pull strings
with Stoddard’s intelligence, spend
some months of the war building
huts and barracks and other fiery,
warlike things.”
She laughed at Ms disgust “Well,
If you would be an engineer by
what could you expect?"
"Anything else in the world,” in
terrupted Dick. "The big idea over
here is to find out what you do best
and then put you to doing something
else again that you never did at all.
Roger will doubtless end as a gunner
or a liaison officer or something
cheery like that. BraiHa, what poo

“I know one!” she cried. “Do you

“You bet I do“ said Dick the
worldly-wise. “Colonels can de any

"Wen, what else?" demanded Dick
Indignantly.
“Nothing else. Robin, before I for

that was simply appalling, because
you wouldn't take much.”
It bad been one of those strange
passionate asceticisms that flatesd
athwart Robin’s character. He had
gone out like a pttgrtm wMh scarcely
more than staff and scrip.
