HEART BALM Chapter 85

But l did not call up Colin. Pei-- iuaps ii I had been perfectly calm ind logical I would have gone to ‘lly own place and telephoned him. ‘int an empty taxi was passing when I left my aunt's house, and l hailed it and mechanically gave Colin's address. It was not yet noon and I knew as Colin spent his uioruings working he would ho iu.

His housekeeper ushered inc in- 'o a tiny reception room, and said rlie would send "Mr. Macffemly’ in to me in a moment. Evidently .he took me for a client who wanted to arrange for a portrait While she was gone I started about ‘I19 in surprise, wondering for n moment whether I was in the I‘l[.',llI place. I was so absorbed with my awn affairs thatl had the curious feeling that everything outside my- olf was unreal. Every woman who has been through a sudden sorrow or crisis must know this feeling.

Then I remembered that Colin Md done over his apartment. Ho. ms making quite a good- income .\'ow. but instead of moving into I more pretentious place. he bad kept his old apartment and had it done over in o. beautiful fash- inn.

He came hurrying in, with roll. "11 11D sleeves and old working clothes, his hands covered with mint.

"sorry to have kept you," no ipoiogized. "I've been cleaning off ‘lIl old canvas. What is it; Connie’! You look rather badly.”

"All right. come back into my ivorksiiip." Colin never called his studio anything but his "work. 1109-" “Do you like my grand reception room? Done for niy millionaire clients. You lock lovely against that black velvet 11111181118 Connie, especially with your pale skin. Shall I do you n portrait?"

"N0." I said abruptly. "Where's the workshop."

He led the way to a small room with a north window. I had been I" 1119 Discs before when he gavg 111119 P811168. but never in this tiny itudio. It was littered with can.

AN Answsn. Chapter 86.

Was it really true’!

Wihat was behind \WInt'brop's let- ter? Did he want to be free-or did be really think that I wanted my freedom, since I seemed to be going about in such a frivolous manner‘! Or was this the begin- ning of a reaction on his part?

Win never ‘believed I could stay away from him, or keep silent so long. 'Hs was always ‘sure of my love, entirely too sure. [made the enormous mistake of giving him all he wanted and more than he wanted. It is s. fault of my type as I know now; I sacrificed every- thing for my love of lilm, and found my greatest pleasure in doing so.

Had he been another sort, that would only ihave made us happier, but his happened to ‘be bhc type that finds zest in the unattainable. Tihat was Gwen's great ‘mold over lilm, but. I could-not see it———l was too jealous, ‘too easily worried. Gwen would be as charming to him as anyone could be—-biit 'hs bad only her friendship and that he shared with a great many other Imen. Gwenwas always beyond his ‘reach, always to be sought. after, never to ‘be had.

And I did not realize this until llong after. If I had, I would have lprofited by her example-and. would

not. have been so jealous.

Colin imade another illuminating (remark that uftrenoon. He Iliad been so ‘busy when I interrupted lilm at. noon that "he had sent me nway almost at once after luncheon, promlsingto come late in the after- noon to talk over the next step. l-Ie did not come until nearly six,

"Isaid iI would not answer until you came," I began. “So I haven't. Now what shall I say?"

I went over ‘to the big antique desk, where paper and envelope were ready.

“Not so fast," IColin said. "Con- nie, when will you learn that noth- ing is gained by hurry, everything by deliberation in some cases‘! This is ‘one of them."

"I must answer if. now"

"All right. Blur-wait, don't Milli e0. This is Wednesday. uaiu ll’. Friday. Then give it to -ms and I'll mull it Saturday and Win won't get it unti-I Sunday.” Ljiiyhaf

"But why?"

"Dear girl, how lacking you are in tibs first principles of feminine arts! Keep him guessing, that's why."

I obedientiy dated the letter ahead. c _

“What do you think he'll do?" Colin folded the letter, slipped it into the envelope, sealed it andiput it in hi8 pocket. He evidently did not trust me enough to let ma have the letter to hold a few days and mail. ‘I-Ie was sum i would repent, inur it up and write something 1111110 different.

“I don't think you'll hear from him." he said. "As I told you, I sincerely believe he wants to make up. iBut don't do it-—yet. It's too early."

"He's still going about with Gwen-mot always openly, though. I've seen liar alone sometlmec—" Colin began to laugh. ' “Do you think he spends all his time running about town with her?" "With her, or someone else. Win must‘ spend his leisure running about. He can't ever stay quietly at home or in any one place."

, ‘Colin lit/ another cigarette. "He'll probably get over tliat— though I'll admit he's been at it for some time. Would you slili like to so back to Wellsvills to live, if Win went along?"

“I'd like nothing better," I said Drmnptiy- "No one would gossip then. It would ‘be ideal."
