TEN IRONWOOD DAILY GLOBE. IRONWOOD. MICH. TUESDAY JANUARY 9 THE DAILY GLOBE FICTION AND FEATURE PACE BLACKOUT BY BVTH AVERS COPYRIGHT 1939 CHAPTER It Mary leaned against the sandbag barricade for support. Vincent Gregg and Carla Marchetta passed down the steps of the lodging house and on beyond the tobacconist's shop, joined the throngs of Trafalgar Square.

Their attitude of intimacy had been heightened by one of merriment, some pleasantry they alone enjoyed. This jest or witticism, or whatever it was. seemed to shut a door between them and Mary Carroll. Now. even if she could have renounced her pride, if she could have faced her fiance with her beauty disfigured from the blow on the Moravia, she could never have matched Vincent's pace.

Things had gone too far ahead while she lay in the hospital. And if ever the adage, "three's a crowd," was applicable, it was now. Her loneliness seemed almost more than she could bear. The desolation of her heart had stunned her. She had not known she could feel so cut off from anyone as she felt removed from Vincent at that minute.

Back to Charing Cross she went as the bright winter day became overcast. The silver balloon barrage melted into gray clouds as visibility lessened. A light train whipped her drawn face. The coat that "You will want to get yourself some gay clothes to be married in," be was saying. He tendered a tip veil would cast merciful uncertainty over the marred side of her face.

A gold clip, new gloves, nose and oxfords of London tan gave Mary an exhilaration she had not felt in months. But all the time she busied her. self with these outward details. wjui umc ouiwBra oewus, note. "Some new clothes I fne battled with her conscience.

will make you feel better. You don't get married every day, you know." "How exactly like him!" she reflected as she murmured her thanks. "Thoughtful, above all." She had not included that in the swift catalog of his qualities. When she rpoke it was hard to express the fullness of her gratitude. "You are much, much to good.

You deserve the finest wife in the world. "I'm not complaining about the wife I'm going to get," he said quietly. "Even if she is to be a wife in name only." The next day Mary went shopping to nearby Selfridges. the American department store in Oxford street. She was surprised to find she could care again about lines and materials, and treatments.

"Blue's my best color," slie decided. "Blue it will be." The right shade would accentuate the color of hei eyes that the accident on the Moravia, for all its malevolence, had not been able to harm. She was pleased with a royal blue frock with jaunty pleats and close-fitting bodice. And it even had a jacket that would do away with the black coast Lady Ponce- i Townsend had given her. The out- was all too thin for this cold, wet winter, seemed to pro- wind.

Her feet dragged along the streets and up the stairs to th- rooms in Soho Square. And there was no cheery fire blazing in the grate as there had been yesterday. Without stopping to remove her wet coat she sat down at the writing table. Without even thinking what she wrote, the words formed: Dear Dr. Lenox: The offer of marriage you made last night overwhelmed me with its generosity.

While I feel reluctant to allow you to sacrifice yourself lor me. nevertheless, if you are still of the same mind, I shall be proud to share your name. And if you have reconsidered and wish to withdraw the offer, please believe I understand. Sincerely, Anna Winters. She scaled the letter hurriedly, found a stamp and rushed out to poet, it before she might change her mind.

The next night brought Gilbert Lenox to Soho Square. The sight of liim renewed her courage. "I don't think you will regret this decision." he said seriously. "It isn't that I will ever bother you. Your personal life will be as free as it always has been." Man- nodded.

That was one of the reasons she had held back. He could give her so much and she could give him nothing in return. "You only have to say will' in the registry and it will be allover. It's quite simple to pet married in wartime; everything is easily arranged. I made inquiries today," he went on.

"I will have time off on Saturday afternoon. I think it would be best, to have the ceremony then, if you agree. Then, if I have to go to France next week, everything will have been taken care of." "It isn't as if he weren't one of the most eligible men in London," Mary told herself. "Handsome, educated, likeable, and as dependable as the Bank of England. Why is it that men like Gilbert Lenox are always second choices to the Vincent Greggs?" But to love Vincent had been hei- destiny and to escape his love the could not.

Nor would she ever stop loving Vincent? After all, he thought her dead. Was it not unjust to expect that he would cut himself off from all the things of life because of her memory? Gilbert's voice brought her back to the immediate problem. too. On the marriage records she must give the name of Anna Winters Hitherto her masquerade had hurt no one. Would it be wrong to take this legal step without revealing her own identify? In the end, she had her'answer.

This ceremony was to be an impersonal a marriage at all. If she betrayed her real identity now she would be sent back to America. Some day she would make everything clear to Gilbert Lenox. Saturday found Dr. Lenox and his bride-to-be en route to the registry.

"Cheer up. little sober sides." Gilbert said, looking at her kindly as the taxi bounced over the cobbles. "There isn't a thing to worry about. From now on, everything will be all right!" In the bright winter sunlight, Mary found herself relaxing under the doctor's thoroughly competent her tated only a second. Then her voice, which had been so muffled, spoke up "I do!"
