They were deliberately silent until we had left tne room. T.t'm nn it said Julia, aa soon as the door of her room had closed behind us, and burst inw tears. I let her cry, her sobs muffled in the pillow, until she had exhausted herself.

Kar." she said. "I didn't know you were here. I've slept outrageously late tnis morning, but we were up until all hours last night What's going on?" "Col. Pennant and Adam hare been questioning us." I said, hop ing she would let it go at inai. I did not want to tell about Sandra again 1 wanted to get back to JtiHa.

Col. Pennant's voice at the foot of the stairs provided a welcome distraction. "Is that you. Mlmi? Will you come down here, please "Right away." she called back. 'You'll stay and have dinner with us.

won't you Kay? It's dinner on Sundays, you know. And I'm afraid it's quite soon. Cora has the afternoon off." I thought of Julia's tear swollen tup.m and of the uncomfortable curiosity of families. I made up my mind quicxiy. "I've asked Julia to have dinner with me somewherewe thought we'd like to go to Fieldstone Inn If I can borrow a car." 'Take mine," she said, as I had hoped she would.

Fieldstone inn is an ultrareepectable road house on the Chicago road. I thought she looked surprised, but not suspicion. "Where is Julia?" "In her room. Thanks for the car you're sure you won't be wanting it this afternoon?" "No. Stay as long as you like.

Only be back before dark. These roads around here are not safe." It was in my mind that she did a good bit of driving after dark herself, but of course I did not say so. I watched her start down stairs and thought that, for all her careful grooming, she looked her ace or a little more this morning. Which might be merely the result of lost sleep. Julia waa aitting on the side of the bed staring at the floor when I came In.

I gave her the damp cloth and, while she scrubbed her face, told her about our lunch date. Nostalgia "Swell. she said huakilyVNow won't have to keep to my room and answer dumb questions. 1 wouldn't want them to know about this; they're so thick why Miml has promoted this msrriage THERE'S more than this aa If her life depended on it. she added with instinctive fair ness.

"that she could have brought it off without their cooperation I'm not fool enough to blame her. While she made herself present able, and while we drove the ten miles to Fieldstone inn I encour aged her to talk about them about Jeff and Sandra, and about Miml. I learned much that had been vague in my mind before perhaps mora than Julia knew she was telling me. More, certainly than I had sense enough to recog nlxe until later, when I began put ting the pieces together. There was only one thing she omitted, and I don't know yet whether she simply didn't think of It, or whether she kept silent from a sense of loyalty to her father and Miml.

For it was not until long time later that I learned about Mhni where Col. Pennant met her. and how he came to marry her. And that piece of in formation waa to make clear much that puttied me. She talked now wistfully, with nostalgia, of the years just con cluded at West Point.

Col. Pen nant on duty at the poet, Jeff a cadet, Miml a bride; Julia at Ijome week ends and vacations from boarding school. I had been there one never to be forgotten June week the year Charlie graduated; but I had not known Julia then. It was a strange feeling to remember that week the hope, the parades, the baseball games, the horse snows. Hign hearted days through which I had moved with Charlie beside me.

And to know now that near me, crossing my path again and again, part of that glittering pageant, bad moved to Julia, with Jeff by her side; to know that I had walked past the old brick quarters that faced up the Hudson, had prob ably read the neatly lettered sign, LT. COL. PENNANT, on the door step the quarters where Mlmi had come as a bride, where Jeff had lived every moment of his free time during his first three years at the academy, until after his first class summer, when Sandra had come to the Pennant's for a visit and Julia had lost hhn to her. Julia took me inside those quar ters now, showed me a homesick, scared plebe dodging into them like a spent fox to cover; resting awhile, not saying much, gather ing the courage to go forth again. "I'll never forget that first Christmas." she said.

"I brought three girls home from school and we had a party every night. The plebes aren't permitted to leave, you know, and they try to make up for all the fun they've been missing. "Every time we turned around we ran into a mob of them. Those girls went to town, I'm telling you. Even Miml had herself a time.

She was 28 or 29, but she didn't look much older than the rest of us. "I was 16, and they let me have some slinky clothes. There was one black satin evening dress that waa a skirt and a prayer that I practically wept for when I saw it and Miml said, 'Let her have It there's a moment that comes once in a lifetime." 'Only Me' "Where waa Sandra then?" "In Texas, with Jeffs mother and father. Mrs. Tack died the ollowing summer, and Col.

Tack bad a nervoua breakdown and waa nearly a year in the hospital, so Jeff had no home to go to the next Christmas, and spent his furlough with three other cadets on a cattle boat that went to South America. "I think his father turned against him. You know how nervous breakdowns are. Jeff never spoke turn a car ready I WJk mmtm of it, but I know he never went home, except for his mother's funeral; not even after Col. Tack was retired and he and Sandra took an apartment in San Anto nio." "So he didn't see her either dur ing that time?" "Not until his first class sum mer.

Col. Tack never got complete ly well his heart gave out San dra stayed with him until he died and then she did what she had al ways wanted to docame to New York to study acting. And in weak moment we invited her to West Point Jeff had never had any girl but Julia. He never, apparently. looked at anyone else.

They were both growing up, and what had started as a natural companion ship based on childhood aseocla tion, was heading apparently toward one of those early marriages that often turn up so well. Julia, at least, never doubted that they would be married in the chapel on his graduation day. "Why, everyone knew he was mine," she told me. clenching her hand on the wheel and staring desperately at the road. "There were week ends when I couldn't get home Miml was set on my finishing school but he never even took a blind drag.

He'd spend the evening with Dad and Mlmi, or maybe he'd take Miml to the hop or the movies. He liked Mimi thought she was cute. For a while he used to call her just to tease her, but she didn't take it very well, ao he quit You might not think so, but Jeffs very sensitive to people's feelings. He can't bear to hurt anyone. Only only me She stilled the quivering of her Hps and turned the ear carefully between the stone pillars that guard the entrance to Fieldstone Inn "I don't want anything to eat but I expect you do," she said when she had parked.

I ordered for her, nevertheless, and watched her make a small meal without. I was sure, knowing what she put in her mouth. The place was not unduly crowded, and I had chosen an isolated table, i talked a bit while she ate, told her about Charlie and the girl he had fallen in love with. and that it didn't hurt any longer. brought out all the familiar platitudes about fisn in the sea and a hundred years from now.

She listened and tried to take some comfort from it. But when I finished she silenced me com pletely. You can lose a hand, she said quietly, spreading her ringless fingers and looking at them as if she had never seen them before. "And after a while the stump will quit hurting. I suppose.

But you can never find another hand that will take the place of that hand or be just as good. And be sides, there's Jeff to think about She'll make him unhappy. I know she will. She's such a devil." It was said so dispassionately that my flesh crawled. But in my heart I agreed with her.

After all she had told me. my lnetlnct cried foul play. But how. and by whom, could only surmise. crrta ht.

Taverns are crowded, store registers ring dollars steadi ly and the sidewalks are jammed. For the good old days are back better than ever in this World war boom town that clusters around the Puget Sound navy yard There little salty atmosphere in Bremerton. But the city pulses with the tide more then old Salem, in its palmiest days. At the front door are the ferries, the huge naval construction yards, lm mense aryaoexs. Torpedoes are stored on the town's back porch and the song the city sings is the clanging melody of American naval preparedness.

While moat cities are just beginning to know there is a defense program, Bremerton is already in the full tempo of wartime activity, though It is one of the cities far thest removed from the European war. In 1867, U. S. naval authorities recommended that a ship yard be established on the great peninsula because of the deep sheltered waters and the natural defenses. This has become a huge, sprawling establishment capable of building or repairing almost any ship.

More than 7,800 men are employed now. Two destroyers were launched a few weeks ago and others are on the way. Aircraft carriers, cruis ers, battle wagons and auxiliaries follow each other here for repairs. Bremerton got its first big push toward city status during the World war. Then as now, there were more Jobs than beds in the town.

Then the war ended and the bottom fell out of the city. A year or so ago the naval build ing program got underway again. The population began rising in a flood. The 200 homes built this year were snapped up. Nearly every night, six or seven men apply for sleeping room in the Jail.
