MARRYING MARK . . . . by Violette Kimball Dunn CHAPTER 1 Tha morning following K'.'.en's departure from the earthly scene, Mark woke to confusion. Then he looked through tile open doorway Into the emptiness that was Ellen's room. and remembered. But oddly enough, it was not his wife's soing that came back to h*m. It was the memory of the horridly sweet fumes from hundreds of blossoms the curious mingling ot dissolution and festivity that had risen to the upstairs sitting room where he and young Valerie had sat the day be- fore In deference to custom. He was indignant that after sub- mitting to tine conventions thrust upon him. he must be shut up here in the sitting room as if he were a criminal, while people tlirouged his house at will. And indignant that anything as joyous as a rose should be forced into unwilling contact with what could be at worst only a colossal blunder. He stirred the logs In the fire- place. When they blazed he sat down on a deep sofa and held out a hand to Valerie. She rose obed- iently and sat beside him, and he put a casual arm around her. He looked at her almost as if he had never seen her before, hardly real- izing that in reality he never had. People who lived with Ellen were barred from any real knowledge of. each other, since her necessity had been interpretation. Sister Dorothy From below rose the sound of sinking. Mark had no Idea who the singer was. Her voice was smooth and bland, tuned to consolation. He wanted to get up and shut the sit- ting-room door, but Ellen's sister Dorothy, who had taken charge of him and his grief, had left it open so that he and Valerie could hear the service. Instead, he talked softly and in- cessantly to Valerie. About One rose garden, and the spring that was almost on them. About any- thing he could think of connected with life and Joy. until Valerie's tense young slimness relaxed i _ i i-ist htm. and her eyes like pools in her small white fac lost sorn* of their daze. "Dorothy s.iiil you would prob- ably sell \Vido Acres now." she told him. Mark started. "Sell Wide Acres?" The idea was purely fantastic. Valeria smiled a little. -She said you wouldn't want an enormous house all alone." "But I'm not alone while there's you. Besides, I built it when tbera wan nobody else here." "Dorothy said she and Paul could make room for me. She said no- body could expect you to to keep me now " "Let's get us some more fire," aid If ark. He leaned .forward, bringing Iw with him, and laid a log on the flames. He had entirely forgotten for tile moment what wa going oil lielow. ''My darling child, you're not a piece of fnrniture I luil sent home on approval. You see, the law gave you to me. Dor- othy can't take you away unless, of course, you want to go." He wan astonished that the tmouffht ot her leavim? filled him with atuMen fear. "I Forbid Her!" Valerie turned suddenly and clasped her thiu young arms as far ;i; vur.d him aa they would go. Aa lie had an ingrained distrust ot too many words, and no Intention of adding to the emotion which seemed to drench his house, he merely added his other arm to ti on 9 already around her; aud they sat and held each other tightly. "So that's settled," he said pres- ently. "If Dorothy says any more about it. just send her to me." Soft footsteps in the hall, and Dorothy's f.ic^ full of sorrow and authority at the door. Behind her Paul, her husband. "It was a lovely service," said Dorothy. Mark felt relief that she stated the fact, instead of asking him a question. "I know darling Ellen would be happy if she could know all Uio people who came to be with her. Or maybe she doea know " She drew a wts4> ot bUick-and- whit* chiffon from her sleeve. Her husband patted her arm consoling- ly. "There will be another brief service at the cemetery, ot course. Get your things ou, Valerie. It's timw to leave." "But surely a child " be-gan Mark. He found himself trembling curiously. So much so that it was hard to speak clearly. "I hope Valerie is old enough to show her devotion to her mother. It's the last thing she will ever he aibl* to do for her." Valerie began to cry softly, with little nervous sdbs. Mark clenched his lists, as it he could in tills way stop the ridiculous chattering of his teeth. Having inherited his nion.'y, and so being quite accns- tomt',1 to it. he wondered as he greater than YOURS ICO BO This woman has complete faith in Canada ... in ^^ the rightness of our cause . . . and the greatness of I^if^f^SSSIff^f^^ our future, once Victory is won.

"I forbid Valerie to go to the cemetery " he managed to say. As a mattw of fact, further rites tor Ellen proceeded without either of them, for after he had issued this command, he suddenly folded up on the rug before the fire lu the first faint of his life.
