That additional something is Pontiac’s famous

to Teresa and goes to the little
upstate town to await develop
ments. A sun-browned country
girl with pigtals comes out of the
postoffice with the envelope under
her arm. Jean follows her and
eventually arrives at a group of
buildings, apparently some sort of
institution. The- girl goes to a
terrace where a man is sleeping
in a wheel chair. Jean touches the
[lri'l nhoulder. an:l l:;t “Teresa?”
Chapter VII .
The girl, startled at the flaw=~
less loveliness smiling down at her
in the sun-dappled shade, stared.
They made a contrast, elemental
and arresting —the dark, sun
browned informal country girl in
the red scarf and blue jeans, and
the sophisticated and elegant
model, impeccable to the last
strand of hair.
“You're not Teresa, are You?”
Jean Roland was completely at
ease.
Th young girl, troubld,
searched Jean’s face. “You were
parked outside of the postoffice a
little while ago, werén’'t you?”
“Um-hntm,” Jean smiled. “I
was waiting for you.” Then, Jean
went on, being as casual and
friendly as she could. “I'm very
anxious to talk to Teresa. It's ex
tremely important. I hope you can
help me find her.”
Now hostility, naive, unmistk
able, flashed across the young
ster’s face, “I don’t know anybody
named Teresa.” ¢
“But isn’t that Teresa’s name on
that envelope you have?” Jean
wag easy, friendly as before.
The girl glanced quickly down
at th yellow envelope she held in
her hand. A flustered, guilty look
came over her young face.
There was something enormous
ly innocent about her as she ans
wered definantly, ‘“People can
make up names if the yant to,
can’t they?”
Jean was amused. “Of course
they can, of course,” she replied
tolerantly, as if speaking to some
one immensely younger and in
ferior. “I'm sure making up names
can be quite an exciting game.
Let me in on the secret, won’t
you?” : :
The girl-sensed Jean’s attitude,
resented it. She tossed her head,
shaking her pigtails, turned ab
ruptly and started back toward
the building, leaving Jean stand
ing under the trees.: ;
“Midge!” A man’s voice called
out. “Midge!” “
* * *
Jean turned at the sound of the
voice and -saw that the man in
the wheel chair, just awakened,
was calling after the girl. The
girl heard the voice, glanced back,
but did not stop. Rather it seemed
to Jean, she increased her speed.
In a moment, she had disappear
ed.
Jean left the shade and went
through the sunlight toward the
chair. The man in the chair, she
could see, was about 26. A tousle
of black hair accentuated the
white thinness of his face.
He watched her, his puzzled
eyes seeking to penetrate the mys
tery of the flawlessly attired,
beautiful stranger who walked so
easily and gracefully toward him.
The man in the wheel chair
didn’t speak. He just kept looking
at Jean, as if he were not fully

awake. .
“I'm terribly sorry,” she said as
she came to the chair. “I'm afraid
I woke you up.”
With difficulty, he raised him
self up in his chair and, grinning
a little as he looked at her, said,
“Im not so sure I'm awake.”
“Neither am 1.” She laughed
softly. “I have only a vague idea
where I am.” :
He pointed to a sign off on the
roadway.
“Summit Veteran’s Hospital,”
she read.
His eyes twinkled. “Sometimes
known as the Hotel of Forgotten
Men. Are you looking for some
body?”
“Uh-huh. Madly.”
“It could be me, couldn’t it?”
His grin appeared again.
“I'm afraid not.” Then she said.
“This little girl I was just talking
to—you know her, don’t you? I
heard you call her something or
other—"
“Midge.”
“She’s cute.” Jean looked im
patiently toward the hospital
“Does she live near here?”
“About a mile or so farther out
on the highway. Her father has a
farm.”
* * *
Jean looked off toward the hos
pital again. “Would you mind
telling me her name?”
If this girl Mitdge were Teresa,
Jean ‘wanted to know so she would
not waste further time. Even now,
the object of her hunt might be
speeding :_aw:}y_ix.l the t_ruck.
“Darned if I know her name.
Everybody calls her Midge. She's
been running around here for the
last four of five years. When she
first came she was about 12, 1
imagine, and about that high.” He
held a hand out level to indicate
about four feet in height. “Some
body called her Midge then, and
everybody’s been calling her
Midge ever since. They’ll know
her name up at the office.” He
studied her face. “Is it Midge you
came out here to see?”
“Yes — and no.” She smiled
down at him. “I'm playing the
detective.”
“Lucky criminal. Can I help?”
She told him of the gown shop
and Teresa, of the yellow en
velope, of following the girl out
to the hospital.
“I can’t understand why she ran
away,” she said, as she finished.
“T can. She was being patriotic.”
“Being patriotic?” Jean flashed
him a sharp look, searching to see
if his mind were gone as well as
his body.
“She was keeping a military
secret.”” He was very casual. “I'm
Teresa.”
