attractive man on board? And, any

and threw himself down beside her
and said: ''She isn't as nice as she
looks, Dorothy. She's silly" Doro-
thy felt her spirits go up, and she
talked more brightly and entertain
ingly than she ever had before, and
for the rest of the voyage Henry was
a constant companion.
And so the time passed and the last
day came. They steamed along in

in the afternoon entered the harbor.
Dorothy told herself that here at
last was America the land she had
hungry for and felt no answering throb

: she's an American of course-and some
= way, l don't know how it happened,
but L got to care more than L ever
T thought could for any one."
Harry's eyes were still on the water
:, and he did not see the color fade from
the pretty face so near him.
81 told her about the first girl when

instead of going away, L staid until
