There Is a very special reason
why want my house painted then,
said LINDA.
A few minutes later, the further
details OF the bargain having been
settled, Linda went into the house so
elated with the turn affairs had taken
that she was eager to make any sac
rffice the situation might demand.
The next week Mr.. Ludlow began
to paint the house. Linda, who was
too excited to stay quietly in the
house while such momentous event
twas going on outside, worked in her
blower beds most Of the time.
To her great delight, Mr.. Ludlow
proved to be an adept at flower rails
! ing, and many were the discussions
the two held on the subject. The
painting was somewhat retarded by
these interviews, Of course, but
neither of them seemed to mind that.
Friday afternoon Linda was in the
kitchen making biscuit for her sup
per. Just as she finished knock
sounded at the door. Mr.. Ludlow
stood there. "The painting is all
done now, Miss Anthony" he said.

sigh Of content: "it looks just per-
feet, but 1t seems too good to be true
that It's my house that's painted like
this"
Mr.. Ludlow smiled sympathetical-
ly at her. ''I'm glad you are salts
fed with the job. I like to work for
folk that appreciate what do
"Mr. Ludlow" said Linda, seeing
/ that 1t is the last time you will be
here, won't you come in and have tea
with me? I've just been making some
warm biscuit for supper. and I'd like
to have you try them"
| "But, Miss Anthony, rye got my
old paint clothes on! I'd like to ever
SO much, If it wasn't for that"
Newer mind about that" SAID
| Linda as she led the way into the
house. I'm SO used to seeing you In
your paint clothes that you wouldn't
look natural to me in any others"
Just before Mr.. Ludlow went away
that evening Linda offered him the
$15: but he waived 1t aside with the
remark: you d. better wait awhile
before you pay me, Miss Anthony.

20, no, Of course not: but it's al

answered Mr.. Ludlow.
Linda's triumph over Mrs. Grimes
fcame the next morning. It was time
tor another yeast call. so Linda went
out into the. yard, and though osten-
sibiy she was industriously wedding
her flower beds, she kept one eye out
for her expected visitor.

continued: "And I'll have to get the

Linda's heart gave a great throb.
There was no question of stopping.
