here, / tell you. Gus Baker was the
one he chased most, but Gus can keep
him guessin. He amt the only one
that's been runnin' after her-hey,
Snup?" Then the whole row laughed
uproariously.
Bradley somehow didn't enjoy the
rest of the conversation. In the frs;
place, he didn't relish the idea, 50 sud
denly brought home to him, that EEL
lerS' were running after Gus, and par
ticularly he didn't care to have Sam
Hammond among the runners. lie had
met Sam once or twice in New York.
\ big chap he was, handsome and well
dressed in a rather loud fashion and
with a boastful knowledge of life about
/ town. Bradley was not prig, but va
looms and after theater suppers had lit
tie attraction for him, even if his sal
airy had been large enough to pay the
bills. He had wondered idly how sam
could afford the fun he was always
describing.
The melodeon in the vestry struck
up God Be With You Till We Meet
Again." and the loungers on the fence
began to move over toward the door
He went with them, standing a little
way back from the entrance. The final
verse of the hymn died away in deaf
Mrs. Piper's tremulous falsettO. Then
there was a hush as the benediction
was pronounced, the door swung open,
and, with giGgles and a rustic of con
versation, the worshipers began t0I
emerge.

That's what you came here for, isn't

Bradley laughed and admitted that
he guessed that was about it. Gus
took his arm, and they moved down
the path and down the rough stone
steps to the sidewalk,
why, | haven't seen you for in
age!" said Gus. "And you haven't
written for nearly three weeks. Why
did you come home now? You didn't
expect to come home so soon, did

Bradley explained why he had come
home. Captain Titcomb had left the
Thomas Doane, he said, and ne had
left with him He didn't tell the real
reason for the leaving, but limited at
dissatisfaction with the owners. To
head off further questions on this tic
klish subject he asked Gus what she
had been doing that winter.

high school. for one thing, and I'm
keeping house for grandma. | guess

much fun. Most of the floor commit
tee were old, married people and about
every other dance was 'Hulrs Victory

"You wrote me you went to that.

him. He's a lovely dancer ANGER, ana ,, we
