voice, ''at 9:45?"
And just then the electric bell buzzed
Joyfully. Enter upon the scene Dick
Sanderson and at his heels Hal Darn

Thought I'd give the crush a chance
to subside," exclaimed Dick as Judith
came forward, and then at sight Of her
face his tongue failed him, and he
reached forth his hand impulsively.
She gave it a trembling clasp, then
went on to greet Darnton.
No one could tell afterward just how
1t did happen, but Hal Darnton GER

Dick said.
"Oh, my dear Miss Brainard," he ex-
claimed between gales of laughter,

And no one knew just why, but Ju-

Hal Darnton did not laugh this time.
How often had he watched the strug-
gle of other Judiths! But Dick Sander
son sprang to his feet and remarked
with decision: This is where we make
a noise like success. Judith. I'm going
out into the hall and give that bell an
other ring Mrs. Drake will hear that,

and-well, l know that Darnton here
will like your brand of lemonade"
The audacity of the plan swept all
objections aside Sometimes Sander

There was a whispered conversation
and very soon Dick saw her hand on
something on a tray. She came baci
with eyes shining.
1T was Mrs. Drake. She said SHE
