 just sme.hered her with Kindness. Why, 50 you have" l said in sweet. soft voice. How ridiculous of me. He was one of tue Scottish chiefs who went with King James when he pro ceeded to London 10 assume the SOW ereigufy of England. Now you re member. dont you?'- "l think do" said Kate as if she were trying to recall something. There was s perceptible broadening of the smile on Roscoe's lips. We've had eaough of history" he said. Let's talk tennis awhile. l bought me a new racket before leaving the city. It's dandy"
 Kate rose and. taking her work with Der. went into the house Maybe didn't feel pretty good knew what shed do. Shed ransack every book in the house trying to find out who Graz more was. All feared was that she would find somebody of that name | A.,st I'd the Cfagmore l meant.
 However. I'd only half won the bat tle. But 1t was the biggest half If | could pull my rival ont of the fight on her favorite ground. learning. thought l could snare Roscoe. Pm not one of those girls to quarrel with rival. When a man sees two girls fighting over him he gets dissusied with both There's where l got ahead of Kate. She showed that she was miffed be- cause knew who CragmeFe was and she didn't. think l played that very foxy
 "Iulu." said Roscoe when she had gone, yon should be ashamed of your self" He gave me an amused and pleasant look that showed he wasn't ashamed of me
 Why sa:'. asked
 You dent know any more about his tory than d newly matched chicken l was ready for him I'd been prac- tieing looking hurt before mirror and l iatIer myself Id got il down 10 Il fine point l made him think was going to burst into tears. pre- tended to try te say something. but couldn't. was SD heartbro6en.
 Why. Lulu. Don't take fellow seriously
 You are very unkind." moaned
 "Unkind? Why so?''
 You who know 50 much to snub a poor ignorant g-g-girl''- l could go no further for rising tears.

 Because I've not been to college as you and Kate have you do nothing but try to put ne down"
 .'l try 10 put you dowu?"
 Yes. | simply tried toitake part in some of your and kate's conversations that I'm constantly left out of and you combine to -snub me.
 He rested his head on the hammock back of me. I didn't propose that 1t should remain there. so l turned away from him. pun my handkerchief to my face and was shaken by s0bs.
 That did it. He put his arm around my waist.
 Before I let him go l had him kiss ing my tears away q was awfully afraid he'd notice there weren't any tears,. and if ii hadn't been for Kate coming back .,sfenSiby for book shed left l would have had if ali my own way and settled You should have seen her when she saw Roscoe sitting by ne ill the hammock.
 Excuse me sue said: 'I didn't mean to intrude. presume Lulu is whispering in your ear who this Graz more was.
 Roscoe looked at her sort of angry. I wished shed say something more That was tdisagreeable. l would have ecged her on to do ~e. but that would have given me away also. So held fy peace. and when sbe had gone into the house I said softly:
 You mustn't mind what girl says when she K angry. Kate is lovely. I wish was AS good as sise Is"
 And knew as much. She's always bool1y
 The bell rang for lnnch. and. knowing that he wasn't in q mood 10 go any further linen. put matters on Tor more convenient season felt pretty sure that since l had induced him L. nut his arm around my waist and kiss away tears that wouldn't flow Id be smart enough fo do rhe rest of q.
 This is the way I managed s. l didn't acf at all as if there was noth. ing between us. On che contrary. assumed that there was a great deal between us. prefended to be enl. harrassed whenever we met. cast dow1 my eyes. started whenever he spoke to me and acted always as though the slightest harsh word from him would throw me into convulsive sobbing.
