There was a droop in the girls

talking laughed loudly.

Miss Taylor.
Why. I've done it hundreds of times
before. You can see the fireworks
at South-end Beach, have nice little
oyster supper afterwards, and still
easily catch the eleventhirty boat

cts quite long trolley ride from
the Beach to the dock, isn't it,"
Eyes, but We'll allow for that. My!
but you take the cake for worrying
over trifies! This is the first time
ever knew young lady so much
afraid Of accepting An invitation from
me. After all, it wouldn't be any
thing so terrible If we did miss the
last boat. It's quite possible to come
home by trolley all the way from
South-end Beach, you know, though
| it's more roundabout, and takes a
good deal longer. We might be rath-
er late, but what difference would it
make? You and I are both alone in
the city. There's nobody who really
/ cares what we do, is there?"
The pale girl trembled as if he had

terrible truth. For a moment she
