was leaving town. Yet she did not al

at her door.

Mary knew at once by intuition who
the speaker at the other end Of the wire

was Gordon Craig, and he wanted to
know II he might not run up this even
ing just-"to tell you all good bye" as
he said

Her words sounded cold and abrupt

CHAPTER ".

TINE morning following Gordon
Craig's call Mary awoke with a
pleasant sense Of anticipation.
For a moment she gazed about her
sunny room trying to think what agree
able thing was ahead of her. She re
memberad only too well the work she
had laid out for herself to accomplish
within the next few days, but that
was certainly not what gave her a SEN
satlon Of joy.
Suddenly she recalled last evening s
! experiences and the promise that she
made to 20 to the theater with Craig
when he should return from Boston.
/ She felt again the pressure Of his hand
as he babe her good night. The world
seemed a brighter place for the mem
I DRY. She appreciated that here in this
: busy city, the Texan was still SO near
that she might summon him by tele-
phone That seemed a pleasant fact.
; too
These thoughts occupied her mind
as she dressed. When She was putting
I the last touches to her toilet, she met
her own gaze in her mirror and was
amazed at the happy, TRANSPORTED ex-
, preston on her reflected face. She
brought herself up sharply with a feel
ing almost like fear Here she was
on the verge Of making a fool Of herself
about a fellow whom she knew but
slightly letting her thoughts dwell on
/ him as if he were the only man in the
world!
"Stin, he is an unusually nice chap,
she acknowledged. The admission
soothed somewhat her wounded dignity
for she felt that she had fallen beneath
her usual standard of wisdom in blush
ing and looking happy over the pos
sibility of spending another evening in
this Westerner's company.
He probably talks to all girls just
as he talked to me, and looks a then
all in that way, too she unused. 81
have heard that Westerners and South
erners have a way of saying pretty
nothings that make fools of women ant
they forget as soon as they are spoken
Well, heres one girl who is not goinl
to be silly over any man until she
: knows that he loves her better than ht
loves anything else on earth. And I'm
going to stop thinking of him"
with which laudable determination
she Joined her family at the breakfas
table
The best way to Danish a subjec
from ones mind is to place another il
it's place. Mary recognized this fac
and applied herself to her work with
zeal and zest that precluded othel
considerations. Her mother remarked
this with gentle protest on a morning
late in the week as Mary was starting
for school
Dear child she said, you are look
ing worn out Must you study 81
hard?"
Commencement Day is not many
weeks off" Mary reminded her, and
must make the raost Of my time. DON

kiss the anxious face, for work is gooC

she added, merrily.
But young people need diversion

Office yesterday and sent his kind re.
