Of the firm, and returned pushing the
case toward her.
Couldn't allow YOU more than 20
cents on that, he said. and when Kate
locked back at him for confirmation
he Was again absorbed In his newe-
paper.
Kate seized the case and hurried
from the shop, her face glowing with
indignation and shame. and with dis
appointment. The thought that a val
usd heirloom should be appraised at
20 cents filed her with indignation
that added bitterness to her shame.
She had 90 cents In her purse. She
would therefore. get a ticket In the
direction of home as far as that
would take her. She would ride I'M

then send the extra fare to the rail
road company when she got home.
She would walk the rest OF the
way home-anything rather than stay
with her aunts, away from her home.
away from Nsvin. another day.
What If her aunts saw her as che
camo out? Self-respecting people
would never dream of going into 0
place like that, thought Kate. But
then, self-respecting girls didn't fall
in love til they were engaged, and
she was In love-absurdedly in love
with Harold Neyin. She looked up
and down the street and saN only the
figure OF a man a half a block away.
who apparently saw her. What sort
OF woman would he think she was II

Then. a. sic hurried w ard the

station, she realized that he had
crossed the street and was gaining on
her. Her blood went cold as she real
lzed that he was following her. What
could he want.
Kate did the only thing she could
think OF. She ran. Then tho man ran
and Kate ran faster. She reached the
station and hurried to the ticket Of
fee. Her pursuer followed her, but
Kate felt the safety Of the lights and
took courage.
She drew her ~half-dollar from her
purse and pushed 1t toward the ticket
seller. Give me a ticket for as far
as this"
She stopped and looked for the first
time over her shoulder at the man
who had followed her. II was Harold
Ney.n. Almost without a word he
drew her aside from the ticket office
and Kate was too overcome to ex-
plain.
Il have just been &c your aunt's and
they said you had gene away for sup
per. They said they did not want you
10 see me. and so | decided | had made
my trip In vain. II Is your birthday.
Kate" Harold went on. "and | couldn't
let It go by without seeing you"
Kate and Harold decided, after Kate
had explained her crazy plan, to g.
turn TO the auntB' house and keen the
little secret about her attempted run
away.
They walked home slowly through
the twilight s%ircets. end Harold told
Kate 1at be wanted 10 marry her
that he mover realized til She was

that when she was q she would walk
home. If necessary. She was willing
to do almost anything to get away
from the discouraging narrow-mind-
nesses OF her well-meaning aunts.
At 5, o'clock on this Fall afternoon
she left her aunts' house, saying that
she was going to have supper with a
peigbor in Rosley.
But Kete's real plan was otherwise.
She had taken in her hand bag the
small velvet case which contained the
old cameo pin given to her az a birth
day present that very morning BY her
well-meanlng aunts.
1t was once the property az her
grandmother, and was much priced
BY the aunts in Rosley. Kate turned
pale as she thought Of the length 10
which she had been driven.
She was going TO take this priced
piece Of jewelry to the pawnshop and
thereby raise enough money to bur
her ticket back, home. to telegraph to
her aunts TO let them know she was
safe. and provide for the other incl
dentals Of her trip.
She would, meantime, arrange with
the pawnbroker to let her redeem the
cameo unframed within a few days,
for once she was home again and could
explain TO her mother how unbearable
had been her exile to Rosley, tle was
sure she would have no difficulty in
securing the money nesded and to re-
ceive 2 full pardon.
Anyway. thought Kate. even II they
chose not TO forgive her, she was 81
and had a right TO act for herself. AT
the worst, it wasn't dishonest to pawn
