Suddenly the man glanced at a snap
shot Elfreda was showing him and
his face grew a shade pale.
Isn't she lovely?" questioned FL
freda. "She is the most beautiful girl
1 know, and 1 have taken at least a
dozen snaps of her.
Vane was startled at the unexpected
likeness to Sally Drew.
Where did you take this?' ques-
toned Vane with an interest so deep
that Elfreda answered quickly:
Down at Asbury. Sally Drew was
one of our crowd. She came back to
town when 1 did. 1 am going to see
her Sunday" she added while her
own heart sank. That Vane was in
love with Sally was all too evident.

81 am sure l could arrange for you
to see her." Elfreda told him with her
rarely beautiful smile coming bravely
forward.
will you?" he asked eagerly, and
unconsciously put his hand over the
slim fingers on the counter.
"That's easV" laughed Elfreda and
added lightly, 81 always thought Sally
had a secret love affair" She took
the most lovely likeness of Sally from
her packet OF photographs and gave
it to Vane. "There-you may have
that. 1t really is quite romantic,
isn't it?"
More than romantic!" exclaimed
Vane. 1T is humorous. l have con-
sidered myself in love with Sally for
some two years and now, when l have
the opportunity of seeing her, | have
not the slightest desire" He contin-
ued to search Elfreda's face with his
keen glance. "You will not be offend

you? 1t was good of you to"

Elfreda in her frank manner. why

She smiled then, and Vanes hand
again covered her slim fingers as they
lay on the counter. He loved the girl
and his hand told her so.

fortnight away from the ribbon coun-

When she returned to her small
room in town she had, therefore t.
await few weeks until her savings
permitted her the extravaganza of
having her films developed and
printed Elfreda chafed at the delay,
but that state did not raise her salary
nor give her more pin money. She
did, however, curtail her luncheon or
ders and by the end of three weeks
she found enough in her small iron
bank to pay for the developing of at
least one roll of films.
Elfreda was delighted on her way
home from the photographers that
she had stepped into this particular
kodak shop. for most engaging young
man had served her from behind the
counter.
MY pictures have never been so
perfect" she told the good-looking
young man. There is not failure
among them"
Your grouping is very artistic. I"
said Derrick Vane, and thought it 8
pity that Elfreda might not use her
self as model.
1t was three weeks before Elfreda
again made her way to the photog-
rapher's. The riot Of freckles was BE-
ginning to fade away and Derrick
Vane more or less regretted their de-
parture.

she told him as she handed her roll
Of films over the counter. Il want

They chatted a moment and Elfreda
made her way to the department store
