She regarded him demurely through
half-closed limpid eyes.
Some people I know wouldn't be

Aurelie was plainly playing with
poor Mr.. Cnrran. He felt it and was
enraged. IF you weren't so grown up,
I'd spank you. You-a young LADY,"
I'm not. Ask Harlan's mother or
some of the Shakespeare club. I'm

Mr.. Curran sat despairingly down.
Never to him had she been so beauti-

Unite with possibilities, so gay with
blithe courage. Love Harlan? Surely
not! This was life she was loving
smiles and tears and triumphs-she
enraptured with 1t all, and she
was unfolding splendidly. dangerously,
out of the hard and meager years she
had served.

I'm afraid not, Aurelie."
She came with laughter to him-and
Kissed him. Nobody can see US!
What's the use of hating anybody? Or
being sorry? Or pining because they

and be fine with every one! I'm try

I amt too sleepy. And I'm collecting
Madonna heads. and I give dimes to
all the beggars. Ada says it's silly
people. but I tell her it's religious!"
Somehow" he muttered. Il have to
forgive you. Do you know you are
living, Aurelie, every day? That's
what 1t means-to be gay and happy

about other things" He took her

It's better to travel thar to arrive, as
