at home to celebrate her coming.
When the Crest Croft was reached
she made an excuse to get to her
room quickly, and once there she sent
her apologies to her hostess for the
remainder OF the evening. Her trip
had brought on nervous headache.
Through all her triumphs abroad,
where her father was serving in the
diplomatic corps, she had remained
true to the memory Of Billy Preston.
She had looked forward to this meet
ing, and the first invitation she had
accepted on her return had been to
Crest Croft, the country home Of the
Prestons.
She realized that 1t was absurd to
expect that Preston through these
ten years had carried the memory OF
his chfld-chum, as she had treasured
his. But she resented bitterly the.
transformation Of Billy Preston into
William and all the change implied.

She felt strangely embarrassed in
the presence OF this sadly altered
playfellow. She had been looking
forward to a visit with Billy and
II was shock to realize that her old

His face had changed for the bet

the car sped over the smooth roads
Mrs Preston kept the conversation
moving and seemed not to notice the
constraint.
Il suppose you are glad to be home
after your ten years in Europe" she
ratified on, and was shocked when
Cora shook her head.
II feel as Ii l was coming back
from the dead" explained the girl.
When at last father decided to re-
turn to the states I was like a child
starting for her first circus. It
seemed so good to be going back
home after a 10-year exile, but alas,
there was no home to come to, Long
ago our house had been torn down
and white marble building now
covers the whole block. 1t Is all so
changed that it seems like strange
land, and the people are changed.

Time passed. and Frank was still
detained at the office. Bettina, how
ever, no longer ventured to earn his
displeasure by sitting up until his re-
turn. Just how many seconds before
his return she had been asleep was
entirely her own concern.
One morning as he hurried
