had found a picture of Ned among

her important message: Sc:

~ like magic and closed behind

the man, hurrying up the steps, sud.
denly paused. With smile he drew
from his pocket tiny gold watch and
opened it. Inside the lid was the pic
ture of beautiful young girl with
handsome collie. The black Vandyked
man gazed at the picture for mo.
ment in frowning meditation. It was
the runaway bride.

June Warner turned out of it at Sew

At that hour Iris Blethering sat pour

announce any one, however. Instead
the caller rushed straight in and threw
herself into the arms of Iris.
"June!"
Bobbie Blethering stood by and watch

went to the door and looked out.

Moore and Ned.
Poor June! 1t had been hard for her
to leave those beloved voices down
there in the library, but she had made
up her mind very firmly that neither
she nor Ned could be happy If she was
always to feel that she was a chattel.
She ran back to the desk for Ned's
photograph. then stepped lightly out
on the tiny side porch. jumped down to
the little embankment and fed, as
light as thistledown. along the side of
the house and out at the little grocer's
gate.
Where now should she go? The
apartments. their home, hers and
Ned's! She hurried up in that direc-
ton. but at the first corner she stopped
for an instant and darted over toward
Broadway. She had realized three
things almost simultaneously - first.
that they might come out of the Bleth-
ering house at any instant and see her:
second. that she had no key and, third,
that Ned might come there. 1t would
be the most likely place for him to 60
in his loneliness.
In fond memory. stopping at the
hrst dark corner. she went over each
