tits just to say good-by," said
Tommy.
"Oh," replied June, not greatly in
teTest, when are you gOing?"
This Wednesday. I'm going to
stop at BaFchester. to see my uncle
on the way. After that haven't yet
decided, Perhaps across the pond to
England, perhaps to California. You
know l wouldn't go if you said So"
Now Tommy, that's settled. Don't
let's talk about it, please"
There was such ring Of finality
about it that Tommy was silent.
But" added June, come to think
of it, have to go to BarehesteF to do
some shopping. I may be taking
your train and can bear you company
on the beginning of your journey, at
least,
"Oh, thatn be fner' cried Tommy
Frightening.
So it was arranged they should
meet at the train.
June said nothing to any one about
her intended trip, but carefully
packed a suitcase, put her desk and
belongings in order, the only thing
suggesting a, hasty departure being
Mrs. Cliffe's note of invitation left ly-
ing open on her desk. She slid I'M
observed out of the house, keeping
the suitcase on the side away from
the window, and met Tommy at the
station. She took pains to speak to
the station master at the little office, 2
who knew her, and who eyed, rather
curiously, the combination of young
Thurston, Miss Barry and the lug
gage
Arriving at Barehester, Thurston
insisted on seeing her to the hotel
where she said she was going. Then
he registered and informed her he in

"Thank yOu," said June with cut
ting pOEteness. IT'S very kind Of
you" And with great dignity she
took herself out of the room.
June had not quite known what
Billy meant to her until one day
something happened. She heard that
he was calling very often on Mrs.
Cliffe, the young, fascinating widow
who had lately come to town, and
taken a pretty apartment near by.
Then she saw him walking with Mrs.
Cliffe, and the quick, hard tug at her
heart told her she was jealous. Then
she knew. Upon this came the sud
den impulse to find out if he cared
for her except as just one of the
family;
About two weeks after this episode
June met Mrs. Cliffe at a friends
home and was cordially invited to
come and see her. Not at once tax
ing advantage of the invitation, she
one day received a pleasant little
note from Mrs, Cliffe asking her to
come to tea. June said nothing to
Billy, but she wondered and went.
She thought it might be a case of
spying out the situation and "sizing
her up" and she found she was not
far in the wrong,
The widow certainly was fascinat-
ing and a very formidable rival, ex-
cept perhaps in the matter of youth.
The widow saw this advantage with
something like a paag. She also had
to acknowledge that June was very
pretty. She set to work to IMPRESS
upon June that her engagement to
Billy being understood, she wanted
her, as one of the family, to like her
and be glad to welcome her as one
of them. June tried to assume a
cheerful, even cordial acquiescence,
but her astute hostess detected
something under the mask that
warmed her to he atFifIe wary in the
