visitors were agreeable once, and,

His speech was disjointed and

upon the girl standing thunder

Olive forged on into the house with
gloomy eye; she hated to sell pic
lures. even when she needed the
money. April and Sarle were left
together. and in a moment he was
down the steps by her side. They
stood looking at each other. with
the memory Of their last kiss kim

bitterly hurt, but he loved and
trusted her beyond all things that

happiness in his eyes. But for the
open studio, windows and tho
round-eyed piccaninnies he would
have gathered her to his heart;
as 1t. was, he gathered her hand
instead, and held them close.

Kenna had not betrayed her,

She managed to smile a little, but

was something in her silence chilli

So when l got to the office and
found that Jim was deep in coz
ference with Lane Cosby and SOM
oil men from the Mexican border, ]
didn't feel effronted - might oncc
husbands outer office.
After q few minutes Lane Cosy
came out to me. Heartily he held
out his big brown hand. and kind
ness brcathed through every word
he said In his big gruff voice:
"Hul-lo, littio 'un. Jimmie's I'm

He beamed at me with q blunderf-
ing. protecting sort OF affection. 7
wondered how anyone who had ever
seen Lane Cosby could suspect him
of deliberate evil, or believe he'd let
anyone no had ever cared for suf-
fer. In this minute j knew that
whatever part OF Evvy's story
about the cosys was tYue--and
somehow couldn't entirely dis
credit it--this at least was certain:
