would rather accept n thing like that
from Geraldine who loved her, than
from this man who had disapproved OF
her from birth.
"I know what you're thinking" her
father went on. You think your fancy
friends will come to your help Well
they won't. don't worry. They don't
want to get mixed UP in anything like
this. II was q novelty for the wealthy
Mrs. Carpenter TO take a little nobody
like you and dress you up like puppet
for her own amusement and while II
lasted I've no doubt that she had many
good laugh. But It's all over and done
with now"
Anne lowered her head quickly to
hide the tears that sprang to her eyes.
II this were true. and she had to begin
all over again after the beautiful inter-
lude with Geraldine, II her days were
to once more become gray with the
hours dragging by on leaden feet, then
she would, Just as soon die.

hurt you to wear your own clothes for

He marched Anne upstairs and stood
at the door as sho entered the room. A
moment later she was alone again, the
key turned In the lock and she was
listening to her father go downstairs.
moment later she heard him open the
outer door and walk down the street.
J Anne's room was a queer shape. II
had window on the street and a win
dow at the side of the house. She
walked over to this window now and
looked down. within a few feet of her
was the wall of the next house, but
there was nothing outside of her window
by which she could climb to the ground
even though she knew that 1t was un
likely that the Jordans would see her.
Mrs. Jordan was bed-ridden and stayed
In her room most of the day.
Anne thought desperately. II only
this room were over the porch as her
fathers was, It would be an easy mat
ter to escape. but here she was appar-
mercy. And 1t would go on like this
indefinitely unless something unexpected
happened. Her fathers words concern
ing Geraldine returned to make Anne
still more unhappy. Was It true. and
did Geraldine care for her only as an
experiment? Could life be as cruel as
that?
