CHAPTER XIII.

Anne went upstairs after supper
10 take off her dark dress and put on
her white one. Aunt Martha follow
ed her and sat on the n straight
chair that the afforded.
why're you so quiet?" she asked
after a moment spent in watching
Anne brush out her crinkling bronze
hair. Don't you want to go to the
band concert?"
If Aunt Martha only knew it,
Anne was disturbed at the sudden
interest both her father and aunt
were showing in her of late. They
never had before: never in all her
life had Aunt Martha come into
Anne's room to watch her dress, al
though she had. always scrutinized
Anne carefully when she was ready
for church on a Sunday. to see If by
any chance Anne had used powder
on her face, or II her hair were IN
decorous in any way.
Now Anne was not quiet because
her spirit was quelled, and quite
suddenly did something that was un-
expected. So. taking a box of pink
talcum powder from her bureau
drawer Anne applied 1t assiduously
to her face. 1t was all the powder
she had. Cherry used French pow
der that came in a fat box and was
perfumed heavily. 1t was not tall
cum, but was called face powder
and. when Cherry applied 1t, 1t COW
cred her face with q smooth, even
coating that was fascinating and did

excited. "T7l 90 down and you
hurry along now, Anne; don't keep
him waiting"
Anne stood a moment after Aun'
Martha had left her. Then she pul
on her hat, seized a wrap and weni
slowly downstairs.
In the ugly little hall Of the square
box of a living oom stood MIR. Sny-
der. He smiled and held u MS
hand to Anne and in the dim ign
he seemed somehow quite young. IL
was something to De privileged to go
somewhere with someone who was
near her W age. Anne had TO steal
the time she spent with Cherry and
this man was much younger than
her father or Aunt Martha. AFTER
ali. why shouldn't she take this little
Measure without looking ahead or
Worrying about the future?

mot come of readily. This talcum
was family scented and cost fifteen
cents a car. 1t was so light that it
only busted the shine OF the face
temporarily, but. naturally. Anne
had no money to pay for French
powder. 'Cherry's cost ninety cents
a box.
Aunt Martha regarded her stolidly
and said nothing. 1t made Anne
more certain than ever that she was
right in her suspicious and that
she had not misunderstood what she
had overheard before dinner.
Aunt Martha seemed to want to
say something without knowing
quite how to begin. IL would have
been SC different if at any time there
had been anything intimate between
Aunt Martha and Anne; if at my
time the older woman had tried to
win the confidence of the girl. But
she had always scorned Annes
mother and it had been her idea to
follow her brother in his attitude
toward Anne. to bend her to h
Carter will. to shape her life for her
and If there were protest to throttle
it out before it had a chance to as
sumo the larger properties for open
rebellion. Aunt Martha was certain

her fathers power, completely
cowed and and would give no more
trouble. In her opinion there would
be no trouble at all in marrying
Anne to Bill Snyder or in making
her realize the advantages of it. And
certainly Bill Snyder would make an
ideal husband. He was the right
age and had a tidy pile of money
salted away.
Eyes. 1 want to go to the band
concert" Anne returned, putting up
her hair and turning partly around
to look at her aunt, but / don't
know that 1 want to go with Mr..
Snyder. Why, 1 hardly know him."
she added hastily.
That's all right. Your father
knows him and you'll get to know
him once you've gone out with him.
He's quite a catch. Anne. You may
be proud that he has taken the trou-
BILE to ask you to go with him."
There was the sound of a whir-
ring motor outside and Aunt Mar
tina, crossing to the window, peered
through the states of the shutters.
There he is now" she said, almost
