Chapter As.
A NEW IDEA.

Several times she felt Tins eyes
on her, but she would not look. She
knew he was amazed at the change
in her appearance. and she gloried in
the fact that he was honestly admiring
her.
She wondered whether she might
get him back. if she could stay on
here, if she could see him often! Per
haps his love for Myra was only tenn
porary, only because of his lonliness
away from home, only because Myra
was the one friend in all this city Of
strangers. A love based upon propin-
guilty upon nearness, could not be
real And he had loved her really,
when they were at home together!
But this idea she deliberately kept
from her mind, though it haunted her
for days. Tim was not over his love
for her yet-she was so sure she could
win it all back-if she could stay.
But first Of all, she could not stay
There was only money enough for a
week, then she must go back. Besides
that, her family needed her at home
at least, her father did. And If she
stayed, it would only be because she
had found work-and how poorly paid
unframed work would be! She would
have to go about in shabby shoes and
cheap clothes and live in tiny in
convenient place. Would there be any
superior attraction in that, to Myrs
with her glittering gowns, her city
manner, her singing lessons?
This evening, it was hard not tc
