The Daily Short Story

Roger would bind Linda to a prom
Use before he went away, and Linda
secretly feared that he wouldn't.
Linda was completely carried away
by the stranger, his charm of man
ner. his east, graceful carriage,
and many time did she contrast
him with David, to David's detri-
ment.
A month wore away-sfx weeks
and still Roger said nothing of
leaving. Mrs. Craig was growing
frankly nervous. David came al
most daily, but it was only on rare
occasions that he saw Linda.
I'm sorry, David. Linda is GER
tainly infatuated, but l do truly be-
lieve it is only infatuation. Just
stand by; 1 am sure it will come
out all right Many's the time I've
wished that rooster dead for crow
ing company to our house the day
that Roger Colherst came"
David laughed. but his heart was
heavy, for his dream was gone, 1t
was only in the sunshine of Mrs,
Craig's smile that he found a ray
OF comfort and encouragement. She
had told him to stand by, and stand
by he would. ~
Then one day the entire country
side became agitated over the news
that bank clerk who had abscond-
ed with thousands of dollars, had
been traced to this state. The day
the news reached Baynesville Roger
Coiherst was greatly interestd, and
almost enthusiastic about aiding in
the search for the fugitive.

where. Then when she's in shape,

No one but David noticed that
when Roger came downstairs he
carried his bag. Instantly a vague
suspicion which he had harSored
became crystalized.
"Oh. say, Colherst, would you
mind running me over to Clayton
You can attend to your business
while l am attending to mine"
Only for an instant did Roger
hesitate. Then, :"Sure thing, Gran.
