for a little while1"
Mrs Walden was powerless. She had
wanted Ruth to stay on. But she had her
cue from her own daughter. After all it
was she who would have to sweep the
older gossips "off their ears"
Ruth may have dressed to impress the
crowd at the club but it all went to
| Jacks head and he broke out in intense

Mine, too That's how. Ruth,
dear, haven't you noticed how many
things we have in common? Love Of fast
ears, speed. excitement-even to roses

They were beautiful. How did you
know my favorites?"
He edged over under the wheel nearer
her. Ruth smiled Mt him Suddenly he

They were Just about leaving Mer-
rihews, when the faithful Mckay, who
had been watching the departure
vigilantly from the parking space at the
club, tapped lightly on the door Of
Dicks boathouse workshop.

wondering where lay his interest-in
mother or daughter?
1T beats the devil Guy found him

scientists can be so clever and deep N
their own felds-and such children when
Il comes to affairs II life and the heart"
Dick saw nothing His Vision was
eclipsed by one thought. Ruth was

woman's heart, then
"What do you mean? ?" snapped Dick,
