Hearts Of Two
CHAPTER "a
sy VIRGINIA TERHuNE VAN De YATES


The ordeal was over. Marian had
told her sister of her arrangement with
DeLisle.
OF course Lois had protested at first
although less strenuously than the
younger girl had feared. One remark
of Marians had started trend Of
thought that tempered Lois judgment.
II am sorry" Marian had observed,
"that my job will leave you by your
self every evening-except Sunday. But Z
there is no reason why you should not
get some friend to come in often. Any
of the young people in the church will
be glad to call-for you are popular
with them"
Lois face lighted. There flashed
into her mind the thought that her
sisters absence from home every night
would make it possible for her to re-
ceive frequent calls from her pastor
without the inconvenient presence of
third person. Already Lois was de-
Gliding to tell Mr.. Sumner that she
would have to be alone a great deal
in the evenings and hoped her friends
would take pity on her and drop in to
cheer her bit. She would say to him:
"It is hard to fight off the blues all
alone in this changed home with dear
father so ill upstairs" and the minister
would probably say: Poor child II
wish I could help you just as he
had said to her several times already.
And she might reply, "You can help me
by taking pity on my loneliness and
coming here if only for few minutes
sometimes in the evening"
She started almost guiltily when
Marian spoke. She had actually forgot
ten for the moment that her sister was
present.
"You will remember your promise to
keep my plans secret between us,
won't you Lois?" Marian was asking.
"Yes," Lois replied. "But-what
shall l tell anyone who asks where
you are?"
"Just say that am taking up line
of work that demands SO much of my
time that have to give up my evenings
to it. 1t is nobody's business but yours
and mine anyway. Certainly nobody
in the church has shown us so much
consideration that we should feel
obliged to take any of that bunch into
our confidence"
Except Mr. Sumner" Lois amended.
"Yes," Marian admitted, ''he has
been kind. l shall tell him enough
about my work to keep him from know
ing too much about it," with forced
laugh. HE would be shocked to death
if he knew that 1 danced in public"
what can you tell him." Lois asked.

matter to me-"

father tried to foist his ideals no

it and each makes dark prophecies
about what the present generation
is coming to.
"Your grandfather thought bustles

instead of The Sheik.'
"And your grandfather told your

enough to their children to know what
they are doing and to stretch out a
hand and hold them steady when they
