More Experience.

AS they drove away from the hotel
Fay had moment of misgiving.
There was something about George
Waldron that she intuitively dis
trusted. He was too sleek. his smile
was too sure. He lacked Jack g sin
cerity and Dick Preston's youthful
viewpoint. She felt somehow that he
was darkly experienced and she
wondered at herself for accepting his
invitation.
Then she remembered. She had
wanted to shock them all as they
sat there on the veranda, and most
of all she had wanted to shock
Dean Hampton. She had wanted TO
show him how little 1t meant To her
whether OF not he disapproved of
her.
As she sat there beside George
WaIdron Fay considered the impulse
that had made it possible for her To
he here She did not like George
Wsldron, but then she did not like
Dick Preston particula rly, or Jack
encoura ged them. Was this what
she had in mind when she had laid
her plans to come to Shadow Valley
as a widow? Was 1t only attention
that she had craved and nothing
more? OF course, she had wanted to
be popular. but she hadn't wanted
to make an enemy of every girl in
the hotel, which was just what had
happened.
George Wsldrons smooth voice
broke in on her thoughts.
