CHAPTER XIX.

| Itlt " dS ilOL q SliiS 4t Nd Jul III E that hot July that Honey Lou did not wait all day for call from Jack. Every night when she came home from Holy Cross hospital she | half expected to see his biack-and- nickel car standing in the street be- l low her flat
 But it was never there. And as July wore away into a day ard and sultry August she gave up hope of his coming. Luck, that skittish mare. had thrown her. She was sure of it.
 Then on the first Monday in Sep tember Angela came down to the hospital. She had just come home from the country and her arms were filled with dahlias that she was bringing to the sick little children in Ward A.
 She looked more like story book angel than ever, with her white summery clothes and her little yellow hat that was like a halo on her yellow hair.
 Isn't she beautiful" Miss Dalrymple, whose desk was next to | Honey Lous desk, breathed in awed admiration when Angela walked into the office that day. "Oh. I just think Miss Aliens too darling for words! She's just as sweet as she looks, tool"
 Angela came straight to Honey Lou's desk, bent over her chair and kissed her on both cheeks.
 Why, I didn't know you were here, darling" she said to her in her gentle voice. 'I didn't know you'd left MT. Wallack.
 "Oh, yes" Honey Lou sighed. "Oh. yes" She hoped that Angela wouldn't ask her why she had left. She wouldn't know what to answer if she did.
 'As soon as I take these flowers back to the kiddies," Angela went on, still smiling her lovely gray-cyed smile, I'm coming back 10 take Miss Honey Lou Huntley to lunch, if shell go with me"
 "Oh. Angela, you're always doing nice things for me. l cant accept them all. just cant go 10 lunch with you today" Honey Lou pro tested. There was a little frown between her arched brows.
 But Angela was not going to take No" for an answer.
 T owe you q party anyway" she declared smoothly. All summer long I've been meaning to have you speid weekend with us up in the country But somehow the summer was gone before I realized it. So you've just got to come with me to- day. We haven't had one of those good talks of ours for ages and ages"
 At last, Honey Lou put on her hat, powdered her little nose and followed Angela out 10 her car.
 Honey Lou, you look thin. What have you been worrying about? Rngela asked when they were sitting opposite each other at a little table in the middle of the glittering restaurant
 Up went Honey Lou's firm little chin.
 Nothing. Not thing in the world" she said, shaking her head until the gold-tipped curls around her ears fairly danced up and down. Maybe the heat has pulled me down a bit. No one has less to worry about than have"
 Angela broke off a tiny piece of toast and nibbled 1t. She ate deli cately and beautifullyy8
 T thought you might have been bothering your head over Jack" she said presently q knew that he wasn't seeing as much of you as he did last spring. I thought you and he might have had spat-and that perhaps that's why you had left the mills"
 Now. how did she guess all that?" Honey Lou asked herself "she must have second sight"
 She gave her head vigorous shake. Tt wouldn't bother me 1T I never saw Jack again" she fibbed brazenly and brayely.
