; water against the shore, but those
two sounds seemed to help her
hold the lingering sweetness Of
the big moment that had passed.
When she fully turned, it was
to put new fuel on the flames,
and so about repairing the havoc
the party had wrought. She
tucked her lawless hair under q
little cap, put on an apron and
undertook her first midnight job
OF housekeeping. Her ecstasy Of
Joy had gone when she finally
surveyed the rooms and smiled
q grim little smile OF satisfaction.
The only thing left was the ta-
Bile and she did her best with wax
and oil to make it resume its
former polish.
The mantel clock chimed three
before she replaced the scarf and
went into her bedroom. The fire
had died away unnoticed in the
turmoil OF work and thoughts
which crowded her mind. She
crept between the sheets only to
lie awake and stare at the cell

What Jared had asked had
seemed sc. easy when he looked
at her. but now it assumed
q more Serious aspect. What
would it mean to dad and mother?
How would they feel to learn that
she had gone with never a word
of warning. They had planned
so much to- make her happy.
Never d wish had not been granted
unless they thought her desires
to be unwise. And how had she
repaid them?
Betty turned over abruptly as
though she H6uld turn her back
on such thoughts. Her mind took
another turn. Jared was a man
they would. like. If they knew
him they would understand, of
course. Perhaps q letter? The
thought grew in her mind until
she rose, threw a robe about her
and went to the writing desk.
The dampness of the air pene-
trated and chilled her. but it
seemed to waken her still more.

Betty felt numbness steal

Then she looked up to find four
pair OF eyes fixed on them in
astonishnient.

His tone did not leave any room

To Betty, as she rested in ia

brush hard against hers, it seemed
Al the joy in the world had come
to her. The way was clear into
the future. Love subdued all else.
Her brown head rested against his
blonde one with confidence
which made him frown as he
released her and once more moved
toward the door to join the crowd
waiting in the car outside.
