 have laughed out loud for sheer re- lief. Her spirits rose like a lark at break of day.
 1 Under Aunt AgonSs watching cyes her face flushed and bloomed like q rose, with her sudden hap piness. Her eyes danced like blue black water in the sun, One hand went 10 her breast, where her heart was throbLing under her soft mus lin uightgown, as only the thought Of Fanny could make it throb. Well. I'd better hop out of this he'd and get dressed" she cried. 'ls there some fresh coffee Ranny likes ii strong, and I'll hustle down and make him some French toast"
 She jumped up from the bed, and standing on her bare toes, she hug ged Aunt Agony and kissed her leathcry cheek. Then she ran into the bathroom and turned on the water in the old tin tub,
 While it was filling she dashed hack into the bedroom, and took q fresh dress out Of her bag. II was cheap cotton thing but it was inc clear, larkspur blue that Ranny loY-
 She laid fl on the bed. and began 10 spray perfume on it. from q bot tla that Fay had given her for Christmas. She spro. ad some more of ii on her dark cloudy hair. Aunt Agony took if all in with grim eyes.
 "Fixing yourself all up for him aren't you 2" she asked with sharp sarcasm. Last night VOL were go- ing to leave him and now you're ready to welcome him with open arms. The way he winds you around his little finger does beat all"

 "'Three things are too wonderful for me" she quoted. "'the way of tn eagle in the air. the way of ship on the sea and the way of man with maid"
 i Having said this, she raised hor eyebrows. her chin and her nose, and marched out of the room lifting her feet like Prussian soldier do- ing the Eoose-step.

 lifted a finger toward getting Ranny ! la bite Of breakfast.
 "Thore's everything you need on

 Sylvia came back 10 the table for a minute.
 Now, Aunt Agony If you say an- other word against Ranny. I'll walk out of the house" she warned her "T'm sorry told you what happen ed last night. ! should have known that Rannv didn't mean anything hy it. Way down deep in his heart, he doesn't care for anyone but me. and I ought to remember that better than I do. I ought to trust him"
