ing him to go quicker and quicker
She felt cowardly and demeaned.
They stood a moment at her door
In the shadows she saw his pale,
worn face and WINGED.
He ran his hand over his hair:
Don't think about it, Sandy. That
wouldn't happen again in ten years"
She nodded mutely, raising her
face for him to kiss her and smiled.
Then she went with quick, light
steps and frightened heart to her
room.
Suppose Jack Horace had pulled
open the door Of the kitchen. And
he would tell everybody in Santa
Barbara how he'd caught her red
handed-living with a man..
In the dark, she felt her skin turn
crimson. She pulled the blankets
over her shoulders, sinking down,
trying bluff1y to say: II don't care!'
She chung to many sweet. glowing
moments-that night when the bur-

little sick-desperate with the wish
to put out her hand and wipe every
thing UNDERWRITING.
Suddenly she sat upright, saying
fearfully: II love him. Don't love
him. Oh, Lord" she remembered
Ramon's white, worn face and cow
cred.
In the morning he phoned. She
didn't want to see him. She said:
IT think I'll ride up to the city and
visit my cousin. I've not seen her
in ages"
"I'll drive you up. I'm going
there tonight. anyway"
She shrank from this. But when
she went to the train. Ramon was
there.
please, Sandy. Let me drive you
up. Don't make catastrophe of
mere chance like that. No one will
see u.s."
"Oh, on holiday like this, Ramon
hundreds of machines will be pass
ing"
You can pull down the shades"
He kept pleading-oppressin her
because he had a white, stricken
look
Finally she said: "All right" and
huddled down, quiet and unhappy
wishing she could run away; run
far off; escape from everything.
He drove quickly till they reached !
the park. E. . lettering here at the |
Chain of Lakes. He said, solemnly |
taking her hands: I'm going to take
you away, Sandy. I planned it last |
night. That's the only way we can
keep our happiness"
1t always weighted her when he
talked in this grim, respondent way.
will you come with me, Sandy?
You will, because I mean it."
"Oh, ask me next week, Ramon.
I'm not in the clipping mood today"
She bantered, fighting off his de-
he finally released her and she was
running up the steps Of the white |
fiat in Fulton ST., where Judith |
lived.
Breeze in here-sunny and gay

eothor--foroo4 hod 20 IN, fha
world. Remember only that she was
young-ready for larks.
Judith was home alone. They
threw their arms around each other.
They sat a long time over their
lunch-elbows hunched on the table.
Judith was in the highest spirits,
laboring with some beautiful excite

"a MANI" Sandy asked.
1.-TWO or three; I'm just that at
tractive."
But when they went to Judith's
room a dancing dress was spread
out on the bed. I'm stepping to
night-going to the ST. Francis"
Joyously: I've never done that De
forer'
"Who?"
"A man I met-you don't know
him" Judith was ducking to the
closet, getting out her suit. They
were going to a movie. AS she
emerged, Sandy caught a glimpse of
her in the mirror, glowing-a lovely
look in Judith's eyes.
II don't know him? Is this his
picture? Sandy picked up the pho

uppermost in the firm lips and
straight-glancing eyes, Judith came
with a little rush and grabbed the
picture from her.
That's only the boy next door"
Indeed, Jude, you little old sneak!
Nice chap, isn't he. So you've
learned about loving from him? Hes
the one that could make you throw
everything to the winds?"
Judith stood moment, burning
from head to foot. Then she said
swiftly "Oh, yes-when I love 1t
will be like that"
