motionless, and watched them go by.
The man, he could see him better,
now, was of medium height, medium
weight, and with no distinguishing
popularity Of gait or bearing.
r 1t seemed, to Todd that he might
or might not have seen him before,
it was..a- figure not easy to identify,
unless more clearly seen.
Yet he cared little who the man
might be. He was so cast down by
the self-evident fact that he was an
intimate friend of Bunny's that it
made small difference what his name
was.
After a few more steps Bunny evil
GENTLY forbade the man to go fur
Their with her on her homeward way,
and with obvious reluctance the man
paused and stood watching her as
she went on alone.
Dear little Bunny; she stepped out
bravely and Todd fairly yearned to
run after her and go on by her side.
But something held him back. First.
he was not at all sure she would
welcome such an attention, and also,
because some instinct told him to
follow the man. To track him down
and find out who he was and what
he was up to.
At first Indifferent, Tod felt a
growing impulse to trail him home
or wherever he was bound for.

She took her armful Of dusty cur
tains to the kitchen, piled them into
a zinc wash tub, sprinkled them with
soap powder, and left them to soak
in hot water until the rest of the
house was cleaned.
Then, feeling that there were not
enough minutes in the day ahead of
her for half the work that had to be
done, she hurried into her parents
bedroom. She picked up from The
floor her mothers enormous, tatting
trimmed domestic" nightgown, and
her fathers nightshirt, and hung
them in the closet. \Then she yanked
sheets and pillows from the bed, and
with mighty heave of her strong
young arms, turned the mattress.
Faith spread the rumpled sheets

wouldn't let it hang in the living
room. With vigorous strokes of her
broom Faith swept the faded Japan
ese m3tting, then welded her dust
cloth over the bed, dresser, chairs
and pictures.
Then, with a feeling Of resentment
rising hotly in her throat, she went
INTO Cherry's room. 1T was always
ga a state of widest disorder after
Cherry had dressed-two or three
pairs Of slippers kicking about the
brown-painted floor; the three small
rugs Of rose-pink chenille awry,
double back on themselves, speckled
with powder; silk stockings flung
over chair-back and footboard of the
bed; curling hairs from Cherry's
bright head thick on the powder
crusted, rouge-stained dresser scarf;
dresser drawers hanging far out,
draped with silk underwear and I'M
mated stockings; a slightly soiled
peach silk kimono, half on the low
chair, half on the floor; the pink
georgette for Faith to clean and
press hanging Imply over a chair

Why wouldn't Cherry at least
make her own bed? AS Faith seized
the rumpled pillow, letter fell to
the floor. She picked it up, looked
at the dashing handwriting below
